sir philip has previously denied any accusations against him. we can speak to our correspondent david willis who's in los angeles for us. a breaking news story, david willis joins us from los angeles. tell us exactly what is being alleged against sir philip green. court officials are saying in arizona and the tucson area of arizona, he has been charged with four counts of misdemeanor assault. what that involves is, allegedly, knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke. one of these offences is alleged to have occurred injanuary one of these offences is alleged to have occurred in january 2016, one of these offences is alleged to have occurred injanuary 2016, the other three, 2018. he has denied these charges in the past and one of his representatives told the daily

telegraph back in february that the ca nyon telegraph back in february that the canyon resort, the luxury resort in arizona where these offences occurred have been looking into the allegations and have decided to take no action in regard to them. what are the potential sentences we could be looking at for charges like this? well, potentially they are quite serious. serious offences and serious. serious offences and serious charges. each of the four cou nts serious charges. each of the four counts carries a potential sentence of up to 30 days in prison. a fine of up to 30 days in prison. a fine of up to $500 and up to one year of probation. the complaint said that to police, both of the alleged occasions when this occurred, she as a pilates instructor was fondled on

the buttocks by sir philip, by the first occasions she complained to the authorities there but it was allowed to happen on a subsequent occasion. now of course, just adds to the problems for sir philip green, the first being that he is been told to put millions into the business pension funds and possibility of 50 stores will close come up with the potential for hundreds ofjob come up with the potential for hundreds of job losses. a senior labour official has been suspended from the party following accusations he made anti semitic comments. peter willsman, a member of labour's ruling body allegedly claimed that the israeli embassy was orchestrating complaints against the party's leader, jeremy corbyn. it comes just days after the equalities and human rights commission launched a formal investigation into whether labour had "unlawfully discriminated against, harassed or victimised people

because they are jewish". labour says the party takes all complaints of anti—semitism extremely seriously. our political correspondent chris mason reports. peter willsman sits around an important table in politics, with a seat on labour's ruling national executive committee, or nec. politically, he is on the left of labour. the same wing as the leader, jeremy corbyn. this is the moment injanuary he was secretly recorded at a meeting with an american israeli author. one of these things about anti—semitism is that they're using that to whip people up. they use anything, any lies. it's all total lies, theyjust whip it up. you know, i imagine, i tell you this off the record, it's almost certain who is behind all this anti—semitism againstjeremy. almost certainly it was the israeli embassy. do you plan to withdraw as a candidate from the nec? it isn't the first time mr willsman has been accused of inappropriate remarks

about labour and anti—semitism. last summer, he was recorded claiming jewish trump fanatics were behind the allegations. but this row about anti—semitism within labour matters because it extends well beyond one man. it's provoked anger and demonstrations, and dogged the party for much ofjeremy corbyn‘s time as leader. today, labour said, peter willsman has been suspended from the labour party pending investigation. the labour party takes all complaints of anti—semitism extremely seriously and we are committed to challenging and campaigning against it in all its forms. ifjeremy corbyn and the labour leadership have a jot of feeling about the concerns in thejewish community, pete willsman can'tjust be suspended, it left to be blown over, and et back in at some point in the future, he needs to be expelled from the nec, be expelled from the party, for now and for good. and this seniorfigure

in the party agrees. if this is not dealt with incredibly effectively, and quickly, and i'm saying 14 days should be the time limit, then is the institution capable of being effectively anti—anti—semitic, or is the institution so sclerotic, in some way, that it might itself be institutionally anti—semitic? the party now has to decide what to do about peter willsman. let him stay, or kick him out. we are joined via webcam by rabbi danny rich, who is a labour councillor and was one of the signatories to a letter calling for the party to adopt the international holocaust remembrance alliance. definition of anti—semitism, which pete willsman was recorded claiming the israeli government had helped to organise.

