too. one or two showers in the north west of england and thickening cloud in the south—west enabling spots of rain or drizzle in the south—west enabling spots of rain ordrizzle in in the south—west enabling spots of rain or drizzle in the far south—west of england but most of the cloud coming into england and wales is quite thin and high, so it's warm, 18—21, maybe 23 or 2a in the south house but much cooler in scotland. across northern scotland it should become a bit dry overnight tonight but the breezes are still blowing down cloud across many parts of scotland. cloudy skies for northern ireland into western parts of england and wales, further east clearer skies and in rural parts it could be chilly, li—sd. tomorrow, rain returning to highland scotland, pretty cloudy day for most of scotland. and indeed for northern ireland. one two showers here and increasing cloud across england and wales, might give the odd shower but a lot of places still dry. still some warm sunshine towards east anglia and the south—east of england where we see the highest temperatures. elsewhere temperatures may be a shade lower than today, with more cloud around. as we head

into the bank holiday weekend, whilst they'll be some sunshine there will be some rain as well and that's mainly going to be for the north and west of the uk. for all of those temperatures are sliding away is that weekend goes on. we could start with one or two early showers on saturday across southern parts of england and wales, otherwise some sunny spells. clouding overfor northern ireland very quickly and some light rain or drizzle for scotla nd some light rain or drizzle for scotland and later on into northern england, pegging temperatures back. further south in the sunshine and warm 20—22dc. but we've got the rain to come particularly on saturday night and into sunday. one weather front followed by another weather front, an area of low pressure will sweep across all areas. the weather should improve in northern ireland, we've got rain particularly across scotla nd we've got rain particularly across scotland that will stick around in northern scotland. this is a showery rain that's pushing its way through the afternoon towards the south—east of england. a bit quicker now than what we were looking at this time yesterday. temperature still perhaps 20-21 in yesterday. temperature still perhaps 20—21 in the south—east ahead of the showery rain, 15—16 further north.

all of us will be cooler and rather cloudy as we head into bank holiday monday and there may be some showers around, particularly across the northern half of the uk. further south still dry, 17—18. darren bett there. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime... the government has delayed publication of theresa may's brexit plans amid a growing backlash in her own cabinet. that's it, so goodbye from me. now on bbc one, let'sjoin our news teams where you are. have a very good afternoon. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. tracey neville has annouced her squad for the world cup, with serena guthrie as her captain for the tournament, which starts in 50 days‘ time. guthrie replaces ama agbeze, who has struggled with injury. helen housby was probably an easy

pick after scoring the winning goal in the commonwealth games final to get gold against australia. there are a couple of surprises in the 12 player squad — nat panagarry is in after beth cobden injured her acl a few weeks ago. rachel dunn is the oldest at 36, but she's had a fantastic season with wasps in the superleague. let's take a look at their fixtures. these are the preliminary, stage one matches. the first is on the 12th of july against uganda. the day after, this will be tough, england versus scotla nd this will be tough, england versus scotland in the afternoon. then on the 14th ofjuly, england against samoa. all of this matches will be available via the bbc website and live on the bbc later in the

tournament. lewis hamilton was fastest in first practice at monaco, with many of the teams playing tribute to formula i legend niki lauda, who passed away this week at the age of 70. on red bull's car the words, "danke, niki" and the message, "niki, ourwingman for the monaco gp." ferrari have said goodbye with the words, "ciao, niki, this is for you." mercedes have announced that from today their car will have a single red star. they have the word, "for our chairman and for ourfriend." hamilton has set the fastest lap so far, a fraction quicker than max verstappen of red bull. hamilton's mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas finished first practice third. but monaco is a street circuit that is notoriously difficult to navigate, as lando norris found here. the 19—year—old british driver is getting his first taste of f1 on this famous track and had a close shave. the cricket world cup gets under way in seven days' time, with england

taking on soutyh africa at the oval. former sri lankan great and mcc president kumar sangakkara says that while england might be favourites, that will count for nothing because of the nature of the tournament. it doesn't matter who that tag falls onto, once you get to a knockout, it's anyone's game. you can be favourites coming into a tournament, but once that round—robin stage ends, everyone's fair game. that's the excitement that is key to this world cup, and i would love to see what happens once the knockout games start. former england rugby union captain dylan hartley has been out since december with a knee injury and there were fears that he might miss the world cup as well. however, the director of rugby at his club northampton saints, says the 33—year—old hooker will be avaialble. i think he will be by the time we get there. he won't be underdone.

