sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's ollie foster. hello from the bbc sport centre. the second round is well under way at the first golf major of the year, the american brooks koepka has moved three shots clear at the top of the masters leaderbaord. he was one of the early starters at augusta and birdied the par five second move to eight under. he had beenjoint leader withjon rahm and victor hovland who don't start their second round for another few hours. koepka then eagled the eighth to move to ten under. he is one of 17 rebel liv series golfers who are taking part at augusta. jason day has made a strong start, but has just slipped back to six under, fourth on the leaderboard. scotland's women failed to qualify for this year's world cup,

but they have claimed a morale—boosting victory over the co—hosts australia. they won 1—0, nicola docherty with a long range effort straight after the break that went in off the post. the match was being played at afc wimbledon�*s ground in south london. australia next face england on tuesday night, also in london. there are a lot of women's internationals on friday. finland have already beaten slovakia. new zealand, the other world cup hosts, are playing iceland. it's i—i there. netherlands take on germany later, two of the european sides who will be looking to go a long way at the world cup injuly and august. christian eriksen will be back in the manchester united squad for saturday's premier league game against everton at old trafford. the dane was expected to miss the rest of the season but has recovered from an ankle injury

ahead of schedule. the manchester united manger still isn't happy about the foul by reading's andy carroll that caused the injury in january in an fa cup tie. i was so angry about that tackle. we feared that we lost him for the whole season but he worked very well, the medical department did really well and he is already returning to the squad and available for the final stages of the season so we're very with that. it's been a rocky few weeks for tottenham. they've sacked head coach manager antonio conte and managing director fabio paratici has taken a leave of absence, but they've appointed a new chief football officer in the last few hours.

scott munn, a former city football group executive, willjoin the club's board, taking "responsibility for the leadership and management of football activities. . .to instil best practice both on and off the pitch". the appointment comes just over a week after paratici was forced to step back from his role after a fifa ban took effect, relating to his previous employment in italy atjuventus. we're now into the clay court season on the tennis circuit. everything is building towrds the french open at the end of next month. british number two dan evans through to semifinal of the grand prix hassan in marrakech. he beat italy's andrea vavassori in straight sets. evans had been on a really bad run before this tournament — he hadn't won a match since the australian open in january. ireland have lost their one—off test against bangladesh

by seven wickets in dhaka. the tourists resumed their second innings on 286—8 but could only add six runs on the morning of day 4. that left bangladesh needing 138 for victory, which they reached with ease. ireland now head to sri lanka for a two—test series. and that's all the sport for now. there's a lot more on the website, keep across the masters golf and the football. let's return to the middle east, where israel has mobilized a number of reserve soldiers as tensions rise in the region. in the latest escalation of tensions between israel and the palestinians, two israeli women have been killed in an attack in the occupied west bank. overnight, israel targeted lebanon and gaza, after the biggest wave of rocket attacks in 17 years. the situation has deteriorated markedly this week, since israeli police clashed with palestinians in the al—aqsa mosque. yolande knell has been giving us

the latest from jerusalem. what we know about this attack, it happened in the north of the west bank, in the north of thejordan valley. there were three women travelling in a car, some video footage from the scene shows how it was driven off the road. it is a suspected palestinian gunman who has killed two israeli sisters in their 20s, and their mother remains seriously injured in hospital, being treated. the three women came from an israeli settlement in the south of the west bank. a few details at the moment about who may have been responsible for the attack, not at all really feeds —— but it all feeds into the idea that this is a very volatile time. of course it is a time whenjewish israelis are celebrating the holiday of passover, and at the same time you have the islamic holy month of ramadan, when palestinian muslims have been coming here tojerusalem to the old city, to the al—aqsa mosque in the course of the day, and christians have been coming

