the new plans include some greater role forfans running clubs. brentford is an example. the supporters' trust played a decisive role in that club's progress to the premier league, and to a new, local stadium. so often, we hear that fans are the centre of football, so often they feel distant from the decisions which affect them. the need for reform is accepted in government, but not necessarily by all in football. the changes are not law, yet. joe wilson, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willetts. only scotland has had its average rainfall this april so far, it is that dry. some parts of the uk particularly the south and south—east have only had round about 30-35% of the south—east have only had round about 30—35% of the average april rainfall. in perspective, it was dry last april so we are in a run of dry aprils at the moment but at this

stage there is no sign of rain to the rest of the month, with high pressure with us, keeping things so dry at the moment, pretty breezy with dust flying around, and that high pressure continues to slip south across the uk for the rest of this week. as well as being dry it is also cloudier today. you can see the extent of the cloud in the north and east on the satellite picture with the best of the sunshine across wales and the south—west, where you have higher levels of pollen, tree pollen sufferers having those high levels to continue —— not content within the south and the west. plenty of sunshine, here, as well. to the north, more cloud across north yorkshire. the cloud is producing a few showers there. not numerous, but they are popping up and down across the pennines, into central and southern scotland, one or two in the south—east of northern ireland. they could pop up anywhere but you would be unlucky to catch more than one. cloud increasing across england and wales, with breaks a bit more in the north back temperatures several degrees down,

it does feel chilly or certainly cooler if you are under the cloud and in the breeze. that breeze starts to come down from the north overnight dragging in more cloud, so limiting the foster across the north of scotland but elsewhere, like last night, it will be chilly again and we could have a touch of grass, certainly ground frost, but it means the best of the sunshine will be in the best of the sunshine will be in the morning. we should see more from northern ireland tomorrow. again for western and southern areas, the best of the morning sunshine but we will see a general increase in cloud tomorrow as the day goes on. temperatures struggling because of that breeze coming down from the north and north—east. only nine and ten on the east coast. tomorrow night and wednesday we do it all again but because of that high—pressure slipping southwards, it will be trapping cloud underneath it, with a wind falling lighter away from the south coast, so nothing to blow the cloud away either, so wednesday again will be on the cool side with limited sunshine even in southern and western areas by that stage. the high pressure keeps

things mostly dry with a keen breeze coming across the south, still, but, for most of us, the same story, dry, and settled weather towards the end of the working week if not beyond, clive. . ~' , ., of the working week if not beyond, clive. . ~ i. ., ., clive. thank you for that, helen willis. clive. thank you for that, helen willis- -- _ clive. thank you for that, helen willis. -- helen _ clive. thank you for that, helen willis. -- helen willetts. - a reminder of our top story... emmanuel macron wins a second term as french president, vowing to unite a divided country. that's it from me. now bbc one, time for the news where you are. good afternoon. it's just after 1:30pm and here's your latest sports news. liverpool defender andy robertson refuses to admit that they are favourites to reach the final of the champions league. they still have four titles within their sights —

not least the premier league — and they're back within a point of leaders manchester city after beating everton 2—0. robertson opened the scoring in the merseyside derby as their great run of form continued — that's 13 wins in 15 league games for liverpool — and their next match is the first leg of their champions league semifinal against villarreal at anfield on wednesday. robertson insists he and his team—mates are not getting ahead of themselves. when you get to the semifinals, i don't think there are favourites, everyone wants to get the final and we know how tough it is and i don't think there are favourites. it is a big occasion and big moments happen in those games and it is about who deals with those of the best and that what will our determine our semifinal and the other semifinals so we don't believe we are favourites but we believe we are in for a tough game and where we want to go. and we know where we want to go. the premier league has accepted the case for reform, after the government announced it

would be setting up an independent regualtor in football. and the players�* union, the pfa, welcomed the endorsement of the issues raised in the fan—led review into the men's game. supporters will have more say in how the game is run. a new owners test will be introduced and the regulator will have the power to sanction clubs in england who break financial and other rules. the review was led by former sports minister tracey crouch, following a series of issues, including the failed european super league and the collapse of bury fc. birmingham city have been closely involved, and they want the measures brought in quickly. the longer this goes on without finalisation, without being put into law, the more time there is far challenge for verification. it is clear the premier league are against a number of the recommendations, i think the same is true of the other league. they are saying thank you for the endorsement so far but please move quickly and do not want these down. —— do not water these

