tonight at ten, more strikes are coming by nurses in england after rejecting the governent�*s lastest pay offer. ministers call the decision by royal college of nursing disappointing, but the union is standing firm. this offer was not enough for our members and it is now down to the government to listen to the voice of nursing and put a better offer on the table. we can't make an award that would fuel inflation and mean that people who are really struggling with cost of living increases have to come back this time next year with those same concerns. members with those same concerns. unison in england inclu1 some members unison in england including some paramedics and nurses have accepted the deal however. we will

have the latest. also tonight... the man accused of the worst leak of us intelligence documents in years appears in court. the brief life of finlay boden, dead at ten months old. his parents, guilty of his murder. the european space mission to the icy moons ofjupiter. could there be life out there? and take that are among a line—up fit for a king at the coronation concert. and coming up on bbc news, england's man of the moment harry brook hits the first century of this year's ipl, including 12 fours and three sixes.

good evening. members of the royal college of nursing in england have voted to reject the government's latest pay offer and will continue their strike action. the government describes the move as "hugely concerning" for patients. nursing leaders say what has been offered is simply not enough. a 5% pay rise from april was offered as well as a one—off payment of at least £1,655 to top up the past year's pay award. but 54% of rcn members who voted rejected the deal. and so the union has announced a 48—hour strike starting on the evening of the 30th april until 2nd may. that same pay offer has been accepted by members of the unison union, which includes ambulance workers. meanwhile, thousands ofjunior doctors in england are staging the final day of their four day strike about pay. here's our health editor hugh pym.

it was the most widespread action in the history of the nursing union. what do we want? fair pay! striking rcn members on picket lines. a deal was agreed by the leadership, along with other unions, but now it has been thrown out by members and another strike is planned. our members have made that decision today. this offer was not enough for our members and it is now down to the government to listen to the voice of nursing and put a better offer on the table. they need to restore the nurses�* pay. good boy, sit down. vicki is a paediatric nurse. she voted to reject the offer. i don't feel like an offer of 5% is going to fix the problems we have in the nhs. we have huge recruitment and retention issues and to offer nurses 5% isn't going to fix that. claire, who has been an nhs nurse for 30 years, voted in favour of the pay deal, though she says it was with a heavy heart.

part of the reason why i accepted it is because i'm fed up of being angry. there are so many things to be angry about, and i know that was causing some levels of conflict with patients and with other colleagues. would you go on strike again? yes. the rcn has been in different talks and disputes in the uk's nations. in england, an offer has been rejected, while in scotland, a higher offer was accepted. in wales, union members rejected one deal and are expecting a higher offer. in northern ireland, there has been no offer but the union is in talks. horn honks members of another health union, unison, including ambulance staff, were on strike, but their members have now voted to accept the deal negotiated with ministers in england. it's really clear that over 110,000 unison members want to take the offer rather than wait in vain for the pay review body. the government said the decision by unison members to accept the pay offer showed it was a fair

and reasonable proposal, and the vote by the rcn was hugely disappointing. other health unions are still consulting their members. we strongly urge the nhs unions that are still voting to support this deal because this is going to be better for patients who depend on the nhs but also betterfor nhs staff who want to get back to work and look after those patients. # tell me why...# junior doctors in england, meanwhile, were out on picket lines again on the finalfull day of a four—day strike, with no sign of any end to their dispute. the bma has called for the conciliation service acas to be invited in to get talks going. the government says that it is possible but only if they drop the 35% pay claim which ministers argue is unreasonable and unaffordable. i've just visited the office of steve barclay. we have a group of doctors here who are hoping to drop off a letter. a small group of doctors demonstrated outside

the constituency office of health secretary steve barclay. the question now, will their union call another strike, with the royal college of nursing already planning its walk—out over the early may bank holiday? hugh pym, bbc news. the past few months have seen several long—running pay disputes in different sectors. some have been settled, including ambulance workers in england from the union unison, staff on network rail from the rmt, and criminal barristers. but many are still ongoing, including teachers, passport office staff, civil servants, staff of train operating companies, and postal workers. 0ur political correspondent damian grammaticas is at westminster tonight. the rcn decision in england, a blow for the government which must have been thinking that we might have dealt with this dispute? yes. been thinking that we might have dealt with this dispute?— dealt with this dispute? yes, i think if you step _ dealt with this dispute? yes, i think if you step back and - dealt with this dispute? yes, i | think if you step back and think

