following two teenage boys just moments before they were killed yesterday when the bike they were riding was involved in a collision in cardiff. a riot broke out afterwards with up to 150 people involved. after 16—year—old kyrees sullivan and 15—year—old harvey evans died, the south wales police and crime commissioner denied reports on social media that the police had been chasing the boys. tonight the police say they are aware of the cctv and their investigation is ongoing but refused to take questions from reporters. our wales correspondent tomos morgan is in cardiff for us tonight. tomos, this footage hasjust emerged and there are a lot of questions tonight. there are a lot of questions, especially in this area. when we arrived here this morning there was dismay from the residence on this street because so much of their property had been damaged by the riot that happened last night and the rumours were rife, rumours that the rumours were rife, rumours that the police had in some way been involved in the deaths of the two boys that happened hours before the

riot began here in cardiff. as you mentioned, new footage has now come to life which seems to question the version of events given by the police in the run—up to the two teenagers�* deaths yesterday. this footage obtained by the bbc raises questions about south wales police�*s version of events last night. it appears to show two teenage boys on an electric bike being chased by the police in ely, cardiff. minutes later, 16—year—old kyrees sullivan and 15—year—old harvey evans were killed in a road collision nearby. a few hours after their deaths, cars were set on fire and riot police were deployed as an angry crowd had gathered, hurling missiles at officers and smashing vehicles. emotions were running high. but earlier today on bbc radio 4, south wales�*s police and crime commissioner had denied that a chase had taken place at all. it would appear that there were rumours, and those rumours

became rife of a police chase, which wasn�*t the case. a statement by local law enforcement had said the collision happened before officers arrived. this new footage, though, seems to suggest police were pursuing the boys. we have received cctv footage which shows a police vehicle following a bike just prior to shows a police vehicle following a bikejust prior to 6pm. this shows a police vehicle following a bike just prior to 6pm. this footage is being recovered as part of the investigation and will assist us in piecing together the circumstances leading up to the collision. the families are being kept up—to—date. after the police statement, they refused to take questions on the video footage obtained by the bbc. why were we not told that this morning, chief superintendent? why did you not explain that this morning?— did you not explain that this mornin: ? ~ , ,, ., . did you not explain that this morninu? ~ , ., . ., morning? why did your police and crime commissioner _ morning? why did your police and crime commissioner say - morning? why did your police and. crime commissioner say something completely different, officer? our

people— completely different, officer? our people safe in cardiff this evening, officer? _ this morning, the remains of a bonfire were still smoking in the middle of the road when we arrived. around it, vehicles lay in ruin, debris everywhere. residents say that those that caused this damage don�*t actually live on this street and the people living here are shocked and angry that this has happened right outside their doors. why are you taking out, you know, people in the street? why run amok, you know? itjust doesn�*t make sense. ijust... you know, i despair... this street is one of the best streets. the people, we are all so close as neighbours, and this has happened. kyrees sullivan and harvey evans died shortly after 6pm. due to the violence witnessed here in ely last night after the deaths of the two young boys, many local residents have told us they don�*t want to talk officially on camera in fear of repercussions.

the investigation into the disruption seen across ely last night — one of wales�*s most deprived areas — continues, as does the work to decipher how and why two boys died after being involved in a chase with the police. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. as we�*ve seen, new cctv footage appears to show south wales police following the two boys moments before they were killed — despite denials of a police chase by the local police and crime commissioner. bbc verify — a new bbc service that brings together 60 journalists with a range of forensic and investigative skills — has been analysing how the footage came to light and how the bbc managed to establish exactly what it shows, where and when. here�*s jake horton. this cctv video sent to bbc verify shows a police van following two people on an electric bike. we verified it as being taken outside a house on frank road in ely, less than a mile from where the reported crash happened. the timestamp on the video says 17:59, just minutes before the police confirmed

the crash as happening. in another still of the video we�*ve taken here and blurred out, you can see two people lying on the ground as they are given cpr. it�*s not immediately clear what happened just before the crash, but what is clear is rumours quickly began to spread online. in one facebook post here, you can see someone posting, saying, "two boys were killed tonight on their scooters after being chased by police. the boys got knocked over by a bus." the police said they arrived on the scene after the crash happened but this didn�*t stop violent scenes on the streets of ely last night. we verified several videos showing a car being burnt out and people throwing projectiles at the police as they tried to push protestors back. this was the scene on snowden road this morning and questions still remain about the sequence of events which led to two teenage boys dying last night. jake horton there. let�*s return to cardiff and tomos morgan.

