here's louise lear. we start off on an optimistic note. there are a few showers around today and in any sunshine it is feeling pleasantly warm. 15 degrees in dorset and we will see them a degree orso dorset and we will see them a degree or so higher. there are some showers but these are isolated in comparison to the last couple of days. more sunshine to come this afternoon into wales and south east england but there is a change arriving through there is a change arriving through the night. more on that in a moment. for the remainder of the afternoon showers confined mostly to the east today. still some of them heavy on the west seeing more in a way of sunshine coming through with temperatures peaking between ten and 18 degrees. as we go through the

night the showers fade away and cloud develops in the south—west. low pressure moving in so by the end of the nightjust pushing towards the southern fringes of northern ireland. temperatures holding up so not a cold start to thursday but a change in the story of the low pressure moves in. it brings some heavy rain and unseasonably strong wind especially to the southern flank of the local area so that could have quite an impact. the main moving to northern ireland into southern scotland, north—west england through the day. fairly showery through central and southern parts of but the wind is gusting 30, 40 parts of but the wind is gusting 30, a0 miles an hour and perhaps in excess of 55, 60 unexposed south west coasts. so with the cloud, wind and rain temperatures will be down a good three or a degrees on today. the low pressure continues to drift east and grinding to a halt across the north of england tomorrow. still

plenty of strong went to the south of that and that drives and more wet weather across england and wales. potentially a0 mile an hour gusts of wind and up to 50,60 miles an hour on exposed coasts and at this time of year that is very unusual. and for those outside gazebo structures, make sure that they are well and truly anchored! 0n make sure that they are well and truly anchored! on saturday a brief lull in the story, a quieter story and dryerfor many lull in the story, a quieter story and dryer for many before lull in the story, a quieter story and dryerfor many before more lull in the story, a quieter story and dryer for many before more wet weather piles and from the west gradually for the second half of the weekend. a reminder of our top story... the prime minister is forced to defend the government's policy on foreign travel, amid confusion over whether people should book holidays abroad. 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.

and stuart armstrong. there were a few places up for grabs and three of those have gone to the uncapped trio of david turnbull of celtic and also billy gilmore of chelsea and nathan pattison of rangers. turnbull has played a number of games and been one of the best celtic performers and a disappointing season for them. but patterson and gill more have played only a few games for their respective clubs, but that said they are talented young players and they will be few complaints about their inclusion. as for those who have not made it, the aberdeen defender andrew considine might feel a bit hard done by having been involved in the qualifiers and also upfront, leigh griffiths of celtic and shankland of dundee united, both very capable of getting goals but there is no place for them. but for there is no place for them. but for the lucky 26 who have made it, they will be meeting up next week and

leaving for a training camp in spain next thursday. celtic have confirmed police scotland are investigating an explosion and fire at the home of chief executive peter lawwell. firefighters were called to his property in the early hours of the morning to extinguish a blaze. in a statement, celtic say "significant damage" has been caused to lawwell�*s house, but that he and his family are safe. chelsea women's manager, emma hayes is expected to sign a new deal at the club. it comes after she won her fourth league title with chelsea and took them to the champions league final for the first time. they lost a—0 to barcelona at the weekend, but chelsea could still come away with three trophies this season. as well as the wsl title and the league cup, they're still in the fa cup and play their fifth round tie against everton tomorrow. hayes three—and—a—half year contract comes to an end injune. the fa is targeting a record—breaking women's euros in england next summer, with the hope of almost trebling

the previous number of tickets sold for the tournament to 700,000. four years ago, 2a0,000 spectators attended the euros in the netherlands. i balance with the stadium that we want to be ambitious, and believe me 700,000 tickets uefa think is incredibly ambitious, so we wanted to be ambitious, but equally we want to be ambitious, but equally we want to be ambitious, but equally we want to be realistic. whether we have that balance right, it would be great if we completely sell out every stadium and everybody says you should have had a bigger stadium, but i would be delighted. the british and irish lions have confirmed that they will have a crowd of 16,500 fans at murrayfield for their match against japan next month. it'll be the first time that supporters will have watched live rugby at murrayfield since march last year. the game on the 26th ofjune will be a warm up ahead of the tour to south africa. the decision came after agreement from the scottish government. i'll have more for

