hadn't been widely shared. daniel sandford, thank you very much. and you can see much more on that over the course of the afternoon on the bbc news channel. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz shafernaker. hello, and good afternoon, i am so delighted to bring you a forecast full of optimism, we have been advertising for days that the weather is set to improve and, indeed, it is, it will be increasingly sunny and warm. but not at the moment, there is a bit of a blip in the weather, across central and western areas of the uk. there is a weather front here and currently, it is stuck. the reason why it is stuck is because it is riding up against this area of high pressure and there are a number of weather fronts. pressure and there are a number of weatherfronts. and pressure and there are a number of weather fronts. and as they approach the high pressure, they slow down. think of the high pressure as a mountain so as a weather front approaches with a building area of high pressure, it tends to slow

down. so what is going to happen with it? well, there is no wind to pushit with it? well, there is no wind to push it so it sits across western areas with bits and pieces of rain, the best of the weather is across northern and eastern areas. and basically through today and into tonight, this weather front will just need to rain itself out and it will need to be stretched and it will need to be stretched and it will disintegrate and we will be left with a legacy of cloud tonight and into tomorrow morning. and that legacy of cloud will linger around for some of us on saturday so many of us tomorrow no doubt will wake up and look at the skies, it will be overcast in the morning and wonder, where is that one sunshine we were promising you? well, on saturday, we will see that transition period, so we still see a fair bit of cloud in the morning, possibly into the afternoon, with local showers around across eastern areas, only very local. but overall, a better and a bright day with temperatures up to 20 degrees. on sunday, sunday is the day when we will see blue skies

across the uk with that high pressure firmly in charge of the weather, temperatures widely into the 20s across the uk, belfast 20, the 20s across the uk, belfast 20, the north of scotland the low 20s, possibly 23 or 2a degrees in the south of the country. and that high is well and truly established across the uk, scandinavia and parts of europe. in fact, the high pressure is a vortex in itself and it draws warm air from the south so the warm air will be spreading right across the country from the southern climes during the course a bank holiday monday and the weather front will not be making any progress towards the east. that means temperatures again widely into the 20s, 23 celsius expected on bank holiday monday in glasgow and also 23 or 2a in london. and the fine weather at last into next week as well. thank you very much. 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. hello and very good afternoon. you are still watching bbc news, we will stay with the news that broke just in the last 15 minutes or so, because an inquestjury has found that jack merritt and saskia jones were unlawfully killed by the convicted terrorist usman khan. this is the fishmongers hall attack which happened in london in november 2019. thejury of 11 concluded happened in london in november 2019. the jury of 11 concluded that emissions and failures in the management of usman khan as an offender in the community by agencies of the state contributed to the death of jack merritt and saskia jones. this is only coming through in the last half—an—hour, daniel, bring us right up—to—date with what

has been found and the initial comments in this case. this has been found and the initial comments in this case. this was an extraordinary _ comments in this case. this was an extraordinary story _ comments in this case. this was an extraordinary story of _ comments in this case. this was an extraordinary story of a _ comments in this case. this was an extraordinary story of a convicted i extraordinary story of a convicted terrorist who came out of prison and within less than a year had managed to carry out terrorist attack which killed two young people at an iconic location right in the centre of london. this was a man who was still under incredibly strict licence conditions, a curfew, there were rules about where he could go, he had a whole team monitoring his behaviour, a team called a multi—agency public protection arrangements, who met every six weeks to discuss any risks he might pose. there was also an m15 counterterrorism police investigation going on into him because he was regarded as a priority three candidates for investigation, somebody who they need to check whether or not he was going to carry out terrorist attack after his release. because there were some key intelligence,

unverified and uncorroborated, but key intelligence received a month before his release from prison, which said there was the possibility he intends to carry out an attack after his release. when you go into these inquests, you are never quite sure how the evidence will unfold. for seven weeks, we have heard details of his behaviour in prison, of how he was managed on release from prison, of how the key bits of intelligence about him were handled. and bit by bit, the families of saskia jones and jack merritt have become more and more horrified by what they have heard. and the jury, it seems, have also agreed with the families, because when asked three questions, three key questions, the jury questions, three key questions, the jury had concluded that the management of usman khan in the community has contributed to the deaths of saskia jones and jack merritt, the failure to share intelligence properly has contributed to the deaths of saskia jones and jack merritt and also the

