the game's only scorer — emma mitchell — seemed surprised with her brilliant strike at borehamwood. mercedes continue to dominate formula one this season, with another first and second. in qualifying for tomorrow's spanish grand prix, valtteri bottas sealed a hat—trick of pole positions ahead of his team—mate lewis hamilton. bottas has a one—point lead over hamilton in the drivers' championship. that's the sport from me. before we go, a woman in nottinghamshire had a bit of shock today, when she opened a loaf of bread to find the bag was full of crusts. timea ganji was hoping to make sandwiches for her children's lunch. the bakers, kingsmill, say they're investigating, and have sent mrs ganji what they describe as a "more conventional loaf". that's it. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, and i'll be back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one, time

for the news where you are.

this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at seven. the un says houthi rebels trying to topple the government in yemen, are honouring a pledge to withdraw troops from key ports in the country — the first signficant step in a ceasefire agreement. the signs from the ground are people saying it's tentatively looking good, but, let's see in the coming days whether that's fulfilled and peoples lives are saved. flying in the uk may have to be restricted because of climate change, admits the government. campaigners say a rethink is essential. a 74—year—old man — shot with a crossbow — as he adjusted his satellite dish at his home on good friday — has died. a militant attack on a five—star hotel in in the pakistani province of balochistan has ended — with all three attackers and one security guard dead. labour announces plans to introduce a 10 pounds an—hour minimum wage for all workers — including those under the age of 18.

fly—tipping in england is up by nearly 40% over the past 5 years. and councils say nobody has yet been given the maximum sentence. and saracens beat leinster 20—10 to win the european champions cup — their third title in four years — that and the rest of the day's sport — coming up in sportsday in half an hour. the united nations says houthi rebels trying to topple the government in yemen — are honouring a pledge to withdraw troops from key ports in the country. the unilateral pull out from hodeida and a number of smaller harbours, is scheduled for the next four days, and marks the first signficant step in a ceasefire agreement,

brokered by the un last december. the ports are crucial for the distribution of international aid — in a country where millions are on the verge of starvation. for four years the houthi rebels supported by iran — have been fighting the yemeni government, which is backed by a coalition of countries — led by saudi arabia. this report from our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, does contain some distressing images. a vital lifeline for a nation on the brink of famine. nearly all of yemen's aid comes through here. the houthis control this port and two others nearby. now they say they are pulling out theirfighters. if they do, it's the first step in the deal reached in stockholm in december, hailed then as a rare breakthrough. we have reached an agreement on hudaydah port and city, which will see a mutual redeployment of forces from the port and the establishment of a ceasefire.

now the deal is on the verge of collapse. so is yemen, a country facing what the un calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis. images like this have shocked the world. not enough to end a brutal war between houthis aligned to iran and yemen government forces backed by a saudi—led coalition and armed by the west. earlier this year we saw how a fragile ceasefire in hudaydah was largely holding. but both sides agreed in stockholm to withdraw their forces from this strategic corner of yemen. there is deep distrust. if this first step succeeds, it could lead to broader peace talks. if it doesn't, yemen's best chance in years could also fail.

and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are nigel nelson, who's the political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people, and the political commentator, jo phillips. concerns over climate change might restrict the growth of aviation in the uk, the government has admitted. a senior civil servant says ministers may have to review their strategy, including plans to expand heathrow. it follows a recent warning from the ‘committee on climate change', which advises the government, that the planned increase in aviation would need to be curbed — to control carbon emissions. our environment analyst, roger harrabin, reports. flying is on the up and the government has been planning for it to continue to grow. what about climate change, you might ask? under current policy, industry will have to cut more

greenhouse gases so aviation can expand. but the government is now considering a plan to virtually eliminate emissions by 2050. and a civil servant has admitted in a letter to a green group that it may have to take note of advice from the independent climate change committee, saying that although people could continue to fly while meeting climate change targets, it was not possible for aviation to keep on expanding. in the end, i think the logic of this is completely inevitable. we know that we have to reduce our emissions urgently and radically and expanding them is going in the opposite direction. itjust does not make sense and i don't think the public want to see the government committing to a plan that is inconsistent with a safe and prosperous future for all of us. any policy change may affect controversial plans to expand heathrow. it definitely means the government will have to think hard about whether aviation can continue to grow at a time of what parliament calls a climate emergency.

