good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at 5:00. britain's economy has had a boost with growth of 0.5% in the first three months of the year. it's partly because, with the original brexit deadline of march the 29th, businesses were stockpiling goods and racing to deliver orders. manufacturers saw their fastest expansion since the 1980s. andy verity reports. this manufacturer in nuneaton makes metal pressings, components for nissan and honda. the moment the car—makers need them for their latest car, it supplies them immediately, just in time. in the first three months of this year that meant it had to take precautions in case a no—deal brexit cut off the supply of steel

and aluminium imported from belgium. like thousands of other businesses it bought in more raw materials than it normally would have done. that may sound sensible, but it carries big costs. we have had to tie cash up all the way around this and a significant amount of cash which we did not budget for in last year's budget. that has meant that other investments we were going to make have either slid backwards or they have not happened at all. from january to march, economic activity grew faster than it did before christmas, but slower than it did last summer. because many of those extra supplies were imported, it has also worsened our trade performance and it has not looked healthy for decades. the uk economy is performing robustly despite the evidence of slowing global growth and the continued brexit uncertainty at home, so it is good news. the economy did grow faster than it

did before christmas, but slower than it did last summer and because many of those extra supplies were imported, it has also worsened our trade performance which has not looked healthy for decades. on this chart the top line is what we import and the bottom is what we export. for years we have imported more than we export. the gap between the two is the trade deficit and look at what has happened to that over the last 20 or 30 years, it has been going down and recently it has plunged. it gets worse when you strip out services where we sell more abroad than we buy in. if you look at goods, the trade deficit there has hit a new record. imports of cars rose sharply from january to march. had a no—deal brexit led to a weaker pound and new tariffs, imported cars might have shot up in price. car dealers worried about that could buy them whilst still cheap. imports of gold also rose. studies show people buy more of it when they are worried.

with me to discuss today's gdp figures in more detail is sarah hewin, senior economist at standard chartered. how much of this was a bounce for the british economy caused by all that stockpiling ahead of march the 29th when people thought we were leaving? there was some huge stockpiling and that is very evident in the numbers. but a lot of those stocks were imported and imports are a drag on the gdp data. so what is interesting about this number is, what happened to consumer spending? consumers are counted for a large pa rt consumers are counted for a large part of the increasing growth in the first quarter and that's because jobs are plentiful, earnings are rising, even if you strip out inflation and there was a little bit of stockpiling from households as

well ahead of brexit. are these quarterly figures one off in a sense because brexit isn't resolved and we don't know what is going to happen and there could be much more stockpiling, presumably? what we are likely to see in the current quarter and the second quarter of this year is something of a give back. businesses have built up stockpiles and they were very supply change would be disrupted if we had no—deal brexit. we have plenty of stock so they will run that down and that will have an impact on the data for the second quarter. what is interesting is what has been happening to consumer spending. it looks like it will continue rising. what has happened to investment? if picked up in the first quarter but overall investment has been on a sustained deterioration. that will probably be the pattern for the rest of the year. what is the underlying condition of the british economy? of the year. what is the underlying condition of the british economy7m is growing, but not as fast as it was before the brexit referendum. it

isa was before the brexit referendum. it is a reasonably, modest rate of growth. it's not too bad. the economy is still creating jobs and wages are rising. unfortunately, investment is weak and it has been declining. if you look on year—on—year data, investment is down and that is not very good for the economy for the long run. investment is weak, is that because of brexit uncertainty and people don't know what is going to happen? i think it probably is. if you look at what has happened to investment in the other eu countries, investment has been rising. there is a break in the trend between the uk and the rest of europe. elsewhere businesses are investing, uk businesses are investing, uk businesses are investing, uk businesses are just not investing. sarah, thank you. two former police detectives have been jailed for sabotaging child abuse investigations.

