here in the uk — the veteran tv presenter phillip schofield will no longer present itv�*s this morning after agreeing to step down "with immediate effect" — his last programme was on thursday. the presenter has worked on the show for more than 20 years. recent reports claimed relations between him and co—host holly willoughby were strained. yesterday, his brother timothy schofield was sentenced to 12 years for sex offences against a child. today, philip schofield said the last few days had been �*very difficult' and that itv felt the current situation couldn't continue. our media correspondent david sillito reports. welcome back, i am holding the fort. holly has had to leave early today, because she is meeting his majesty

you think by decision for him to step down. what you think b— decision for him to step down. what you think by goodness me, we know that these duos _ you think by goodness me, we know that these duos on _ you think by goodness me, we know that these duos on tv, _ you think by goodness me, we know that these duos on tv, their- that these duos on tv, their chemistry is their superpower. when it works, it is magnificent. we have seen it with and and deck for many years, and we have seen it over a decade with phil and holly. when chemistry cracks, and it becomes increasingly awkward, as his statement says, this morning had become the story rather than what they were reporting on. it did seem as though over the last few years, we have seen the power shift. when hollyjoined in 2009, philip was very much a star, centre stage, and really keen to introduce this new person to audiences. that is not the case any more, it holly willoughby very much has her own brand, her own management company, we have seen a spacing of the ways, and as a correspondent has talked about, in the last year, too many stories away from the screen centring on phillip schofield and clearly some awkwardness has crept in and made it

untenable that people treat them as a dynamic duo on our screens in the morning and in our living room. something had to go, and i think that holly is unfortunately holding more cards these days.— more cards these days. certainly, viewers in — more cards these days. certainly, viewers in the _ more cards these days. certainly, viewers in the uk _ more cards these days. certainly, viewers in the uk will _ more cards these days. certainly, viewers in the uk will know - more cards these days. certainly, viewers in the uk will know that l viewers in the uk will know that holly willoughby's brand is very strong. she has a large social media presence and presents a lot of other shows. what does this mean for philip schofield? it is interesting, the head of— philip schofield? it is interesting, the head of itv _ philip schofield? it is interesting, the head of itv has _ philip schofield? it is interesting, the head of itv has been - philip schofield? it is interesting, the head of itv has been quick. philip schofield? it is interesting, the head of itv has been quick to j the head of itv has been quick to pay tribute to all of phillip schofield's efforts over the last few years. he has been quick to say that they look forward to working with him in the future, specifically the soap awards coming up in a few weeks, and also mentioned an as yet unannounced prime—time tv series. perhaps some sort of deal has been cut, other speculation talks about the possibility that phillip schofield might take some big bucks to go to the other channels that are out there and create a new domain

once again. or, perhaps back to the west end stage where he previously triumphed asjoseph. he has options, years no longer the young presenter the broom cupboard with gordon the go far. but he has something of a fan base, and the next few weeks and months will be crucial to whether he can turn that into an enduring enterprise in the private eyes and on our screens.— enterprise in the private eyes and on our screens. gordon the gopher, that is a uk-based _ on our screens. gordon the gopher, that is a uk-based reference. - on our screens. gordon the gopher, that is a uk-based reference. howl that is a uk—based reference. how does itv go about finding a replacement. you talk about duos, how do you replace philip schofield? you want that chemistry, when they were giggling, making each other laugh spontaneously, nothing better. great telly, great ratings. that is what has fallen off the cliff. itv will be keen to replicate that. clearly, they are keeping holly as their vanguard for all of this. it'll be interesting to see who they think is the right person to sit beside her. already, contenders

include dermot o'leary, who takes place on that this morning show once a week, also, alison hammond, who stood in for philip schofield in recent weeks. fans were quick to remark on the compatibility of allison and holly willoughby. holly willoughby was very quick to garner social media and so posting pictures of alison. paraphrase a recent quote, who holly once, holly will get. quote, who holly once, holly will net. ., quote, who holly once, holly will iet_ ., ., ., quote, who holly once, holly will net. ., ., ., ., get. you go through some of the ossible get. you go through some of the possible replacements, - get. you go through some of thej possible replacements, normally daytime tv has a standard formula, one man, one woman. d—link now could be the time for a change? the one man, one woman. d-link now could be the time for a change?— be the time for a change? the years it has been — be the time for a change? the years it has been as _ be the time for a change? the years it has been as you _ be the time for a change? the years it has been as you say, _ be the time for a change? the years it has been as you say, been - be the time for a change? the years it has been as you say, been that i it has been as you say, been that formula. when it has been great it has been those married couples off—screen, who can bring relatable daily lives onto the television. people seem to warm to married couples bringing their real lives onto that so far. we believe in that chemistry. now interestingly, maybe