dealt with this dispute? yes, i - think if you step back and think the government has several big priorities and one is keeping or bringing inflation down so it does not want to agree to pay settlements it thinks will fuel that point to another is to tackle the waiting lists in the nhs and a third one is to bring back economic growth which is flatlining. more strikes are not going to help those second two things but tonight what downing street is indicating is it wants to say that there is one union that speaks for a large number of health workers and have accepted it and it should be seen as a good deal, and that several hundred thousand more who are balloting and two more unions, results by the end of the month you should also accept it and it wants to wait for the result. the rcn will it strike action at the nhs is under severe pressure. junior doctors are talking about escalating strike action through the year and there are no talks going on there. and the deal that has been agreed today, that has been accepted, is being seen as a benchmark so elsewhere, civil servants have said they are not being given something

as good as what the nurses and health staff had been given so they are going to escalate their strike action. all of it leaves you thinking, how is the government going to resolve this? will it concede two or higher demands, hold the line? all of that lead you to think that there may well be many strikes coming.— think that there may well be many strikes cominu. . , . ., . , strikes coming. damian grammaticus, thank ou, strikes coming. damian grammaticus, thank you. from _ strikes coming. damian grammaticus, thank you. from a _ strikes coming. damian grammaticus, thank you, from a wet _ strikes coming. damian grammaticus, thank you, from a wet westminster. l a us airman has appeared in court, charged over the leak of hundreds of secret american intelligence documents. jack teixeira, who's 21, was identified as the leader of an online chat group where the documents first emerged. they detail among other things ukrainian troop deployments against russia, and which of its own allies america is spying on. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher, is outside the courthouse in boston for us tonight. the suspect, jack teixeira, appeared in the courthouse behind me today and was charged with what has been

described as the worst leak of us intelligence in at least a decade. 0n intelligence in at least a decade. on two accounts, involving the unauthorised retention, removal and transmission of defence and classified material, so we could face up to 15 years behind bars. the authorities first became aware of the league is about ten days ago and have been working around the clock to get this far, and president biden praised them for their rapid action but also said he had ordered the military and intelligence community to take more steps to secure sensitive information. here is my report. jack teixeira's parents left the courthouse without commenting. they'd watched their son face charges that could lead to many years in prison. he is a national guardsman, a video gamer, and now the chief suspect in a major intelligence leak. he gave up without a fight when the fbi knocked on his door. to his neighbours, he was just a regular guy. i've seen him walking around, hanging out with a kind of group that always want to go in the military. they were also big into video games.

so i'm not surprised it would have been over minecraft and stuff. but ijust find it's crazy. i think it's nuts. nothing like this has happened around here. this is a very small community, everybody knows each other. these are some of the documents he revealed — sensitive secrets about american allies, assessments about the weaknesses in ukraine's fight with russia. jack douglas teixeira worked in the intelligence wing of the massachusetts air national guard. he was an it specialist in a relativelyjunior position. he has been identified as the leader of an online chat group where the leaked documents first emerged. they were posted on discord, a social media platform popular with video gamers. the group teixeira led reportedly had some two dozen members, including foreigners, who talked about war games and shared racist jokes. but us officials were not aware of the leak until material was posted outside the chat group on other platforms, like message board 4chan, messaging app telegram, and eventually twitter.

but teixeira's friends said he wasn't trying to undermine the government. any claims that he is a russian operative or pro—russian is categorically false. he is not interested in helping any foreign agencies with their attack on the us or other countries. he was a young charismatic man who loved nature, god, who loved shooting guns and racing cars. washington is facing a major diplomatic embarrassment and the pentagon is investigating how such a low ranking officer could cause such a high—profile intelligence leak. what makes this particular leak of classified information so unique and so damaging, in many other instances we've had in the past where there has been a leak of classified information, it is dated, it is old information, or it's about sort of broader programmes. that doesn't mean it's not sensitive or damaging, but the point is, it is not incident specific.