from around the world, palestinian christians joining them, to take part in good friday and easter celebrations. so this is a period when all of these holidays are overlapping, but really it for months, officials and diplomats have been warning that this would be a very difficult and tense time, and this has proven to be the case. tell me a bit more about the mobilisation we have heard about. some interesting messages from the israeli military at the moment. on the one hand, we are seeing these big troop reinforcements in the south of the country, close to the gaza strip. and also in the north of the country, close to the disputed border with lebanon after that barrage of more than 30 rockets was fired from southern lebanon, israel says buy at palestinian militant groups, by hamas, into the

north of the country. at the same time, the israeli military is telling those who live close to the gaza strip that they are free to leave the vicinity of the air raid shelters, and it has said that quite will be met with quiet, at least in the coming days. yolande, many fear a continued spiral downwards. just remind people why this has flared now. first of all, it is this occasion of the overlapping holidays, particularly ramadan and passover. this is something that is happened for the second time in three decades. it has really put pressure on the holy sites, particularly here injerusalem, palestinians have been going on in their thousands to the al—aqsa mosque. it is the third holiest place in islam. it's the site of a millennium—old mosque. at the same time, it is the holiest

place injudaism, it is the place wherejews believe there were two temples that stood there through biblical times. you get muslim and jewish visitors wanting to come tojerusalem in larger numbers. israeli police escort round large numbers ofjewish visitors at appointed times. before they do that, they take action, as we have seen in the past, to clear the mosque compound, which has turned very violent in the past couple of days. this week, we saw two notes in which israeli police raided the mosque. they say they were massed agitators and that palestinians were throwing fireworks.

scenes emerged on social media causing outrage that showed israeli officers beating palestinians with sticks and using the butt of rifles as well. all this has caused immense shock, despite the fact that for months now, they have been washington—backed talks withjordan and egypt involved, trying to quiten the situation after months of high tensions to try to ensure that scenes like this didn't happen. our correspondent carine torbey spoke to us from beirut about why these rocket attacks are so different to other recent flare—ups. what happened yesterday is the intensity. we are talking here about dozens of rockets that were launched from lebanon to towards israel and it is really the palestinian factions, as israel says, as lebanon hasn't, you know, denied or confirmed, as basically, it's a change in intensity. but the way everything unfolded

later on, especially in lebanon, because in lebanon was the retaliation from israel that happened this morning, but it was extremely limited and it was within what was expected. everyone seems to agree that there was no intention of escalation from either side at this point of the conflict and that basically this is one more leg of the confrontation that is happening across the border every now and then. the interview about sir david attenborough�*s latest series is here in a moment, astonishing pictures and great stories from one of the series�* producers. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. ready, go? back clowning around — coco, the labrador cross. the two—year—old arrived at the animal shelter with canine friend georgie after their owner, believed to be a heavy drinker, died.

the dogs�* health quickly deteriorated. staff soon realised the pets had become addicted to booze. it could be thatjust after, say, the owner's had a drink and they've just gone to sleep, the dogs may have drank it, but we just don't know. we do know that they were very, very well loved. coco made a full recovery, but georgie — struggling with fits — didn't make it. the two—year—old is now available to adopt. he does need someone who's home quite a lot. he does suffer a little bit with his anxiety when he's left. we believe he's never really been left. coming off alcohol almost killed coco, but now he's clear, healthy and looking for a loving home. you're live with bbc news. now, he's long been one of the bbc�*s crown jewels. sir david attenborough�*s wildlife programmes have delighted peope around the world. —— people. the last edition of his current

series — wild isles — will air this sunday. it's filmed here in the uk. and as you'd expected, it's been breathtaking. welcome to a place that is astonishing. nature in these islands, if you know where to look, can be extraordinary... ..dramatic and beautiful. it rivals anything i've seen elsewhere. it's not far. it's home. welcome to wild isles.

