this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at apm: theresa may promises mps a bold new offer on brexit, to try to get her deal through parliament before she leaves office. security sources in egypt say at least 17 people have been injured, in a blast appearing to target a tourist bus. the new national rail summer timetable has come into effect today — train companies say they've learned lessons from weeks of chaos on the network last summer. # all i know # loving you is a losing game... eurovision went dutch last night with a victory for the netherlands. the uk finished last. kompany parts company with his club — the manchester city captain is off

to anderlecht as player—manager and wyre davies is in cardiff, following the lives of those living on the streets of the welsh capital. that's in half an hour here on bbc news. good afternoon. the prime minister is urging mps to look at what she calls her "new and improved" brexit offer "with fresh pairs of eyes" and to give it their support. writing in the sunday times, theresa may says the brexit withdrawal bill, the legislation needed to take britain out of the eu with a deal, will be a "bold offer". but the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says his party does not currently support the legislation as he has heard nothing which suggests it will be "fu nda mentally a ny different" to what was previously put forward. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake.

the ayes to the right, 286. the noes to the left, 344. three times her brexit deal has been rejected, but the prime minister is giving it one more go. a vote next month is her last chance to win parliament's backing. but how? writing in the sunday times, theresa may has promised... a big promise, but no detail on what the offer will be, though one cabinet minister says there is still room to find agreement with labour. we do in many ways agree. none of us want to remain in the european union, none of us want a no—deal brexit, which means logically there has to be a deal, and if there is going to be a deal,

the labour and conservative positions are about half an inch apart. butjeremy corbyn pulled the plug on talks with the government, and now sounds sceptical about labour helping the deal through before october's deadline. we haven't seen whatever the new bill is going to be yet but nothing i've heard leads me to believe it's fundamentally any different to the previous bill, so as of now we are not supporting it. labour is split on holding another public vote. that won't be part of theresa may's offer, although plenty in parliament will keep pushing for it, even if some say there may not now be time. at the beginning of these european election campaigns, we had time to provide for a people's vote on what happens on brexit, which would take at least five to six months. we now no longer have the time to do that by the 31st of october, when we are due to crash out. others fighting for remain votes in thursday's european elections say it is possible if the government allows. if the government is going to bring the withdrawal bill before

parliament, then what we have said is that if they attach a confirmatory referendum to it, we will support it. but polls suggest it's the brexit party, arguing for an eu exit as soon as possible, that is winning most support — another factor piling pressure on the prime minister to get an agreement for her deal, and quickly. jonathan blake, bbc news. earlier i asked jonathan about whether the results in this week's european elections could cause parties to rethink their positions. possibly, if the polling proves accurate then both main parties, conservatives and labour, are braced for poor results in those european elections. if the brexit party, led by nigel farage, commands the most support, then they will perhaps be worried that the prospect of a no—deal

brexit which he has argued for becomes higher up the agenda because there would perhaps be a high level of public support for it so both theresa may and jeremy corbyn are hedging their bets before the elections, theresa may not coming out with the details of whatever this bold offer turns out to be, jeremy corbyn not saying whether he will support it or not because the detail isn't there yet but the next few days will be interesting and the outcome of the election results will have an impact. we have people saying they will do something they haven't done before, vote for a different party because of the european elections, lord heseltine said he would vote lib dems, on this one occasion. andrew mckinlay, a labour member of parliament for 18 years, said he would do the same as pro—europeans but none of that might change the arithmetic at westminster. no, these are european elections

for seats in the european parliament and the government has said it never wanted to take part in these, but it gives the public a chance to tell the government what they think of what's going on and that will have an impact much more so than the number of meps from each party which may end up sitting in the european parliament, but the arithmetic at westminster stays as it is and theresa may cannot change that, so she has to offer concessions to one side or the other or maybe both, for example on the issue of a customs union which the labour party wants to see the uk in with the eu future, conceding to that will turn off as many conservative mps as it will turn on labour mps, if not more, so there are no easy options for her, she has to beg, borrow and steal ideas and to pick off bits of support from labour unofficially.

and she's clearly at the end of her premiership, these are the dying weeks of theresa may as prime minister which affects her authority, there are signs of people positioning themselves for the battle for the leadership, we have rory stewart and amber rudd relaunching this one nation caucus, they call it, john major saying the centre of the party has been vacated. there are some interesting fights to come. there is a discussion going on and there has for some time now, the conservative leadership contest has unofficially been under way for a while and barely a week goes by without a cabinet minister inviting journalists into their kitchen and talking about a range opinions that have nothing to do with their brief about a range of opinions that have nothing to do with their brief and alongside this frantic high—stakes game that theresa may is involved in trying to get brexit

through in the dying weeks and months of her premiership, there is this contest to appeal to the conservative party membership and the broader public from people who fancy their chances as leader, but what none of them want to do is pick up. the pieces of this mess before it's finished. and next week, we will be continuing our series of interviews with meps and leaders from the main parties standing in the european elections in a special ask this. you can send us your questions to put to them. on monday, we'll speak to conservative mep ashley fox and vince cable, the lib dem leader. then on tuesday we're interviewing gerard batten, the ukip leader and on wednesday it will be the turn ofjohn healey from labour and adam price, the plaid cymru leader. details of how to get in touch are on the screen. security sources in egypt say at least 17 people have been injured in a blast appearing to target a tourist bus. the attack happened near the new egyptian museum close to the giza pyramids.

