‘ left [aézfit ii‘ul‘ei they left the champions league trophy. for liverpool it is an opportunity to put last year's runners up opportunity to put last year's runners up status behind them and lift the trophy for the sixth time. a very special occasion for the thousands of fans gathering here in sweltering madrid squares. my goodness, 3500. my goodness, 3500. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes i'm hoping for some sweltering temperatures, are we unlucky? for the south—east at least we will get hot weather tomorrow. mixed fortu nes to get hot weather tomorrow. mixed fortunes to date with rain in northern ireland, scotland and northern england. a lot of cloud across the uk. but we have a gap in

the cloud working into south—west england and that is why i like this picture. although it is cloudy, you can see those clear blue skies on the horizon and they will work in quite quickly across south—west england and wales this afternoon. a big improvement in the weather here. rain at times for northern ireland and there is more rain on the way later in the afternoon. the wettest weather is in western scotland with localised flooding a possibility. when the sun comes out it is fairly humid, temperatures into the late 20s and it will feel pleasant in the sunshine. 0vernight the rain will ease off and it may be a bit damp for western scotland. another mild night in england and wales, a little bit fresherfor night in england and wales, a little bit fresher for scotland and northern ireland. into the weekend it isa northern ireland. into the weekend it is a mixed weather fortunes. for the north and west it is cloudy and humid with rain on sunday. in the

south and east it is a different story and it will be hot and sunny, particularly on saturday with humid spells of sunshine. some rain is developing and it will move eastwards. this is how things start off on saturday. this weather front will push its way northwards, bringing patchy outbreaks of rain. not entirely dry, but it will be brighter than it has been over recent days. the best of the sunshine in the south and east, and look at these temperatures. the warmest day of the year. that is saturday. for sunday it is a bit different. low pressure in charge. this will push its way eastwards and it will reach east anglia and south—east england late in the day. for most of the day it is dry, sunny and pretty warm. elsewhere, we have got the cloud and rain streaming in with a fresh feel to the weather with a fresh feel to the weather with temperatures in the high teens

to the 20s. never that hot on the north—west of the uk, but bright weather to look forward to. hot and humid the south—east. hot and humid the south—east. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime... president trump has announced a shock trade tariffs on mexico which he says will increase unless mexico reduces the number of people crossing its border into the us. good afternoon. it's 1.33pm and here's your latest sports news... it's all eyes on madrid for liverpool and tottenham — both sides will train in the metropolitano stadium later

ahead of tomorrow's champions league final. this is liverpool flying out ofjohn lennon airport this morning — hundreds of fans there to send them on their way. bossjurgen klopp‘s confident and he says he has world class players at a sensational club. as for spurs — they've been in madrid for a few days. it's their first champions league final and they go into the game as underdogs. the momentum could be with them though after some brilliant late wins in the quarter and semi finals. as for the fans — thousands of them have travelled to madrid, with and without tickets. hugh woozencroft is there. hugh, some fans are starting to arrive — others have been enjoying the build up. there for a few days already — people clearly enjoying the build up. it is already a party atmosphere here in madrid. plenty of fans are singing songs from both clubs, words exchanged, but not too bad. the

party atmosphere beginning. com pletely party atmosphere beginning. completely different to kiev where fa ns completely different to kiev where fans turned up on the day. we had tens of thousands here. we are expecting hundred 50,000 for the game on saturday night. —— 150,000. we can talk game on saturday night. ——150,000. we can talk to some fans now. why did you have to be here because you haven't got a ticket? i wanted to absorb the atmosphere. i got the train from valencia today. why is liverpool a special team for the fans? we have won all over europe, we have to do it again. tell us about tottenham. you have a special story. you got your tickets booked early. we picked tickets early. i think it was written in the that we are going to take it home. you backed tottenham hotspur when were

3-0 backed tottenham hotspur when were 3—0 down on aggregate. i can't imagine he has got much to say. he has not been on tv for a long time. as you can tell, things building up nicely. as you said, the players will be out training at the stadium later on. we will know if harry kane will be featuring from the beginning of the game. he says he is ready but we will find out from his manager if he is ready to start the game later on. thank you very much. pakistan have had an awful start to their cricket world cup, as they began their campaign against the west indies at trent bridge. having been sent into bat, pakistan posted their second—lowest world cup total of 105 in less than 22 overs. 0pener fakhar zaman and babar azam were thejoint top—scorers with just 22 each.

