hello and welcome. japanese tennis star and world numbertwo — noami osaka — has withdrawn from the french open. the player has been in the spotlight for days after her decision to boycott post—match media duties at the grand slam tournament. she has released a statement on twitter saying "i think now the best thing for the tournament, other players and my wellbeing is that i withdraw so that everyone can get back to focussing on the tennis." courtney bembridge has the latest. after five days of back and forth, naomi osaka has withdrawn from the french open. it started when the 23—year—old announced she would not take part in press conferences at roland garros due to their

effect on her mental health. she said expecting players to answer question after a defeat amounted to kicking a person while they are down. the organisers responded, writing in a statement... osaka hit back on twitter, writing... she was fined $15,000 for not doing the post match media after this win in her opening match. then came the news that she had decided to withdraw completely. in a long statement posted to twitter, she explained how she had suffered long bouts of depression since the us open in 2018, adding she never wanted to be a distraction.

serena williams was asked. ifeel for naomi. i wish i could give her a hug because i know what it is like. like i said, i had been in those positions. everyone is different and everyone handles things differently so, you know, you just have to let handle it the way she wants to and the best way that she thinks she can. british former number one and commentator annabel croft says the tennis world is reeling but will have to find a path forward together. it is a difficult balance for the grand slams because we can't treat her differently. no one person can be bigger to the sports and they need to make the commitment to the media so these events can take place. osaka says she will now take some time away from the court. the french federation has responded. we are sorry and sad. the outcome of naomi withdrawing is unfortunate. we wish her the best and quickest possible recovery.

we remain very committed to all athletes�* well—being and continually improving every aspect of players experience in our tournament. she is taking time away from the court, casting doubt over whether she will be at wimbledon later this month. a five—month—old boy from london has become one of the first children to be treated with a ground—breaking, new gene therapy — after it was made available on the nhs. at a cost of nearly two—million—pounds per patient — zolgensma is the world's most expensive drug and can increase life expectancy by as much as a0 years. our medical editor fergus walsh explains. this is the world's most expensive medicine. the list price of zolgensma is almost £1.8 million — though the nhs has negotiated a confidential discount,

which will enable dozens of affected infants to be treated each year. five—month—old arthur is one of the first to benefit. he has spinal muscular atrophy — sma — a genetic condition which causes progressive muscle weakness. without treatment, those affected rarely live beyond the age of two. arthur is unable to lift his head, and struggles to move his arms and legs, but this single infusion should prevent further loss of nerve cells. it's been massive, massive ups and downs, but being able to now have the treatment is just going to be a game—changerfor us and give arthur the best possible life he could have. around one in every 10,000 babies is born with spinal muscular atrophy. what is remarkable is this one—off treatment may permanently stop any further decline in arthur's muscle function. so how does zolgensma work?

it contains a healthy copy of a missing or faulty gene called smn1. this is inserted into a harmless virus. in the body, the virus delivers the replacement gene into the nucleus of motor neuron cells. this is essential to prevent those cells from gradually dying. the now healthy motor neuron cells start producing the missing smn protein, which is vital for muscle function. how's arthur? evelina children's hospital in london is one of a handful of centres in the uk which will offer this ground—breaking gene therapy. 20 years ago, a baby born with a severe form of sma would have a very shortened life expectancy. we can now offer treatment that can really alter the outlook for these children. some other infants treated with zolgensma have seen their condition notjust stabilise, but improve. arthur's parents say they know it's not a cure,

and they're simply delighted that he's being treated. fergus walsh, bbc news. in the past few hours, a dedicated terminal for anyone arriving on a flight from any of the 43 nations on the uk government's �*red list�*, has opened at heathrow airport. it follows criticism that passengers returning to the uk from either red, amber or green list countries were being forced to queue in arrival halls together. our transport correspondent caroline davies reports. when international travel restarted last month, some couldn't wait to get away. but while this was the view in departures, in arrivals, passengers from green list low risk countries queued up in the same hall as arrivals from high risk red list countries. since mid—february, all arrivals from red list countries have had to stay in quarantine hotels for ten days, to stop the spread of variants of concern. but before they go into isolation, some spent hours queued up alongside other

