this is bbc news. the headlines at 5. theresa may promises mps a "bold" new offer on brexit, to try to get her deal through parliament before she leaves office. a roadside bomb has exploded close to a bus carrying tourists in egypt, injuring at least 17 people. 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. kompany parts company with his club — the manchester city captain is off to anderlecht as player—manager. triumph for the netherlands in this year's eurovision song contest, but disappointment for the uk,

which finished last. the prime minister is urging mps to look at what she calls her "new and improved" brexit offer "with fresh 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, 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 new, bold offer to mps across the house of commons, with an improved package of measures that she believes can win new support. i will not be simply asking mps to think again, she says. instead, i'll ask them to look at a new, improved deal with a fresh pair of eyes and to give it their support. 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. 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 in 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 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 ashely 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 tourists to be targeted? 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. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh. good evening.

england's cricketers are well placed to win the fifth and final one day match against pakistan at headingley and take the series 4—0. chasing a target of 352, pakistan slumped to 6 for 3 after three overs, with chris woakes taking the wickets. earlier, joe root and eoin morgan both hit half centuries for england. pakistan have recovered somewhat, and a few moments ago were 165 for 4 but they still need to score at around eight runs an over. kilmarnock scored a late winner against rangers to clinch third spot in the scottish premiership. they looked to be missing out with aberdeen beating hibernian, but three minutes from time, stephen o'donnell had his shirt pulled inside the penalty area. eamonn brophy rifled home the penalty to earn killie a 2—1win and their first season in europe since 2001. celtic rounded off another title winning campaign by beating hearts 2—1.

mikeyjohnston bookended the scoring at celtic park. they're about to receive the trophy for the eighth straight season. manchester city captain vincent kompany says it's "the right time" to leave, after 11 years at the club. his final game saw city secure an unprecedented domestic treble in the english men's game, with the fa cup final victory over watford yesterday. the belgian is returning to anderlecht, as their player—manager. this is how they made the announcement this morning on social media. 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. british number one, johanna konta says she's ‘pleased with her progress' despite failing in her bid to win a first major title on clay, this afternoon. she was beaten by a worthy winner — the world number seven, karolina pliskova. in straight sets in the italian open final. having beaten two top—10 players to get to this final, konta will now be seeded

at the french open, which starts later this month. great britain's women picked up only their second win of the pro league, beating belgium 2—0. grace balsdon and lily owsley scored the goals at london's lee valley hockey centre. the men are also playing belgium today — losing 3—nil in the final they were defeated 4—0. 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 1stjune in new york. i am an intelligent fighter, i'm very smart in the ring, the way i set these guys up. they say 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. another wicket down for pakistan, looking like england will win the series 4—0, and you can keep up—to—date with the italian open final between rafa nadal and djokovic on the bbc sport website. 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. indian prime minister narendra modi's bjp party is on course to win the country's general election — that's according to exit polls. voting has ended in the seventh and final phase of the election, the world's biggest exercise in democracy. 900 million people were eligible to vote. our correspondent sangita myska is in delhi. what are the exit polls suggesting? you know better than those that exit polls come with health warnings, they are not always reliable. the way they are done is literally someone way they are done is literally someone standing outside the polling

booth asking people what they have voted, and therefore there can be vast variations. having said all of that, three out of four of the biggest exit polls are showing that narendra modi, the incumbent, is likely to be re—elected in 2019, and likely to be re—elected in 2019, and likely to be able to form an absolute majority government. in 2014 he became the first prime minister in about 30 years to be able to do that. if he repeats that success , able to do that. if he repeats that success, clearly that will be a huge coup. yes, health warnings, we need to look at australia to see that. just 36 hours ago. but if this is right, what is the legacy of the campaign that you have experienced out their? some of the reporting here suggested it has been pretty negative. this i would say, and i think most people here would agree, this has been the most divisive, bitter, fractious election that india has seen in many, many years.

