this is bbc news, the headlines... more than a million nhs staff in england will get a 5% pay rise after health unions backed the government deal. why the man often called the godfather of artificial intelligence has quit his job at google. and from vintage and sparkling cat costumes, fingerless gloves and iconic chanel pieces, it must be the met gala 2023 as the stars pay tribute to late fashion icon karl lagerfeld. but first year as king charles and queen camilla visiting westminster

ahead of the coronation —— but first, here is. let's have a look. british national anthem plays. the national anthem, of course, being sung, you can see prime minister rishi sunak and the later of the opposition labour party sir keir starmer, they are gathering at the palace of westminster four days before the coronation in what has been described as a celebrate a reception. the king and queen consort will go want to meet members of parliament, the prime minister, sir keir starmer and other members of parliament in this reception held at the palace of westminster. preparation is well under way for the coronation, it is almost a week

to go. that is a nice painting, or is it a picture? it looks like the sun with lots of flags sticking out of it. maybe his granddaughter old grandson drew that. almost a week to go and we expect a guestlist 2000 at westminster abbey just down the go and we expect a guestlist 2000 at westminster abbeyjust down the road from where these pictures are being taken, and a worldwide audience of millions as the king is crohn�*s. time for the sport now. hello from the bbc sport centre. it's all happening down at the bottom of the premier league. leeds are set to sack managerjavi gracia. his replacement is expected to be former england boss sam allardyce. director of football victor 0rta has also left the club. leeds are only the above the drop zone on goal difference. if alla rdyce if allardyce is confirmed, he will have four games to steer them clear of relegation. gracia wonjust three

of his 12 games in charge. liverpool manager jurgen klopp says he is expecting to be punished for his behaviour in sunday's 4—3 win against spurs. the reds boss charged towards the fourth official after their fourth goal and was booked, but the german could be in line for a touchline ban. i'd probably have to expect the punishment because i perhaps think that i questioned the integrity when i am calm, i do not do that. but in a moment, iam i am calm, i do not do that. but in a moment, i am disrupted i am calm, i do not do that. but in a moment, iam disrupted by i am calm, i do not do that. but in a moment, i am disrupted by my feelings, and if you go through the situations, there are some situations. arsenal can go back to the top of the premier league later with a win over london rivals chelsea. the blues have lost five out of five, under interim boss frank lampard, and arsenal will hope that extends to six. but arteta says the club must be pleased with qualifying for the top four and having a chance at the title at this stage in the season.

because we have achieved what was difficult to achieve it, and we can still achieve the premier league, because there are five games to go, and lots of things will happen. we have to forget what happened last week, learn from it and move on into the next game at home with our people, a london derby, and put things right. and there's three games in la liga on tuesday too. barca face 0sasuna — looking to extend their lead at the top — they're already 11 points clear of real madrid, who take on real sociedad in the evening game fifa president gianni infantino has urged broadcasters to "put their action behind their words" or they won't show the women's world cup in the so called big five european countries. infantino says fifa want to have equal prize money for the men's and women's tournaments, the latter of which starts injuly, and he says fifa won't sell the rights for it unless the offers improve.

broadcasters, especially public broadcasters funded by taxpayers money, should production behind their words because they criticise sporting organisations for not paying equally women and men, or not having the same prize money, but we need to generate the revenues and they should help us because otherwise we will simply not sell these rights at these undervalued prices to them. philadelphia took the first game of their second—round nba playoff series against the boston celtics 119-115, despite the 76ers being without star manjoel embiid. stepping up in embiid's absence wasjames harden. he poured in 45 points, matching his playoff career high. he had seven three pointers in total, with this one basicallly sealing the win to extend their lead to four points. harden says philly will win without embiid if they have to. you don't come into the game expecting to lose, we are here to win and even after this game and i

said to the guys i was not too happy. we are coming here to get a game two too, that it is our mindset. whether he comes back or not, we will be ready to go. 0bviously he is huge, everything for his team, but whoever is on the floor is going to win the game, that is what we will do tonight. the draw for the first — is what we will do tonight. the draw for the first ever _ is what we will do tonight. the draw for the first ever women's _ is what we will do tonight. the draw for the first ever women's nations l for the first ever women's nations league has taken place, it is on the bbc website. we will be back with more later, see you then. thank you. close to half a million sudanese have had to flee their homes since fighting erupted more than two weeks ago. among them, 100,000 have fled to neighbouring countries — that's according to the united nations. clashes have entered a third week, despite promises of a ceasefire. gunfire was heard across khartoum this morning and warplanes have also been seen flying over the capital today. aid agencies are warning that the conflict is at risk of becoming a broader disaster as sudan's poor neighbours deal

