here's matt taylor. evenif even if it's a bit on the cloudy side out there, it's warm enough for most of you to stop temperatures above where they should be at this time of year. later in the uk this week, the red appears, temperatures climbing further, and so does humidity. increasingly humid during the second half of the week. you will notice that at night. the north and west will see greater chance of some patchy rain. the rain today mainly across parts of eastern england, lincolnshire north and into south—east scotland. heavy and thundery showers developing into the evening. away from that, spells of hazy sunshine, cloudy in the english channel. warm in the sunshine where you have it. temperatures widely into the 20s. further showers this evening will fade away into the north sea. most places dry tonight. thicker cloud in the north—west of scotland bringing patchy drizzle by the end of the night keeping

temperatures up in northern ireland. elsewhere, dropping into single figures in the countryside will stop fresher to start tomorrow morning. tomorrow, high pressure in charge for southern and eastern areas. high pressure keeping things largely dry. weather fronts trying to push into the north and west bringing more clout to western scotland and northern ireland. england and wales, a lot more sunshine around tomorrow with sky is bluer than they have been today. and temperatures will respond accordingly, may be up to around 25 in the south—east but widely into the 20s, right across the uk. with low pressure spreading towards iceland as we go into wednesday, weather fronts approaching us and we will drag air up approaching us and we will drag air up from the mid—atlantic, and this is where the real humid air will start to work its way in. with that on wednesday, western parts of scotland and northern ireland are likely to see rain coming and going. the western fringes of england and wales are seeing more clout and patchy rain and drizzle. sunny in

the south and east with temperatures up the south and east with temperatures up to 26. still in the low 20s in brighter spots across eastern scotland. thursday, generally cloudier across the uk. patchy drizzle in the west. for england and wales it remains humid and notjust by day. let's see the night—time temperatures in sheffield for example. they will climb this week and for the second half of the week they will stay in the mid teens. a few uncomfortable nights to come but sunshine by day. a reminder of our top story. a double child killer, who was the first murderer to be convicted using dna evidence, has been deemed ready for release, after a decision by the parole board. 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, it'sjust after 1.30pm and this is the latest from the bbc sports centre.

culture secretary 0liver dowden says the ecb has gone over the top by suspending 0llie robinson from international cricket, while an investigation continues into racist and sexist tweets he posted when he was 18 and i9. they came to light as he made his test debut against new zealand. he's been dropped from the squad and he said he was "embarrassed" and "ashamed". dowden said the tweets were offensive and wrong but they were written by a teenager, who's now a man and has rightly apologised. and former england captain david gower agrees. iam i am still of the opinion that the correct way forward here was not to suspend, but to say ok, right, let's learn from this, let's make you learn from this, let's make you learn from this, make him do the equivalent of community service, go out there amongst county cricketers, cricketers of any ilk, and spread the word. social media is not a thing to be abused and these are things not to say. brighton defender ben white said he was "beyond proud and honoured"

after being called into the england squad for the european championship, which starts on friday — he replaces trent alexander—arnold. white has only played 109 minutes of international football, making his debut on wednesday, before playing the full game against romania last night. he was impressive in the 1—0 win and he's been selected amid stiff competition. england's opening game is against croatia at wembley on sunday. i do not think he was one of the favourites to be in that line—up. i think there were two others, ward—prowse and lingard were touted to maybe get the nod to come in there but he has gone for ben white and he must be a very, very excited young man this morning. once you have got your place in the team, you want to keep it and think that you're going to go all the way. we obviously know that things change throughout a tournament over a month. players can come in, that 26th man can come in, like ben white, and he will not be starting but he might be that man that makes a difference come the end of the tournament.