0shane thomas took four wickets for 27 runs, while jason holder took 3—42 for the windies. you can follow it live on 5 live sports extra, and via the bbc sport website. the women's second seed, karolina pliskova, has been knocked out of the french open. the czech was completely outplayed by petra martic of croatia and lost in straight sets. in the men's draw roger federer‘s on court now against norway's kasper ruud. and anthony joshua says a fight with fellow british heavyweight tyson fury will be his focus if he beats andy ruinunior in new york this weekend. they fight at madison square garden in the early hours on sunday morning. joshua is the wba, wbo and ibf champion and ideally wants a fight with deontay wilder who holds the only belt he hasn't got. but he says if that can't happen, he wants to fight fury. and that is all the support for it now. more far you in the next half and our. thank you. good afternoon. let's return to that breaking story... peter willsman, who sits on labour's national executive committee,

has been suspended from the party over his comments on the party's handling of anti—semitism. a little earlier, my colleague anita mcveigh spoke to mike katz, the national chair ofjewish labour, and asked him for his reaction. when the jewish labour movement said that the party's problem with anti—semitism was institutionalised, this is exactly what we meant. i mean, there are two things here. firstly, pete willsman isn't some random member somewhere, he is a member of the party's ruling body, the national executive committee, and he is also involved in the clpd, which is a far left faction, which is for years has sought control within the party and worked with the left of the party. very clearly, he is an important major player. the second point here is that he has form. last summer, when the nec was debating the adoption of the internationally accepted ihra definition of anti—semitism, pete willsman went

on an extraordinary rant, which was exposed, about how the 68 rabbis that had written into the nec asking them to adopt this definition were all trump supporting, a terrible slur. he was simply given a smack on the wrist and he was re—elected to the body. and here he is again. a few months later, earlier this year, saying exactly the same sort of thing. it is disgusting and it certainly wouldn't be tolerated in terms of any other minority in this country. this is why we say the party has a problem with institutional anti—jewish hate. how would you contrast the fact that mr willsman has been suspended with the fact that alistair campbell was expelled for choosing to vote for another party in the european elections, or would you draw a comparison there, perhaps not? well, certainly people earlier on in the week when alistair campbell was expelled within a matter of days, they certainly made a contrast with the fact it has taken the party so long to act in other cases of anti—semitism. in fact, in the case of ken livingstone, he just walked before they had a chance to do

anything with him, really. no, let's be clear about this, the party has got a habit of suspending people, hoping the fuss dies down and it all blows over, and the suspension is lifted some weeks or months later. this cannot and must not happen in this case. he was given a very clear warning by the general secretary of the party that this sort of behaviour would not be tolerated. that was too lenient, in my view, jlm's view. nonetheless, he was given that warning. he has reoffended. he needs to be expelled from the nec, expelled from the party for good, now. a man with those kind of views has no place in the labour party. do you think this merits further investigation before any expulsion? well, it is very clear what he said. as i say, he has form. it is very clear that this kind of conspiratorial left anti—semitism that he indulges in is one of the problems with the culture and leadership around the party. we always say, the policies and the process working properly are really important but it is the culture and leadership

that are the most vital things. it is the warping of that that is making the labour party a toxic place, an unsafe place forjews. what is your message tojeremy corbyn directly on this? if he cares a jot for the feelings of the jewish community, he can't engage in the same old warm words about not tolerating anti—semitism, not tolerating racism, he needs to take action now. we understand that peter willsman has been a political ally of his over decades, but he needs to put morality, as well as the party and the feelings of the jewish community first. take firm action and expel him now, expel him for good. a letting agency has been illegally evicting tenants and taking their belongings, the bbc has been told. tenants we've spoken to said they arrived home to find their locks had been changed and their rooms emptied. the agency, flintons in east london,

said it "strongly denies" it has ever broken the protection from eviction act or taken their customers' personal possessions. esme ash reports. last year, julius moved from manchester to a shared flat here in east london. at some point, he was charged extra fees for late payment of rent, then he says he came home at night to find the key to his bedroom didn't work. when a locksmith let him in, he says his room was empty. i got in, rushed to my room, they had changed the locks and i was like... 0h! everything was gone. what was in your stuff? what did you have that they took? my clothes. so my clothes, shoes, towels, they literally took everything. they even took my bed sheets. the law around eviction is straightforward. it can be illegal if your landlord forces you to leave by threatening you, or stops you from getting into parts of your home, or the locks are changed