security arrangements at fishmongers hall had contributed to the deaths of jack merritt and saskia jones. all in all, it has been a damning set of conclusions after weeks of evidence. �* , ., set of conclusions after weeks of evidence. �* ,., . ., set of conclusions after weeks of evidence. �* . ., ., evidence. and so much of what we have heard — evidence. and so much of what we have heard has _ evidence. and so much of what we have heard has been _ evidence. and so much of what we have heard has been so _ evidence. and so much of what we have heard has been so upsetting, evidence. and so much of what we i have heard has been so upsetting, so distressing. what will this mean for those various agencies you have mentioned there, you have talked about the criticisms, what will that mean going forward so that, one hopes, another individual like ten —— usman khan couldn't reach that sudden havoc again? -- usman khan couldn't reach that sudden havoc again?— sudden havoc again? during the evidence, sudden havoc again? during the evidence. we — sudden havoc again? during the evidence, we have _ sudden havoc again? during the evidence, we have heard - sudden havoc again? during the evidence, we have heard a - sudden havoc again? during the evidence, we have heard a lot l sudden havoc again? during the - evidence, we have heard a lot about how changes have already been made and it was accepted by the chief probation officer of england and wales that the multi—agency public

protection agency had not really work properly. one of the things that had happened was that there would be lengthy discussions if usman khan should be allowed to do a dumpster truck course and it was decided he couldn't do a dumper truck course as he may choose to vehicle as a weapon. but it doesn't seem there were discussions about whether he would be able to travel to london on a train. he was banned from attending travel matching stations are needed special dispensation for this trip to london. there has been a big overhaul of how those arrangements are going to happen going forward, and particularly to ensure that if there is any secret intelligence about one of the people they are discussing, that secret intelligence is fully discussed at least by some members of the panel, and particularly by the chairman of the panel. in this case, the chairman of the panel was wholly unaware of the fact that m15 were investigating usman khan and unaware of this key

attack planning intelligence, intelligence that usman khan may intend to out after his release. they has also been an overhaul of the automatic release of terrorist prisoners from prison, because one of the sad tragedies of this case is that usman khan when he was originally sentenced was given a sentence that meant he could not be released from prison until the parole board were satisfied that he was not threat to the public. that is changed on appeal and he was given a definite sentence, meaning after 80 years, he had to be released from prison. the parole board had no say about that, and so he came out of prison, assessed as high risk, throughout prison career, he was category a risk, radicalise and leader of extremists in prison, involved in violence in prison with this key bit of intelligence and nobody could do anything about letting him out of prison and once out there in the community, then he was being regularly visited by a probation officer and police

officers, but they became involved in should he be trying to get a job, are we worried about getting a job? but nobody seemed to be stopping and thinking, should we allow him to travel alone to london on a train? and clearly there will be once again questions asked and hopefully some more changes made within the security establishment as well, the sharing of information by m15, because this key bit of information was not shared and nobody is quite sure why it was not shared. daniel, thank ou sure why it was not shared. daniel, thank you very _ sure why it was not shared. daniel, thank you very much _ sure why it was not shared. daniel, thank you very much for _ sure why it was not shared. daniel, thank you very much for now. - sure why it was not shared. daniel, thank you very much for now. he i sure why it was not shared. daniel, i thank you very much for now. he has followed that inquest throughout are expecting a number of people and agencies involved in this case to give statements over the course of this afternoon, so as soon as we get those, we will bring those straight to you. until those begin, daniel has also been speaking to jack's parents and he asked them about responsibility for managing usman

khan. let's hear that interview. ultimately it is the government's responsibility, it is the first responsibility, it is the first responsibility of the government to keep its citizens safe. and we know that usman khan, his sentence was changed into thousand 13 and he was given a release date, so he was originally due to be held indefinitely and only released when the parole board considered it safe to do so. —— in 2013. he appealed into thousand 13 and the judge agreed he is a limited risk of doing what he was at risk of doing so, setting up a training camp, and in sale, and he was given a release date. —— and terrorism in sale. they knew what his record was, they knew his record in prison which is terrible, he was involved in violence, and trying to radicalise