the old bailey heard sharon patterson and lee pollard forged documents and misled supervisors at essex police, in order to shut down inquiries and "avoid doing the work". patterson was sentenced to eighteen months, while pollard patterson was sentenced to 18 months, while pollard was jailed for two years. is outside the old bailey. this is about two officers working for the essex police. thejudge told them they had shut down cases to avoid doing their work. he said to them, you have failed the victims. he said they had committed multiple a cts he said they had committed multiple acts of dishonesty. pollard was jailed for two years and patterson for 18 months. they will serve half

of their sentences in prison before being released on licence. the details amounted to very high harm, according to thejudge. in pollard's case, he destroyed four photographs taken from the home of a suspect which could have been crucial evidence in a potential prosecution. what they had done was try to bring these cases to an end. there was no monetary gain for them, it was in essence to cut corners and avoid doing the work and short—circuit these investigations. there were strong litigation but on of sharon patterson that she should be given a suspended prison term. she has three children and has lost herjob. but thejudge felt the children and has lost herjob. but the judge felt the offending was so serious he had to pass imprisonment to these former detectives.

the trade war between the united states and china has escalated. the us has more than doubled tariffs on $200 billion worth of chinese goods. it's raised duties from ten to 25% on a range of products from car parts to furniture. negotiations between beijing and washington have concluded for the day with no clear agreement on a way out of the dispute. president trump says he's in "absolutely no rush" to finalise a deal, and that tariffs will make america stronger, not weaker. robin brant reports from shanghai. some on both sides hoped this would be the final round of face—to—face talks, capped with a deal. there was certainly no shortage of smiles, as they greeted each other, in washington, dc. and as he prepared to sit down, china's chief negotiator made it clear what he thought about the prospect of increased tariffs. translation: i came here with sincerity in these special circumstances to engage in rational and candid exchanges with the us side.

of course, china believes raising tariffs in the current situation is not a solution to the problem. it will be harmful to china, the united states and to the whole world. instead, that's exactly what has happened. this is a trade war has escalated. $200 billion worth of trade from china to the us will now face the increased tax. i don't think anyone really wins from a trade war. i think most of us lose, because trade wars tend to have tariffs, which adds taxes to the things that we buy as coi'isuitiei’s. so they tend to be quite economically damaging. the tariff target list includes wi—fi routers, some furniture and car parts. i went to a factory in the south of china last month where they make wi—fi routers, millions of them. the firm, tp—link, is looking to expand outside of china. that's partly to escape the new tariffs that will now make its products even more expensive in the us. new tariffs that are necessary, because china changed its mind apparently.

we were getting very close to a deal and then they started to renegotiate the deal. we can't have that. so, our country can take in $130 billion a year in tariffs, paid for mostly by china, by the way, not by us. a lot of people try and steer it in a different direction. it's really paid, ultimately, it's paid for by, largely, by china. in recent months, china has moved further to open up parts of its economy to foreign investors. it's also announced plans for better protection for intellectual property. but it's how you make sure that these changes actually happen and who is the final arbiter of that on which both sides still seem to be struggling to agree. china will now retaliate. within minutes of the tariff hike, its ministry of commerce said it deeply regrets that it will have to take necessary countermeasures. we don't know what they will be, yet. but in the past, measures to put pressure on foreign firms operating here have been used as well as the tax increase. robin brant, bbc news, shanghai.

chris buckler is in washington. some pretty typically forthright comments from president trump on this on twitter? yes, washington was talking about the potential of a deal this week. it is clear that has not happened. the treasury secretary stephen newton said, after the chinese delegation left after a couple of hours this morning, the talks were constructive but they we re talks were constructive but they were done for the day. of course, the tariffs were already in place. it seems president trump is happy with that, because he has had a series of tweets in which he said talks with china continue in a congenial manner. there is no need to rush. tariffs are now being paid to rush. tariffs are now being paid to the united states by china of 25% on $250 billion worth of goods and products. these massive payments go directly to the treasury of the us.

