clever cow. time for a look at the weather, here's stav danaos. good afternoon. winds swept across southern areas, this weather watcher picture endorsing that. we have got windswept plants there and choppy seas and we have had gale force winds and heavy rains all tied in with a deep area of low pressure. that will ease away over the next 24—hour. as we head into the weekend it will turn a bit calmer and quieter and cooler at times as well. there is an area of low pressure moving across the company. it has been bringing gales to northern france as well. this weather front is going to be persistent and it will hang around parts of northern ireland, south wales and south—west england through to night into tomorrow as well. lots of showers across a good portion of england, some sundry ones across the south—east. the best of the weather

in western scotland and parts of north—west england. we could see 14 degrees there. a little bit cooler today compared to yesterday, the warmest day of the year so far. this evening and overnight the rain continues and parts of northern ireland, south wales and south—west england, but the showers and strong winds will ease away from other parts. clear spells in sheltered western scotland, north—west england. cloudy skies for eastern england. cloudy skies for eastern england. this is the pressure chart for saturday, a bit messy. low pressure clears away to the near continent and we have easterly winds feeding in some cloud and drizzly rain. furtherwest feeding in some cloud and drizzly rain. further west we have got that weather fronts so for northern ireland and parts of south—west england. it pulls away from south wales, so an improvement here. but eastern areas where we hold onto that onshore breeze, it will feel quite chilly, single figures there. temperature is not that much better even further west. a cooler day

noticeably across the board to start the weekend. conditions improve further four part two of the weekend. high pressure moves in, but it could start fairly breezy in east anglia and the south—east. we are in for some drier air on sunday, so a better chance of seeing some sunshine through the weekend away from northern scotland and parts of northern ireland which will be cloudy at times. our air source is still coming in from the east, so a cool day, nine to 12. at the start of next week things turn a little bit warmer, high pressure still with us and a chance of rain in western areas on tuesday. that's it, so goodbye from me. now on bbc one, let'sjoin our news teams where you are. good afternoon. it's just after 1:30, and this is your update

from the bbc sport centre. the former england cricket captain michael vaughan has been cleared — on the �*balance of probabilities�* — of using racist language towards former yorkshire players, including azeem rafiq during his time at the county side. the allegations brought by rafiq prompted an inquiry by the england and wales cricket board, which saw charges levelled at vaughan with bringing the game into disrepute. we can get some more on this now — with matt graveling — who's been following the story for us. just to let you know — some of the terms and language used viewers may find upsetting. watch came out of the cricket disciplinary commission's findings? it was only a couple of hours ago disciplinary commission's findings? it was only a couple of hours ago we got an 82 page document following the four day hearing in london looking into these allegations of historic races at yorkshire county cricket club, allegations first brought about by azeem rafiq in 2020 in august when he was part of a podcast where he made these claims,

that sparked the investigation and led to seven former players and the club itself be in charge. michael vaughan was one of these seven men and we have been hearing from him today about how this process has impacted him and his life. after a four day hearing the panel of three people did clear michael vaughan, it is important to say, of the accusations, but for the five other men charged, john blaine, matthew hoggard, richard pyrene, tim bresnan and andrew gale, they had either all of the charges against them all some of the charges against them all some of the charges against them upheld by the cricket disciplinary action. earlier we heard from azeem rafiq, who made these claims back in 2020 which started the whole process which started the whole process which has now been coming on for three years. for which has now been coming on for three yew-— which has now been coming on for three veere— which has now been coming on for three ears. ., ., ., three years. for me, from day one, i have tried — three years. for me, from day one, i have tried very _ three years. for me, from day one, i have tried very much _ three years. for me, from day one, i have tried very much to _ three years. for me, from day one, i have tried very much to make - three years. for me, from day one, i have tried very much to make sure . three years. for me, from day one, i have tried very much to make sure it| have tried very much to make sure it is not _ have tried very much to make sure it is not a _ have tried very much to make sure it is not a battle of individuals. i

said they pitted three former team—mates, one of whom was a current england international, against each other in a public forum for the whole world to see. it is important to say that the public forum is at the request of azeem rafiq. i forum is at the request of azeem rafi. ., , ., forum is at the request of azeem rafiq-_ with - forum is at the request of azeem i rafiq._ with another rafiq. i will leave you with another statement for _ rafiq. i will leave you with another statement for michael _ rafiq. i will leave you with another statement for michael vaughan, i rafiq. i will leave you with another l statement for michael vaughan, this has brought me to the brink of falling out of love with cricket, i will not address the toll on me and my family but it has had a toll. the five men who had their charges upheld or partially upheld will be waiting to see which sanctions are placed upon them by the cricket disciplinary committee.- placed upon them by the cricket disciplinary committee. the bbc has also released a statement today.