it is time for some girl power, some woman power, which would be holly and alison, or someone else completely. this is a chance to break the mould, to think, what audiences need at that time in the morning. we know that the itv line—up is very strong, it goes through to loose women, it is seen as a cornerstone of that schedule, they do not want those ratings to fall. they have fallen this week, i am surprised, i would have thought people wanted to queue up to watch the dirty linen being washed. people do not like tension, they want comfort, ease, and camaraderie. whoever can create that will win those ratings and those itv contracts. those ratings and those itv contracte— those ratings and those itv contracts. ., ~ , ., , . those ratings and those itv contracts. ., ~ , . ., contracts. thank you very much for “oininu contracts. thank you very much for joining us. — contracts. thank you very much for joining us, caroline _ contracts. thank you very much for joining us, caroline frost. - ukraine's president zelensky has arrived injapan where he's meeting world leaders at the g7 summit. he's said that "peace will become closer" , after the us agreed to train ukrainian pilots on american fi6

attention here, and that sends a pretty blunt message to moscow. but not everyone is a straightforward cheerleader for ukraine. not everyone is a straightforward cheerleaderfor ukraine. the indian prime minister, narendra modi has never condemned russia�*s invasion. the g7 leaders gathered for what is known as the family photo this afternoon, they will have more talks with volodymyr zelensky throughout the weekend. live now to our diplomatic correspondentjames landale in kyiv. lets start with the us supporting the provision of planes and training of pilots on f—i6s. how has that gone down with the countries in japan? gone down with the countries in ja an? ~ . ., gone down with the countries in ja an? . . ., , japan? well, much of the g7, certainly the _ japan? well, much of the g7, certainly the european - japan? well, much of the g7, certainly the european side i japan? well, much of the g7, j certainly the european side of japan? well, much of the g7, l certainly the european side of it have been pushing for this for some time. it is the americans who have been elected, saying that there is a risk of escalation. a risk of getting dragged deeper into the war. there are cost implications, too. it

is complicated, it will not be easy. it is notjust a question of handing over a weapon, it is about talking about the support crew, engineers, training, securing those airports where they can be based. so, not surprisingly, it has gone down well here in ukraine. it is something that ukraine has been asking for some time. but we are asking for something in the future, it will not be a quick fix or making a difference to the upcoming counter offence. this is a message saying that we are going to support ukraine militarily in the long term, hopefully that is heading the kremlin. , _ , hopefully that is heading the kremlin. , ., hopefully that is heading the kremlin. ., , . , kremlin. zelensky says that pieces cominu kremlin. zelensky says that pieces coming closer- _ kremlin. zelensky says that pieces coming closer. do _ kremlin. zelensky says that pieces coming closer. do you _ kremlin. zelensky says that pieces coming closer. do you see - kremlin. zelensky says that pieces coming closer. do you see signs i kremlin. zelensky says that pieces coming closer. do you see signs of that in kyiv? if that how people there think?— that in kyiv? if that how people there think? ., , ., there think? no. peace is not coming closer. we there think? no. peace is not coming closer- we are _ there think? no. peace is not coming closer. we are preparing _ there think? no. peace is not coming closer. we are preparing for- there think? no. peace is not coming closer. we are preparing for a - closer. we are preparing for a ukrainian counteroffensive. there will be more fighting, more people will be more fighting, more people will die. neitherside in

will be more fighting, more people will die. neither side in this war shows any sign of wanting to give way in any point, any prospect of talks and negotiations or any kind of political settlement only becomes possible when one of either side no longer sees any purpose, any benefit in continuing the fight. at the moment, both sides seem to want to continue that fight. we feel this every day in kyiv, almost every night, we hear and see explosions and drones coming in targeting air defences around the city. president zelensky has _ defences around the city. president zelensky has been _ defences around the city. president zelensky has been on _ defences around the city. president zelensky has been on a _ defences around the city. president | zelensky has been on a whistle-stop zelensky has been on a whistle—stop tour of europe in recent days. he is now injapan. se agreement the us fighterjets... ssv culmination of his efforts over the last few weeks? part of that, fighterjets, the family photos we saw in that report, it is about sending a signal to

moscow that the western pro ukraine alliance remains strong. but zelensky is trying to talk to those leaders who are not convinced by his argument, who are not part of that pro ukraine alliance. many arab leaders. he has also met the indian prime minister, the brazilian president injapan. these are not a synthetic audience. many of these leaders want this war to end sooner rather than later. they think that it is damaging the world economy, it is damaging their economies, many of the countries in the gulf are finding it hard to get access to ukrainian grain... so they do not support continuing this war to the point by russian forces are kicked out. those other people who president zelensky is trying to commence, saying, look, you guys need to realise that you cannot have countries going around invading other countries as happened in this and that matters to you, in africa, in the middle east, in asia, in

