1:31 pm
here's chris fawkes. thanks. our cool run of weather is set to continue for the next few days, but a big difference between what we've seen so for this week and todayis what we've seen so for this week and today is that it's notjust cool, but also very wet. quite grim in places. an area of low pressure bringing the main income are slowly pushing its way northwards. taking quite a while. the wettest of the weather really across north wales, the north midlands, northern england and getting into scotland. around these north sea coasts, easterly winds gusting at a little over 30 mph in places. that really will make it feel quite chilly. at the same time, we will seek sunshine further south, but heavy, slow moving thundery showers possible. 15 degrees in london but across parts of north—east england, around six at the moment, and even cooler across the moment, and even cooler across the valleys in northern scotland, where temperatures at the moment are around 4 degrees. chilly weather. 0vernight our band of rain stops moving north and starts to drift a
1:32 pm
bit further southwards again with some showers, quite a bit of cloud around. not cold for most but there will be some thrust across the far north of scotland. 0ne will be some thrust across the far north of scotland. one or two wintry showers possible. that takes us into thursday. looking at a cloudy day. through the day the rain will tend to ease to showers, some of those showers are quite heavy in places. the best of the weather in scotland, where we will see sunshine. and it will feel a bit more pleasant out and about. temperatures 12 degrees in edinburgh. further south with heavy downpours, highs of 15 degrees 01’ so heavy downpours, highs of 15 degrees orso in heavy downpours, highs of 15 degrees or so in london. to the end of the week, friday, further showers in the forecast. some of these will develop to become heavy, slow—moving and thundery in nature. but there will be spells of sunshine around, as well. the best of this towards wales and southern counties of england. temperatures coming up an odd degree and that's a sign of what's to come. we are seeing significant changes in oui’ we are seeing significant changes in ourjet stream. we are seeing significant changes in our jet stream. these we are seeing significant changes in ourjet stream. these are the we are seeing significant changes in our jet stream. these are the fast winds high in the earth's atmosphere. taking this more undulating pattern. under this bridge, the air sinking downwards
1:33 pm
through the atmosphere, but rising gci’oss through the atmosphere, but rising across into france. this rising air will be associated with an area of low pressure that should just stay to our south. that sinking air, we get this big area of high pressure developing so the weather will be com pletely developing so the weather will be completely different. through the weekend and well into next week, it's dry! its sunny! and it will feel quite warm with temperatures climbing back into the low 20s. this cool spell of weather that won't last too much longer. ben. that's all from the bbc news at 0ne, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news... more reaction to liverpool's champions league miracle to come. but first...
1:34 pm
chelsea's transfer ban remains in place, which means they won't be able to sign any new players for the next year. having breached rules on signing foreign players under the age of 18 they've been prevented from signing players over the next two transfer windows. after appealing, they've been permitted to sign players under the age of 16 from within the uk, that will do little to boost the first team squad, who've qualified for next season's champions league, but they could lose star man eden hazard in the summer. steph houghton will captain england at this summer's women's world cup. the squad was announced a bit differently this morning... this is the lionesses twitter feed where the names were announced by some famous faces. prince william, david beckham and actress emma watson amongst those getting involved. the full squad is on the bbc sport website, and england kick off their campaign against scotland on the ninth june. scotla nd on the ninthjune. are a fantastic team, their manager scotland are a fantastic team, their manager is a great coach. we have a
1:35 pm
really difficult group, argentina, scotla nd really difficult group, argentina, scotland and japan. three dangerous teams. we will be at our best. the third—ranked team at the world in this moment in time, there is a lot of expectation on us but our performances in the last 16 months has been really good and there's more to come from oui’ has been really good and there's more to come from our players. there's an increasingly uncertain future for bolton wanderers with the club to be put into administration. 0wner ken anderson says he has been left with "little or no choice", with a winding—up petition still hanging over the club. the club have been relegated to league one this season, and administration would mean starting next season with a 12—point deduction. the celebrations roll on for liverpool as the fall out begins in barcelona following one of the greatest footballing comebacks in champions league history. the quick thinking of defender trent alexander—arnold helped them win it, as his side overturned a 3—0 first leg deficit to win 11—3 on aggregate. lionel messi and his team—mates totally shell—shocked as they throw away a three goal semi final lead
