phillip schofield resigns from itv after acknowledging he had an affair with a younger male colleague from his daytime show. the home office says a nationwide issue with uk border force e—gates is creating longer waiting times at passport control at airports across the country. it's understood the problems started on friday evening. there have been reports of long queues at arrivals in several british airports. this picture, tweeted on saturday morning from london heathrow�*s terminal 5, gives an idea of some of the delays which have been building up. heathrow has issued a statement, saying — we are aware of a nationwide issue impacting the egates, which are operated by border force. our teams are working closely with border force to help resolve the problem as quickly as possible. the issue is being felt at all points of entry to the uk — notjust aiports. but airport seem worst hit— here's london luton.

and these were some of the queues at london gatwick. a spokesperson there told us the problem first started between seven and eight pm on friday evening. the uk home office, which oversees the border force, say there is an issue with its border system — but it told the bbc that it was �*too sensitive to say�* precisely what is happening. it's working to resolve the situation as swiftly as possible. just a reminder — egates are an automated passport control system. they usually speed up the process. live now to our reporter david waddell at london heathrow airport. yes, well, it is proving to be a beautiful bank holiday weekend but it did not get off to the best of starts for border force or for thousands of passengers abated up and down the country. that is incoming passengers. uk airports right across england, scotland and wales. it has also affected passengers coming into the eurostar at the border force checkpoints in

both paris and in brussels but we are told that the eastgate systems have been resolved. we have also been told by the heathrow and airport that the queues have largely died down here but we heard from one incoming traveller earlier, someone who had come in from chicago and told us what he had seen when he landed. ~ . landed. when i arrived in the airort landed. when i arrived in the airport this — landed. when i arrived in the airport this morning - landed. when i arrived in the airport this morning we - landed. when i arrived in the airport this morning we were i landed. when i arrived in the - airport this morning we were first informed — airport this morning we were first informed that the british airways flight _ informed that the british airways flight to— informed that the british airways flight to manchester had been cancelled, which follow from some of the w _ cancelled, which follow from some of the it problems that they had yesterday so i decided to take the train to— yesterday so i decided to take the train to travel to manchester but for that— train to travel to manchester but for that i— train to travel to manchester but for that i needed to get out of heathrow airport and there was absolutely chaos at passport controt _ absolutely chaos at passport controt i _ absolutely chaos at passport control. i waited something like two and a _ control. i waited something like two and a half_ control. i waited something like two and a half hours to get out of the airport— and a half hours to get out of the airport and — and a half hours to get out of the airport and there were people getting — airport and there were people getting really frustrated and a couple — getting really frustrated and a couple of individuals who try to jump— couple of individuals who try to

expecting to receive 1200 flights today. gatwick 800 flights. all the people coming off those aircraft need to be processed in some way and that, obviously, it's going to take time. i'd make david, i know keeping across the latest there. thanks very much for that. thanks very much for that. to turkey now and that big presidential election happening tomorrow — sunday. it's a two—way runoff between the current presdient recep tayyip erdogan. he's been in powerfor two decades. — and his main rival, the secular opposition leader, kemal kilicdaroglu. in the first round of the elction earlier this month, president erdogan won 49.5 percent of the vote — just over 4 percent more than his rival. both candidates are now chasing support from nationalist voters. we can now speak to anna foster. hi, anna. hi. ithinkthe hi, anna. hi. ithink the key hi, anna. hi. i think the key thing is both men _ hi, anna. hi. i think the key thing is both men think _ hi, anna. hi. i think the key thing is both men think they _ hi, anna. hi. i think the key thing is both men think they can - hi, anna. hi. i think the key thing is both men think they can take i is both men think they can take those extra few votes that belong to the third placed candidate last time out and basically, in the last week or so, they have really been going

for those ultranationalist voters. these are the posters change, the rhetoric change. they know that by this time tomorrow the polls will be closed, the counting when it started and people here in turkey will be close to knowing who their next leader will be. so let's look at those two candidates. there is president recep tayyip erdogan 20 years in power first as president recep tayyip erdogan 20 years in powerfirst as prime minister than as president. he positioned himself as a strong he leader. says strong for turkey. he has made the country much more religious. people complain that he is too authoritarian figure. they worry he is pulling democracy away from the country. on the campaign trail, when they had the parliamentary elections two weeks ago, his party got a comfortable majority in parliament and he said that as a key reason for people to choose him as the next president. kemal kilicdaroglu, what are you