the question of course is why. principally because this general election has been less about issues and more about having a referendum on the prime minister. he of course is from the bjp party, they are hindu nationalist. critics will say that over the past five years he has failed to deliver on big things. we have a stumbling economy. growth is slowing down. there is a problem withjobs. slowing down. there is a problem with jobs. unemployment is the highest for 45 years. farmers are in suicides, a huge problem, thousands across the country in the last five yea rs. across the country in the last five years. but very little discussion of that. his critics say instead it has all been drowned out by the identity politics of the bjp. they have made great play of caste and religion in this country, and critics will say asa this country, and critics will say as a result india is inching away from its secular constitutional basis. but the rent remedy‘s

supporters will tell you he is the only man that can deliver sustained development —— narendra modi. in the south of the country, which in the past has been unresponsive to the bjp, they will also tell you he is the only prime minister that can ta ke the only prime minister that can take india out of the embedded corruption that has dogged this country for many years. but of course, the results will be counted on thursday and that is when we will get the actual result and we will know who indians have voted for, and who they want to govern the country over the next five years. meantime, i would means you can get some rest! thanks for staying up for us this evening. 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 timetable. but public transport campaigners

have warned that train companies must have a "robust contingency plan" in case this latest timetable turns out not to be so smooth. 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 1,000 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 is 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. a bbc five live investigation has found that the number of prosecutions for "revenge porn" in england and wales has fallen, despite an increase in reported incidents. laws were brought in four years ago to tackle the problem. but while reports have more than doubled, the number of prosecutions has fallen

by nearly a quarter. antoinette raffaela huber is doing a phd at liverpooljohn moores university focusing on image based sexual abuse. she explained why the number of prosecutions were decreasing while the number of reports are increasing. in terms of the low level of prosecutions, at the moment, the law that we have is not fit for purpose. so it doesn't particularly, there's too many loopholes in it, in that it doesn't particularly help police forces and the crown prosecution service to prosecute cases. it also doesn't encourage victims to stay within the criminaljustice process, so what you will have is victims who pull out of the process. the prosecutor has to prove, or demonstrate an intent to cause distress, so it's not enough that your ex—boyfriend or ex—girlfriend sticks naked pictures of you on the internet, they have to intend you to feel

distress, i mean how big of a bar is that in prosecution? at the moment, it's incredibly high, there are a lot of cases where somebody can say, that for example, they were intoxicated, or they didn't realise the level of distress it would've caused the victims. you also find that there are instances where people don't necessarily share them with the intent of the victim finding out that their image has been shared, so gaining status within online peer groups. so actually, they look at cases that way, and if you can't clearly demonstrate that intent, you likely won't face prosecution, so i guess what we need is another sort of secondary bar in terms of... ...you ought to should have known, will causes distress. 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, those are the ones we know about, probably many more inherited from fathers and grandfathers and pretty lax controls —

the line has always been that the swiss government trusts the swiss citizen, the swiss man, 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 the instances of gun violence that we report on from the us or other european countries. 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 women's groups, groups concerned about domestic violence, by the 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 for gun suicide, you can see that

switzerland has just about 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. in a moment viewers on bbc one willjoin us for a round of the news with mishal husain. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. it is very slow—moving weather at the moment. the winds are light, it feels warm when the sun is out but we have seen some showers developing as well. weather watcher picture taken here in mid wales. there has been also been a lot of low cloud around the north sea coasts. this was the scene earlier today in north yorkshire. those showers have been developing and as it has brightened up across eastern scotland, so we're seeing showers arriving here as well. for western scotland on the cloudy side as we head towards the evening. a lot of could too for northern ireland, signs of some bright weather

allowing the odd shower. some showers across northern england. particularly to the east of the pennines. most of the showers are arriving through the midlands towards central and southern england, perhaps clipping wales. those showers could be heavy and thundery too. through the evening and overnight, the showers become fewer and lighter, many places turning dry. remember, all that low cloud and misty weather along the north sea coast will push a little further inland tonight. pretty mild out there though. temperatures around eight or nine degrees. as we head into monday, almost a repeat performance of today. after a misty start, it will be warm in the sunshine with showers arriving and they may be heavy and thundery once again and slow—moving because the winds are very light. that is why we have that mist and fog around in the morning that lifts, the sunshine develops a little more widely, triggering showers. more showers across northern ireland, the high ground of scotland, over the north of england, down through the midlands, toward central southern england and over the hills of wales. again, a little bit misty