the important thing is, the labour party like all institutions, needs to ta ke party like all institutions, needs to take seriously when it's on jewish members complain about these situations and it is dangerous when it is being represented, with him on the executive committee, trying to dismiss these allegations of being not serious, as being part of the conspiracy and indeed, this between the two could be an anti—jewish sentiment if used inappropriately andi sentiment if used inappropriately and i am notjudging this case, i do not know him personally and i have only heard his comments through the media, these do not seem to be appropriate comments for a senior member of the labour party to be making. why do you think you would say something like that, considering the timing of the human rights commission and the investigations. why would he come out with something like that? he said that he does not

understand in the worst is that he is trying to stir up trouble and further trouble because if he wants to be helpful to the labour party, helpful to jeremy corbyn, to be helpful to the labour party, helpful tojeremy corbyn, this is not very helpful. it reinforces the view that many in thejewish community and outside have had that they are not ready to deal with seriously, accusations of anti—jewish behaviour. seriously, accusations of anti-jewish behaviour. the anti—semitism route has been going on since 2016, most ofjeremy corbyn‘s leadership of the party. are you happy to continue being a labour counsellor? i am very happy to bea labour counsellor? i am very happy to be a labour counsellor because i believe in the values of the labour party. i do believe that the party needs to deal with, robustly and efficiently, and quickly, with the accusations of anti—jewish behaviour 01’ accusations of anti—jewish behaviour orany accusations of anti—jewish behaviour or any type of racist behaviour stop by but there are many saying that they are not. this is been going on for some time now. it is notjeremy

corbyn, there's a of procedure that needs to be gone through and he will have to have to go to the same procedure, people are entitled to be assessed properly and there is a procedure, sometimes it is frustrating and sometimes it is slow and sometimes it is not quick enough, but... we talk about grassroots supporters of labour, they tell you that anti—semitism is a major problem in labour. we hear of the odd complaint, but it is an institutional issue across labour. they have over half a million members, thousands of voters, thousands of counsellors, most of whom are not involved in anti—jewish behaviour. there are a small number that are involved in inappropriate behaviour in say inappropriate things, there are lots of people claim to be supporters of labour and claim to be supporters of labour and claim to be jeremy claim to be supporters of labour and claim to bejeremy corbyn supporters that are not members of the labour party with whom they have no

control. and people need to calm down a little and allow the procedures to take place, they need to be sped up, they need to be robust and seem to be fair and robust, and the labour party will emerge from this, i hope, not vindicated because it has been too slow. but will learn the lessons and make sure that it can become, once again, asi make sure that it can become, once again, as i have been advocating for again, as i have been advocating for a long time, a proper place for the jewish community to be. a high court injunction preventing parents and campaigners from protesting outside anderton park primary school has been granted to birmingham city council. it means that parents will no longer be able to protest outside the school gates which they've been doing for the past nine weeks to try and stop teachers from using books with pictures of same sex couples in them. in response to the injunction, one parent said the protests will continue, just a little further away from the school. the london bridge inquests have heard that there were "opportunities

galore" to spot that the attackers were planning a rampage before it happened. gareth patterson, who's representing several victims‘ families, outlined a number of instances where the three extremists were together and suggested there may have been potential clues to indicate they were plotting an attack. here's our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. dumping a mobile phone to avoid any surveillance, just days before the attack. meeting in the street in the small hours of the morning. re—fuelling a hire van as they head toward central london on the night itself. this is what m15 surveillance officers might have seen if they had been following the three men. representing the families of six of the eight people killed, gareth patterson qc said today, there were opportunities galore for this attack planning to be picked up prior to the beginning

of the attack. the court has heard that khuram butt, the lead attacker, had been investigated by m15 for two years, that police had seized his computers and phones eight months earlier, devices that showed clear support for the islamic state group, as well as a job application for the prince's trust. time and again, lawyers for the bereaved families emphasised how they believed that if khuram butt had been properly monitored by m15, his relationship with the other two killers and their preparations for the attack could have been spotted. for the family, dominic adamson said he was a dangerous man, who should have been treated as such at all times. a phone found after the attack had been used to search for westminster abbey in the palace of westminster before the destination was set as oxford street, suggesting the intended target kept changing.