you in the next hour. the prime minister has publicly apologised to the families of the ten people killed in ballymurphy in 1971. last week an inquest found that the victims — shot during an army operation — were "entirely innocent". he had written to the families to apologise but they had rejected this and called on him to meet them. borisjohnson spoke out ahead of prime minister's questions in the house of commons. last week an inquest found frances quinn, father hugh mullen, noel phillips, joan connelly, daniel taggart. joseph murphy, edward doherty, john lafferty, joseph corr and john occur who were killed in valley murphy in august 1971 entirely innocent —— valley murphy. 0n entirely innocent —— valley murphy. on behalf of successive governments and to put on the record in this house, i would like to say sorry to

their families for how the investigations were handled and for the pain they have enjoyed since their campaign began almost five decades ago. no apology, mr speaker, can lessen their lasting pain. i hope they may take some comfort in the answers they have secured and in knowing that this has renewed the government's determination to ensure that other families can find justice with less distress and delay. mps on the commons transport committee are taking evidence this morning on the safety and roll—out of smart motorways. the roads have emergency refuge areas rather than constant hard shoulders. one of the witnesses — edmund king of the automobile association — was asked whether hard shoulders should be reinstated. if you want the safest motorways out there, the safest motorways have some of the technology of smart motorways and some of old motorways, so if you look at the stats, the

safest motorways are what they call a controlled motorway, so a controlled motorway has a hard shoulder but it also has the overhead gantry is and the technology that can warn if there is an obstruction paired if there is a crash ahead. it can warn of those things. and using the government's own figures, controlled motorways have deaths per hundred million miles of 0.06, whereas dynamic hard shoulders are 0.08 and all lane running is 0.12, so if you are arguing what is the safest thing, and ideally, if we have a vision of zero, for no road deaths, we should be engineering the safest motorways we can, and following that argument, following the statistics, then a controlled motorway with a hard shoulder, that has gantries, would be the safest.—

both of the view that the context of the enquiry has changed in the light of the court of appealjudgment and now is the right moment to convert the enquiry to a statutory footing. therefore i can now inform the house that with the agreement of the prime minister, i will convert the environment —— in quarry to a statutory footing on the 1st ofjune 2021. i have also agreed that there will be more time to undertake the work on the enquiry is now expected to report in autumn 2022 rather than summer of 2021. together these changes will give him the powers and time he needs to conduct an in—depth analysis of the decision—making processes that lead to the horizon scandal. he will be able to compel organisations to provide documents and witnesses to give evidence under oathif and witnesses to give evidence under oath if necessary. it is now for sir wyn to consider his next steps and i expect he will provide more information on his proposed approach soon. in the short term the enquiry will complete its planned engagements through may but public hearings that had been expected to take place injune will be delayed.

i have always said that the enquiry should proceed quickly to get the answer is that postmasters and their families are seeking and sir wyn has gathered evidence from key parties and engage with many affected postmasters so i have asked that sir wyn provides a progress update to his original timeline of summer 2021 to make public progress to date and any initial findings. to make public progress to date and any initialfindings. and i hope still more affected postmasters will choose to engage with sir wyn as he continues his work on a statutory footing. the enquiry�*s overarching aim is to ensure that the right lessons are will remain. but there will be changes to the terms of reference in the light of the court of appealjudgment. i have today notified the house of the updated terms of reference in a written ministerial statement. i would like to thank sir wyn for his quick progress on the enquiry to date and for taking the time to consider the next steps for the enquiry with me in recent weeks. i am pleased to confirm that he has agreed to remain as chair of the enquiry for the next

phase. finally, i note that converting the enquiry to a statutory footing and proceedings over a longer period will have cost imprecations but i can assure colleagues across the house that these are being fully considered with my colleagues in the treasury. the horizon saga has wrecked lives and livelihoods and we cannot undo the damage that has been done but we can establish what went wrong at the post office and ensure something like this is never allowed to happen again. the events surrounding the dispute had long been shrouded in darkness and this government is determined to bring them into the light. the landmark court of appeal judgment changed the context of the enquiry and following it, the government did not hesitate to act to give the enquiry more teeth and to give the enquiry more teeth and to equip sirwyn to give the enquiry more teeth and to equip sir wyn with more powers. to affected postmasters and their family, madam deputy speaker, my message is this, we are listening and we will get to the bottom of this appalling affair and i commend this appalling affair and i commend this statement to the house. thank ou.