a 74—year—old man who was shot with a crossbow bolt — as he adjusted his satellite dish at his home in holyhead — on good friday has died. the bolt had travelled through gerald corrigan's upper body — narrowly missing his heart — and then passing through his right arm. north wales police said he died as a result of the horrendous injuries he sustained. the united states says it's ready to defend its forces and interests in the gulf, as tensions with iran escalate. the pentagon is sending an extra navy ship, and a patriot air defence missile system to the region, but said it was not seeking conflict with tehran. briony sowden reports. as america's carrier strike group moves closer to the gulf, the pentagon sends more firepower to the region in a show of military force.

a navy ship and an air defence missile system are also heading to the middle east, just days after the uss abraham lincoln and b—52 bombers were deployed. washington says it is sending a clear message to iran, because they had warnings about an unspecified attack. it released this statement but did not go into detail. the united states does not seek conflict with iran, but we are postured and ready to defend us forces and interests in the region. the us patriot missile defence system can counter ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and advanced aircraft, and had been scheduled to go to the region, but at a later date. last week, john bolton, america's national security adviser, said any iranian attack would be met with unrelenting force. iran swiftly dismissed that, and claimed american psychological warfare.

the foreign minister with this message on twitter. tehran has retaliated by threatening to cut off access to the strategic strait of hormuz, through which about one —ifth through which about one—fifth of all oil consumed globally passes. but tensions are not just at sea. this week, iran's president threatened to restart his country's nuclear activities within 60 days if his country is not shielded from the effects of sanctions. the move risks killing a landmark nuclear deal which america pulled out of a year ago. but this is what the iranians call us intimidation. one of america's powerful military assets has now passed through egypt's suez canal as it steams towards the persian gulf.

three gunmen have attacked a luxury hotel in the pakistani province of balochistan, killing at least one person. it happened at the 5—star, pearl continental hotel, in the port city of gwadar. it's being reported that members of a balochistan separatist group, may have been responsible. a spokesman for the hotel said no one was staying there, due to the holy month of ramadan. well, let's get more now on the news that the un says houthi rebels, trying to topple the government in yemen, are honouring a pledge to withdraw troops from key ports in the country. the unilateral pull—out from hodeida, and a number of smaller harbours, is scheduled for the next four days. we can speak now to lise grande, who is the un humanitarian co—ordinator in yemen. she joins us live from the capital, sana'a. thank you for speaking to us on bbc

news. clearly a significant step in the crisis. just how badly needed was this? it is the main lifeline for all of the northern area, they depend on the port for the food, medicines and fuel that they need in order to survive. and right now, 80% of the entire population have some form of humanitarian assistance or protection in the majority of that comes through the port. that is the redeployment is still important stop by the blood challenges will be phased in terms of getting eight to the people who needed we are hoping as soon as the redeployment occurs, the un will provide support to the existing management of the port to help them

to connect its and efficiency. vital supplies while going to the port faster and helping the millions of people across the country who need that assistance in order to survive. yemen or areas around were not entirely without food, there are grain stores where access has been cut off with that 110w access has been cut off with that now be made accessible? it is a very large area and for months and months, the united nations was unable to months, the united nations was u na ble to access months, the united nations was unable to access to it and 50,000 metric tonnes of grain and those silos, that is enough to feed 3 million people for months. and even before the region started, the consulate allowed the un and the staff of the red sea to enter that facility for the first time, already

we are getting those stocks, trying to determine whether or not some of them have been spoiled. as soon as thatis them have been spoiled. as soon as that is done, we will get that onto trucks and out to people all across yemen, but we are rushing against time to do the. clearly this is a huge step, a game changer is how it has been described. but that is not the entire picture for the country, is it? the economy is completely shattered but there have been pledges made to kick—start it. what sort of assurances have you received from the prime minister? the humanitarian crisis is the worst in the world, most of the population needs help in the un's largest humanitarian operation is under way here right now, it is also one of the most expensive. this year, the humanitarian partnership has asked for more than $4 billion, a number of countries step forward pretty

generously at an international conference in february and said that they would help. many countries have stepped forward and we are grateful for that but there are so many people who need so much assistance and they needed right now. which is why we are asking all of the donors who did make the pledges to honour those and to bring forward that money. we need to spend it as quickly as possible. if we do not, we know that people will die. concerning the cease—fire agreement, but would you like to see happen next? that cease-fire, against all of the arts is held and that has changed everything because it has held. 0bviously for the humanitarians, because this terrible conflict comes to an end that fighting stops and the people of yemen helped to reestablish their communities and get all of their lives. those of the important priorities right now they think all