senior chinese diplomat, was here just a few days ago. that kyiv made very clear to him that if china is really clear about defending sovereignty and territorial integrity, which it says it is, then it should be supporting territorial integrity here in ukraine, and therefore demanding that russian forces leave. china is not doing that, it is not demanding that russian forces leave. but, i think that ukraine will continue to engage with china because it means that in the long run, whatever political settlement there is in the future, china may play a role as a guarantor of some kind of settlement because it is one of the few governments that moscow listens to. shy, it is one of the few governments that moscow listens to. a question about bakhmut. _ that moscow listens to. a question about bakhmut. the _ that moscow listens to. a question about bakhmut. the wagner- that moscow listens to. a question - about bakhmut. the wagner mercenary group have claimed to have taken control of the eastern city of bakhmut. ukraine denies that. what is the actual state of affairs? itrefoil

overfor much left of it, it has been fought over for the best part of the year. we are talking about a small sliver of territory, of ground, that ukraine either does or does not hold. but we also know that ukraine has claimed in recent days, and there�*s been independent verification of this, that ukraine has made some advances in the north and south in the outskirts of the city. so, we are at a stage where we are trying to define what is victory? is it to control a ruined city which has cost tens of thousands of russian lives? is it a victory if these russian forces, these wagner mercenary is withdraw as their leader says he is going to in five days�* time, leaving this ruined city to be defended by regular russian units? these are the questions we always ask whenever there are these claims about whether or not russian has actually taken complete control of what, as i say,

is essentially a pile of ruins. thank you very much. that is a diplomatic correspondent in kyiv. well in further news member states of the international criminal court have called the russian issued arrest warrant of the icc�*s chief prosecutor karim khan as deeply concerning and deplorable. russia�*s warrant comes two months after the icc issued an arrest warrant for president putin, who is wanted on suspicion of involvement in the war crime of unlawfully deporting ukrainian children. for the first time, sinn fein are on course to become the largest party in local government in northern ireland. the results in the local council elections come at a time of political crisis in the devolved government at stormont where the dup have been blocking a return to power—sharing. our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. a warning — her report contains flashing images.

it�*s becoming a familiar story on this island. a surge for sinn fein on an elections results day. this time last year, the party became the largest party in the devolved government at stormont. today they repeated that in the local council elections overtaking the dup. it was about a message of telling people what we were for. it was about electing hard working councillors. but for me it definitely was about positive leadership. it was about a restoration of the executive. it was about making politics work. and i�*m very glad that that has resonated with the electorate and that they have come out in such strong numbers. northern ireland�*s democratic unionists have been refusing to return to power—sharing at stormont because of their objections to the post—brexit trading arrangements. and while this election was for local councils, it was seen as people�*s first chance to send a message about the big political crisis. while the dup�*s vote largely held up, the unionist vote overall has splintered in recent years and they�*ve paid a price. there's no getting away from the fact that unionism needs to take a long, hard look at how we manage elections.

the splintering of the unionist vote, the turnout, the differential, in turnout between areas. these are issues that we do need to address, and i'm happy to sit down with my fellow unionists and examine these issues. the dup�*s refusal to re—enter power—sharing at stormont was used by sinn fein as a campaigning tool and appears to have worked. the sense that sinn fein�*s leader here, michelle o�*neill, was prevented from becoming first minister by the dup�*s boycott, has seen sinn fein picking up key votes. the centre ground alliance party, who are neither unionist nor nationalist, also made some gains and have remained the third largest party in local councils. sinn fein ultimately wants to leave the uk and create a united ireland, but they don�*t put this front and centre. the party has been trying to broaden its appeal and pick up younger voters and their strategy has been proving successful.

authorities in iran have executed three men sentenced to death in connection with the nationwide anti—government protests last year. the men were convicted over their alleged involvement in a shooting attack that killed three security personnel in isfahan in november. amnesty international says they were subjected to unfair trials and allegedly tortured. four other protesters have been hanged since december. protests were held overnight in several cities in iran in response to the latest executions and videos posted online show people chanting slogans denouncing the government as murderers. fourteen people have died and thousands have been left homeless, after heavy rains and flooding in parts of northern italy. the mayor of the city of ravenna, has told the bbc, that it�*s the worst disaster in a century. in some places people are running out of food and drinking water, with aid unable to reach them. earlier we spoke to italian journalist and author

stella levantesi, she started by giving an assessment of the stiuation there. the latest reports talk about 23 overflowing rivers, 300 landslides, and 500 disrupted or destroyed roads. over 18,000 people still without electricity. of course, agriculture has also been heavily impacted and affected. rescue efforts are still ongoing in emilia—romagna. political leaders in government have expressed their, and i quote, total closeness to the affected population, especially on twitter, and the government says it is working on approving an aid package for the region as soon as possible. however, some right—wing politicians have also been making public statements attacking climate activists and denying the link between extreme weather events and the climate crisis, and this messaging has also been echoed by some media outlets. fifteen dogs have been seized by greater manchester police investigating an attack which led to the death of a 37—year—old man near wigan.