around the north sea coast with temperatures tommorrow similar to those of today. we still have low pressure towards continental europe. higher pressure is coming in from the atlantic. it is not a particularly strong area of high pressure but it will limit the chance of catching a shower. a chilly start out in the west on tuesday. the risk of one or two showers developing for the eastern side of england. a bit of rain across northern scotland as well. temperatures much you are. 20—21 across more southern parts of england and wales. that will feel pleasant in the light winds. the outlook, temperatures are not going to change an awful lot. later in the week, a bit more cloud and the chance maybe of a few more showers returning.

brexit messages from the two main parties. theresa may says she'll be putting a bold offer to mps — whilejeremy corbyn believes there won't be anything new. we'll be asking how the brexit divide will shape thursday's vote. also on the programme — the jury's out as a new rail timetable comes in — passengers hope to avoid

the disruption of last year. abortion and american politics — how president trump's pro—life position could shape next year's election. leaving on a high — vincent kompany announces his departure from manchester city. and — 76 years on — two second world war evacuees are reunited. good afternoon. the prime minister is to launch a last—ditch attempt to gain approval for her brexit deal, with what she calls a bold offer to labour and conservative critics. writing in the sunday times, theresa may says mps should look at her withdrawal bill — the legislation needed to take britain out of the eu — with fresh pairs of eyes.

but the opposition leader jeremy corbyn says he does not think the bill will be fundamentally any different, and therefore, labour won't be supporting it. here's our political correspondent ben wright. the ayes to the right, 286. the noes to the left, 344. mps have already rejected theresa may's brexit deal three times. but the prime minister plans a final throw of the dice before she quits no 10. the deal agreed with the eu will not be reopened. but writing in the sunday times, mrs may promises a new boulder mrs may promises a new bold offer to mps across the house of commons with an improved package of measures that she believes can win new support. theresa may's offer to mps so far lacks any detail but it will not, for instance, include a confirmatory referendum, something many labour mps want. 0ne cabinet minister said measures including extra guarantees on workers' rights should, though, secure labour support. 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. last week, jeremy corbyn pulled the plug on talks with the government. today he was reluctant to say whether he wanted brexit to happen or not. and certainly sounded sceptical about helping theresa may get the withdrawal agreement bill into law. we haven't seen whatever the new bill is going to be yet. but nothing i've heard leads me to believe that it's fundamentally different to the previous bill that's been put forward. so as of now we're not supporting it. theresa may says she'll make her big offer in a speech this week. and her hope is to win over enough labour mps to offset opposition from her own side. but few here think that's likely to work. tory resista nce that's likely to work. tory resistance seems to be growing and breaking the deadlock in parliament looks as hard as ever. how are you, right? and look who is making hay

out of that? polls suggest the brexit party is surging in the european elections being held this week and their new recruits sell a simple message. we have one clear aim and we are not going to muddy it with a whole lot of others, we have a clearaim with a whole lot of others, we have a clear aim which is to deliver the result of the referendum. the second reason for not having a manifesto is they are rather discredited. and while labour says another referendum should be an option, there is no ambiguity from parties campaigning to remain. if the government is going to bring the withdrawal bill before parliament, what we have said is if they attach a confirmatory referendum to it we will support it. 0thers fighting for remain votes on thursday say there is no time to hold another public vote before 0ctober hold another public vote before october 31, the latest brexit deadline. 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 5—6 months. we now no longer have the time to do that before the 31st of october. the

stalemate here and the government's failure to get a brexit deal through parliament have led to this week's european elections and the chance for vote rs european elections and the chance for voters to have a say on the state of brexit. benjoins me now. this makes it very immediate and more difficult for the two major parties. they are expecting a really ha rd parties. they are expecting a really hard set of elections this time around at the irony is that these european elections, three years after the referendum and a couple of months after we were meant to have left. these will, perhaps in the whole history of european elections in the uk, be about elections with our relationship with the european union. labour are trying to keep leave and remain supporters on that side. jeremy corbyn says he would get a better brexit deal than the government. 0n the other hand he says another referendum should be an option. it's an ambiguity designed to keep the labour coalition together, ambiguity, it must be said, that is driving a lot of labour mps said, that is driving a lot of labourmps are said, that is driving a lot of labour mps are absolutely mad because they worry labour will lose support to parties campaigning