of us hope that through the redeployment that we are seeing right now, it marks the beginning of the end of this war. the headlines on bbc news... aid workers say a pledge by houthi rebels in yemen to withdraw troops from key ports is a "big game changer", as it may open a lifeline for millions of people facing famine. concerns over climate change might restrict the growth of flying in the uk —— according to a senior civil servant. a 74—year—old man — shot with a crossbow — as he adjusted his satellite dish at his home on good friday — has died. labour has announced plans to introduce a ten pounds an—hour minimum wage for all workers, including those under the age of 18. at present 16 and 17—year—olds get less than adults, with the labour leader,

jeremy crobyn, saying society shouldn't be "discriminating against young people." but some business leaders warn — there's a risk employers may decide not to employ as many younger workers in order to cut costs. here's our business correspondent, katy austin. baristas, staff and fast food workers are among those most likely to be on the lowest pay. in 16 and 17—year—olds can be paid less than their older colleagues. today, jeremy corbyn says he would change that. we will abolish the youth rate of the minimum wage, workers should be rewarded for their work and not their age. equal rights for workers meansjust their age. equal rights for workers means just that. irrespective of age, gender, nationality or ethnicity. that would be a big change for some small businesses like this cafe in north london. working under the age of 18 they are

entitled to a minimum wage just over half the amount of over 25, labour has a plan for what it calls a £10 per hour wage and now said that they will extend to 16 and 17—year—olds, adding that two and a half thousand pounds to what they earn on average every year. they fear it may not be practical. it's nice, buti every year. they fear it may not be practical. it's nice, but i don't know of many businesses will survive adding the £10 an hour, some are not experienced enough to have that and i know they'll be enthusiastic but they may not have the skills or experience. small businesses say they are already facing mounting cost pressures when he details in order to support them through a pay rise. questions have been asked about the kind of impact it will have on the young. 16 and 17—year—olds, most of them are being

supported in one way or another. so do they need £10 an hour? mostly not, some of them will benefit from it, others would lose if they could not get the job in the first place due to the amount. under the government, we youthful employment fall, and the economy continues to grow, giving young people the security of a better future. at the moment, the independent low pay commission advises the government on minimum wage levels, jeremy corbyn his proposal to shake the bottom rate of pay, is squarely at the young. two men have appeared in court, charged with rioting offences in londonderry, on the night thatjournalist, 51 year—old paul mcintyre is accused of petrol bomb offences, arson of a hijacked vehicle, and rioting. christopher gillen, who's 38, faces the same charges — plus another, of hijacking a truck.

ms mckee was shot dead while watching disturbances in londonderry last month. 0ur reporter, louise cullen, is in belfast and sent this update. two men appeared in court in londonderry magistrates' court. they were 51—year—old paul mcintyre from ballymagowan park in the creggan area of londonderry. and 38—year—old christopher gillen, who is from balbane pass in the city. both men are charged with riot and petrol bomb offences. paul mcintyre is also charged with arson of a hijacked vehicle, while christopher gillen is also charged with the arson and hijacking of a tipper truck. both men refused to stand and acknowledge the court when they were brought into the dock. a detective said that the evidence against the men had come from mobile phone footage handed in by members of the public and also from footage seized from a documentary being filmed by mtv on thursday april 18th in derry, which included filming in the offices of the dissident republican linked group

saoradh in derry and also rioting in creggan during which lyra mckee was shot. he also said he believed the two men were ringleaders. both men were denied bail when thejudge said he didn't believe there was a safe address in the city, at any stage, for them to be remanded to and they were both remanded in custody. south africa has announced the result of this week's elections, with the country's anc party holding on to power. the victory means current president cyril ramaphosa will have another five years in office — although the party did lose seats, securing a smaller majority after crticism they have failed to address corruption, unemployment and racial inequality since they took power at the end of apartheid — 25 years ago. french president emmauel macron has welcomed home two hostages freed by french special forces in burkina faso on friday. the french tourists were being held by kidnappers in the west african country alongside an american woman

and a south korean man. the hostages were seized from a remote national park in neighbouring benin last week. two french soldiers were killed in the operation to free them and president macron has since paid tribute to their sacrifice. masses have been taking place in catholic churches across sri lanka — in memory of the victims of the easter sunday bombings. more than 250 people were killed, in a series of attacks on christian churches and hotels. sunita jaswal reports. a moment of silence, a time to reflect a nd a moment of silence, a time to reflect and an opportunity to pray for the victims. a country torn apart but a country that wants to heal through religion. survivors gathered for a ceremony to remember their loved ones as churches we opened their doors. it is notjust

