to £65,000 a year. they feel these reforms are sensible and need her to modernise the rails but it seems at the moment they are at impasse. the i a . the moment they are at impasse. the gap between the two sides have been an enormous of the last few months in terms of where we are now, there has been a relatively new transport secretary, we are wary one week on seeing a resolution? it secretary, we are wary one week on seeing a resolution?— secretary, we are wary one week on seeing a resolution? it has not been reall bus seeing a resolution? it has not been really busy here. _ seeing a resolution? it has not been really busy here. the _ seeing a resolution? it has not been really busy here. the transport - really busy here. the transport secretary accused unions of cynically targeting the eurovision and fa cups final something the unions strongly deny but there was a period at the end of last year when we felt like there may be a breakthrough, some strikes were called out and network rail, rmt workers there accepted the offer. so there was a feeling for a while that there was a feeling for a while that there may be a break here but certainly not a return to this war of words that we've had before. aslef leader telling us today that

his members are urging him to escalate, go harder and fasterfor future action. so they're not really that out. rmt as well have a mandate possibly for up to six months more strict action if they see fit. at the moment they are no real easy ways out. no real solution on hand and unfortunately more frustration and unfortunately more frustration and it seems from the travelling public of the next few weeks at least. ., ~' , ., public of the next few weeks at least. . ,, , ., ., ., ,, least. thank you for taking us throu~h least. thank you for taking us through all— least. thank you for taking us through all of— least. thank you for taking us through all of that. _ least. thank you for taking us through all of that. strike - least. thank you for taking us i through all of that. strike action was just one of the factors cited in contributing to weak economic growth during the first three months of the year here in the uk. the uk economy grew byjust 0.1 % betweenjaunuary and march, according to the office for national statistics, though it did avoid recession. here's our economics correspondent, andy verity, reports. from alex's business, to barry's fruit and veg, in grainger market in the heart

of newcastle, over 80 small businesses here are struggling like the rest of the economy to grow their businesses as consumers face food price inflation of 19.2% rein in their spending on everything else. sara lee started selling gifts just one week before lockdown. the last three years have been a struggle, she says, with expansion plans on hold. with everything happening in the last three years it's held us back slightly so we are hopefully maybe next year or the year after thinking of a larger unit to have things like that but we've got to wait and see. nearby is matthew's coffee shop. he's recently had to put his prices up but says his customers are supportive. people want to start saving money, they cut out, lunches, it's a luxury item but what the pandemic is people are a little bit more confident spending local now because they realise they are supporting

their own communities —— they cut out coffees. paul says more people are coming in for repairs on his jewellery shop, but the gold he buys has doubled in price and he's not optimistic about the economy. loads of people haven't got any money stop i'm not loaded. since i started this business i pay myself not much more than the minimum wage. across the way, alex has had to adapt but he's more optimistic. i'm going to keep pushing on with what i'm doing and make my business more efficient and if anything i've learned from this crisis and i've had to rethink what i'm doing. with consumer facing services like this shrinking by 0.8% in march, the economyjust grew by one tenth of 1%. in over three months the uk remains below its pre—pandemic level now three and a half years ago but there are some grounds for optimism. surveys are pointing to an acceleration of growth, business confidence, even the housing market, some of the indicators are starting

to look a bit better so perhaps, yes, the second half of the second quarter might be a little bit stronger than the first. it gives people more hope for back at the market, it gives people more hope.. back at the market, tien is fashioning a charm for wealth, hoping inflation comes down so consumers don't have to keep trimming their spending. for now, we're all stuck in a long period of stagflation meaning rampant inflation and stagnant growth where consumers leaving luxuries on the shelf. andy verity, bbc news. well if you are struggling with the rising cost of living, there's advice on a special section on the front page of our website called 'tackling it together�*. just head to bbc.co.uk/news here in london, at what's become known as the hacking trial, the court has heard from lawyers

for the defendants, mirror group newspapers — who say there was no evidence that voicemails of celebrities, including prince harry, were ever intercepted. the barrister even said that many of the complaints were driven by nothing more than 'a sense of outrage.�* our news correspondent, robin brant, is following developments. this is the second hacking trial that i have been to the last dated the first in 2014, that was criminal proceedings people ending up in jail. this is a civil proceeding. this is a legal proceedings brought by a group of people including the duke of sussex, prince harry and some other celebrities in which they allege that in a period stretching back over 30 years to 1991, journalists and crucially we her today in court, allegations that people of the very top of the country that owned the sunday mirror knew what was going on in terms of intercepting those phones, hacking as the lawyer for the group

including prince harry known as the complainants says that this was a, clever up plain and simple. —— cover up. they allege that they knew that the what they were doing and that they had it from others as well. that is denied at the people at the mirror. crucially we heard the opening statement from andrew greene who represents mirror group newspapers making it clear that the four cases we are hearing but in the cases in the trial are test cases, saying that they are very evidentially far from saying that they are very evidentially farfrom eight saying that they are very evidentially far from eight cases that were tried back in 2015 when a judge awarded compensation over £1 million and found that phone hacking and other what is known as unlawful information gathering techniques were committed by people at this newspaper. in terms of the case that the defensive to speak is rebutting,

