good afternoon. the northern ireland secretary brandon lewis has said the uk government will work to fix issues with the northern ireland protocol in the wake of the outcome of the elections for the stormont executive this week. sinn fein became the largest party in the executive for the first time with the democratic unionist party's vote splintering over concerns about the protocol which has seen a trade border effectively erected in the irish sea between the uk and northern ireland. the dup is refusing to nominate a deputy first minister in the stomont power—sharing arrangement between unionist and nationalist parties in the executive.

we can speak to our correspondent danjohnson who's at stormont for us this lunchtime. it's an historic election result but little sign of a functioning government?— little sign of a functioning covernment? ., , ., , government? the votes have been counted, government? the votes have been counted. the _ government? the votes have been counted, the seats _ government? the votes have been counted, the seats allocated - government? the votes have been counted, the seats allocated and l government? the votes have been l counted, the seats allocated and we know who _ counted, the seats allocated and we know who the new assembly members will be _ know who the new assembly members will be here _ know who the new assembly members will be here at stormont. we know that sinn— will be here at stormont. we know that sinn fein will be the largest party— that sinn fein will be the largest party but — that sinn fein will be the largest party but they cannot come into power _ party but they cannot come into power without sharing that with the democratic unionist party, the biggest — democratic unionist party, the biggest of the unionist parties and they are _ biggest of the unionist parties and they are refusing to commit to power—sharing because of their objections to the northern ireland protocol. — objections to the northern ireland protocol, the trade rules post—brexit that mean checks on goods— post—brexit that mean checks on goods coming from great britain into northern— goods coming from great britain into northern ireland and in the view of unionists, — northern ireland and in the view of unionists, weakened northern ireland '5 position— unionists, weakened northern ireland '5 position in the uk. it is for the uk westminster government to negotiate any changes to the protocol _ negotiate any changes to the protocol with the european union and this morning, the deputy prime minister— this morning, the deputy prime minister dominic raab said the

translation: no evil can avoid responsibility. - it won't be able to hide in the bunker as there'll be no stone left of it. we will overcome everything. we know this for sure, because our people are descendants of those who overcame the nazis. and we will win again. there will be peace. the strength of ukraine's resistance is one of the main reasons this conflict has shifted. in the mikolaiv region in the south, ukrainian soldiers launched grad missiles towards their invaders. "there is pleasure, of course, in your work", says jamila. "we usually not told what target, simply whether we hit "the target or not." nowhere has been harder hit than mariupol. worries are growing for the surrounded 2,000 ukrainian fighters in the azovstal steel plant.

right now, authorities in kyiv are nervous. tomorrow, russia stages its victory day. in the past, a celebration of their triumph in the second world war. for vladimir putin, it's an opportunity to try and justify what he is doing to ukraine. the concern is that could mean an escalation. the west thinks putin will double down to achieve his goals, goals which still aren't clear. james waterhouse, bbc news in kyiv. the deputy prime minister dominic raab has accused sir keir starmer of "rank double standards" in calling for borisjohnson to resign over �*partygate' — now that the labour leader is facing a fresh police investigation into the beer and curry he had with colleagues while campaigning last year. labour's shadow levelling up secretary, lisa nandy, described the allegations as �*absurd and desperate' and said she remains confident sir keir won't be fined. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticus.

he has always styled himself as a man of practicality, mr rules, he was styled today. but he would like the focus to be in the election results, yesterday celebrating advancesin results, yesterday celebrating advances in scotland. this was sir keir starmer in april last year, on the campaign trail. covid rules said you could gather indoors if it was reasonably necessary for work but not to socialise outside your household or bubble. so was he breaking the law? durham police investigated and said no but they are reconsidering. the labour party schedule for the visit leaked to the sunday mail said the dinner was planned, that does not mean it broke regulations but sir keir starmer is in the spotlight. what makes it more awkward is a tweet he sent when it emerged borisjohnson was under investigation saying he should resign. investigation saying he should resin. ~ .., ., investigation saying he should resin. ~ ., , resign. when we called for boris johnson resign. when we called for boris johnson to _ resign. when we called for boris johnson to resign, he _ resign. when we called for boris johnson to resign, he was - resign. when we called for boris johnson to resign, he was underj johnson to resign, he was under investigation for 12 gatherings that he said simply never happened. he

