of the hernia in the normal way. the surgical operation and the general anaesthesia were well tolerated by the pope. now he's awake and he's fine and he's already at work. that's the latest update on the condition of the pope this evening. the pope this evening. as bristol approaches the three—year anniversary of the black lives matter protests, the city reflects on the moment when a statue of edward colston, linked to britain's slave trade, was toppled and thrown into the canal. this event sparked a broader conversation about britain's historical involvement in slavery and its lasting impact. efforts to address this history and promote inclusivity continue as bristol confronts its complex past. joining me now isjen reid, an activist, author and educator, renowned for her pivotal role as a symbol of the black lives matter movement.

reid courageously seized the moment and ascended the vacant plinth, powerfully raising her fist in a resolute black power salute. jen, thank you so much forjoining us in talking to us on this three year anniversary since those events. can i ask, where you taken by surprise by how much it clearly struck a nerve, the protest, and how quickly those headlines were beamed around the world? yes. quickly those headlines were beamed around the world?— around the world? yes, thank for havin: around the world? yes, thank for having me- _ around the world? yes, thank for having me. yes _ around the world? yes, thank for having me. yes i _ around the world? yes, thank for having me. yes i was _ around the world? yes, thank for having me. yes i was really - around the world? yes, thank for| having me. yes i was really taken aback. what surprises me is that the amount of people who knew colson as amount of people who knew colson as a philanthropist and were not actually about him being a slave trader, and it went worldwide. i thought that would be the case. and obviously, personal were sparked off the removal of statues. there were statues that were troubled around the world, whether they were removed or toppled. the world, whether they were removed ortoppled. so the world, whether they were removed or toppled. so it was really kind of a ripple effect across the world. indie

a ripple effect across the world. we are looking at the statue in the moment it was toppled duly or toppled into the water in bristol. was itjust toppled into the water in bristol. was it just a toppled into the water in bristol. was itjust a sense that people at the time never made the connection's they just weren't educated the time never made the connection's theyjust weren't educated about it? i think people who were there, the 10,000 people that mark the day, were fully aware of who closed it was and what he represents. but also i think it's really important that we remember george floyd and all of this. 10,000 people were out that day, too march on the brutal killing of george floyd, and during that march, then closed and came down. but he wasn't the main focus, but obviously after what happened it went around the world.— obviously after what happened it went around the world. where are we, three ears went around the world. where are we, three years on's _ went around the world. where are we, three years on's have _ went around the world. where are we, three years on's have things _ three years on's have things changed, do think westmark you know, there's more — changed, do think westmark you know, there's more awareness. _ changed, do think westmark you know, there's more awareness. there - changed, do think westmark you know, there's more awareness. there are - there's more awareness. there are statues around the world that have been removed. and there is increased awareness of systemic racism and

on a glorious evening in halesowen, the racing is fast and furious, but they're also having lots of fun. it's the regular friday night track league which attracts riders i like racing with the boys and girls so they push you harder. halesowen have more than 100 members of all ages and the evening kicks off with a chance for the youngest riders, the cubs, to show what they've been learning in their weekly coaching sessions. we're a racing club, so we promote road racing, track racing here tonight and cyclo—cross races. road racing isjust as important to the club. ben healey, who recently won a stage of the giro d'italia, started at halesowen as a six—year—old. the sport is not without its current challenges. there's been a steady decline in the number of road races, but halesowen still organised their own event with athletics, tennis and weightlifting, also based at manor abbey. this is the heart of the town's sporting life, and they're determined to keep it that way. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news.

