more of his own mps call for him to resign. russia insists — what it calls — the "liberation" of eastern ukraine's donbas region is its "unconditional priority", as eu leaders try to agree a ban on russian oil. the french government has blamed what it called "industrial scale ticket fraud" for the chaos at this weekend's champions league final. at this weekend's it comes after french ministers held emergency talks this morning with police and european football officials. there's been widespread condemnation of the tactics of french police, who used tear gas and pepper spray on thousands of liverpool fans as they queued for hours to get into the stadium in paris. our sports correspondent nesta mcgregor reports.

pandemonium in paris. fall back! some of the images which marked the biggest night in european club football. french police using tear gas and pepper spray as liverpool fans waited to enter the stadium. even with a 35—minute delay to kick off, there were plenty of empty seats as police and stadium officials struggled to regain control. the knowledge of crowd management that i got having worked on the hillsborough inquest, i could see problems even at that stage that there was operational chaos on the ground, there were structural problems with the ground in that the entrances they were making the liverpool fans go to, you have to pass under underpass onto the motorway, but the police, operationally, were making catastrophically bad decisions. st petersburg in russia was the original venue for saturday's final but because of the countries invasion of ukraine, it was moved to paris. uefa, european football's governing body, has blamed crowd trouble on fans turning up late and claimed

some had counterfeit tickets. it is the worst situation i have ever seen outside a football ground in 27 years of going to football, home and abroad. i have been to a champions league final before, i have been to a europa league final before, i have never seen anything like that. the club has condemned the treatment of some fans who travelled to france and has demanded uefa look into what caused the trouble and how it was dealt with. uefa held an emergency committee meeting this morning with french authorities. liverpool celebrated winning the league and fa cup with a parade through the city yesterday which was a trouble—free but there are those who believe the past behaviour of british football fans abroad did play a part on saturday. there is a feeling, of course, based on history, that english fans are more difficult to handle than others and i think that has been guiding decisions and in this case, i don't think anybody should

blame the fans, actually, because it was poorly organised. in france, though, there had been similar scenes this season. last night as st etienne were relegated from the french top flight, players ran for cover as fans stormed the pitch. with paris due to host the rugby world cup next year and the olympics in 2024, french authorities have questions to answer. nesta mcgregor, bbc news, liverpool. french sports minister amelie oudea—castera and interior minister gerald darmanin are at meeting with others there were difficulties the way we manage this. we do not want to say we did everything well. clearly not. but there were a number of circumstances that made it difficult

to put in the transportation, the late arrival in the fact that we did not know that we are not able to locate the people when they arrived here. there were not very clear journey from the fans onto the stadium and no organised burst in on that front, was very different from when madrid organised the young supporters. our correspondent hugh schofield joins me from paris. this is a big claim that there were industrial scale ticket fraud and tells the root cause the problem that's of the interior ministry has been saying. it that's of the interior ministry has been saying-— that's of the interior ministry has been saying. it is. you heard that the tradition _ been saying. it is. you heard that the tradition of— been saying. it is. you heard that the tradition of all— been saying. it is. you heard that the tradition of all responsibility l the tradition of all responsibility and regretting the fact that families and young people and old people were destined sprayed with

peppe" people were destined sprayed with pepper spray and that their difficulties directing the flow of liverpool fans up to the stadium from the station and was hit by a strike. and they're saying that there was a certain part of responsibility in all of this quite clearly, the greater part of it as they will continue to see controversially that there is a fact that there was this massive extra, unwanted amount of supporters showing up at the stadium and they were blaming that on ticket fraud and on promiscuous ticket fraud on a mass scale and the ministers said it was industrial of the ticket fraud resulting in 40,000 extra people and have of the number of people they can hold and the explanation that this is the origination of the