we will see, won't we? wales are on their way to baku for their opening game against switzerland on saturday. the squad set off from cardiff this morning. it's their first major tournament since the euros in france five years ago, where they reached the semi—finals. gymnast becky downie has been left reeling by the decision to omit her from the team gb squad for the tokyo 0lympics. she missed the final selection trial last month, following the sudden death of her brotherjosh. she was given an additional chance to make it, just days before her brother's funeral, and she believed she'd done enough. the organisation gymnasts for change said it was incomprehensible, and criticised the lack of care shown by british gymnastics. coco gauff is through to her first grand slam quarter—final, after beating 0ns jabeur at the french open. she's 17 now, and caused a sensation when she reached the fourth round at wimbledon two years ago, before doing the same at the australian open in 2020. and it was a confident performance that took her one better — she won 6—3, 6—1. and she'll face barbora krejcikova, who's also through to the last eight of a grand slam for the first time. it was another powerful display from the czech, who swept aside the former us open

champion sloane stephens, dropping just two games. krejcikova had already knocked out the fifth seed elina svitolina. there's more over on the bbc sport website, including breaking news that prime minister borisjohnson has backed comments made by the culture secretary 0liver dowden that the ecb went "over the top" in suspending bowler 0llie robinson for historical racist and sexist tweets. thank you. as gavin was saying, we have had a reaction from the prime minister about that decision by the england and wales cricket board to suspend 0llie robinson for those racist and sexist tweets that he put out in the past. a spokesperson for mrjohnson said as 0liver dowden set out, these were comments made more than a decade ago written by someone as a teenager and for which they have rightly apologised. so very interesting, these two comments by

the prime minister, his spokesman, and by the culture secretary, asking the ecb to think again. our correspondent elliott was saying it is highly unusual for the decision of a sporting regulatory body to be questioned in this way by ministers but that is coley what is going on at the moment. much more to renew i'm sure during the course of the afternoon. —— that is clearly what is going on. let's get more now on that ruling from the parole board that a man who raped and killed two schoolgirls can be freed from prison. colin pitchfork was jailed for life after strangling 15—year—olds lynda mann and dawn ashworth in leicestershire in 1983 and 1986. alberto costa is a conservative mp for south leicestershire who originally raised concerns with the parole board over pitchfork. earlier he told joanna gosling that "this isn't the sort of crime one can ever forget". i, like many of my south leicestershire constituents, are appalled at this decision that the parole board has made.

i have been campaigning for over five years to raise awareness of the brutal nature of pitchfork�*s crimes. let's not forget, this man brutally raped and murdered two innocent teenage girls and, as you said, he was only convicted as a result of dna technology advancements at the time. and even though some 30 years have passed, this is not the sort of crime that one can ever forget. my constituents remember the victims, people who went to school with these victims and they look to me as a member of parliament to do everything i can to inform the state that it would be immoral, wrong and frankly dangerous to release this disgraceful murderer of two children. so presumably, those are arguments you put to the parole board because you met with the parole board, didn't you? in spite of that, they have come

up with this decision, they have heard from you and others and i just want to read out what they have said in making their decision because they have said that parole board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community. a panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence including details of the original crime and any evidence of behaviour change as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims. members read and digest hundreds of pages of evidence and reports in the lead up to an oral hearing. evidence from witnesses including probation officers, psychiatrists and psychologists, officials supervising the offender in prison as well as victim personal statements are then given at the hearing. the prisoner and witnesses are then questioned at length in the hearing which often lasts a full day or more. parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. protecting the public

is our number one priority. this decision is provisionalfor 21 days. they're basically saying they have not taken this decision lightly. how do you respond, bearing in mind everything that has been done and how you correlate that with what they have come up with? the parole board have received criticism in the past. let's not forget only three years ago the john worboys fiasco that the parole board went through when they attempted to release that repugnant individual. the parole board back then have the opportunity of releasing pitchfork, but because of representations i made to the secretary of state forjustice, they acted politically as a parole board and chose to delay listening to having a hearing for colin pitchfork. the parole board are not short of playing politics in this too. they had the hearing back in march, they sought to get other evidence from prison authorities

for the simple reason that in law, they are trying to make this decision gr proof and what that means is they're trying to avoid any criticism by way of a judicial review. let me be very clear, this is a provisional decision, it now moves to the hands of my colleagues and governments and the secretary of state forjustice who are now going to be contacting and pushing for him to exercise this right to demand the parole board reconsider this decision. we have had actually word through from corresponding ——correspondent quoting a source close to robert buckland saying that they will take legal advice to see whether it is worth using the reconsideration mechanism in this case. if pitchfork was sentenced under the reforms we are making he would have got life without the possibility of parole and we are launching a root and branch review of the parole shortly with a view to taking more powers to block the release of dangerous offenders.