unequivocally for another referendum. for the tories, these elections are a surreal nightmare and they can see steaming towards them the brexit party headed by nigel farage. and it was ukip in 2015 who won the european elections and did so much to persuade the tories to go for another referendum. and here they are perhaps about to be punished as the brexit party scoops up all of those disillusioned leave supporters. whether theresa may gets her brexit deal through the commons or not in the next month or two, the brexit party's showing will doa two, the brexit party's showing will do a huge amount to shape the tory leadership contest that's coming round the corner. then right, our political correspondent, thank you. —— ben wright. and you can find out more information about thursday's european parliamentary elections on our website — bbc.co.uk/politics. the new national rail summer timetable has come into effect today — with train companies say they're making every effort to avoid the chaos of last year's shake—up. public transport campaigners have warned that robust contingency plans are needed in case the changes do cause disruption. our business correspondent

katy austin reports. train companies are adding new services 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 thameslink networks in particular. rail operators will be monitoring this timetable change carefully and say they can respond quickly if there are problems, adding 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 highlight the new wintertime is introduced in december which were

it is not yet known who was responsible. president trump has come out in support of pro—life views on abortion amid controversy surrounding changes to the law in several states. this year alone, eight have voted to either ban abortions — or to further restrict the time limits on when they can take place. anti—abortion campaigners say they want the issue pushed to the supreme court, where they hope republican judges will overturn a landmark ruling that legalised terminations. with more here's our north america correspondent chris buckler. the battle over a woman's right to an abortion is being fought across the states and there may be no issue more divisive in a country already split apart by politics. should a child, life inside a mother's womb, be killed due to the actions of its pa rents ? be killed due to the actions of its parents? on friday, missouri passed a bill that stops a pregnancy from being terminated after eight weeks u nless

being terminated after eight weeks unless there is a medical emergency. there is no exception allowed for cases where the mother has been the victim of rape or incest. any time we are so victim of rape or incest. any time we are so disrespectful and immoral that we would force a woman to bring to life a child that is the result ofa to life a child that is the result of a rape and incest, to life a child that is the result ofa rape and incest, or of to life a child that is the result of a rape and incest, or of sex trafficking, we are not thinking about life. just days earlier, alabama put in place a law that is even stricter in the protests were held as they voted to outlaw all abortions at any time u nless to outlaw all abortions at any time unless a woman's life was at risk. the president knows that evangelical christians are among his strongest supporters. it was obvious as he campaigned in 2016. do you believe in punishment for abortion or a yes or no come as a principle? the answer is that there has to be some

form of punishment. for the woman? yeah, there has to be some form. those views seem to be stronger than the law in alabama which makes carrying out the abortion a crime for the doctor and not the mother but ina for the doctor and not the mother but in a tweet donald trump has said he is strongly pro—life with three exceptions. rape, incestand protecting the life of the mother. that may be a sign that he is worried this issue could influence some voters in next year's presidential election. we are at a point where a number, it is notjust alabama, this has happened in ohio, this has happened in missouri, this happened in georgia will stop there isa happened in georgia will stop there is a law that has been passed in michigan that the democratic governor is going to veto. this is happening across the country and people need to know what's really going on here. this is a violation of civil rights. republicans seem determined to boost this issue in individual states in an attempt to get america's abortion laws challenged here at the us supreme court. more than 45 years ago the famous case roe versus wade

established a woman's right to choose an abortion but donald trump has appointed new justices choose an abortion but donald trump has appointed newjustices that have given this a conservative majority and members of his party want to test the law again. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. now to some of the day's other news. it's been a weekend of elections. in india — polls have closed in the world's largest ever election process. 900 million people were eligible to vote with results expected later this week. exit polls suggest prime minister narendra modi's ruling bjp is on course to win. in australia — prime minister scott morrison has been celebrating what appears to be a surprise general election victory. full official results haven't yet been declared, but mr morrison's coalition is just a few seats short of an outright majority. the opposition labour party — which polls had suggested would win — has already admitted defeat. austria is heading for a snap election after a corruption scandal caused the collapse of the coalition government. the deputy chancellor — and leader of the far—right freedom party —

