them prices any more. they've got out of reach. we have shopped in them before, and the kids get lots of games out of there, don't you? yeah. lots of board games and stuff. it's good for them to be back open. it's been too long, hasn't it? with storerooms bursting at the seams, shoppers can cash in on the windfall. colletta smith, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. good afternoon. we have quite whether at the moment and high pressure in charge keeping most parts of the country fine and dry. we have called out trapped across the uk and france to start this morning but there is a bit of warmth coming through in any sunshine today. the cloud has been bubbling up today. the cloud has been bubbling up just threatening a few showers

here and there perhaps in the south west of scotland or north—west of england. many places will have a dry day with sunny spells and the wind quite light. temperatures still only around 12 or 13 degrees which is a little below average for the time of year. most of the showers across south wales and the far south of england. but there is away this evening and overnight it is turning dry and clear with some mist or fog patches around. a frost across many parts of the country. lowest temperatures probably “4 or 5 degrees across southern scotland and northern england. any mist and fog will not last and we do have cloud bubbling up again and more showers feeding and across east anglia and

the south east. elsewhere it is dry and for many the wind is light. a cool breeze across the south—east. temperatures lower than today. the highest temperatures in the west of scotland, 1a, 15 degrees and in the sunshine that is not too bad. we still have high pressure and charged towards the end of the week keeping the weather fronts and pay for the time being so it looks like it will be another cold start to friday and a lot of sunshine to begin the day. cloud bubbling up over land and spreading out so the best of the sunshine around coastal areas in the afternoon. the wind light again and temperatures just about into double figures. as we head into the weekend these weather fronts are hanging around in the north—west and threatening some cloud and rain into the west of scotland and northern ireland. the rest of the uk should have a dry weekend with some sunshine from time to time and the wind lighterfor england and

sunshine from time to time and the wind lighter for england and wales. temperatures near normal for the time of year and not quite as cold overnight which is good news for the gardeners. a reminder of our top story... pressure builds on david cameron, as mp's prepare to vote on a parliamentary inquiry into the former prime minister's lobbying. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon. your latest sports news... northern ireland's women can start preparing for a major finals for the first time. they've reached next year's european championship, after beating ukraine in a playoff. already leading from the away leg, they won 2—0 in belfast, nadene caldwell making it 4—1 on aggregate — and that was against a nation ranked 25 places above them. it's an incredible achievement for a side made up mostly

of part—timers and a team that only reformed 17 years ago. there are no words to describe it, to be a part of this with this group of girls, it is one of the best days of my life. the character and fight and determination shown from everybody involved tonight shows what we are about. it wasn't the prettiest of games by any means, but we knew what we had to do tonight and we got the job over the line and now we have european finals to look forward to, so bring it on. manchester city's preparations for this evening's champions league quarterfinal in germany were hampered last night after a series of fireworks were let off outside their team hotel. the clubs says on two occassions players and staff were woken up before a third attempt was stopped by their own security. city are 2—1 up against borussia dortmund from the first leg and are chasing what would be a historic quadruple. the champions league is the only

major trophy pep guardiola is yet to win at the club, something he's well aware of. this is a business, and a business is business and business is to win. if we don't win i will be a failure, and if we win, it will be how good is pep? the six—time winners liverpool have much more to do than city if they're to reach the semifinals, where chelsea await. they go into tonight's second leg against real madrid at anfield 3—1 down from the first game. after six straight defeats at home, liverpool did manage to return to winning ways against aston villa at the weekend. there've been miracle comebacks at anfield before — most recently in 2019 when they came from 3—0 down to knock barcelona out of the tournament, though there won't be any fans to roar them on this evening. you don't get a comeback because you had a comeback in the past, you only can have a chance if you play really good football in the present and that is what we have to do.

the best situation would be if we don't bring ourselves in a situation that we need to come back, but obviously that is not worth talking about now, but the situation is clear, that is why this competition is so interesting. and it's 100 days to go until the start of the olympic games in tokyo — and the build up has been unusual, to say the least. a year's delay, and doubts over whether it would go ahead at all. for the athletes, it's been incredibly unsettling — and with no overseas spectators allowed, two—time olympic taekwondo championjadejones says it'll be a very different experience this summer. my family have travelled to every olympics, even the youth olympics when it first started, and every time i come out to fight i see their faces screaming for me and cheering me on that really does make a difference to me. it kind of shows just how big this pandemic is, but i'm just seeing it as how amazing would it be to come running through the door and bring that gold medal home to all the family. i know they will be cheering me on and willing me on, and itjust brings a big buzz