a cyber crime gang thought to be based in russia has claimed it's behind the hacking of payroll data affecting companies around the world. the bbc, boots and british airways are among those impacted here. the group — called clop — has posted a statement on its darknet site, threatening to publish the stolen information if the companies don't email them by the 14th ofjune. jude mccorry is ceo of cyber and fraud centre scotland and told me how worried we should be about this data. all of your data could be out there. so it could be your name or your address, your national insurance number, your bank account details, anything that you present to an organisation to prove who you are could be available, and people can then start impersonating you for financial gain, or also even for fraudulent things like passports or driver's licence or different identity theft. you mentioned there that these happen quite regularly. is this a particularly

significant attack, though? i mean, it's affecting, what, three very large companies, large organisations. so, ransomware attacks are very regular. and we usuallyjust get the big news stories when they are the bigger organisations, and then when the details do come out on the dark web and the information is leaked. and smaller organisations are attacked all the time. it doesn't come into the news because they're not big news stories. but also some people don't want to talk about it because of reputational damage and also they want to try and keep it below the radar. there's been a ransom demand. what is likely to happen in these situations? taking sort of past examples. so it's very much down to the organisations themselves. if you'tr public sector, people would not pay the ransom and private sector organisations, it's very much a decision for them to make for themselves. our advice is not to pay the ransom because a, it doesn't guarantee your data back.

b, it doesn't guarantee that the organisation won't come back and attack you again. and c, it doesn't guarantee that the data will never, ever be on the dark web. and also, they could sell it on to other criminal gangs as well. so there's no guarantee that you will get anything if you do pay the ransom. and also the fourth point is, you are investing and you're paying criminals, serious and organised criminals to carry out these attacks. and the more money they get, the more of these attacks they're able to pay. is it possible to stop these hacks? presumably, all of these companies have the technology, or attempts to stop these hackings happen. are they their systems good enough? again, we won't know until the investigation comes out how secure these systems and i don't know if we'll ever find that out because they are private organisations. for public sector organisations when they're attacked, there is lessons learned and there would be some details like particularly the cp attack

where they publish the details of the attack and how the attackers got into the systems as well. i don't know if people... we don't know if they are investing enough. a lot of organisations don't invest enough or they invest in technology they don't have then the manpower to manage the technology. and also, some people might think that it's less expensive to pay the fine, which to me is an organisation that does not respect your data and is not a good custodian of your data, or if it is a supply chain organisation, they're not good supply chain organisations to deal with. people should be very, very aware. in a few hours' time downtown manhattan will be hosting one of the biggest film events in the us — the tribeca festival — co—founded by movie legend robert de niro. the festival began as a civic restoration project in the wake of the september 11th attacks to revive the devastated tribeca neighbourhood. but now it's grown to become an internationally

respected movie showcase. robert de niro will be on the red carpet tonight, as will our correspondent tom brook, who joins us now from tribeca in new york. tom, this is a huge festival now. how much of it centres around robert de niro? it how much of it centres around robert de niro? , , . .,, how much of it centres around robert deniro? , , . , de niro? it is very much robert de niro trustable. _ de niro? it is very much robert de niro trustable. he _ de niro? it is very much robert de niro trustable. he co-founded - de niro? it is very much robert de niro trustable. he co-founded this| niro trustable. he co—founded this festival in the wake of the attacks with his long—time producing partner. the worldview is one of the new york liberal democrats. i think it will reflect that issue and diversity. he is 79 years old, 80 years old almost.

i spoke to him a couple of days ago. i spoke to him a couple of days ago. i like him, but he doesn't complete her sentences. i i like him, but he doesn't complete her sentences.— her sentences. i apologise, we are clearly having _ her sentences. i apologise, we are clearly having some _ her sentences. i apologise, we are clearly having some issues - her sentences. i apologise, we are clearly having some issues with . her sentences. i apologise, we are| clearly having some issues with the sound there. tom brooks, obviously leading up there to a clip with robert de niro, who had been speaking to, so let's hear what he had to say and we will transfer that sound out. i feel i have the right in some ways, but as far as someone like trump in that situation it's purely because he makes me so angry that we would allow someone like him to be president, ever, under any conditions. he does like your movies, because i was looking at the list of his top ten films, and he really likes goodfellas. does that sit uncomfortably with you? he identifies with it. he thinks he's a gangster, that's why. 0ne one of the other big names who will be at the tribeca film festival is matt damon, and tom also managed to