what you have here is classified information that is about real—time national security foreign policy issues, military conflicts. it is the third big leak in 13 years. the us needs to convince allies it can keep its secrets. barbara plett usher, bbc news, boston. well, the full impact of the leaks is still emerging. 0ur security correspondent, frank gardner is here, to assess how damaging they could be. just how bad is this intelligence leak? the answer is very bad, notjust for the us but its allies including britain. let's start with russia and its own spies. now they know exactly what parts of their military intelligence network is being eavesdropped on by the us. and rather like putting a digital patch on a laptop or a mobile, they will move swiftly to plug those gaps. when it comes to america's

allies, this is a serious case of broken trust. and that's on two levels. washington hasn'tjust been spying on its enemies, it's been spying on its friends too, like ukraine, israel and south korea. secondly, the us has clearly been sharing this supposedly secret intelligence with far too many people. that will make some countries think twice before they can trust america with sensitive information. but by far the most serious damage has been done to ukraine, a country still fighting for its very survival. these leaked us intelligence assessments reveal, in precise detail, what weapons ukraine still has. and the chilling conclusion is that it's fast running out of air defence missiles. they even put a date on it — may 23rd. that tells the kremlin that if ukraine can't resupply itself by then,

it could be safe to unleash the russian air force. and that, potentially, could change the entire course of this war in moscow's favour. frank, thank you. the parents of a ten—month—old baby have been found guilty of his murder. finley boden was placed in care when he was born, but was then returned to his parents and died just 39 days later, on christmas day 2020. stephen boden and shannon marsden will be sentenced next month. here's our midlands correspondent, navteonhal. this was finley boden, a happy, giggling baby who, just a couple of months after this video was filmed, died while in the care of those who should have been protecting him. these were his parents, 30—year—old stephen boden and 22—year—old shannon marsden. they murdered their baby son on christmas day 2020. the court heard finley was the victim of repeated acts of severe violence

at their home in chesterfield. the pair were regular heavy users of cannabis who the jury heard prioritised getting money to spend on the drug over their son's care. this was the state of the home when finley died. child protection concerns meant he was removed from his parents shortly after he was born in february 2020. but later that year, he was returned to their care by a court order following an eight—week transition, despite social workers asking for a longer period. georgia lived next door to the family. he was absolutely filthy. they were absolutely filthy. the house was absolutely filthy. and my honest first thought was, i don't understand how they'd got the kid living in there. this is the house where finley lived after he was returned to his parents. and it's where he was abused in the days and weeks leading up to his death. by the time he died, he had 130

injuries — bruises, burns, and even fractures to his bones. as a parent, you have no greater responsibility than to a child who is in your care. but boden and marsden could not even bring themselves to take poor finley to hospital when it was totally clear that he was critically ill. they've never given a reasonable explanation as to why they did not do this. but it appears abundantly clear that their primary concern was their own freedom. finley suffered a fatal collapse in the early hours of christmas morning and was pronounced dead in hospital. the cause of death was given as multiple episodes of non—accidental blunt force trauma. as parents, you're supposed to protect, not harm them. you're not supposed to harm your kids. i don't understand it. i really don't. on average, 20 children under one are the victims of homicide each year in england and wales.

the government have promised £200 million of investment into children's social care over the next two years in england, but that is just a fifth of the amount recommended by their own independent inquiry. in the meantime, a safeguarding review is due to ask whether more could have been done to protect finley, a baby whose life ended in the cruellest of ways. navteonhal, bbc news, derby. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, has insisted that britain is back. he says finance ministers around the world welcome how things are going. he made the comments at the international monetary fund meeting in washington, however latest figures show that the uk economy failed to grow in february. here is economics editor, faisal islam. the world's most important finance ministers seem rather calm at this key summit, the great hope in the world economy that the crises are now behind us, that normality might resume itself,

around the world and in the uk. it does seem like that here, and the chancellor, jeremy hunt, is certainly sounding upbeat. it's other finance ministers who are telling me that britain is back, and they're very happy because we always play a very big role in helping to solve global problems. we had the fastest—growing economy in the g7 last year. so far we've avoided recession this year. it's a pretty low bar, though, avoiding recession. not at all. what we want to see is growth increasing and inflation coming down, and that's why we took very significant reforms, reforms, by the way, which have been welcomed by the imf here in washington as putting the british economy back on the right track. but there are two significant shadows. the world's great economic powers fighting with one another over the future of green industry and unable to agree the joint statement on the economic way forward because of the war in ukraine. and then there's the financial system, which is not in general crisis, but might contain some nasty surprises. the economic outlook remains subdued. also interest rates have increased very substantially,