phones seized from his home and relative showed how worried they were about him. one said, let's look out for khuram, i feel he's a bit dodge, i think he is an isis sympathiser. north yorkshire police say the seven year old boy who fell from a roller—coaster yesterday is in a critical but stable condition. the boy who suffered head injuries was flown to hospital in leeds from the lightwater valley theme park near ripon. witnesses said the boy fell from a height of up to 15ft from the twister ride. a health and safety investigation is under way. ajudge has ordered the police to return documents as well as computers and phones that they seized from two investigative journalists in belfast. trevor birney and barry caffrey had their homes and offices raided last year while they were working on a documentary about police collusion in the murders of six people by loyalists “119911. the pair claimed their arrests were aimed at discovering sources and intimidating whistle—blowers. the uk's biggest business

organisation, the cbi, has written an open letter to all the conservative party leadership candidates. calling on them to promise that the uk will only leave the european union with a deal. in the letter, its director general carolyn fairbairn warns that a no—deal brexit would cause british companies "severe damage". the headlines on bbc news. topshop boss sir philip green has been charged with four counts of misdemeanour assault in the us after a pilates instructor alleged he repeatedly touched her inappropriately. labour suspends a member of its ruling national executive committee, peter willsman, after he's recorded suggesting that the israeli embassy was behind the party's anti—semitism row. the london bridge attackers a lawyer for the victims families tells the inquests there had been lots off oppurtunties to spot what they were planning. sport now and for a full round up,

from the bbc sport centre. good evening, stephen, you should be in madrid. trying to make sure that things are running smoothly, but the global football spotlight on madrid, liverpool and tottenham have been three weeks preparing for it, less than 2a hours away. hurricane and his tottenham team—mates are in the stadium in madrid this evening. what a remarkable run to a champions league final. it was unbelievable, we enjoyed a lot, we enjoy the journey together, i think that it was great. of course, the concentration and it was a pleasure to manage these groups of players.

they were unbelievable, open to work and to pay to make the will to accept and to pay to make the will to a cce pt every and to pay to make the will to accept every single purpose and like i was saying, we are so ready, we are prepared. the occasion is massive, not only for everyone involved but for the cloud and the fans itself, just just involved but for the cloud and the fans itself, justjust how far tottenham has come as a cloud and i've managed to see it since, yes, it's going to be a very special night for everyone involved in a very emotional night for everybody. liverpool had a chance to take what is still the new surroundings of the stadium a little bit earlier on, we have the champions league final experience, the last year's defeat from real madrid is one of the six

successive finals that they have lost. if i could successive finals that they have lost. ifi could see myself successive finals that they have lost. if i could see myself as a loser or whatever, then we all would have a problem. but i do not see that like this. i see all of the other things, the rest is for the outside world that you think afterwards, i am a winner. but that is not interesting to me, that is why we are here. we want to win it but all we have. is completely forget what happened last season and start fresh. we have learned a lot from the madrid, the way they won the game, the way they went about things and how they beat us, i think we have matured as a team, we have showed how we can win games, how we can hold on to a lead, across the season we have proven why we are such. they made a rabbit and

victoria start at the world cup, getting fewer than 1a of the 50 openings to be pakistan. the target of 160 for seven wickets. watched by patrick. the world cup or everyone feels at home, but whatever the team does, they'll find fans behind them. pakistan especially. but out there, you are alone. support is a long way away when russell charges and at 90 miles an hour. this is a high—speed throwback, thomas offering a reminder of the pace and aggression that nate west indies the best in the world, fractions of the second to react, you would need slow—motion to react, you would need slow—motion to follow some of it. the water by thomas, the latest in a line of jamaicans. try stopping it. 105, all out. likely to be announced with chris gale out there, where the greatest is playing in his final

world cup. catching while you can, he is entirely safe in the stands. he is 39 now and giving cloud can put you back out, the man who calls himself the universe boss made 50 before coming to earth. west indies did the rest, finishing on a suitable high, if west indies keep playing cricket like this, their band of fans will keep on growing. he has become the first british woman since 1983 to reach the last 16 of the french open. the british number one, and straight sets to ease into the second week, not even one a match until this year, until she raced out of the blocks and served five and under an hour as she went on to serve 6—2— 6—1 and next step to the 24th scene, and that is

all for the sport for now and i'll have much more for you in sports day, right here at half past ten. mexico has criticised the united states' threat to bring in new tariffs on its imports. president trump said he would rachet up tariffs unless mexico stopped people from illegally crossing the border it shares with the united states. stock markets in many countries have registered significant falls since mr trump's announcement. from washington, chris buckler reports. donald trump has long claimed that mexico could do more to stop migrants from illegally crossing over into the united states. he has done nothing to hide his frustration, even tweeting pictures of large groups being apprehended by border patrol agents as they try to sneak into america. but it's notjust people who cross this border every day. it's a huge amount of trade and the president believes that offers an opportunity to put

