viniciusjuniorforfailing to engage with the league when asked to discuss the issue and his experiences to have made a statement like that tells us, _ to have made a statement like that tells us, really, the scale of the problem — tells us, really, the scale of the problem that we face because the administrators themselves, the leaders — administrators themselves, the leaders themselves don't understand what their— leaders themselves don't understand what their responsibilities are and how they— what their responsibilities are and how they need to be moving forward to tackle _ how they need to be moving forward to tackle these issues. he has received — to tackle these issues. he has received the gamut of racial abuse this season and, really, it seems that nobody in spain knows how to deal with_ that nobody in spain knows how to deal with this or, indeed, how to make _ deal with this or, indeed, how to make a _ deal with this or, indeed, how to make a statement that doesn't blame him. there's one game in the premier league this evening with quite a bit at stake. newcastle united can secure champions league football, leicester city can move out of the bottom three. eddie howe's side will be sure of a top four finish with just a point at st. james' park while a win for leicester would move them out of the relagation zone on goal difference, defeat would all but end

their stay in the top division.. they are 19th, three points from safety . victory would see them move above leeds and everton i think we made it difficult, you know, for teams early in back to that, we had to beat first and foremost but sure qualities we get the ball. we got the fantastic head coach who i was coming up against in ligue one, eight, nine, ten years ago so a lot of respect for eddie and what he's done there but we only have to concentrate on this game. this is a cup final now and we know we to do. brooks koepka says "it's a huge thing for liv" that he has become the first player from the breakaway golf tour to win a major title. he won the us pga championship

at oak hill on sunday, his fifth major but his first since defecting to the series last year. he finished on 9 under, 2 clear of viktor hovland and scottie scheffler. zachjohnson, the us ryder cup captain, now has a tricky decision to make regarding his team for this year's competition, with liv golfers barred from regular pga tour events. koepka was one of three rebel golfers in the top 10 of the us pga. the liv commissioner says his coffers now belong. lots more on that on the bbc sports website. and that's all the sport for now. now we can turn to the political crisis in pakistan for the rest of the ten days ago for the form by mr imran khan that prompted his supporters to take to the streets, even entering the army headquarters compound amid unprecedented anger publicly expressed against the powerful army. imran khan has been speaking to the bbc�*s mishal hussain — about the instability

in his country, and his arrest earlier this month. the way to bring stability to pakistan is free and fair elections. what free and fair elections would do is they would bring political stability, and once you have political stability, only then can you bring economic stability. right now, because there is a political instability, no one knows where the country is going. people are not even sure the elections will be held on time. already, the government has violated the constitution. the two provincial assembly elections were supposed to be held in punjab and pakhtunhwa — that's 70% of pakistan. they were supposed to be held on the 14th of may, so the government has already violated the constitution. the reason being, they are scared that my party, pti, is so ahead

in the polls that they are scared they will lose, so they have violated the constitution. now, worry right now is they won't even hold the elections in october. general elections scheduled for october in time. live now to our pakistan correspondent, umer draz nangiana in islamabad. he has been monitoring looking at the interview imran khan gave to the bbc. on that particular claim, just take us through what the prime minister —— the former finalist was saying and the truth of those claims. if you look at the events set up by the supreme court of pakistan in the province of punjab it does seem that the government authorities have been using delaying tactic takes and avoiding the election being held on that day. the leral election being held on that day. tue: legal batter election being held on that day. tt;e: legal batter of election being held on that day. "tt9: legal batter of the election being held on that day. tt9:

legal batter of the supreme election being held on that day. tt9 legal batter of the supreme court is still going on but on the other hand the government have said that mr khan himself created the political instability he talked about by dissolving government in provinces where his party was in power. and they blame mr khan for the instability that insured. and if we look at his other claim of his party being so popular, we do not have any surveys or polls at the moment which are authentic that would suggest that if elections are held to date his party is ahead and his party will win the elections. —— held today. they are a couple of surveys but... so for that we do not know which party is at the moment if we look at the trends his party definitely very popular ahead of the other parties his party would be in a better position in the elections if they were held in this time or in

the nearfuture. on the if they were held in this time or in the near future. on the other hand political analysts in pakistan believe the instability of the country is facing right now could be safe if mr khan himself had not dissolved the provincial assemblies where his party was in power and coming to the question of why the government is using the delaying tactics, the political analysts believe that it could indeed be the fear of the popularity of mr khan and his party that is putting the government to delaying tactics. star; government to delaying tactics. stay there, government to delaying tactics. stay there. because _ government to delaying tactics. stay there, because i _ government to delaying tactics. stay there, because ijust want to play for the another part of that same interview where imran khan claimed that some of the violence that we've seenin that some of the violence that we've seen in the last ten days or so was actually planted.— actually planted. have a listen. as far as we know, _ actually planted. have a listen. as far as we know, all— actually planted. have a listen. as far as we know, all our— actually planted. have a listen. as far as we know, all our leaders - actually planted. have a listen. as| far as we know, all our leaders said it had to be peaceful protests but, unfortunately, and any investigation will reveal, that there were

