further questions and controversy for prince andrew in the wake of his bbc interview. he said he didn't regret his association withjeffrey epstein, the financier convicted of child sex offences. lawyers say he should now assist inquiries in the united states. whether a person is a prince or a pauper, if anyone has evidence or information that might be relevant to an investigation of a criminal case, that person should provide it. we'll be live in new york to explore what future cases could involve — and look at the reaction here. also tonight: british business hits out at both the main parties over policies on immigration and nationalisation. accusations of a cover—up after investigators who looked

into suspected war crimes in iraq and afghanistan speak out. england head towards euro 2020 as one of the top seeds — after defeating kosovo 4—0. and the man whose lens helped define the 1960s. the photographer terry o'neill has died. good evening. the duke of york is said to be standing by his decision to give a television interview about his disgraced former friend jeffrey epstein and allegations made against him personally. prince andrew told the bbc he didn't regret his association with epstein, while admitting it was a mistake to stay with him in new york in 2010 when he was a convicted sex offender.

he also denied the allegations of virginia roberts, who says she had sex with him in london when she was 17. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. your royal highness, we've come to buckingham palace... the interview has been heard, andrew's answers have been noted — with incredulity in some quarters and, one suspects, with something close to despair in the royal household. the reaction to his words in most cases has been negative. the consensus, in pr terms, the interview was extremely ill—advised. andrew was categoric about his denial of sexual impropriety with the then 17—year—old virginia roberts. she's claimed that on the night of their alleged first encounter, in march 2001, she was introduced to him at tramp, the nightclub in central london. she says they danced together there, but andrew is emphatic that he was at home. he says he'd taken his daughter beatrice to this pizza restaurant in woking, in surrey, in the late afternoon.

but how had he managed to remember a specific day so many years ago? because going to pizza express in woking is an unusual thing for me to do. a very unusual thing for me to do. i've never been — i've only been to woking a couple of times and i remember it weirdly distinctly. as soon as somebody reminded me of it i went, "0h, yes, i remember that." in the united states, wherejeffrey epstein lived surrounded by all accounts by a number of very young women, lawyers are now pursuing legal actions on behalf of those who say they were trafficked by him to perform sexual favours. they say andrew should now repeat his testimony under oath. whether a person is a prince or a pauper, if anyone has evidence or information that might be relevant to an investigation of a criminal case, that person should provide it. from those who've worked with andrew in the past, there's sympathy for palace officials.

they will be wondering who made the decision to put him on — did he make it himself or did he seek advice within the palace? my guess is that he bulldozed his way in and decided that he was going to do it himself without any advice. i'm truly grateful for the opportunity... it was supposed to be the interview which drew a line under the story for andrew and allowed him to move on. that moment is certainly some way off. there's no doubt that people close to prince andrew have been taken aback by the sheer intensity of the negative reaction to the interview. however, i understand that he stands by the decision to do it. people who know him say that he wanted to confront these issues head on. they feel that he did so with honesty and humility and they say they hope that people willjudge him on that basis. nicholas witchell, bbc news, at buckingham palace. althoutheffrey epstein died in his prison cell there are legal proceedings possible in the united states, our correspondent nick bryant is live in new york now.

what is the potential for those cases? i think the important point to make is that the criminal investigation intojeffrey epstein didn't end with the death ofjeffrey epstein. new york prosecutors made that very clear in the immediate aftermath of his death, when his body was found in a jailhouse very close to where i am in lower manhattan. they may claim he was charged with a sex trafficking conspiracy and the fbi inquiry, we understand, is focused on those who may have groomed some of his victims. as far as the interview with prince andrew is concerned, it has heightened calls for him to sit down and answer questions under oath, in what is called a legal deposition. and also to agree voluntarily to meet with law enforcement officials. those calls came from one of the most high—profile lawyers here, prominent