the future of the pro-democracy movement in hong kong?- the future of the pro-democracy movement in hong kong? since 2019 the ci has movement in hong kong? since 2019 the city has changed _ movement in hong kong? since 2019 the city has changed in _ movement in hong kong? since 2019 the city has changed in many - movement in hong kong? since 2019 the city has changed in many ways. i the city has changed in many ways. fundamentally speaking, many people describe this now is a police state. the background ofjohn lee in the police, in law enforcement, and his crackdown against the protest movement makes many people feel that there will be continued restrictions here. this morning, before the election, there was a very small protest, three people decided to march on the streets and claim, and call for universal suffrage. that is nothing compared to the thousands of protesters that will take to the streets almost every weekend in 2019. john lee was a person that oversaw this crackdown, there's been more than 10,000 arrests since 2019, more than 10,000 arrests since 2019, more than 10,000 arrests since 2019, more than 100 national security law arrests so there is a feeling here the pro—democracy movement will continue to suffer under the leadership ofjohn lee. easyjet is to remove seats on some

of its planes in the summer, so that flights can operate with fewer cabin crew. six seats on the back row of its airbus a—319 fleet will be taken out. the airline has said this complies with civil aviation authority guidelines. easyjet is one of several airlines that have had to battle covid—related staff shortages as demand for travel increased, after coronavirus restrictions were relaxed. it's the bafta televison awards later with the channel 4 series it's a sin, about a group of friends living through the aids crisis in the 1980s, leading the nominations. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba is at the royal festival hall in london, where the stars will be arriving shortly. lizo. some of the biggest names in television will be coming down this red carpet in the next two or three hours. ranging from the likes of graham norton tojody comber. the baftas represent the pinnacle of

achievement for so many people. in the television industry. as you said, the programme with the most nominations, its a sin from writer russell t davies, the show that had a huge social impact helping to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for hiv aids charities. it's a sin, channel 4's powerful, vibrant drama about the impact of the aids crisis has six nominations. cancer is not a thing that can get caught... it's up for best miniseries while five of its performers, including 0llie alexander and lydia west have acting nominations. why do you call it the pink palace? mummy dearest bought little ritchie lots of things from home. and look, she bought him this. camp, orwhat? when you can get a role that educates and entertains together and tell such an important story that's not in our uk curriculum, that we don't often learn about in the historical period, it'sjust so amazing to have that, to be part of that story. it's 3.30.

in the morning? tony, tony, please, please. jodie comer is nominated for best actress and steven graham for best actorfor help. the drama about a care home hit by the covid crisis has four nominations in total. steven graham is also nominated for the prison drama, time, alongside sean bean. sky's drama comedy landscapers about a decades—old murder has two nominations, including one for david thewlis for best actor. good evening. there is also a pair of nominations for netflix's comedy drama series sex education including one for ncuti gatwa, who is up for a best comedy performance award. yes, it is as camp as hell. two nominations, too, for sitcom we are lady parts, about a female muslim punk rock band. with award show ratings falling, they sometimes have a struggle to relevant to audiences.

last year's big show line of duty has no nominations today. many viewers will be pleased to see a posthumous nomination for comedian sean lock, who died of cancer last summer. typical, it's typical. that's the attitude you get from her week in, week out. and the recently axed holby city is up for best continuing drama. lam disappearing. i can't do this. yes, yes you can. angry, pregnant and scottish, it's a tricky combo. baftas highest honour, the fellowship will also be presented to sir billy connolly at today's ceremony. lizo mzimba, bbc news. in the past hour or so more big tv news, a new doctorfor in the past hour or so more big tv news, a new doctor for doctor who. we just saw the person in question in that report. he's quite a shrewd

choice because he's incredibly popular with younger viewers. 2.5 million instagram followers. it's not quite clear when he is going to be starting in the tardis but for the millions of millions of people out there who can themselves as fans of doctor who, a very exciting day. thank you. that's it — the next news on bbc one is a little earlier than usual at 4.30 this afternoon. bye for now. hello i'm isaac fanin with your latest sports news. only one place to begin, a champion will be crowned in the women's super league today. chelsea and arsenal can both still win the title on the final day. chelsea are in control —