sometimes those injuries can be a blessing in disguise, because i know when he finally gets on the field, he will be as risky as anything. the counter sides that is that other quys counter sides that is that other guys of how to play an awful lot of minutes at the nations and premiership, some of those guys might bea premiership, some of those guys might be a little weary. i'm sure that don't enter your other guys that don't enter your other guys that are returning will be pretty fresh. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. the government has decided to delay publication of theresa may's revised brexit withdrawal bill, which was due tomorrow. it will now be made public in the first week ofjune. meanwhile, downing street has appointed the treasury minister mel stride as commons leader, following andrea leadsom's resignation. she stood down from the cabinet yesterday, over the government's plans for brexit. our chief political correspondent vicki young has more. one vicki young has more. more do we know about me

stride? one more do we know about mel stride? he has been given this job because of the resignation of andrea leadsom. he has previously been a minister, this is a potion for him though, he will be in the cabinet. he was a remainer, he was on that side of the arguments during the referendum. interestingly, he is the person behind the scenes he was running the unofficial leadership campaign of michael gove. this has all come about because andrea leadsom decided last night she could no longer stay in the cabinet because she felt she couldn't support the prime minister's brexit plans, and we've heard from her today about that decision. for me, i felt i couldn't, in all conscience, stand up and deliver the business statement today with the withdrawal agreement bill in it that i couldn't support elements of. so i have no doubts that i made the right decision and of course it is for the prime minister to decide what's right for her and for the country. thanks very much.

she's not the only one said to have concerns about all of this. jeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, has beenin hunt, the foreign secretary, has been in to see the prime minister today, he was in downing street for about an hour. of course, lots of speculation about whether theresa may can withstand the opposition to her plans and is really whether she decides to stand down voluntarily or tries to go ahead with this, even though many people think it won't be successful. and of course, tomorrow, in herdiary successful. and of course, tomorrow, in her diary already is a planned meeting with sir graham brady. he is the head of the 1922 executive committee, that is the committee that represents a backbench conservative mps. she's due to meet him tomorrow. last night, they had a secret vote on whether to change the leadership roles. that has happened is because she was challenged in december, she fought off that challenge, and other existing conservative party rules, she is

safe until december, another year. there is so much anxiety and concern about her leadership, growing numbers of tory mps to stand down, that yesterday they held this vote to change the rules. no—one knows the results of that, they are sealed in an envelope, but everyone feels that tomorrow, if theresa may isn't too late out what she's going to do about standing down, then she will be told there could well be another confidence vote in her in the coming days. thank you for that. in the us, several people have been killed by a powerful tornado in the state of missouri. it struck the state capital, jefferson city, close to midnight on wednesday. the strong winds ripped off roofs and left thousands without power. and in oklahoma, heavy rainfall flooded towns, with state officials telling some people to leave their homes. it's notjust the tulsa area, but even downriver, all the communities need to stay tuned, take this very, very seriously as they listen to

what the emergency management folks are saying, as far as the flooding concerned. throughout this week, we'll be hearing from some of the world's top female athletes about the challenges they face while competing. it's all part of bbc sport's series change the game, which celebrates women and their achievements in sport. our sports correspondent sally nugent met instagram fitness coach, shona vertue hold it up for me. good, and release. perfect! is part of the idea that we do have to aspire to something, that that does appeal to women when trying to be healthy and fit? it's actually nice to look at something and think, actually, i want to look like that. i think the bottom line is that there's no problem with aesthetics or aspiring to something we like the look of. i just think if it's the sole fuel for your motivation, you're going to kind of be at the mercy of your self—esteem, to a degree.

you know? you will be at the mercy of things going on in your life. social media comes in for criticism sometimes, because sometimes you look at an image and think, that looks so perfect, is it really real? have you ever been tempted to edit any images of yourself or change the way that you look? no, no, no. absolutely not. because people do. i know. i think we need to focus less on aesthetics. we need to focus on functionality and what we can be capable of. that's what i love about sport. the pressure those men and women feel to edit their bodies in a certain way to fit a beauty standard that is ever shrinking and ever leaning out, you know, that is why we need to change the dialogue. when i'm in an outfit that's more revealing, be itjust a crop top and some shorts, there's certainly more

engagement with the post. more people click, more people like, more people comment. theyjust engage so much more with nudity, unfortunately. i would like people to want to understand more about the inner workings of the body and the science of exercise, rather than just wanting to see a half—naked girl do some squats. david beckham wrote the foreword to your book and was hugely complementary in that foreword. how much support was that for you? one of the best things about david writing the quote for that book was that he helped to break down the stigma of men doing yoga. because as much as we have a stigma around women lifting weights and being fearful of that, there is still a stigma of men doing yoga, or doing any sort of practice, even meditation, things where they have to reflect inwardly. when most of us think of satellites in space, we imagine incredibly complex machines gathering vital data from across the universe. but what about satellites helping us find abandoned supermarket trolleys