elements that were planted inside which went out of their way to burn government buildings and we... we are convinced that this was deliberately done because that was used to bend to have a crackdown. now, overi0,000 used to bend to have a crackdown. now, over 10,000 of our supporters are injail on this pretext now, over 10,000 of our supporters are in jail on this pretext that there was violence. and notice that my entire political leadership is in jail. my entire political leadership is in 'ail., , , my entire political leadership is in “ail. , , :, ., . ., jail. just in terms of that claim, that some _ jail. just in terms of that claim, that some of — jail. just in terms of that claim, that some of the _ jail. just in terms of that claim, that some of the violence - jail. just in terms of that claim, that some of the violence was i that some of the violence was planned and planted, what you make of that? ~ ~ :, ., , planned and planted, what you make of that? 9 ~ :, ., , , of that? well, mr khan has been makin: of that? well, mr khan has been making these — of that? well, mr khan has been making these claims _ of that? well, mr khan has been making these claims over - of that? well, mr khan has been making these claims over the . of that? well, mr khan has been i making these claims over the past few days but he has not presented any evidence to support that. what we have heard from the authorities is that they have only crackdown on the elements which they term as miscreants and in some instances even categorise them as terrorists. they said that with the help of video footage and geo— fencing they

have been able to crack down on those elements who were present at the time of the protests in a certain area and they have only arrested those elements. they have not categorically characterised them as pti workers. generally, they have talked about it but they have not categorise them as pti workers. on the other hand, mr khan has been saying that he has distanced himself from those elements and he says his party workers have been arrested. so far we are not able to verify if the numbers in the 10,000 because of the police have conveyed, they have only arrested around 3000 people from the province of punjab and similarly some 3000 people from khyber pakhtunkhwa as well but this number of 10,000 cannot also be verified. as for saying there were planted elements, he has not been able to provide any evidence for support. we will leave it there. thank you for taking us through the claims and counter claims coming through that interview with imran khan. the

latest fairlie from islam about. around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. —— the latest bare live from islamabad. it's a mix of theatre, athleticism and high drama. for arthur byrne, wrestling is his life and his passion — but it wasn't always like this. # i can show you the world... # here he is at the age of ten, auditioning for oliver on i'd do anything on bbc one. his stage career took him to some big shows. it's hard to appreciate something like that when you're child because it's such a massive thing to happen. that's when i really appreciate it, is when i tell other people what i did when i was younger and they go, "what?" at 18, arthur realised theatre wasn't for him, so he moved hundreds of miles to glasgow to chase his wrestling dreams instead. now, as a big name in the scottish scene, he's also competed in 15 countries around the world. despite all this, he'd never

wrestled in front of a home crowd until an invite to appear at pro wrestling chaos�*s show a few minutes from his home. and the first thing he did after winning his match on home turf? giving his mum a big, sweaty hug, of course. ben thompson with business. we have a fine sedating investigation into the rigging of interest rates at the heart of the financial crisis. evidence has emerged that uk and us regulators were informed of an international, state—led drive to manipulate interest rates in the 2008 financial crisis — but covered it up. this morning the times newspaper and the bbc publish quotes from a previously secret interview with a barclays cash trader who gave evidence of moves by central banks and the uk government to artificially push down the benchmark interest rates — libor and euribor. that evidence was withheld from parliament and from jurors in criminal trials of traders for manipulating interest rates. regulators say they've met their disclosure obligations. our economics correspondent andy verity led the investigation and told me about the significance of libor and euribor.

when you hear about interest rates, whether it's on your mortgage or your personal loan, actually, they're not based on those central bank interest rates that us business hacks obsess about — they're actually based on how much it cost banks to borrow cash on international money markets, and libor and euribor keep track of those. the way they do that? every morning, banks are asked a question — at what interest rate could you borrow cash? they give their answers. hsbc may say 3.53, rbs might say 3.56, citigroup 3.511. they take an average of all those and you get an average interest rate, which is liborfor sterling or dollars and euribor for euros. now, banks have been fined $9 billion since 2012 for manipulating libor and euribor. but we're used to thinking of this