what's your reaction to that? i have been in contact this morning with ministerial colleagues and i am aware of that and my message to my colleagues in government is that you are right, we are pushing legislation in parliament to ensure that individuals that commit this form of egregious crimes are frankly never released. if pitchfork had committed these awful offences today against two teenage girls, it is highly unlikely that he would ever be released. the parole board has washed its hands and said that they have done what is required to do by law and the matter now moves to politicians and parliamentarians and colleagues in government and my message to colleagues in government is we stood on a manifesto commitment to be tough on those that commit sexual offences against women. there cannot be any more egregious sexual offences against women than raping them and brutally murdering them. this man must be kept behind bars for life. that is the onlyjust thing to do in this particular matter and i will work my socks off to make sure that pitchfork�*s decision to be released is reconsidered

and he is kept behind bars. in the end, does it boil down to actually quite specific criteria in a process whereby there has, any appeal has to point to a flaw in the process? look, let's remember that during thejohn worboys situation, the parole board made terrible errors ofjudgment in that situation and it did end up in a judicial review and it did end up with my then conservative ministerial colleagues proposing changes to the parole board rules and very welcome changes and that pitchfork back then, his hearing was rescheduled. so the parole board certainly play politics back then one might argue and the message today is the parole board has made the decision, there is a process and that process is now in the hands of the secretary of state forjustice. it is right that he takes legal advice.

he also, like me, is a politician, stood on a manifesto commitment to be very tough on people that commit these forms of crimes and that includes people that are in prison to consider releasing and that includes people that are in prison. to consider releasing pitchfork, who committed these rapes and brutal murders against two innocent teenage girls is wrong by anyone�*s standards and i would press my colleagues in government to reconsider that decision, get the parole board to reconsider and if necessary, let's make further changes to the parole board rules. if the parole board isn't fit for purpose and it might not be having made this decision, then let's argue that position, let's change the rules and make sure people like pitchfork are kept behind bars. briefly, have you spoken to the families of the victims yet? i'm not going to enter into discussions of with whom i have been speaking to in respect of that but what i can say is that there has not been any one of my constituents over the six years that i have been an mp that have said anything other than do everything you can mr costa

to keep pitchfork behind bars and i am fighting tooth and nail to make sure that pitchfork is not been released and i will continue to do that. the mp for south leicestershire speaking a little earlier tojoanna. the headlines on bbc news: a double child killer who was jailed for life in the 1980s is approved to be released from jail. colin pitchfork was the first person to be convicted of murder by dna fingerprinting. the government's plan to cut foreign aid temporarily could face a significant rebellion in the commons today from its own backbenches. packed airports and queues for tests — the dash for british holidaymakers to get back from portugal before quarantine starts tomorrow. child migrants arriving at dover may be turned away by kent county council within days as its services are overwhelmed, the authority has said.

the council has begun legal action against the home office, accusing the government of refusing to deal with the problem of unaccompanied child migrants arriving in small boats. the home office insists it's encouraging other local authorities to play their part in supporting the children. the conservative leader of kent county council, roger gough, says the nation is not sharing the burden. 0ur big concern is that under current circumstances and where we're heading, we are not able to provide a safe or decent service, the service that we want to be able to provide, and that is why we are both warning of that and taking the other steps that we are. we have issued a letter before action to the home office and this goes back to what we mentioned a moment ago, the so—called national transfer system. that was brought in after a previous crisis, the last crisis bar one, of this kind in 2015. in the 2016 immigration act, that, among other things, gives the home secretary the power to mandate transfers

across the rest of the country. that is something which government has been extremely reluctant to do. bridget chapman is from kent refugee action network, a charity to support refugees and asylum seekers in kent. she told us she has sympathy for the council's situation. i feel that their hand has been forced. we have a great deal of sympathy for them and they have done a greatjob. there are, you know, more young people than they have the capacity to deal with. i would argue that it's a crisis, we are talking about some hundreds of children and i think the framing of this issue is a little bit, we frame it is a problem, and actually, these young people are incredible and those of potential and given the right kind of investment, like all young people, that investment will pay off in the future. a spokesperson for