down. the favourite for the world snooker title neil robertson continues his bid for a place in the quarterfinals later, but he needs to make up ground against jack lisowski, who leads by nine frames to seven at the crucible in sheffield. they resume at seven o'clock and they'll play to a finish first to 13 wins. judd trump, the 2019 champion, is in better shape. he leads anthony mcgill by ten frames to six. two other matches have just restarted. stuart bingham leads kyren wilson 9—8. john higgins is 12—5 up against noppon saenghkam. you can follow the action on the bbc sport website, and there's coverage on bbc two. i'll be back with more later. let's get more on the labour leader, sir keir starmer, condemning a newspaper report, about the party's deputy leader, angela rayner, as "rank sexism and misogyny". an article in the mail on sunday claimed some conservative mps had

suggested ms rayner tried to distract the prime minister in the commons, by crossing and uncrossing her legs. lucy fisher is chief political commentartor at times radio and described her shock to my colleague victoria derbyshire at hearing the comments about angela rayner. i would hope it was a joke, very much, and ill placed very much, an ill placed and ill thought out one, but the idea that angela rayner would be genuinely using such a ploy struck me as frankly ridiculous. and secondly, the other comments reported by this unnamed conservative mp suggesting she lacks the education, having not been to oxford and trained at the oxford union debating society, lacks the rhetorical skills to go head—to—head with the prime minister, i think is patently incorrect. i'm just going to read some of the article for our viewers around the world because they may not have seen it. i will read a couple of paragraphs.

"the exchanges in the house of commons between ms rayner and mrjohnson which take place when leader of labour sir keir starmer is absent, have become a highlight of the commons calendar, pitching the comprehensive school—educated mp against the old etonian. but tory mps have mischievously suggested that ms rayner tries —— likes to distract the pm at the dispatch box by deploying a fully clothed parliamentary equivvalent of sharon stone's infamous scene in the 1992 film basic instinct. one mp said, �*she knows she can't complete with boris�* oxford union debating training, but she has other skills which he lacks. she has admitted as much when enjoying drinks with us on the commons terrace.”' obviously, angela rayner says that is completely untrue. what do you think about a tory mp apparently saying that and the fact it is written up in a sunday newspaper by their political editor? i think it is completely unacceptable for a conservative mp, any mp, to make such comments. i'm glad to hear the likes

of chris philp, the tech minister, doing the morning broadcast round this morning saying it is not only unacceptable, but if he heard a colleague making such a suggestion, he would obviously call it out. i think that is what we need to hear from mps, particularly male mps — that commitment to stamp out such talk, even if it's made injest in the tearoom, in the bars late at night in parliament. i think when it comes to the reporting of such claims, it is always a difficult decision, a judgment call for a journalist to make on the basis of balancing taste, perhaps, and how much weight you are giving to a throwaway comment, a joke by one source, and whether you want to sort of shine a light on what people are saying behind the scenes. i think readers really value getting a sort of under the bonnet look on how mps actually speak to each other and to journalists, what they are actually saying behind—the—scenes. a third element is the tone in which it is reported, obviously suggesting that was a comment made mischievously, i think

was the adverb used, perhaps doesn't really capture how shocking and unacceptable i think most people would find that remark. how sexist is it working in the house of commons, lucy? i would say it is in some ways quite difficult to judge as a journalist. i've been really lucky to work for major brands like the times and telegraph and i think as a reporter with a big heritage name behind you, you have a degree of power and people are not necessarily going to mess with you or risk negative coverage by making silly comments. but certainly female mps i speak to are really wearied by it and certainlyjunior staffers suffer often the worst. they perhaps get more of it than most because they don't have the profile, the back—up and that degree of power in what is such a hierarchical institution and possibly they suffer the worst of it. so i'm not surprised to hear that the speaker is said to be

