sunshine, it could fill when, with sunshine, it could fill pleasant. and thus the one here pushing across france, storm across spain. we will avoid the worst of the winter. if you start the day with sunshine, do not get used to it. rain and thundery showers. southern parts of scotland, macy rain in the afternoon. largely dry for the rest. the overall pressure works its way into scotland and northern ireland. on the southern flank, thinks brightening up for england and wales but a bit of a fresh day. blustery. not as much potency as it moves across france but still bringing showers to west

and east. some will stay dry. wet and east. some will stay dry. wet and cool across much of scotland. a big change in northern scotland compared to friday. the overall pressure m oves . compared to friday. the overall pressure moves. a quieter zone, almost in between weather systems. a few showers breaking out on sunday, particularly in western areas, heavy with hail and thunder stop western england favoured to stay dry. temperatures up to 19— 20 degrees for some. as we go into monday, the atmosphere is generally unstable. showers popping up just atmosphere is generally unstable. showers popping upjust about anywhere. not much in the way of lines that means the whent will be light. showers informing. —— wind. minor flooding light. showers informing. —— wind. minorflooding problems light. showers informing. —— wind. minor flooding problems as a showers develop. lighter showers across scotla nd develop. lighter showers across scotland and ireland. it was felt

warm up scotland and ireland. it was felt warm up once again. scotland and ireland. it was felt warm up once again. a bit of a mix between two scenarios, not quite sure what will happen next week. high—pressure building of the atla ntic high—pressure building of the atlantic things mainly dry, cool flow of winter. another scenario keeping low pressure across it. showers possible, staying fairly cool but i think the middle ground will see high pressure building across the west. we will keep you up—to—date across the details. this is bbc news. the headlines: this evening, hundreds of normandy veterans set

sailfor france, ready to mark the anniversary tomorrow of one of the most decisive operations of the second world war. the queen isjoined in portsmouth by other heads of state and of government to pay tribute to those who changed the course of the second world war in june 1944. more than 300 veterans of d—day were there, most in their 90s, to remember the great military achievement of liberating europe from nazi occupation. and, with a fresh display of courage, one of those who parachuted into normandy 75 years ago took to the skies once again. in other news: dylan was murdered by his father, evelyn by her mother's boyfriend.

now, reports say the local council missed opportunities to save them. fears for 1,700 jobs at the ford engine plant, as unions are called in for a crunch meeting in the morning. welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow morning. with me are laura hughes and author and newspaper editor eve pollard, welcome to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's ring you up—to—date with what they have to say. you won't be surprised by most of the headlines. a debt we cannot repay, says the daily mail, as it focuses on the d—day commemorations. the ft looks at the 75th anniversary of d—day, but leads on one of britain's top fund managers, neal woodford, who has apologised after suspending trading. the metro's headlines has the greatest generation, with a picture of

vetera ns generation, with a picture of veterans standing at commemorations in portsmouth. the telegraph has a striking picture of a veteran with the caption the resilient generation. the guardian leading on an enquiry into the death of those two toddlers and reports on the start of donald trump's trip to ireland, how he compared the post brexit border between northern ireland and the republic with america and mexico. and the queen hails the spirit of the d—day generation. i salute to sacrifice, a picture ofjohn jenkins taking generation. i salute to sacrifice, a picture ofjothenkins taking pride of place on the cover of the times. imean, it of place on the cover of the times. i mean, it is unsurprising that these are the images of the front page, because the ceremony today we re page, because the ceremony today were so page, because the ceremony today were so striking. let's start with the daily mail, plus a historic pull—out, which sadly we don't get, but that will be worth looking out for tomorrow. it is a a reminder that for all we say that papers are

on their last legs, and everything is going online, these other kinds of occasions where people quite like to physically have something in their hands. and i think the image their hands. and i think the image the daily mail has chosen as one of the daily mail has chosen as one of the best of all the papers tonight, because it gets a lot of the men that served in, and it has the optics of what they actually did on that day, the day that marked the liberation of western europe, and the beginnings of the end of the second world war. it is a really powerful image, and you are right, you don't quite get that from just scrolling through a story online or on your app. constantly being bombarded by adverts while you do it. yes, there is something really moving about this, and even if you don't buy a paper, which i hope you will, just to see these images lined up will, just to see these images lined up at newsagents or in the supermarket i think will hit home what an extraordinary day to day has been. i would love every teacher to buy one of these papers that covers this, and show children in their