news also in this afternoon that wimbledon will allow russian and belarusian players to compete at this year's championships, providing it's under a neutralflag. it lifts a ban imposed on them from playing last year, that was made in response to russia's invasion of ukraine and the support provided by belarus. 0ur tennis correspondent russell fullerjoins me now. 0rganisers said this was an incredibly difficult decision — how controversial could it prove? i think within the sport of tennis it will not be particularly controversial, it means the players would be treated the same way they are at the other grand slams and events on the atp and wta tour. the

decision has been welcomed by the men's atp and the women's wta tours, and the government has said that this is in our guidelines to all sporting organisation so we can understand and support the decision of the all england club. 0ne understand and support the decision of the all england club. one thing that will be interesting to see over the weeks ahead is exactly why british public opinion is on this. when the question was asked last april when the all england club decided to ban the russians and belarusians from last year's championships, 69% of the british public, according to yougov, thought that was right. the situation in ukraine has clearly not improved at all so we will have to see how the british public knew the decision, but i think within tennis everybody expected this answer most people will welcome this. and how will the players react? the players again, if you take them as an international group, will be broadly very supportive. they did not like the idea they could all

potentially be, as they saw edge, discriminated against on the grounds of nationality, but where it will upset people very, very deeply is amongst the ukrainian player contingent. we are now moving towards a situation where the international olympic committee has indicated strongly they want to allow russian and belarusian athletes to compete at the olympics in paris next year and it means wimbledon and the other warm up events on the grass in the uk before the championships will be able to invite russians and belarusian players and some had spoken out quite strongly. marta kostyuk has said we have been fighting to prevent russians and belarusians playing at all anywhere on tour and lesia tsurenko has spoken about having a panic attack against a match she was meant to be playing against the belarusian arena sabalenka o'connor she talks of an ethical conflict any time ukrainian player comes up against a russian or

belarusian. . ~ player comes up against a russian or belarusian. ., ,, , ., , , and that's all the sport for now. clive will have more later, thank you. the prime minister has been in darlington today ahead of local elections there next month. he was promoting his announcements on funding for potholes and new powers to try and ensure utility companies repair the roads after they've carried out works. let's here a bit more of what he had to say. these elections will be a reflection on your leadership. if people aren't happy, then they're going to let you know in may, aren't they? so how do you how will you persuade voters in the north—east red wall who don't feel there's been enough levelling up here to vote tory? well, it's great to be out today meeting all our local council candidates for the local elections here. the conservatives locally are delivering for the north—east, for teesside in particular. but today we're announcing more money for potholes. we all hate them. the government is putting more money in to fix them. tens of millions of pounds across teesside to fix potholes, repair roads and actually some new powers we're announcing today to clamp down on utility companies

who are not repairing the roads after they've done their work. more fines, more inspections. that's also going to help. we want to make sure it's easy for people to get around. that's what our local team are delivering here. potholes isn't going to cut it with people in the north—east who've been not able to pay for their heating. and when they see you upgrading the grid so that you can heat your luxury pool, you know, they feel that you're out of touch. so what do you say to them? well, as chancellor, i took a decision to tax the windfall profits of energy companies and use that money to help everyone with their energy bills. that support is worth about £1,500 for a typicalfamily here in the north—east. it's about half of a typical person's energy bill is being paid for by the government at the moment. are you out of touch? i'm just explaining what we're doing and people can make up their own minds whether that support is sufficient or not. it's enormous support. £1,500 for a typical family, half of their energy bill being paid for by the government as a result of the decisions that i have taken as chancellor to tax the windfall profits of energy companies, use that money to help people with their energy bills. of course, i recognise that inflation is the thing that's