there are worries about what might happen tonight? a lot of people are out questioning what happened last night and the process. ely has had a reputation over the years in the community, notably 30 years ago when the ely riot took place here, violence took place, and it took a number of years for the community to get rid of that reputation. it also has a reputation as a close—knit working class community and you saw that, and i have seen it as the day has gone on here, with flowers laid on the streetjust here, with flowers laid on the street just over there where here, with flowers laid on the streetjust over there where the fatalities took place. earlier today, friends and families have come together to grieve together. people have also spoken about a distrust in law enforcement and the police, and the way things have transpired today, i don�*t think that will have helped certain things. this morning south wales police had not referred themselves to the iopc, the independent 0ffice not referred themselves to the iopc, the independent office for police conduct. but tonight after they had this statement and after bbc said

they had new footage, they have referred themselves. so there will be discussed and anxious voices again here tonight because they will want answers. there will be sympathy for the families and residents here after what has been a very difficult 24 after what has been a very difficult 2a hours. after what has been a very difficult 24 hours. ., w after what has been a very difficult 24 hours. ., , a, ., ., , 24 hours. tomos morgan in cardiff, thank yom — in portugal police officers have started digging near a reservoir they are searching in connection with the disappearance of madeleine mccann. the area is about 30 miles from where the three—year—old vanished during a family holiday in 2007. the operation is being led by german police — who have named christian brueckner as their main suspect. the 45—year—old sex offender is currently serving a prison sentence for raping a woman in the same area. 0ur correspondent daniel sandford is there. all day we have been watching police teams scouring the banks of this reservoir some 30 miles away from where madeleine mccann went missing. for much of the day the weather was good but as you can see this evening

it has turned much worse. we have been watching police officers using dogs, boats, posts, to search through the undergrowth, and all of it is another attempt to find out what happened to madeleine mccann 16 years ago. working methodically through the undergrowth, probing for anything that could provide a clue to what happened to madeleine mccann. german and portuguese police officers, with british police in attendance, searching the edge of a reservoir in the algarve. this was a planned operation that also involved dogs and a rigid hull inflatable boat, and it is expected to run into a second day tomorrow. that promontory, which has been the focus of the search, has a car park and impromptu campsite on it, and what the police have been doing is searching down from the car park to the edge of the water. madeleine mccann vanished from a holiday apartment 30 miles away in may 2007, just a few days before her fourth birthday. it�*s become one of the most infamous

missing persons cases. her parents, kate and gerry mccann, have never given up hope of finding her alive. earlier this month they released a simple statement. "the police investigation continues and we await a breakthrough." that investigation has led to the arade reservoir because the main suspect was a regular at the impromptu campsite. he is christian brueckner, a german man currently serving a prison sentence for rape. it is german prosecutors who are leading this investigation. they�*ve not charged brueckner and he�*s denied any involvement in madeleine mccann�*s disappearance. the prosecutor said today�*s search was based on intelligence. "you can imagine we don�*t start searching somewhere in portugal on the off chance," he said. "there must be a good reason for it. we do have one, but i ask you for understanding that i cannot disclose it for tactical reasons." madeleine mccann vanished from a holiday apartment in praia da luz in may 2007.

the arade reservoir where the search is taking place, is about 30 miles away. police are focusing on a car park and impromptu campsite on a small peninsular on the west side of the lake. jim gamble, who was head of the child exploitation and 0nline protection centre and was involved in the original madeleine mccann investigation, hopes the search will be significant. given the portuguese police are supporting and facilitating this search, then i think it�*s reasonable to be hopeful twofold. 0ne search, then i think it�*s reasonable to be hopeful twofold. one is that the german police are continuing at pace and they are not taking off the pressure and they are continuing to invest resource. and number two, at some stage there has got to be a breakthrough. but madeleine mccann vanished 16 years ago, so the chances of proving what happened to her must now be limited. daniel sandford, bbc news at the arade dam. rolf harris — who was jailed for a series of indecent assaults on girls —