the home office said... after almost a decade of campaigning, d—day veterans have finally been able to see their dream of a national memorial in normandy to honour theirfallen comrades become a reality. it was officially opened at yesterday's d—day commemoration event but, due to travel restrictions, many british veterans and their families had to watch the ceremony virtually. harry billinge raised tens of thousands of pounds for the memorial, and john maguire was with him to watch the grand opening. guard of honour! guard of honour, �*shun! thank you, lads, and god

bless you, thank you. he always insists that he's not a hero, but try telling that to the friends and supporters who joined harry billinge to witness his dream become a reality. as a teenager, he was one of the first onto the normandy beaches on the day. and he's been back since, most recently for the 75th anniversary two years ago, when he sat on the bbc breakfast sofa and told us of the comrades he'd left behind. i was lucky, i'm here. all the heroes are dead, and i'll neverforget them as long as i live. yesterday, he returned to the sofa. sun shines on the righteous. the guest of honour at a special screening of the official opening of the british normandy memorial. a cause he's championed and raised tens of thousands of pounds to build.

i want to say a very special good morning to one of our greatest champions, mr harry billinge. i know he's watching with his many friends in st austell this morning. harry, you've been an inspiration, and we do thank you. he will talk to everybody - and anybody and that's why he's raised so much money for this. monumental memorial to those that gave their lives. harry is a big part of our community and for him, for us to be able to be here with him is amazing. he does it from his heart, and he's done what he does for the boys that didn't come home, so. he is out collecting, - he's out collecting three or four times a day, i in the market all day, collecting, all day yesterday - he was collecting and all weekend. i so he dedicates his life savingl for his past comrades and that. he would, of course, have loved to be there, to touch the stones that bear the names of 22,4112 people under british command who died in the battle of normandy, those who never made it home.

despite having to watch via satellite link, this in no way obscures the enormous regard and admiration in which we hold our veterans, or diminishes our debt of gratitude to the more than 22,000 men and women whose names are now permanently inscribed in stone in this place of honour above gold beach. instead of northern france, par near st austell and the next best thing as harry was surrounded with those he loves and who love him. i can't thank millions of people, millions who have written to me, from all over the world, and who have subscribed to that memorial. it means more to me than anything. to everyone who has ever given a small amount to those who have given a great amount,

i really humbly thank you, one and all. don't call me sir, my name is harry! hip hip, hurray! h|p hip, hurray! i spent most of it crying, didn't i? ijust really wanted him to be there, on the opening, - and i think that was... it'sjust so sad, but. it was very powerful. i cry all the time anyway, so, nothing new there! . he's happy, now that he's done what he needed to do. he's done an amazing job, hasn't he? yeah. we're just absolutely proud to have him here, to be honest. he's just an inspirational character. he's just, what he's done for the normandy trust and also, he'sjust an inspiring man. part of today's ceremony, forming a guard of honour, the men who wear the same beret and badge as harry.

modern day commando engineers, men for whom harry is a great inspiration. it'sjust the influence he has on us, and sort of like trying to aspire to be as good as what those guys did on that day, just so inspirational. just the sacrifice he made is, we wouldn't be where we are now if it wasn't for that. do you hope to get over and see the memorial? oh, yeah, i'll be there. if i have to swim! so, with the ceremonies over, how else would this 96—year—old spend his sunday afternoon? of course, raising even more money, now for an education centre at the memorial to teach future generations of the sacrifices made by his, the greatest generation. john maguire, bbc news, cornwall. from puffins to seals, the uk coastline has some spectacular wildlife, so it's not surprising many of us want to get up close to see it.