causing the issue at the moment. that's why the first priority i set out at the beginning of the year was to halve inflation. i want people to feel better off. i want to put more money in their pockets. we're only going to do that if we can get inflation down. we've got a plan to do that. the plan is working. stick with us and we'll deliver it. but in the meantime, lots of help with your energy bills. we're still waiting on the inquiry into multiple bullying accusations against your deputy prime minister. why is it taking so long, and do you still have full confidence in his behaviour? yeah, this is an independent inquiry and the clue's in the word there, there's an independent leading barrister who is conducting that inquiry. it wouldn't be right for me to say to that person, "you have to do it in this time or that time." it's right that they are left independently to do theirjob, to make sure that they can go through it and do everything properly. and that's what... that's what they're doing. you said that you'd lead a government of integrity. so if dominic raab is found guilty of bullying, are you going to sack him? as i said, there's an independent inquiry happening. it wouldn't be right to pre—empt that inquiry. and it's right that that

inquiry is left to happen as it is, independently, not with interference. i'm confident that that will happen properly, and when it does, we'll go from there. how concerned are you about the report into the fire service and will you reform it? as i said, there's been reports previously about emergency services, most notably the casey report recently into what's been going on in the police. i said at the time what i read about then, what we all read about was appalling. to see that abuse of power. it's right that the metropolitan police in particular take the steps required to reform the police services to make sure that people have confidence in them. the prime minister in darlington today. the horrifying killing of nine—year—old olivia pratt korbel — who was shot dead at her home in liverpool last august — was a story that shocked the country. the man that killed her — drug dealer thomas cashman — was found guilty yesterday. but the issue of guns and gangs on the streets of merseyside still remains. our reporter phil cooper has been looking into the cities history of gun violence. a warning this report does contain some distressing images. —— the city's history of gun violence. this rally against gun crime

recently united hundreds of people, horrified by increasingly brazen shootings, often in broad daylight. gunshots. communities want an end to shootings like this one when people ran for their lives as a gunman repeatedly fired at a man's back and legs. somehow the victim survived. that shocking incident took place here, half a mile from where olivia pratt—korbel lived, seven weeks before she was shot dead. police say it's not linked to her murder, but the video clearly shows why people in this community were already frightened. and sadly, olivia was not the first child to die during decades of gun violence in the north—west. in 2007, ii—year—old rhstones was shot dead in liverpool. exactly 15 years to the day before olivia died. his football coach was just yards away when rhys was hit by crossfire between rival gangs.

he's not surprised another child has been killed. i weren't surprised that it's happened again. i was shocked, obviously, and saddened. but there's that many guns out on the streets now. it's a free for all. and these people have no respect for anyone or anything. they don't. to me, there isn't enough being done. and you know what? sadly, it's probably going to happen again. shootings fell from 125 in 2007 to 49 last year. but the force's intense efforts have failed to stop fatal shootings. back in 2007, when rhys was killed, four people were shot dead. last year, in just over four months, there were five victims. sam rimmer, ashley dale, olivia, jacqueline rutter and elle edwards. it's still happening because we've

got individuals who have got no regard for the rest of society. they've got no regard for the consequences of their actions. they have got no moral compass. police have been piloting a new strategy they believe provides hope. police! called clear, hold, build, officers remove criminals from an area and stop new gangs moving in while the local authorities work to make the neighbourhood more prosperous. now, we have seen that work really, really successfully in places like speke, in places like croxteth and norris green, in parts of liverpool eight. and we know that that actually is successful. gun crime has scarred merseyside for generations and the police acknowledge they can't arrest their way out of the problem. they say the only long term solution is to work together with councils and communities, businesses and charities to offer young people positive alternatives to crime.