in the hrvy weinstein case and in this one. this case really has attracted huge attention on the side of the atlantic, notjust because of the involvement of prince andrew but also because of the involvement of two of jeffrey eckstein‘s also because of the involvement of two ofjeffrey eckstein‘s one—time friends, the former president bill clinton and the present occupant of the white house, donald trump. thank you very much. and the bbc newsnight special — prince andrew and the epstein scandal, is available on the iplayer. immigration has featured strongly in the general election campaign today. jeremy corbyn has said there would continue to be plenty of movement of people in and out of britain under a labour government while the conservatives have given more details of how they would make the system the same for people from eu countries and the rest of the world. jessica parker reports. long debated, the flow of people to the uk, the free movement of workers around the eu. he wants a further referendum, with

remain versus a labour brexit deal. so, what might his immigration policy look like? our economy and our society has been enriched massively by people that have made their homes here... 0k, a very simple question... no labour government led by me will bring a hostile environment, such as theresa may brought in. a very simple, very quick question, will free movement and when we leave the eu? there will be a great deal of movement. a great deal of movement. so free movement will not end? you'll have to wait until thursday. that's when labour's manifesto is being launched. meanwhile, the conservatives have fleshed out some of their plans. treating eu and non—eu workers the same... the vast majority will need a job offer to come and work in the uk. migrants will typically have to wait five years before they can claim benefits, and a yearly charge for access to the nhs will rise to £625. but no precise detail on numbers from a party that's been stung before for failing to meet its own targets.

if you don't fix on any kind of targets we have no way ofjudging whether your policy has been a failure or a success. no, that's wrong, because actually what we'll do is make sure that the government and parliament has got control over immigration. so we get the advantages, the benefits and what i describe as the innovators coming here, creating newjobs, but also... how can you judge if the controls are being used properly? and we also control the costs and the pressures that immigration if it's uncontrolled undoubtably places. immigration can, yes, be seen as an issue of principle. to what extent should the uk be able to control exactly who can and can't come here to live and to work? but it's also an issue of pragmatism, with many businesses saying they need access to workers of all skills levels. there's so many industries which rely on people coming here to work from other countries. so, you know, we want to make sure you've got a system that's fair, where you have targeted enforcement, so you can keep to the rules,

but we recognise and celebrate what immigrants offer us all. scotland needs to encourage more people to come and live here. we know that over the next 25 years, if we don't encourage people to come and make scotland their home and make a contribution to our economy, then our working age population may decline and that will mean lower tax revenues in order to fund our national health service. so, immigration was up for debate in the 2016 referendum. in this election, that's still the case. jessica parker, bbc news. the organisation that represents many british businesses has expressed concern about policies being put forward by both the main parties. our business editor simon jack joins me now. what are they saying? we are on the eve of the cbi conference tomorrow when the three parties will make their pitch to business. 0n the immigration issue, there are some alarm in some sections relying on these eu workers, like construction. labour have already promised to put

corporation tax back to where it was in 2010 and they stand the business world last week by their decision that they were announcing they would give everyone free broadband by nationalising bt. labour say they are the party for business, getting rid of brexit altogether. brexit will hang over all of this. getting it over with will be very important but a lot of businesses i speak to say even if we did get this election done, we still don't have to do a trade deal with the eu by the end of december of next year. very few people think that is possible at the time frame. sadly, but many businesses, they don't think they will get the certainty whatever the election result. simon jack, thank you. protestors in hong kong are continuing to occupy a university campus after some of the fiercest clashes in five months of demonstrations. they shot arrows and threw petrol bombs at police — who have threatened to respond with live fire. robin brant has the latest

sunday morning in hong kong. these protests are now in their sixth month. 0n the edge of another university campus, taken over by protestors, there's tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon from the police. from the other side, they are now using improvised weapons. the police are now trying to move in on two fronts. the tear gas is coming from there and another group there, and what you have here is the last hold out of the students. they are throwing bricks, they are throwing petrol bombs. at the moment, it remains a stand—off. for hours, both sides pushed back—and—forth. all as a handful of china's soldiers looked on, from behind the steel gates of their barracks just metres away. there were claims that both sides are now resorting to lethal weapons. the police said one of theirs was hit in the leg by an arrow fired from the university. do you think the people of hong kong support you firing bows and arrows, support you throwing petrol bombs? i don't expect everyone