lily moffatt is the assistant producer at wild isles and shejoins me now from central california. thank you for being here on the programme. congratulations on the series, it's fantastic. overthe years, we've gotten used to sir david scouring the world but this one is right here on the doorstep. it certainly is and it's a powerful reminder to encourage people that you don't have to fly across the world to go and find incredible spectacles. we as a nation, britain and ireland have some of the most diverse specimens on the planet, huge ranges of wildlife so whether you are in the city or the countryside, hopefully this series will encourage everybody to go to your local woodland, your local rivers, the coastline, just to explore some of the wildlife we have

dartmoor. —— when slugs come out to mate. the slugs follow each other�*s chemical trail up trees and branches and when they like the smell, it's like wearing perfume or aftershave, they will find a mate and slowly corkscrew together and as they do this, they have he needs —— they have reproductive organs which corkscrew. they come down from the tree, lay hundreds of eggs and that will be a new generation of slugs. it's pretty mesmerising, unbelievable to watch. i it's pretty mesmerising, unbelievable to watch. ., ., , unbelievable to watch. i want to put another sequence _ unbelievable to watch. i want to put another sequence of _ unbelievable to watch. i want to put another sequence of pictures - unbelievable to watch. i want to put another sequence of pictures of - unbelievable to watch. i want to put another sequence of pictures of the | another sequence of pictures of the toads and leeches. when you are

tactics. we followed a male and a female, crossing the road. the female, crossing the road. the female will carry the mail on her back because the mail wants to be the first one to fertili5e the egg and they will travel all the way back to where they were born, metamorphic 5ize back to where they were born, metamorphic size from spawn into a tadpole. metamorphic size from spawn into a tad ole. �* . , metamorphic size from spawn into a tadole. �* . , ., tadpole. and the leeches that were t in: to tadpole. and the leeches that were trying to eat _ tadpole. and the leeches that were trying to eat the — tadpole. and the leeches that were trying to eat the baby _ tadpole. and the leeches that were trying to eat the baby toads - tadpole. and the leeches that were trying to eat the baby toads was i tadpole. and the leeches that were trying to eat the baby toads was an j trying to eat the baby toads was an incredible sequence. in terms of what you filmed for bats, that was difficult to film, you discover something you hadn't anticipated. we something you hadn't anticipated. - filmed the bats in a woodland glade in north yorkshire and these bats typically travel up to 1a government 40 typically travel up to 1a government a0 mile5 typically travel up to 1a government a0 milesjust typically travel up to 1a government a0 mile5 just to get to a specific area —— travel up to a0 mile5 a0 mile5 just to get to a specific area —— travel up to a0 miles to get to a specific area to compete to

because of this tweet put out by the labour party yesterday. we are in election campaign mode here in the uk at the moment. local elections due to take place in a month's time. the labour party particularly keen to talk about crime. although it is not something that local councils are specifically responsible for, they believe it is potentially a vote winner. so it's this tweet here accusing the prime minister, rishi sunak, of not thinking adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should go to prison that really has left a sour taste in the mouths of an awful lot of people, people watching politics of all persuasions. the figures accompanying it here, under the conservatives — so say the labour party — a,500 adults convicted of sexually assaulting children under 16 served no prison time. that goes back to 2010, when the conservatives first came to power. rishi sunak, the man in the picture here, only became an mp in 2015,

so it is perhaps a bit of a stretch to blame him for that. the conservatives are also pointing out that keir starmer, in a former life, was director of public prosecutions, and he actually sat on the sentencing council in 2012 when the sentencing for these kinds of offences was decided, although the labour party are saying it's the government that sets the tone for that kind of thing. but some criticism from within the labour party. i'll show you another tweet here from the former shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell, quite an influential figure in the labour party. he says, "this is not the sort of politics a labour party confident of its own values and preparing to govern should be engaged in. i say to the people who have taken the decision to publish this ad, please withdraw it." well, there's no sign the labour party are planning to withdraw that particular advert. it is still very much up on twitter as we speak. this morning on the bbc, we spoke to the shadow culture secretary, a seniorfigure within the labour party, lucy powell, and she was repeatedly asked whether she stood by the central claim in that tweet.