going _ kemal kilicdaroglu, what are you going to — kemal kilicdaroglu, what are you going to do if you are elected president? it is there anything you can do— president? it is there anything you can do after you can get the support of the _ can do after you can get the support of the parliament? where is the legislative power vested? 0f of the parliament? where is the legislative power vested? of course, it is in— legislative power vested? of course, it is in the _ legislative power vested? of course, it is in the parliament. there are more _ it is in the parliament. there are more than — it is in the parliament. there are more than 300 lawmakers in the parliament. how are you planning to pass the _ parliament. how are you planning to pass the bills? that parliament. how are you planning to pass the bills?— pass the bills? that is president recep tayyip — pass the bills? that is president recep tayyip erdogan. - pass the bills? that is president recep tayyip erdogan. and - pass the bills? that is presidentj recep tayyip erdogan. and then pass the bills? that is president - recep tayyip erdogan. and then you have kemal kilicdaroglu, his challenger, who brought together a whole range of opposition parties. he presented himself as a more secular alternative, a more democratic alternative but his critics say that he doesn't have the strength of the experience on the international stage that president recep tayyip erdogan has. he, though, has been talking about some of the issues that have really been resonating at the ballot boxes this year including the economy. the situation that _ year including the economy. the situation that our country is in right— situation that our country is in right now— situation that our country is in right now is not good. turkey needs to get— right now is not good. turkey needs to get out— right now is not good. turkey needs to get out of this. to be able to do that we _ to get out of this. to be able to do that we need to put up a fight together, no matter how we look at

moscow is blaming ukraine for multiple attacks in russia. the governor of kursk region said cross—border mortrar fire had killed a construction worker in a border village. the russian defence military also said that they have intercepted two long—range missiles supplied by britain, and shot down 12 drones in the last 2a hours. ukraine's most senior security official has said the country is ready to launch its long—expected counter—offensive against russian forces. in a rare interview, oleksiy danilov told the bbc the planned assault was an "historic opportunity" — but the government had "no right to make a mistake" — when making such an important decision. james landale reports from kyiv. this is what's left of bakhmut in eastern ukraine. images filmed by russian forces of the ruins

they now largely control. mercenaries from the wagner group claimed they're withdrawing, being replaced by regular russian troops. but ukraine insists its forces are still engaged on the ground in the outskirts, as the country's most senior security official told us. translation: we control just a small part of the city, and we admit that. but you have to keep in mind that bakhmuy has played a big role in this war. are the wagner mercenary group withdrawing, as their leader, prigozhin, says? yes, that is happening. but it doesn't mean that they will stop fighting us. they're going to concentrate more on other fronts. our intelligence is following that. we understand where they will appear next. they are regrouping to other free locations and we're following that.

voiceover in ukrainian and all the while, ukraine is preparing a counter—offensive. this propaganda video broadcast by military commanders to raise morale and encourage what they called a decisive offensive. but when might it begin? translation: we will figure out when that will start so that we can have the best result at that point of war. it could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week. it would be strange if i were to name dates or the start of that or another event. that cannot be done. but you're ready. we're always ready. the same as we were ready to defend our country at any time. and it is not a question of time. we have to understand that that historical opportunity that is given to us by god, to our country, we cannot lose. so we can truly become an independent,

big european country. but, until that happens, ukraine will remain vulnerable to attacks like this. a hospital in dnipro destroyed by a russian missile that air defences this time failed to stop. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. straight to wembley where there is around half an hour to go until the match known as the �*richest game in football�* kicks off. coventry city face luton town in the championship play off final — the winner booking their place in next season's premier league — and collecting around 170 million pounds. so a huge prize is on the line — and our reporterjoe lynskey is at wembley for us. a real sense of excitement here at wembley ahead of what is football's most lucrative one of match and the

prize is a place in the premier league and all the riches that go with that, around £170 million but four bed luton town and coventry city the top flight would have felt so far away even just five years ago because, in 2018, they each other in league 2 and, not long before that, luton were in non—league. they came up luton were in non—league. they came up on the fifth year in 2014 and, since then, they have kept on rising. it would be extraordinary if they finish the journey today and go up they finish the journey today and go up again not least because kenilworth road, their stadium, would be the smallest ever ground to grace the premier league. currently, had stadium issues as well since their relegation from the top flight 21 years ago, they have had had temporary home grounds in several seasons they have played. they've gone to northampton, to birmingham to mud to burton as well. and now they are back home and thatjourney that has had so many ups and downs

could see them back in the top—flight. forthe could see them back in the top—flight. for the team, could see them back in the top—flight. forthe team, keep could see them back in the top—flight. for the team, keep an eye on their midfielder who has been with the club for nine years so he played with them in the national league. today he could come the first player to go from a non—league to a premier league. from wembley to the women's super league where chelsea's women are on the cusp of a fourth successive league title. they're beating bottom club reading 3—0 — sam kerr and guro reiten with the goals. that scoreline also relegates reading. manchester united were in contention at the start of the day — but they'll finish second, securing champions league football for the first time — with them currently liverpool. in germany — we're heading towards a thrilling finish

at the end of the bundesliga season. awin for borussia dortmund against mainz would give them them their first title in 11 seasons — but with just a few minutes remaining — dortmund are losing 2—1. however — they will still win the title — because defending champions bayern munich are drawing 1—1 against cologne. just a few minutes remaining in both matches. from football to rugby union — where two more titles will be decided today. in cape town, defending champions stormers take on munster for the united rugby championship title, but before that — saracens or sale will win the premiership title in england. sarcens currently leading — 23—18 — in an entertaining match. saracens are targeting a sixth premiership title while sale have lifted the trophy once — back in 2006.