to support us, but most of the citizens are ok with it. we're not asking for support, we just hope people understand what we are doing right now. for the second time in a week, i'm standing on a bridge surrounded by protestors, with riot police on the other side. earlier in the week, it was a highway below that they blocked. now, it is one of the tunnels to hong kong island. these protestors continue with their efforts to cause maximum disruption to hong kong's infrastructure. by the day's end, the protestors faced police moving in on fourfronts. hong kong polytechnic university is now under siege. the protestors who have stayed, many inside, have no way out. robin brant, bbc news, hong kong. the government and the armed forces have been accused of covering up illegal killings by british troops in afghanistan and iraq. an investigation by bbc panorama and the sunday times has spoken to a dozen british detectives who say they found credible evidence of war crimes. but the investigators say strong cases were not prosecuted. the ministry of defence has denied the claims.

richard bilton has more. across two decades, british soldiers have fought wars in afghanistan and iraq. most did their duty and came home, but some were accused of committing war crimes. panorama has found evidence the state covered up what they did. like the killing of rahid al moussaoui in basra in 2003. translation: when rahid opened a door, the british soldier was crouching behind a pile of rubbish in the street. as soon as rahid walked out, the british soldier shot him, here. detectives from the iraq historic allegations team investigated the case. they wanted to prosecute one soldier for the killing and his commanding officerfor covering up what happened, but no one was charged. this detective asked to be

interviewed anonymously. the ministry of defence had no intention of prosecuting any soldier, of whatever rank he was, unless it was absolutely necessary and they couldn't wriggle their way out of it. ihat looked at hundreds of cases, but in 2017, the investigation was shut down. along with 0peration northmoor, which was looking at killings in afghanistan. there were no prosecutions. panorama has spoken to insiders in both investigations. they say cases were covered up. key decisions were being taken out of our hands. there was more and more pressure coming from the mod to get cases closed as quickly as possible. the mod says military operations are conducted lawfully, and that decisions not to prosecute were made independently and after extensive investigation. richard bilton, bbc news. and you can watch more

on that story on panorama tomorrow at 9pm on bbc one. in sri lanka, a controversial former defence chief has been elected president. gotabaya rajapaksa took more than 52 per cent of the vote, which was split along ethnic lines. from colombo, our correspondent yogita limaye reports. a wartime strongman returns as sri lanka's most powerful. gotabaya rajapaksa is seen by many among the sinhalese majority as a leader who can keep their country safe. we don't have enough protection for the people. you see everywhere there are bombs and terrorists, day by day a lot of terrorists created here. so, we like to have a father for our mother country. in april this year, a series of attacks by islamist extremists killed more than 250 people.

what happened inside this church in many ways changed the course of the election. the idea that peaceful families sitting together, attending mass could be brutally killed shook this nation and brought national security into the centre stage. the attacks were a reminder of this bloody, epic conflict between tamil insurgents and the mainly sinhalese sri lankan army. the days that gave gotabaya rajapaksa his deadly reputation. torture, killings, disappearances of tamil minorities, the bombing of civilian areas. he's accused of them all during his crackdown to end the war in 2009. a decade later, the families of those who went missing still hold daily vigils. translation: we want to expose the atrocities

of gotabaya to the world and that's why i come here. mr rajapaksa always has denied the allegations against him and as long as he remains president, he can't be held to account. yogita limaye, bbc news, in sri lanka. more now on the election, and one of the key battle grounds will be wales, where labour has traditionally been the dominant party. in 2017 it took 28 of a0 welsh seats, but opinion polls suggest it could now could lose ground to the conservatives and plaid cymru. hywel griffith has been speaking to voters in the constituency of bridgend. for a century, labour has had a firm grip on wales, until this year, when it fell to third place in the euro elections. just a wobble or a turning tide? it's constituencies like this which will be the test. so, what will swing it? martin says the environment would normally be his number one issue, but not this time.

