the jet stream is at a week. the jet stream is at a crossroads. the blocking pattern tends to release a little bit, the jet stream reorienting across the atla ntic jet stream reorienting across the atlantic with low pressure may be moving from the near continent. lots of fs and maybes. it is not that predictable just yet. stay tuned for more detail.

for some this is the ultimate protest vote opportunity. for the party, these will be the most closely watched european elections yet. also tonight. three people escape from the wreckage of an aircraft that crashed into a busy road. the boy who arrived in thinking he was an orphan, and now has new hope of finding his family. manchester city retains the premier league crown, beating liverpool to the title by a single point. the tale of an assassin and her pursuers is named best drama series at the tv awards.

a cabinet minister said the upcoming election to the european parliament will be difficult for the conservatives and that some will see it as an opportunity for the ultimate protest vote. they said the election will be treated by some voters is the second referendum or brexit as to opinion polls suggests that the party is ahead by a significant margin its leader says that he will use the successful result to demand its inclusion in the eu negotiations our political correspondence.

these are going to be difficult elections for us, that much has been clear from the very start. for some people this is the ultimate protest vote opportunity. actually turnouts tend to be quite low in european elections and people do use it as something of a free vote and i think that will be even more true this time. ironically this is, in a sense, for some people, the second referendum. and two opinion polls out today suggest nigel farage's new brexit party could do well. he's back in the spotlight, and in a tetchy interview said he's confident of inflicting damage on his old political enemies. we voted to leave, we didn't vote for a deal, we voted to leave once in the referendum. the year after that both the labour and the conservative parties promised in their manifestos they would honour the result of the referendum and here we are almost three years on, brexit has not been delivered and, frankly, given this government

and this parliament there is no prospect of these parties delivering a clean break brexit. brexit talks between the government and labour have been plodding on for weeks and there will be more tomorrow. the opposition say the prime minister is refusing to compromise and that's what's leading to a surge in support for mr farage. people in this country are angry. they're angry that the referendum result has not been delivered on by an incompetent government, and there's a protest which is being signalled by those figures, 34% saying they would go for brexit. there's no policies on this party, just one — it's that they want to leave the european union without a deal. labour has got problems of its own — some members want the party to be clearer about backing a second referendum, like the greens, the snp, plaid cymru and the liberal democrats. if you can attach a people's vote to the brexit deal then we will be able to get that through the houses of parliament because there is enough support for making sure that a deal goes back to the people.

that is the obvious way out of this mess. conservatives are trying to play down the significance of these european elections, still clinging to the hope that meps elected later this month might never take their seats, but that depends on the government being able to break the deadlock here at westminster and finally deliver brexit. if they can't, tory mps fear the party will continue to be punished by voters. theresa may found time for a kickabout this weekend, but if support for the conservatives slumps badly, it could be her mps putting the boot in, in two weeks' time. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. and vicki is here with me. the conservatives clearly concerned about the effect brexit may have on them, electorally — what hopes do they have of a breakthrough with labour in talks this week? well, the conservatives are desperate to show that they are making progress, that they have some kind of plan to deliver brexit before those eu elections. so, the talks will resume again tomorrow, focused on the same areas, a customs

arrangement, environmental protections, employment rights and one government insider said, we would not be putting so much time and effort into all of this if we thought they were going nowhere. having said that there are problems for both sides because a permanent customs union, which labour wants, would split the conservatives and probably lead to more cabinet resignations. on the other side, for labour, so keir starmer, their brexit spokesman, giving his first interview in a while, in the guardian newspaper, says he now thinks up to 150 labour mps would not back a deal with the tories u nless not back a deal with the tories unless it included the option of another referendum. so, problems for both sides with those talks. later in the week, theresa may's leadership will be back in the spotlight and she is due to meet senior conservative backbenchers who wa nt senior conservative backbenchers who want her to put a firm date on when she is going to leave, something she has been very reluctant to do. but i think the moment of maximum danger, two weeks tonight, eu results will be starting to come in and i can tell you conservative mps are very,