so it is creating certain challenges which need to be monitored. all this certainly is a far cry from the situation six months ago, when the chancellor's predecessor was hauled back from this very meeting in order to be fired amid the mini budget crisis. and some of his fellow finance ministers are daring to feel a little bit optimistic about what's going on in the world economy generally. but as the chancellor returns to flat growth in britain and industrial strife, concerns remain about something hidden in the reeds of the global financial system. faisal islam, bbc news, at the imf in washington. the european space agency has launched one of its most ambitious ever missions, sending a spacecraft towards jupiter. it will take eight years to get there, and when it finally arrives, will begin a detailed study of the planet's major moons, including exploring whether there may be the conditions to sustain life.

here's our science editor, rebecca morelle. trois, deux, un. . .top! the start of a journey to the outer reaches of the solar system. this is the european space agency's juice mission, and it has a 4 billion—mile voyage ahead. it's travelling here, tojupiter�*s giant moons, some of the largest in the solar system. they're shrouded in thick layers of ice, but beneath, there are hints of vast liquid oceans, and scientists want to find out if they could support life. the uk has developed one of the instruments on the spacecraft. so what we're looking at here is the flight spare of our instrument. the black box is the electronics box. that's where the data is sent through, and that's actually put into a vault on the main body of the spacecraft. it will help us to see if the oceans are there, and whether they have the conditions

that are right for life. we've got volcanic thermal vents on the earth, in the really deep oceans of the earth, where bacteria has been found. could easily be something similar. not like little green people running around the surface, because on the surface, they'd be killed by the radiation environment anyway. this mission will give us close—up views of three ofjupiter�*s moons. it will fly past europa, hoping to spot plumes of water erupting, and callisto, with its heavily cratered surface of ice and rock. finally, it will orbit around ganymede, the solar system's largest moon, where it will measure its icy crust, which could reach 100 miles — that's 160 kilometres down — and it will search for a liquid ocean underneath, which could be ten times deeper than anything we have on earth. the pictures, the visible images are going to be absolutely incredible. so ganymede is covered in dark terrain and interesting impact

craters, and a sort of footprint of the activity that would have taken place early on when it was formed. being in orbit around ganymede will produce imaging resolution of a few metres, so we're going to be able to see exquisite detail in those pictures. separationjuice confirmee... cheering for the mission team, it's a chance to celebrate, but they've now got a long wait ahead. it will take eight years to reach thejupiter system, but scientists say it will be worth it. if these distant, seemingly inhospitable moons are found to be habitable, where else could life exist in the universe? rebecca morelle, bbc news. it's the final day of president biden�*s visit to the republic of ireland, and it's been a trip close to his heart. he's been in county mayo, his ancestral home, and greeted well—wishers in ballina, the hometown of his great—great grandfather who emigrated to the us in 1851. 0ur north america editor sarah smith is travelling with the president.

tiny ballina is basking in the attention, putting on quite a show. thousands wait and wait to greet their famous guest. cheering i want to say thank you. i heard you all had an impromptu celebration the night i was declared the winner in the 2020 election. cars and crowns gathered to sing, the green and the red of mayo. i tell you what, it means the world to me, it meant the

world to me and my entire family to be graced asjoe, son of ballina. anyone who expects an important political announcement tonight has come to the wrong place. this whole trip has been more of a sentimental family outing than it has been a serious diplomatic mission. and it's been obvious throughout, president biden has loved every single minute of it. the us president can't travel like a normal tourist, so air force one, the most recognisable plane in the world, is taking him to reconnect with his ancestral irish roots. learning more about his forebears at the heritage centre was a highlight of the day for a man who says he feels very much at home in ireland. he made a pilgrimage to knock shrine, where priest showed him a mosaic said to depict when the