to the country, to my family as well, to come back with that third gold medal. mark cavendish has won his third stage in a row at the tour of turkey. he was in the leading pack and avoided a pile—up in the final metres, sprinting to victory on stage four to kemer. after waiting for three years for his win on monday, he's making it look routine again. cavendish has an overall lead of 12 seconds, but that may well be lost in tomorrow's stage, which takes the riders into the mountains. that's all the sport for now, but there's more on the bbc sport website, including the latest from today's europa league news c0 nfe re nces . i'll be back with more later. good afternoon. you're watching bbc news. i amjane hill to try —— to

take you through the coverage. there is lots of talk about but we are focusing on events at westminster today. an opposition day debate on lobbying is under way in the commons — ahead of a vote this afternoon on whether to establish a parliamentary inquiry into the lobbying activities of the former prime minister david cameron. labour says a government investigation into mr cameron's work for the collapsed firm greensill capital — and the responses of current ministers — is insufficient. tory mps have accused labour of political opportunism. shadow cabinet office minister rachel reeves opened the debate a short time ago. if mps if mps vote with this motion, a proper investigation can take place. led by a team with the confidence of this house. someone hand—picked from the board of one of the government departments embroiled in this scandal —— not someone hand—picked.

but if they vote against it, as the prime minister has told you all to do, i am sorry to say that they too will be part of the government was not attempt to cover up tory sleaze. all members here today should reflect on who they are here to serve, their constituents and their country, or narrow party political interests. responding for the government was the minister for the cabinet office chloe smith. we are opposing the motion today because _ we are opposing the motion today because it — we are opposing the motion today because it seeks to duplicate the work_ because it seeks to duplicate the work that— because it seeks to duplicate the work that is already in the gift of parliament and its committees, and as i will_ parliament and its committees, and as i will set— parliament and its committees, and as i will set it now, work that is already— as i will set it now, work that is already being undertaken by the government. starting with the effectiveness of existing lobbying legislation, we are currently conducting post—legislative scrutiny, part one of the transparency of lobbying around party _ transparency of lobbying around party campaigning and the trade union_ party campaigning and the trade union and — party campaigning and the trade union and admits reaching out for

motion, they have put to parliament, tory mps have a choice she said to set up an independent inquiry that could look into broad issues of lobbying because what rachel reeves said was that she said it takes two to tango, for every former minister lobbying, it takes a current one to pick up the phone and act. she says that enquiries should be independent, by mps, in the open, should be able to draw witnesses and evidence. forthe should be able to draw witnesses and evidence. for the other side, you hear the government and cabinet office minister chloe smith there saying this isn't needed because they are already parliamentary committees and because the government has this inquiry set up and that is what labour says we doesn't go far enough. we and that is what labour says we doesn't go far enough.- and that is what labour says we doesn't go far enough. we will hear eve hinu doesn't go far enough. we will hear everything in _ doesn't go far enough. we will hear everything in the — doesn't go far enough. we will hear everything in the commons - doesn't go far enough. we will hear everything in the commons in - doesn't go far enough. we will hear everything in the commons in just l doesn't go far enough. we will hearj everything in the commons in just a moment. just a quick thought about how this all works and what time we

might have votes, just remind us of the procedures here. aha, might have votes, just remind us of the procedures here.— the procedures here. a little later this afternoon, _ the procedures here. a little later this afternoon, basically, - the procedures here. a little later this afternoon, basically, we - the procedures here. a little later this afternoon, basically, we willl this afternoon, basically, we will get a vote and we know, on whether to set up this new committee, we know the government has told conservative mps that they should vote against this motion and for the labour party that means it will probably fail, their attempt, but they will turn around and point to this and say they're a chance to have an independent inquiry have been blocked. their line is if the government has nothing to hide why not have an independent inquiry, why not have an independent inquiry, why not tackle lobbying generally was mike chloe smith said there are rules in place but have been in place for some years in efforts to do that, but labour isn't satisfied with the committee or the review has set up with the chairman of that who they say is too close to the conservative party.- they say is too close to the conservative party. they say is too close to the conservative pa . . , . conservative party. thanks very much for now. damian _

tooth and nail to access financial support during this pandemic, it is insulting that corporations who could have hoped to have are prime minister on the payroll can have cosy fireside chats with those at the very top of government. my constituents, madam deputy speaker, in east hull, expect better than this. they expect whatever the party in power government should be run on the principles of honesty, decency and commitment to public service. not government by whatsapp and billions of pounds of public money dished out to friends and donors of the tory party. that's why, that's why, madam deputy speaker, we cannot allow the government to mark their