very nervous about that. about three people travelling on a light aircraft had a lucky escape today a lucky escape today after it crashed on a dual carriageway between raglan and abergavenny in south wales. eyewitnesses saw it burst into flames shortly after those on board were pulled from the wreckage. david grundy reports. flames pour out of the light aircraft that crashed on this dual carriageway. three people were on board when it came down, hitting power lines and setting alight on the aao near abergavenny. miraculously, all of them survived. the person filming this then helped to rescue three people from the wreckage of the plane. all i could see was a plane in flames, so we ran over straightaway, to see if there was any casualties, obviously. so, sort of instinct made me do that, i don't know why, but you've got to make sure people are safe. and yeah, i saw two people, they were clearly awake and so, you know, we did what we did to try and get them out. motorists pulled three

people from the wreckage, who were then treated by paramedics at the scene. all are said to be in hospital but with only minor injuries. in total, 19 firefighters attended here at the scene, using foam to extinguish the flames. a number of roads were closed for some of the afternoon and this evening, and as you can see, the main dual carriageway has now reopened as the investigation into what happened here gets under way. it's the second time in three years in which a light aircraft crashed on this same stretch of road. as those investigations proceed, there is a sense of relief that those caught up in the crash here today were not more seriously injured. david grundy, bbc news, abergavenny. the premier league season finished today. match of the day follows this programme and will have all the action so if you want to wait till then to find out what happened, you might want to turn away at this point. the title was manchester city's again after a 4—1win at brighton. they were pushed all the way by liverpool, who ended the season a single point behind.

let'sjoin our sports editor, dan roan, outside manchester city's ground now. dan. well, city will be able to celebrate with their fans in the next few minutes because the entire squad are expected here at the etihad at a special homecoming event that has been organised, and as you can see, thousands of their supporters are looking forward to seeing them here at their home stadium. you know, they were given albeit briefly something of a scare on the south coast today. but at the end of a week in which there has been some remarkable footballing drama in european club competition, ultimately, manchester city made sure there would be no lastgasp drama, and liverpool simply could not change the fact. champions again, after a title race like no other. they had been pushed all the way back manchester city's domination of the english game continues, after a dramatic last day

ofan continues, after a dramatic last day of an unforgettable season. earlier on the league leaders had arrived at brighton knowing a 14th straight league win would see them become the first team to retain the title for a decade. if they failed, up at anfield, relentless rivals liverpool could snatch glory. to have any chance, they needed to beat wolves and hope brighton did them a favour. nerves? try telling that to sadio mane. sadio mane has put liverpool in front! at this stage liverpool we re in front! at this stage liverpool were on course to be champions. the pressure was on city, especially when they went behind. this is a big twist in this premier league title race. brighton's glenn murray stunned the visitors. hope of a first league title in 29 years filled anfield as news filtered through. almost 300 miles south, the balance was about to shift decisively back towards city. rather than panic, sergio aguero immediately equalised. and then

emerick laporte gave his side the lead. and manchester city have turned it around! stunned into action and back in control. they made sure after the restart, riyad mahrez‘s spectacular strike, a goal befitting the champions. that might have clinched the title for manchester city! it meant the 10,000 city fans watching on outside the etihad back in manchester. you'll ta ra ntulas etihad back in manchester. you'll tarantulas in spectacular freekick wrapped up the season in style. by now, up at anfield, all hope had gone. sadio mane got a second about their wait for a first premier league title goes on, their brave pursuit finally over. city, meanwhile, able to celebrate behan champions for a fourth time in eight seasons, this arguably the best team of the premier league era. we are incredibly satisfied with what we have done, winning1li incredibly satisfied with what we have done, winning 1a games in a row to retain the title, and something which has happened just once in the last ten years, because it is so

difficult. never take it for granted. you've just got to enjoy it while it's there. i was born on the main road, i've been a city fan all my life and it isjust outstanding, i'mjust my life and it isjust outstanding, i'm just proud. we've struggled in europe but now we have gone back—to—back we've proved that we are one of the greatest teams of the premier league has ever seen. unlike last year, city have been challenged this time, but ultimately, it simply seemed to bring out the best in them. some up the day and the season for us, how great an achievement is this? well, mishal, ithink for us, how great an achievement is this? well, mishal, i think for the runners—up to get 97 points, to lose just one game, in almost any other season just one game, in almost any other seasonit just one game, in almost any other season it would be good enough to be champions for liverpool, that i think is a measure of how impressive, how strong, manchester city have been this year. of course, the trophy they would have craved perhaps more than any other, you sense, the champions league, passed them by. but they now have the opportunity for an unprecedented