lower risk passengers. despite the separate queues, some passengers felt very uncomfortable being so close for so long. from today, any arrivals coming in on direct flights from red list countries will be processed at terminal three. the terminal�*s been brought back to operation after being closed during the pandemic. while neither side will confirm who's paying for the reopening and running of the terminal, it's understood that the government is picking up a large part of the cost. but one of the biggest unions representing border force employees, the pcs, have said they're concerned the decision was taken at short notice, meaning that key social distancing procedures are not in place and that the terminal would be understaffed. the home office have said that border force is mobilising additional staff to help minimise queuing times for compliant passengers, whilst a government spokesperson said the new dedicated terminal at heathrow for arrivals from red list countries will enable passengers to be processed as safely and as efficiently

as possible. international travel is likely to remain very different for a while to come, and heathrow said they expect to have a dedicated red list terminalfor some time. caroline davis, bbc news. let s get some of the day's other news. negotiations are expected to go continue through tuesday in israel as the centrist politician, yair lapid and the far—right nationalist, naftali bennett seek to form a coalition that would oust prime minister benjamin netanyahu. opposition parties have until wednesday night to form a coalition mr netanyahu has said such a deal would endanger israel. events have been taking place in the us city of tulsa in oklahoma, to mark the centenary of a race—related massacre in which up to 300 black people were killed. presidentjoe biden declared monday a day of remembrance, calling on americans to commit to eradicating systemic racism. peru has announced that the country's real number of coronavirus deaths is almost triple what was previously thought.

a hundred and eighty thousand people have died of covid in peru — one of the highest death rates in the world. sweden has become the latest european country to ease its covid—19 restrictions even though it continues to have one of the highest infection rates on the continent. opening hours for bars and pubs have been extended, cinemas and theatres can host socially —distanced gatherings for up to 50 people. almost 600 migrants have reached the uk by boat in the past five days. more than 300 people arrived on friday — the largest number in a single day so far this year. the government has once again pledged to break the business model of the people smugglers organising the crossings — but groups supporting migrants are warning that tough talking simply doesn't work. simonjones reports from dover. the latest arrivals — these migrants were given life jackets and brought to dover

by the border force after they reached uk waters. it's been an extremely busy few days in the channel, with calm seas and warm weather. in recent weeks, we've seen not only an increase in numbers overall, but we've seen an increase in the number of unaccompanied young women and girls who have come into the country through this route. and that is worrying, because they're coming in from what are known to be the eritrean and vietnamese routes that are closely associated with modern slavery and sex trafficking. it's an issue that divides opinion. a protest against the number of people arriving was held at the weekend, while the previous weekend, groups supporting migrants gathered to air their views. so far this year, more than 3,500 migrants have reached the uk by boat. that figure is double the number we saw in the first five months of last year. butjust a little bit of context. the people arriving this way are very visible. you can see them coming in from here on the white cliffs. but overall, in the past year, the number of people claiming asylum here fell

by around a quarter. one of the boats used to make the crossing. the government says its new plan for immigration will break the business model of the people smugglers behind them. but one organisation working with refugees says this won't stop the desire of many migrants to cross the channel. we think that we need to be approaching this from a totally different perspective. we've tried making it more and more difficult for people. it doesn't stop people coming, and we risk people drowning at sea. we have to be working to find safe and legal ways for them to claim asylum, so that they don't have to make the choice to use people smugglers. the government's warned there's no quick fix, but as the crossings continue, so does the pressure on it to find solutions. simonjones, bbc news, dover. stay with us on bbc news — still to come. art — but not as we know it. some of the great works remade — out of plastic bags. the queen and her husband began their royal