member is across this house who have fought for justice member is across this house who have fought forjustice for member is across this house who have fought for justice for their constituents and in particular to mention the memberfor constituents and in particular to mention the member for north constituents and in particular to mention the memberfor north durham who has worked tirelessly on this issue. the campaign forjustice has been long fought and there is still a long way to go. the minister's announcement is a step in the right direction. the labour party and the justice for sub postmasters alliance have always said that this enquiry must be a statutory one. but less than a month ago, in this chamber, four days after the court of appeal decision, the minister rejected calls for a statutory enquiry on the grounds it would take three, four or five years. so can he tell us what actually has happened in this period to change his mind? the horrific miscarriage ofjustice did not happen overnight. for a decade now, we have known that there were serious problems with the horizon system, but the post office denied all wrongdoing, pursuing the victims

and imposing huge lawyers fees on the claimants. even after the high court ruling, vindicated postmasters in 2019, the government refused to act. the step has been delayed and victims lives disrupted by this government and it is important to remember that justice government and it is important to remember thatjustice isn't of itself having a statutory enquiry. the remain also a number of urgent questions for the minister that were not answered by him a few weeks ago. the government are the post office's only shareholder yet time and time again the post office was allowed to abuse its power over postmasters. this was the finding of the court, and i think this is a really important point. will the minister acknowledge the government's failure of oversight and due diligence with regard to public money? and will he apologise to the victims and to their families today. the postmasters were criminalised for a culture that assumes technology is infallible and workers dishonest.

how will the minister change that, and what are the implications? of management of human teams, relying on al or computer algorithms? we welcome any new powers as well for sir wyn and the review of scope. it was reported and seems to be in a statement that sir wyn will have the power to summon witnesses to give testimony under oath and to force the post office to hand over documents. can the minister can firmness and will that power apply to any other entity or organisation from which evidence is sought? whilst the terms of reference have been updated, they do not seem to reflect the issues raised by my onward friend, the memberfor newcastle central previously. for example, pomp —— compensation seems to be out of the scope of the enquiry. why? and who has been consulted in the revised terms of reference? fujitsu were the ones who provided the faulty software and an independent investigation second site drew attention to this as far back as 2013 that the government

don't appear to be doing anything to hold anyone to account. instead the software has been renewed and they have rewarded fujitsu with a new £a2 million contract, so will ongoing government contracts be reviewed? the leader of the post office during this time was honoured with a cbe along with a long list of others. is it right that she and others continue to be on it? the minister has refer to what he referred to as a full and fair and final settlement for some postmasters with the post office. howeverthe for some postmasters with the post office. however the £58 million settlement approved in the high court case, he will know that only 12 million of it will go to the victims. the rest will be taken up in legal fees. victims. the rest will be taken up in legalfees. does victims. the rest will be taken up in legal fees. does the minister consider that they should be considered for appropriate compensation? there needs to be a public consultation to guarantee the enquiry will deliver for all of the

victims and provide conclusive answers. the post office is a government owned company that has been found to be at fault and it is vital that improves the corporate structure of the post office to prevent this kind of thing ever happening again. it should never have been allowed to develop into the scandal it is, but all we can do now is ensure that we get to the truth and that those wrongly convicted getjustice and lessons are learned. securing the statutory enquiry will be a big victory for sub postmasters, but despite the garment�*s u—turn, this is only the start. the government have failed to live up to their responsibility and prevent the scandal occurring and they have until today stood in the way of justice. they have until today stood in the way ofjustice. i urge the minister to apologise, only government's mistake and start work to ensure that justice mistake and start work to ensure thatjustice is served and the scandal of this magnitude can never happen again. i scandal of this magnitude can never happen again-— happen again. i don't want to interru -t happen again. i don't want to interrupt the _ happen again. i don't want to interrupt the honourable - happen again. i don't want to interrupt the honourable lady happen again. i don't want to - interrupt the honourable lady but mr speaker _

