we've got a bag full of snacks and drinks, so we will be fine. what is it that you love so much about billy eilish? i think it's the fact that she's going to be the youngest headliner, and i thinkjust her energy, what she stands for in terms of not letting criticism get to her. i think she is just very much herself all the time, - and i think her music resonatesl a lot with like people, especially like ourage. 15 miles up the road in the town of froom this afternoon, the saturday night headliner, sir paul mccartney, was playing a warm up show in an 800 capacity venue. i'm not on facebook or twitter so i didn't know he was going to be here. i didn't know anything about it till i saw it on the news. when he steps onto the pyramid stage it will be to a crowd of over 100,000. colin paterson, bbc news, glastonbury.

time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. look at this weather watcher picture from glastonbury. thank you very much. bright skies but clouding over a little and there could be showery rain later. highland scotland, glorious here at the moment. doesn't that beach look very inviting chris make the best of the sunshine has been to eastern scotland, eastern england as well. thicker cloud, rain starting to push into cornwall and into south wales, eventually towards glastonbury as well. ahead of that, some heat and humidity. to the east of the pennines, we could see sharp, thundery downpours being triggered this afternoon. if you get those, they could be torrential at times. that's worth bearing in mind. that is where the highest temperatures are likely to be, 2526 celsius. cooler and fresher out of the west. it is that fresher air that will spread steadily north, bringing

showers through the night tonight, but clearer skies, so temperatures will hold up into double figures, but you will probably notice the difference widely across the country. we start the weekend dry, settled and sunny, but low pressure and conduct of the west will be driving in some stronger winds along west facing coast and eventually some showers. they may move further north and east for the second half of saturday. it slightly fresher feel generally, 18—22 c, but more shelter in the east with more sunshine, and that won't feel too bad. hopefully headingley, fewer showers around, so going with a glass half full, i think the weather will be largely financed dry. looking at glastonbury tomorrow, it wouldn't be glastonbury without some showers in the forecast, but that is not too bad at all. as we move into sunday, we still have that low pressure with us, and it could bring more persistent rain, particularly to the west. around that, strong

winds. a blustery wind on sunday. the far south and east will always see the best of bright sunny moments. more rain will move in from the west, affecting all western areas through the day. low 20s are quite possible. that low pressure not going very far very fast, i'm afraid. it looks likely as we go into next week that temperatures will be down on where they have been of late. plenty of frequent showers to the north and west. if we will see the best of the sunshine it will be in the south—east. enjoy your weekend. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news.

mitchell scored his third century in three tests with at lunch new zealand on 325 for eight. the draw for wimbledon has taken place. british number one emma raducanu will take on belgium's alison van uytvanck in the first round. 0ur sports correspondent laura scott is at wimbledon. laura, what a difference a year makes. raducanu burst onto the scene as a wildcard last year, now she's the number—ten seed. there are few people who would have known who emma raducanu was this time last year and now all very different because a lot of eyes will be on how she performs at wimbledon given she reached the fourth round

last year and went on to win the us open. she comes here as the tenth seed and has quite a difficult first round draw against the belgian alison van uytvanck who is the world number 46 and has reached the fourth round here before. emma raducanu has played just seven games on the grass so far this season, seven games and not seven matches. she retired in the first round of nottingham injured but as things stand she will be here and will be practising later on today on number one court so we will get a chance to see just how she is moving. the ladies�* draw is headed by iga swiatek, the top seed from poland, who has 35 wins in a row which is

mightily impressive and has drawn the world number 254, jana fett. a lot of eyes on serena williams who is making her singles return in a year since hobbling off court at wimbledon last year and since then she has turned a0 and has not played a singles match but she has played doubles at eastbourne and is playing harmony tan, a wimbledon first timer, the world number 113 in the first round. as serena williams eyes a remarkable eighth wimbledon title and 24th grand slam win. as for the men's draw, murray mound will be full throughout the tournament but the question is, will we get to see andy murray? suggest his abdominal injury from stuttgart is healing and he has drawn the australian james duckworth, number 77. novak djokovic. is the top seed because of the absence of the belarusian

more tremors have been felt in eastern afghanistan — following wednesday's powerful earthquake which killed over 1,000 people. efforts are continuing to get aid to the worst hit areas ——— survivors say they have nothing to eat, no shelter, and fear a possible cholera outbreak. the bbc�*s secunder kermani reports from paktika province. aid agencies have been transporting food and tents to the earthquake—hit parts of giyan and barmal districts, here in paktika province, travelling along the long, dirt bumpy road from sharan, the nearest big city which is where we are now. taliban military helicopters have