pressure on the mexican government. in a post on twitter he said onjune the 10th the us will impose a 5% tariff on all goods coming into the country from mexico. he warned the tariff would gradually increase to up to 25% by the 1st of october. mexico has called the proposal disastrous and warned that it will respond vigorously. translation: of course if this threat is carried out, it would be grave, very serious, extremely serious. but i'm sure this is something that is not destined to happen. if this is put in place, in my opinion we must respond very strongly. tariffs have become a favourite weapon of president trump. he has used them in his ongoing trade battle with china with some concern on the stock market. and there are firms rattled about this latest dispute, including several of the world's largest car manufacturers who have factories in mexico

and a huge market in america. they are not alone. some in the white house are said to be worried about the potential wider economic impact and what this could mean for the us mca trade deal between canada, america and mexico. as president trump was finalising his plans, the us vice president mike pence was north of america's other border to discuss the agreement with the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau. the prime minister and i discussed the whole process of ratification here in canada and in the united states. i am assured that the president and i are absolutely determined to work with rank and file in the congress and the leadership to move the us mca forward and to move it forward this summer. but it still has to be ratified by each of the countries and these tariffs could put that in doubt. certainly mexican officials are warning that they will retaliate and that is sure to test cross—border

relationships once again. joining me now is brett ryan, senrior us economist for deutsche bank. thank you forjoining us. it is hard to get your head around how much of an impact this is going to have on mexico, but you have to look at the cars. it is not an entire car that crosses the border, if not it will be such a, not such a problem. yes, thatis be such a, not such a problem. yes, that is a great point and thank you for having me on the programme as of 2018, you have 350 billion of us import from mexico and 93 billion of that were autos and auto parts and as you pointed out, some of those parts were crossed back and forth

two to three times in the assembly process and the tariffs would apply each time essentially that they ci’oss each time essentially that they cross sell five or 10% tariff does have a meaningful impact on us auto—makers. this is certainly a serious problem if it were to be fully implemented. at the same time, the administration could potentially give an exemption for certain petitioners, that is a possibility, but absence of any exemptions for the auto industry. it is also possible that we see us auto—makers suing the federal government in court, we could see us states filing suit against the federal government for these actions and the senate,

the us senate, are certainly uneasy with these announcements today. of the last evening, so rightfully so, we are seeing the auto—makers take the brunt of the hit in the stock market at the current moment and it is certainly clouding the outlook thatis is certainly clouding the outlook that is now pricing more for federal reserve rate cuts by year and and the question remains for the fed, at least, they cannot move just on news headlines, the federal news has to see it in the data and it would take some time for the feds to get to that point. so, it is a bit, certainly throws a wrench and plans

and the one thing that is important to keep in mind is that when you look at the white house possible a statement, you can argue that it is more domestically aimed than it is necessarily punishing mexico, so the white house referred specifically to democrats and their unwillingness to work with republicans on immigration reform and linked the potential for ta riffs reform and linked the potential for tariffs to be eased or rolled back if democrats were to come on board with immigration reform and provides a modest push for the democratic house to consider the us mca agreement which the administration also yesterday filed the initial paperwork to kick that process ——

kick—start that process. paperwork to kick that process —— kick-start that process. briefly, brett, we can see this can do a lot of damage to the mexican economy, we are talking about a lot of imports but he could also do damage to america as well, because many things are made this way, crossing the border several times because it is a cheaper way of making cards. could it do damage to the us economy as well? for sure. a lot of the cars that are made in mexico are actually made for export to other countries, namely europe, so that is going to be problematic for the us auto—makers and that is going to affect jobs auto—makers and that is going to affectjobs in auto—makers and that is going to affect jobs in the auto—makers and that is going to affectjobs in the us and i think the amount of two way trade that goes across the border on a daily basis, already in the manufacture

industry, you have anecdotes of delays at the southern border because the us has reallocated some of its border resources to enforcement rather than waiting through the commerce that is coming through. it is going to slow things down in the us and the worse case scenario, where you have to go for 25% on an annual basis, that is around 86 billion in tariff revenue, which is around .7% of gdp to make which is around .7% of gdp to and the knock on effect, it could ta ke and the knock on effect, it could take it easily 30 to 50 basis points, half a percentage point of their growth on an annual basis if this continues. quite a nonsensical