with a refugee crisis, and fighting blocks aid routes in a nation where two thirds of people already rely on some outside support. live now to professor nick westcott, director of the royal african society, and former british ambassador and high commissioner for several african states. thanks so much forjoining us. lots of what we have been talking about on the bbc and throughout the media is about people trying to escape the country, but i think you need to remember is that there is still a need for a brokering of peace within the country, what does that path to peace look like? it the country, what does that path to peace look like?— peace look like? it runs both throu~h peace look like? it runs both through the _ peace look like? it runs both through the two _ peace look like? it runs both through the two warring - peace look like? it runs both - through the two warring factions that need to at some point agreed to a real ceasefire and stop the continued addressing del microaggression, and secondly it needs to involve the civilian population of who have been to

achieve transition to a civilian government since the ousting of president this year in 2019. thirdly and crucially it needs to involve the international community who need to get their act together and speak with one voice, which they are not doing at present. with; with one voice, which they are not doing at present.— doing at present. why is this not happening? _ doing at present. why is this not happening? it — doing at present. why is this not happening? it seems _ doing at present. why is this not happening? it seems simple - doing at present. why is this not i happening? it seems simple when doing at present. why is this not - happening? it seems simple when you speak about it like that. the neighbouring _ speak about it like that. tue: neighbouring countries speak about it like that. tte: neighbouring countries are speak about it like that. t"t2 neighbouring countries are both speak about it like that. tt2 neighbouring countries are both very concerned that this order will spread across their borders but also some are backing one side against the other. he chipped has had a long—standing friendship with the de facto president who is the leader of the armed forces, but countries like libya and eritrea have been backing the paramilitary rifle. —— egypt has had a long—standing friendship with the de facto president. until those supplying the warring factions cut

off supplies and the source of money, gold is exported to the uae who sends money back and he can afford to buy more petrol and ammunition, and likewise his rifle is being supplied by some of his friends, until the supplies stop, both sides will think they will be able to win. both sides will think they will be able to win-— both sides will think they will be able to win. ~ ., , ., ., able to win. what is the role of the wider international _ able to win. what is the role of the wider international community? i able to win. what is the role of the l wider international community? the thatis wider international community? the that is a critical point at the african union is trying to get the neighbouring countries behind a single proposal to begin negotiations along with the regional organisation in the horn of africa. the united nations has a role to play too and those who have leveraged, and the eu, uk, us have leveraged, and the eu, uk, us have leveraged through their economic influence and economic sanctions, as does china because it has a lot of

business and runs a large part of the oil industry. russia is reputed to be shipping in arms too, that has to be shipping in arms too, that has to stop. so there is a wider community, the us, eu, un and aid you are talking here in nairobi partly because that is going on and trying to get in a delegation that will bring the two sides together in a real ceasefire and start a process of negotiation which will bring a new civilian government to place. but we are a little way yet.- but we are a little way yet. given what ou but we are a little way yet. given what you had _ but we are a little way yet. given what you had said, _ but we are a little way yet. given what you had said, looking - but we are a little way yet. given what you had said, looking ahead at what you had said, looking ahead at what potentially this could end up becoming, the humanitarian crisis almost seems like a tiny bit of what could potentially befall this country? could potentially befall this count ? ., , ., ., country? there was a nightmare scenario, country? there was a nightmare scenario. it _ country? there was a nightmare scenario, it is _ country? there was a nightmare scenario, it is not _ country? there was a nightmare scenario, it is not the _ country? there was a nightmare scenario, it is not the only - scenario, it is not the only unstable country in the region, somalia had a 20 year civil war from which it is emerging, ethiopia has

is it that writers and other workers within this union are striking about? to within this union are striking about? ., ,, ., within this union are striking about? ., , , ., ., about? to help sustain a system of urowth for about? to help sustain a system of growth for writing _ about? to help sustain a system of growth for writing as _ about? to help sustain a system of growth for writing as a _ about? to help sustain a system of growth for writing as a career - about? to help sustain a system of growth for writing as a career in - growth for writing as a career in hollywood. i know that on the outside anything involving hollywood and writers can seem like a night at the opera, but hopefully there is a focus if we come to an agreement after the strike on allowing younger writers who have justjoined the writers who have justjoined the writers guild to have a path forward to being able to pay to live in the very cities their shows are being produced in and to have a path forward, because a big part of this is that lots of people are repeating the beginner status of staff writer instead of what used to be towards growing to be a story editor and hopefully a producer in future and what is being displayed is a great