ben west is stratfor senior security analyst at rane. he's in washington. what are your thoughts with regard to these revelations? all we have to remember the timing. this is coming out less than two weeks before president biden is scheduled to travel to europe for meetings, even with president putin of russia. the story coming out right now but instead kind of cast a pall over that trip and you can certainly imagine critics of the united states and europe using this to undermine the trip. using this to undermine the tri . _ using this to undermine the tri, .,, using this to undermine the tri, using this to undermine the tri. using this to undermine the tri, , trip. 50, as you say, timing is re trip. 50, as you say, timing is pretty critical _ trip. so, as you say, timing is pretty critical as _ trip. so, as you say, timing is pretty critical as ever - trip. so, as you say, timing is pretty critical as ever with - pretty critical as ever with these kind of revelations but

are you surprised to hear about this going on back in 2012? yes, that is the other part of this. this is... we are getting new details and tidbits from this report. this is all leading back to the 2013 revelations from edward snowden who leaked all of this information and kind of gave us the first claimed that the us might have been spying on european allies. at that point it was certainly surprising to hear all of that but i think when you look back at the history of intelligence and the history of intelligence and the history of intelligence and the history of countries interacting with each other, and peaceable way spied on each other, even allies, so it is not a huge surprise especially coming eight years later. getting some of the titbits but the ultimate political consequences of this have already kinda played out. want

to bring this back to the fourth president biden�*s trip. in terms of the motives, what are your thoughts about that now in this day and age? why would that be necessary on the part of the us or others to spy on the european allies? fix, part of the us or others to spy on the european allies?- on the european allies? a lot of it is the — on the european allies? a lot of it is the idea _ on the european allies? a lot of it is the idea of _ on the european allies? a lot of it is the idea of you - on the european allies? a lot of it is the idea of you are - of it is the idea of you are having formal discussions and conversations with your partners but then yours want to see what conversation the other side to having, what are they talking about, the kind of things that don't get briefed. this will always be valuable intelligence for countries and a place like denmark is actually very strategically well placed to pull up this kind of information because it is located where you have signals, intelligence communications coming from

north america, scandinavia, from russia, all funnelling down into the european continent. so it makes perfect sense that the us would want align itself with denmark and kind of tap into that extremely large flow of information coming through and take advantage of that geographic position. i5 advantage of that geographic osition. , , position. is using the timing is uuite position. is using the timing is quite critical _ position. is using the timing is quite critical with - position. is using the timing is quite critical with best - is quite critical with best abide in making this trip to europe in the next couple of weeks so, you know, how will this play out when he is negotiating to european leaders?— negotiating to european leaders? . ., ., , negotiating to european leaders? . ., ., i, leaders? we have already seen some comments _ leaders? we have already seen some comments from - leaders? we have already seen some comments from some i leaders? we have already seen - some comments from some german politicians acknowledging that, like we talked about, and he spying on each other, that happens. even allies spying on each other. and also we kind of going back to 2013. the specific report to these new press coming out is based on a 2015 report said this is all... anyone who is in the now in

europe knew this was happening. it might be time for someone to score some pr points,. i don't think i really serious undermining of relationships. we appreciate your analysis and expertise. thank you for being on the programme. thank you for being on the programme. the 2021 copa america is likely to be hosted by brazil, after argentina was stripped of the football tournament just two weeks before it starts — because of a coronavirus surge. reaction in brazil has been overwhelmingly negative. the country is also struggling to cope with a deadly third wave of the pandemic —killing almost 2000 people daily and putting pressure on the public health system. and while the government say a deal is not quite yet complete they believe they can offer the tournament a new home if certain conditions are met.

translation: there is no done deal yet. translation: there is no done dealyet. i translation: there is no done deal yet. i want to make it very clear. we are in the middle of the process of negotiations but we will not shy away from the demand, that if it is possible to be done, will be done. we have an agreement between us and the brazilian fa. there will be ten teams divided into two groups. 65 people per delegation. all of them must be vaccinated. that is our demand. there are no signed documents between the parties, just these negotiations. the brazilian national team will also be vaccinated. now a surprise find of an extremely rare and valuable ingredient in perfume—making that was found in the belly of a whale has changed the lives of a group of destitute yemeni fishermen and turned their lives around. eloise alanna has more. 35 fishermen came across a sperm whale carcass and found

over $1.5 million worth of ambergris. at 127 kilograms it is the third largest amount discovered in the world. it has been price substance throughout history. studies it was used in medicines as incense and as an aphrodisiac. it is a waxy substance that the well produces in its intestines. to date is used in perfumes to preserve the scent. they eat squid and the beats and the squid and the beats and the squid can be harmful to the lining of the intestines create a substance to help the past three. the substances ambergris. yemen is still suffering due to years of civil war. according to the un, the population are vulnerable to hunger. forthese population are vulnerable to hunger. for these fishermen, this extraordinary discovery turned their lives around.