1:36 pm
for a second year in a row. the papers in spain today are utterly scathing over the barcelona performance. the daily football paper marca says it was a ‘historic failure‘. as described it as ‘thunder in anfield‘. whilst the sport daily paper blacked out theirfront page, calling the result the ‘biggest farce in the history of spain‘. i‘m sure the barcelona players were not enjoy reading those on their return! as promised let‘s bring you some more reation, let‘s hear from alan shearer who was part of bbc radio 5 live‘s commentary team at anfield last night. the atmosphere was staggering, from start to finish. the crowd got right behind them, after that first goal, you could sense something big was about to happen. and the second, third and fourth. in the second half, it was a pleasure to be there. brilliant to be involved. where do
1:37 pm
you rate the liverpool side? it looked like they were going to miss out on the league potentially but they picked up and turned the game around? watching man city, and how they won their game on monday evening, to put in that performance with that attitude, desire and hunger, and the will to win, not often do you get everyone in a team with perfect, ten out of ten performances. and the european ryder cup captain padraig harrington has cut the number of wildcards he‘ll pick for next year‘s tournament from four to 3. his team defend their title whistling straights in the us. it means that nine players will automatically qualify for places, with harrington saying that players are more comfortable when they make it on their own steam rather than being a captain‘s pick. just a word on the cricket. the start of england‘s one—day international at the oval has been delayed because of bad weather. we will keep you updated on any progress on that to come throughout the day. that‘s all the sport for now, more in afternoon live.
1:38 pm
studio: john, many thanks. the duke and duchess of sussex have shown their baby to the world two days after their son was born. the child is seventh in line to the throne and the queen and the duke of edinburgh‘s eighth great—grandchild. the couple have been speaking about their pride at becoming parents. it‘s magic, it has been pretty amazing. i have the two best guys in the world, so i‘m really happy. tell us a little bit about your son, what‘s he like? is he sleeping well, good baby? yes! he has the sweetest temperament. really calm, and... i know where he gets that from! and he‘s just been the dream! it‘s been a special couple of days. who does he take after, does he look like anyone?
1:39 pm
we are still trying to figure that out. people say that babies change so much over two weeks. we will monitor how the changing process happens over the next month, really. but his looks are changing every single day. so who knows? and how are you finding parenting generally? is it still a special moment? it's great, parenting is amazing. it has only been two and a half, three days, but we are just so thrilled to have our own little bundle ofjoy and to spend some precious times with him as he slowly starts to grow up. and you are off to see two special people in a minute? yes. the queen and the duke? yes, we bumped into him, he was walking... it was so nice, it‘s a nice moment to introduce the to the family and my mum is with us as well. it has been a really good moment. another great grandchild! can we have a peek?
1:40 pm
we cannot quite see his face. he already has a bit of facial hair as well! wonderful! thank you, thank you everybody for all of the well wishes and kindness. it means so much. thank you. that was the duke and duchess of sussex showing their newborn son at windsor castle, we still do not have a name, it is hoped his name may be announced today, with much speculation about what he might be called. these school children have been telling us their thoughts. i think that the royal baby should be called stanley, and if they are thinking of a silly name, then it could be cloud pineapple. i quite like royal—sounding names, and don't do names that are used too often, and especially don't do names
1:41 pm
that are already in the royal family right now. my advice to harry and meghan on a baby name would be edward, because it is very regal and it has been passed down in the royal family. if they want to go something like an american name, they should go for something like blue. i think it should be called albert because it is a very royal name and it has been passed down through generations but if you want to have an american name, i think it should be called jackson storm. i would probably choose christopher, just because it sounds really royal, but if i had to choose an american name it would be blaze. there we are, the ideas of some schoolchildren there. there‘s been a significant drop in the number of gps per head of the population over the past four years. the independent health think tank, the nuffield trust, found that the number of gps per 100,000 people fell
1:42 pm
