the buses and subways are over 90% accessible. so, we've arrived at the station. 0h, is that station? 0k. is that the lift you would use? yeah. you just tell them where you want to go and they will put a slope down for you. when you get to your destination, there's someone waiting for you. if it was like that in london, i wouldn't drive everywhere. i've always wanted to live injapan and come tojapan. i think with paralympics coming, it's going to be a real opportunity for tokyo to learn. you must absolutely love it here. oh, yeah, forsure, yeah! time for a look at the weather. here's stav da naos. it is hotting up as we head into the weekend and for many it is a bank holiday weekend as well. you can see sunny skies over the continent. that will be heading our way, pushing

west and slowly north and east so there's more cloud across scotland and northern ireland and the far north—west of england, some of it rain bearing, north—west of england, some of it rain hearing, with strong winds across the rain bearing, with strong winds across the hebrides and irish sea coast towards northern ireland. the winds, lighter the further south and east you are. it is going to be a warm afternoon, 27, maybe 28 degrees. further north, the low 20s and the high teens well you have those clouds and outbreaks of rain. we will continue to see those weather fronts push across the north—west of the uk where we see the rain lingering on. further south and east, clear skies and lighter winds. and fairly warm compared to what we have had of late. the warm airgets what we have had of late. the warm air gets imported across our shores over the weekend pushing that low pressure to the north of the uk. it looks like for many this weekend it will be hotting up, with strong sunshine and temperatures touching the low 30s in the south—east, the

20s across parts of scotland. we will still have some rain cloud across the far north—west of scotland, may be the best of northern ireland. elsewhere, it is going to be a gloriously sunny day with widespread sunshine and hot at around 30 in the south—east, the mid to high 20s further north, 2a, 25 across central scotland. the outside chance of a shower and western areas, with a cooler sea breeze for north sea coast. 0n areas, with a cooler sea breeze for north sea coast. on sunday, similar, maybe a shower across the higher ground of northern england back most places will be dry away from the very far north with temperatures even hotter, maybe 31 and the south—east, in the 20s further north. there is a gradual breakdown heading on into next week with atla ntic heading on into next week with atlantic weather system is trying to push in. quite a bit of uncertainty about the timing of the cooler air and the rain which could move in next week. but it looks like bank holiday money is going to be another fine day with a chance of a shower

across western areas and widespread sunshine across central and eastern areas with rain arriving across the far north—west later on. temperatures down at around 27, 28 across the south—east. still pretty warm. temperatures beginning to fall away as the week wears on. the south holding onto the heat for longer but an increase in thunderstorms, showers and rain pushing in from the west with that cool air. thank you very much. a reminder of our top story... french president emmanuel macron calls for the fires in the amazon rainforest to be discussed at this weekend's g7 summit. that's all from the bbc news at one, good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. it has been an appaling day so far

for england in the third ashes test — their batsmen have been quite simply blown away in reply to austrlia's 179. andy swiss is at headingley. andy, it's been a mix of brilliant australian bowling, and some very poor english batting. i think that's right. even by england's standards, this has been an utterly horrible batting collapse, particularly bearing in mindi collapse, particularly bearing in mind i began the day was so much hope and promise, after bowling out australia relatively cheaply yesterday. also good for batting on the face of it. not the overcast conditions we had yesterday. it has been an horror show. the first man out was caught at slip by david warner, the first of four patches. joe root went for a duck. their wickets just carried on tumbling. ben stokes was out eight, perhaps

the worst of the bunch, a horrible shot from him. he went for eight. joe denley next to go for 12. he was caught behind. that was the fifth wicket to fall. england already in dire straits. just before lunch, jonny bairstow gone for four. six wickets down before lunch. a brilliant performance by the australian bowlers and a brilliant demonstration of slip catching by david warner. england need to do something very special this afternoon. if they lose this match then their hopes of winning back the ashes are over. they need something very special this afternoon. chris woa kes and jos very special this afternoon. chris woakes and jos buttler at the crease. they will be hoping they can somehow drag england back into the match. there is a dark

cloud over bury football club. they have until midnight tonight to avoid being expelled from the english football league, unless owner steve dale can prove they have the funding to continue to find a buyer. dale's been speaking to bbc radio manchester. we have made a request for the league to stay the removal from the league to stay the removal from the league based on the fact we have an interested party. we have more people coming to the table. also we are trying to cover what they require. we have gone to the public and we have said to them, look, we don't need this money but if you wa nt to don't need this money but if you want to say that football club, make a pledge to the club, not me, we're not asking you for many, we are asking you to pledge. we are there to try to save the club. i didn't put the club in a mess, i didn't it was all done before i got there. all i had done is try to save it. the manchester united manager 0le gunner solskjaer says social media companies must stop the spread of hate. it's after his midfielder paul pogba was racially abused online after missing