problem, creating influx of local delinquents, cleaning the problems that we saw. but it's a version with a certain degree of scepticism not just in britain but people who are here on saturday night and saying, not, all that is born from what we saw. after liverpool fans here can i get in, where were they. so a couple thousand were waiting to get in and there wasn't a massive 40,000 fans without tickets waiting to get in and the degree of scepticism, not just britain but the people who follow british football about the government explanation to which it smacks too much of a convenient way to blame the foreigners. the smacks too much of a convenient way to blame the foreigners.— to blame the foreigners. the leading french newspaper _ to blame the foreigners. the leading french newspaper to _ to blame the foreigners. the leading french newspaper to sing _ to blame the foreigners. the leading french newspaper to sing french - french newspaper to sing french authorities are in denial about the shortcomings that the french police officers union is saying that the

and there are elections coming up and it's a reminder of the ongoing weather and they're saying that is the problem and just of the government does not want to look at it. when the game ended, it was chaos. the organised groups are robbing people, harassing them, breaking car windows knows absolute chaos. we saw people being attacked over here, over there, all of the place. it is absolute chaos. i2 over there, all of the place. it is absolute chaos. 12 female spanish journalist for crying and we had to help them. and it was a nightmare.

i've been to games and liverpool, the munich, milan, cardiff, and russia, i've never seen anything like this. there were not enough resources and there wasn't enough respect for the fans. we were left high and dry but the spanish fans and the english ones. there are groups of spanish and english fans trying to work together to not get robbed. many fence together in the report from madrid to gather together so they would not get robbed. it was crazy.— together so they would not get robbed. it was crazy. talking to the bbc about what _ robbed. it was crazy. talking to the bbc about what he _ robbed. it was crazy. talking to the bbc about what he saw _ robbed. it was crazy. talking to the bbc about what he saw on - robbed. it was crazy. talking to the bbc about what he saw on the - robbed. it was crazy. talking to the | bbc about what he saw on the night. two more conservative mps have called for the prime minister to resign over parties during lockdown. in a post on his website,

the former attorney general, jeremy wright, attacked what he called the "contemptuous attitude" shown by people in downing street. and the mp for carshalton and wallington, elliot colburn, has also submitted a letter calling for a vote of no confidence against prime minister boris johnson. fifty four letters are required to trigger a no confidence vote. i asked our political correspondent alex forysth how many mps does this tell alex forysth how many mps does this us what this big tell us what this all means, quite a big name in the tory party, does that have much significance in what are the numbers looking like? how worried will borisjohnson be by the numbers adding up? inuiith a be by the numbers adding up? with a more significant _ be by the numbers adding up? with a more significant figures _ be by the numbers adding up? with a more significant figures to _ be by the numbers adding up? with a more significant figures to come - more significant figures to come up publicly call for borisjohnson to go in surgeon and the cabinets above david cameron and theresa may and in a lengthy statement over 2000 words, since the prime minister has been negligent in its been doing lasting

damage to the institutions of government that personal leadership of the party is hindering efforts to do other things across the country and calls on him to resign and as mentioned earlier, elliott colburn represents a greater seat where he won byjust represents a greater seat where he won by just a represents a greater seat where he won byjust a few hundred votes over the lib dems. he submitted a lever to make a litter of no confidence to the committee and 54 letters going in which means a confidence vote in borisjohnson. speaking of boris johnson. speaking of confidence borisjohnson. speaking of confidence votes. the mp for cities of london and westminster, under the lib dem targets seat and there's going to be a general election, so borisjohnson should actually submit himself to the process of a confidence vote to end of the speculation about his future leadership and the letter to constituents, does not state whether they have submitted or delivered to they have submitted or delivered to the i992 they have submitted or delivered to the 1992 committee but the only people who know sue graham brady and