the prophets were divided equally among the fishermen. they shared money with people who helped and gave to those in needin who helped and gave to those in need in the village.

according to experts only sperm whales produced the substance in any 1—5% contain it. they are considered vulnerable and the sale is prohibited in several countries. but countries consider it a waste product that can be salvaged. the men are still fishing despite their lucky find. for many people plastic has become both a marvel and a curse. it's a flexible, tough material that's used in many different ways — but it's difficult to dispose of and it can cause

environmental havoc. one artist in brazil is highlighting the durability and the danger that plastic presents. the bbc�*s tim allman explains. in sao paulo a little exhibition of the greats. well, sort of. the works of vincent van gogh and andy warhol amongst others, using plastic bags. the artist takes scraps of the staff to produce these recreations. the only paint is the dye used as part of the industrial process. translation: i went to this contemporary moment in which plastic dominates everything and everyone. i make an accumulated cluster of plastic to create this image that you see. these are intricate, detailed pieces of work but there are more thanjust clever copies. there is a message here. great art is timeless

but will plastic waste less creative imagination? translation: i predict these works will remain for many years in the history of mankind. we know that the mona lisa is much older than 200 yea rs. the plastics that we use will also be in nature for more than 200 years. his work should, covid willing, go on display later this year. plastic not always so fantastic. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @ sallybundockbbc.

we'll be looking at an interesting story about a factory in bangladesh that burnt down with over 1000 lives lost. hello again. bank holiday monday was the hottest day of the year so far. i would say "no complaints", but may was a complete wash—out — the wettest on record in wales, the fourth wettest for the uk, and it was chilly. 25 celsius we had in kinlochewe certainly made a welcome change. that warm weather felt by most of us, however, we did have some of that pesky low cloud, the mist and fog around north sea coasts, and some of that lingered all day in shetland, keeping the temperatures atjust ten celsius here. and we have got more of these fog banks to come as we head into tuesday morning. again, shetland, very likely to see some of that, and across eastern england, stretching from norfolk across lincolnshire

into yorkshire all the way to probably north yorkshire, you are likely to come across some fog, some low cloud, and even the occasional spot of drizzle. but otherwise, a dry start to the day on tuesday, relatively mild. and for those in the west, probably a glorious start to the day because we have this weather front out to the far west, and some of that cloud will get illuminated. sunshine on through the rest of the day, but we will have some of these fog banks affecting shetland from time to time, but otherwise, i think, many eastern coasts better chance of seeing the sunshine. and it's going to be a bit warmer, 211—25 celsius more widespread, the warmest places probably getting up to 26 celsius which, again, will make it the warmest day of the year. and, of course, it'sjune, the skies are clear, that's why we have high levels of uv. if you are outside for any length of time, might be worth considering a bit of sun cream. on into the middle part of the week, we have some changes in the weather picture. this area of low pressure is drifting up from europe bringing with it some thundery showers. they will mainly be across southwestern areas of the country. further northwards and eastwards, it's another sunny and very warm day, in fact, temperatures could go as high as 27 celsius in the very warmest spots, but, perhaps over these

north sea coasts, a little bit cooler, given the onshore winds will be strengthening a little bit. so highs of about 17 celsius or so in newcastle. on into thursday's forecast, that area of low pressure continues to push northwards, just bringing the risk of those showers across northern england into scotland. this front really marks the boundary between fresher atlantic air that will be moving in across the uk for many of us from the slightly warmer weather that we still have a across far eastern areas. now, temperatures will be drifting down then for many, but still not bad, 19 celsius, feeling pleasant in cardiff, the highest temperatures, eastern england, up to 2a celsius in norwich. certainly