has died aged 93. he was found guilty of a string of offences between 1968 and 1986 and was behind bars for more than five years. before his crimes came to light, he was a fixture of family entertainment in britain. he died almost two weeks ago from cancer, six years after he was released from prison. he never apologised to his victims. david sillito reports. reporter: rolf, anyl word for your victims? rolf harris, an entertainer for more than 50 years, who was revealed to be a serial sex offender. this, the final day of his trial in 2014. why won't you apologise, mr harris? his bag already packed for prison. # waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda... he�*d arrived in britain from australia in the �*50s, an art student who made his name in television, singing, joking, painting. the rolf harris show, rolf�*s cartoon time, animal hospital, rolf on art. when a poll was carried

out in the �*90s asking for the name of an artist, rolf harris was at the top. he was for decades a part of childhood entertainment, a man who appeared to be a jovial, sentimental innocent. he performed at glastonbury to an audience who treated him as a national treasure. and then came his conviction for a string of sexual assaults against women and young girls. the announcement of his death from cancer comes nine years after he was jailed. the family statement says he died 13 days ago and there will be no further comment. for the women he abused, a reminder that it was only in the aftermath of thejimmy savile scandal that they felt they could come forward and be believed. and from rolf harris throughout it all, no apology, no remorse. david sillito, bbc news.

our top story this evening: after the riots in cardiff last night, footage emerges which appears to show a police van following two boys moments before they were crashed and killed. and still to come — a bbc investigation into vapes used by teenagers finds they contain potentially severely harmful levels of lead and nickel. also in this hour: a former met police officer�*s found guilty of gross misconduct coming up in sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news, we�*ll have the latest from roland—garros and qualifying for the french open. that starts on sunday. there are still plenty of british players in contention for a place in the main draw. the government has announced new immigration rules that prevent some overseas students bringing dependants to the uk. it will mean foreign postgraduate students can no longer bring family members with them — unless they are studying on specific research programmes. the announcement has been made two days before official statistics are expected to show net legal migration has hit a record

700,000 this year. our home editor mark easton reports. lights, a front room in the west midlands, camera, a youtuber helping nigerians come to britain, and action! hi, guys. welcome back to my youtube channel. it�*s your boy... among his hundreds of videos are guides on how to get a student visa to come to the uk. because there�*s new information regarding the student route to the uk. last year, a fifth of international student visas were issued to nigerians, 120,000 people in total — half of them students, half their dependents. but he believes many are actually coming not for a new qualification so much as a new life. so the student thing is not really... it�*s not like they need the degrees. they need the degree as an access route to come into the country. so a lot of these people get their priorities shifted real fast. so it�*s really about getting into the uk. exactly!

and then to stay here with a job hopefully. it�*s not really about the education. nigerians have a word for what�*s going on here, "japa" — escape, doing whatever it takes to leave nigeria and start a new life somewhere more prosperous. and japa may explain why the shropshire town of telford, with its university of wolverhampton student campus, now has more than 300 nigerian residents. among those is this man, who�*s paying £15,000 for a masters engineering course in telford. he is frank about his hope that being in britain as a student will make it easier for him to stay and work. did you come because you wanted to improve your education or because you wanted a new life in britain? me studying provides an opportunity to also probably work in the uk. so stay here, make your life here, potentially? it's a lot easier. yeah, make better life basically. telford is a predominantly white english town in a rural shropshire, but it�*s become significantly more

diverse in the last decade, largely as a consequence of international migration. sometimes it doesn't i feel like i'm in england sometimes because, like, there's all different - cultures everywhere. they�*re just human like us, just obviously a different colour. 680,000 foreign students studied in the uk last year. 315,000 of them did a masters at a british university and would be banned from bringing their dependents under government plans. we don�*t know exactly how many masters students�* dependents are in britain today, but they make up the vast majority of the 136,000 issued with dependent visas. in the university canteen in telford, there was disappointment at the idea of discouraging fee—paying foreign students from coming to shropshire. when students are studying, they need their dependents near them. it's a support network. and where students are here and they've got their support network, they're more likely to succeed. so i do feel it's incredibly important we offer those people opportunities as well. there�*s another reason why today�*s announcement may not have the impact the home office says it seeks.

most masters students and their dependents only come for nine months or so during term time, too short to appear in the long—term net migration statistics. mark easton, bbc news, telford. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is in westminster. we are expecting these record net immigration figures coming out later this week, is this the government trying to show it is taking some kind of control of the situation? fix, kind of control of the situation? phrase that sometimes used here at westminster is getting your retaliation in first, in other words, don�*t wait for a political kicking, get on the front foot. so with those record migration figures due to be unveiled on thursday, today the announcement of dependent visas is supposed to signal a willingness by the government to get figures down. but rishi sunak still has a political problem because i think many people who voted for brexit may feel they are not taking back control while migration numbers are now higher than they were while we were in the year. according to

