the manchester united defender was booed by england fans just before kick off — an incident that england manager gareth southgate and captain harry kane have both criticised. today, maguire has also received the full support of his club manager too. he's been a very valuable player and the captain of the team of the club, also my captain, so i didn't understand what was going on actually at wembley, but i'm pretty sure this will not happen in our stadium, the red army behind the team, and the club also behind the captain is a very important player. to cricket and yorkshire's interim managing director darren gough says it's time for the club to move forward after structural reforms at the club were approved. thursday's changes mean yorkshire can host international matches again, having met criteria set out by the england and wales cricket board. the ecb suspended the club's right to stage england games over its handling of the azeem rafiq racism scandal. it came to the club injanuary can i think the members have been magnificent. i was pretty confident that would go ahead last night and i

the uk government said in england... for these friends, they want to see more done to change period education to lessons that empower instead of embarrass. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. hello there. we have seen sunny spells developing today, and, again, most places fine and dry. it has been a very dry april for much of the country. we have seen above average rainfall across eastern scotland and some of the driest weather has been across central and south—eastern parts of england where about one third of the expected rainfall so far. the prospects for the rest of the month, dry. little or no rain. no areas of low pressure, no weather fronts bringing the rain. where has it all gone? they've actually been steered into the mediterranean. it has been very wet here. another area of low pressure bringing more rain to iberia at the moment. here in the uk, we are stuck with easterly winds which means the east coast is always going to be a bit cooler whereas towards the west, particularly sheltered areas,

a bit of an easterly breeze picking up across the east of england there. that will make it feel cooler along north sea coasts. but i think the best temperatures will be across more southern and western areas. could see highs of 17—18 degrees. towards the end of the week, the area of low pressure, which has been sitting out to the west of us, will dive southwards into biscay and iberia. it could affect the very far south of england as we move into the weekend, but i think thursday and friday will be influenced by this big area of high pressure to the north of the uk. and that will bring us pretty strong, brisk easterly winds for both thursday and friday. so that will make it feel quite chilly, particularly along north sea coasts. probably the best of the weather and the high temperatures will be further west. today at six we're live in ukraine, as russia expands its attacks nationwide. in lviv in the west, seven people die in air strikes as parts of the country previously unscathed come under fire. ukrainians believe this is a reminder from russia that it

england scrum—half natasha hunt has been named in this weekend's england squad. it will be her first start for 17 months when they play italy, in the women's six nations on sunday. hunt "stepped back" from international rugby in 2021 because she was unhappy in the england camp. her inclusion this weekend means the 33—year—old can now fight for a place in october's world cup squad. that's all the sport for now. remember that world cup draw is live across the bbc from 4.45. i'll have more for you in the next hour. louisa, thank you very much. millions of people are counting the cost of unprecedented hikes in their energy bills. from today, the price cap goes up by more than 50%. joining me now is the principal policy manager for the citizens advice bureau abbyjitendra. normally people would switch providers to find a good deal, but now you're talking about essentials, what people cannot do without? absolutely, what we are seeing is an unprecedented increase in our bills. overnight, most people's energy bill has gone up by £700 a year, which is incredibly unaff

it will squeeze out some rain, especially through wales and west england but elsewhere in england, you may see some rain but not as much as many people would like to see. scotland and northern ireland, it will brighten up with some sunny spells coming through. it will be feeling warmer here on sunday. and then we get to the bank holiday. expect a good deal of cloud around, some sunny spells here and there but also some showers, particularly across northern areas of the uk. it will feel a bit warmer through wales and england by then but cooler in northern scotland. a mixed picture, have a look online for wherever you are going. thank ou ve for wherever you are going. thank you very much. — for wherever you are going. thank you very much, nick _ for wherever you are going. thank you very much, nick miller. - a reminder of our top story... as russia confirms it fired missiles on the ukrainian capital kyiv yesterday — nato warns the west must prepare for the long haul. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams whe

, wales, running into northern ireland, north—west england as well. these areas, you might well start off with a little bit of morning sunshine, but even where you start off with the sun, cloud will tend to bubble up and spread across the skies in any case as we go through the day. so, whether you start off cloudy or cloud develops later on, most of you will see quite a lot of cloud through the day. across northeast scotland, you might hold onto some sunny spells through the afternoon here. there will be one or two elsewhere in the west. temperatures about nine to 1a degrees for most. the area of high pressure has been bringing us this long spell of settled weather, still on the charts for thursday, but it is starting to weaken to a degree. we may well see just a few showers running into northern scotland, maybe one or two not far away from south—west england. otherwise, still predominantly dry, often a lot of cloud building through the day and temperatures not really changing a great deal, 10—15 or maybe 16 celsius. friday follows a very similar