also been used to fly in supplies because the location is so remote. taliban officials telling us the search and rescue operation is now over, the focus very much on those who survived this earthquake, getting them adequate food and shelter. mobile health teams are also visiting these villages. yesterday, in a briefing at the security council, a senior un official described this disaster as a tragic reminder of the myriad dangers facing the afghan people at this moment. the country was already in the middle of an economic and humanitarian crisis with average incomes slashed by about a third, that's in a country where many people were already struggling just to survive. this and whilst humanitarian aid, that immediate short—term aid is being delivered, wider international development funding that the previous government used to rely on, well, much of that has been cut off ever since the taliban took power last august. a man's been sentenced to life with a minimum of 15 years for the murder of six—year—old rikki neave almost 28—year—ago.

the schoolboy�*s naked body was found near his peterborough home the day after he disappeared in november 1994. james watson, now a1, was found guilty of his murder at the old bailey. jo black reports. rikki neave was a blue—eyed boy with a cheeky personality. in 1994, when the six—year—old was found murdered in woodland on peterborough�*s welland estate, detectives believed ruth neave, a mother of four who had been involved with drugs, killed her own son. she was jailed for child cruelty, but cleared unanimously by a jury of rikki's murder. now, nearly 28 years on, rikki's real killer has been brought to justice. today, james watson is 41, but he was a 13—year—old schoolboy when he strangled rikki, stripped him naked and posed his dead body in the shape

of a star. police believe this was for watson's sexual gratification. i say rot in hell. how could you murder a little boy like that? have you got no shame? ruth neave is now in ill health, but aided by her husband, gary, wants to talk about the years they spent fighting for the truth about her son's death. i met ruth 14 years ago and she told me on the first day we went out and i made her a promise and i said, when you're ready, we'll fight it and i'll get you and rikki truth and justice. eight years ago, ruth thought, now's the time. a year later, in 2015, a cold case investigation into rikki's death began and a fresh team of officers was brought in to re—examine the evidence. back in 1994, the school uniform rikki had been wearing on the day he died was found dumped in a bin. years later, using forensic techniques not available at the time, dna on rikki's clothing was linked to james watson. it was a key piece of evidence,

but he concocted a story telling police it was there because he had lifted rikki up to see over a fence and get a better view of diggers on a nearby building site, picked him up from behind under his armpits and held him up against this fence, you know, for a second, 30 seconds or so, to look at the diggers. but detectives were able to prove that fence didn't exist back in 1994.

for rikki's family, watson's conviction has brought some comfort, but they still miss ricky. he was a cheeky one. it's taken nearly three decades with many twists and turns. but the rikki neave murder case has finally been solved. jo black, bbc news. speaking outside court, former assistant chief constable, paul fullwood — who led the cold case — made this statement. the sentencing today marks the final chapter in ourjourney to secure justice for rikki and his family. it has taken a significant period of time to get to this point. but we made a promise that we would find the person responsible for rikki's death, and it's a promise that we've kept. historical murders are notoriously difficult to investigate, and this came with significant challenges. but we've used every tool available to overcome these obstacles. this result was possible thanks to a committed and hardworking team closely linked into the crown prosecution service and the support from rikki's family and witnesses involved in the original case. rikki was a six—year—old little boy. he was a kind and cheeky chap who was cruelly taken under the most horrendous of circumstances.

his memory lives on through his family who've had to deal with loss for the rest of their lives. but now they finally know they have answers. they know what happened and they know who took rikki from them. and we really, really hope this gives them some peace. for years, watson had hidden away, knowing he was responsible for rikki's murder and thinking he'd gotten away with it. but this is no longer the case. he will spend years behind bars and the truth is finally out. the headlines on bbc news: crushing defeats for the prime minister and his conservative party in two by—elections — prompting the resignation of the party chairman.

but borisjohnson vows to "keep going". labour re—takes the west yorkshire seat of wakefield, which it lost at the 2019 general election. and the lib dems overturn a huge conservative 24,000 majority in tiverton and honiton in devon. a 41—year—old man is jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years for murdering six—year—old schoolboy rikki neave in 1994.