if we bought $15 billion of agriculture from farmers, more than china does now, we would have more than $85 billion left over for new infrastructure, health care or anything else. china would greatly slow down and we would automatically speed up. that is a message sent directly to his base. some states have been badly affected by the ta riffs have been badly affected by the tariffs china were putting on buy response. also, it is a message that if you don't want to be affected by tariffs, you should be producing here. he has threatened more tariffs on $250 billion of more chinese exports. that would be some products that apple uses in the united states. companies are concerned encase this becomes a real trade

war. chris buckler, thank you very much. tributes have been paid to the comedian, freddie starr, who has died at the age of 76. according to reports in today's sun newspaper, the merseyside—born comic, impressionist and singer was found dead at his home on the costa del sol in spain. he made his name as a hugely popular entertainer in the 1970s and 80s, as keith doyle reports. known for his manic energy and edgy, outrageous stunts and close to the knuckle humour, freddie starr was one of the biggest names in british light entertainment in the 1970s and 80s. born in liverpool, he was an actor, a singer, a comedian and an impressionist. he was discovered on 0pportunity knocks, the biggest tv talent show of the time, and hit the big time when he appeared on the royal variety show in 1970. ladies and gentlemen, mickjagger and the rolling stones.

laughter. applause. after that, his career took off. he's the king of all time! he said his horse winning the grand national in 1994 was one of his proudest moments. at the height of his fame the comedian inspired one of the most infamous headlines in newspaper history when the sun newspaper splashed "freddie starr ate my hamster". he denied it, but it stayed with him. "freddie starr ate my hamster!" how would you like that for 20 years? 20 years! doesn't it give you a headache? does it? yes. well... i was absolutely shocked. i knew freddie very well. i was actually shocked. very sad, really. he was a great talent. very shocked.

his genius was his physical comedy. he could fall over and you thought how did he manage to do that without hurting himself? he was like a clown. but the charisma that man had on stage... his private life was complicated. married four times, he had six children. he had health problems and in 2010 he had a major heart attack. soon after, his health forced him to pull out of the tv show i'm a celebrity get me out of here. he was caught up in the police investigation into historical sexual abuse cases, but was never charged. he lost a subsequent libel claim, which left him with large legal bills. depressed and isolated, he moved to spain, where he spent the last few years of his life. a message on his facebook page said to be from his manager said, "rip to our greatest comedian of all time." the headlines on bbc news:

the uk economy gets a boost from stockpiling ahead of brexit with gdp figures showing a rise of 0.5% in the first quarter. jail for two lazy detectives who were having an affair and couldn't be bothered to investigate allegations of child abuse. donald trump says he's in "no rush" to finalise a trade deal with china, as the united states escalates its trade war. and in sport, it's now 48 hours until the premier league title is decided. manchester city's manager pep guardiola, says he's delighted to be in the mix going the weekend. severe problems for fans trying to get tickets for both the champions league and the europa league final is, as the allocations are revealed. and mercedes dominated in the second practice session ahead of the spanish grand prix as championship leader valtteri bottas went quicker than team—mate lewis hamilton. i will be back with more on those

stories just after half past. the home secretary sajid javid has delivered a fresh warning to tory brexiteers that they could lose brexit altogether unless they back theresa may's deal. mrjavid told nick robinson's political thinking podcast that it would be an absolute disaster if pro—remain mps were able to combine to stop the article 50 withdrawal process. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is at westminster. tell us more about what he has been saying. some of the pressure we have seenin saying. some of the pressure we have seen in the last few weeks over a brexit deal has gone because the can has been kicked down the road potentially into 0ctober. and said much of the focus has been on theresa may's future, not necessarily that of her brexit deal. but sajid javid is raising concerns that if it continues, if the can is

kicked down the road until october, we might get to a stage where mps who don't want to leave it with no deal, end up in a position where they think they can force the government's hand and basically say to ministers, you haven't figured anything out with europe, so we want to rethink the whole process and potentially revoke article 50, stop brexit completely. let's listen to what he had to say. what worries me the most is that if we get to october, the end of october then there are people in parliament that, if they think that they need to to try and stop no deal, that they might even try to revoke and that is what worries me the most, we could lose brexit altogether. revoke article 50, no brexit? yes, it would bea article 50, no brexit? yes, it would be a disaster. absolutely, we need to meet the commitment for the referendum, which was very clear, to leave. the way to do that is through

the prime minister's deal. there are some mps who would revoke article 50 if we get to a position where there is no brexit deal. farfrom clear whether that is anywhere near a majority yet. it is also worth bearing in mind that the prime minister made similar warnings about this before, that those who want to stop brexit could end up taking control of the process if a brexit deal didn't get through. when she made those warnings, they weren't enough to persuade the conservatives on her own side who don't like her deal, or the dup. there is still a lot of work to do if those warnings are to get through and to eventually get something resembling the prime minister's deal through parliament. thank you very much. for the first time in european football history, english teams have all four places in the finals of the continent's two major club competitions. liverpool are already facing spurs in the champions league final