catch up with him. yeah, yeah, yeah. i am a very, very big fan. you know, they actually succeeded in supplanting the beatles. for me as my desert island band. i just love them. i grew up with them and you know, i'm about a decade younger than them. so i was right in the wheelhouse of of kind of fandom. what i love about this movie is what it says about the role of art and music, an act of defiance and as an act of resistance, and as a way to kind of build community and as a way to, to to be alive. i think we can go back to tom now. hopefully the microphones have been sorted out a bit more. tom, if you can hear me, what would be the highlights of the film festival? first of all, let me say it's a very eerie day here in new york for the opening of the tribeca film festival. it's smoky and hazy. but i think one of the highlights will be the opening night film, which you

heard matt damon talking about, which is about the siege of cereal bowl. it's a good tribeca film because it shows the power of art, in this case brock music during that siege in the 1990s, to keep hope alive. so that is certainly a film i think a lot of people are looking forward to. there are a lot of other attractions. it's a bit of a dogs dinner, but there are some great, interesting films coming up in the next 12 days. aha, interesting films coming up in the next 12 days-— next 12 days. a bit of a dogs dinner? i'm _ next 12 days. a bit of a dogs dinner? i'm not _ next 12 days. a bit of a dogs dinner? i'm not sure - next 12 days. a bit of a dogs dinner? i'm not sure how. next 12 days. a bit of a dogs - dinner? i'm not sure how robert de niro would think about you describing his festival like that. what is interesting, it started as a civic registration project. project succeeded in doing that? we can see behind you, it's looking misty, but quite lush and lovely. win behind you, it's looking misty, but quite lush and lovely.— quite lush and lovely. will yes, in the wake of _ quite lush and lovely. will yes, in the wake of september _ quite lush and lovely. will yes, in the wake of september the - quite lush and lovely. will yes, in the wake of september the 11th, | quite lush and lovely. will yes, inj the wake of september the 11th, i was living very close to this neighbourhood. it was devastated. it was desolated. there was no one around. it was gray and silent. so i think this film festival definitely, which began to kind of restore the

neighbourhood, did have an impact. now what has happened is it to become incredibly gentrified. so the creative people who kind of feed tribeca by way of being independent film—makers have been pushed elsewhere. so it's a very nice, wealthy, affluent new york neighbourhood. the restraints today. it's like the beginning of a bad movie here, i have to say. but yes, it has changed, all for the better, i think, tribeca, it has changed, all for the better, ithink, tribeca, but it has changed, all for the better, i think, tribeca, but not if you have much money.— i think, tribeca, but not if you have much money. i think, tribeca, but not if you have much mone . ., have much money. tom, en'oy the red caret. have much money. tom, en'oy the red carpet. enjoy— have much money. tom, en'oy the red carpet. enjoy catching _ have much money. tom, en'oy the red carpet. enjoy catching up _ have much money. tom, enjoy the red carpet. enjoy catching up with - have much money. tom, enjoy the red carpet. enjoy catching up with all- carpet. enjoy catching up with all those movie legends. and thank you for staying with us here on bbc news. there's plenty more to come. two thirds of adults in england are now overweight or obese. it has a massive impact on both the health service and the economy. the nhs in england is now considering giving people access to weight loss injections through their gp. for the moment, it's only a pilot scheme. our medical editor, fergus walsh,

is here with the details. the drug suppresses appetite by mimicking a hormone released after eating, so making you feel full. in trials, obese patients lost around 15% of their body weight. the initial plan was for it to be available only via specialist weight loss clinics, which would limit it to 35,000 people a year. this two year £40 million gp pilot scheme will add several thousand patients to that, but if successful could open it up to many more. and there's no doubt about the scale of the problem. over 12 million adults in england are obese with a body mass index of at least 30. obesity is estimated to cost the nhs around six and a half billion pounds a year. so, the hope will be it could reduce pressure on hospitals. sarah from north yorkshire says she's tried every diet going, but continues to struggle with her weight and has a bmi

of over a0. she believes wegovy could make the difference. i want to live in a smaller body and i want to be able to do that so that i can spend time with my daughter. i have a four—year—old daughter and i want to be able to be active with her, and live for as long as i possibly can to see her grow up. so for me, something like this that allows me to become a healthier version of myself is crucial and exciting. like all medicines, wegovy can have side effects. the most common include nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain and bloating. and when patients come off the drug, most start piling on the pounds again. of course, this doesn't deal with some underlying problems behind obesity, poor diet, the promotion and availability ofjunk food, and lack of physical activity. and for now, there are no stocks of wegovy in the uk. 0ur medical editor fergal walsh.