own homework with a whitewash review. a review that we know what the findings will be before it's even begun. we need a full parliamentary inquiry to get to the bottom of this scandal, and inquiry with power, teeth. one that will give taxpayers and the many thousands of people whose livelihoods are now at risk due to greensill cosmic collapse the explanations and justice they fully deserve full stop —— greensill�*s collapse. those who have nothing to hide will have nothing to fear. members on the opposite benches need to think long and hard about which way they will vote today. will they vote to sweep this all under the

carpet in the hope that it willjust move on? or will they do the decent thing? but standards in public life in this country before their party's interest and vote for transparency and fairness? i'm sincerely hoping that we will see some backbone from mps that we will see some backbone from mp5 on the opposite benches when the division bell rings later today. thank you. division bell rings later today. thank you— division bell rings later today. thank yon— ll division bell rings later today. i thank you._ i think thank you. john penrose. i think there is a _ thank you. john penrose. i think there is a widespread _ thank you. john penrose. i think there is a widespread consensus| there is a widespread consensus across the house that this is a very difficult moment and one which is causing great concern, but there is a widespread disagreement about how to take it forward and i have been much struck by my honourable friend the select committee chair�*s point that what is being processed something which his committee already has the powers to do and that he is standing ready to fill in

the gaps that he feels may be left and his committee feels may be left as a result of inquiry which is being asked. between those two things i can see no reason to support the motion today. however, because there is such an important underlying issue here, because they're such important and central questions about the future of our democracy and the probity, the legitimacy of our system, there are various, important points need to be made and i hope the mouse will be able to address she gets to her feet at the end of this. —— i gathered on the website today a submission i made to the committee on standards in public like current inquiry will be made public in due course, sol am not pre—empting it in here. it has a series of proposals about how we should improve things going forward around lobbying and much else. in fact, the ministerfor the constitution in her earlier remarks said there are already some post—legislative scrutiny work going on around the lobbying act which i

contributed to. i want to share with everyone here in the brief time i have some of the things which i believe could usefully be done to improve the lobbying act. it has many strengths. it has an enormous amount of things are meant to see importantly well. but it is now seven years old and it is time to review it and time to move it on. dorothy things i think we could usefully do quite apart from the current concerns of a greensill which we should do. to start with, the current disclosures of her ministers meet and when which we already heard from various people are tremendously important as the foundation stone for conspiracy and disclosure, those disclosures don't happen fast enough. they aren't complete and up. they aren't mutually comprehensible and machine—readable and searchable machine—readable and sea rchable enough machine—readable and searchable enough and as a result it is much too difficult at the moment to link up too difficult at the moment to link up three ministers have met with with who the lobbyists are working for, with who is limiting money to

which political party. all those understandable and searchable and identifiable in order for the system to work well. they don't at the moment and it is a sensible change and one which we should introduce immediately. the second thing we should also do is capture more people in those disclosures. ministers and senior civil servants, permanent secretaries and the like. there are other people whose opinions matter and who will seek to be being influenced by lobbyists no matter who is doing lobbying. those are political advisers, spuds, but also a whole slew of other civil servants below the rank of permanent secretaries and their meetings all should be disclosed and the topics disclosed in the same way. equally when it comes to the register for consulting lobbyists, people will have seen the proposed that everybody who was doing lobbying should be included in that register. that seems to me to be overkill. if

somebody comes from rolls—royce to speak to a minister we all know on whose behalf they are lobbying. they are lobbying on behalf of rolls—royce. simply putting them to register for consulting lobbyists won't improve things. whereas disclosing what they talked about, why they talk about it and any conclusions that were reached would make a huge difference. equally foreign agents, people working on behalf of foreign powers who are not part of the diplomatic call of that country should also be disclosed as well. finally, the about to be reappointed by master adviser of special interests, they have the power to launch independent investigations as well, we wouldn't need this debate today at all because i would have found already. john penrose. we are very much keeping an eye across this throughout the afternoon. we will leave that coverage they are. our political correspondence watching it as well. if you would like to continue watching that debate in the commons

in full you can do so over on bbc parliament. the vote a little bit later on this afternoon. we have had another tribute in the last few minutes being paid to the duke of edinburgh. we have had what i think are the first comments from another of his grandchildren, this is from princess usually, posted on instagram —— eugenie. she says, thank you for your dedication and love for us all, and especially granny, we will look after for you. the duke of edinburgh, who died on friday at the age of 99. member nations are continuing for his funeral which will be held in windsor this saturday. —— commemorations are continuing.