received repeated assurances that the system is reliable, but as i say the system is reliable, but as i say the enquiry will be looking into that itself. in terms of what the government response to this is, we clearly recognise the impact of their convictions and that is why their convictions and that is why the prime minister and i met with a small group last month to hear directly from them and there was some incredible and tragic and terrible stories from them and i can understand why they find it difficult to trust anybody within this regard after the many, many years of difficulty and impossible situation that they and themselves have been in. in terms of horizon itself, the post office are looking into it but you cannot unfortunately just switch off the system and change mid stream but clearly they will be looking to work on the crm

system moving forward. yes, the terms of reference allow the, sir wyn to compel people to give evidence and documents and there are sanctions if they should fail to do so under the inquiries act which is one of the reasons why we wanted to give that extra confidence to people that as we move to the second stage and have more sub postmasters to give their stories that we can give them the confidence that people will be giving their evidence, and i must say, to date, still everybody related to this that sir wyn has asked has given their full undertaking and work on this. nobody has resigned from the enquiry but it's important that we do this. in terms of the terms of reference for compensation and enquiry, whether statutory or not, cannot determine

liability itself. but the sub postmasters clearly can raise the issue and i would fully expect them to in terms of the losses and the difficulties as they outline the difficulties as they outline the difficulties they have had. in terms of fujitsu clearly the post office will be looking at what they do in terms of further compensation that will include fujitsu. there are criminal investigations going ahead, so that is outside the scope of the enquiry but the gl oh settlement was a full and final settlement and the government did not have any part in the litigation, so it's not part of the litigation, so it's not part of the enquiry itself but nonetheless this is one important part but an important part of making sure we get to the bottom and sufficientjustice for the postmasters. the business minister paul scully live in the commons, and continuing coverage on

bbc parliament. let's bring you a full look at the weather now and here is louise. once again another day of sunny spells and scattered showers but there should be fewer showers than the last few days and it has been a glorious start for many. just take a look at argyll and bute today. early morning rain left puddles on the rooftop in central london, but the sunshine did come out and some of the rain was quite heavy for the early morning rush hour, which has been slipping away quite nicely. you can see the clear skies following behind with a few isolated showers developing across central scotland into north—west england and north wales, but as we go into the afternoon showers should push east and western areas will quiet down with a little more sunshine coming through as a ridge of high pressure briefly builds. temperatures should sit between ten and 18 degrees which is where we pretty much should be for this time of year. the showers will fade away and we will keep the clear skies, albeit briefly, before cloud and rain pushes in from the south—west. a significant area of low pressure

to come into thursday. those temperatures will hold up and we will see them around four to 8 degrees first thing on thursday morning but the low pressure could cause issues, not necessarily to do with the intensity and longevity of the rain but to do with the strength of the wind, on the southern flank of that low. there will be some heavy rain in northern ireland pushing into southern scotland and northern england as we go through the day. not too heavy through thursday across central and southern england and wales, but look at this, gusts of wind widely in excess of a0 miles an hour, maybe 50 or 60 miles an hour on exposed south—west coasts. with the cloud, wind and rain, those temperatures are down a good three or a degrees in many places, ten up to 15 degrees. the low pressure continues to drift eastward through thursday night into friday, anchoring itself to the north of england so the strongest winds will be to the south of that and will be channelling in the rain across wales, central and southern england and the gustiest of the winds here, quite widely

a0 or 50 miles an hour and maybe stronger, so for those temporary gazebos in your garden worth bearing in mind that they are anchored down firmly. in terms of the feel of the weather through friday afternoon we are looking at around eight to 1a degrees as the high. at the start of the weekend, quieter, a brief lull in the story before more wet and windy weather arrives on sunday.

this is bbc news. the headlines — government advice on travelling to so—called amber list countries is defended by borisjohnson, as labour accuses ministers of "confused and contradictory" messages. if he doesn't want people to travel to amber list countries, if that's his position, he doesn't want them to travel to embellished countries, why has he made it easierfor them to do so? we are trying to move away from endlessly legislating for everything and to rely on guidance and asking people to do the right thing. police searching for a 15—year—old, who's believed to be a victim of the serial killer fred west, have begun drilling at a cafe in gloucester.