a penalty in united's premier league draw with wolves on monday. pogba was the third player in a week to be targeted, and solskjaer says that whilst the frenchman has the character to deal with it, more needs to be done to stop the abuse. conor mcgregor says he was "completely in the wrong," and will "face what's coming'” after an altercation at a pub in dublin. video footage appears to show the former two—weight ufc champion punch a man in the head. he says seeing the video was like a "dagger to his heart," and that he will not hide from any punishment that might come his way. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. including all the build—up to the women's semifinals of the euro hockey championships, which takes place at 5pm on the netherlands was that you can watch it live on the bbc website. that is all from me. more at 6:30pm.

good afternoon. let's take a look at a few other stories making the news. let's just bring you the latest on that fire that we were reporting on earlier. this is in notting hill in west london. the london fire brigade has tweeted to confirm that the blaze in a block of flats in notting hill is now under control — 0ur correspondent, andy moore, is here. explain what we know. important news as it is under control and there we re as it is under control and there were no reports of any injuries. this is in a block of flats, very close to grenfell tower, a few hundred yards away. it is a place called markland house, a similar age and construction to grenfell tower. the differences, as far as we are aware, it has not been renovated in any way, so there is no cladding on this building. the london fire brigade says the fire started at 11:39am on the 12th floor on a

balcony of that building. it was under control by 12:55 55p m70 firefighters were sent to the scene with ten fire engines, including a hydraulic platform which was able to get up to the 12th floor to deal with the fire. we are also hearing that it with the fire. we are also hearing thatitis with the fire. we are also hearing that it is a block owned by the royal borough of kensington and chelsea, said it is public housing like grenfell tower, the same owner. they say they are aware of the incident and they had sent officers to the scene in a sale said that they have set up a community hall in four instead as web supplies, such as water and nappies for residents. i have also seen a tweet from the fire brigades union, saying that thoughts are with everybody, both firefighters and residents who have been... well, the firefighters who have been dealing with it, and the residents who have been experiencing

a fire so close to grenfell tower. the image, the shot here, shows exactly the proximity to grenfell tower, which people might be familiar with. that is right. the cladding and plastic with the green heart on it at the moment. you must imagine what it was like for people in that block to be surrounded by billowing smoke and to smell plastic. it appears now to be rather limited incident and it was under control very rapidly but for the people at the time it must have been very frightening. thank you very much indeed. it's meant to be a celebration of art and culture, but female performers at the edinburgh fringe are experiencing sexual harassment on a daily basis while promoting their shows. numerous women have told the victoria derbyshire programme about their experiences, which include sexual assault. the union for actors says this year

they've received a record number of complaints from their members who are at the fringe. chris hemmings reports. the edinburgh fringe is the largest arts festival in the world. the population of the city doubles as people flock to shows. about three million tickets are sold across the month of the festival, with theatre, comedy, music, cabaret and much more on offer. visitors to the fringe are often lured by big names but there are also many hundreds of other productions that don't have the big budget for a marketing campaign, and instead the traditional way to spread the word is to come here, the royal mile. successfulflyering can have a huge impact on ticket sales, but now some women are speaking out against the harassment they have experienced from men while out

promoting their show. this woman experienced sexual assault last year at the fringe, and this year she is here to promote her show and she is reluctant to go out on the mile. three men who were twice if not three times my age harassed me and cornered me and said they would only take a flyer in exchange for my phone number. i felt incredibly uncomfortable and vulnerable. things took a turn for the worse when one day i was around the venue and was distracted and a man who was coming towards me pretended to brush something off my thigh and then moved his hand forcefully up my skirt. you came here to be part of a show and a big element of this is giving out flyers, so you have had to do that. i have been nervous and apprehensive and i have been altering my

behaviour and not putting an effort in to my appearance to trying to avoid any kind of harassment. we heard from other women about their experiences of harassment at the fringe. these four guys in their 20s came up to me and started mimicking what i was saying. then, before they left, one of them tried to shove a flyer down my top. i could not face going out again after that to give out flyers. i was out this week and a man stopped me on the street and started staring at me and when i asked if he wanted a flyer, he said, "no, ijust want to stare at you." the president of the acting union says they have had more reports than ever about sexual harassment. what happens when you have streets full of people there is a slight level of hysteria, which is fabulous, and one of the reasons the festival is so great, but it seems to release this underbelly of bad behaviour. we are getting more reports about it

so it is a funny mix here, a balance of that we are delighted people are coming forward but we would rather it was a world where it was not happening, so we are trying to deal with that but we have to get the people who are behaving badly to stop their bad behaviour. it is completely unacceptable. if you are worried, phone the police and they will help you. for the past week, thousands of syrian families have been fleeing a government offensive in the last opposition stronghold of idlib. the syrian army, backed by russia and iran, have pushed rebels out of a strategic town. hundreds of civilians have been killed since a ceasefire crumbled several months ago. with more from beirut — here's martin patience.