we heard andrew greene say that he believes that there is a deep unreliability and overreached to the case and the claim being made by people like the duke of sussex and the other three people. we will hear from witnesses starting next week, it will go on for several weeks. we will hearfrom the it will go on for several weeks. we will hear from the four people involved including in person, prince harry. the uk's largest cancer treatment sector has been downgraded by the care quality commission amid allegations and stopping staff speaking openly with inspections took place. the hospital in manchester were a leader in cancer treatment for more than one century and has not been rated as requires improvement. in terms of safe care and leadership. they are saying they are working hard to make the necessary improvements. now — alice chambers is a big fan of the royal family who travelled to the mall on saturday — hoping to catch a glimpse of king charles on the day

of his coronation. instead, she was arrested by police and detained for 13 hours. she'd been standing near protestors from thejust stop 0il group — and ended up in handcuffs. police say they are reviewing the case, as aruna iyengar reports. this is alice chambers, an aussie and a fan of the royal family. and here she is at a buckingham palace garden party in 2017. 0n the day of the coronation, she was expecting to see this. she arrived at the mall at seven to get a good spot. the excitement was building, but two hours later, everything changed. i was just sitting there waiting for the coronation to begin, and next minute, i realise that the police had just swooped in and started grabbing a whole heap of people. this is alice, on the mall, being detained with just stop 0il protesters. they handcuffed me straight away and then pulled me out of the crowd and put me against a barrier

with a whole heap of other protesters. not my king, not my king! last saturday, police made 64 arrests during the coronation. 52 were related to concerns that people were going to disrupt the event. we have the right to free speech! alice gave her contact details and shared her id. it took four hours before she got to a police station. i kept trying to explain that ijust wasn't part of this group. i always tried to just think, well, surely, there is going to be someone soon that i can talk to that willjust understand that this is all a misunderstanding. and thatjust didn't come, you know? i was detained for 13 hours. whilst all this was going on in london, alice was giving police her dna. her photo and fingerprints were taken. it wasn't until seven o'clock that evening that she was interviewed and released.

final is now under way. thousands of fans have descended on liverpool to witness the extravaganza, but how well do they actually know the songs? 0ur digital video journalist jimmy tam challenged a few to finish the lyrics. think you know your eurovision songs? i'm in liverpool to put fans to the test. # we're going u—u—u—u—u—u—up # euphoria # forever till the end of time # from now on, only you and i # we're going u—u—u—u—u—u—up # viva la diva # viva victoria # afrodita # cleopatra # whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, waterloo # couldn't escape if i wanted to # whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, waterloo # but soon you will find # that there comes a time # for making your mind up # from the fading light i fly

here to take you through the next few hours with more on the breaking news from moscow about the uk sending long—range missiles. thank you for watching we'll see you next time. hello. not everybody got the sunshine on friday. in fact, it was fairly cold and gloomy in the east of the country. the best of the warmth was further west. how about the weekend? we can summarise it like this. sunny on saturday and showers expected on sunday, at least for some of us. now, the big picture shows an area of high pressure building on top of the uk around scotland and northern ireland. but to the south we're closer to low pressure and a weather front has brought some clouds, some light rain and drizzle in places that's now mostly faded. but it is going to be a fairly cloudy night. east of the pennines, central parts of england and further south too. many northern and western areas should have a relatively clear night and a nip in the first thing on saturday morning, about six degrees in the lowlands of scotland.

so this is what it looks like on saturday morning. sunshine from the word go across many western and northern parts of the country, but the cloud may be stubborn across england, especially eastern areas. and in fact, some areas may stay fairly cloudy all through the day, particularly closer to the north sea coast. it'll be chilly here, but elsewhere, widely, the high teens up to 20 degrees. a beautiful day for cardiff, for liverpool, for belfast and for glasgow. now the uv levels are going to be high this weekend. of course, the sun is strong in may. so let's not forget that it's dependent on the temperature. it's dependent on the time of the year. now, the forecast for sunday shows a weather front approaching so that high pressure over us isn't going to last for very long. here's the weather front as it makes its journey into north—western parts of the uk on sunday and then eventually crossing the irish sea, moving into the lake district, reaching liverpool and also the western fringes of wales as well as south—western england. so here, cooler, cloudier with rain at times the warmth and the sunshine

will contract towards the east and the south. and in london we could see highs up to about 22 degrees celsius on sunday, but the warmth isn't going to last for very long. you can see the orange colours get replaced by yeah, these cooler conditions from the north and that billow. these cooler conditions from the north and that blue. so things are going to cool off as we head into next week. in fact, you can see that warm weekend there sunday in cardiff and london. and after that it turns cooler with temperatures in the mid—teens. but generally speaking, we are expecting fairly dry weather.

tonight at six: the party is underway here in liverpool on the eve of the eurovision song contest — which it's hosting on behalf of ukraine. people have come from all over the world to enjoy the spectacle. we are born and bred here, so it makes us so proud of the city. i think it's just - done the city proud, so proud, eurovision- proud and ukraine proud! # instead i wrote a song about how you did me wrong, # i could have cried at home flying the flag for the uk — mae muller tells us... i feel like you can never be 100% prepared for eurovision, you know? ifeel like it's a one in a million

like lifetime experience, but it's exceeded my expectations.