other prisoners and threatening people and holding so—called sharia courts and so forth. and he was assessed by a psychologistjust before he was released as being high risk. �* ., ., ., risk. and more at risk than when he went in. risk. and more at risk than when he went in- yes. _ risk. and more at risk than when he went in. yes, more _ risk. and more at risk than when he went in. yes, more of _ risk. and more at risk than when he went in. yes, more of a _ risk. and more at risk than when he went in. yes, more of a risk - risk. and more at risk than when he went in. yes, more of a risk when l risk. and more at risk than when he l went in. yes, more of a risk when he was released — went in. yes, more of a risk when he was released and _ went in. yes, more of a risk when he was released and when _ went in. yes, more of a risk when he was released and when he _ went in. yes, more of a risk when he was released and when he went - went in. yes, more of a risk when he was released and when he went into| was released and when he went into prison and there was a definite threat that he would go back to his old ways and that he was planning an attack. so with all that information, you would have thought that the authorities would have put in place a system to monitor and manage him effectively and keep the public safe. and they failed to do that. . . . public safe. and they failed to do that. , ., , ., ,., public safe. and they failed to do that. ,., , ., ., that. tell us a bit about jack and his enthusiasm _ that. tell us a bit about jack and his enthusiasm for _ that. tell us a bit about jack and his enthusiasm for the _ that. tell us a bit about jack and his enthusiasm for the work - that. tell us a bit about jack and his enthusiasm for the work he i that. tell us a bit about jack and i his enthusiasm for the work he was doing and setting out what his chosen career. it doing and setting out what his chosen career.— doing and setting out what his

to praise what the jury describes as the astonishing individuals who put themselves in danger on that day as well. we are waiting for statements following on from the verdicts there following on from the verdicts there following the attack, so as soon as they get under way, we will bring those to you. for now, with the time at 1:50pm, we those to you. for now, with the time at1:50pm, we willand those to you. for now, with the time at 1:50pm, we will and get the latest update on coronavirus. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has said glasgow is to remain under tougher coronavirus restrictions for another week. but if there's further improvement, measures across the city could be downgraded, to come in line with the rest of she explained the situation in her daily briefing. the number of people in hospital with covid has increased in scotland from 68 people three weeks ago to 90 today, but again, that needs to be put in context. as i mentioned on tuesday,

back injanuary, the peak of the second wave, there was more than 2000 people in hospital. so, we are montering very carefully just now whether and to what extent the vaccines are breaking or at the very least weakening the link between rising case numbers and significantly rising cases of serious illness and death. and if we see a significant reduction in the health harms of covid, even as case numbers rise, then hopefully, that will allow us to change our approach, because we'll be able to rely, then, on other public health measures rather than on blanket restrictions to keep the outbreaks under control. mainland scotland, although i will talk about glasgow separately, is currently due to move from level 2 to level1 on the 7th ofjune. many islands are already in level 1. i am planning to confirm on tuesday to parliament whether and to what extent that move will proceed and the issue i've just talked about is one of the issues that will influence that decision.

it is also something we are taking into account when considering the situation in glasgow, and that's whati want to talk about now. the difficult part of this update is that, in glasgow, cases have also continued to rise in the last week by about 30%, from 112 per 100,000 of population to 146. test positivity has hovered around the 4% mark but we've seen a slight increase in it in recent days as well, it is now around 4.4%. however, as i will return to shortly, the national incident management team's view is that the escalation of public health measures in glasgow is stabilising and indeed might be starting to improve the situation. i'lljust give you a sense of the scale of the response that has been implemented in glasgow. across greater glasgow and clyde, since the start of may, the level of pcr testing has more