seeing how much can be received and how much can be seen for the day by day, more discontent of the tory back benches because of boris johnson as leader. i5 back benches because of boris johnson as leader.— johnson as leader. is that discontent _ johnson as leader. is that discontent noting - johnson as leader. is that| discontent noting steamer johnson as leader. is that _ discontent noting steamer momentum is adjusted daily trickle? the discontent noting steamer momentum is adjusted daily trickle?— is adjusted daily trickle? the big roblem is adjusted daily trickle? the big problem with — is adjusted daily trickle? the big problem with daily _ is adjusted daily trickle? the big problem with daily trickles - is adjusted daily trickle? the big problem with daily trickles is - is adjusted daily trickle? the big | problem with daily trickles is that it can trickle into the threshold of 54 and the triggers that no confidence vote and i don't think this seems to be any plan going on at the moment, any coordination between the conservative mps but we do know that we've heard of 26 publicly saying that they do not have faith in borisjohnson is leadership of the conservative party. ten since that sucre report and the danger for borisjohnson, party. ten since that sucre report and the dangerfor borisjohnson, i think is that trickle does eventually overlap 54 letter marks and does have to face a vote of

confidence. certainly every day and every new name coming out calling for borisjohnson to go probably creates a bit of a problem for downing street. the headlines on bbc news... the french government said the fake tickets were sold to liverpool fans on an industrial scale and the champions league final, but it does also accept some responsibility from how fans there were treated. further pressure on the prime minister is to more of his own mps call on him to resign. in ukraine, russian forces have been advancing on the centre of the key city in the eastern don on the centre of the key city in the eastern donbas

france made things worse. the first element, the root cause of all that, was the volume of full stick its or persons without any tickets. —— the volume of false tickets. —— the volume of false tickets. we know there were a number of adverse circumstances that made the problem even harsher, late arrival around the stadium, difficulties in the transportation, difficulties in the transportation, difficulties also to locate the british people that were everywhere around the stadium, without us being able to know where exactly they came from and how they arrived at the stadium. it's absolute nonsense, what she's saying _ it's absolute nonsense, what she's saying there isjust not true. i saying there isjust not true. don't saying there isjust not true. i don't know how they can use that statement — don't know how they can use that statement when _ don't know how they can use that statement when if _ don't know how they can use that statement when if you've - don't know how they can use that statement when if you've not - don't know how they can use that - statement when if you've not showed genuine _ statement when if you've not showed genuine ticket, — statement when if you've not showed genuine ticket, how— statement when if you've not showed genuine ticket, how do _ statement when if you've not showed genuine ticket, how do they- statement when if you've not showed genuine ticket, how do they ever - genuine ticket, how do they ever know_ genuine ticket, how do they ever know which— genuine ticket, how do they ever know which ones _ genuine ticket, how do they ever know which ones were _ genuine ticket, how do they ever know which ones were were - genuine ticket, how do they ever. know which ones were were genuine and which _ know which ones were were genuine and which were _ know which ones were were genuine and which were fake, _ know which ones were were genuine and which were fake, if— know which ones were were genuine and which were fake, if the - know which ones were were genuine and which were fake, if the people l and which were fake, if the people didnt— and which were fake, if the people didn't have — and which were fake, if the people didn't have to— and which were fake, if the people didn't have to show— and which were fake, if the people didn't have to show a _ and which were fake, if the people didn't have to show a ticket? - and which were fake, if the people didn't have to show a ticket? findl and which were fake, if the people didn't have to show a ticket? and if ou look didn't have to show a ticket? and if you look at — didn't have to show a ticket? and if you look at the _ didn't have to show a ticket? and if you look at the likes _ didn't have to show a ticket? and if you look at the likes of _ didn't have to show a ticket? and if you look at the likes of andy - you look at the likes of andy robertson, who gave his best mate a

that�*s worse by 28%. the number of recorded crimes which end up with someone being charged has fallen by 40% in the same period. the government says it is committed to improving the speed of police responses. our special correspondent ed thomas has this report. three, four, five, six, seven. it�*s the perfect storm. i don�*t think there�*s a point in ringing the police any more, because there�*s nothing being done. police are solving fewer recorded crimes. everything thrown all over my house, windows smashed. they are taking longer to respond. leaving the public losing faith. do you have confidence in the police coming out? waste of time. they come out six hours later when they have all gone. this is in kent. it was a ball bearing probably eight or ten millimetres. it was pretty much shot straight through. this is where it hit me on the leg. where were you? sitting in the garden.