method. more on that story and the bbc news. let's have a look at the weather, shall we. weekend approaching. hello again, we've had mixed fortunes across the uk, for scotla nd mixed fortunes across the uk, for scotland and northern ireland has been not just cloudy scotland and northern ireland has been notjust cloudy but it has been wet for much of the day as well where is for the south across england and wales, the cloud has been breaking up we have seen some sunshine come through during the afternoon. brightening sky is working and then as a go to the afternoon, through the night, clear skies will stay with us across a good part of england and wales. meanwhile the rain and northern ireland and scotland easing out of the way, although could stay a little bit damp and parts of scotla nd little bit damp and parts of scotland and similar stories further northwest of wales, otherwise, mainly dry and mild. temperature is between nine and 13 degrees. saturday, we have left front with us, bringing a zone of cloud in the off spot of rain in northwest

england, quite cloudy and scotland and northern ireland but i think brighter than the weather was on friday. sunshine elsewhere and in the sunshine becoming hot towards the sunshine becoming hot towards the southeast with highs of 28 degrees. that is your weather. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: topshop boss sir philip green has been charged with four counts of misdemeanour assault in the us after a pilates instructor alleged he repeatedly touched her inappropriately. labour suspends a member of its ruling national executive committee, peter willsman, after he's recorded suggesting that the israeli embassy was behind the party's anti—semitism row. the london bridge attackers a lawyer for the victims families tells the inquests there had been "opportunities galore" to spot what they were planning. president trump says he'll impose a 5% tariff on all goods coming

to the united states from mexico unless the country does more to stop illegal immigration. in the last few seconds, we received a statement from acadia, the company owned by sir philip green, who has been facing allegations of misdemeanor in the us. he has released a statement through his company saying he strenuously denies the allegations and is disappointed that the charges have been filed in his absence and they are minor categories of misdemeanor in the us. that's the statement. he is not personally required to attend before the court at the forthcoming hearing and will be presented by his lawyer. country to previous suggestions in the media, there is no allegation of any sexual assault or misconduct made by the prosecution. so that statement just appeared from made by the prosecution. so that statementjust appeared from acadia, the company that owns brands such as

topshop, dorothy perkins, sir philip green to not being charged with four cou nts green to not being charged with four counts of misdemeanor assault in the us after a pilates instructor alleged that he repeatedly touched her inappropriately. let's get more on gpc were cutting their hours or quitting altogether. they say because of the workload and tax changes hitting their tensions. many say now not worthwhile for them to continue. the figures also say a number of practises have closed in effect 138 were closed just last year a cross effect 138 were closed just last year across the uk. our health editor this report. jackie knows all about long waits to see a gp. she knew her back and neck problem wasn't urgent but she got a shock when she was told how long it would take to get an appointment at her local practice. i was told that there was no

appointments available and the earliest appointment i could get, this was back in march, would bejune. however, the books were not open, the appointments weren't actually open yet forjune, and i'd have to phone back in another month's time and, of course, you know what happens, is that you phone back in another months time and theen all of the slots are taken again. patient numbers are growing — more of them are elderly with complex conditions. there's a tighter squeeze on the whole system. so what are the pressures on general practice? well, recent research showed there were falling gp numbers across the country relative to the size of the population. a new report says there has been an increase in the number of practices closing over the last five years and doctors' leaders say that pension tax rule changes mean some have opted to leave the profession. gps are twice as likely now to retire early from theirjobs than they were previously. the new arrangements for pensions mean that the pension pot of senior gps are taxed at a higher level and this creates an incentive, a financial incentive,

for some gps to be leaving early. gps also say there's a rising workload which is taking its toll on members of the profession. so a lot of that's down to the fact that there hasn't been investment in the general practice the way it's required for the last ten years or so. that's meant that the workload has had to to go up, there are not enough gps to cope with the workload, that means the ones that were working in general practice were either burning out or deciding to cut down the number of sessions they were doing, which has made the problem worse. nhs england says there is new investment, with more doctors and health staff being recruited, and some practices may be closing because they're merging with others and creating more efficient health care. but training new doctors will take time and patients may wait a while yet to see the benefits of the promised improvements. hugh pym, bbc news. last—minute security measures are being put in place for president trump's visit