than tripled, up by 240%, and the speed of that can be seen in the fact that, in one week alone, testing more than doubled, it was up 150% compared to the week before. and that is just pcr testing, in addition, more than 135,000 lateral flow tests have been distributed across the city, enhanced contact tracing is in place and we have also seen a remarkable effort to speed up vaccination. as of wednesday, more than 6000 people had made use of the open vaccine clinic at the glasgow central mosque. there's now a vaccine bus, a mobile vaccine clinic, providing hundreds of vaccinations every day, and additional drop—in slots are planned for the hydro this weekend and there will be drop—in vaccination clinics across the city next week. details of these will be advertised shortly but in particular, if you are over a0 and haven't had a first does yet or if your second dose is due, please look out for details

of these drop—in clinics. as i said this time last week, measures like this always take time to work but there are some early signs that the situation is stabilising in glasgow. for example, i can tell you that in the postcodes which were initially at the heart of the outbreak in the southside, new cases have fallen in recent days and fewer of the new cases appear to be symptomatic, so that is a hopeful sign that these efforts are paying off. and we also, we think, in recent days, are seeing a stabilisation in numbers across the city as a whole, so they have increased but not as fast as might have been expected. also, the number of covid patients in hospital in glasgow has remained broadly stable in the past week and the number of patients in intensive care, thankfully, remains low. so, weighing up all these factors is inevitably really difficult. case numbers in glasgow, i can't say

anything other than this, they are uncomfortably high but we are seeing signs of progress. the view of the national incident management team is twofold, firstly that it would be premature to move glasgow out of level 3 immediately this week, while the situation remains so fragile. however, and secondly, if incidence continues to stabilise and assuming levels of hospitalisation remain reasonably stable, the incident management team has made it clear to me that they would support a move to level 2 from the end of next week, so this time next week. of course, it's necessary that we do see progress continue. we will be watching the critical statistics carefully every day, but if the massive public health efforts continue to have an impact, if our collective efforts to drive the virus back continue, then from next saturday,

friday into saturday, the 5th ofjune, the plan would be for the city to move to level 2. so nicola sturgeon there, scotland's first minister at the daily coronavirus briefing. much more that to come at tpm with clive and much more following on from those damning comments at the end of the inquest into the death of jack merritt and saskia jones. that is all coming up for you with clyde at tpm. now it is time for the weather prospects with tomasz shafernaker. —— at tpm. and some of us are stuck under the cloud again today, with some damp weather around, too, but this is only temporary and we are expecting the weather to improve through the weekend, becoming increasingly sunny and warm. now, the latest satellite picture actually shows a lot of clear weather around the uk, but in the heart of the british isles, we have got this cloudy and damp weather, and that is because a weather front is stuck out towards the west.

and it is stuck because of this high pressure here, in fact, weather fronts are trying to come in off the atlantic but this high pressure, think of it as a mountain, well, it is stopping the weather systems from moving through, they are slowing down as they approach the uk. so there is very little wind to move this weather front around — we basicallyjust have to wait for it to rain itself out and for the clouds to break up. the best of the weather through friday eastern and northern areas. so this is what happens during the course of friday night into saturday. still a lot of cloud and mist and murk out towards the west, some damp weather, too, and this does mean that for many of us, saturday morning is going to be quite grey. it will take time for the clouds to break up, and even if they do, for many of us, it may actually end up being a fairly cloudy day. we'll have to waitjust that little bit longer, the sun will come, i promise you. so this is what it looks like on saturday. still a fair bit of cloud around, especially out towards the west. might even be some showers around, but it's turning warmer. 21 in london, 20 in hull and 20 expected in glasgow.

now, the high pressure is right over us on sunday, there's very little wind, very little cloud. in fact, the uv levels are high, so steady if you are out in the park, you could easily burn. remember, whether you burn or not is nothing to do with the temperature, it is the amount of sunshine we get. but it will be warm — temperatures 23 expected in liverpool. now, this is bank holiday monday, high—pressure firmly in charge of the weather across a large chunk of europe, the weather fronts cannot come in any further, the high pressure is intense, and in fact, that high pressure is drawing in warmth from the south that's spreading all the way towards the north, to scotland and even the northern isles. so our temperatures on monday, 18 degrees in the north of scotland, mid 20s in the south.