on to other news now and the us senate has passed a gun control bill — the most significant firearms legislation in 30 years. the new bill includes tougher background checks for buyers younger than 21 and billions in funding for mental health and school security. the reforms fall short of the demands of gun control advocates. senate majority leader, chuck schumer, said it was overdue. this is not a cure all for all of the ways that gun violence affects our nation, but it is a long overdue step in the right direction. passing this gun safety bill is truly significant, and it is going to save lives. we spoke to our correspondent peter bowes who is in los angeles and asked how signficant a development this vote is. this is the most significant gun legislation to come out of congress in almost 30 years. now, it isn't a done deal yet. clearly it has been passed in the senate. it now goes to the house of representatives, where it is also expected to pass. it could happen very quickly — in the next day or so — and then it will head to the desk of president biden, where he will sign it into law. this is legislation that the president wanted to see. it doesn't go as far as he and many others wanted. it doesn't see a ban

on assault—style weapons, for example, or those high—capacity magazines, but it does include a raft of other measures that there is bipartisan support for. we've had 50 democrats, 15 republicans in the senate. if you think of recent political history, that's a very unusual situation, to get that level of agreement on legislation and especially gun legislation. so, we have this bill that, for example, includes increased background checks for people under the age of 21 if they want to buy a gun. there will be financial assistance for the states to enforce so—called red flag laws where guns can essentially be confiscated from individuals if they are deemed to be a threat or a danger to themselves or other people. and there's going to be a tremendous amount of money — millions of dollars — to spend on mental health programmes and also security in schools.

there'll be further misery for passengers after hundreds of ba staff at heathrow airport voted to go on strike over pay. ben boulous has been looking at the reasons behind the action. 700 british airways ground workers and checking staff have voted to go on strike this summer. it's a row about pay. their union says that british airways imposed a 10% pay cut during the pandemic to help it survive when, of course, passenger numbers completely collapsed. they're saying that hasn't now been reinstated. the airline, for its part, says it has made a 10% pay offer, which most other staff have accepted and says it is incredibly disappointed by this action. we don't have the exact strike date yet, but it's expected to be during the peak summer holiday travel period and it could result in flight cancellations and disruption. let's find out a little

bit more about this. joining me is the travel journalist, simon calder. simon, when will we know which dates this strike may well happen? well, the earliest that the strike could take place if they announce strike dates today would be the 8th ofjuly. however, the noises i'm hearing from the unions suggest that actually it's probably going to be later injuly. and my sort of target date, although please don't take anything until we hear for definite, would be around the 22nd ofjuly. friday is a really busy day here at heathrow and that would also spread into maybe the saturday and the sunday, the start of the main school summer holidays for lots of families in england and wales. if people are watching this, worried about the impact it could have on their flights or their travel plans, what can they do now for peace of mind? nothing, really. if you ask your travel agent, if you ask british airways what's happening to my flight, they'lljust say, well,

as far as we know, it's going ahead as normal. there's nothing you can do. you won't be able to get a refund at this stage. if you've got a really important journey, you could book a kind of reserve flight on anotherairline. but if your ba flight goes ahead and probably most of them will, then you're not going to get any refund from that. so it's again, a little bit of frustration means people are feeling apprehensive. but i've got bookings with british airways this summer. i'm assuming at the moment they're all going ahead. now, if you're on holiday and your flight is cancelled during this period or disrupted, there is this rule that the airline has to get you onto a flight, even if they have to pay for you to travel with a competitor. some people are saying that they're struggling to not necessarily the british airways, but they're struggling to get airlines to make good on that obligation. yes, it is absolutely strict under european air passenger rights rules. if your flight is cancelled for any reason, then the airline that cancels it has to get you to your destination on the day you were originally supposed to get there. if there's any seat available on any

airline, you're quite right. lots of people are being told, sorry, we don't do that, or now you've got to wait for a couple of days and then we'll fly you. that's absolutely not the case. and last week the department for transport and the civil aviation authority wrote to the airlines, reminding them of their obligation. if they're not prepared to do it, then you can buy your ticket if there's enough room on your credit card and claim the money back. we're talking about the british airways strike by ground workers and check—in staff here at london heathrow airport, specifically, it is the uk's biggest airport, but there are also ryanair strikes happening across europe. easyjet�*s spanish—based cabin crew are also going on strike this summer. how much disruption can we expect for travel plans beyond just heathrow?