sense of solidarity with people who have been members for a long time who had seen how much of the work and the process of writing in hollywood has been devalued and almost systemically dismantled into becoming big work, essentially. where is that you value when coming from? i was reading about this earlier and some of it has to do with the way in which series and movies are made now and lots to do with the fact that big players like netflix are just churning out material in a way they were not before, and that is not good for writers, you think it would be because it will give you lots of work, but it is working the other way? work, but it is working the other wa ? , . , ., way? yes, the churn is part of it, it has started _ way? yes, the churn is part of it, it has started the _ way? yes, the churn is part of it, it has started the rise _ way? yes, the churn is part of it, it has started the rise of- way? yes, the churn is part of it, it has started the rise of what - way? yes, the churn is part of it, it has started the rise of what we j it has started the rise of what we call mini rooms, hiring a much smaller staff than what has historically been the norm to produce the same amount of work or

the end result to be getting less residuals if it is a straight distributing series, and residuals are the lifeline that writers in the industry have, if you have a historical broker scenario, you right for a show, you get a writing credit, it is aired and then out again on another network or the same and it is all getting ad revenue. there is a shroud of mystery over that now that we are trying to get a sense of how many people are viewing these things and how much of this we should get a fraction of. what we are really asking from the alliance of motion pictures... let's make sure i say this right, the alliance of motion picture and television producers is less than 2% of hollywood profits. the counter narrative we expect to hear is that this is not a good time to do this because we are dealing with a

fractured system, wall street lows, but if you look at the past 20 years there has been a steady growth, pitfalls, but it tends to bounce back and since we are only asking for less than 2% of overall profits, it is not much to seek. for less than 296 of overall profits, it is not much to seek.— for less than 2% of overall profits, it is not much to seek.— it is not much to seek. what will the impact _ it is not much to seek. what will the impact be — it is not much to seek. what will the impact be on _ it is not much to seek. what will the impact be on everyone's - the impact be on everyone's favourite shows, moving forward, if the strike goes on for a long time? it will be massive. i used to work for the tonight show withjimmy fallon, all the late—night shows will go dark. they will likely come back if the strike lasts over a few months and when they do they will be right to life so you will seejimmy fallon improvising his monologues... i am not sure i am ready for that. —— and when they do come back they will be without writers, so you will see jimmy will be without writers, so you will seejimmy fallon improvising his

monologues. he might have to improvise his games. last time there was a strike that was the rise of reality television, we will be dealing with the modern equivalent of 30. �* , , ., , , of 30. let's see what it brings, thank you _ of 30. let's see what it brings, thank you for— of 30. let's see what it brings, thank you for putting _ of 30. let's see what it brings, thank you for putting your- of 30. let's see what it brings, thank you for putting your case forward, tim barnes. it is good to talk to you. the leader of a kenyan doomsday cult is in court today, after more than a hundred of his followers were found in mass graves last month. former taxi driver paul mackenzie nthenge is accused of exhorting his followers to starve themselves to death to enter heaven before the world ended. on monday, kenya's chief pathologist said the first autopsies of victims, nine children and a woman, indicated death by starvation, and in two cases, asphyxiation dorcas wangira is in nairobi and joins us now. give us a bit more detail about this very, very upsetting story.- very, very upsetting story. today has been a _ very, very upsetting story. today has been a very _ very, very upsetting story. today has been a very eventful- very, very upsetting story. today has been a very eventful day - very, very upsetting story. today has been a very eventful day and| very, very upsetting story. todayl has been a very eventful day and a

very important day because the cult leader, pasteur paul mackenzie nthenge as he is known, was brought before court and he was meant to take charges including aiding suicide, child cruelty and frauds. but in a turn of events the magistrate said she was releasing him because the state prosecution did not bring enough evidence to charge him and immediately after he was released he was arrested again and taken to a neighbouring county to be charged for terrorism, so right now we understand he will be held by police for another three days. the director of public prosecution in kenya wants to help a pastor for another 90 days to allow for more investigation —— wants to hold the pastor. he says the initial time is not enough for all evidence to charge him in these crimes of the deaths of more than 100 people. iloathed

pathologist said the autopsies should be on starvation, but there were children who had been suffocated and the onus is now on the state prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the pastor is directly linked.— pastor is directly linked. dorcas, thank ou pastor is directly linked. dorcas, thank you for— pastor is directly linked. dorcas, thank you for the _ pastor is directly linked. dorcas, thank you for the update - pastor is directly linked. dorcas, thank you for the update on - pastor is directly linked. dorcas, thank you for the update on that extremely upsetting story. let's try to lift ourselves up a bit. today wrexham and their hollywood owners will celebrate their promotion to the english football league. they clinched promotion last month after beating borehamwood. 0wners ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney, who bought the club two years ago, will be there. their long term plan is to reach the premier league and this is seen as just the first step for the club under this ownership. i can't believe that iron in a place in my life where any sports team,