from nearly 65 to 60. the nhs says extra support staff will be recruited to work alongside gps. the research, carried out for the bbc, found that on average doctors now have 125 more patients each than they did in 2014. one part of the country that appears to be bucking that trend is south west england where the number of gps has risen by just over 1% in the last two years. 0ur health correspondent jenny walrond has been to meet some doctors there who feel positive about the future of general practice. 0ver over here, we have two operating theatres. this is one. a gp practice where you can also see a visiting hospital consultant, or even have a minor operation. the new st clair medical centre in penzance was privately financed by doctors in three local practices and at a time when difficulty recruiting is causing others to be much more cautious. we are hugely excited
1:43 pm
about it, it was the opportunity to design something from scratch and create a place that can give high quality health care, be innovative, where we can be close to home and embrace technology, and offer the best services we can for our patients and enhance the working atmosphere for our staff. hello! come on income and have a seat. how are you? at st clair, recruiting staff has not been a problem. they‘ve got that down to their proactive approach. unfortunately, doctors are not just proactive approach. unfortunately, doctors are notjust turning up on our doorstep wanting jobs. we have to go and look for them. also, it means we have to run our practice as well as we can to make it an enjoyable place to work. despite well reported problems, some people think it is an excellent profession. doctor elizabeth cao and has just finished herfinal doctor elizabeth cao and has just finished her final exams. doctor elizabeth cao and has just finished her final examslj doctor elizabeth cao and has just finished her final exams. i really enjoyed general practice when i did it as part of my training. and particularly in the south—west we
1:44 pm
have a very good general practice. we are one of the best at recruiting for general practice here in the south—west. it wasn't so much of an issue for me. but, i know that definitely come across the country, there are a lot of issues with recruitment. professorjohn campbell has researched the problems facing general practice. he says the difficulties many practices are having feeling vacancies has a knock—on effect on patients. having feeling vacancies has a knock-on effect on patients. -- filling vacancies for topic tra nslates filling vacancies for topic translates not just on filling vacancies for topic translates notjust on doctors and the health care system but into things like delays in getting appointments with a doctor. 0r things like delays in getting appointments with a doctor. or not being able to see the doctor you wa nt to being able to see the doctor you want to see, or choosing to attend a&e or another nhs service. demand for services is rising. innovation has been key to survival. using paramedics to take on some of the urgent illnesses and minor injuries. at st clair, they also have community rooms and are adding a
1:45 pm
cafe to the reception area. jenny walrond, bbc spotlight. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, challenged the theresa may over the nhs at prime minister‘s questions. let‘s go live to westminster now and join our assistant political editor norman smith with his assessment on pmqs and what is happening in politics today. ben, thank you. a pancake pmqs, a bit flat and lacklustre. mr corbin and mrs may trading figures on the nhs. most notable bits? perhaps that question from the relatively new tory mp andrea jenkyns, confronting theresa may and telling her she had failed and it was time to step aside. 0f course, ian blackford, the royal baby blooper when he got the wrong pa rents. baby blooper when he got the wrong parents. a bit awkward, that! let‘s discuss with the liberal democrats christine jardine, labour‘s lucy powell and peter bone of the conservatives. what about that
1:46 pm
question from andrea jenkins? is that more of the same or is there something new going on?” that more of the same or is there something new going on? i think the difference now is that the majority of conservative mps think she needs to go and go soon. we were supposed to go and go soon. we were supposed to have a timetable where theresa may said she would not go pastjune, but we are all waiting for some announcement. she avoided answering the question again today. let me put it to you, if the 1922 committee agree to redraft the leadership contest, who says mrs may will not lead again? it will be down to the conservative mps, we have a national convention and an extraordinary national convention at the association chairs man. we've talked about the no—confidence motion, my local association there is no interest in her, it is clear we have a pmqs plant where we have three party leaders and all will be going
1:47 pm
soon. lucy, isn't the difficulty intensive getting some sort of break set compromise together. if you have a prime minister who is not going to be there long, there is not much incentive forjeremy corbyn to do a deal? —— brexit. incentive forjeremy corbyn to do a deal? -- brexit. that is one of the difficulties but the fragility of the prime minister's position and government, it is a challenge. the parliamentary maths will not change. i know that tory mps think magically changing leaders mean there will be a parliamentary majority for brexit, but we still have that situation but thatis but we still have that situation but that is why yesterday's talks, from what i can read, were particularly disappointing. we really do have two follow through and make a big and bold offer to labour, and for it to be something they could support and deal with this relatively quickly.