virgin mary appeared in front of residents. he touched the very spot where the apparition were seen, just as several popes have before him. followed by an emotional family moment when, flanked by his sister and his son, he contemplated a memorial to his late son beau. ballina makes a very fitting backdrop, one of his ancestors built it before emigrating to america. his great—great—grandson has returned to tell the story of immigrants everywhere, and saying this feels like coming home. he doesn't want to leave. sarah smith, bbc news, ballina. it's been ladies' day at aintree, with racegoers braving april downpours. the aintree festival culminates tomorrow with, of course, the grand national. here's patrick geary. aintree, friday, where the must—have accessory is a brolly. sometimes, ladies' day is about fortitude as much

as fashion on the muddy catwalk. but it takes more than rainfall to knock the spirit out of liverpool. i think ladies' day is something we champion as our own. it's a chance for everyone to get dressed up, come and enjoy themselves, see some horses and have some fun and hopefully win some money. archive: the eyes of- the world are on aintree. .. they're building up to the big one, the grand national has been on the british sporting calendar since 1839. this will be the 175th race. it's a showpiece run by the brits, often won by the irish. 27 of the a0 runners this year are trained in ireland. well, it'sjust one of those times, i suppose. english racing has been very dominant for years. willie mullins has got very strong, and likewise gordon elliott as well. they're sourcing the right horses, they've got some owners who are committed to finding the best they can get. security for this year's festival is very tight, and the backdrop to that is a threat from animal rights protesters to disrupt the running

of the grand national. 0rganisers insist they are prepared, and police say they will deal with any disruption robustly. for those concentrating only on the national race card, last year's winner, noble yeats, is back, butjockey sam waley—cohen has since retired. and the name rachael blackmore always piques interest. the 2021 winner won this afternoon and will be on board ain't that a shame tomorrow. as you might have guessed, the going is soft, but the weather is due to get better. patrick gearey, bbc news, at aintree. take that, lionel richie and the pop singer katy perry will all be performing at the coronation concert as part of an eclectic line—up of artists. the grounds of windsor castle will be the venue for around 20,000 people on sunday the 7th of may. lizo mzimba has that story. gary barlow is of course no stranger to big royal events. he helped organise the queen's diamond jubilee concert in 2012. this time he'll be performing with take that.

# yeah, you and me, we can light up the stars... other performers range from pop figures like lionel richie... # oh, what a feeling. # when we're dancing on the ceiling... ..to classical singers sir bryn terfel and andrea bocelli. they'll be performing a duet together. two other artists duetting will be singer—songwriter freya ridings... # castles from the rubble of your love... _ ..and composer and pianist alexis french. it feels incredibly special i think to be part of a moment in history that is going to celebrate an incredibly momentous, once—in—a—lifetime occasion, in the midst of so many luminaries as well, is just such a thrill. while the event is designed

to display a diverse range of different music, one of the biggest draws is likely to be global superstar katy perry. # baby, you're a firework. # come on, show �*em what you're worth... with the thousands at windsor castle and the millions watching at home hoping for the kind of spectacle that the artists performing are famous for. lizo mzimba, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. thank you, good evening. a calm end to the day for this weather watcher in belfast. it is going to get chilly in northern ireland tonight and are largely clear skies, but broadly for the story for the weekend is for things to turn a little warmer than they have been this week, and they will be spells of sunshine. but it is not quite that simple, pretty hefty showers out there right now, a thunderstorm quite close to glasgow over the last couple of hours and this band of

more persistent rain is becoming increasingly confined to eastern parts of england, but we will keep cloud and some rain here, a little into south—east scotland. the lowest temperatures are likely to be across the north. as we head into tomorrow, this band of cloud first thing across eastern parts of england, some splashes of rain with that. the cloud will tend to break to give some sunny spells but there could be quite sharp showers across eastern is england through the afternoon. in the sunshine it will not feel too bad at all, temperatures higher than they have been, up to 15 degrees. some cloud getting into northern ireland late in the day because of this frontal system. this weather front will be with us as we head on into sunday, it is going to introduce more in the way of cloud. however, with southerly winds, most of us are going to get into some somewhat warmer air. so for sunday, more cloud in the next, producing a little bit of patchy rain here and

there. northern ireland may