the time to remember those who died, but to pray for those who also survived. still hurt but there in church with their faith intact. it is been almost three weeks to the day that an armed group launched coordinated attacks on christian churches and hotels in the country stopped security was ramped up in the immediate aftermath, but fears of further attacks because many schools and churches to close. early in the week, the archbishop presided over the first mass at saint sebastian's church, where 102 over the first mass at saint sebastian's church, where102 people we re sebastian's church, where102 people were killed, held outside of the structure, the special service honoured the victims and was only open to survivors and their families. this small shrine room has reopened, also a target of one of the most religious days of the

christian calendar. low whispers and prayers of devotees are drowned out by the sound of drilling and banging as workers continue to rebuild the site. i am very happy that we are able to come and pray and light a candle like i did, rather than stay at home and fear. and that is the message authorities are also sending out, promises that the streets of sri lanka are safe. we don't have to worry about, it is controllable, it is content, view do not have to worry about it. let them handle it and they should have their normal lives. guarding religious institutions may be the norm for a while, but that added security at least gives churchgoers safety to pray. but that is settling slowly

once more, sri lanka says they will make sure the victims will never be forgotten. fly—tipping has increased by almost 40% in the past five years — according to councils in england. the local government association said —— nobody convicted of fly—tipping since 2014 had been given the maximum penalty — of a 50—thousand pound fine — or a year in prison — because of funding pressures. the goverment says they've strengthened local authorities' enforcement powers. i've been speaking to guy smith, deputy president of the national farmers union — he explained to my colleague martine croxall the extent of the problem fly tipping is on his land. the farmers and approaching a million cases, this is not the whole picture because many farmers like me, wejust don't picture because many farmers like me, we just don't bother to picture because many farmers like me, wejust don't bother to report it any more. we just get on and clear it up. but we are fed up with

reporting it and nothing happened, soa reporting it and nothing happened, so a lot of things have been unreported. look, for a farmer, this is close to if not a daily occurrence or weekly occurrence. sofas, fridges, just household waste and for some farmers, i know, 25 tonne of recycling waste. for five dates, tiptop and then that is two 20 to it has gotten so much worse? is commercially attractive to clear someone's garden and take the rubbish out of the garage and then dump it into a farmers field into a ditch and then acknowledge that the risk of being detected is low and if it does come to court, the fines are going to be low, so it is commercially attractive. what sort of damage can you do to your land?

farmers take immense pride in the beauty of their farms and to see it use as a rubbish den is depressing, frustrating and it makes farmers angry. we take pride in the beauty of our farms and to see them abused like this, it is depressing stop by the powers exist to bring people to court, so what is the solution? the response is clear that it is not working. so the government do need to speak to local authorities and police to find out how we can get this to work. how we have effective deterrence. and plead to the viewers that if we are knocking on your door saying that they'll take your household waste, make sure they are a reputable company, make sure they have a landline, and waste disposal carrier licence and if they are offering you a cheap deal, ask why. we implore our local authorities not

to be restrictive or to close the community tips because that this makes it difficult to get rid of household waste, but if supports not worth supposed to be, we implore the government that they have reacted in a way that is not working in the need to have an agreement between the local authorities to lock down this increasing problem. how do you go this increasing problem. how do you 9° by this increasing problem. how do you go by disposing of these pieces of furniture? these fridges that we have seen pictures of? because it is ata have seen pictures of? because it is at a cost to you. yes, it's become a problem. they have dump the problem on me and i have to, it's a real dilemma for me i am notjust going to leave it there because i have to get rid of them and i had to dig into my am pocket and some councils are more helpful and i'll accept

that, but for me this is just cost. a huge waterspout surprised singapore residents this morning. videos were posted on social media showing the waterspout swirling in the southern shore of the island. witnesses say it was seen for around 20 minutes. the local environment agency says there are generally three waterspout occu rances each year. a waterspout is a rapidly rotating column of air over water, underneath the base of a shower cloud. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. not sure it was weather for ice cream today, but it will be tomorrow because the weather is improving. showers around early on today, the picture over the past three hours and that is some thunderstorms earlier in yorkshire and across sussex, the odd shower getting across wales and northern ireland

but fading away and as the sun