but again, midlands, eastern england, southern england could stay dry with some good sunny spells and temperatures mid—to—high teens once again. so, i think we're starting the easter weekend off on a largely fine, pretty warm note with some sunshine around — the best of it in the east, but there is an increasing chance of more unsettled weather trying to push in from the north and the west for part two of easter weekend. welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... russia says more than 1,000 ukrainian marines have surrendered there. kyiv says it still holds the key port city. more evidence russia has carried out alleged war crimes in ukraine. we report from bucha, where investigators are collecting details. the challenge for prosecutors will be to establish a line of command, from the grave to the top of the russian state. to show that crimes were notjust committed, but ordered. also coming up on newsdsay... a desperate search for survivors in south africa, as the president calls the flooding there a catastrophe of enormous proportio

highest temperatures southern england, south wales —18—19 celsius. most of the wet weather on these weather system is getting steered to the south of the uk. high pressure is dominating, and it's centred all the way up there into greenland. now, we'll have lighter winds on monday. they're coming more from the north, so it'll be a bit cooler. and we'll find more clouds spreading out and increasing through the day, and the greater chance of catching one or two showers in england and wales. should be dry in scotland and northern ireland, cloudy in northern parts of scotland, and, generally, it's cooler on monday, with highs around 1a degrees or so. and it could be a chilly start on tuesday, with cloudy skies across the north, and that northerly breeze will push the cloud further south, and temperatures will range from 16 in the southwest of england and south wales to only around nine celsius in northeast scotland and the northeast of england. so, these are the changes for next week. it's going to be cooler, there'll be a lot more cloud around, but this

eventually into parts of northern england, whereas the rest of england and wales, the cloud will increase, there will be sunny spells and this is where we will see the higher temperatures up to round 17 degrees for example in hull and london. that all weakens that rain as it moves south overnight into sunday. still some patchy rain left on sunday and a lot of cloud left behind for the bank holiday. this is bbc news. i'm geeta guru—murthy. the headlines at 2: the un chief, antonio guterres is in kyiv to meet president zelensky. as he visits scenes of alleged war crimes — he says russia must cooperate with the international criminal court. the war is an absurdity in the 21st—century. the war is evil. more than half a million ukrainian civilians have been forcibly deported to russia — the bbc hears first—hand accounts from some of those taken. the death of four members of one family in south london — a man has appeared in court charged with murder. an investigation has found that former labour cabinet minister liam byrne breached parliamentary bullying rules and recommends

to what extent them is it not a ministerial problem but public health england problem? the court in this case did not have to apportion blame to particular individuals, however what the court did conclude was that the net effect of these documents was that the irrational failure or a combination of these documents and of course therefore on that ground, the secretary of state in his former capacity, not personal capacity, and his former capacity and public health england both lost. interesting thing about this is the claimants were not seeking damages. how might that change though in future in light of this judgment? yes, this was a judicial review, therefore one would expect damages to be sought. however, it does not mean it's a green light for every relative who feels that their loved one has passed away as a result of these guidance to sue the government. it does make it a little easier on a very important point. thank you for talking to us today. thank you for talking to us today. thank you for talking to us today. thank you very much. britons wanting to apply for a

we hear all the way across england _ in england? absolutely. we hear all the way across england about i in england? absolutely. we hear all the way across england about the i the way across england about the huge amount of pressure that is currently being exerted on the nhs. everybody is working so incredibly hard at making some fantastic gains. while we see, in some ways, some positive figures, fewer people waiting extremely long times, we are seeing more and more people being added to the waiting list and that is creating this a real challenge at a time when there are a lot of people in hospital with covid, which creates all sorts of capacity problems. there is staff off with covid and that affects what services have been offered and how many people can be seen. there is record numbers of people needing emergency care all the way through the system, from primary care, gp surgeries, all the way up to people calling for ambulances and the emergency department. incredibly busy at the moment and on top of that, the challenges social care is exper

best chance of any rain probably tuesday for england and wales for england and wales. temperatures a little down on where we expect them to be and yes, for early may, still chilly enough for us to see a risk of frost in sheltered spots. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines: president putin cuts gas supplies and declares that russia will respond immediately to any country attempting to interfere in ukraine. translation: if they create threats for us, threats of a strategic nature, our retaliation, our counterstrike, will be instantaneous. but, despite that warning, the uk's foreign secretary liz truss says western allies must double down in their support for ukraine. we can't be complacent. the fate of ukraine hangs in the balance. a desperate appeal from those trapped inside a steel works in the city of mariupol — a ukrainian commander warns

