members await them. cheering and applause. to everyone involved, that was absolutely magnificent. cheering. how was that? absolutely fantastic. you know, itjust feels like i'm a real star. a standing ovation and a night they'll never forget. an extraordinary well done. navteonhal, bbc news. and if you'd like to hear the concert in full, it'll be on bbc radio 3 tomorrow at 7.30pm. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. hello, jane. we have more rain around today, it may not amount to very much but in cambridge we have

had more rain this month than fell during the whole of the winter. it is quite cold rain today falling across many parts of the country, that colder air will be replaced by tomorrow with much milder airfrom the atlantic. looking at the satellite picture there is a lot of cloud in the atlantic so with the milder air, yet more rain. this closure is bringing today's rain, the rain continuing to push slowly north and east over the next few hours. across northern ireland it should be clearing up with sunshine and sharp showers, signs of milder air but still chilly across eastern scotland and eastern england. that wet weather from today should push into the north sea this evening and for a while it will turn dry overnight. lots of cloud, rain arriving on the far south—west later and also western scotland but a mild night tonight. the lowest temperatures will be across

aberdeenshire, three or 4 degrees. tomorrow sees lots of cloud, limited sunshine and some rain from time to time. perhaps not as extensive as today but the second rain band turns heavier in scotland and it gets wet later in the day across wales and the south—west of england. while it is a breezy day it is milder, temperature is widely getting up to 15 or even 16 degrees. these weather fronts are bringing more rain from the atlantic, they will move away before the low pressure brings more rain overnight into friday. we have a shower a picture on thursday, sunshine and showers developing more widely, particularly focused on england and wales, there could be hail and thunder, a few showers for scotland and northern ireland. this could be the warmest day of the week ahead, temperature 16 or 17 in eastern england. we have the next area of low pressure bringing windy weather, it looks like the windiest will be across northern france with

impacts more likely that that the rain will impact across the uk. more rain, particularly wet on friday, across southern england and wales, some wet weather for northern ireland, some showers further north but also some sunshine. temperatures typically 11 to 13 on friday. into the weekend, there's temperatures will continue to drop a little further but at the same time most of the wet weather should be moving away. thank you, darren. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news.

england manager sarina wiegman is expecting beth mead to miss this summer's world cup because of a long term knee injury. the forward was the player of the tourament as they won euro 2022, winning the golden boot in the process, but she ruptured her acl playing for her club arsenal in november, and wiegman, in announcing her squad for their friendlies next month, says it's very likely mead won't be back in time for the tournament in australia and new zealand. i have a conversation with her and she is doing well and in rehab and she is doing well and in rehab and she is doing good, but the worktop is too early, so what we said now is that she is not in our plans now, butjust that she is not in our plans now, but just take the that she is not in our plans now, butjust take the time to get back well. but if a miracle happens and she goes so fast, and we will reconsider it. but at this moment, i don't expect that. wiegman�*s 25—strong squad for the friendles against brazil and australia features aston villa keeper hannah hampton who has been called up for the first time since last summer, as well as team—matejordan nobbs. it'll be their final camp before world cup preparations begin in earnest later this year. meanwhile, england captain leah williamson has come top of this year's bbc woman's hour power list

2023, which recognises 30 women in the uk who have made a "significant impact in the sporting world." williamson led the lionesses to the trophy at euro 22 as they became the first england team to win a major international women's tournament. she also champions equal opportunities for girls in sport and says she's honoured to receive this recognition. as women, we have been living in the shadows maybe, where we know we have the ability to step up, so i think when we do recognise women like this, when there is recognition, i think it's great because it shows that next person that you cannot see it you can be at. it's something i love and saw that whole concept of shining a light on those that are doing it so that those below or aspiring to be in those positions can believe that there is a place

for them in that world, so to speak. the captain of england's men's team, harry kane, meanwhile, has a few targets of his own. after becoming his nation's all—time leading scorer last week, he's said he is not ruling out reaching 100 international goals. the tottenham striker went past wayne rooney's previous mark of 53 in italy last week, then made it 55 against ukraine. but at the age of 29, he says he wants to play for england for as long as possible. kane says the next step will be getting to 60, and claims 100 is not out of the question. at his current rate, it'll take him another 67 games. the scottish football association is expected to launch an investgation after the rangers assistant manager craig mcpherson appeared to headbutt celtic boss fran alonso following the team's 1—1 draw in the scottish women's premier league last night. hosts rangers led the game until a mistake at the back saw caitlin hayes equalise for celtic in the 99th minute. after the celebrations came the final while, handshakes and this... ..involving mcpherson