for this young boy, it is probably an adventure, but for his parents, it isa an adventure, but for his parents, it is a nightmare. after eight years of fighting, syrians are still running for their lives. this, the latest exodus in a brutal conflict that has forced half the country from their homes. there is no humanity, says this man. it is our domesday. this is what they are fleeing. syrian and russianjets, pounding targets in the last opposition stronghold of a blip. for months, the syrian army, backed by russia and iran, have been fighting rebels. —— idlib. many of them are hardline islamists, rebels. —— idlib. many of them are ha rdline islamists, like rebels. —— idlib. many of them are hardline islamists, like this man shown in this propaganda video. the rebels are being pushed out of a

string of towns and villages, once full of life but now deserted. but it is the million children who are caught in the middle. this family are packing whatever they can fit in their track. bed mattresses, a washing machine, from a home they may never return to. this man and his family are setting up in an olive grove. he has nine kids, including an 18—month—old daughter. translation: i do not know what will happen in syria. everyone is unhappy with the killing of the syrian people. we seek help from god only. for this man and his young family, this might not be the last stop. with the syrian government advancing, there are fears of a

bloodbath. in a moment, we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. tributes to pc andrew harper a week after he was killed in the line of duty, with a minutes silence being observed by forces across the country french president emmanuel macron calls for the fires in the amazon rainforest to be discussed at this weekend's g7 summit. borisjohnson says britain is also deeply concerned. celebrity chef pru leith is being brought in to help a new review of hospital food. in the business news... the haulage company eddie stobart has suspended trading of its shares and said its chief executive alex laffey will stand down. this comes as the firm looks

into an accounting error.it revealed a £2 million discrepancy in its accounts last month. more bad news for ryanair. it's come bottom of a customer services survey of 100 companies — for the sixth year in a row. respondents to the survey by which branded the company greedy, sneaky and arrogant. us toy maker hasbro is buying the company behind peppa pig. it's paying more than £3 billion for entertainment 0ne because it wants to expand its entertainment business. so the low cost airline, ryanair, has been rated the worst firm for customer service out of 100 popular british brands. passengers complained about unhelpful staff and said complaints were not handled properly. three of the words chosen to describe the company's service were "sneaky, greedy and arrogant. " the which survey also put british airways, bt and british gas near the bottom of the list.

at the top were clarks shoes, next and john lewis with customers approving of the service offered. how did you carry out the survey? we surveyed 4000 members of the public and asked about their experience of using 100 top brands and asked in particular how valid they are made to feel by the company, how they find the helpfulness and the attitude of the staff they encounter, and also how they find any complaints that they need to make are dealt with. you gave them a list of words from which to pick to make life simpler for them and the ryanair complainants picked their words, sneaky, greedy and tobacco what is the third one? arrogant. thank you very much. did they elaborate? we have plenty of stories

of people who have recounted their experiences. the words we asked people to pick from, which ranged from praise, knowledgeable, helpful, all of those positives at one end down to those that have been picked out and been popular in connection to ryanairand out and been popular in connection to ryanair and some of the utility companies in particular. that was met we found, a good way of crystallising peoples he is an peoples experiences. everyone has their own tale to tell. —— views and experiences. with rya nair, their own tale to tell. —— views and experiences. with ryanair, we are talking a lot of people who had dealt with cancelled flights in recent yea rs. dealt with cancelled flights in recent years. to add insult to injury, when they have had to deal with customer services as part of that process, they have found staff unhelpful are not able to help them because they are not getting through quickly enough on the phone. you do get those examples. the big picture story is a familiar one of heroes and villains that have often come in

similar places and surveys we have run in the past. what would be really striking information would be people who had good things to say about rya nair. people who had good things to say about ryanair. in terms of, ryanair at the bottom, who else is down there with them? utility companies often feature near the bottom. this time we are talking british gas, bt, virgin media, scottishpower. what is really interesting, it wouldn't be too controversial to say these companies have not prioritised customer service. they have not gone out of their way to make it a selling point of their businesses. it is bad customers complaining that we raise the alarm and name and shame companies like this. when you look at the other end of the table, companies like first direct and water stains and, to an extent, super markets like waitrose where he had gone out of their way to make

customer service a real selling point. —— waterstones. those who do not prioritise it deserve to be held accountable. let's had a brief romp through the markets. the ftse was doing well but not so well now. it is only about five points, down five points, my mistake! we have shares doing very well, itv and hammerson. it is definitely red definitely down. that's all the business news. glasgow university has announced it will spend £20m in reparations after finding out it benefited by tens of millions of pounds from the slave trade. earlier today, a "memorandum of understanding" was signed in partnership with the university of the west indies. the money, to be raised over the next 20 years, will be spent on setting up and running the glasgow—caribbean centre for development research.