we spoke to half a dozen neighbours who all said the street is being tormented by teenagers firing ball bearings. going through double glazed glass, you can really do some injury to someone�*s skull. after repeated calls to the police, many here said officers don�*t turn up at all. i've reported it, nothing came of it, that was it. this, i've just kept it since. at what point do you then go and say, enough is enough? | is it when a child dies? our research shows that the proportion of recorded crimes leading to charges has fallen by 40%. we have also learned that police are taking longer to arrive at emergency call—outs. 0ur information request syndicate forces are now 25% slower to arrive at emergent incidents than six years ago. —— our requests indicate. one, two, three, four. we move north to leigh. this is robert�*s teenage grandson being attacked in february. he says months later, the police have failed

to visit the family. considering i pay their wages, really annoyed. and at the end of the day, if that is what the country sees, it is getting worse, and worse, and worse. this is the actual footage of them attacking me. we then met stephen. being kicked all over the floor, and hit with bars, knuckle dusters. he says after this beating, life got worse. this is the state they left my house. — this is the state they left my house, windows smashed... he has been repeatedly burgled. that is my son's bedroom. he says the police and forensic teams have not been out to visit for two of the burglaries. it's my kids, my home, my car, everything. it's gone. i've got nothing at all. ijust need the police to help me and they won't. theyjust won't help me. what do you want to say to the police? please, get out and help people in need. i'm in need of help. i need some help. we have also learned of police not turning up for sexual assaults and domestic violence incidents.

one woman, who says she was assaulted by an ex—partner in front of her two and four—year—old children, was told no one could visit her until the following morning. if officers had attended, they may have seen the man return again later that evening. i could actually see my car, my stolen car. desperate, michelle turned to facebook to find her stolen car, she was even sent this cctv but she still could not persuade officers to help. we would be on the phone to police three or four times every night saying, this is where my car is. one night, she followed her stolen car. she was confronted with a man with a crowbar before escaping. the next day, it was found abandoned. you just think, who do you go to if you are in trouble? the home office says it is committed to improving local police, and that the public should have confidence that forces will prevent crime. ed thomas reporting.

a london hospital has apologised after a woman who suffered a late miscarriage had to keep the remains of her baby in a fridge at home, because nhs staff said they couldn�*t store them safely. miscarriage support groups say that care across the country varies widely, and hospitals need to prioritise staff training. the bbc�*s global health correspondent tulip mazumdar reports, and there are some upsetting and graphic descriptions in her report. there�*s a sprig of leaves that we took from our garden. and then the other thing in here, we�*ve got the baby�*s ashes. these precious items, a memory box for laura and lawrence�*s baby. some comfort in a time of utter despair. it�*s been just two months since the couple suffered a late miscarriage, 15 weeks into their pregnancy. it happened after they were sent home from hospital having been told their baby no longer

had a heartbeat. there were no beds available, the hospital said, for laura to give birth there. i woke up in really quite bad pain. i felt a lot of pressure. and so i ran upstairs to the bathroom and that�*s where i delivered the baby. and so i scooped it out, put it in the sink, realised it was a baby boy. the couple called 999 but were advised that this wasn�*t an emergency. and so they placed their baby�*s remains in a box and went into a&e, which they say was chaos. there's no—one at this hospital who's willing to take charge of our baby. and it's been in a hot room for nearly five hours now. so we decided together that i would go home. so i took the box, cleared out some space in our fridge and put him there.