there's bad news for travellers using heathrow airport this summer. a series of fresh strikes has been announced by security guards at the airport in their dispute over pay. the unite union says more than 2,000 of its members will walk out for 31 days from june 2a to coincide with the beginning of the school break, and the august bank holiday. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin has been following the story. it could be longer cues to get through security and potentially some flight cancellations although the exact impact isn't clear yet. that will depend on what level of contingency plans heathrow is able to put in place. more than a0 strike dates have been set and between late june and the end of august.

there were some previous strikes over the past couple of months but this time the action is more sustained. there were more workers involved. also, it's going to last longer. this dispute is over pay. unite has rejected a 10% pay rise. and several rounds of talks in the offer of a lump sum on top haven't been enough to resolve the dispute so far. unite says the dispute could even escalate further. heathrow says it will keep on talking and do everything it can to minimise the impact of any strike action. police in scotland are investigating the death of a 14—year—old boy, who died following an incident at a school in west lothian. the emergency services were called to st kentigern academy in blackburn yesterday. the boy, who hasn't been named, was taken to hospital but died a short time later. the school said it was an "isolated incident".

a court has been hearing how a 23—year—old man being held in a police station in south london shot dead a metropolitan police officer while he was handcuffed, using an antique revolver that he had hidden. the jury was shown cctv of the moment sergeant matt ratana was shot in the chest without warning. louis de zoysa admits firing the fatal shot, but denies murder. controversial plans to bring back a deposit return scheme for bottles and cans in scotland have been delayed again. the scheme was meant to go live this summer. it was then pushed back to march next year. now, it won't be rolled out until at least 2025. the delay is because of a row between holyrood and westminster which wants glass excluded to enable a consistent uk—wide approach. hello. we are heading for a spell of warmer weather. on top of that, increasing humidity

and also the possibility of one or two heavy showers, perhaps some thunderstorms as well. and we do need the rainfall because it has been so very dry over the last two or three weeks in some parts of the country and even in others, close to a month of no rainfall at all. central parts of england, church lawford last time it rained was the 11th of may, and southern parts of wales have not seen rain for about a month. and the reason for it is this persistent area of high pressure. it's sinking air through the atmosphere. that's why we call it high pressure. it's stuck here and it prevents weather fronts from coming off the atlantic. doesn't necessarily mean it's been all that sunny. in fact, we've often seen low gray clouds forming in the north sea and being pushed by that wind that blows around the area of high pressure. so cloudy mornings, but then brighter afternoons. so, through the course of the night, we'll see low cloud being pushed in once again by that breeze off the north sea. skies across western parts of the uk will be clearer. i think temperatures will be no

lower than around seven degrees and more typically nine or ten in city centre. so on thursday morning, cloudy start for many of us, particularly across eastern parts of scotland and england. and then, that strong june sunshine works its magic. the cloud burns back to the eastern coast, but it does look as though that eastern strip will stay on the cloudy side and chilly in places, maybe no higher than 15 degrees in hull, newcastle and norwich, or 17 in norwich or so. the higher temperatures will be further west. pollen levels still remain very high across parts of england and wales. further north, little bit lower. the forecast then for friday, and we are going to see that change in the weather across south—western parts of the uk. increasing humidity, i think hazy skies and the risk of showers, maybe some thunderstorms too, but very isolated in the south—west on friday. in fact, they could arrive as early as thursday night. elsewhere, the weather will be more or less the same. what we've been used

to in the last few days. now, the temperatures will steadily rise. we could see highs approaching the high 20s in some spots. so not too hot, i think. warm enough for most of us. that's it for me. bye— bye.