2019 conservative manifesto also promised to bring figures down, they have in fact more than doubled, and there is restlessness in rishi sunak�*s rags. so for example mps close to the home secretary, suella braverman, have been telling me that left to her own devices she would have been more radical on net migration, for example, limiting further the amount of time graduates could spend in the uk or perhaps upping the requirements for salaries for people who want to come and work in the uk. so government ministers are confident they will get numbers down but probably not the levels that were promised by the conservatives at the last election. the man who murdered seven—year—old nikki allan more than 30 years ago has been sentenced to at least 29 years injail. david boyd was convicted earlier this month after years of campaigning by nikki�*s family. her mother, sharon henderson, said herfight forjustice for her daughter had wrecked her health and that the case was never taken seriously. the imf says the uk economy

is expected to avoid a recession this year after it sharply upgraded its growth forecast. previously it had forecast the uk would be in recession. but the imf said inflation "remains stubbornly high" and that higher interest rates will need to remain in place if it is to be brought down. let�*s talk to our economics editor faisal islam. what are we to make of this? first of all, we would be in recession, now we will not be. what strange? this is an upgrade from the imf, and as a consequence because the imf had anticipated in the uk would be the slowest growing this year of the g7 major economies, that is no longer the case. germany is due to have zero growth if the forecast is right this year. but in an of itself it�*s still pretty sluggish. however, given where we had been six months ago during the mini budget crisis, the energy crisis, the aftermath of the energy crisis, the aftermath of the pandemic, we no longer anticipating a recession, let alone

anticipating a recession, let alone a long recession. there are couple of reasons for that, the energy prices have of course followed in the international market. we have also had the government�*s northern ireland brexit deal which has helped confidence, say the imf. and there has also been better news elsewhere in the economy. but the imf does sound a warning sign about inflation, and we anticipate tomorrow morning that inflation will start to come down quite shortly, but it says this is not a cause for premature celebration because there are concerns about the stickiness of inflation, particularly in food prices, and they feel that interest rates may have to stay higher for longer. rates may have to stay higher for loner. . ~' ,, one of britain�*s top doctors says she�*s shocked by the findings of a bbc investigation into the contents of illegal vapes used by teenagers. a study of vapes confiscated from a school found some contained two times the safe amount of lead, six times the safe amount of chromium and nine times the safe amount of nickel. the bbc has been told they could cause severe health problems. 0ur health editor hugh pym reports.

still works. leon finds a vape he once used. i'll i�*ll get it back. it�*s fine. it was confiscated along with others at his school. a lemon and lime. it�*s nice. but there was more than flavourings in the vapes when we sent them to be tested. this device was found to have high levels of lead, nickel and chromium. this lab tests vapes to find out if they meet quality standards. in 15 years of testing, i don't think we've ever seen lead content like this in vape products. these metals are usually present in the heating element itself. we've extracted the e—liquid to determine the metals content, so there's a chance that the liquid itself has been reacting with the metal to cause leaching of those metals. we don't normally see that coming out into the e—liquid. this device was found to have high levels of lead... we took the lab results back to the school. areas of particular concern with the levels found being unsafe. despite this, the boys say it�*s easy to ignore the risks. i didn�*t know there was lead in it, and you won�*t really care

if you�*re addicted to it. it�*s just, you won�*t think about it. you�*ll just forget about it. the law should be doing something about them, but they're just taking their time. they're not really as bothered as they should be. it�*s illegal to sell vapes to under—18s, yet leon and oscar can get them easily. i get mine from shops. walk in, ask them what flavour you want and they pass it to you, give them your money, walk back out. i get it from a few places. cos you mentioned online, and you can do that, but that's what a lot of dealers do. they deal from, like, their house or get on like a mini—scooter and go and deliver it to you. so that's how they usually get theirs. if children are starting. to understand that route of purchasing, then they'll - understand how they could access other illegal substances, and that's a really, - really big concern to me. we showed our findings about the metals to a leading medical expert. i�*m genuinely shocked. this is serious. they slow down the way the brain makes connections, so people learn less quickly. it literally slows the brain down,

and that�*s so damaging at a time when the brain should be expanding very rapidly and people are developing. the government�*s recently announced £3 million in funding in england to tackle the sale of illegal vapes, but the head says stronger health warnings are needed. i think as a society we are capable of holding two messages — - one that says if you smoke already, vaping can have a positive - impact on your health, | but our children should not be vaping. it�*s clear our results have shone new light on the issue of vaping and the risks to children�*s health. hugh pym, bbc news, kidderminster. it holds the national collection of british art, and today tate britain has unveiled an entirely new presentation of more than 800 works. the aim — to tell the story of british art from 1545 to now in way that reflects what it describes as "revolutionary changes" over this time. our culture and media editor katie razzall was taken on a tour.