class and say our lives were changed by these men. there is a sweet small amount looking sideways, you could ta ke amount looking sideways, you could take him home, couldn't you? obviously an amazing... amazingly brave, and you've got canadians...” was going to say, you are looking at the caps, and the second from the right you have a us veteran, regiments, and different services represented. absolutely, and behind them stand someone who could help if they need help, some of them have sticks, but they are there, and they all talked about the men that never came home. one guy very sweetly said i have had 75 years of life. some of those boys missed that entirely.” was very struck by that, actually. we played a bit of it about 15 minutes ago, something lloyd west said to me earlier this evening, when he said they had just had the anniversary of the ship on which he

served being sunk, and he said you co nsta ntly served being sunk, and he said you constantly think, and the other vetera ns constantly think, and the other vete ra ns d o constantly think, and the other veterans do as well, of your friends who never came back. and the falklands had a comparatively lower... i don't want to minimise it on any side, but a comparatively low loss of life for a military conflict involving the british, but it still stings. you can imagine how much harder it must have been for those vetera ns. harder it must have been for those veterans. being celebrated rightly in this way, inevitably it is a natural human thing to feel a bit guilty that your mates were not there. and they spoke so movingly. one man said i saw this guy die, and got out as well. and you want to tell people, naturally. there is a picture of his wife, a lovely looking girl, and you just thought how will they carry on without him, and he has lost everything, in his 20s, this boy. and they did itjust

because it had to be done. front page of the times, this isjohn jenkins, who delivered one of the eloquent speeches today. easily one of the most eloquent, not least because he is 99 himself. i would say almost ramrod straight, there he is escorted onto the stage, he didn't need any help when he actually gave his message. know, and he says he wasjust a small part of a very big machine, and again, the humility of these service men came out today. pretty extraordinary. nobody trying to take centre stage. there is no selfishness. this is just a generation that did their public service, their public duty, they didn't need to post about it on social media and get likes and retweets. they just did social media and get likes and retweets. theyjust did it, and it would have been terrifying. and even

today, in all this glory, there was a sort of humility, that actually they were just one of many. and as we said, many of whom never came home. it is an reminder, i think, particular for my generation as well, of the problems we think we have, when you put it in the context of what we have seen today, everything pales in comparison. and you were born just after the end of the second world war. when you are growing up, presumably this was still stuff people talked about, not necessarily d—day, but the experience of war was actually a living thing for so many of the people who were around you. of course, and you talk about it, people's dads talked about it, my father talked about his experiences in this country. i mean, it is quite fascinating, but they also were determined that we should live a life that was free and that was not full of that. so they talked about it, they didn't dwell on it. they would tell you funny... it, they didn't dwell on it. they would tell you funny. .. they didn't make you feel guilty about the fact you haven't experienced it. they would tell you funny story of

something that happened, they wanted us something that happened, they wanted us to have the better future. i mean, that's what this was all about. this was what all of these people said. and you can't say anything other than that they delivered, and at a terrible price. this is a very striking image as well, the front of the daily telegraph. this is reg charles, the only survivor of pegasus bridge, the first bit of occupied france effectively reclaimed. and they had to ta ke effectively reclaimed. and they had to take it, because it was the bridge on which many people had to pass. what is so sweet is the queen described them as my generation, and a resilient generation. of course, when you think about it, it is. and she understood, you felt she was perfectly in tune with today. she understood where these men had come from. she quoted herfather, who of course had been the wartime sovereign and had gone through it all with winston churchill. and you

felt that she understood perfectly what was going on today, and as we said, when they spontaneously all stood up when these guys came out, as well. and it is a reminder, of course, in terms of politics, we are ata course, in terms of politics, we are at a very unstable time. at the queen is that point of continuity, that these guys have come out of retirement to be seen. she has never beenin retirement to be seen. she has never been in retirement, she hasjust carried on and has lived through all of this. as a teenager with war, and threw right to the present day is a kind of single reference point. that is nothing to do whether you are a republican or a monarchist, that is just a fact, that possibly some of these guys would remember her father, but precious few these days have any clear memory of any monarch other than elizabeth. maxie has been the one constant in british life, and she has overseen some extraordinarily remarkable things, as she is seeing now. because

obviously, of course, members of the royal family are not allowed to express political views, but she must be just looking at what is going on in this country and the way it is tearing itself up over brexit, the paralysis in parliament and the anger on the streets, you would want to know... you would want to know what she thought. what is curious is to see if today makes any difference, or if we just go back to the absolute mess we were in before. today should have shown people... that's why i think kids at school should discuss this tomorrow, kids who won't one here, kids who come from all over the world... many of whom end up here because of war elsewhere, as your parents did. absolutely, but so many people, well, what do those medals mean? it would be very interesting to find out. why have some got hundreds and some have four? all of that would be really interesting. and rather like