as harrowing as it is to talk about what happened, the couple say they�*re speaking out to try and ensure this doesn�*t happen to anyone else. a statement from lewisham and greenwich nhs trust, where laura was treated, says... "we are deeply sorry and offer our sincerest condolences to miss brody and her partner for the tragic loss of their baby and these traumatic experiences." it goes on to say a full investigation is under way to understand where failings in care may have occurred so that any necessary changes and improvements can be made. it�*s beyond sad, really. it�*s unbearable. there should be an available cold place. there simply should be somewhere where pregnancy remains of these tiny little babies can be safely and respectfully and carefully stored. the importance of pregnancy loss

care is increasingly being recognised. here at birmingham women�*s hospital, work is starting on a first of its kind in the uk bereavement centre. this site is going to - be our woodland house. we'll be able to look after our families going through early. pregnancy loss who want to come back in and collect their pregnancy, - maybe for a little burial at home or a funeral. . amongst the smell of fresh roses and a feeling of being close to family, laura and lawrence can remember and grieve. this is the crematorium where my grandparents�* ashes were scattered and their plaque�*s here. and we were thinking of putting the baby�*s ashes here as well. we just felt like the baby�*s already been so alone. and this way, at least it�*s near us. and it�*s near family. tulip mazumdar, bbc news.

after the bbc�*s coverage of that story today, of the tragic experience of that couple, the nhs hospital involved has announced measures to ensure a miscarriage care is improved. there are some in greenwich nhs trust has announced plans for a specialist clinic offering care and also promised review processes to ensure a compassionate and timely support and make it easier to raise urgent concerns in early pregnancy. and if you�*ve been affected by any of the issues raised in tulip�*s report, you can find links for support and help at bbc.co.uk/actionline. graduates from the world�*s top universities will be able to apply to come to the uk under a new visa scheme.

successful applicants will be given a work visa lasting two or three years, depending on their degree. the government said the scheme would attract the "brightest and best". the headlines on bbc news... the french government has said that fake tickets were sold to liverpool fans on an industrial scale for saturday�*schampions league final but does also accept some responsibility for how fans they were treated. there is further pressure this evening on the prime minister as two more of his own mps have called on him to resign. and in ukraine, russian forces are advancing on the centre of the key city of severodonetsk in the eastern donbas. environmental groups have claimed that dozens of fires have been illegally started on moorland estates with deep peat soils. the government introduced new rules on the practice in england last year. here�*s our climate editor, justin rowlatt.

a huge fire burns on the upland peat soils of the north yorkshire moors. burning vegetation during autumn and winter has been a traditional part of the management of peat moorland for more than 100 years. peat is the most carbon rich of all soils. it forms in waterlogged areas from partly decomposed plant material. how deep is the peat here? let�*s find out. yeah, let�*s find out. whoa! so, it�*s over a metre depth here. last year, the government banned fires on peat soils deeper than 40cm in certain conservation areas, describing these soils as "england�*s national rainforests" because of how much carbon they store. but these "rainforests" are still being set on fire, according to the rspb and greenpeace. the rspb says it has sent the government evidence on 79 fires it believes are in breach of the new regulations. greenpeace used satellites to detect

fires in protected areas. using satellite evidence like this is a real game changer in terms of monitoring peat fires. i don't have to be on the moors. i canjust come into the office and i can see within a matter of minutes where there have been fires. the campaigning organisation says it has found 51 fires it believes break the new rules. 0n the bowes estate in the yorkshire dales national park, one of the locations identified by greenpeace, the bbc found evidence of burning on deep peat. so, we�*re already more than 40cm. there�*s peat all the way. and this one�*s 67cm deep. the bbc approached the landowner for comment, but received no reply. the government didn�*t want to be interviewed for this report, but it confirmed it has received evidence that claims to show illegal fires. it told the bbc any cases where a breach of consent

or regulation is suspected will be investigated. the moorland association, which represents the owners of moorland estates, told the bbc it welcomed the government investigation. it said its members would co—operate fully and help with any queries. the rspb and greenpeace claim their evidence shows the current ban isn�*t working and say all burning on peat soils should be banned. the government told the bbc it would not be able to comment further until any investigation into claims of illegal fires has been completed. justin rowlatt, bbc news, the yorkshire moors. a 36—year—old man disguised as an old lady in a wheelchair has been arrested after he smeared a glass screen encasing the mona lisa with cake. the incident is thought to be a protest against artists not focusing enough on climate change.