that's better. his wife is german, so there's something else on his mind. i think this election is ultimately all about brexit, despite what the politicians may say, it's ultimately a leave or remain vote. bridgend voted to leave the eu in 2016. what's followed has frustrated people on both sides. jo says she's a floating voter and wants politics to move on. nothing's being done, really, about our economy and looking at the nhs, looking at, you know, the homeless — all the other issues that we've got in this country. everything seems to have gone on stand still. for more than three decades, this constituency, like most of wales, has been in solid labour territory, but the opinion polls suggest that may be about to change. traditional voting allegiances, it seems, may have been washed away by the tumult of the last three years. the high water mark for the tory party in wales was 1983, when they last took this

constituency. so, could it happen again? the key to winning a seat like bridgend will be how many of those labour voters can actually make that switch, hold their noses in some cases, because don't forget, the conservative brand can be pretty toxic in parts of south wales, and switch to the conservatives? it may be a tough sell for some of bridgend's workers. the town is bracing itself for the closure of its biggest employer, the ford plant. forjason, it will be the second time he's lost his job as the company shifts overseas. it's too easy to close plants and take production away from the uk. unfortunately, i've been a victim of it twice. so, whichever party can give me support or protection for workers' rights within the uk, they're going to get my vote. for plaid cymru and the lib dems, just holding onto their seats will be a good result but it's how labour and the tories perform in constituencies like these which could decide who forms the next government. hywel griffith, bbc news, bridgend.

sport now, and the women's super league attendance record was smashed today at the tottenham hotspur stadium as 38,000 people attended the north london derby, but it was the home fans who were left disappointed as arsenal beat spurs 2—0. elsewhere, there were wins for manchester city, chelsea, brighton and everton. england have signed off their euro 2020 qualification campaign with a comfortable 4—0 win over kosovo. they had already booked their place at the tournament but this victory means that they'll be one of the six top seeds for the draw at the end of the month. jane dougall reports from pristina. travelling england fans are unaccustomed to a reception like this. intervention by british troops during the kosovan conflict has not been forgotten here. the welcome has been warm. i can't remember an atmosphere like this. it is, it's quite moving. we pass the message onto world that football is about respect. say no to racism.

even during the national anthem, it was the kosovan section's holding up the st george's cross. harmony between fans one less thing for gareth southgate to worry about. raheem sterling back in the side after the manager dropped him for a spat with team—matejoe gomez. england fans waited half an hour for harry winks to put them ahead. nicely tucked away! captain harry kane had hit the post earlier. when the ball fell to him in the 80th minute, he was decisive. then, just two minutes later, substitute marcus rashford's got england's third. that is so precise! this was a chance for england's young players to shine and in the 90th minute, mason mount scored his first international goal and it finished at four. england have already qualified for next year's euros. kosovo have a slim chance via the play—offs but for them, this match was about history, looking back over the relationship between the two countries but also making history, because this was the first time they had ever hosted england. jane dougal, bbc news, pristina.

terry 0'neill — the photographer whose pictures helped define the 1960s — has died at the age of 81. his images of rock and film stars and royalty helped frame an age of celebrity and the idea of the "swinging sixties". david sillito looks back at his work. patrick macnee, twiggy. photo shoots don't get more sixties than that, and the man behind the lens was terry 0'neill, his work a who's who of the greatest stars of the last 50 years. this image of frank sinatra striding down the boardwalk is now a museum exhibit. indeed, his first assignment as a photographer on fleet street... the first the very first job i ever had on a newspaper, i got sent to photograph a group and they turned out to be the beatles recording please, please me. and i started at the top and i never looked back. # rebel rebel, you've torn your dress.#. in the 70s, he captured

david bowie's ever—changing image. to his admirers, one of his great talents was developing relationships with his sitters. when you work with musicians, you've got to respect that it's their time, but terry got very close to a lot of people, and in some instances, he married his subject. he was married to faye dunaway. married to faye dunaway, photographed frank sinatra. it wasn't an easy life! this was one of the first stones photo shoots, but as the years went by, modern stars weren't so interesting to him. i don't know what it is, all the guys seemed to wear black suits, all the girls seem to be fashion plates, but they alled look the same. it was a portfolio that had everyone from bardot to churchill, sinatra to taylor. terry 0'neill‘s life truly was a catalogue of a golden age of stardom. terry 0'neill, who's died at the age of 81. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel.