and alonso in an extraordinary end to the evening. the sfa is waiting for the referee's report before making a final decision on whether to investigate. anthonyjoshua claims a fight with tyson fury "is what boxing needs." the former two time world champion�*s camp say finally getting into the ring with the current wbc heavyweight belt holder is a priority for this year. fury has recently seen talks for a unification contest with 0leksander usyk fall through. joshua's next fight is againt the americanjermaine franklin in london on saturday, as he starts his comeback after losing twice to usyk. the british heavyweight hasn't won since 2020, but a meeting with fury could be on the cards if he beats franklin. he's been speaking to boxing commentator steve bunce about his return to the ring. if you want to be someone, a person is very good, you have to have everything in order, everything.

president has defended his plans to allow athletes from russia and belarus to compete as neutrals, claiming it "works" to have them taking part. the ioc wants russians and belorussians to return to competition after banning them following the invasion of ukraine last year, with qualifying events for paris 2024 getting underway. bach's position is unpopular among some countries and sporting bodies, but he says ahtletes should not be punished for their passports. and finally we know expectant parents have many different ways of revealing the gender of their baby... ..but how about this from usa goalkeeper matt turner? he had just helped his team secure a place in the concacaf nations league semi—finals thanks to a 1—0 win over el salvador... and kicked a ball that exploded to reveal he and his partner are having a girl. the arsenal keeper celebrated their news with the team, his wife and their son who will turn one injuly.

and that's all the sport for now. you're watching bbc news. let's start with some breaking news that labour's national executive committee has voted to block jeremy corbyn standing for the party at the general election. a motion not to endorse the ex—leader passed 22 votes to 12. there is no appeal within labour's process. that means jeremy that meansjeremy corbyn cannot stand as a labour candidate. we will wait to see what his reaction is and whether he might stand as an independent but that has just been

confirmed and come through from labour the jeremy corbyn, confirmed and come through from labour thejeremy corbyn, a london mp and a former leader of the party cannot stand on the labour ticket anyway at the next general election. that has just come through and we will have a reaction to that in the coming hours. a billionaire's son, who fled to yemen hours after the death of a student in central london 15 years ago, has admitted his involvement to the bbc. after disappearing following a night out with friends, the body of 23—year—old martine vik magnussen was discovered under rubble in a basement. farouk abdulhak was identified as the prime suspect and is still the subject of an international arrest warrant. for a new documentary about the case, he spoke for the first time to the bbc�*s — nawal—al—macaffee. it was meant to be a student night out. we were just listening to music,

borrowing each other�*s clothes, just, i don't know, having fun before the night out. celebrating the end of exams in one of mayfair�*s exclusive clubs. maddox was the place to go on a thursday. so it was obvious that we were going there. a celebration turned tragedy when their friend, 23—year—old norwegian student martine vik magnussen, was killed. her body was found underneath the rubble in a london apartment block basement. her family were flown to london to identify the body. i knew that this was the last time i was going to see her, so i stayed on for five minutes. saying goodbye. the prime suspect was her college friend farouk abdulhak, the son of a yemeni billionaire. within hours of her death, he had fled the scene. his lawyers insisted he was innocent of murder. he fled to yemen, a country with no

extradition treaty with the uk. it has been 15 years since martine's killing and no one has heard from him since. for a new documentary with bbc arabic and current affairs, i made renewed efforts to find farouk abdulhak. after months of searching for him, i secured his personal number and finally made a breakthrough. he's on it. look. ifound his profile on an instant messaging app. he's typing, he's typing. my main goal was to find answers for martine's family. because of the unusual circumstances around this case, and that abdulhak has never spoken before, i was granted special permission to secretly record our conversations, so long as he knew who i was, as finding the truth about the case is in the public interest. 0ur conversations continued for months and then, finally, a confession.

in an extraordinary series of messages, he claims martine's death was a sex accident gone wrong and that he had taken a lot of cocaine. when i asked him about moving her body, he said he didn't remember. good to see you. i went to 0slo to share my findings and secret voice recordings with martine's father. i don't know what answers they want to hear. nothing is going to bring their daughter back. 0dd petter wanted his main question answered — does farouk ever intend to return to uk soil and face justice? but what about coming back? it is too cold there, i don't like the weather. i'm mad, i'm angry. i mean, i was furious. so i can only imagine how you feel. i'm furious. that's the word, yes. i'm going to get him, one way or the other.