the sources added that ten of the wounded are egyptians while seven are south africans. they have been taken to a nearby hospital, and they are all in a stable condition. earlier i spoke to ranyah sabry from bbc arabic, who is in cairo and gave us the latest. the explosion was due to a primitive ied or improvised electronic device that went off when the bus was passing and shattered the glass, the majority of the injuries, all of which are light, were caused by the shattered glass. seven are tourists from south africa and the rest are egyptians, passers—by or people who were in a car next to the bus when the explosion happened, and it occurred close to the grand egyptian museum which is still under construction and will be opened

officially in 2022 but part of it remains to be open, things have moved from the egyptian museum in tahrir square to the grand egyptian museum and this is why the tourist bus was in the area. it's obviously a popular attraction. how unusual is it for terrorists to be targeted? —— tourists. security in egypt has been stable for the past two years plus, we haven't seen such explosions in the capital or any explosions targeting tourists, any violence has been occurring as part of egypt's clamp—down on terrorists and skirmishes between security and these militias or militants, but when it comes to tourists they have not been a target and tourism in egypt is picking up, we are talking about a 53% increase this year as they began a campaign on international platforms

to attract tourists back again and it has been working. we will see the affect of this explosion on the season of summer and tourism in coming weeks. the new national rail summer timetable comes into effect today and train companies say they're making every effort to avoid the chaos of last year's shake—up. but public transport campaigners have warned that train companies must have a "robust contingency plan" in case this latest timetable change leads to a repeat of last year's meltdown. our business correspondent, katy austin, has more. it's nearly summer, so some train times are changing again. new services are being added each year to provide for an increasing number of passengers and boost the economy. today's timetable shake—up makes space for 1000 additional services across the country, but these changes are on a far smaller scale than last may. then, a huge overhaul of timetables resulted in chaos for passengers on the northern and govia thames link

networks in particular. rail operators will be monitoring this summer's timetable change carefully and they said they can respond quickly if there are any problems, adding that extra staff are on hand to support passengers. train companies and network rail have emphasised that they learned lessons from what happened last summer and have been working together to put those lessons into practice. they have highlighted the winter changes introduced in december, which were also deliberately scaled back, as a successful example. but the group representing passengers says those paying to travel deserve this time round to go smoothly. we'll know really by the end of the morning commute on monday, that is the kind of acid test when this is really seeing if it works or not. sunday is a bit of a trial run. monday morning, d—day, really, for commuters. let's see what happens. we will be there watching on behalf of passengers to see what's happening and see how good the information is in particular. last summer's rail chaos led to apologies from the transport secretary and an official enquiry.

the disruption is still fresh in the minds of commuters, who will be expecting a far less stressful experience when they return to the network in their millions on monday morning. katie austin, bbc news. voters in switzerland appear to have backed the tightening of gun laws to conform with europe—wide rules. an estimated 67% of those who voted in a referendum approved of tougher controls on semi—automatic and automatic weapons. after the paris attacks in 2015, all signatories of the schengen open border treaty were told to restrict such guns. well, our correspondent imogen foulkes sent this update from the swiss capital of bern. she began by telling mejust how prevalent the sight of guns are in the country. yesterday morning i was out for my morning run, i could hear gunfire at my local shooting club and ex army officers

getting in their shooting practice. it's very common to see people with guns, it's common to hear the gun club going through its practices on a wednesday evening or sunday morning. there are an estimated 2.3 million guns in this country, probably many more inherited from fathers and grandfathers and pretty lax controls, the line has always been that the swiss government trusts its citizens with guns, gun crime is relatively low but in a country with open borders with the rest of europe, when we see the kind of horrific attacks we saw in paris, europe wants more controls, it wants police across europe to know who has an automatic weapon, where that is, who has a permit, who hasn't, whether that weapon has been sold and who to, and that is the sort of thing the swiss will have to comply

with and they voted by a pretty big majority, around 64% in favour of those restrictions. a lot of those guns are because people do their military service, they get to keep them, they may not all be using them but there have not been instances of gun violence that we report on from the us, is this driven by the need to conform with eu rules to remain in schengen? that's a good question because there have been other nationwide votes, by groups concerned about domestic violence, by doctors association and the swiss medical association concerned about suicide asking for greater gun control and these have always failed but now because of the need to keep those borders open with europe to keep good relations and access to the single market, the swiss have said yes to this restriction but in the run—up to this vote i talked