well, here's a man who led england in 32 test matches. originally, i would've said that ben is so important to the team just as a figure, as a presence in that dressing room. i think now there are two things — one he's more mature. i know he's had problems in the last couple of years, and hopefully we all hope he is through those completely. he's done the job in bits and pieces. he's done it temporarily before. he's captained the one—day side, and he's looked good doing it, so i think and i hope he's ready for it. each cricket generation produces a charismatic all—rounder. ian botham was captain briefly. didn't work. same goes for andrew flintoff. free spirits can be restrained by responsibility. england need ben stokes at his very best. he's got the respect i of the dressing room. he has been a leader in that for the last however- long he's been in it, _ almost coming as a young man, he was someone that people follow. he's not one of these great players who just goes off. and does his own thing. he is someone that is constantly- th

now, across southern england, a better chance of seeing some sunshine. should have some sunshine, as well, across much of the northwest of the uk, and i suspect this cloud will tend to get eroded, so the areas that are most likely to keep it into the afternoon, well, probably east midlands, lincolnshire, norfolk and suffolk, but otherwise, i think most of you will see some sunshine. dry for many, an odd shower for northern scotland, an odd shower in southwest england, but in the best of the sunshine, we're looking at highs up to 16 degrees. it's a similar kind of day, really, on friday. again, we start off with some of that patchy cloud coming in off the north sea, but for many of us, it's a dry day, again with some spells of sunshine, and starting to turn just a little bit warmer as well. 17 the top temperature in cardiff and glasgow as well. after this lengthy spell of dry weather, caused by this high pressure, we're actually going to see some changes into the weekend. it starts to weaken, to allow this weather front to move in from the north and west.

england are in france for a winner—takes—all decider to this year's tournament. both sides have won all four of their matches with bonus points, england ahead only on points difference. but they are on one heck of a run at the moment. jo currie is in bayonne for us. so it's the night before le crunch, and just like last year, this women's six nations title is going to come all down to this fixture between france and england, with both sides coming into tomorrow's game unbeaten. now, it may be relatively quiet here at the moment, although you might be able to hear the mowers just giving the pitch a final once over, but tomorrow this place is going to be absolutely rocking. it's a sell—out crowd. 12,000 fans are expected to turn up. not many of them are expected to be english. and as the england lock abby ward says, they are prepared for the noise, they are prepared for the atmosphere and theyjust can't wait to get going. it is the most brilliantly brutal atmosphere will ever be involved in. i love it. the you know, the games, they love to sell—out especially a

well, maybe england will send for their superman, ben stokes. he's a world—class all—rounder, but has taken time away from the game recently to look after his mental health. and as root�*s friend, he'll knowjust what is involved in one of english sport's most stressful jobs. patrick gearey, bbc news that's all from the bbc news at six, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

here, one bridge in northern england is swept away and goes crashing into another. since 2015, the uk met office has been giving names to storms to raise awareness of the severe weather on the way. here from the national coastwatch institute on the isle of wight, i am able to link to will lang who is at the met office in exeter. will, what is the purpose of naming storms? how useful is that? i think when we started naming storms about seven years ago now with our friends at the irish met service, i think we were probably taking a risk. we didn't know how well it would work and we could be seen to be trivialising bad weather or even dumbing down meteorology, but it has been a real success. i think we are also connected these days, there is so much available information online and in the media, and storm naming reallyjust helps us to organise that advice into a single simple message which everyone can share. so, notjust the met office but also the bbc, the rest of the media, government, emergency services, and of course the public. there is plenty of evidence of this

the new data comes as free covid testing ends, for most people in england. the draw for this year's men's world cup has been made in doha, and it's thrown up some fascinating fixtures. england has drawn iran and the usa in group b — the other place could be either scotland or wales. and former winners germany and spain have both been drawn together in group e withjapan. let's cross to doha now and speak to martin lipton, chief sports reporter for the sun newspaper. thanks very much for talking to us. what is your immediate reaction to some of the draw is that we have learnt about? i some of the draw is that we have learnt about?— some of the draw is that we have learnt about? i think the highlight is from a domestic _ learnt about? i think the highlight is from a domestic position - learnt about? i think the highlight is from a domestic position in - is from a domestic position in england, they have got a pretty good draw entry. the sort of draw that you would probably have picked. not only an initial phase but also the likelihood of playing one of qatar

so some wet weather for wales, south west england through sunday. some of that light and patchy rain and drizzle will drift its way eastwards. further north, it will be brightening up, the clouds. will tend to break up and we'll see some sunny spells, bar the odd shower around, so it will be a bit warm here, 16, maybe 17 degrees. a little bit cooler further south, low to mid teens. that area of low pressure clears away, so for bank holiday monday, it's looking a bit drier across the board. there will be quite a bit of cloud around here, one or two showers developing across northern and central areas but also some sunny spells. and where that happens, we will see temperatures reaching highs of around 18 degrees. further north, the low to mid teens. very little change as we move through the new week. it looks like pressure will remain high with very little wind, so again the air will be quite stagnant. we'll have variable amounts of cloud, a bit of sunshine, maybe one or two showers around, and possibly tuesday could see most of the showers through ce