now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello. this is bbc news. more than 200 students affected by a majorfire at a student accomodation block in bolton have now been given temporary accomodation and funds. accommodation and funds. an investigation‘s continuing into the blaze on friday evening —— in which two people suffered minor injuries. ian haslam reports. it was a devastating fire, and students who escaped the cube building on friday night are still trying to comprehend their ordeal. a lot of emotions. relief, obviously.

thankfulness for the amount of things and how many people came to help. i have lost 21 years of my life in that bedroom. so, yeah, because i lived down south, so i moved everything up. but some help is at hand — more than £10,000 has been donated to students on an official crowdfunder along with food and toiletries. when i see this, the staff, the students, everyone coming together, the whole bolton family, they are all coming together to help students. i have never seen anything like this. and it is notjust things like food and toiletries. in the back here you can see loads of clothes. male, female. coats, jumpers, everything. and more are coming in by the hour. some students have been relocated to the university's halls of residence. others are, for now, being put up in hotels. some people from the floor started were really panicking. the top floor basicallyjust melted in front of them, and quite a few people were crying you were out. it took a while for it to kick

in that it was real. they gave us a list of all the hotels that we could go, places we could stay. it is a big relief. it is good that we are here because obviously we get breakfast. it is like a nice hotel. both of your parents are coming down to see you today. they must be so relieved. yeah. the university of bolton says it is doing all it can for all those affected. very difficult timeing. they have got accommodation. they have got money in the pocket. they have a guarantee that we are going to sort their accommodation out going forward. this wasn't our building. it was a private provider's building. but we stepped in to help the students because that is the most important thing. greater manchester mayor andy burnham revealed yesterday that cladding on the cube had to be adapted following the grenfell disaster. valeo urban student life, which managed the building, says it's committed to help with any investigations. firefighters are expected to remain here at the scene for the next few days as work continues to assess the safety of the building.

it is not known when the students will be able to get back into their homes but the fire service says access will be reviewed tomorrow. ian haslam, bolton. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers we are going to take your life to hong kong and bear in mind it is 6:30am, unusual for these protesters to still be out on the streets in the pro—democracy protests have been taking place now for six months. enter the six months of protesting against rule from beijing. the scene is outside the polytechnic university campus. what has happened is the main entrance, you can see the fire, it has been set alight. police have been attempting to move on throughout the day. they had threatened earlier in the evening to actually fired live bullets. it is not the first time, there has been

an occurrence earlier in these protests over the last five months, but the threat from hong kong police fired live bullets if rioters didn't stop using weapons. you may be able to see the right hand of the screen people throwing what looks like projectiles and also pouring fluid down onto the ground where the police are barricaded in, but essentially what we are told is that hong kong polytechnic university is 110w hong kong polytechnic university is now under siege. the protesters have stayed mainly inside and cannot find a way out. we are monitoring the situation and will bring you more as and when we get it. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers henry mance, chief features writer at the ft, and the broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford — that's coming up after the headlines. time for a look at the weather with stav.

you don't need me to tell you how wet it has been for the last few weeks across the country. river levels running very high, waterlogged and flooded fields up and down the uk, particularly england and wales and this was the scene in warwickshire on sunday with further light rain at times. by contrast further north and west so sunshine appearing across parts of scotla nd sunshine appearing across parts of scotland and northern ireland. that is because of high pressure building on across the country. bringing some very welcome dry and sunny weather for the next few days and even beyond for some of us. for monday, a cold and frosty start with lots of sunshine. low pressure over the near continent affecting the far south—east but even this should clear away and we should see widespread sunshine. where any mist and fog lingers the temperature may struggle to get above one or two.

high pressure
