to cycling and alejandro valverde won the tour of catalonia on sunday.f the seven—day race with his compatriot alberto contador second and his movistar teammate albert soler third. valverde has had a great start to the season — he beat contador at the tour of andalusia and claimed the one day tour of murcia for a fifth time in february and this is the 36—year—old's second tour of catalonia title. if you want everything else, you can go to our website. bbc. common/ sport. you can also follow our twitter feed as well. but for me, we will see when little while. until then, bye for now. hello again. it is not often that we get the best of the weather over the weekend, but that seems to be the case this time round. on sunday, we had a temperature of 20 degrees in highland scotland, aviemore, for example. but, for many of us on sunday, the skies were not quite as blue. we had some high cloud contaminating things. now, there is some cloud coming up from nearby france, but we are also filling in the north sea with low cloud, and it is that that is heading our wa

these breakaway after those problems in catalonia ?bility... any more comments on gordon - that way? you season gordon brown's that way? you season self as a saviour of britain, from the last independence, —— he sees himself. it is fairto himself. it is fair to say that he sees scotla nd it is fair to say that he sees scotland as the issue that he can bring back to the forefront...” thought he spoke really well on it and it was a fair point. the thing is, the concept of a third - it is, the concept of a third way, it goes back to when we had clinton and blair trying to triangulate in the same way. i do not think people want to hear about a third way but i understand the argument. brown tries to field a middle ground. i think maybe they do, what we have seen with brexit and the previous scottish referendum is the binary question where we know that political events are complex. and we wa nt political events are complex. and we want to compromise. as we saw with brexit, 48% of people said, hang on, we didn't vote for any of this! you area

this driver has won the tour of catalonia. his team—mate was that.ow. back to you. jessica, thank you a much. the first dinosaurs may have originated in the northern hemisphere, possibly in an area that is now britain. that‘s one of the conclusions of new research on the subject. it suggests that the current theory of how dinosaurs evolved and where they came from may well be wrong. pallab ghosh reports. fossilised bones that capture a time that dinosaurs ruled the earth, more than 65 million years ago. by measuring how they changed over the years, researchers worked out how they are related, and how they evolved. but a new reassessment published in thejournal nature, which suggests that that theory which has lasted 130 years, maybe wrong. the current theory is that there are two main groups of dinosaurs. one, which includes the stegosaurus, and another, which has two branches. the vegetarians such as the brontosaurus, and the meat eaters, such as the savage tyrannosaurus rex. it turns out that the meat eaters are in the wrong group, and should be wi

the french cyclist nacer bouhanni has won the fourth stage of the tour of catalonia after it was shortened impey in a sprint to the line. the start of the race had to be moved because of the treacherous conditions. a short climb before the finish saw the specialist sprinters dropped from the group with the frenchman coming through to win. america's tejay van garderen retains the race lead. what a way to finish that is! that is about all we have time for an don't forget for everything else you can go to the website. there's live updates on formula 1 practice taking place, the first practice currently taking place for the next a5 minutes in melbourne ahead of the weekend's opening australian grand prix. from me, tulsen tollett, and the wonderful sport today team, goodbye for now. hello there. good morning. things are looking pretty good on the weather front over the next few days. the satellite sequence of shows that we saw a fair bit of cloud across the south of the uk and that tended to melt away, but it's coming back in overnight and there more cloud across the north of the uk as well. bu

, of course scotla nd scotland with catalonia, of course scotland is a totally different case. is a totally different case. iam not scotland is a totally different case. i am not sure that argument stacks up any more. also, from an economic point of view, the most damaging thing that can happen the scottish economy is leaving the european union and the single market. the institute of the university of strathclyde have estimated this could cost scotland 80,000 jobs in scotland alone. this isa 80,000 jobs in scotland alone. this is a shock to our economy and devastation to jobs and the economy that we can ill afford. so the first minister's plea today is to save jobs and the economy and retain our membership of the european union and retain a secure a relationship with the rest of europe. did you hear firm cast—iron guarantees and reassu ra nces firm cast—iron guarantees and reassurances the, because i did not? know, but they did make the point that they would not just be know, but they did make the point that they would notjust be able to go into the european union as an existin

leave, whereas once you're out, trying to get back in again, with the spanish opposition such as cataloniajoining the euro it, it all becomes more complicated. in terms of actual independence for scotland if britain is out of the eu but scotland, more people in scotland voted to stay in the eu, willie not gareth and i is the eu, willie not gareth and i is the independence vote? it will galvanise some people, but there was an interesting strain of the independent state and you could tout rise them as wanting to be independent from both the union of the united kingdom and the union of the united kingdom and the union of the european union so there is this kind of question mark about whether if you take out the people who voted for brexit, are the snp representing the 45% anymore hasn't gone down to 2796? that is interesting. the other thing we have learned in the last few weeks is that it is northern ireland now as well as scotland. this is even more complicated for them because suddenly you are seeing a surge in national support because people are worried about a hard border and what has be