to a lot of people, primarily women who said, at last, now is our chance, i'm voting for this, not really because brussels has told us to do it but because i think this will make our country a safer place and if you look at the figures at the figures for gun suicide, you can see that switzerland has the highest in europe for that and many people are saying control guns more and people in moments of desperation won't have such easy access to them and maybe suicides could be prevented. imagine folks there in switzerland. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may promises mps a bold new offer on brexit, to try to get her deal through parliament before she leaves office. security sources in egypt say at least 17 people have been injured, in a blast appearing to target a tourist bus. the new national rail summer timetable has come into effect today — train companies say they've learned lessons from weeks of chaos

on the network last summer. sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's karthi. good afternoon. we will have a bit more information on vincent kompany ina minute. england's cricketers are well placed to win the fifth and final one match against pakistan at headingley and take the series 4—0. chasing a target of 352, pakistan slumped to 6—3 after three overs with chris woakes taking all the wickets. earlierjoe root and eoin morgan both hit half centuries for england. are 69—3.

pakistan are 69—3. britihs tennis number one, johanna konta had been hoping to win a first major title on clay this afternoon but she was beaten by the word number seven, karolina pliskova in straight sets in the italian 0pen final today. having beaten two top 10 players to get to that final, konta will now be seeded at the french open which starts later this month. after 11 years, 360 games and ten major trophies at manchester city, captain vincent kompany has played his last game for the club. he says it's the right time to leave after securing an unprecedented domestic treble in the men's game, with victory over watford in yesterday's fa cup final. kompany is returning to anderlecht, which is where he started out. this is how the belgian club made the announcment this morning on social media. kompany will be their player—manager. he came through the youth ranks at anderlecht from the age of six, so his career has come full circle as he prepares to take his first steps into coaching, but what kind of manager will he be? the fact that pep guardiola has

taken the fact that pep guardiola has ta ke n every the fact that pep guardiola has ta ken every player the fact that pep guardiola has taken every player under his stewardship to the next level and that's what he's done with vincent, at the same time he understands the belgian league, he was brought up in that environment, he's gone from there to the bundesliga, very open exciting football style and then he's gone through roberto mancini's very defensively minded and he will have mapped out the kind of manager ian tends to be and he will be able to develop a side that can play attacking football and attack from the back rather than think about defending from the front, he can do that but at the same time you'll have the learning style to speak different languages, entice british players over to belgian and be able to guide individuals, he is understands the importance of the academy system and home—grown players, he will embed these

philosophies, he has already left a legacy at manchester city. it's the final group of matches in the scottish premiership today with the last europa league place still up for grabs. as it stands that will go to kilmarnock because they are beating rangers 1—0 at the moment. aberdeen need to better kilmarnock‘s result to pinch that third place, and it is1—1 in their game at hibernian. the other match is a dress rehearsal for the scottish cup final, it sees premiership champions, celtic playing hearts. it's 1-1. great britain's women picked up only their second win of the pro league, beating belgium 2—0. grace balsdon and lily 0wsley scored the goals at london's lee valley hockey centre. the men are also playing belgium today — losing 3—0 in the final quarter to the world cup winners. there may be a superfight between deontay wilder and anthonyjoshua one day, but for now the american continues to add victories to his stunning boxing record. the latest came in quite some style,

a first—round knockout of his fellow countryman, dominic breazeale. wilder now has 41 wins from 42 fights, his records only blot being a draw against britain's tyson fury. joshua's next fight is against andy ruinr on firstjune in new york. iaman i am an intelligent fighter, i'm very smart in the ring, the way i set these guides up on the site speed is power but power on top of speed, i don't know what to call my right hand any more. it's the hammer of thor. the hammer of thor! that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. now, the largest election the world has ever seen has taken place in india — where 900 million people were eligible to vote. voting ends today, after an acrimonious and at times violent campaign.

votes will be counted later. earlier i spoke to our correspondent sangita myska, who is in delhi, and asked if the elections were as bad—tempered as reports say. very much so, so let me recap with some figures to give a sense of scale, there was 900 million registered voters have voted across 29 states from the northernmost parts of india in the himalayas down to the southern tip of this country, it's taken six weeks over seven phases, today is the last day of polling and it has been an unbelievably fierce and bitter battle, very little debate nationally about policies, instead, incredibly, a slew of personal insults from the leaders of all the major parties going at each other‘s throats in the last few weeks. why has it been such an angry campaign? this is essentially