officials at the louvre museum in paris, where the famous work resides, have so far declined to comment, but an inquiry has been opened. the government in the indian state of punjab has promised to spare no efforts investigating the murder of the singer, sidhu moose wala — who was shot dead on sunday. the singer and rapper was a huge star in india and tributes have been pouring in. i�*m joined by the bbc�*s arvind chhabra, who is in punjab for us now. there have been a lot of protests

following this because only a couple of days back his security was a scale back down to two. but more importantly, he was not accompanied by a single security personnel when this happened. so full on that issues of protests have taken place in punjab, as well as dozens of surrounding areas, people are demanding justice, the family demanded justice, the police have said this looks like a case of inter—gang rivalry. remember, there are many gangs still in operation in punjab. the parents, the family of sidhu moose wala, have declined this claim of the police, they refuse to believe this claim of the police, and they want a thorough investigation following which a high courtjudge is being entrusted with this task to inquire into the entire incident. i this task to inquire into the entire incident. . , ., ,

incident. i mean, the government is sa in: incident. i mean, the government is saying they — incident. i mean, the government is saying they will _ incident. i mean, the government is saying they will leave _ incident. i mean, the government is saying they will leave no _ incident. i mean, the government is saying they will leave no stone - saying they will leave no stone unturned to bring the perpetrators to justice, unturned to bring the perpetrators tojustice, but give unturned to bring the perpetrators to justice, but give us an idea unturned to bring the perpetrators tojustice, but give us an idea of how big a star he was, and what he meant across the whole country. he: started singing just about four or five years ago butjust in this time, he became a huge singer and his sons were heard across the country, particularly in the northern area of punjab... his colloquial style of singing, he became a household name. in rural and urban households. but also, often his songs were sort of glorifying violence in culture and he was often criticised for this. and i remember having interviewed him a couple of months ago and asked him a couple of months ago and asked

him this question, why are you promoting gun culture? he said, he basically loves guns but he�*s not really promoting gun culture, he�*s just singing these songs because people want to listen to them. and meanwhile in this state now, people are protesting and demanded justice for him. tomorrow is the cremation and police and security forces are on alert and are now trying to ensure that nothing happens because people are very angry at what has happened, especially because of security being reduced. but more importantly, it has leaked to the media that his security had been scaled down and only two commandos were now with him instead of four, that�*s why every one in the state looks very angry. that's why every one in the state looks very angry-— that's why every one in the state looks very angry. thank you very much indeed. _

english heritage has paid its own tribute to the queen for her platinum jubilee. it projected eight portraits of queen elizabeth ii onto stonehenge in wiltshire, each picture from a different decade of the queen�*s reign. the celebratory light show happened before dawn, with the highlight a a black and white photograph of the queen at her coronation in june 1953. the images also include one of her riding, and one with one of her favourite corgi dogs. and the queen is currently in balmoral for a short break ahead of the platinum jubilee celebrations. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordan has been chatting with locals who live in the village nearby, about their thoughts and memories of the queen. in ballater, they are getting ready for the jubilee festivities. good afternoon, ma�*am. this is a part of the country the queen is said to love. she�*s a familiar sight on royal deeside. and here, they�*re celebrating not just a monarch, but a neighbour. oh, it�*s a fantastic achievement.

wow! and a great servant to the country, and the amount of things she has done for this country and the area, as well. archive: balmoral has been almost the only place where the queen - could relax from affairs of state. her time here is an opportunity to step back from some of the formality of royal life and to take an active role in the community her family has been part of for generations. she is a regular at the local kirk and fete. there was one occasion when somebody said to me, "oh, i made a little mistake with the queen today, "i spoke to her in doric." and i said, "what did you say?" "i asked, �*foos yer mither?�*" the queen replied in doric, apparently, and said, "nae bad, foos yer own?" it was another exchange at this kirk that made headlines in what some interpreted as an intervention on the country�*s future. it was here shortly before the referendum on scottish independence that the queen told a well—wisher that she hoped voters would think very carefully about the future. it�*s very odd for her to go anywhere near political issues and so i was slightly surprised