to london on monday, almost a year since his last trip to the uk. barriers have already gone up in regent's park around the us ambassador's residence, and police are braced for further la rge—scale anti—trump protests. katharine carpenter reports. in regent's park, a sense of deja vu. nearly a year since the president's last visit, the protective barriers around the us ambassador‘s residents are back, with one local celebrity describing it as trump's wall. we hate it because we use it for our powerwalks. it is exercise interrupted for us. we are very peeved. last year, the president used winfield house as his base, its garden — a helicopter pad. but one of the most senior us diplomats who helped oversee that trip says the pomp of this state visit comes with added security challenges. having him on the streets in london makes it a much more complex security operation. both from the perspective of the british metropolitan police and from the american security side. the secret service and the military is very involved.

a lot of communication equipment. flying over his vehicles. they fly over helicopters. it is a massive operation. at the peak of a presidential visit anywhere overseas, there are roughly 750 or 800 support staff on the ground supporting the visit. he hopes donald trump might find time visit the new us embassy in battersea and accepts the president's derogatory comments about its location and social media spats with london's mayor might have contributed to the level of protest seen in the capital in his last visit. this is a president who obviously stirs strong passions in his supporters and detractors. so not a surprise at all there were large protests in london. and policing that involved nearly every force in the country. 10,000 police officers worked extended shifts and had rest days cancelled so they could perform over 26,000 shifts. the overall cost was just over £14 million, although thames valley police,

essex police and the met eventually got back nearly 8 million from the government. and there are warnings that next week's visit could be even more challenging. 10,000 officers will be required. a lot of mutual aid coming in from other forces because we just don't have the resilience required. and also on the back of what my colleagues have done previously in the last few weeks with the extinction rebellion, and everything else that's gone on. increasing the met overtime bill, that demonstration against climate change has forced a rethink how resource draining peaceful protests should be policed. the capital is preparing for all eventualities. katherine carpenter, bbc london news. next week marks the 75th anniversary of d—day, the largest seaborne invasion in history, which laid the foundations for the allied victory in the second world war. 90—year—old jim radford is thought to be britain's youngest d—day veteran. he's written a charity song called

the shores of normandy to help raise money for a permanent memorial on the beaches to those who sacrificed their lives. he's been speaking to my colleague carrie gracie. in 1944, this picture ofjim, he was a 15—year—old galley boy, serving in the merchant navy. he wrote a song later, the song is called the shores of normandy. it is about his part in the normandy invasion or his feelings about the invasion possibly more accurately. he recorded it and released it as a charity single to help find a permanent british memorial to the man who gave their lives during the d—day landing in the battle of normandy. i thought it is very special to have you in today and if you could see your way to singing it for us, we would be very grateful. i'll give you the first verse. you have to buy the video after that.

# in the cold grey light of the 6th of june in the year of ‘44. # the empire lads sang out from pool tojoin # the largest fleet the world has seen, we sail out closer. # we set our course for normandy at the dawning of the day. so beautiful. thank you. shirley bassey, snakes in thejungle and romance in the backrow of the cinema — those are just some of the topics which came up when people in their 80s and 90s were asked to take to the microphone to share their favourite stories about their lives. the be heard night in doncaster was created to give a platform to people with fantastic tales who want to share them with an audience. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went along to find out more. it really chucked it down bucketfuls. we had lovely experiences

going round the world. a musical theatre was now a cinema. a simple concept — give 80 and 90—year—olds the chance to tell their favourite stories in front of a paying audience. so, our charity speaks to older neighbours in the community every day of the week and we hear some awesome stories and we find it such a shame that no one gets to hear them. that's life. backstage, stanley, who's 97, was raring to go. i hadn't heard that. many people enjoy talking about themselves and i am no different to anyone else. i like talking about myself. and as for sally, she was going to share stories about her life in showbiz with her late husband larry. this is like britain's got talent. here we are in the corridor right next to the stage. how do you feel? i feel fine, thank you. no nerves? no nerves whatsoever. whispers: do you mind us asking how old you are? i am 90 this year. 90? and they were off. and then we did all the liners. sally telling the audience about working with shirley bassey,