in madrid, and now it's chelsea and arsenal in the europa league final in baku, in azerbaijan. fans of all the clubs are face a desperate search for tickets and expensive flights as andy swiss reports. it was the perfect ending to english football's glorious week. commentator: it's chelsea in the europa league final. it took them a penalty shoot out to get there, but as stamford bridge erupted in celebration, fair to say chelsea fans didn't mind. a suitably dramatic finale to what has been an astonishing few days. because also through to the europa league final are arsenal... how about that? yes, it'll be another all english showdown. it's the first time one country has supplied all the finalists in europe's two major competitions. at the moment it seems england's best are just impossible to beat. here, the level is very high.

at this moment, the premier league is the best championship in europe and consequently in the world, i think. and the result is a full house of finalists. as well as chelsea against arsenal, in the champions league of course, it's tottenham against liverpool. for a liverpool manager who's been openly opposed to brexit, this european dominance is tinged with irony. i don't think it will happen a lot of times to be honest. this year, it's nice. for england obviously, at least the big clubs in england want to stay with all they have in europe. you didn't understand that now. because the rest of the country doesn't want that. getting a ticket though may be no laughing matter. at the champions league final in madrid, the stadium holds nearly 68,000. but liverpool and tottenham are getting just 16,000 tickets each.

while for the europa league final in baku, despite a slightly bigger stadium, chelsea and arsenal are getting just 6000 each. that's on top of a 2500 mile journey involving around ten hours of flying. the arsenal supporters' trust, whose fans are facing this marathon journey to azerbaijan have described uefa's treatment as disgraceful and some believe the location of finals needs more flexibility. i think what they should do is probably a look at the logistics and see who's going to the final and perhaps, in situations like this, may be rearrange the game. and so after a week of english clubs gloriously getting into finals, actually getting to watch those finals may be a whole new challenge. andy swiss, bbc news. let's look back at an historic week for english football. with the former scotland and chelsea winger, pat nevin.

good to have you with us. at the start of the season would you have predicted your old club chelsea, plus three other english clubs would be in the two finals? i certainly wouldn't have put chelsea in there. they are getting to this final and it is incredible. but for english clu bs it is incredible. but for english clubs getting there, is a surprise but not a shock. english football should have been doing this for a little while because look at the finances. the finances are exceptional. they have had everything in place, stadiums, the finance and the great league. they we re finance and the great league. they were missing may be one thing and that was the best coaches in the world. they have got that now. because they have got that they have the entire package. barcelona and real madrid are on the wane at the moment and that has left a gap and all the english clubs have rushed in

to fill that gap. what is interesting for me, if it wasn't those for one of the team that should be there, it should be manchester city. was there also something about the spurs and the liverpool comeback that said something about the mentality perhaps of english clubs or is that specific may be to those two teams? somebody would look at that and say the talent of the english clubs, not many english players play in some of those teams. but it is more than that, it is the physicality of the english league. the english league and the premier league has been the most physicalfor and the premier league has been the most physical for many years but they didn't have the technical ability all the time to match that. now they have physicality, they have the technicality and they can threaten any club that comes up them. they have the belief as well. they have fed off each other to some

degree. the spurs, they have been stronger this season, if they had harry kane they would be better. you could say the same about arsenal and about chelsea as well. the only team of them all who look strong now as they did at the start of the season is liverpool. that is why i put them out of the four teams to come home with a trophy. i am a liverpool fan so that is good news to me. what about the way the fans are being treated in this, the ticket allocations seem very small especially in baku for arsenal and chelsea. it seems tiny but not a shock whatsoever. i can remember at one specific occasion, uefa, fifa, it doesn't make any difference. world cup 1998, scotland are brazil. what a fabulous set of fans to put

together and it was going to be a celebration. it was awful because there was only about 2000 fans from each country there in paris. the rest was all hangers on, as we would call them. it is a disgrace and shame we don't get more getting to see their team on this great moment. the other question is, english teams having to travel all the way to baku. when manchester united and arsenal went all the way to moscow, it was a shambles and a mess. hopefully uefa will look into this now. and those two clubs from the same country, if it isn't in that country, make sure it is somewhere nearby, somewhere you can get it. pat nevin, great to have you with us.