bayern have in fact scored against cologne which means, as things stand, bayern will win the german bundesliga title. so stay right up to date on bbc sport website. so stay right up to date on bbc sport website. there's more confusion over whether anthonyjoshua will fight tyson fury in an all british heavyweight bout this autumn. fury claimed he'd sentjoshua a contract for a fight at wembley in september — saying it's a fight �*everyone wants to see�*. however — joshua�*s promoter eddie hearn says that�*s not the case — but did confirm fury�*s team had reached out. and one other line to bring you from monaco — as max verstappen has qualified on pole for tomorrow�*s grand prix — finishing just ahead of fernando alonso. and that�*s all the sport for now.

the british tv presenter phillip schofield has resigned from itv after acknowledging that he had an affair with a younger male colleague at this morning. in a statement, mr schofield said he had lied about the relationship to itv as well as to his agents, lawyers and family. he said the relationship was "unwise, but not illegal". itv said it felt deeply disappointed by what it called his deceit. we can now speak to presenter and showbizjournalist, ellie phillips. what do you make of this? where do you think this leaves phillip schofield and itv? pare you think this leaves phillip schofield and itv? are really troublin: schofield and itv? are really troubling time _ schofield and itv? are really troubling time for _ schofield and itv? are really troubling time for both - schofield and itv? are really troubling time for both of. schofield and itv? are really i troubling time for both of them. what has happened is really bad news that they�*re having to deal with. i do worry about phillip schofield�*s mental health because it feels like everyone is mincing at the hands of him and saying they have nothing to

do with it. if you look at how he was given his goodbye, a 32nd gig by saying he was there for 21 years commencing very lacklustre. i think now moving forward it is difficult because the questions being asked are who knew at itv? and that is why itv put out a statement today following a statement yesterday and entered a�*s statement they said they revealed that they investigated these rumours of phillip schofield�*s affair with a younger male colleague three years ago, actually, in early 2020 when he came out as gay on the programme. they said that both men categorically repeatedly denied claims of an affair as a dead phillip schofield�*s agent. they a number of people who worked at this morning did not find or were provided with any evidence of anything going on beyond hearsay and they also added, which i think is extremely telling, said that in phillip schofield�*s statement yesterday he revealed that he lied

to senior management, fellow presenters, to the media and others over this relationship. so that is itv very clearly saying, no one knew. investigated, we found nothing. both he and the man he had the affair with kept it from everyone. moving forward it seems that itv are hoping that they will be able to keep holly willoughby on there by saying, essentially, she had no idea this was going on and that moving forward people who are being tarnished by what has happened will remain, just phillip schofield and everyone else will become unscathed. that remains to be seen because it is notjust how they can prove that, it is how viewers react to that. if they can see someone has that integrity they will struggle. we will see how their viewing figures d. holly won�*t be back for at least a week so it will be interesting to see how they cope with what has gone on and what

happens. with what has gone on and what ha ens. , , .,, with what has gone on and what hauens. , , .,. with what has gone on and what hauens. , , . . . ., happens. just people watching around the world give — happens. just people watching around the world give as _ happens. just people watching around the world give as a _ happens. just people watching around the world give as a flavour _ happens. just people watching around the world give as a flavour of - happens. just people watching around the world give as a flavour of who - the world give as a flavour of who phillip schofield is in the uk. enormous figure. 40 years on screen as a previously much loved presenter. started out in kids television and was at the helm of this morning for 21 years. it was his choice to bring on holly willoughby to co—host with him and they�*ve co—hosted dancing on isa, and major other tv shows and actually, yesterday when he resigned from itv he not only were saying, i will step down from this morning, i will step down from this morning, i will step down from this morning, i will step down from dancing on isa. you will no longer host the british soap awards. we know how massive the soap awards. we know how massive the soap awards. we know how massive the soap awards are here and soap in general. he was fronting that only a step down from that. and it is really shocking. and it came out as gay in 2020 at what the huge thing to see someone fronting a daytime tv show in the uk come out of the closet in that way. it was met with

every positive reaction at the time publicly and so for him to come out and say he had an affair, behind his wife�*s back, with a male colleague at itv who worked on this morning and that actually, he admitted that he helped get this person a job in itv when they were very young, it is all particularly concerning and i think a lot of people have worried about kind of abuse of power, which is huge at the moment in terms of an imbalance when someone is fronting a massive, one of the biggest shows on television, it went every award every year, for them to be doing this behind everyone�*s back it seems is really quite shocking to the public. is really quite shocking to the ublic. , ., ., , ., is really quite shocking to the ublic. , ., ., ., ., public. great to get your opinion on it. thank public. great to get your opinion on it- thank you _ public. great to get your opinion on it. thank you very _ public. great to get your opinion on it. thank you very much _ public. great to get your opinion on it. thank you very much for - public. great to get your opinion on it. thank you very much for coming | it. thank you very much for coming on and talking us do that. thank you. thank you. stay with us here on bbc news. we are keeping a close eye on these