"one of the greatest players, leaders and role models", a man who "defines the essence of the club," just some of the tributes to manchester city's, vincent kompany who has announced he is leaving the etihad stadium to become player—manager at the club where he started his career, anderlecht. kompany bows out after helping city to win an unprecedented domestic treble in english men's football. katie gornall reports. at the heart of this thriving city there has always been a solid kompany, there has always been a solid kompa ny, yesterday's fa there has always been a solid kompany, yesterday's fa cup was the tenth and final major honour of his time at manchester city, a team that finished the season with all three domestic trophies, something no english men's team had done before. it is the best team in the world for

me. to set such a high standard for such a long period of time, i'm not talking one year, i'm talking two yea rs talking one year, i'm talking two years running, what a team and what a privilege. the morning after celebrating the treble he told the world he'd be leaving. in a statement he said, it still doesn't feel real, man city has given me everything. i've tried to give back as much as i possibly could. he joined the club in 2008, week before the takeover by the abu dhabi —based sheikh mansour, which would transform the city. in 2012 he became the first city player to lift a top division trophy in 44 years, and he went on to win three more league titles, two fa cups and four league cups. but perhaps a kompany moment that will live longest in the memories is one of their last at his club. it won the game and put kompany into premier league folklore. biggest contribution that any player has ever made to the club. everyone loves him and respects him. he's been the perfect

captain. his next step will be to retrace his first footballing steps. he is going back to his boyhood club anderlecht to be player manager. city will miss a part of their modern soul but kompany says himself this is no goodbye, it's a see you later. kompany‘s kompa ny‘s bonds with kompany‘s bonds with manchester extend far beyond the pitch. in his time here he set up a charity to help the city's homeless and will also donate the proceeds from his testimonial. it is yet another reason why fans might feel a bit emotional when they see him and the tea m emotional when they see him and the team on an open top bus to parade through manchester. it is billed as a celebration of the treble but i think it may well turn into a celebration of one of the premier league's great careers. thank you very much, katie gornall. celtic have been celebrating winning their 50th scottish league title. mikeyjohnston scored both celtic goals in a 2—1win over hearts as they finish the scottish premiership season

unbeaten at home and nine points clear of second—placed, rangers. it's celtic‘s eighth league title in a row. kilmarnock have finished in third place in the league and therefore secured the final europa league place thanks to a penalty in the last minute from eamonn brophy. they beat rangers 2—1. aberdeen beat hibernian by the same score to finish in fourth place and could still reach the europa league depending on the result of the scottish cup final. england's cricketers are well placed for victory in the fifth and final one day international against pakistan as they prepare for this month's home world cup. england captain, eoin morgan hit five sixes as they made 351—9 off their 50 overs. pakistan slumped to 6—3 with chris woakes taking all three wickets at the start of their innings but pakistan were rebuilding but are now 232—7. england are already 3—0 up in the series. british tennis number one, johanna konta will have to wait to win her first major title on clay after she was defeated in the final

but you haven't altered. no, nor you. laughter it's been 76 years since they last met but the school time memories of powis castle are still as clear as ever. do you remember miss gwynn? we called her beaky! laughter very tall and very thin and she taught english. oh, she was good, though. during the second world war, thousands of schoolchildren from the cities were moved to safer rural locations. as governor of the welsh girls school in ashford just outside london, lord powis invited the pupils there to be taught in his family home in powis castle, mid—wales. i think we were quite unaware of the war going on because we were never told what was happening. no. wendy duff and mabel gower are now the last two surviving members of their year group. and in addition to the lessons, the homework and the recreational

activities they had here, the girls spent hours making much needed garments that were sent to our battling troops. every spare minute we were knitting, because we used to knit socks. we were not allowed to waste any time at all. in the 80th year since the beginning of the second world war, this now a national trust—run castle has been recreated for the public as the school it once was between 1939 and 1946. that's margaret gregory... before the war ended, wendy and mabel parted to study at different colleges in london and the midlands. yet after a lifetime apart, the memories of their time in powis live on. i mean, i feel as if we haven't really missed a time, you know? yeah. you know, we've both had completely different lives.

