limits in terms and moving it to smaller number of weeks we can have an abortion. sol smaller number of weeks we can have an abortion. so i think clearly when you do that you were limiting the rights of the individual and as you say with a photograph of people have very strong views about it on both sides. i think in terms what this means politically, so as you touched on, we don't know who leak this and i was like a very serious late. what does it do ahead of the coming up us round of elections? i would wonder and you can see from whatjoe bob say so far that it could actually help democrats get the vote out and many who were not feeling particularly enthused by him perhaps on the left might now feel invigorated to go out and make sure they vote given that the us president has said that he is looking and will try and find a way to openly bring this in so bring in rights on abortion so that even if this does get taken further by the supreme court, you will see politicians move to bring in their own support and there are questions

over how feasible that is with numbers thatjoe biden had has but i imagine that could bring a boost in support amongst a democratic base when it comes to getting the vote out. ~ . . when it comes to getting the vote out. . . ., ., when it comes to getting the vote out. . .., ., ., , when it comes to getting the vote out. . ., ., , ., out. we can all agree this to will make the headlines _ out. we can all agree this to will make the headlines in _ out. we can all agree this to will make the headlines in the - out. we can all agree this to will| make the headlines in the weeks out. we can all agree this to will. make the headlines in the weeks to come. let's turn to the telegraph now and the story headlined hospitals and universities pressured to return to normal. this is the latest effort to return the country to a pre—pandemic footing if you like. bill is a little bit more about in what way are they not back to normal at the moment? at about in what way are they not back to normal at the moment?- to normal at the moment? at the moment, with hospitals, - to normal at the moment? at the moment, with hospitals, they - to normal at the moment? at thei moment, with hospitals, they are restricting — moment, with hospitals, they are restricting relatives visiting people _ restricting relatives visiting people unless it's end of care. and end-of-tife — people unless it's end of care. and end—of—life care, sorry. and with universities, _ end—of—life care, sorry. and with universities, it's about face—to—face teaching, it's about not being — face—to—face teaching, it's about not being able to get to the labs, cancelled — not being able to get to the labs,

yearin paying obviously very large sums a year in student loans and you could say they could do from their betterment home and it has been a frustration in that sense. so when someone ways it could be welcomed but i think worth pointing out that ultimately this is same hospitals and universities are pressured to return to normal so what happens if they don't? it says here that ultimately they could be named and shamed, but it's not clear to me yet quite what the teeth in this policy is if they don't do as ministers say. is if they don't do as ministers sa . , . , , say. interesting that universities minister michelle _ say. interesting that universities minister michelle donlon - say. interesting that universities minister michelle donlon has - say. interesting that universities i minister michelle donlon has vowed to put boots on the ground at university campuses to investigate institutions where students a complaint about a lack of face—to—face teaching and on that note, the tiny old enemy has crept up once more but the good news is they are back with us at half past 11pm they are back with us at half past ”pm but thank you both for now. great to have you with this and great to have you with this as well but from us for now, bye—bye.

good evening. i'm tulsen tollett, and this is your sports news, where we start with football and liverpool are through to the champions league final for the third time in five years after a 5—2 aggregrate win over villarreal. the reds held a 2—0 first—leg lead from last week at anfield, but within three minutes, that had been halved when boulaye dia found the net. and it got even worse forjurgen klopp's side when francis coquelin brought the tie leveljust prior to half—time. but liverpool stuck to the task, and goals from fabinho and then substitute luis diaz levelled the score on the night, handing them an overall 4—2 lead, before a sadio mane effort after another goalkeeping error added the icing to the cake and sent them comfortably through to the final to be played

in paris on the 28th of may, also keeping them on track for the quadruple of trophies this season. manchester city are also in spain when they face real madrid at the bernabeu tomorrow night in their second leg holding a slender 4—3 lead with the winner to face liverpool. city are aiming for a second successive final in this competition, having lost the final to chelsea last year. i think it would change the perspective on our side. i don't think... obviously, as a player, you want to win the trophies, and you we want to win this one. if you look back at the way we've performed or i've performed with the team for seven years, we did really well, but obviously we didn't win it. i think winning it would just change that little narrative. is—time winners real madrid are fresh off winning the la liga title last weekend and confidence

is high, but their manager is well aware of the threat posed by manchester city's young forward phil foden. foden is a fantastic player. i think he's doing really well. i think he's going to have a fantastic career because i think he is a modern striker. he can play everywhere, really fast, really intelligent, really dangerous. in this moment, one of the best talents that england has in this moment. bournemouth have been promoted to the premier league after a 1—0 home win over nottingham forest. a neatly worked free kick saw kieffer moore score the game's only goal seven minutes from the end, and after a nervy wait that saw eight minutes of added—on time, the full—time whistle sparked wild celebrations as the cherries returned to the top flight after a two—year absence, while their opponents will have to target the play—offs. at the madrid open, ninth—seed emma raducanu has been knocked out in the last 16 by unseeded ukrainian anhelina kalinina.