well, the record of his government says that people are getting off lightly for these sorts of offences, and he is the prime minister of that government. and, you know, people produce digital campaigns and digital material and campaign literature to highlight these sorts of issues in these ways, and there are really serious issues here at stake. so that's lucy powell, the shadow culture secretary there. she was repeatedly asked whether she actually stood by it, she just wouldn't say specifically on it, but there defending what she said the advert was trying to say about the conservatives' record in terms of tackling crime. now, there are those within the labour movement who think that this has gone too far. keir starmer has been at pains to try to paint his party now as being the grown—ups in the room, and this rather contradicts that strategy, some might argue. equally, though, labour are quite

happy, perhaps, to keep this issue of the conservatives' record, in terms of tackling crime, front and centre. now — how's this to blow your mind? new evidence suggests people were getting high on drugs in spain 3,000 years ago.i've been talking to the lead researcher. we are very excited about these results because these prove the consumption of drugs on human hair dating to the label around 1000 bc, so that means 3,000 years ago. so we are very happy about these results. i mentioned human hair, but tell us the nature of the drugs that you're talking about. yes. we analysed samples of human hair recovered at the burial site on the island of minorca, and we have detected three different alkaloids — ephedrine, which comes from a joint

find, it provides a drug with stimulant properties, and also scopolamine and atropine, which are alkaloids of the nightshade family, the family of the tobacco, which was an american plant, but also other members of this family were in europe at the time. and what is that likely to have induced? i mean, how strong is what you just described, in terms of the drugs? as these alkaloids were fixed on the hair, this means that the consumption was quite consistent. we cannot say on a daily basis, on a regular basis, but it was quite consistent in order to those alkaloids to be present along the hair strands. it's so interesting. we're looking at pictures of the hair samples that you analyse because, i mean, just to underline the importance of your work, i mean, previously, people had thought

that there was pre—historic drug use in europe, but the evidence always was from artwork on cave walls, that sort of thing. this is the first time we've really seen it in something like this, isn't it? yes, that's right. because other scholars have been suggesting the consumption of drugs among prehistoric communities. but so far, this evidence was based on the presence of drug plants in prehistoric sites. now here's the weather with ben rich. hello. sunny skies have been the story for this good friday for most parts of the uk including here in monmouth. i can't promise it's going to stay the sunny through the rest of the weekend. there will be some sunny spells but more in the way of cloud and some rain arriving later in the weekend. on the earlier satellite picture you can see a lot

of cloud lurking in the north sea, some of that now rolling inland and towards the west, frontal systems waiting in the atlantic will eventually bring some outbreaks of rain. through tonight, we will see more of this cloud rolling and across eastern scotland and eastern england and of the same time fog patches could develop through parts of the midlands and into southeast england. some clear spells which will allow temperatures to drop. were going to get close to freezing in places so some of us will see a touch of frost to start saturday morning. on balance, saturday still a fine —looking day, spells of sunshine but more cloud across eastern scotland and eastern england. that cloud will tend to retreat towards the north sea coast but where the cloud lingers it will make it feel really rather cool, temperatures in aberdeen getting to around 8 celsius. further west, sunny skies and highs of 15 or 16 but we will see more cloud into northern ireland, a week frontal system which could bring the odd spot of rain during saturday night.

into sunday, here comes another weather front which will have more energy about it so we will see the clouds thickening across northern ireland, some rain here by the afternoon, perhaps into western scotland, west wales, the far southwest of england, but ahead of that, some spells of sunshine and areas of cloud with a strengthening southerly breeze, it's going to feel warm, temperatures as high as 16 celsius or 17 celsius but through sunday night this frontal system pushes eastwards, taking outbreaks of rain with it. the most persistent rain will be mainly confined to the overnight hours but some will linger in eastern england on monday morning. it will be quite a wet day across the northern isles. elsewhere, sunny spells but also showers, some of which could be heavy, possibly with hail and thunder, and slightly lower temperatures, typically between ten and 15 celsius. a5 temperatures, typically between ten and 15 celsius. as we head deeper into next week, quite a change, some spells of rain and the chance of gales.