it makes me very grateful i've lived so long. exactly, exactly. tomos morgan reporting. we're back with the late news at 10 o'clock. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello. this is bbc news with me, shaun ley. this year's eurovision song contest had it all: russia had singing in the shower, australians were on bendy poles and there was a special 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! 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 orthodox protesters angered that the contest was being held on the jewish sabbath. in the end there were no major protests. 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. the winner was duncan laurence of the netherlands, and among the fans he had been a firm favourite from the beginning. thank you. bbc news, tel aviv. the marathon is just about the most arduous test for any runner. it's tough enough on a flat surface, but imagine having to run it along the great wall of china? every year, for twenty years now, they've been doing exactly that, as the bbc‘s tim allman explains. there are marathons, and then there are marathons. this is about as grueling as it gets. but hey, the scenery is not bad.

nearly 700 competitors from dozens of different countries took part in this year's full marathon, there were plenty of ups and downs, and there were steps, lots and lots of steps. probably the most stupid idea i had in my whole life. this is knackering. quite. but there were officials along the way offering moral support. you're the best! yay! although these may be the single most dispiriting words in the english language. halfway, halfway. depending on where you're going. but eventually, after mile after mile of pain and exhaustion, tears and sweat, the finishing line came into sight. every thing i hoped it would be, brutal, flawless fun, lots of incline, lots of resistance, probably the toughest race i've ever done, and it was, once you fire a cross that line, it's like oh, this is amazing. i had to crawl on my

hands and knees. i thought i was going to throw up, and i saw the girl who got second, i saw her behind me and i thought, shoot, i better pick up the pace, so she doesn't catch me. the great wall of china may not have been able to hold back the mongol hordes, but it's still pretty tough. tim allman, bbc news. rather them than me. time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. it is very slow—moving weather at the moment. the winds are light, it feels warm when the sun is out, but we have seen some showers developing as well. weather watcher picture taken here in mid wales. there has been also been a lot of low cloud around some north sea coasts. earlier on today, this was the scene earlier today in scarburough, north yorkshire. those showers have been developing and as it has brightened up across eastern scotland, so we're seeing showers arriving here as well. for western scotland though, still on the cloudy side as we head towards the evening. a lot of could too for northern ireland, signs of some brightness allowing

the odd shower. some showers across northern england. particularly to the east of the pennines. most of the showers though are arriving through the midlands towards central and southern england, perhaps clipping wales. those showers could be heavy and thundery too. now through this evening and overnight, the showers become fewer and lighter, many places turning dry. remember, all that low cloud and misty weather along the north sea coasts, that will push a little further inland tonight. pretty mild out there though. temperatures around eight or nine degrees. as we head into monday, almost a repeat performance of today. after a misty start, it will be warm in the sunshine but the showers that do arrive may be heavy and thundery once again and slow—moving because the winds are very light. that is why we have that mist and fog around in the morning. that lifts, the sunshine develops a little more widely, triggering showers. more showers across northern ireland, the high ground of scotland, over the north of england, down through the midlands, toward central southern england and over the hills of wales. again, a little bit misty around the north sea coast but temperatures tommorrow similar to those of today.

16 for central scotland, 20 in the southeast of england. we still have low pressure towards continental europe. higher pressure is coming in from the atlantic. it is not a particularly strong area of high pressure but it will limit the chance of catching a shower. a chilly start out in the west on tuesday. the risk of one or two showers developing mainly for the eastern side of england. a bit of rain across northern scotland as well. again those temperatures much you are. 20—21 across more southern parts of england and wales. that will feel pleasant in the light winds. really in the outlook, temperatures are not going to change an awful lot. later in the week, likely to find a bit more cloud and the chance maybe of a few more showers returning.