after losing the first set, the 19—year—old us open champion fought back to claim the second, but she couldn't maintain the momentum and lost the final set, with kalinina taking it 6—2, 2—6, 6—4, setting up a quarterfinal against switzerland'sjil teichmann. in the men's draw, former world number one andy murray is up against 14th seeded canadian dennis shapovalov, who knocked the scot out of wimbledon last year. murray, who was granted a wild card at this event, won the opening set 6—1 before shapovalov responded to level matters 6—3. he was named as the new england cricket captain last week, and today we heard from ben stokes for the first time since he was offically presented asjoe root�*s successor. he's always attracted attention, mostly for his exploits on the field, but at times, of course, he has made the front pages as well. just last year, he felt he need to take a break to protect his mental health. today, he said he felt these experiences and issues will make him a better captain.

joe wilson reports. well, i think we're already experiencing the ben stokes effect in terms of the level of interest in the media day here at chester—le—street. ben stokes commands this unique status based on the outstanding contributions he's made to english cricket, but also he has been in the news for other reasons — the bristol nightclub court case, not guilty of affray, you remember all that. what's clear from what ben stokes said today is that he feels he can bring his whole life experience to the job now of captain. there's a lot of things that i've gone through since i became a professional cricketer, and those experiences, i feel, are a positive in this new role that i've got because i've been through a lot of goods, i've been through a lot of bads, and ifeel like i can relate to both sides of what the sport

and life can throw at you. well, i think ben stokes made it as clear as he could today that he wanted james anderson and stuart broad in his test match team, and he also has a say in who becomes the next coach, but what kind of player does ben stokes want in his england team as he tries to haul them back up from such a lowly position? i think a very, very good starting point for me is i want selfless cricketers who make decisions that are based on winning the game of cricket for england. because at the end of the day, what's the most important thing? for me, it's winning and i want to be a part of a team that has that real mentality and isn't going to take a backwards step. well, i showed ben stokes today an old picture today an old picture i found on my phone.

2016 in delhi, we found a group of boys who wanted to be ben stokes and had made their own merchandise. ben stokes has always commanded admiration for his style of cricket. now, wherever he bats in the order, i think it's the responsibility of those around him to allow ben stokes to still be ben stokes now that he's england captain. joe wilson, bbc news, chester—le—street. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. we've seen plenty of cloud over the past few days. wednesday brings the promise of brighter skies. but with more in the way of sunshine, we could trigger some heavy downpours with the odd rumble of thunder and some lightning mixed in as well. here's the set—up as we move into wednesday, then. we've got these weather fronts bringing and patchy of rain pushing eastwards, so it does mean that we start the day on a generally cloudy note. there could be a bit of mist and murk and some patchy outbreaks of rain. that is all shifting its way

eastwards, so it will brighten up from the west as we go through the day. sunny spells coming through with more in the way of sunshine, could trigger those heavy thundery downpours. parts of eastern scotland, north east england and the midlands through to southern and central england seeing those heavy, thundering downpours. of course, not everyone catching one, but if you do see one, it could be heavy. and with more in the way of sunshine, it's going to be warmer highs, around 17 celsius in the south and east. as we move overnight, we'll see those showers fading away. we'll see plenty of clear spells, but turning cloudier across the north and west with some patchy outbreaks of rain. the temperatures not falling too far at all, staying in the single figures. as we move into thursday, here's how the pressure chart looks. high pressure tending to dominate across england and wales. here, we see a good deal of dry and fine weather. we have those weather fronts just topping across the top in the north—west, bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain. we do drag in this milder air

from the south—west, so thursday is looking like a warmer day. a good deal of sunshine across england and wales. cloudier skies, though, across the north and west with some patchy outbreaks of rain. so, for the north, we are looking at highs of around 13—16 c, 16—21, perhaps 22 celsius in the south. friday, we'll see this band of rain pushing its way south. there could be some heavy bursts in there for parts of northern england and the midlands. drier and brighter behind it, and temperatures dropping off a touch here, but still warm in the south and east. highs of 20 degrees celsius. into the weekend, then, and high pressure dominates the weather, so it's looking like a settled picture. we'll see a good deal of dry, fine weather with light winds. we can see plenty of dry weather through the weekend. there'll be some patchy cloud and sunny spells cloud and sunny spells and temperatures reaching a high of around 21 celsius. bye— bye.

�*welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines. millons of women in the us could lose their legal right to an abortion — as a leaked document shows the current law may be overturned by the supreme court. the move has been praised and condemned. no one can make thejudgment no one can make the judgment to choose to abort a child based on a decision by the supreme court. i think that is way overboard. we found that during the campaigning and even _ we found that during the campaigning and even through today is that there is a lot— and even through today is that there is a lot of— and even through today is that there is a lot of common ground on this topic _ is a lot of common ground on this topic we — is a lot of common ground on this topic. we want fewer abortions, not more _ we'll be hearing from both pro—life and pro—choice campaigners throughout the programme.