let's get the weather now. we have had thunderstorms lurking. as far as the weekend is concerned it will turn drier and a little bit warmer as well. i want to emphasise the word dry because there will be some showers around on saturday. on the early hours of saturday, you can see across some parts of eastern britain. as we head into saturday morning, a chilly start with some sunshine for many of us. again, showers are expected anywhere from say the north—east of england into eastern parts. down into lincolnshire and the south—east. many western area should have a fine day. cardiff and newcastle should get to 1a. on sunday will be dry across the uk. there won't be any

showers. temperatures will be higher and the chance for those temperatures to rise will continue into the week ahead.

when we were seven points against this liverpool, to be in this position we are in now, that is why it is a dream come true, and we have shown many many things. now it is not the time to say how could we have done, because we have the chance to be champion if we win our game, and that we have to do. about that, it would make it back to back and we want to be and if it happens, it will be nice. staying with football, in the last hour, fulham has announced that scott parker has been made the club's full—time manager. parker stepped in as caretaker following the sacking of claudio ranieri in february. announcing the news on the club website, fulham chairman shahid khan says parker "was brave to accept a very difficult challenge". he added that under parker's management fulham has "undeniably become a better football club." after he took over fulham produced their only three—match winning streak of the season, but failed to avoid relegation

to the championship next season. i'm fully aware i've been associated with this club for some time now as a player, for four years and now back here as a coach. i know how things work and i know the daily dynamics of the team and the daily dynamics of the whole football club and i know where improvements need to be made and where we can improve and move this club forward, so that will help me and put me on the front foot. wales coach warren gatland has agreed a deal to take charge of the british and irish lions on their tour of south africa in 2021. he's already overseen a winning tour of australia in 2013 and a drawn series against the all blacks two years ago, as well as three grand slams, including this year's six nations title. he's stepping down as wales coach after the rugby world cup in japan this autumn. mercedes dominated in the second

practice at the spanish grand prix as valterri bottas led lewis hamilton. bottas currently leads the championship by one point after four races. lewis hamilton finished a position behind him, improving his time on his second lap. and it was ferarri's charles leclerc in third, ahead of sebastian vettel. the third practice starts tomorrow morning. olympic sailing champion giles scott says the decision to remove the finn class after next year's games will effectively end his olympic career. it's part of a major shake—up by world sailing, who are seeking to improve gender equality and boost the sport's youth appeal. scott says he understands things need to change but it's a blow that the event — typically sailed by taller and heavier male athletes — is disappearing. it's a great shame for the class. it is something i hold quite close. in terms of other boats i would be able

to sail, it is pretty limited. the most difficult thing is really not for someone like myself but for the younger guys coming through. it is fairto younger guys coming through. it is fair to say that potentially the way it is unfolding has been a bit of a bitter pill to swallow for some. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. including the latest from the one cup play—offs. that's bbc.co.uk/sport a full round—up in sport state at 6:30pm. thank you very much indeed. online sports betting in africa is worth billions of pounds every year. the boom is being fed by faster internet, cheaper phones and an obsession with the english premier league — at its peak this weekend as the season comes to its nail biting close. but there is a fear that

children are being sucked into a cycle of betting, debt and poverty. in kenya one government minister calls it "a curse on youth". our correspondent angus crawford has this report. it's a match day in the kenyan premier league and, look, there's harry kane advertising a sports betting company. local team afc leopards is sponsored by a betting company too. in fact, the whole league is. it's big business here. especially betting on the english premier league. and it is notjust adults but increasingly children too. meet francis, he's only 15 and he bets every day. when you start betting you don't feel like you can stop it. he and his friends dream of getting rich. some have even used their school fees. when they lose that they don't have school fees. so they can't go to school? yes. and adverts for betting are everywhere. whether you're playing or watching,