1:48 pm
it seems that yesterday they got lost in a mire of confusion and were not able to do that. i hope that today. the government, that is, they have engaged really well but the government have to make a real offer to labour. and there and do you have to labour. and there and do you have to keep your fingers crossed and hope the talks fail, if they succeed, it is goodbye, good night, for another referendum?” succeed, it is goodbye, good night, for another referendum? i cannot see how any deal can get through parliament without having a referendum attached to it. so many mps support that. both labour and the conservatives are missing the point. we had cancellations across england last week where the remain photo was huge. the party had its most successful ninth liberal democrat in local elections. and people casting around for somewhere to protest? there are other places they could protest that ukip also lost votes. it is clear that the
1:49 pm
country want a change in direction and not this continuous repetitive bringing back the deal and refusing it. this government has turned wasting valuable time into an art form. did the local elections change anything? they showed us what we already knew. the country is divided over these issues. already knew. the country is divided overthese issues. people already knew. the country is divided over these issues. people who voted for brexit in the first place, they wa nt for brexit in the first place, they want to change in their area and changing their lives, we are still asking for that change and we haven't addressed the deep because of brexit. i wouldn't support another referendum if i thought we weren't addressing those issues and staying in the eu addressed those. we have not addressed the challenges. we lost seats to many different parties and in many different parties and in many different parts of the country last week. it was a plague on all your houses. people are fed up with brexit. some people voted lib dems, others voted for independence because they do not think we are
1:50 pm
getting on with brexit. i do not think you can just getting on with brexit. i do not think you canjust say getting on with brexit. i do not think you can just say that last week showed what we need is to stay in the eu and have a second referendum. that is indicative of the biggest single problem we have had, the public see it that politicians are not listening. they voted overwhelmingly for the liberal democrats and four remain. and for the conservative party is to come back. you need to listen to what the vote rs back. you need to listen to what the voters are saying. i have voters in my own constituency. we wanted 704 seats. that is a phenomenal amount for us. when we enter those elections as the party of the biggest losers were the tories, we can agree on that. does that actually strengthen your hand? does it actually provide momentum for nigel farage, or does it strengthen brexiteer s in the tory party? what
1:51 pm
we will see in the european elections is a test on how the country feels about europe and if we ta ke country feels about europe and if we take your view, if nigel farage and the brexit leaning parties when a majority, you have to accept the party was with brexit and that is what will happen. losing more than one in fourof what will happen. losing more than one in four of the conservative councils was not about the fact they did not clean the bins well but it was entirely about the fact we have not delivered brexit. i thought the other question on pmqs was when they referred to liverpool football club. an amazing result last night and the reason? the extraordinary leadership and inspiration of the team leader, the manager. perhaps if we changed our manager, and a new prime minister, we would have the same? that is enough juergen minister, we would have the same? that is enouthuergen klopp for now! thank you. i should say on the ian black that front, i‘ve done it,
1:52 pm
i was doing it during one of the blair elections, i was having a hard time from sharon storer, but i was calling her throughout the interview sharon stone! you can never have too muchjuergen clark, sharon stone! you can never have too much juergen clark, i sharon stone! you can never have too muchjuergen clark, i should just stay that —— say that! in a moment, all of the latest business news but first the headlines. the world gets its first glimpse of the new royal baby. in a photocall at windsor castle, the duke and duchess of sussex said their baby has the sweetest temperament. gps blame excessive workloads for the first sustained fall in their numbers in 50 years. a falklands war veteran who had his medal taken off him because he was bisexual is planning to sue the ministry of defence.