it�*s a journey through 500 years of british art, but now this story isn�*t presented in a vacuum but reflects the culture and society of its times. tate britain�*s also giving greater prominence to works by women artists and diversity. this is the first room in which women artists appear. alex farquharson�*s been busy investing in art by women, including this new acquisition by mary beale, the most prolific female portrait painter of the 17th century. of course this is a man�*s world, in society as a whole and in terms of the arts scene. these are artists that have been marginalised from art historical accounts, and unfairly marginalised. and it�*s so important that the work is seen in the context of their male peers. tate now displays its art within its wider historical context, with new commissions alongside for the first time. nils norman�*s radical pamphlets show the turbulence of an age of civil war in a way the paintings don�*t.

and there is new labelling too, a reminder of what life was really like for workers idealised in this stubbs painting, and slaves depicted amongst the dancers in this 18th century agostino brunias. it�*s a truth that this is a deliberately misleading image. it would have been made for planters, people who made huge wealth out of sugar and slavery, while also offering an image that acts like propaganda to people back home. what�*s your response to people who say, why are you relabelling these things? why are we notjust proud of our history? well, it�*s actually not superimposing a modern history onto history. it�*s precisely telling history more truthfully had more inclusively. tate�*s collection belongs to us all. they are telling our history through art, whether that�*s the brutality of war, industrialisation and its impact, or the story of empire. i want people to walk right up to it. hew locke grew up in guyana.

this work is a nod to the heraldic imagery on a british passport. it's a document which people are fighting for, people are literally dying to get this thing. does it reflect britishness in any sense? it reflects ideas of britishness, ideas of an invented culture, ideas of nationhood. how do we come to become who we are? can art provide an answer? these modern works were created during the upheavals of brexit, black lives matter and me too. in 500 years how will visitors here interpret this art of our island nation? katie razzall, bbc news. ijust want i just want to bring you ijust want to bring you some news that has broken in the last few minutes. the former prime minister borisjohnson has been referred to the police by the government�*s cabinet office over new claims he broke lockdown rose during the covid—19 pandemic. 0ur political correspondent is in westminster, this has literallyjust broken, what do we know?

this has literally 'ust broken, what do we know?— this has literally 'ust broken, what do we know? this concern is having taken place — do we know? this concern is having taken place during, _ do we know? this concern is having taken place during, between - do we know? this concern is having taken place during, between the i taken place during, between the summers of may 2020 and 2021, and it seems officials going through boris johnson�*s ministerial diary in preparation for the covid public inquiry have raised concerns about whether potential events held at chequers, the prime minister�*s country residence, in fact were a in breach of covid regulations at the time. and we have had confirmation from the metropolitan police this evening that they have received information from the cabinet office. also, the cabinet office have confirmed to us that in line with their obligations under the civil service code, material has been passed to the relevant authorities. tonight a spokesperson for boris johnson has told us that following examination of the entries by mr johnson�*s lawyers they wrote to the cabinet office to say the events were lawful and no breaches had taken place, and they stress that borisjohnson has not been contacted

by the police and also suggest this is politically motivated.— is politically motivated. thank you very much- _ time for a look at the weather. here�*s tomasz schafernaker. good evening. the weather is looking good over the next few days. it may not be desperately warm but it will at least be dry for most of us with plenty of sunny spells on the way but strong sunshine obviously this time of the year. high pressure is pretty much with us over the next few days and what this will be doing is sort of changing shape, and as it changes shape we will see wind direction changing across the uk. but generally speaking we are not seeing the warmth coming from the south, mostly coming from the north atlantic and eventually eastern parts of europe. look at this, over the past few years at this time in may, from 2018 to 2022, we would have had the mid 20s, high 20s. this year we�*ve only managed 23 so far, at least. and at the moment it