it does feel sometimes like the end of summer as we know it. but actually while there is the prospect of more disruption and of course, we've already seen hundreds of flights cancelled, some of them are very late notice, particularly on easyjet and gatwick. the vast majority of people are travelling as they planned, going on those much anticipated and well—deserved holidays. and my view is that you should be confident at the moment that your trip will go ahead as booked. and if it doesn't, for whatever reason, you do have very strong consumer rights. ok, simon, thank you. simon calder, travel journalist there. now, i have to say, i was getting off a flight earlier this week and landed on time. the steps were brought to the plane, but we were told because of a shortage of ground staff, we would be held on the flight. it was only about ten or 15 minutes, but people were already starting to get restless and i think we could well see more of that over the summer.

go for it. but, wait, let'sjust see howjohn got here. two years ago, we filmed him off the south coast when he set the world record for a leap out of an aircraft over water. he has made daring drops off trees, bridges and cliffs. no wonder they call john bream the flying fish. john is an ex—paratrooper who spent months training with experts to attempt this new record. it's literallyjump, bang, crash, yes, we've done it. come on. and this is it. he only has two seconds for the chute to open. whoo—whoo—whoo—hoo! he's hit the ground at 25 mph. just watch his reaction.

i'm a modern—day evel knievel. ijust need to ride a motorbike. you did it. i did it, i did it. happy birthday, isla. john says the jump is about helping ukraine. he is just back from there, where he delivered aid for the charity vans without borders. he even managed to get a practice jump in and says his record attempt is a way of highlighting the desperate situation for the ukrainian people. this lowjump is for the people of ukraine. they need help. when i was there, it was a very proud moment being british. because what they would say, the locals, they would say the british public were the first to come out and help. it will take a few months to officially confirm the 85 footjump. but in the week of the solstice, this is whatjohn might call a midsummer night's bream. duncan kennedy, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear.

hello there. there are first signs of our weather story changing from the west at the moment. so the best of the sunshine certainly today. out to the east, a beautiful morning so far in lewes, kent. if we take a look at wales, though, the cloud is thick enough for a spot or two of drizzle here in powis and the cloud will continue to thicken. you'll see some rain by the end of the day. here's the satellite picture at the moment, the thicker cloud always out towards the west, the best of the sunshine, albeit hazy across eastern scotland and eastern england. there will be a few scattered showers generally through the day today. some of them could be quite heavy as well, chiefly across northern england. but the cloud thickens, the rain arrives into the south west to wales and northern ireland by the end of the afternoon. here, temperatures perhaps mid—teens as a daytime maximum. but in the sunshine we could still see temperatures into the mid 20s once again. but once this low pressure arrives, it is going to park itself

to the northwest of the uk and really influence the story for a few days to come. so first thing on saturday morning, expect a mild start to double figures, but there's the low quite clearly, and it's going to be throwing in some stronger winds and some showers as we go through the day. some of those showers could be heavy, possibly thundery as well. obviously, not everybody�*s going to see the showers. and if you do manage to dodge them and with a little bit more shelter away from the breeze, we're still likely to see temperatures peaking at 22 celsius. now, if you are heading off to the cricket, well, it does look likely, fingers crossed, that it'll be largely dry. but we still can't rule out the risk potentially of a shower interrupting play into the afternoon. as for glastonbury, i think there is a greater chance of showers. it wouldn't be glastonbury without some rain in the forecast but certainly it's not all going to be doom and gloom. but some of those showers could be heavy, possibly thundery. we'll need to keep an eye on that. the low pressure is still with us for part two of the weekend. and you can see the isobars circulating around that low. so it's going to be windier than of late, but the most heaviest and persistent rain is always likely to be further west. so once again, sheltered

eastern areas starting off dry and sunny. we should cling onto some sunshine through east anglia, down to the isle of wight, south and east of that, and temperatures again into the low 20s. disappointing out to the west. the low stays with us into the week ahead. it stays pretty unsettled, particularly to the north and west.

this is bbc news. i'm luxmy gopal and these are the latest headlines. we've got to recognise that voters are going through a tough time at the moment and i think that as a government, i've got to listen. the lib dems overturn a huge conservative 24—thousand majority in tiverton and honiton and say it's time mrjohnson left number ten. borisjohnson has lost boris johnson has lost the confidence of the british people. borisjohnson has got to go.

we will have