spain's government is worried about the separatist movement in catalonia. ffiifuéfiéfiiaziwa'sacs: — — —ligiou symbols but the restriction must be based on internal company rules requiring all employees to dress neutrally. i am joined by the min ~ mep george batten, and the conservative mep ian duncan. let us look at the european court ofjustice ruling on headscarves. what do you make of it? it seems to bring the ec] into line with the uk government, as far as i can work out. you cannot discriminate against one culture or religion. you have to treat all equally. theresa may said she disapproves at pmqs. she said women have a right to choose how they dress. that is not what the ec] ruling is saying. she is saying she won't legislate on how people are wearing their clothes. and that is right, but all should be treated equally and fairly. what do you think? we should not be under the jurisdiction of the ec]. yeah, i got that bit. it is fraught with difficulties. first of all, should a company have a dress code? that is not an unreasonable thing. this is difficult. it means you cannot wear j

scotland were to secede, or gets out, however one wants to present it, the same would happen for cataloniadon't they? i think this was an old argument against independence of scotland in the eyes of the european union but this has been surpassed by events. by brexit? by brexit, absolutely. you can put it whichever way you want, britain is sabotaging if the brexiteers were to be punished by the break—up of the united kingdom, i guess a lot of people would not be so displeased any more. would that make it easier? we do not know what relationship scotland would want if it were to be independent but would that make it easier? would there be more of a welcome for the scots? i think so. - of the regional dimensions of the european union, and don't forget that the european union is changing very fast. all the conviction and prejudice are changing as well. there is a lot of goodwill towards redesigning the european union. how do you see this? it is all up in air now, isn't it? nobody has a solid and comprehensive view about this battle — the battle over the two unions. what ever happens to the fir

not to make this an easy, matter—of—fact thing to do when it is faced with the possibility that catalonias for your thoughts. two of the three main candidates in the french election are now under formal investigation. it's a pretty extraordinary statistic. francois fillon, the centre—right leader campaigned as mr clean but now faces charges of corruption. he denies accusations that he paid his wife and children for work they didn't carry out and promises to fight what he calls a political assassination. he now doesn't have the issue just a penelopegate but of the lovely suit he was given. i suppose you would call it suitgate — 13,000 he was given. i suppose you would call it suitgate —13,000 each, so they must have been fantastic, but they must have been fantastic, but they were given to him. why is he not dropping out? it isa not dropping out? it is a good question. there are plenty in his own party asking the same question. they spared him the walk of shame today. the media expects him —— expected him to appear tomorrow, but he nipped in today. he said he would stand down if he was form

spain, worried about catalonia, they may have a view.al argument in the modern world, another division, let's work together on the things we want to achieve, a strong and successful united kingdom. hilary benn, thank you very much. we are going to go to westminster abbey, the queen has entered for the commonwealth service, and let'sjust join the proceedings there are, as she meets the dignitaries, the church leaders, at westminster abbey. formerly her private secretary, now shaking hands with her, someone she knows very well. let's join that private ceremony. so, the queen, duke of edinburgh, prince charles, arriving for that service. # send her victorious # happy and glorious # long to reign over us # god save the queen after the national anthem, the service gets underway, the queen in a different outfit from the one she was wearing at buckingham palace a short time ago when she handed over the commonwealth baton to the first of the baton bearers as it begins its remarkable journey to the gold coast of australia, for the start of the co

of course in spain, the catalans in catalonia have always argued that they should be an independent countrywhatever happens, there should be some border there, perhaps with customs posts. david davis has talked about it not being a hard border. the prime minister says she wants a frictionless border. it is quite difficult to see how this is going to work because if we are outside the single market and the republic of market is inside the single market, there will have to be some sort of control. we will see more control at airports and sea ports on the island of ireland, if you like, in order to make it possible for us to have not too hard border within the island itself. mark, thank you very much. if we did not get to your question, don‘t worry, because we will be coming back to this later in the day. in a moment, a summary of the business news, but first the headlines. a royal marine jailed for the fatal shooting of an injured taliban fighter in afghanistan will be freed from prison within weeks following a long campaign by friends and family. tesco agrees to pay 129—million pounds to avo

and despite movistar winning the second stage of the tour of catalonia three of their riders are penalised for helping push team mates hello and welcome to the programme where we start with the news that paris says it wants to host the olympic and paralympic games for the games, when it lost out to london in 2005. the bid chief for paris has told the bbc that they're only interested in the 2024 games and could not host the next event four years later. this after the ioc hinted it might award the 2024 and 2028 olympics we believe we have the strongest offer i 2024. we we believe we have the strongest offer i 202a. we have the offerfor 202a. we have the guarantees, the public support, the support also. we have 95% political support also. we have 95% of existing venues. this is the anniversary of the - in of existing venues. this is the anniversary of the -in1921i so anniversary of the games in 192a so it is now never for us. you are saying you would not want to host the games in 2028th? no, we cannot because we have the games in 2028th? no, we cannot because we - have the project because we

europe that are concerned such as spain concerned that if scotland gets out the same will happen for catalonia got what you doing i think this was an old argument against independence of scotland in the eyes of the european union but this has been surpassed by events. britain is sabotaging a union. there is a reason for resentment out there. if people in favour of brexit were to be punished by the break—up of the united kingdom i guess a lot of people would not be so displeased any more. we do not know what relationship scotland would want if it were to be independent but would that make it easier? would there be more of a welcome for the scots? i think so. it is understandable because it would be a validation