0dd petter has been campaigning forjustice for martine since her death in 2008. i will continue for the rest of my life. and i'm going to succeed. a father's unwavering pursuit forjustice for his child. nawal al maghafi, bbc news. earlier, nawal al maghafi and martine's father, 0dd petter vik magnussen, spoke to my colleague, annita mcveigh. because of my yemeni heritage, i knew who farouk abdulhak was, i knew who the family there, so i thought i could help create a bridge between them. i went to yemen and try to find farouk abdulhak at the time but i was threatened by the president and we thought it was best to drop the story. but now it was time to revisit, his father, powerful and rich businessman in yemen has passed away and the president who has protected him for so long has also died.

we tried to pursue the story again and this time we were successful. the reason he spoke to me is because of the commonalities we have between us, the fact that we are both yemeni, i understood why he was hiding, i knew the life he had —— where he was hiding... here in london. i could understand where he came from. so that's how i got him to speak to me. it was that connection of talking to some warm who comes —— someone. . . from the same place as you? 0dd petter, we saw some of it there in the film we just saw, but what was it like hearing from farouk abdulhak for the first time in all those years? through the years i have been working on this and i have had to take a lot of punches, setbacks in the case. i knew from the introduction what was coming.

i tried to put some ice in my stomach, as it were, try to keep calm. it was challenging to hear him. it was challenging to see that he showed no remorse and in fact, he showed no empathy. he was thinking about himself, primarily, leaving no thoughts for us or forjustice over what have you. that really motivates me to continue the fine work that you have contributed towards and in all modesty, myself over the years. we now have a tremendously better platform for seeking justice in this case. and i will come back to that in a moment, tell us a bit more about what you heard. we saw in the film the reference to farouk abdulhak saying he did something when he was younger and tell us a little bit about how you got permission to make that secret recording?

you know, here at the bbc we don't take secret filming lightly. usually we do secret filming to kind of film the perpetrators in the act itself and that's not what we were doing here. but it was such an unusual case because farouk abdulhak has evaded justice for 15 years. he has never spoken to the police, we have never heard his side of the story and we were in a unique position. as long as i told him i was a bbcjournalist and he agreed to keep talking, we were allowed to secretly film those recordings and you know, what we got was over a couple of months building up to it, really, is a confession in which he spoke about that night. he said he made a mistake 15 years ago and that it was a sex accident gone wrong and it involved cocaine. he said he regrets fleeing. when i

pushed him on the fact that he said it was an accident and i asked why he doesn't come back to speak to the authorities he said that it was too late. so, 0dd petter, what aboutjustice for martin, do you think farouk abdulhak will ever come back, do think he will come to try and explain himself and face justice? i hope so. and again, this is a much better situation just now. because now we have a responsible person for the passing of martine. before we only had a suspect, nobody was guilty before proven guilty. legally speaking. his lawyers at the time insisted he was innocent. exactly. now, we have this confession, we have a completely different story.

that will probably turn around the environment in yemen against him and also, hopefully his family. we will try to persuade him to come down on the right side of history. whether he will agree to going back, i don't know. he is obviously a very self—centred person, selfish. so we don't know. again, we have a better situation, better platform for achieving justice than anytime before. i hope so. that is martin's father talking to the bbc earlier today with our own journalist —— martin... and there is a lengthy and very interesting article that she has written that you can find on the bbc website about that as well. there is more online.

the government's announced its multi—million—pound package to move more than 8,000 afghan refugees from hotels into permanent homes in the uk. many of those worked alongside uk forces before the taliban seized control almost two years ago. the veterans ministerjohnny mercer made the announcement in the commons a short while ago. the uk has and always will provide a safe refuge to those who arrive through safe and legal roots. there are veterans, across this country, enjoying normal lives today because of the service and sacrifice of this cohort in keeping them safe in afghanistan. it is a national duty that we have in communities up and down this country. that is why the government is taking significant steps to honour and protect this group by providing increased support and funding, to facilitate their transition into long—term, settled accommodation. trained staff, including home office liaison officers, dwp work cultures, —— work coaches... council staff and charities will be based in hotels regularly to provide advice to afghans, including information on how to rent

in the private sector, help to find jobs and english language training. in addition, we will publish guidance forfamilies on what support is available and how to access it. we are announcing £35 million of new funding to enable local authorities to provide increased support for afghan households to move from hotels into settled accommodation across england. the local authority housing fund will also be expanded by £250 million, with the majority of the additional funding being used to house afghans currently in bridging accommodation and the rest used to ease existing homelessness pressures. these measures represent a generous offer, and in return for this we do expect families to help themselves. whilst this government realises our significant responsibilities to this cohort, there is a responsibility upon this group to take the opportunities that are offered under these schemes and integrate into uk society. where an offer of accommodation can be made and is turned down, another will now not be forthcoming.