thinking about another review into the culture of parliament. it is clear that not only with this report at the weekend, but also coverage suggesting that three cabinet ministers and two shadow cabinet ministers are among 56 mps who are currently being investigated for sexual misconduct. that is a seventh of the house of commons. i think it really shows more needs to be done to overhaul the culture. how do you overhaul the culture? is it about getting more women in senior positions, more women as editors of sunday newspapers, more women in the cabinet — what is it? i think there is certainly a role for representation to play. there are lots of different ideas about how best to achieve that. some people feel quite queasy about quotas and other people feel it is the only way to make progress. i also think it is about awareness. it's about making sure that there are clear complaint procedures and access to complaint hotlines and people know what to do if they are targeted with inappropriate contact

or comments and that due punishment is meted out, so bit by bit the culture will change and people will realise what is and isn't acceptable. now it's time for across the uk. bbc look east has been given exclusive access to a report showing worrying trends in online child pornography. the report by the internet watch foundation in cambridge shows a massive increase in the amount of images of sexual abuse being created by the victims themselves, and that girls now feature in all but i% of the illegal material. this from jon ironmonger. up to 850,000 people in the uk pose a sexual threat to children, according to the national crime

agency. their hunting ground almost always is the internet. he was trying to sort of escalate things a bit more. it became a bit more sexual and explicitly flirty. lucy from cambridge was groomed online to undress and send pictures when she was 15. we have changed her name. the kind of comfort and emotional support that he was giving me, i feel, was definitely calculated because i know i felt flattered by his attention, although i felt ashamed of it. the evil of online child sexual abuse is evolving, such that most illegal material that is found is now self generated, where a victim has a shared imagery of themselves on a webcam or a phone. pre—pandemic to now, there has been a 374% increase in the amount of content that is being created, where offenders are grooming and accessing children remotely, when children are alone in their bedrooms. we have a marketplace here, there are individuals sitting in the uk that

want to view this material. last year, analysts behind this door at the internet watch foundation uncovered and worked to remove a quarter of a million public web pages containing or linking to explicit imagery of children, far more than ever before. almost all of the content featured girls, typically aged between 11 and 13 years old. teenage girls do tend to be active online. i think the idea of selfies and taking images of oneself has become increasingly popular, so i think it all also of feeds into that culture, and unfortunately, offenders have found a way to exploit that. fighting a war. look at the horrors they have to confront but you are doing that every day in the online world. it doing that every day in the online world. , ., ' ~ doing that every day in the online world. , . ' ~ ., world. it is a different kind of warfare. world. it is a different kind of warfare- it — world. it is a different kind of warfare. it is _ world. it is a different kind of warfare. it is a _ world. it is a different kind of warfare. it is a different - world. it is a different kind of warfare. it is a different front line. in response to the iws's findings, the home secretary says the online safety bill,

which is currently going through parliament, contains powerful sanctions to ensure tech companies are held accountable for keeping children safe. but charities like the nspcc say the bill must be further strengthened to tackle abuse over private networks and messaging apps. if you need help or support with any of the details in that report, there are organisations that may be able to help. just go to bbc.co.uk/actionline. or you can call forfree, at any time, to hear recorded information on 0800 077 077. victims of sex offences in leicestershire are facing the country's longest delays in the justice system. new figures obtained by the bbc show a typical case now takes over a year to be completed at leicester crown court. one leading barrister�*s told us growing court delays aren't remotely acceptable. bbc east midlands�* social affairs correspondentjeremy ball reports.

police raids. suspects arrested. but this is just the start of the justice system. going to trial can be traumatic if you've been a victim of crime. and it's taking longer and longer. our crown courts took around 12 months to deal with the average sex offence case last year. it is a massive issue at the moment, it is intensifying the level of trauma that these victims are experiencing. it delays their recovery. there is also a huge delay in increased concern on public confidence in the justice system as well. for serious crimes in particular, we know that there is a bigger chance of victims pulling out of the process, with the delay happening as well in courts. the longest delays in the country last year were at leicester crown court. they average sex offence there took 394 days. at derby crown court, from start to finish, it was 356 days. and sex offences at nottingham crown