domestic trouble, if they can win the fa cup, and that would be a phenomenal achievement. this has not been a season without controversy, they face multiple investigations for the vast amounts of money that they have spent, whether or not they have breached financial fair play regulations, and some will look at their abu dhabi owners and ask whether or not they are using this clu b to whether or not they are using this club to furnish the country's image but of course that is not the responsibility of these players, and in coach pep guardiola, club captain vincent kompa ny in coach pep guardiola, club captain vincent kompany and star player raheem sterling, they have people they can be proud of, role models for the club and for the sport. for liverpool, of course, of the long wait continues, there will be lots of regret as well as pride, they we re of regret as well as pride, they were seven points clear at one stage. but ultimately city were just too strong, liverpool have the not inconsiderable consolation of the champions league final to look forward to. for city, meanwhile, they have been a credit, their strength in depth, their passion, so isa

strength in depth, their passion, so is a tactics and of course their togetherness, is what has proved crucial, as a city's supremacy continues. eight children were among a group of 26 migrants who've been found in two dinghies off the kent coast. the first, carrying 1a people, was spotted by a fishing vessel in the early hours of this morning. a second with 11 men on board was met by a border force patrol boat. those on board are believed to be from iraq and iran. police in northallerton in north yorkshire are appealing for information after a 15—year—old girl collapsed in a car park and later died. it's believed she had taken mdma. detectives are warning anyone who has taken the drug recently to get medical help if they feel unwell. the tv interviewer and former labour mp brian walden has died at the age of 86. the reason they might not vote for you is they think that you have got to much conviction, that you are too dogmatic, that you will not listen

to anybody. why don't you say, all right... he was known for exacting political interviews, including with margaret thatcher in 1989, which helped speed up the then prime minister's downfall. brian walden died following complications from emphysema at his home in guernsey, on thursday. in 1992, an iraqi child called amar was brought to the uk from iraq after being severally injured in a chemical weapons attack carried out by saddam hussein. he was thought to be the sole survivor from his family, but nearly 30 years later he received a message suggesting that that might not be the case after all. this exclusive investigation is from our correspondentjon kay, with cameraman andy alcroft and producer alex littlewood. he was the little boy who lost everything in a napalm attack. that day, i physically got scarred, i lost my family — it changed my entire life. and for 30 years, amar has believed he's an orphan. there's nothing more than feeling

you belong to someone, there's nothing more important than feeling you belong to someone, and loved by someone. but could everything he knows be about to change? the british politician emma nicholson found amar close to death in a refugee camp in 1991. he's a complete orphan. he's lost everything — his life, his home, his whole family. with brutal suppression, saddam ordered his forces to crush the uprising... he was told all his relatives had been killed when the iraqi dictator bombed his own people in basra. doctors advised her to take him to london, where he underwent 27 major operations. let this commission adopt the genocide convention and save the iraqi people... amar even appeared at the united nations. after surgery, he stayed in the uk, moving to devon with the mp who'd rescued him. and that's where we found him three decades on, settled, but still haunted by the loss

of his birth family. you feel completely empty, this world has let you down. if you're completely against the world, you can't trust anyone. it's the most horrible position to be in. without family, you don't belong to anyone, you just feel almost, you know, born out of nothing, really. but could it be that in the confusion of war, a terrible mistake was made? a year ago, he received this extraordinary message, a video clip of a woman in iraq interrupting a tv broadcast appealing for her lost son. someone watching wondered if it could be the same little boy who was taken to the uk all those years ago. so, he tracked down amar on social media. i would like to think it's true, you know. i don't want to put my hopes up, and then be disappointed, really. i couldn't believe it, emma. in london, the politician who set up

a charity in his name agreed amar was right to be cautious. while saddam was still in power, there were several ladies who claimed to be your mother, and they were put forward by saddam hussein. so it was very clear they weren't. now we can do dna testing, that's quite helpful. after months of research, we tracked down the woman in the video to this house in the city of karbala. amar asked us to investigate her story. the woman, called zahra, emerged with what she said was her most treasured possession. my amar. but could it be the same amar? she told us she searched for her son in the rubble for days after a napalm attack. she showed us documents, certificates, and claimed this was her little boy before she lost him.