1:53 pm
hello, time for a look at the business news this afternoon. accountancy firm kpmg has been fined £5 million and has been severely reprimanded. after admitting misconduct in its audit of the co—operative bank in 2009. regulators said that the accountants failed to exercise sufficient professional scepticism when overseeing the bank‘s accounts. uber drivers in london, birmingham, nottingham and glasgow will protest outside the company‘s offices on today. they‘re striking over pay and working conditions and will be joined by drivers in the us cities of new york, san francisco, and washington dc amongst others. global stock markets have tumbled after us president donald trump‘s unexpected threat to impose new tariffs on chinese exports. the us president has vowed to double tariffs on chinese goods that will take effect this week. but a chinese delegation is still due in the us for trade talks this week. hello, good afternoon. welcome to the business news.
1:54 pm
now, that lovely bit of sunshine we got over easter weekend meant we weren‘t spending as much in the shops. we‘ve had some retail figures out for april, and they‘re not as high as analysts were expecting. sales rose by 3.7%. kyle monk is head of insights and analytics at the british retail consortium. not all bad news, in the three months to april, sales were higher and it was quite positive? yes, while april sales were below expectation, on the face of things, it was positive. total april sales we re it was positive. total april sales were up 4.1%. we should bear in mind that in april easter, traditionally a strong trading period, fell in march. there is a distortion effect there. equally, it was a poor trading period in the previous year. total sales were up 0.4%, perhaps a
1:55 pm
truer comparison. and recreational spend, spend in restaurants, that was more positive? yes, record temperatures had britons getting their barbecues ready. that was a rise of 2.7% on food trade but non—food, that was the detriment of the high street. non—food fell by 1.796 in the high street. non—food fell by 1.7% in the same period. where there isa 1.7% in the same period. where there is a determining factor, we spoke a lot about brexit and the last day of retail sales. the weather is definitely a driving factor, brexit has created uncertainty which has driven confidence to a four—year low. that will have a continued effect in the next you months but it is hard to say what. i didn't enjoy my easter weekend, i was working! 0h well, speak soon. time for a look at the markets, global markets are lower, the ftse 100 for a look at the markets, global markets are lower, the ftse100 dot
1:56 pm
we don‘t have the markets. the ftse low after u ncerta i nty we don‘t have the markets. the ftse low after uncertainty between chinese us state talks —— trade talks. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. for many of us, the cooler weather we have seen so far this week continues today. it is notjust cool though, it is also pretty wet, with rain falling widely across the uk. it is going to feel quite miserable, particularly on some of our north sea coasts. this is the area of low pressure that is bringing wetter weather across most areas of the uk, although the rain is not reaching the far north of scotland. here, it is going to stay bright with some hazy spells of sunshine, lasting even into the afternoon. but the rain is pretty relentless across northern england, central, southern and eastern areas of scotland. brightening up in the south, but with some heavy, potentially thundery, showers moving in later in the day. it is in the south that we see the highest temperatures, but around those north sea coasts there will be some areas
1:57 pm
that see temperatures no higher than seven celsius, with gusty easterly winds making it feel really quite cold. 0vernight tonight, our area of low pressure continues to feed the rain in. the weather front slowly starts to sink its way further southwards again. so the rain will edge its way towards lincolnshire and yorkshire overnight as well. temperatures, five to nine celsius. cold enough for a touch of frost in the north of scotland. it is the north of scotland that will get off to the best start of the day on thursday, with more sunshine. otherwise, it is cloudy again with showers breaking out. some of those could be quite heavy and fairly slow moving. temperatures range from around 9 to 15 celsius. so in many areas we are still a little bit below normal for the time of year. for friday, there is a better chance of seeing a little bit more in the way of sunshine breaking through the cloud, but it won‘t be a clear sunshine. there will be clouds developing through the afternoon and, again, some fairly heavy showers are likely to develop, perhaps with some thunder storms moving in. temperatures edging up a little bit. highs of between 10 and 16 celsius. but as we get towards the weekend,
1:58 pm
we see some big changes with our jet stream. it starts to get more wavy. within this ridge we get sinking air and within this trough over france we get rising air. within the rising air, an area of low pressure will form. now, we think that is probablyjust going to stay across into france but it gets quite close to southern england. in the sinking air, a big area of high pressure formed through the weekend and that is going to be hanging around well into next week as well. so a real change in the weather is on the way. it becomes dry, sunny and much warmer as well. temperatures up to 19 degrees celsius midweek in cardiff. that is your latest weather. goodbye for now.
2:00 pm