emma hayes side looking to defend the trophy they won last season. all they need is a win to retain their trophy — and after a shaky start — it's going to plan. they trailed manchester united twice — but two quick goals at the start of the second half has them leading 3—2 — guro reiten with chelsea's third — what a huge goal that could be. but if chelsea do drop points — arsenal can snatch the title on the final day. you're looking at live pictures from east london. the gunners are taking on west ham — where it's currently goalless. so will it be arsenal's kim little lifting that trophy or chelsea's magda erickson? it's live now on bbc two. it's also a huge day in the premier league. manchester city can go three points clear at the top — after liverpool could only draw 1—1 against tottenham last night. city face newcastle this afternoon at the etihad — knowing four wins from their last four matches will see them crowned champions. but manager pep guardiola isn't

looking that far ahead. iam not i am not thinking about winning, i am thinking about newcastle. it is enough focus. this is the only concern i have. this is what is in my mind. three games kicking off in the premier league shortly. two of them are going to have abig impact at the bottom of the table. leeds can give themselves a bit of breathing room if they can beat arsenal while a win for everton at leicester would move frank lampard's side out of the relegation zone. they go into today's game off the back of an important win against chelsea last week. a nice bounce, a nice feeling for everyone, but reality kicks in, the next games of the most important ones. two games away from home where

we have not performed as well as we wanted to. it is critical and crucial for us that we approach these games with a real understanding and focus. rangers will be hoping a win at dundee later today will keep their title hopes alive. the defending scottish premiership champions must win to stay in the race. challengers celtic are nine points clear after beating hearts 4—1 yesterday. two games left after today's match. there was a shock in boxing — as one of the best pound—for—pound boxers — saul �*canelo' alvarez suffered a surprise loss to russia's dmitry bivol in las vegas. despite bivol being the bigger man and light heavyweight world champion — canelo was the favourite heading into the bout — having only lost once in his career before. but it was the russian who came out on top — winning the fight by unanimous decision. canelo — who had stepped up in weight for this fight — said he'll look to have a rematch. a big day ahead in miami — where charles leclerc will have the honour of starting in pole position for the city's

inuagural formula one grand prix. the championship leader bounced back from a disappointing result last time out to claim his third pole this year, ahead of ferrari team mate carlos sainz. world champion max verstappen had to settle for third after this mistake. lewis hamilton will start from sixth. iam very i am very happy. it was not a great lap. it is ok. 0verall i am very happy. it was not a great lap. it is ok. overall i am very happy, i lap. it is ok. overall i am very happy, i am starting on pole position. remember the name carlos alcaraz — because the spanish teenager continues to shock the best players in men's tennis. a day after beating rafael nadal, he's now beaten the world number one novak djokovic to reach the final of the madrid 0pen. the spanish teenager winning in three sets and he'll now face the defending champion alexander zverev in today's final. and tunisia's 0ns jabeur has

yet another milestone in her impressive career — as she won the wta title in madrid — beating the 12th seed jessica pegula in three sets. it's jabeur�*s first wta 1000 title and she becomes the first african to win a wta1000 event. that's all the sport for now, next on the bbc news channel, anita mcveigh is live from stormont. thank you very much. welcome back to belfast, i am standing here in front of the very ground stormont building where if everything was working normally, the northern ireland assembly would be returning to set this coming week, after the last couple of days of elections which have returned 90 members of the assembly, but what is going to happen in reality is it will be a wake of some pretty intense and frankly difficult talks to try and get around a number of issues that the party has and although mps in

the party has and although mps in the dup party particularly around the dup party particularly around the protocol and although politicians have been talking about getting back to work on monday, that does not mean a return to the power—sharing assembly, but it does mean lots of talks, as i have been mentioning. in the last few minutes, some interesting lines from the irish foreign minister simon coveney who said he does not think the result here in the northern ireland assembly elections were historically, sinn fein, the nationalist party that wants to see a united ireland has emerged for the first time as the largest party, simon coveney speaking in dublin says he does not think that brings a referendum on a united ireland closer. that is a pretty significant comment from the dublin government. he also said the partnership from britain, ratherthan he also said the partnership from britain, rather than threats, he also said the partnership from britain, ratherthan threats, is required to bring about a solution to the issues around the northern ireland protocol. those are the post—brexit trade arrangements governing northern ireland and the democratic unionist party, which is