the mother of the woman murdered by oscar pistorius has appeared before a parole board examining whether the south african athlete should be released from prison early. june steenkamp's lawyer said a ruling would be delivered later today. this is the first parole hearing for the former paralympian since being convicted of murdering his girlfriend reeva steenkamp more than a decade ago in south africa. the bbc�*s africa correspondent andrew harding reports. he was a superstar. oscar pistorius, the blade runner. the paralympic athlete in a relationship with the south african model and television personality reeva steenkamp. but in 2014, pistorius was put on trial for murder, accused of deliberately shooting steenkamp on valentine's day as she hid behind a locked door in his bathroom. i got to the bed and then i realised reeva wasn't there. pistorius said he mistook her for a burglar, but he was eventually convicted on appeal of murder

and ultimately sentenced to 13 years in prison. i spoke to reeva's parents immediately after the trial. yeah. i'm satisfied with it. you are? yes. so how about you? i also feeljustice is being served. and we very relieved that it's all over. - now pistorius is eligible for parole, having served more than half his sentence. on a time basis, he does qualify, but you would have to have a look at all the internal records, how his conducted himself, how he's behaved himself, and then most importantly as well, you have to look at what the victim's family, what their attitude is, plays a very important role. last year, pistorius met reeva's father, barry, as part of what's known as a victim—offender dialogue. but reeva's friends and family continue to believe pistorius meant to kill her. i personally think he just lost

the plot completely for a brief moment and went berserk and shot her. i don't personally believe the story of him thinking there was an intruder. pistorius is now 36 years old. he's always stuck by his argument that this was a terrible accident. if he is granted parole on his first attempt, he's still unlikely to be released immediately. andrew harding, bbc news, south africa. the lawyer for reeva steenkamp's family has arrived at court where she spoke to reporters and explained why the family is against pistorius' release. first of all, it's a very traumatic experience, as you can imagine. it's painful. june has to face oscar pistorius again this morning. he is the killer of her daughter. for them, it is a life sentence. he is eligible to be considered for placement on parole. they don't feel that he should be released. they feel that he has shown no

remorse, he is not rehabilitated, because if he had been, he would have come clean and tell the true story of what happened that night. the supreme court of appeal found that he hasn't diverged everything that happened that night, and that is the position that they also hold. the lawyer for the family of reeva steenkamp. reeva steenkamp's mother spoke to reporters as she arrived for the hearing, here's what she said. reporter: mrs steenkamp, good morning to you. very difficult day for you this morning. how is it for you as a family? i'm finding it very hard to be in the same room as him. and of course you are opposing any parole, so you as a family believe... we don't believe his story. and how is barry doing? we know he is not here today. he can't walk any more, you know, and he's got turning 80 now so, you know, he's very stressed about this. (inaudible).

mrs steenkamp, do you believe that oscar is remorseful? no. never. june steenkamp. 15 minute cities — where everything you need is within a 15 minute walk or bike ride — are an idea being explored around the world. but the concept has ignited fierce debate and conspiracy theories. anna holligan has been looking at why. 15—minute cities — they've become a magnet for protests around the world, from canada to the uk, with conspiracy groups claiming, without evidence, they're designed to imprison us in our neighbourhoods and limit ourfreedoms. yet the idea seems pretty pragmatic — to have everything we need from doctors and supermarkets to work and schools within easy reach, by foot or bicycle. the misinterpretation has roots in the uk, where two separate plans to cut carbon emissions, one involving low

traffic neighbourhoods and another based on the 15—minute city were blended together. in oxford, those have been mixed up and things have been added and it has become a way larger thing which i think has also made it more difficult to actually look at what's really going on. we sat down to get some insight from the architect of the 15—minute city. this is just a concept for improving the quality of life of a city and to develop more local economies, shorter circuits, more ecological activities, more shopping, and to work without a daily long commute. lots of people are now wondering what it might be like to live and work in a 15—minute city. but here in the netherlands, pretty much the entire country is covered with them, so i thought it might be usefuljust

to take you out for a spin on my bicycle to see what that looks like in reality. within 15 minutes, i can reach my daughter's school, the supermarket, doctors and all the other essentials for daily life. and despite the people objecting to the 15—minute idea, saying, in order to get this, we will be locked down in our neighbourhoods, there's no evidence of any boundaries or restrictions here. which might explain why so many dutch people are so bemused by these claims. when i heard about the conspiracies, i thought it was kind of ironic, because i feel like if you don't live in a 15—minute city, you are locked up somewhere. so much time gets lost in commute, and if you do live in a 15—minute city you can go anywhere you want, you feel so much more freedom. the disinformation could make it trickier for cities to pave the way to bring people and life's necessities closer together. anna holligan, bbc