let alone one i happen to somehow be co—chairman of, has affected me this deeply. ifeel there was co—chairman of, has affected me this deeply. i feel there was a dna change when we lived through that boreham wood moment and that much. i don't know i will ever be quite the same again. i live in a constant slightly perpetual state of elation and i don't want to come back down from this cloud.— the fashion world gathered in new york city last night for the annual met gala — this year themed on the late fashion icon karl lagerfeld. the event, known for its star—studded guest list and extravagant outfits, included pearls, starched collars, and black and white to honour the legendary designer. nada tawfik was the story. —— has the story. shouting. stars at the met gala are usually asked to interpret a theme. this year there were simply told to dress in honour of one man,

the late fashion designer karl lagerfeld. many of his muses borrowed from chanel�*s archives. model naomi campbell wore a 2010 couture pink gown and actor penelope cruz chose a vintage piece with a sequined hood. this is actually a genuine karl piece from the museum from 1983, so it's his actual dress so we could hardly alter it. 0thers channelled lagerfeld's own personal style, the crisp, white shirt and black blazer. and you have the sunglasses, the accessories, down to the shoes. yeah, i mean, you know karl, he would always wear his gloves but i wished i could have a little bling, the rings here. —— but we still need to have a little bling. at first it appeared this year would be more understated than most, focusing instead on the iconic looks that marked his career, including the chanel wedding dresses. but there were a few surprises. this is the one bit of theatre

we have had tonight, an homage to karl lagerfeld's much beloved cat choupette. it wasn't just jared leto who went full feline. it took nine hours for lil nas x to turn into a sparkly cat covered in pearls and crystals, and rapper doja cat transformed herself with a prosthetic nose. i want to have fun, this is my first gala, so i wanted to do it big. it was hardly a first for rihanna, whose extravagant looks have become a staple of this event. she arrived fashionably late in a floral cape that highlighted her baby bump, another met gala in the books and once again rihanna stole the show. nada tawfik, bbc news, at the met gala. let's look at some pictures we received few minutes ago at the bbc, pictures of king charles and i think

the queen consort camilla is somewhere fair, they are both at the palace of westminster, not very far from westminster abbey, where the coronation will take place in a few days. they are meeting and greeting mps, members of all parties including sir keir starmer, as you can see, and prime minister rishi sunak. this is a high profile pre—coronation reception, attended by around 800 members of the houses of parliament. a little bit before these pictures the king was treated to a rendition of the national anderson. stay with us here on bbc news. plenty more in a few minutes.

hello. the rest of the day, i do not think there will be much change in the weather, it is dry for most of us but a fair amount of cloud around, having said that there are a couple of places where it has been really sunny and pleasant, particularly in the south—west of the country. admittedly we have high pressure but that does not always mean sunshine. farfrom it, you can see how extensive the colleges across parts of the country, we have had big breaks in cornwall, devon, parts of wales and east anglia but the clouds have been developing. 0nly the clouds have been developing. only 11 degrees in newcastle but towards the west, temperatures are

hitting the high teens in the early to middle afternoon. also worthy of note are the pollen levels, pretty high across the bulk of the country. the weather forecast is pretty straightforward tonight, broadly speaking across the south of the uk, lengthy, clear spells, cloudy further north in quite a contrast in the temperatures, while sky is clear and east anglia maybe a couple of degrees, and towards the west in northern ireland, the thickest of the cloud will be in northern england and scotland tomorrow, rain at times from glasgow into central scotland and the western isles, elsewhere i think there will be sunny spells, it should be a decent day and temperatures should be higher in newcastle, up to 15 and around 17 expected in cardiff. changes afoot from thursday, weather fronts will gradually move in off the atlantic, spelling wet weather

for south—western areas. notice quite an easterly breeze, meaning it will be chilly closer to the north sea coasts for some of us, perhaps not even making double figures in aberdeenshire, 11 again in newcastle, higher temperatures further south. 0n newcastle, higher temperatures further south. on thursday and into the weekend the rather mixed bag continues with weather systems to meet again but i think it will be in the form of showers rather than steady rain so our apps are likely to update wherever you see a symbol with the sunny spells, it is likely to chop and change through the day and day by day. goodbye.
