vienna says two austrian nationals held in iran for years have been released and are returning home. live now to our correspondent bethany bell. both of these men are dual citizens and one of them was arrested in 2016 when he arrived in tehran airport on a visit to family there. amnesty international said he was convicted on spying charges after a forced confession obtained under torture. he of course had been in tehran for a long time, and the second man, we understand, is in his 70s, and he was arrested in tehran in 2019 and again on what amnesty international calls vague national security —related offences. he is understood to have quite severe medical conditions including diabetes and heart problems. the news has been

welcomed in austria and we have heard from the austrian leader who said this was a triumph of diplomacy after years of work. the foreign minister of austria said it was an emotional day for all of us. he said their thoughts were with the families of these men who would now be able to embrace their fathers, husbands and grandfathers again in freedom, and we understand reports suggest they will go to belgium first before coming back to austria. he also thanked the belgian authorities for the help in securing the releases.— authorities for the help in securing the releases. scientists say they're excited by the results of a blood test trial which can detect 50 different types of cancers. a study found the blood test managed to correctly identify two

thirds of cancers among 5,000 people who went to their gp with suspected symptoms. our medical editor, fergus walsh, has more details. a blood test which could detect cancer and rule it out, with very high accuracy, would be revolutionary. this test has been developed by californian company grail. it can detect tiny fragments of cancerous dna in the bloodstream, which have broken off from a tumour. the trial involved more than 5,000 patients from england and wales who'd gone to their gp with suspected cancer symptoms. a positive blood test result meant the patient was likely to have cancer. tumours were confirmed 75% of the time. a negative test meant cancer was very unlikely, but did not rule it out completely. where cancer was correctly found, the test was able to pinpoint

its origin in the body in 85% of cases. the oxford professor who led the trial, and is presenting the results at a conference in chicago, says the blood test is still a work in progress, but its ability to pinpoint the type of cancer is exciting. 85% of the time — when we found a cancer — it told us where that cancer was. so in future, we could use the test accurately to get the right and basic investigations done first time, and speed up the diagnosis. you only know if you're in the test group if the test detectsl potential signs of cancer. often, cancer patients present with only vague symptoms, like unexpected weight loss or abdominal pain, so the blood test could help spare them unnecessary investigations.

a major trial of the grail test is under way across the nhs. 140,000 healthy volunteers are having annual blood tests to see whether it can detect potential signs of cancer. the first results are due next year. fergus walsh, bbc news. a fascinating story. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. charlotte is from cannock but has danced competitively all over the world. she opened her dance school in her hometown before the pandemic began and many of her students perform at a higher level but this tea dance is about getting social dancers back in the ballroom after the isolation of lockdown temporarily stopped the music. the?t temporarily stopped the music. they are a little family _ temporarily stopped the music. they are a little family now, _ temporarily stopped the music. tie: are a little family now, they have got together and they all have a laugh and a joke.— got together and they all have a laugh and a joke. laugh and a “oke. trisha and eric were laugh and a joke. trisha and eric were almost _ laugh and a joke. trisha and eric were almost ready _ laugh and a joke. trisha and eric were almost ready to _ laugh and a joke. trisha and eric were almost ready to give - laugh and a joke. trisha and eric were almost ready to give up - laugh and a joke. trisha and eric -

to the aslef union, took industrial action on tuesday and plan to strike again tomorrow, the day of the fa cup final at wembley. our correspondent rowan bridge is at manchester piccadilly station. well, the story of the disruption's really written on the departure boards behind me, where there's a number of blank spaces where you would normally expect to see departures listed. and the concourse, the platform is noticeably quieter a here than it would normally be. now, that disruption that we're seeing today is going to continue into tomorrow, when aslef — the train drivers�* union — stage their own strike, in their dispute over pay, and that is going to have a significant impact as well. that will vary around the country, but it will be significant here in manchester where, for example, avanti west coast won't be running any services between london and manchester. and that is significant because it's the fa cup final between manchester city and manchester united,

with thousands of fans trying to make their way to london. you have other sporting events taking place 100,000 people will go to epsom in surrey for the derby. its, to epsom in surrey for the derby. beyonce concert in london and elton john is playing on sunday night and also test cricket in odds which are being forced off the rails and onto the roads, for people to find another way of getting there. the roads are expected to be extremely busy. the aa is advising people, avoid service stations if you can and go to local towns and cities for a break. as for the strike itself, the train drivers union and the rmt, they have both said they would be open to more talks, but there are none planned at the moment and that means the strike which has overly rumbled on for many months, may rumble on for more months. —— which has already rumbled