there is something for everyone. nothing wrong with that but it seems age restrictions just aren't working here. this is today's newspaper. it's quite clear the government here think that the entire industry is actually a curse on kenyan youth. english football and the big betting firms are fuelling a gambling boom in africa. they are profit making. they are making money. probably 30% is from children. jennifer is a child psychologist who sees vulnerable children pushed deeper into poverty. they are being swallowed by this animal that came in and people didn't realise it was an animal. it's notjust kenyan companies using the english premier league to promote their brands. we also found british betting companies trying to grab a slice of the african market and children are gambling with them too. on the other side of africa, almost 3000 miles away, the capital of the ivory coast,

here we meet eric. 15 when he started betting, using adults to place his bets on the british site bet365. even the internet cafe is named after the company and there are plenty of children here too. it is a picture repeated across the city. children openly betting. and when we travelled to the ivory coast we found the most popular site was bet365. you've just got to take the money and run. it is one of the biggest betting companies in the world. chief executive denise coates reported to be worth at least £5 billion. bet365 says all accounts have to pass full age verification

and mustn't be used to benefit a third party. it insists if an account holder places bets for a child, a betting boom but with children too often the losers, an uglier side to the beautiful game. angus crawford, bbc news, nairobi. now why would you buy shares in a ten—year old company which has yet to make a profit? that's one question potential investors are likely to be mulling over as uber floats on the new york stock exchange. our north america techonology correspondentjoins us from san francisco. that is the question. why would anyone want to invest in uber? they have never made a profit. the hope

is that uber will eventually make a profit if they continue to grow and perhaps turn around its balance books. it is losing an awful lot of money at the moment, around $1 billion in the first three months of this year. but investors potentially see a future in it. shares in uber have become trading —— begun trading but they have already dipped. even that price of $115 is well below what some analysts have predicted. the value of uber is now hovering around the $80 billion mark. still a staggering amount but people were talking about $120 billion not so long ago. so this has been a muted debut for uber and a sign of the caution as to what you mention. how is uber going to turn around its business from one that is losing an awful lot of money to one that pulls ina awful lot of money to one that pulls in a profit for all of these new

shareholders? are there some investors who might think that you could have said the same one time about facebook or amazon and they went on to be incredibly successful businesses and that may be the same? potentially but there is a big difference. the difference is that when it came to facebook‘s debut there was a path to profitability. they had something of a surer plan about how they were going to make money. if you look at amazon, we know their retail business wasn't making money when they went public but they diversified and did different things, they did cloud computing and all different businesses that they now run. that is where their profit came from. uber is trying to diversify with food delivery, a bike rental service, a small business like that but nothing like the things they needin but nothing like the things they need in order to turn around the loss of their main business of ridesharing. that could be the

crucial difference here that has investors worried. we haven't seen the shares pop with uber as they did for facebook on day one and that might be why. the headlines on bbc news... uk economy gets a boost from stockpiling ahead of brexit — with gdp figures showing a rise of 0.5% in the first quarter jail for two detectives described in court as lazy who were having an affair and failed to investigate allegations of child abuse. donald trump says he's in "no rush" to finalise a trade deal with china, as the united states escalates its trade war. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq. now on bbc news a look ahead

to sportsday at 6:30 tonight... coming up, sports day at 6:30pm where we will be asking if football could get any more dramatic this weekend as both leaders manchester city and second placed liverpool fight for the premier league crown on the —— last day of the season. there is play—offs to look forward to as well in the final of the challenge cup. saracens against leinster. that is all in sports day at 6:30pm. but now it is time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have got this week? something for everyone, hopefully.

we have the hustle which is a new take on a familiar story. we have pikachu detective. i know you are a huge fan. high life, a science fiction film directed by claire denis. that was very telling. i don't think you're a huge fan of the hustle! did you see dirty rotten scoundrels? yeah. funny, not really? that was already a remake. now we get another version of the same story in which we have a genderflip. so now we have rebel wilson who is a low level scam artist who meets anne hathaway's much more upmarket con woman on a train. they are both headed to a similar destination. their paths cross. they are forced against their will to work together through a strange mixture of coincidence and blackmail and what they will end up doing is working together but also against each other in a competition. here is a clip. i work alone. i get it.