or locating public toilets? these are some of the ideas in a uk space agency competition for teenagers, looking for inspiration on how satellites can improve our lives on earth. tim muffett has the story. satellites have changed the way we live our lives, but could they also prevent sights like this, or this? lowena hopes so. it was seeing trolleys like this in car parks, on the sides of roads, in waterways. and that's when my idea of trolley tracker, which uses gps to track abandoned trolleys, first came into being. there is a gps, a global positioning system, if its gps coordinates go out of certain bounds, it sends a signal to the supermarket saying where the trolley is, so that helps the supermarket keep track of where these trolleys are and it eventually leads to the supermarkets being able to re—collect the trolleys. so, the actual device is planning to go in the handle. instead of replacing the entire trolley, which makes the actual

solution cheaper and it means that supermarkets are more incentivised to take this idea on board. it's stilljust an idea, but it has landed lowena the individualfirst prize in the uk space agency satellife competition. you can see the routes that people take to abandon them, where they're commonly abandoned, at what time of day, what day of the week. that allows supermarkets to better route—plan, so they are able to put in better preventative methods. it's thought hundreds of thousands of trolleys are abandoned every year — costly not just to supermarkets but the environment as well. they can cause flooding and damage wildlife. i'm going to present my idea to a panel of people who hopefully will give me some support for my idea, and i hope to work with supermarkets and local governments to solve this issue.

a proposal to allow hong kong citizens to be sent to mainland china to face trial has sparked widespread concern. activists and local business people have combined to oppose the new law, which it's feared could allow people just passing through hong kong to be extradited. stephen mcdonell reports from hong kong. hong kong's legislator is again locked in conflict of relations with beijing. driving this as fierce or changed to allow the city's residents and even visiting travellers to be extradited to mainland china, where courts are controlled by the communist party. on the streets too, they're marching against it, led by the veterans of the failed 2014 umbrella movements, democracy protests. hong kong people believe in the rule of law, and in china we realise there is lack of separation of power and a lack of transparency. student activists is 110w transparency. student activists is

now again in prison for his role in the demonstrations five years ago, but we will 14 taken away, he told the bbc he thought trumped up charges could be used to grab troublemakers out of hong kong in future. you know how they play the game, so they could arrest any distant or activist with charges that are relevant to political movements. when hong kong was handed back to china from british control, there was a guarantee that people wouldn't be sent across the border to face trial. baiting legislators have said this has enabled fugitives to hide in the city. of course, the loophole has always been there. this woman says the proposal has protections — a conviction must warrant three yea rs a conviction must warrant three years imprisonment and would be a crime in both hong kong and the mainland. the conduct must have double criminality. secondly, political offences are not to be

extradited. at at the moment, hong kong residents also cannot be sent to macau or taiwan for trial, but china has used the case of a hong kong resident accused of murder in taiwan is the reason for the change. critics of this may say it is a classic political strategy in hong kong or anywhere else for that matter. the government focuses in on particularly heinous crimes and in that way, distracts people from a much broader change, one that could alter this city for ever. to appease the business committee, a series of corporate crimes have been taken out of the expedition bill. although many remain sceptical, as the government pushes ahead, hoping to get its past before the legislative council's summer break injuly. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news:

the government has delayed the publication of theresa may's revised brexit withdrawal bill, which was due tomorrow. downing street says the prime minister is listening to colleagues concerns the health minister apologises after an undercover investigation by panorama finds vulnerable patients being mocked, taunted and intimidated by staff at a hospital in county durham. the indian prime minister narendra modi has secured another five—year term after a landslide general election victory. in the business news: aviation regulators from around the world meet today to decide when the grounded boeing 737 max will return to the skies. the jet was grounded in march following two crashes in five months, which claimed the lives of 346 people. the meeting, led by the us federal aviation administration, the pound is the worst—performing major currency so far this month, having lost 3.3% of its value against the dollar. its also weakened for 14 consecutive

days against the euro. a new home for cosmetics company avon — it's to be sold to brazilian cosmetics group natura, which already owns the body shop and aesop. the deal will create the world's fourth—largest cosmetics company, with 3,200 stores worldwide. afternoon, welcome to the business news. four pharmaceutical companies have been accused of illegally colluding to restrict the supply of an anti—nausea tablet. by controlling the supply of the drug, the companies drove up the price paid for it by the nhs by 700%. the competition and markets authority said the cost of the tablets rose from £6.49 per pack to just over £51 after suppliers agreed not to compete. the drug is often prescribed to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. one of the firms named, alliance, has denied the allegations. the bbc has contacted the other