president biden says he will withdraw all us forces from afghanistan by 11th september — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. the trump administration had previously decided on a complete military exit by may, following negotiations with the taliban. here's our chief international correspondent lyse doucet. for many months now, president trump really started focusing on the withdrawal of his last few thousand us troops. afghans and foreigners alike said, we've got to avoid the mistakes of history, and there was an echo of the soviet troop withdrawal in 1989 which sadly paved the way to the collapse of the government and a civil war which went then pave the way to the taliban, and for so many, they were saying we cannot repeat the mistakes of the past and this is really

a legacy that afghanistan wants to ensure doesn't happen again but beyond all expectations, your afghanistan is again a withdrawal of the last 10,000 us led nato forces leaving the taliban poised to return to power and the afghans i've been speaking to after the announcement was first revealed are all saying they fear again a civil war and had hoped there would be some conditions attached to the troop withdrawal but the senior us administration official journalist was adamant the conditions up to last through two years have not for america to close the book on this 20 year war. it may be one of the uk's most remote communities

but tiny fair isle — with a population ofjust 48 people — can now claim to be one of the safest. the scottish island — located between orkney and shetland — is known for its knitwear. this week, vials of astrazeneca vaccine were flown in on a small plane, meaning every adult on the island was able to have their second dose. jen stout reports. touchdown. the lifeline plane reaches fairisle with a very special cargo. enough vials of vaccine to give the whole adult population a second dose. sharp scratch. from 18 to 85, everyone is covered. it's probably one of the safest places in the country, really. you know, we can decide whether people come in or not. there is no visitors come on the boat. and as i say, they have been very good about controlling it, keeping people from coming on the plane.

with fairisle being 25 miles from mainland shetland, the decision was taken to fly in the vaccine doses. fairisle was one of those areas of the uk where there were no confirmed covid cases, so we felt it was really important to maintain that. we were very keen that we went in and we took the vaccination programme for all those that were entitled in one go. it is a big relief for the 48 strong population. i wasn't aware of anything, just stuck it in and that was that. delighted. we're getting everyone that wants i it, and it has been great for us, i great for the island as a whole. i it will give us more confidence. as we stuck to hopefully get back towards a bit more of a normal life. it's been great because we've had ten days without a boat, so the boat managed to come in yesterday, so we then had the boat and a full shop, and we have had a second vaccination today, so the sun is out and the lambs are coming,

so they have been over the moon. it is a glimmer of hope for this most welcoming of islands, looking to better more sociable times ahead. jen stout, bbc news, fairisle. we arejust we are just hearing the government is going to launch a consultation to look into essentially further to paraphrase, with the people who work in care homes with older adult residents have to have had a covid vaccine in order to work there. the government says it will be a five—week long consultation looking into whether care homes that have older adult residents in england might essentially oblige staff or how they're putting it here only deploy staff who have had a covid—19 vaccination. it will be a five—week long review. perhaps you will hear more about that in the next little

while. that government consultation just announced in last few moments. hello. another chilly day today. not too bad in the sunshine and light winds but we have seen the cloud building up producing a few showers mainly across south wales and the south—west of england. temperatures 11 or 12 or 13, a bit cooler around some of the north sea coasts. any showers tend to fade away this evening and overnight we will have clearing skies, a few mist and fog patches. more cloud coming in from the southern north sea may be bringing the odd shower to coastal areas of east anglia and kent but another cold night. a touch of frost in many areas. the lowest temperatures northern england and southern scotland. a sunny start for many places. cloud developing but more likely to find some showers in lincolnshire, east anglia, the south—east, perhaps the east midlands and down towards hampshire. elsewhere it will be fine and dry. winds light for many. a gentle breeze from the east in glasgow means the highest temperatures across western parts of scotland probably but the much cooler breeze coming in for east anglia and the south—east.

temperatures lower than today.

this is bbc news, i'mjane hill. the headlines at 2:00: pressure builds on david cameron, as mp5 prepare to vote on a parliamentary inquiry into his lobbying — labour claims there's a revolving door between government and paid lobbyists. i do think it is a good idea, in principle, that top civil servants should be able to engage with business and should have experience of the private sector. when i look at the accounts i'm reading today, it's not clear that those boundaries had been properly understood. the greensill scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. dodgy contracts, privileged access, jobs for their mates — this is the return of tory sleaze. a uk covid trial testing different types of vaccine

for the first and second dose is being expanded