news, in the hague. knowledge, skill and a whole lot of patience. that's what's needed to capture an award—winning wildlife snap, and for 16—year—old, billy evans—freke that patience paid off. he's been named young british wildlife photographer of the year by the rspb for a picture that he waited more than an hour to snap — and his accolades don't stop there. charlie rose has more. billy is just 16 years old. but acts like a seasoned pro. this award—winning snapshot of a young tawny owl took more than an hour of waiting and hoping. i was going after the adult originally, because i had never seen an adult tawny owl. and then i heard the call of tawny owl chicks behind me, like a high—pitched squeak. so i started looking around behind me. after about ten or 15 minutes, i spotted the tawny owl.

his journey as a photographer began as a young boy when he met local wildlife snapper phil winter, who taught billy his tricks. and what do you make of the shot of the tawny owl? it's fabulous. i took it the following day when billy told me about it. at the top of the tree. mine was rubbish. he has won wildlife photographer of the year for his age group, which is phenomenal. i am so thrilled for him. there is so much to learn. where'd you find them, what time of day do they feed, how do you get close without scaring them? that is the art of it and he isjust a natural. a natural photographer in his natural environment. this is where you do a lot of your photography? yes, often. a lot of owls and roe deer in there, as well, sometimes.

this image of a little egret at cuckmere haven won billy his second award. we were out in the morning afterfinding out i had won the rspb one and then, as we got home, i got mum shouting, "you've won again!" and billy still can't quite believe it. just like the moment his subjects pause and pose, rewarding him for his patience. charlie rose, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. it's been a stormy start to the day across southern britain, certainly across the channel islands, a deep area of low pressure has been bringing wet and windy weather here. and as we head into the weekend, this area of low pressure will slowly pull away. things will start to turn a little bit dry, a little bit brighter. but with our air source coming in from the north, it'll turn a little bit cooler too. here it is then named by the french met service as storm mathis. it's been blowing across the south

of the uk, bringing gales through the channels. very windy for the channel islands, south coast of england. some heavy rain which will continue through wales, south—west england into northern ireland. heavy showers in towards the south—east of england. further north it will be rather gray. -- it —— it will be rather grey. our winds coming in off the north sea. so feeling quite cool here. the best of the sunshine through the afternoon will be across western scotland. as we head through this evening and overnight, little change but we start to see the strong winds easing down from the south. we'll have further cloud and rain pushing into the east coast and this weather front will continue to bring rain to northern ireland, parts of wales, the south—west of england, rainfall totals really mounting up here. and then as we move into the weekend, we still have this area of low pressure pulling away from the uk, but this weather front will be hanging around almost in situ across western, south—western areas. so, further cloud outbreaks of rain for northern ireland perhaps into wales, south west england this easterly breeze will be pushing cloud and some light rain into eastern parts of scotland and england as well. so rather grey, rather cool

here as well with this onshore easterly breeze. but temperatures will be down across the board on saturday, even further inland, no higher than around ten degrees. it could be up to 12 across the far south—west where the winds will be a little bit lighter. then as we move out of saturday to sunday, this area of high pressure starts to build in across the country, fewer isobars so the winds will be lighter, starts off breezy in the south—east, those winds will ease down and we'll start to import some slightly drier air across the country. so more sunshine, we think, on sunday, a bit of cloud for northern scotland, perhaps into northern ireland, but it won't really help the temperatures that much with the air still quite cool, highs of 9—12 degrees it is certainly cooler than what we've had over the last few days. now it's all change as we head into the start of next week. we pick up southerly winds again and a weather front starting to encroach in from the west will start to bring cloud to western areas. but we should still see some

sunshine in the east. this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories. donald trump becomes the first former us president to face criminal charges after investigation into a payment made to a pawn star. trump denies any wrongdoing. a cricket disciplinary hearing decides it cannot prove michael vaughan used racist language against asian players in 2009. president zelensky attends the ceremony is being held in