firms for comment and has not received any as yet. joining us now isjosh hughes, senior associate at bolt burdon kemp. thank you forjoining us. firstly, it is clear that if the nhs is paying a higher price for these drugs, 700% higher, that is passed on to patients as well? absolutely. the first thing we need to notice is that this is an ongoing investigation and that will have to run its course. however, if those allegations are proven, u nfortu nately, allegations are proven, unfortunately, this won't be a unique scenario. as you quite rightly say, it is the end user, the person dealing with the cancer diagnosis, who will lose out here. has this happened before in other situations with drugs? i'm afraid it has and i suspect it will in the future. it's shock practice, i don't wa nt to future. it's shock practice, i don't want tojump to future. it's shock practice, i don't want to jump to conclusions, though

thatis want to jump to conclusions, though that is the truth. it is a person at the end of this dealing with a diagnosis and devastating news who will have to deal with the consequences of not having access to it. the competitions and market authority are privy to this and they're investigating this, but in terms of consumers and patients, what rights do they have? the nhs will now have to undertake a cost benefit analysis for any drug, including this, and there by the cost of that medication are skyrocketed, there is every chance that those scales will be taped and that those scales will be taped and that a person who needs the drug will not have access to it. the decision by the nhs, if that is to happen, to restrict the prescription of those drugs to those who need it would potentially be subject to judicial review proceedings, which isa judicial review proceedings, which is a very serious process. in terms

of legal implications, that's what it is, it is a judicial review into how this came about? it would meet the competition markets agency would look at this from the allegations that we're looking at. if the nhs do decide to restrict the drug public lawyers will look into that. for my ideal, the end user would have a large practice of cancer patients dealing with missed diagnoses, and this news that the drug, once they are finally diagnosed, could be restricted with an impact on their life expectancy, is frightening. thank you forjoining us. a barrel of brent crude has dropped below $70, continuing a trend from the previous two days. trade friction between the us

and china is creating concern over demand. that's all the business news. as if saturday night wasn't humiliating enough at the eurovision song contest, the uk's entry has now been docked five points after the organisers spotted an error in the results process. michael rice's song bigger than us was already last. organisers say the incorrect calculation had been used to create a substitute set of points after the belarussian jury was dismissed. tomorrow is the 200th anniversary of the birth of queen victoria. to honour the occasion, kensington palace, her childhood home, will be hosting two exhibitions dedicated to her life. victoria holland went to have a look. this is actually queen victoria's actual hair. the hair at the bottom is her baby hair, and the later bits from haircuts in her childhood. they were collected by her governess and kept in a scrapbook. when she was born, she was fifth in line to the throne, and then, just a month after her 18th birthday, she became queen.

this is what she wore for her coronation, pretty impressive. this is her coronation dalmatic, and it's woven with real gold. the red saloon was where she first became queen, this is where she held her first council meeting. these figurines give an idea of what she would have faced. i'm joined by the chief curator here, what would that scene have been like? such a joyful moment in her life, because she had a quite dark and lonely childhood. as soon as she was 18 years old, she came to the throne and came in on the first day, through that doorjust there, and into her first council meeting. she was only 18, tiny little girl, really unimpressive, but she somehow stood up to this occasion. you can see all the councillors here, they were old men, politicians, the patriarchy was standing there. but as the duke of wellington said, sitting there on that chair, it was fantastic.

she not only filled the chair, she filled the room. and we forget as well she was an inspirational leader, her public perception was riding high at this time? she did come to the throne in a blaze of glory, partly because people didn't really know anything about her, it was a good pr strategy. her childhood, which unfolded in these rooms, was quite grim, actually. she found it challenging and difficult, but it did mean that she could emerge, like a duckling turning into a swan, and she was enormously popular. as any 18—year—old girl — fresh, virginal, exciting — would be. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello. we will see slow, gradual

changes to the weather through the afternoon. for many, staying upright with sunshine. since unlike these early in the day fairly widespread. in scotland, will have thicker cloud, thicker cloud working into south west england, some rain here as well. otherwise, temperatures doing ok, around about five dm this evening here, turning cooler in scotla nd evening here, turning cooler in scotland and northern ireland with the cloud continuing to second. over nights, cloudy skies across scotland and northern ireland. england and wales have clear spells, temperatures around ten degrees, around 11 in the london area. mixed fortu nes around 11 in the london area. mixed fortunes on friday, the weather turning cooler across scotland to northern ireland, where it will be cloudy. some rain in the far north. for england and wales, another dry