jonathan hogg, who was described by his family as a "well—loved, sensitive, and kind person", died after suffering serious injuries in the attack. energy bills for a typical household in the uk are expected to fall by nearly £450 from july, according to new forecasts. consultancy firm cornwall insight predicts bills should fall by nearly 20 per cent under a new official price cap set to be announced by ofgem on thursday. government support has limited average household bills to £2,500 a year, but is due to be scaled back. the supply of a drug to treat symptoms of menopause is being restricted by the uk government because of shortages. pharmacists are being told to dispense only two months�* worth of capsules of utrogestan which is a form of progesterone. the order was issued by the department of health, which says it will ensure more women can continue to access the medication they need.

a masked man has climbed up a statue on the front of the bbc�*s broadcasting house in central london with a hammer and chisel. there has been a campaign to remove the statue of prospero and ariel, because the sculptor, eric gill, wrote about sexually abusing two of his daughters in his diary. it�*s the second time the 1930s work at broadcasting house has been targeted. we can see pictures now from israel, where people are protesting against proposed judicial reforms. crowds are gathering at around 150 locations across the country, with the biggest protests are taking place in tel aviv. the protest last weekend was cancelled over the threat of rocket attacks from gaza. the scale of opposition to the reforms has forced prime minister netanyahu to pause legislation to allow for a period of dialogue. that

has not deterred opponents. this is bbc news, thank you for watching. hello there. we�*ve got differing fortunes across the four home nations this weekend. have a look out of the window here in west wales, beautifully sunny, feeling lovely and warm in the sunshine in light winds. move northwards into scotland, much more layered cloud. earlier on that�*s brought some rain, that rain tending to peter out for the most part. the cloud covers scotland and northern ireland and we�*re starting to see something a little bit wetter coming into the far north—west. underneath that cloud, temperatures are going to be around 16 or 17, could be a touch warmer as it brightens up in the moray firth, but in the sunshine across england and wales, temperatures reaching 20 or 21 in the west, a little cooler around some north sea coasts. i mentioned some rain coming into the north—west and this

evening and overnight, it gets a bit wetter for a while in scotland and northern ireland before the rain tends to peter out. could see a bit of mist, fog and low cloud again across eastern areas of england, and with clearer skies in england and wales, temperatures could be as low as four or five degrees. let�*s set the scene for sunday and we�*ve got high pressure extending across the uk. that weather front bringing the rain overnight gets stuck in scotland and just peters out. a bit more of an east or north—easterly breeze could drag in some cloud from off the north sea, particularly into the south—east of england. there will be some sunshine around as well. still that cloud for much of scotland and northern ireland, not much rain falling, though by the afternoon and in the far north—west, there could actually be some sunshine. not necessarily going to help the temperatures, mind you. may well be a little bit cooler in scotland and northern ireland on sunday. still, the warm sunshine for england and wales and those temperatures reaching 20 or 21 celsius. into next week, not too much changes really, you�*ve still got the high pressure around on monday. another weakening weather front moves in from the atlantic, bringing very little rain.

following that, the odd shower perhaps for western scotland, perhaps northern ireland but on the whole, a lot of dry weather. plenty of sunshine for england and wales, maybe a slightly more northerly breeze on monday but those temperatures changing very little, 17 to 20 celsius. and that weather pattern continues into next week. again, high pressure is never too far away. it�*s going to be in the far north that we could see some weather fronts now and again and a stronger breeze that maybe will bring some rain. but on the whole, a lot of dry weather into next week and those temperatures are near average as well.

this is bbc news. the headlines... the veteran british tv presenter philip schofield says he�*s agreed to step down from my tv�*s programme with immediate effect after more than 20 years. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky meets uk prime minister, rishi sunak, at the g7 summit injapan after landing, zelinski tweeted that peace will be closer as a result of his meetings. russia hits back at a deal to supply ukraine with f—16 fighter russia hits back at a deal to supply ukraine with f—16fighterjet russia hits back at a deal to supply ukraine with f—16 fighter jet saying it is fraught with massive risks for the west and that claims that the notorious wagoner group that document is now under russian control. in northern ireland, republican political party, sinn fein, is on track to become the