the second—largest party at stormont, as we have been explaining over the last few days, it does not like the protocol because it thinks that it undermines northern ireland's place within the uk. let us talk about the many issues. i'm joined by louise cullen, a correspondent for bbc northern ireland. 0na on a practical level, what is going to happen over the next week? tomorrow should have seen stream of jubilant returning mla streaming through the pillars behind us to find their places in stormont and stirred the horse around which parties will take which ministries when a new executive is formed. we know that is not going to happen. the course of the next week will be a series of talks between the politicians in northern ireland, the government in the uk, the us has been involved as well, messages from their urging them to form a new executive. the government and the republic as well calling for that, but we know that it's not going to happen because the dup have been firm in their stance that they will not be returning to an executive

unless and until that northern ireland protocol is scrapped. lats ireland protocol is scrapped. lots of initial talks _ ireland protocol is scrapped. lots of initial talks between the ni secretary brandon lewis and party leaders, but tell us more about that dup opposition to the protocol, sinn fein has emerged as the largest party, it opposed brexit, but it accepts the protocol, doesn't it? many of the parties at stormont are quite quietly happy with the protocol and they see it as working for northern ireland and they have been pushing it as an opportunity for trade and investment, northern ireland getting the best of both worlds, one foot in the eu and one footin worlds, one foot in the eu and one foot in the uk. it does impose those checks, an irish sea borderfor goods coming from gb and northern ireland and for the dup in particular and other union is, that is simply the ultimate limit, they cannot accept that, they see that is threatening the position of northern ireland within the context of the uk and they feel it undermines their security and add a constitutional level. they say they want it scrapped but there is a lot of nuance language going on around

that. . , , , ., nuance language going on around that. r , , , ., ., . that. absolutely, we should watch out for those _ that. absolutely, we should watch out for those nuances _ that. absolutely, we should watch out for those nuances in _ that. absolutely, we should watch out for those nuances in the - that. absolutely, we should watch i out for those nuances in the coming days. a lot of people might look at this and say a majority of mlas who have been elected say they want to return to an assembly immediately, explain why that will not happen, because of the good friday agreement and the way it protects the traditions of nationalism and unionism here.— traditions of nationalism and unionism here. the good friday agreement _ unionism here. the good friday agreement holds _ unionism here. the good friday agreement holds those - unionism here. the good friday i agreement holds those traditions unionism here. the good friday - agreement holds those traditions in an equilibrium ensuring that one cannot function without the other, because the largest party was nominated first minister, but the second largest party must nominate a deputy first minister and the first cannot be nominated without the deputy as well. it is a stalemate at the dup will not nominate that a deputy minister because it is its hold over the executive, stopping the executive and be informed. there is a wider question, we saw the surge in the alliance party, they are the third largest party and across denominational party in northern ireland and they are holding 13.5 of the first preference votes, that is a significant bloc,

they have more than doubled the representation here at stormont and thatis representation here at stormont and that is a significant block to take account of, not unionist, not nationalist, but a wider voice that needs to be heard.— nationalist, but a wider voice that needs to be heard. louise, thank you very much- — needs to be heard. louise, thank you very much- its _ needs to be heard. louise, thank you very much. as one _ needs to be heard. louise, thank you very much. as one dup _ needs to be heard. louise, thank you very much. as one dup assembly - very much. as one dup assembly member told me earlier, it is either the protocol or the executive and as for the westminster government, we heard from dominic raab earlier he said that they would be doing everything they could to fix the protocol, he said, in his words, nothing was off at the table. let us see what the week brings and how much of a mention of the protocol will be included, if at all, in the queen's speech. back to you in the studio. there are more than 50,000 new breast cancer cases in the uk every year — but research shows that women from ethnic minority backgrounds are less likely to attend screening. after nagina kaleem was diagnosed, she said some people in the south asian community blamed her for getting the disease. sophia seth has been to meet her. i was feeling like i'm untouchable