court took 332 days. that's significantly longer than five years ago. up 63% in leicester. 50% in derby, and 73% in nottingham. it's partly because courts were closed during lockdowns, and still trying to catch up. but leading barristers say it's been getting worse for years — and they're blaming budget cuts. i don't think that is remotely acceptable from anybody's perspective. if you are charged with an offence of that nature, you have got hanging over you for all that period of time. very often you will have been suspended from work. it cannot go on like this, it is unsustainable. the government says court delays have been badly affected by the pandemic, and says it's tackling the backlog. tributes are being paid to a londoner who died a year ago after diving into the thames to rescue a stranger. the man, known asjimi by his friends and family,

was described as a hero afterjumping into the river at london bridge. a year on, his friends and family are campaigning for a plaque to remember the aspiring musician who's music was played on bbc 1xtra this morning. graham satchell reports. jimi adewole. he lost his life a year ago trying to rescue someone who had jumped into the river thames. music was always jimi's first love. in a studio in south london, a group ofjimi's friends have been working on a series of tracksjimi had started recording. # only go through if i've got brothers with me i can trust. my bro had talent kind of thing, you know what i mean?

when i heard his music, i was like, wow, like, you know? he could have actually done something. # i'm still the same guy i was. # no amount of money is changing me, blatantly. i feel like music, it hits harder when the person is not here any more but the lyrics are so deep. he is a hero, so, yeah, man, it is only right that we do right by him. london bridge. jimi had just left work with his best friend bernard when they heard shouting from the river thames. it was pitch black. it was one in the morning. couldn't see anything. i remembered me andjimi looking around on both sides of the river, just trying to understand, where is she at. we could hear the noise of someone shouting. i rememberjimi going straight at it. he was like, "bro, we have to find her." he was determined to save her, that woman, that night. jimi and another manjumped in.

the woman was eventually rescued, butjimi didn't make it. he was like my little brother. my big little brother. because he was much taller than me! but itjust shows that not everyone who you see is bad. not everyone you look at has ill intentions. jimi just had a pure intention, pure mind, pure heart. it's hard. i shared good moments with him. memories that i have to cherish for the rest of my life. just... he's an amazing person. you miss him? yeah, a lot, a lot, a lot. bernard and music producer a0 on radio 1 xtra. this is to commemorate his one yearanniversary, right? jimi's track is being played on national radio for the first time this morning. right, boys, you can be radio hosts now. you can introduce the song. this isttizzig7,

featuring psychs and c4 — i'll let you know. # i'll let you know. # bridges got burned, i let her go. # heart felt pain, let it show. # money down, i choose to make it roll. _ # if you're my lover then you just let her go. - it's nice. it's a very nice feeling. because it still feels like he's there. he might not be there physically, but i know he is here spiritually. # i'm really from the hood, i'm really from the ghetto. i # built like lego... and people just admiring him, just taking him in for a moment. let him tell his story. that will be nice to tell my kids the story. that is one of my dreams right now is to be able to tell my kids, that's your uncle right there. yeah. there have been a number of tributes tojimi since he died a year ago, but his friends say releasing his music is a legacy that will last for ever.

a team of international scientists have been exploring a remote chain of islands off the coast of mexico, aiming to discover more about why volcanoes erupt. they also want to research the movement of tectonic plates and the cause of tsunamis. they hope the information could help provide an early warning system. tim allman reports. they are amongst the most awe—inspiring, the most powerful and the most dangerous natural phenomena on earth. understanding why and when volcanoes erupt could save lives, so scientists have come here to one of the most remote places on earth for possible answers. translation: the question that volcanologists always have - is when will the next eruption take place. for that, we need monitoring,

and the reality is that volcanoes are not really monitored because there are very few resources for it. in january this year, a huge underwater volcano exploded near the pacific island of tonga. the eruption, believed to be the most powerful of the century, created huge plumes of smoke and ash and also caused a tsunami. it's hoped by examining the rocks and minerals of these islands, scientists will gain a greater understanding of the tectonic plates and what lies beneath. is the mantle pushing the plates? is the mantle doing nothing? knowing that relative motion determines how big stresses are and forces...

of adults found it difficult