on. to football and manchester city are on the verge of an historic treble and their star striker erling haaland has been talking to the bbc about what it would mean to him. he's scored a record 36 goals this season in the premier league — an astonishing 52 goals in all competitions. he'll be hoping to add even more goals to that total tomorrow in the fa cup final. erling haaland has been talking to our sports editor dan roan. never, ever misses! this man is a sensation. another haaland hat—trick! he's the norwegian super scorer who's taken the premier league by storm. in a remarkable debut season in england, manchester city's erling haaland has established himself as world and here at the club's training ground, he told me how he was handling sporting superstardom aged just 22. it's nice. that means i've done something right. my life has changed, of course. i can't live normal, so normal, any more. and that's something ijust have to admit. and that's how my life is. i can't complain. i like to do a bit crazy kind of stuff, both on and off the pitch. like the silk pyjamas,

which seem to be becoming something of a trademark of yours? no, i like to be comfortable wherever i go, and i think i look really good. so that's why i use it, basically. i'm 196 tall and i've got long blonde hair, so wherever i go, people are going to see me. so that's how my life is. but what can i do? there's nothing i can do. that's my life. i just have to try to enjoy it as much as i can. when i was young, i wanted to become a professional footballer and the best in the world. so, a price comes with that. if you're going to be that, there's certain things you have to do different. you have to live different. you have to do this and that. and that's just how it is. yeah, i'm not complaining. your dream, you say, was to be the best in the world. have you achieved that dream? do you believe you are the best goal—scorer in the world right now? a good question. i don't want to answer that. i think someone else should answer that.

but i scored most goals this season, ithink, so, erm, that's a good start. in an astonishing campaign, the prolific haaland has scored 52 goals for his club, including 36 in the premier league, a new record. and haaland does what haaland does. is there something which you can identify as the secret to being such a great goal—scorer? for me, it's about keeping the confidence and i try to never overthink. that's the most difficult thing in this world in 2023. when i score a goal, it's like, oh, this feeling is so nice, i would love to do it again, kind of a feeling. so, it's easy, really. i'm a simple guy. when i do something and i like it, i want to do it more. do you think you can improve? yeah. from my right foot to my left foot. from the heading. everything. he thinks he can still improve. i'm sure he will be the star of the fa

cup final tomorrow. we will have the phillip schofield interview in the next hour. we also have the latest on the covid inquiry and the issues surrounding the revelation over the whatsapp messages. hello there. the wind flow hasn't changed, but we're seeing more sunshine across the uk today and that's because whilst the winds are still coming in off the north sea, it's drier air that's heading our way from norway and the cloud has been much thinner and has been breaking up more widely. so plenty of sunshine around, feels warm in the sunshine as well. it's still a little cooler right on those north sea coasts because we've got that north—easterly breeze. it's still quite breezy in the south east of england as well. overnight, some of that cloud will come back in across some eastern areas of england, and we'll see some patchy cloud in the north of scotland. otherwise, skies will be clear.

it's going to be pretty chilly out there as well. colder than it was last night in england and wales, 4—5 celsius, perhaps even lower than that in north—east england and south—east scotland. there'll be some cloud around from overnight first thing, it'll burn off again and we'll see lengthy spells of sunshine, bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up over the high ground in scotland and across some southern parts of england as well. but a fine day, temperatures may be a little bit higher widely, up to 20 to 22 degrees. again, cooler around some of those north sea coasts, but a pleasant day nonetheless. and sunshine far and wide, and it's high uv levels as well. we've still got high pressure in charge right the way through the weekend. there it is — centred to the north—west of the uk. there's a lot of cloud in that, and that cloud is going to run across northern scotland and then push back down across the north sea into some eastern areas of england overnight into sunday morning. so a bit more cloud around. it will retreat back to those north sea coasts, but it could stay cloudy in a few more places. otherwise, a lot of sunshine around. dry day as well. warmest out towards the west. temperatures reaching 23 or 24 degrees, but a lovely weekend

for many parts of the country, and high pressure isn't going anywhere really at all next week. still got some blustery winds through the english channel and the south—east of england. otherwise, the winds will be light. this cloud that we start with across the midlands and eastern england, burning back to some of those north sea coasts. sunshine developing across more of the country, and those temperatures climbing up to 23 or 24 degrees or so. so this weather pattern is still with us and it's not changing at all through next week. high pressure will be dominant, staying dry. there will be some areas of cloud around. west is going to be best in terms of sunshine and also the highest temperatures.