person, and very worthless. nagina kaleem started getting breast—cancer symptoms in 2013. this very discomfort in this arm, and a lot of pain and myjoint. the pain worsened. unable to move her arm, she visited the gp, and a lump in her armpit was found. big shock. i don't have any cancer history in my family. nagina struggled to come to terms with her diagnosis, but what made it worse was that some people from parts of south asian communities blamed her for getting breast cancer. they don't take it as a disease. they think that this is the result of that person's sins, or that this is punishment from god. 0r sometimes they think that this person is cursed. some friends just said that, "you should go and repent." one of my friends, she just

stopped talking with me, and for eight years she couldn't talk with me on this topic. some people even refused to get close to her, because they thought they could catch cancer. one of my friends just avoided having tea or water or anything from our home. nagina is keen to stress it was not everyone in her community who treated her like this — but it was enough to make her believe she had done something wrong. i was feeling, why me? why i'm going through this? especially in our communities. people want to be perfect — they don't want to tell about their weaknesses. she had to undergo chemotherapy, a mastectomy, and radiotherapy. she had around nine months of treatment. what got her through it was the support from her immediate family — especially when one of her sons signed up for race for life in 2014.

he ran for me because he thought that, with that step, he could save his mum's life. so that was my strength. nagina is now cancer—free, and is on a mission to break down the stigma surrounding the disease. i really want to educate people. i want to tell them that this is a disease, not a curse — don't feel embarrassed. this is not punishment from their past life of their. . .their actions or their things. this poor lady, she had to deal with the diagnosis of cancer... a breast—cancer surgeon in southampton says he's also heard that some asian and middle eastern communities will refuse to take the gene test for breast cancer, because they believe it may lower their status if they have it. part of it might be the fear of being labelled as a person or a family with a cancer gene. this might have a social impact

in terms of community interaction with them, and it might have an effect on their marriage prospects in the future, as well. it's not very common, but it's been reported before. how important is it to have an early diagnosis? generally speaking, an early diagnosis of a smaller tumour that hasn't progressed into the lymph nodes is commonly treated by a lumpectomy. if the disease progressed to a certain extent and we don't have means to try and downsize it or down—stage it, patients might end up having a mastectomy and a full axillary clearance, for instance. nagina has now started a not—for—profit organisation... i will go through... ..and holds workshops every month to encourage people to talk about cancer. if we make it so common that people don't feel embarrassed, or don't feel any fear from cancer — and if they feel anything

different in their body, just go and see their gps. don't delay that, because early treatment can save many lives. that was sophia seth reporting. more now on the bafta tv awards. channel 4 series it's a sin —— about a group of friends living through the uk's aids crisis in the 1980s —— leads at the bafta television awards today, where it's up for six nominations. joining me is tv critic scott bryan. before we talk more about the baftas in general, there's some news of a new doctor who. ncuti gatwa. yes, this is big news, unexoected — ncuti gatwa. yes, this is big news, unexoected in _ ncuti gatwa. yes, this is big news, unexpected in terms _ ncuti gatwa. yes, this is big news, unexpected in terms of _ ncuti gatwa. yes, this is big news, unexpected in terms of the - ncuti gatwa. yes, this is big news, unexpected in terms of the way - ncuti gatwa. yes, this is big news, unexpected in terms of the way it i unexpected in terms of the way it was announced, it was announced through instagram sure is that he shared and then russell t davies commented on it and then the new

production company then did a screen shot of the instagram story and shared it and then the news came out. i think a lot of people were expecting the announcement of a new doctor to come on baby bbc one during a sporting event next week, but it actually makes sense for it to be announced today that ncuti gatwa is the next doctor. he is a huge star already, he is on sex education sentence back and he is nominated for his role in the programme and he is also presenting an award. it makes sense to announce it on the day that he will be asked by a lot ofjournalists about whether he will be asked if he is the next doctor, he may as well say yes and move on and have that great moment which he deserves.

let's talk more widely about the