while you're out. the key clause here is "due process", which means the correct steps have to be followed. the protection from eviction act protects all residential occupiers from harassment and illegal eviction. most people in the country need to be evicted by a court order. the bottom line is, if the landlord does not get a possession order from the court, that would be an illegal eviction. more than 2,000 people contacted citizens advice to record an illegal conviction last year. a five year high across england and wales. but the evidence threshold for prosecution is high and penalties are rare. only 47 complaints led to a prosecution. there were 18 convictions. in the most serious cases, two people went to jail. julius's rental agency, flintons, told us it strongly disputes he was locked out or his possessions were removed. it says he told them in a phone call two days before that he had already moved out. and it appeared his room

had been abandoned. that is denied byjulius, who says he still hasn't got his belongings back. i think about it every day. i am just thinking why? why has this happened to me? what have i done? i haven't done anything. i'm here trying to work, mind my business. it's not easy. it's like someone taking so much from you and kicking you out when you have done nothing. politicians have been promising stricter regulation of rental agencies in england and northern ireland. in wales and scotland, new rules are already in place. by 2025, it is thought a quarter of us could be renting privately. the worry is that without better protection, thousands more could be shut out of the housing market. scientists in burkina faso and the us have used genetic engineering to develop a new way to stop the spread of malaria. they've enhanced a fungus using a toxin found in a species of spider, so that the fungus kills the mosquitos that carry the disease.

brian lovett of the university of maryland explained. this fungus will recognise that it is on a mosquito, the one we are working with only kills mosquitoes and it will burrow through the mosquito until it reaches the blood of the mosquito. once it's surrounded by blood, then we have engineered it to express only a specific toxin from a spider from australia. so essentially we are using this natural fungal pathogen as a fang of a spider. normally the spiders deliver their toxins using their fangs to deliver the toxin, here, we are using the fungus to deliver the toxins for us. our aim is to control the mosquitoes that bite humans and not to prevent transmission of diseases like malaria. this one was successful as the result of an incredible

effort by scientists in burkina faso, and they spearheaded all of these experiments in this malaria endemic village in burkina faso. that was brian lovett from the university of maryland. the time is quarter to two. the business news coming up in a moment. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... peter willsman, who sits on labour's national executive committee, has been suspended from the party over his comments on anti—semitism. donald trump plans to hit all goods from mexico with tariffs — until they curb illegal immigration. mexico says the tariffs would be "disastrous". the gp magazine pulse has revealed that nearly 140 surgeries closed across the uk last year — up from just 18 in 2013. nhs england disputes these figures.

now for the business news. the cbi has warned candidates for the conservative leadership that small businesses cannot afford to leave the eu without a deal. the directorate general said that costly contingency plans are not an option and the idea we are ready is just not true. house prices fell by 1%, in what nationwide describes as a subdued market. the german insurer allianz will become a market leader here in britain after an 800 million pound deal to take control of two insurers here. it already owns almost half of lv general insurance but today it's announced it will buy the rest along with a deal to buy legal & general. hello there. we are going to start with houseprices and the mood

in the market is not great. nationwide building society reports that prices dropped 0.2% between april and may, despite the fact that conditions in the labour market are good and borrowing costs are low. and year on year growth of 0.6% is slowing down too. nationwide says it's because of the wider uncertainty of where the uk economy is going. earlier we asked the senior analysis at nationwide how much this has to do with brexit. for some buyers, it is certainly a concern. it is just a number of things people will take into account, clearly buying a house is a major decision. what we have seen over the last few months, really, is people are perhaps a little bit more reluctant to enter the market at the moment. that said, if you look over the last couple of years, activity has been broadly stable. as you mentioned, we have seen a bit of a bounce back in terms

of mortgage activity this morning. so as far as house prices themselves are concerned, we have seen a bit of a softening, certainly over the last six months or so, the six consecutive months even, where house price growth has been below 1%. it is certainly a weaker picture. at the moment, it would appear the balance between buyers and sellers is in favour of buyers in terms of perhaps a little more bargaining power and perhaps there is some hesitation among certain buyers at the moment. let's call on uber now. the transport giant has released its first set of results since it listed on the new york stock exchange earlier this month. the business is growing fast — but perhaps not fast enough for some investors. and it's losing a huge amount of money. let's show you the details. uber took in net revenues ofjust over 2 and three quarter billion dollars in the three months to march. that's around 2.2 billion in pounds. up 14% on the same time last year — and a little better than some were expecting.