about it, but it didn�*t cross a red line. scots, polls suggest, are less keen on the monarchy than in other parts of the uk, but many feel real fondness for the queen herself. if i read the scottish people correctly, they are impressed by a person like that who does her duty comprehensively, has lived through the greatest set of changes probably in the history of the union since 1707, and is still highly, highly respected. nowhere more so than here... i'll give you just the two bars before. ..at rehearsals for ballater�*sjubilee service. i used to work for her years ago, so she's very special to me and we're so happy to be able to do something for her this year. i would just like to wish her a very, very happyjubilee l celebration and know that everyone in royal deeside sends— their best wishes to her. # congratulations...# celebrating her relationship with this area, with scotland,

and her 70 years of service. lorna gordon, bbc news, ballater. now it�*s time for a look at the weather. how is it looking, if you can look that far ahead, to thejubilee? that far ahead, to the jubilee? yes, that far ahead, to thejubilee? yes, we can look that far ahead and i will. yes, we can look that far ahead and iwill. 0f yes, we can look that far ahead and i will. of course a lot of people will be hoping for dry weather and not the tempestuous sky is that some of us have had overhead today. there have been some pretty sharp showers around. that was the scene there in perth and kinross. there have been lots of shares around today, this is the radar picture from the last few hours, some of those showers have been heavy and thundery across parts of eastern england especially, but many places so showers, very few stay dry, and actual lows will continue in places tonight, some heavy ones developing across the south—east corner, some clear spells as well, and temperatures in parts of eastern scotland to get close to

freezing, may be down to one or two in some places, so a cool start to tuesday morning. the reason for all of the showers is low pressure, but you can see, not many white lines at all on this chart, but many isobars, meaning winds will be relatively light, we will see showers rotating around that area of low pressure. tomorrow another sunshine and showers day and we could well see a band of some more persistent rain across parts of northern ireland. again some of the showers heavy and thundery but for parts of wales in the south—west, by the afternoon, it looks likely there will be fewer showers, more dry weather and sunshine, and as a consequence the highest temperatures 17 for cardiff and plymouth. tuesday night into wednesday, we continue to see showers rotating around our area of low pressure, perhaps some slightly more persistent rain across southern parts for our time on wednesday morning, but the story on wednesday as for those showers to gradually shift eastwards to western areas, for northern ireland and parts of wales, the south—west, not as many

showers, summer sunshine in the mix, temperatures a bit higher, 17, may be 19. then we get into the long weekend. as promised, look at the forecast. thursday doesn�*t look too bad, dry weather and sunshine, but there is the chance of catching a shower, especially where cloud increases for a time across parts of scotland. but where we do see sunshine on thursday, it should feel a little warmer. no heatwave but 18 to 21 or 22. the main ingredient of the weatherfor the to 21 or 22. the main ingredient of the weather for the jubilee to 21 or 22. the main ingredient of the weather for thejubilee weekend is this area of high pressure trying to keep things settled. a few showers may break out at times, despite that area of high pressure, and low pressure swirling to the south does just introduce the threat of one or two showers into southern areas through saturday and perhaps more especially sunday. it doesn�*t look too bad. 0ften drive must sunshine, feeling warm in the sunshine, feeling warm in the sunshine, just the chance of one or two showers at times. —— often dry,

some sunshine.

france blames "industrial scale" ticket fraud for the chaos at the champions league final as emergency talks are held about how the match was policed. there�*s been widespread condemnation of the treatment and use of teargas on liverpool fans, who�*d had to queue for hours to get into the stade de france. the problem was not the liverpool fans, the problem was a completely ineffective crowd management strategy. uefa and the parisian police have so many questions to answer. as the row continues about what went wrong, we�*ll have the latest from paris and will be live at anfield. also on tonight�*s programme... a bbc investigation shows police forces in england and wales are taking longer to attend serious offences and are charging fewer

suspects than six years ago.