but sadly, a number of birds and mammals are being injured or disturbed as a result of people getting too close. 0ur environment correspondent paul murphy has been looking at what's being done to tackle the issue. out on patrol with 0peration seabird. as huge numbers of visitors flock to this coastline, the need to protect wildlife has rarely been greater. we are seeing increased disturbance to our cetaceans, our dolphins offshore, the seals that come onto the beaches and the seabirds, our local seabird colonies. this operation started last year and i'm pleased to be here today to say that it's being launched nationally to raise awareness, to educate. and this is the kind of disturbance the project is trying to stop. this jet skier is breaking all the rules about speed and proximity to breeding birds. any recreational vessel between 100 metres and 300 metres shouldn't be producing a wake. anything closer to 100 metres runs the risk of disturbing the seabirds. it's a sightseeing tour, and i've

been doing it for three years. l we come across a sightseeing boat that's ventured too close to the bird colony at these cliffs. if people get too close to these cliff edges, they will disrupt the actual breeding season for these protected birds, and adults will fly off, they'll expose the chicks to the weather, to predators. try and slow down to six knots. a passing jet skier, who is behaving responsibly, is told about the aims of operation seabird. it's about that education, it's people understanding what causes disturbance and how it causes disturbance. and i think once people understand that, they'll be able to know how close to approach, what speed to approach. this coastline is one of europe's most important breeding areas for seabirds. and with many more visitors than usual expected to our coastline in the months ahead, this patrol vessel could be in for a busy summer. everybody wants to get out and enjoy the special areas, the special wildlife that we have.

but just as we need to give each other space at this time, we need to give the wildlife space, too. this area is a sensitive habitat for wildlife, but also a tourism hotspot. and balancing these sometimes competing needs is the challenge facing this team. that report from paul murphy. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. after that cold may we had, june certainly got off to a warm start across much of the country. if you take a look across europe, the whites, yellows, the oranges an indication that temperatures through this week staying at or above average. the deeper red starting to appear in the uk chart an indication of things getting warmer still and notjust warm, increasingly humid for most of us through this week, especially from midweek onwards. but with humid air comes a fair bit of cloud and increasing chance of patchy rain in the north and west. today's rain, though, is in the form of showers, some heavy and thundery across north east england and eastern parts of scotland in particular. most will be dry, some hazy

sunshine here and there. thicker cloud towards the west, but temperatures widely into the 20s. now, as we go into this evening and overnight, the showers in the east will fade away. we will see clear skies here, but thicker cloud, a bit more breeze developing out towards the west and increasing chance of light drizzle across parts of the western isles and western scotland into tomorrow morning. temperatures in rural areas down to single figures tonight, double figures in most. not a cold start tomorrow by any means. high pressure still in charge, high pressure keeps things dry, but weather fronts try to push on from the north and west and that will bring an increased amounts of cloud again, sunshine hazier across western areas if you see it, but parts of western scotland and northern ireland having a generally cloudy day. a few spots of light rain or drizzle, but much more sunshine around tomorrow for england and wales and it's here temperatures will be climbing into the mid—20s, for some up to 25 degrees, for instance in the london area. but in eastern scotland, 22 your high. then through into wednesday, we have a deep area of low pressure pushing up towards iceland and that will bring some weather fronts

but also draw in that increasingly humid air i mentioned all the way from the mid—atlantic and so temperatures will rise further. plenty of cloud in the west and there will be that rain or drizzle coming and going. the wettest places are said to be the western parts of scotland. there may be the odd shower to eastern scotland, but away from some western coastal hills in england and wales, most will have sunny spells and notice the temperatures continue to lift up a little bit as 22 with sunshine in the north east of scotland. and through thursday and friday, thursday will be a fairly cloudy day for most and most staying dry. a bit of sunshine for friday and while it will be fresh in northern ireland and scotland it will turn more humid across england and wales and that and that is sure as well, but by day and night. take a look at what is happening in sheffield from midweek onwards the temperatures will generally be in the midteens. goodbye for now.

this is bbc news. the headline: double child killer colin pitchfork, who was jailed for life in the 1980, is approved to be released from jail but one local mp is appalled at the decision it would be immoral, wrong, and frankly dangerous, to release this disgraceful murderer of two children. the government's plan to cut foreign aid temporarily could face a significant rebellion in the commons today from its own backbenches. i would look and say, you've just got to have a very close look at the damage that you're doing. if you're going to kill people with this, which i think is going to be the outcome in many areas, we need to reverse those immediately. even with the measures that we are taking because of the pandemic, we will still be investing £10 billion in international aid. but the reason why the government is bringing this measure forward is because we are in the middle of a pandemic.