but at what a cost? over the same three month period, uber made a loss of more than a billion dollars. £790 million in our money. that's more than double what it lost a year ago. and it means it's losing more money than almost any other public company in the us. since it started in 2009, the company has lost about nine billion. jim edwards is founding editor at business insider. this headline sounds bad but investors think there's good news in there. the losses right now are because the business is growing, the amount of bookings it takes is going up, 93 million riders on the platform. this is a very healthy expanding company. it is losing money deliberately because it is investing and its future growth and expanding its markets. those losses have remained steady over the

periods it has reported. it is within the control of the company and deliberate and that is why the markets are ignoring it. lots of peoplejumping markets are ignoring it. lots of people jumping on that warning, the warning the company might not ever be profitable. was there anything in these results today that was plotting a path towards profitability? yes, the fact that they brought the loss in exactly where they said it would indicate the company is strong and stable, to coina the company is strong and stable, to coin a cliche, the loss was also, over time, these losses are a small percentage of revenues, which indicates the company has the capability to grow revenues faster than the losses. the language they had in the original statement, we may not able to make a profit, that isa may not able to make a profit, that is a legal technicality when companies are deliberately making losses like this. rest assured, they have a plan. there are a tonne of countries and cities they are not in

yet. they know where they are going. talk to us more about that game plan, i suppose, for the long term. is it something like let's become the dominant player in all these markets? then ultimately jacked the dominant player in all these markets? then ultimatelyjacked up prices for consumers to a profitable level. the long-term plan for uber, the mistake people make about a bear is they think it is a glorified taxi application and it is not, the company believes it can change all types of public transportation in any sort of urban city or suburban area. its vision is really, really huge. you look at the countries it is not even in. it has struggled to enter germany, it is going into italy, south korea, japan, there are many markets it is not in. it does know where it is going. in terms of getting there, for instance, here's

an example, they have invested $1 billion in driverless cars. that is the scale of their ambition. thank you forjoining us with your thoughts today. thank you. also making business news today, more than 120 businesses — including bt, iceland and coca—cola — have sent a letter to theresa may urging her to use herfinal days as prime minister to legislate for a zero net emissions target by the year 2050. the current target is an 80% reduction in emissions from 1990 levels. some good news from the airline industry: the budget carrier wizzair has reported a 17% rise in annual profit, reaching almost 260 million pounds. high fuel costs have forced several smaller airlines out of business recently, but wizzair says it's optimistic for this financial year. the facebook founder mark zuckerberg has survived an attempt to force him to step down as the social networks's chairman. some investors wanted him to give up the chairman's role

so he could focus on his other job of chief executive. but because he holds 60% of the votes, it would only have worked if he voted against himself. let's have a look at the markets, heading to a bad end for the end of the week thanks to donald trump and the week thanks to donald trump and the 5% tariffs for mexico, fanning fears for a return to global recession. you fears for a return to global recession. you are fears for a return to global recession. you are seeing red there. if you can do this to his next—door neighbour, what could he do to other allies, one person saying. many car companies have factories in mexico and sell into the united states. that is all from me. thank you very much. thank you. the american singer r kelly has been charged with a further eleven sexual assault and abuse offences. the charges relate to a child aged between thirteen and sixteen years old.

some carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. he's pleaded not guilty and has been released on bail. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes reports... mounting charges for the disgraced singer. r kelly is now accused of 21 counts of sexual abuse and assault. in february, he was charged with ten counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. he pleaded not guilty but was released on bail. he was accused of abusing four women, three of whom were under age at the time of the alleged offences. the new charges are believed to relate to one of those women. they include counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and abuse of a victim aged between 13 and 16. the singer's lawyer said the charges change nothing, since they apply to an existing case. in march, r kelly went on us tv to strongly deny the charges he was then facing. in a tearful and sometimes combative interview, he said the allegations against him were all lies. how stupid would it be for me, with my crazy past and what i've been through, right now,

i need to be a monster and hold girls against their will, chain them up in my basement. r kelly is due in court next thursday to answer the new charges. peter bowes, bbc news. that is it for this hour. much more from tpm. right now it is time for the weather prospects. it is an afternoon with big contracts. we will start off with northern ireland and scotland, where skies have looked like this through the morning. more rain in the afternoon. brushing in across the far north of england, the rain. elsewhere, dry with cloud. some cloud breaks. this one working into south—west england. i like this weather watcher picture. although the skies are cloudy at the moment, blue skies on the horizon. the sunny weather is going to swing

hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm carrie gracie. today at two: labour suspends a member of its ruling body, peter willsman, following his comments about the party's anti—semitism row. it is almost certain who is behind all this anti—semitism against jeremy, almost certain it was the israeli embassy. we understand that peter willsman has been a political ally of his over decades, but he needs to put the as well as the party and the feelings of the jewish community first, take firm action and expel him now, expel him for good. donald trump announces shock trade tarrifs on mexico —