she speaks own language. she agreed to amar‘s request for a dna test. so, the results have come... two weeks later... that's for you. "she is your biological mother." over the moon, really happy about this. you've got a mum. i've got a mum, yeah. might even celebrate tonight, have a few drinks, a few bevvies! it's the first time we've seen him smile. so, three decades after he thought he was orphaned, amar is ready to go back and be reunited with his mother. jon kay, bbc news. and amar‘s journey back to iraq in search of his mother is on tomorrow night's panorama, at 8.30pm on bbc one. lewis hamilton is back on top

many of the biggest names from the small screen were on the red carpet for tonight's awards. tonight is intended to honour programmes that premiered first in the uk, however killing eve was shown first in america, but because of its significant british involvement, bafta decided to bend their own rules to make sure it was eligible, and it turned out to be the evening's big winner. it follows an m15 operative hunting a charismatic female assassin, and won three awards including best drama and best actress forjodie comer, who paid tribute to the show‘s creator phoebe waller—bridge. i feel so lucky that i can not only say i worked with you but i can call you a friend. you are the most talented person i know. thank you for being such an inspiration. i would really like to get away from new york if at all possible. there were two awards for drama. patrick melrose, best miniseries and best actor for benedict cumberbatch. there was double success for declan donnelly, together with partner ant,

half of those things, i didn't even know what they meant. london may be celebrated for being multicultural, but the campaigners kick it out argue the capital is one of the worst for racism at a grassroots level, in the northern town of dablo during mass, ordering women and children to leave before shooting the six men dead. there's been a series of islamist attacks on churches in burkina faso in recent years. united nations monitors say the withdrawal of houthi rebels from key ports in yemen is going according to plan. it's hoped that the pullout from hodeida will make it easier to import food aid for millions of people who are threatened by starvation. a government negotiator has acknowledged that it marks the start of a long—delayed plan to de—militarise the area the annual list of the richest people in britain is out —— and it reveals that there are now a record 151 billionaires in the country. together they hold a combined wealth of 525 billion pounds, and london is home to more

billionaires than any other city in the world. that's according to the sunday times. john mcmanus reports. if you've on the rich list, try not to be too envious, they can afford the larger shots but life is not all plain sailing, one of the most famous names fell out of favour with the establishment over the collapse of the high street chain and harassment claims which he strongly denies. it is not just his claims which he strongly denies. it is notjust his reputation that is plummeted, the time says he's lost more than £1 billion and is not merely a multimillionaire. the top dogs made their 22 billion pound fortune and energy, property and finance. our number five

fortune and energy, property and finance. our numberfive has decided to move the tyson head office to singapore, he is gone the extra £3 billion giving them a tidy sum of 12.6 billion. a new entry to the list, with £16 million and using some of that money to support two scholarships for black students at cambridge. ed shearing has doubled his net worth which now stands of the hundred £80 million. and if you do find some spare gold bars in the back of the sofa, well, the quality trust said the rich list members will support higher taxes on their wealth, to solve inequality. as expected, it was a lovely day out there today. sunnier and warmer across many parts of the country and a couple of weather watcher pictures first of all showing the sunshine and very

limited convection today. it stayed fine and dry and you can see how much the cloud bubbled up on the early satellite picture, not much at all. we had more cloud coming into northern ireland that has been thin and high cloud and some pushing into scotland overnight and thick enough in the far north of scotland to bring a few spots of rain, otherwise it will be dry and for most of us we will have clear skies. another chilly one, not as cold as last night for northern scotland because of the cloud and a touch of frost across east anglia. touch and go. as we look ahead into much of next week, it will be dry with lots of sunshine and as temperatures continue to rise. high pressure brings a change in the weather compared to last week. that high pressure will dominate over the week ahead. it's at the top of us for the start of the week and at times northern halves will be hazy from high cloud but it should not spoil the day

at all with plenty of sunshine for the south and does temperatures from any part of the country continue to rise. thanks to a southerly breeze, we might get 20 degrees for parts of northern ireland and perhaps around the moray firth. warmerfor east anglia and east yorkshire. plenty of sunshine on away on tuesday, cloud hardly bubbling up under breeze across the far south—east of england and temperatures not as high but those temperatures are rising in many other parts. it is probably on wednesday that we get the peak of the heat. sunnier skies pretty much across the board and one of a southerly breeze pushing the one of the cross into scotland we might get 23 or 2a degrees and an easterly breeze means temperatures will not be quite so high in the south—east but still very pleasant in the sunshine. for the moment, it is dry. that is a high pressure, it starts to drift northwards towards scandinavia on thursday and we open the door to more of an easterly breeze and the potential by the end

of the week perhaps to see some rain coming in but that easterly breeze is going to drop temperatures through thursday and friday.