spielberg interviewed holocaust survivors when he could, and interviewed them all, these guys should all do a piece to camera and talk about that day, because then we will have it on record. i have to say, i know that the imperial war museums has a very long—running project where they are talking to vetera ns. project where they are talking to veterans. a former colleague from here is involved in doing that, and mostly they are radio interviews, but some are television interviews, but some are television interviews, but they record this oral history, which has been invaluable in terms of us recording the first world war. peterjackson's incredible film is based on some of that, from the 19605, based on some of that, from the 1960s, which is there. and it is incredibly important to capture these moments. you mention the nations represented. there is a lovely photo on the front of the ft, your paper, laura, which i think is quite a joyful picture. it is also quite a joyful picture. it is also quite an interesting picture of contrast, with the faces who are

there. you have donald trump smiling, next to the queen, then president macron, theresa may. if you look at what the queen says at the banquet on monday, she made a thinly veiled reference to the importance of international organisations working together. that comes in the context of donald trump and his criticisms of things like the united nations. obviously the queen did not make that direct link... perish the thought. but it felt like a pointed remark. we know theresa may is very concerned about the direction donald trump is taken, a more isolationist approach and todayis a more isolationist approach and today is a reminder of international cooperation. the greek president, the canadian, australian prime minister, the german chancellor, the

french president, the president of the united states and even more so tomorrow with the actual d—day commemorations in normandy. tomorrow will be about memorial. it will have ceremony. will be about memorial. it will have ceremony. it will be interesting to see how president macron handles that. he captures this stuff very effectively often. a bit of private rivalry between the british and the french over this, making its link... he did stand up and say thank you. when you think of general the goal who said we should be honoured to save france, it is an interesting change. let's park that thought there. ——

harles de gaulle . the remark over the irish border? it was an extraordinary remark. he spent a few days in london and now he thinks he is the expert, donald trump. he compared the issues he is having with mexico and the design for a while to be built on the border... to stop illegal immigrants coming in. he said i get what you are going through with the irish border because i have my own issues, the irish looking at him in horror and saying it was irish government policy not to build a wall or create ha rd policy not to build a wall or create hard borders. lots of men and women died over this issue. exactly. it is a big part of our history. he was

polite and did not frame it like that but i think donald trump misunderstood the broader issue and co nflated misunderstood the broader issue and conflated the two... it was interesting, given donald trump wa nted interesting, given donald trump wanted the mexicans to pay for this well even though they did not want to, butan well even though they did not want to, but an offer that we will pay foran to, but an offer that we will pay for an individual barrier, the technology, if the irish accept it. if it could be a solution, that would help because ireland could be badly affected if we leave it without a deal. in fact, there is the technology to fix it... one of the technology to fix it... one of the big subjects of debate. some say it is that in some say the technology is not there. two brexiteers who do believe that the reason a technology solution that

make it got a bit confusing. theresa may does not believe technology... show us. give us a demo. there are many countries in europe who are pa rt of many countries in europe who are part of the eu who have raised walls around the border... hungary is the obvious example. the whole thing about europe is that people do things in their own way. some are still saying in this organisation which i think we probably will end up which i think we probably will end up leaving... i remember many years ago going to malta and seeing the issue with migrant coming in and malta has a liberal treatment of migrants, it treats them well, they can go out of and come back. of course they are on the front with the italians, and the greeks and the spanish to a lesser extent. the home

affa i rs spanish to a lesser extent. the home affairs minister in malta saying he had pleaded with other european leaders because it was supposed to bea leaders because it was supposed to be a shared problem and they all put up be a shared problem and they all put up their hands. saying they cannot sell it at home, taking more migrants. this common policy ends up being distorted. it needs looking at and also we need to understand what immigrants want and what we can do together and the one thing that america has done very well... i mean they still have a lot of problems between groups but you hear people say very proudly, as a vision americans that that azerbaijan, because everyone comes from somewhere else. even donald trump, a german—american. let's and on this appointment picture of theresa may.