as to do with traders making requests for libor or euribor to go up or down when their banks make their estimates. what we're less used to hearing about is a whole other story that years of investigation have uncovered. audio recordings and various other material reveals that central banks and governments were involved in trying to push libor and euribor down during the 2008 financial crisis. you might say, "well, that's history," and 2019, 37, traders were prosecuted for rigging libor and euribor, but the juries in their trials never got to hear evidence like this audio. this phone call between a barclays executive, mark dearlove, instructing peterjohnson, a cash trader at barclays, to lower his libors — on instructions from above. have a listen. the bottom line is you're going to absolutely hate this, and i've spoken to spence about it as well, but we've had some very serious

pressure from the uk government and the bank of england about pushing our libors lower. can i have the pricing? pj, i'm on your side 100%. these guys don't see it. they're bent out of shape. they're calling everybody from diamond to varley to... our colleague hasjust told us he's going to be getting a call- from the ecb telling him - to put his libors lower as well. what have the regulators and the central bank said about all of this? well, no national central bank wanted to comment back, but the european central bank told us they strongly rebutted the claims in the report, which they say misrepresent the role of central banks. the uk treasury said they didn't seek to influence individual banks, libor submissions and the uk regulator, the fca said it had

met its disclosure obligations. the fbi and the us department ofjustice, who were told all this and didn't disclose it to the public, declined to comment. facebook�*s owner, meta, has been fined $1.3 billion dollars for mishandling people's data when transferring it between europe and the united states. the fine — issued by ireland's data protection commission — is the regulator's largest—ever imposed under the eu's general data protection regulation privacy law. gdpr rules require companies to seek people's consent before using their personal data. meta says it will appeal against the ruling. our technology reporter shiona mccallum told me about the issues that lie at the heart of this ruling. gdpr, it's something that affects us all when we're on the internet, it's all about consent and where our data is going, and, you know, includes everything from e—mails, so this is a significant ruling today. what we are seeing is the communication of data between europe and the us being scrutinised, and this all comes down to something known as a standard contractual clause. now, this is what facebook and many other companies use to ensure that the privacy, the gdpr standards, are also on the other side, so when the information leaves europeans and lands up in the us, that people are still protected by similar standards.

now, what's happened here is that they've said that the various things, the nuts and bolts that need to go into making sure that that contract is adhered to properly hasn't been done by meta, and that's why the fine has been issued. and they say that, basically, the information in the us that has been transferred from the europeans could be under threat — for example, infiltrated by the us intelligence service — so that's something that is of grave importance and, of course, that fine today being significant and will probably have ramifications as well. significant, as you said, ireland's, the ireland data protection commission's largest ever fine. what has meta said about all of this? meta's said that they are disappointed. they've pointed that a lot of other companies also use these standard contractual clauses and they said that they've been

made an example of. the president, nick clegg, said this decision is flawed, unjustified and sets a dangerous precedent. and, of course, they will be contesting it. they will be appealing it and, you know, at the moment, of course, the fine doesn't need to be paid straightaway. you know, won't see any difference for people using facebook. they'll have a grace period to appeal this decision and that's what we expect in the coming months. in other news.... credit suisse staff are preparing to sue swiss financial regulators over lost bonuses — that's according to the financial times. $400 million worth of bonuses linked were cancelled after the bank was taken over by ubs. two law firms have reportedly received multiple requests from senior managers at credit suisse, to take legal action. credit suisse declined to comment. the uk has reduced its stake in natwest bank to just under a0%. it announced earlier that it

sold shares worth just over £1.25 billion — or about $1.6 billion dollars. the bank itself was the buyer, seeking a path towards full privatisation. the british government took a majority stake in the bank, known at the time as the royal bank of scotland, at the height of the 2008 financial crisis. us presidentjoe biden — fresh from the g7 meeting injapan — will meet with house republican speaker kevin mccarthy to discuss the impasse over government borrowing. staff members from both sides reconvened at mccarthy's office in the capitol on sunday evening for talks that lasted about two and a half hours. without a deal, there are repeated warnings that the us treasury could run out of money as early as next week. india has begun the process of withdrawing its 2,000 rupee bank note from circulation — leading to an increase in gold buying as people look for another way to save. the 2,000 ruppee note — india's highest denomination note — will be fully retired at the end of september, a timescale that is hoped to avoid the economic slowdown caused by the overnight removal of banknotes in 2016.

much more businesses in the bbc website. you're watching bbc news. then, thank you very much. we cannot enter that political story dominating here in the uk. uk home secretary, one of the most seniorfigures in rishi sunak�*s government has rejected suggestions she behaved inappropriately after she was caught speeding in her car. suella braverman asked the civil service for advice on arranging a private speed awareness course, which could have meant avoiding further penalties. a government source denied her actions broke the ministerial code — but mr sunak has asked his ethics adviser to look into the case. in an interview this morning, ms braverman was challenged over her actions.