earlier, my colleague julian worricker spoke to cultural historian patrick vernon, who said that he hoped the university's decision would encourage a national discussion about how the uk has benefitted from the slave trade. it is an important step from one of our first british universities to acknowledge its links with the past but that it benefited from the transatlantic slave trade and wants to make amends. 0ther transatlantic slave trade and wants to make amends. other universities are doing the same thing as well. to make amends. other universities are doing the same thing as weltm is either the first believed to be the first. your argument is that it should have been happening sometime ago. across the atlantic, a number of american universities have been doing it for years, recognising their links were benefiting from the slave trade as well. what we need to ask is it is great that we have

individuals who have taken responsibility. it raises a more wide issue that institutions need to consider this and i think there should be a public enquiry, almost like a royal commission, looking out britain's relationship and its involvement with the transatlantic slave trade and how it benefited from that and have a wealth has benefited british society. you will benefited british society. you will be only too aware of the debate about what the current generation should be answering full because of actions of a previous generation. how do you respond to those who doubt how much the current generation should be doing? there is an international precedent is that countries have always made reparations. reparations were given, were made by the german government, at the time of the second world war. so, each country around the world has recognised its historical past. but this country has not done so. in connection particularly to the black community, particularly of caribbean heritage. the windrush scandal, as you know,

exposed the british government and the state's failure of treating people of caribbean heritage, not recognising their british status. that is almost a manifestation of this. so we need to explore that much further. i mean, the whole debate is really important. and i think the university has done a greatjob to do that. what we need now is a wider debate in society, working with a whole range of community organisations up and down the country, who have been raising this. i mean, this issue has been raised from the time of 0laudah equiano, an abolitionist of african heritage, fighting for the rights. he raised issues for reparations 300 years ago. and the late bernard grant, mp, in 1995, had the first major debate in parliament around this issue. and, so, i think it's a long time coming. you have talked about a national amnesia over attitudes to slavery. if you were to correct that, if your analysis is right, what difference do think it would make going forward ? do think it would make going forward? in south africa when i had

the truth and reconciliation process and recognise the horrors of apartheid. it is a same principle we need to adopt in the uk. we have talked about our past, britannia ruling the waves, yes, it is to do that with blood, sweat and tears. needs to be acknowledged. it affects issues and inequalities around health, social care, housing and enterprise and recognising talent of different generations. much more coming up from two o'clock. now it's time for a look at the weather. we had been forecasting at glorious bank holiday weekend and no change to the forecast minute temperatures are set to soar over the next couple of days. hot and sunny, too hot for some of us of days. hot and sunny, too hot for some of us across of days. hot and sunny, too hot for some of us across the south—east come tomorrow. at the moment the satellite picture shows a fair bit

of ploughed in the north west of scotland. this is where the front has been bringing some rain today. in the south we had some very warm aircoming out of in the south we had some very warm air coming out of the continent and it has reached our shores and the temperatures will keep on rising over the next couple of days. today, the temperatures and the afternoon at around 27 in london, the mid 20s across the north of england, more modest in northern ireland. friday night into saturday, not a lot on the weather front were just a case of clear skies with mist outside of town. the early morning temperatures will be around 13, 14 degrees, 14 in aberdeen as well. in the west of scotla nd aberdeen as well. in the west of scotland we will see a few spots of rain overnight. 0n scotland we will see a few spots of rain overnight. on saturday high pressure is building across much of europe, basically deflecting the weather systems to the north. the jet stream is to the north of scotla nd jet stream is to the north of scotland across scandinavia, it is where the weather fronts are coming and going through. it is warm and sunny in the south. there is a

weather front here just out towards the west of our neighbourhood on saturday which does spell a bit more cloud and slightly fresher conditions in northern ireland. it is never going to get that warm in belfast, 21 degrees, 28 in merseyside and 30 in london. sunday will be every bit as hot in the south—east, 30 degrees, possibly a bit more. there is a chance these high temperatures were sparked off one or two showers, particularly across yorkshire, maybe the pennines. monday, a weatherfront is expected to approach the very far north—west of the uk. that is assigned the weather will eventually turn later on monday in the north—west of the uk. here is the weather front with freshening wind and cloud. further east and south, the hot, sunny weather continues. i would not be surprised if temperatures peak at 30 degrees once again on monday. goodbye.