it is so striking how tiny she looks in this picture. this is the last thing that she is really doing as prime minister. she is stepping down asa prime minister. she is stepping down as a conservative leader. this is one of the last... i think there is one of the last... i think there is one foreign trip... but this is one of the last big things she will do before she goes and to look... the way the guardian have put the picture, such a tiny, tiny image but, again, itjust puts on her troubles into context about what we we re troubles into context about what we were celebrating. they are printing the words of the letter she read out. as you say, she doesn't look tiny. what is sad about the guardian is that they have not done any pictures of these amazing men. maybe

they missed the trip on this occasion. maybe they are saving it for tomorrow. i suspect the front pages will be packed. whole spreads and pictures. thank you both for coming in. we look forward to coming in. you can always see the front page on the paper seven days a week. if you miss this programme, it is their a little later on the bbc iplayer. thank you to our guests and to you for watching. sport coming up next and then the weather and newsday. good evening. rounding up today's

sports news. raheem sterling explained down reports that he could captain england against the netherlands. he is in line for his 50th. the manchester city player said he would be proud but the decision is up to the manager. that is something that isn't down to the manager, it is not down for me to decide. if the manager did do that, it is something i would do proudly and happily, for sure but it is something i definitely leave to the manager. the first semi-final was full of drama. cristiano ronaldo taking centre stage with a hat—trick ina sublime taking centre stage with a hat—trick in a sublime performance against switzerland. they will play the winner of england and the netherlands. if this tournament does not mean a lot, nobody has told cristiano ronaldo. a couple of

hostile calling cards were left early. best not to do it when rinaldo plays for the opposition because... well, he is christiana rinaldo. it was not universally popular, neither was the swiss referee. hang on, don't forget about vai. keeping had scrambled? rodrigues cleared the confusion. rinaldo sent portugal through to the semifinals. a good measure the hat—trick. anotherfinal semifinals. a good measure the hat—trick. another final beckons. the women's world cup begins on friday when the host nation, france, ta kes friday when the host nation, france, takes on south korea. they open the

tournament against england on sunday, the scottish. it is an all british clash. to the cricket world cup and they were two entertaining matches today. the first saw india make their debut in the competition in front of a sell—out crowd in hampshire. they had no problems beating south africa by six wickets. like all true stars, and out turned up like all true stars, and out turned up fashionably late. the world's most watched team turned up. south africa played the game and lost them both. soon, they were lured into trouble again. for for a both. soon, they were lured into trouble again. forfor a time both. soon, they were lured into trouble again. for for a time they lost their bearing. the spinner turned south africa's middle order

into hapless pawns. south africa had a few available moves left. chris morris did his best. a modest score in the face of this indian batting lineup which featured the two best one—day batters. quinton de kock produced the goods. an act of genius. what followed was steadier. sharma plotted a slow century. alongside him almost to the end, ms dhonl alongside him almost to the end, ms dhoni. chris morris had worked hard for a wicked and he was not going to let anything get in his way, not even let anything get in his way, not even the stumps. they all count but it did not matter, just as india's world cup starts, south africa's

could come to an. that is all the sport it has been a mixed bag of weather, sunshine, showers and in northern ireland nearly a month worth of rain. through wednesday and tuesday night as well, soggy scenes like this. i am sure it has caused a few issues. the rain easing. as we see in these showers and rainbows, we have some active weather across the low country. thunder and lightning with these low pressure. it is moving out into the north sea but don't be surprised along the east coast if you see flashes of light heading northwards. the rain further ways. between weather systems it be quite cool. a little bit of dawn fog. gone in no time at all. that rain sensing across scotland.

hopefully not as heavy but it means a really wet day for scotland, northern scotland in particular. it will hold the temperatures are down. big beefy showers, slow—moving and thunder in that potentially. not as wet folk northern ireland. a lot of cloud, slow—moving showers and showers popping up across england and wales but it looks sunnier across east anglia and the south—east. a storm is brewing further south. this has been named storm miguel. it had towards our shores and we will see some unusually wet in wet weather for june. —— heads. heavy thunderstorms following behind. a lot of moisture and energy around the system but not

particularly warm. a dryer and brighter day for scotland. for many, are wet and windy day and that whether takes its way northwards into the weekend before finally clearing away. on saturday, it looks really wet for many parts of england, northern ireland, scotland. a brisk wind so we will not realise more than 18 degrees even in sunshine. rain slowly pulling away. the wind lighter by then. it will feel warm enough.

i'm ben bland in london. the headlines: commemorations take place marking the 75th anniversary of d—day, which helped liberate europe from the nazis. 75 years ago, hundreds of thousands of young soldiers, sailors and airmen left these shores in the cause of freedom. more than 300 veterans of d—day were there, most of them in their 90s, to remember the great military achievement in liberating europe.