before her death, dame deborahjames made it her legacy to raise awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer — with "check your poo" becoming one of her most well known phrases. but, despite her campaign, a new survey by bowel cancer uk has found that many people are still unaware of the key signs of the disease. 0ur correspondent, robin brant has more. the most important message i can give to anybody is get yourself checked out. speed is of the essence, so if there's anything you think that might be wrong with you go and get seen, despite any apprehension you might have. just six weeks ago, paul had surgery for his bowel cancer. at a1, paul was fit and he thought healthy. him and his wife had seen adverts. he knew what to look out for. i actually saw that on the back of a toilet in m85. they're doing a lot of things about back of toilets and toilet roll packages. then a year ago he noticed the main

symptom of bowel cancer — blood in his poo. but he waited. the reason i waited is because you hope it's nothing. i was a bit nervous. i was scared. i'd not really had a lot of medical procedures. so you think of all the things that might happen. so, you know, from examinations to the fear of actually finding out you've got something wrong with you. it took four months of thinking and worrying with a very supportive wife before he went to the doctors. despite the extraordinary openness of the late dame deborahjames, who documented her terminal bowel cancer, awareness of what to look out for is still low. nine months on from deborahjames's death, the charity bowel cancer uk says a new survey suggests 38%, nearly four in ten people, can't name a single symptom of bowel cancer. around half, 49%, identified the key red flag symptom of blood in your poo. you hear stories of people that, - when they are diagnosed, you know,

some friends may slip away or find it really difficult _ to have that conversation. and i think that's a problem for us as a nation, is that historically - we've been quite squeamish - about talking about, like you say, the "big c" or bowel cancer in particular. | but i think it's just about having. normalising those conversations. some campaigners fear an increase in cases because of problems diagnosing during the pandemic. so now, more than ever, it's crucial to know what to look for and to talk. and every time anyone asks me and i've had the question a few times, how did you notice? and the answer to that question is blood in my poo. and even when i'm talking to doctors, i think about the language i'm using and it's almost awkward and they talk hear about this and talk about it every day. robin brant, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. hello. what a difference a day makes. we have more clout around,

rain as well and it still chilly for many parts of the country but the cold air is going to get pushed away and we will seek much higher temperatures by the time we get to wednesday as we draw into milder air from the atlantic. in the atlantic at the moment there is cloud so with that mild airwe at the moment there is cloud so with that mild air we will see further rain on this cloud is continuing to bring rain at the moment, especially across northern and eastern areas by the end of the afternoon. and it will be chilly there but out towards the west, temperatures picking up and especially in northern ireland where we could see light sunshine and sharp showers. rain does move away this evening and it will turn drierfor awhile away this evening and it will turn drier for awhile overnight but are a fair bit of cloud round and rain returning to western scotland and the far south—west of and then by the far south—west of and then by the end of the night, but a mild night, milderthan the end of the night, but a mild night, milder than last night certainly across eastern parts of scotland and an artist of the net with temperatures above freezing. and tomorrow we will see cloudy skies but not much sunshine and the rain will push eastwards across

england and it will turn heavier in western scotland and in wales and the south—west later in the day be much milder with temperatures at 1a or 15 or even 16 degrees. a milder day but still some wet weather around on wednesday and is one of moving away and that will arrive in time for friday but on thursday we have a run of west and south westerly winds and that would bring a mixture of sunshine and showers. most showers in england and wales which are more widespread with heavy rain and thunder but showers are for northern ireland and wales. a breezy across england and wales but we are drawing in that milder air and that's where we will see the highest temperatures of 16 or 17 across eastern parts of england. as we head overnight we will find that area of low pressure tracking in and it looks like the strongest winds will be in the channel and into northern france and that's where they will have the biggest impact but there is more rain to come and given how wet it has been this month, that could have an impact with the wetter weather across southern parts of and in wales although turning later in

northern ireland and a few showers in scotland as well, but may be sunshine as well. temperatures will be lower on friday 12 or 13. as we head into the weekend, those temperatures will continue to drop away day and night, but most of that wet weather should be moving away as well.

this is bbc news. a very warm welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories... a deadly fire kills at least 39 people in a mexican migrant centre close to the border of the united states. six people — three of them young children — have been killed in a school shooting in nashville, tennessee. police say the killer carefully planned the attack. another day of nationwide strikes and protests in france — with hundreds of thousands of people out to oppose president macron�*s pension reforms. britain's intelligence agency m15 increases the terror threat level in northern ireland from "substantial" to "severe", meaning an attack is considered highly likely.