a poll of the incumbent prime minister narendra modi, a hindu nationalist leader from the bjp party, his critics will tell you he has spent the last five years moving india away from its secular constitutional society into a country divided by caste and religion. his supporters, who are equally passionate, will say he is the only man who can deliver sustainable development over another five years and finally fight the corruption that has plagued this country. results day is on thursday and we should then have some idea who will govern the country over the next five years but there could be a twist. in 2014, narendra modi won the election with a landslide absolute majority, that hadn't happened for the previous 30 years, because india generally has been run on a system of alliances

so we could either end up with the bjp forming an alliance or all the opposition parties could end up aligning themselves against the bjp to have a third party government so everything to play for. sangita myska there on the indian general election. the eu elections take place on thursday — this weekend, we've been looking at the key issues affecting voters in the uk's nations. 0ur scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, reports from peebles in the borders, to see what voters there would like politicians to prioritise. scotland is one big constituency when it comes to the european elections. from the cities of the central belt to scotland's islands, from the mountains in the highlands, to here in the borders, six seats are up for grabs. we are starting with mountain bikers, in a race around the issues that are vexing voters.

this sport is a popular pastime in the countryside around peebles. there is a lot of work going on in this area at the moment to develop tourism, to really put the scottish borders on the map. and that is influencing how you vote in the eu elections? i think so. i feel that as long as we are in europe we clearly need to have representation. i think there can only be one core issue, really, in the european elections, and that is brexit. and i think that is probably how people will vote. so what of brexit? three years ago a majority in scotland voted to stay part of the eu, but there are strong feelings on both sides and the temperature of the debate remains high. i'll vote for anything that says they want out of europe, regardless of my allegiances to other parties in the past. we don't want to brexit, so that would be about it, that would sum it up. that is the issue you will be deciding to vote on? we just want to stay as we are. i've got my voting card but i haven't a clue what to do.

why is that? because i thought we weren't going to have any european elections! since the last european election five years ago, scots have gone to the polls plenty of times, including to vote in a referendum on scottish independence. that debate is ongoing. so might it play a role in the decision people face? over 60% of people voted to remain in this country and if they truly do want to remain i think there is only one real option for that to happen. what's that? independence. i disagree. that's fine. well, i'm welsh, i'm not scottish, i wouldn't vote for scottish independence, i don't think it's the right way to go. i think overwhelmingly for this particular election, i would like to send a strong message to westminster, you know, about how unimpressed we are about the way they've handled brexit.

turnout for the european parliamentary elections tends to be low, but the mood music for this one — strong opinions from some, anger from others, and much wariness about the election ahead. norma gordon, bbc news, peebles in the scottish borders. and you can find more news and analysis on the eu elections over on the bbc news website. this year's eurovision song contest had it all. russia had singing in the shower, australians were on bendy poles and there was a half—time performance from madonna. the netherlands triumphed for the first time since 1975 — but it was despair for the uk's entry, which finished last. 0ur correspondent david sillito was there. from tel aviv, israel, this is the grand final of the eurovision song contest, 2019! eurovision — on stage,

it was business as usual. but off—screen there were protests from those opposed to israel's occupation of the palestinian territories. chanting: taking part in eurovision means you join a racist mission! i think the world should not allow israel to host events like this because having events like the eurovision here is masking away the reality of the occupation. and injerusalem, police tackled religious protesters angered that the contest was being held on thejewish sabbath. in the end there were no stage invasions. the programme passed largely without incident. the uk's michael rice sang with gusto, but ended up in last place. and after days of doubts, madonna did perform, but fans were not sure if this was a deserving performance. # i'm going to take you there.. the winner was duncan laurence

of the netherlands, and among the fans he had been a firm favourite from the beginning. thank you. a wartime bomb caught in fishing nets off the coast of the isle of wight yesterday has been safely detonated. there you go, that's quite a sight, isn't it? that was the moment the navy's bomb disposal team pressed the button. the seven—foot wartime german sea mine was picked up by a fishing boat off the needles. which must have come as something of a surprise, but no surprise in the weather forecast. hello there. a bit more warmth in the sun has led to showers developing widely over the past hour or two and those showers will linger

into the evening and become fewer and lighter overnight. we will keep a lot of cloud across the north and west of scotland into northern ireland. there's a lot of low cloud in the north sea, it's been lapping onto the coast and that will head further inland so a misty and murky start to the morning, a bit like this morning and then the sun comes out. that triggers some warmth which in turn triggers some showers, quite a few for northern ireland, over the hills of scotland and wales, down the spine of england, temperatures similar to today. 16 in the central belt, 20 or so in the south—east of england. on monday it may start off chillier out towards western areas of the uk, fewer showers, most places will be dry, a risk of one or two showers developing across eastern england, bit of rain for northern scotland, those temperatures aren't changing much, once again with light winds it will feel warm in the sunshine. hello, this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines: theresa may promises mps a "bold" new offer on brexit, to try to get her deal through parliament before she leaves office.

security sources in egypt say at least 17 people have been