did you ask civil servants last year to arrange a one—on—one driving awareness course when you were caught for speeding? it's a pretty yes or no question. well, first and foremost, i'm focused on the priorities for the british people as home secretary. that's cutting serious crime with more police officers. that's standing up for victims of child sexual abuse. it's about stopping the boats. and i'm not going to take a backward step from working on those issues. i regret that, i paid the fine and i took the points. but we're focused now on delivering for the british people and working for them. did you ask civil servants to put you on a one—on—one speeding course? in relation to the process, i'm focused on delivering for the british people, doing myjob as home secretary. would you... what i will say is that in my view, i'm confident that nothing untoward has happened. would you welcome an investigation into this? have you spoken to the prime minister? would you welcome one? as i say, i'm focused on working as home secretary. that's why i'm here. i've met with victims today. i'm making a big announcement today. i'd appreciate the focus on an

announcement which is standing up for victims and survivors. in relation to the speeding ticket, and my fine and points, i'm very confident. just very, very finally on this, but this is really important because you've broken rules before. you've had to resign for breaking the ministerial code. you've admitted now to to breaking or having a speeding fine. you've been accused of breaking the code for a second time. how good a look is it for a senior politician, one of the most senior politicians in the country, to be viewed as a constant rulebrea ker? i got a speeding ticket. i paid the fine. i took the points. in my view, nothing untoward has happened. thank you. well, that was suella braverman talking a little earlier. the labour leader keir starmer, well, he has called for an investigation into the home secretary.— called for an investigation into the home secretary. have a listen. well, the ministerial— home secretary. have a listen. well, the ministerial code _ home secretary. have a listen. well, the ministerial code is _ home secretary. have a listen. well, the ministerial code is pretty - home secretary. have a listen. well, the ministerial code is pretty clear. the ministerial code is pretty clear that if you break it you are supposed to go but i don't want to get ahead of myself because i think firstly i don't know all of the facts. i don't think anybody knows all the facts. it looks as if some of the facts are still emerging so i think the right thing to do as a

proper investigation of the prime minister needs to meet his ethics adviser. he says he's going to do that. he needs say to him. he needs to do an investigation. sustainability is the key theme at the chelsea shall serve. there are also more women exhibitors than ever before and for the first time a wedding. we have more. for perhaps the first time, a chelsea wedding. on the garden he created, designer manoj married his partner. created, designer mano' married his artner. :, created, designer mano' married his artner. ., :, ., , partner. there are now legally united in marriage. _ partner. there are now legally - united in marriage. congratulations. the carden united in marriage. congratulations. the garden of _ united in marriage. congratulations. the garden of unity _ united in marriage. congratulations. the garden of unity had _ united in marriage. congratulations. the garden of unity had been - the garden of unity had been designed as a garden for everyone. whether you are, wherever you're from. :, :, ~' whether you are, wherever you're from. ., �* . .,

where you get to see some sunshine and it is going to be largely dry. but it certainly hasn't been wall to wall sunshine everywhere so far today. this was suffolk earlier on with quite a lot of cloud in the sky, that cloud across some central and eastern parts of england has been producing the odd spot of drizzle. there should be a bit more brightness here towards the end of the day. we've also got this stripe of cloud pushing southwards across southern scotland, northern england, that could generate the odd shower. the highest temperatures across parts of the west midlands, south east wales and south west england up to 22 or 23 degrees. tonight, it will be predominantly dry with clear spells and variable amounts of cloud, perhaps more generally cloudy weather rolling into northern ireland and western scotland later in the night. a little bit chilly for some of us. one or two places down to around four or five degrees. but the weather this week dominated by this big egg—shaped area of high pressure extending in from the atlantic. that's going to keep things largely dry. the winds coming in around the top of that area of high pressure,

not a particularly warm wind direction, but not feeling too bad where you get some sunshine. there will be some spells of sunshine tomorrow, perhaps the best of that across england and wales, a bit more cloud for northern ireland and scotland, maybe just squeezing out to the odd spot of drizzle in places. now, temperatures just a touch down on today's values for many of us. but regardless of the temperatures, if you have sunshine overhead, uv levels moderate or high. so do protect yourself if you're out for any length of time. now into wednesday, we will see a frontal system pushing southwards across scotland and northern ireland. a very weak affair, a little bit of rain, certainly an area of clouds. to the south of that, some sunny spells for england and wales and a slightly warmer day again, highs of around 20, 21 degrees, always a little bit cooler across the northwest of scotland. now, later in the week, our area of high pressure is expected to move eastwards. that will keep things largely dry, depending on the exact shape of this high, the exact positioning of the high. well, we may start to tap

into some slightly warmer air from the south east. that is open to question. but there are signs that through the end of the week and into the weekend, it could turn a little bit warmerfor some of us. not a heat wave, but feeling pleasant in the sunshine.
