Today, but there is more rain on the way later, and in fact for all of us at some stage this week we are going to see some rain, some of us quite often, wet and windy, and the reason why, no pressure packed just to the north of the British Isles this week. If you look at these white lines, the isobars are close together, so you know it is going to be windy, there are weather fronts coming around the area of low pressure, showers moving on through, but sunshine occasionally too, some good weather at times, the sunrise that many of us enjoyed this morning. Lets see how the rest of the morning is playing out, a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain, prepping up cloud, outbreaks of rain, prepping upa cloud, outbreaks of rain, prepping up a little bit towards the east and south east, turning dry in wales, northern england. Writer in Northern Ireland and scotland, if you heavy showers around. Gusty winds, but the strong winds in northern scotland so far today will ease a touch, temperatures into the mid teens, pretty much where they will be throughout this week. Further outbreaks of rain across east anglia, south east england at times, but notice how they clear away, then clear spells and notice the heavy showers coming across scotland, Northern Ireland, towards parts of wales in england later in the night. Overnight, temperatures pretty much where they are going to be, no frost orfog in the where they are going to be, no frost or fog in the forecast, too windy for that. Tomorrow you can see the land showing up, some sunshine to be had at times, but showers too, most frequent in western scotland, but some travelling further east across us some travelling further east across us all during the day with gusty, squally winds, hail and thunder as well. But the proportion of the day that may be wet could be small, but the showers will make an impact if you get them, sunshine either side, temperatures into the mid teens. Just to reinforce the point about it being unsettled, this picture midway, still no pressure here, bands of showers with sunshine either side, staying that way into the weekend as well, a selection of places to show you, many more locations online or through the app, but you get the idea. A chance of longer spells of rain going into the weekend, perhaps more so towards england and wales, we will keep you updated. The idea is that it will be wetter times this week, not all the time, we will get to see some sunshine occasionally but, reeta, not far away from heavy downpour. A reminder of our top story an american businesswoman whose friendship with borisjohnson when he was london mayor is under scrutiny has denied he showed any favouritism. Thats all from the bbc news at one, so its goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbcs news teams where you are. Good afternoon. Its 1 30pm, and heres your latest sports news. Theres a new man in charge of englands cricketers. Chris silverwood takes over as head coach from Trevor Bayliss after his four years in the top job. Hell take charge for englands tour of new zealand starting next month. Heres our cricket correspondent, jonathan agnew. Isa is a formerfast is a former fast bowler, he played a handful of is a former fast bowler, he played a ha ndful of tests is a former fast bowler, he played a handful of tests for england, a long time for yorkshire. A very popular figure in the game, move into coaching like some players do. He was very successful at essex, he got them promoted to the First Division in one year, then won the championship the following year. That is his credentials, really are looking to tighten their focus on test cricket. While he has not actually coached a National Team before, he has been very much involved as bowling coach at the last couple of years. It was that ability to get essex from the bottom to the top in consecutive years which will have counted in his favour as england focus on test cricket now. He was described as the outstanding candidate, he was the only one, but this one should be a popular one among the players . Yes, they know i dont like him. He is kind of one of them. They know him and they like him. The main coaching role is obviously a little bit different to that. Gary kirsten was in the frame, he a south african, probably the favourite last week. With so many of these coaches now, they dont want to spend your time away from home and they dont have too, that is plenty of money on the 2020 circuit, shorter tours, it may be six weeks here and there, three orfour times a may be six weeks here and there, three or four times a year, may be six weeks here and there, three orfour times a year, and thats it. The curse without the issue of months that youd have to spend away from home, alec stewart spoke about that last week, withdrawing for family reasons. He was clearly at the standout candidate.

Match of the days alan shearer says the form of striker Marcus Rashford is symptomatic of their problems. This team is the worst team i can rememberfor a this team is the worst team i can remember for a number of years. This team is the worst team i can rememberfora number of years. It will be ready for starting as a forward because of the lack of quality, the lack of balls coming into the box. I did something very similara into the box. I did something very similar a couple of weeks ago at west ham, exactly the same thing happening today as he did at west ham, no movement. Ijust wonder whether anybody is saying anything to him because nothing has changed from two or three weeks ago from what i saw today. Not moving in at the box, making it far easierfor the box, making it far easierfor the defenders as it should be. He is young, he is still learning, it has to bea young, he is still learning, it has to be a very frustrating time for him because that team, at the minute, is awful. Great britain ended the world atletics championships with five medals thats their lowest total since 2005. Their championships ended in bizarre fashion too. The womens 4 by 400 Metres Relay Team thought theyd claimed bronze after third placed jamaica were disqualified. But that decision was overturned on an appeal, so britain were moved back to fourth. And before we go, we loved this video on social media from the olympic gold medalist, jack laugher. Here he is at a Training Camp in turkey with a few other members of the british diving team, and theyre channelling the avengers with their best superhero impressions. Ill have more for you in the next hour. Scotlands highest court has dismissed an attempt to ensure that borisjohnson asks the eu for a brexit extension if he fails to get a deal. The group of campaigners who brought the action will try again tomorrow using a different legal procedure. Lawyerjo maugham, one of three who brought the case, spoke earlier outside court. The court has dismissed our petition, the court has said it has promises from the government that the government will send the letter mandated by parliament, and will act ina way mandated by parliament, and will act in a way as not to frustrate parliaments intention in enacting the so called benn act. For myself, i very much hope that the court is right and the government will, as it has promised to do, abide by the law. That is all i and missed events and news cherry have ever sought from these proceedings. There is very real doubt in my mind that the government will act in accordance with the law, so tomorrow, will pursue our appeal against the decision of the outer house to the inner house of the coat of session, scotlands highest court. Court of session. The mp Stephen Hepburn has been suspended by the labour party while an allegation of sexual harrassment is investigated.

Its often described as a hidden epidemic one that affects 176 Million People across the world. Endometriosis is a condition that can affect women from their teenage years and causes intense pain. More than 13,000 who suffer from it in the uk have shared their experiences with the bbc they say it has badly affected their education, careers, relationships and mental health. Following the research, mps are today launching an inquiry into its impact. Broadcaster emma barnett has been speaking about living with the condition. I was in agony. My periods could be very heavy, they could be lighter, but the one constant theme was how much pain i was in. I mean, it was bone grinding. And yet when i went to see doctors with my mum, they would say, this is whatjust some girls have. You are listening to emma barnett on 5live. As someone who often interviews politicians, i get answers for a living, or i try my very best, i had failed to get answers from doctors and i saw all sorts of doctors over the years. I didnt know until the age of 31 i had endometriosis. Id gone 21 years without diagnosis. Endometriosis is a condition in women where cells that represent like the womb lining, that should leave your body during a period, dont, and instead, they stay within your body and attach themselves to different organs, building up lesions and causing really difficult pain for women. In the largest study of its kind, the bbc has spoken to more than 13,000 women with endometriosis. Nearly all said it had affected their career, sexual relationships and mental health. Around half said it impacted their ability to have children. And half said it led to suicidal thoughts. Im going off to meet mum and daughter, victoria and jessica, who both have endometriosis. I think people just think its a painful period. Oh, shut up, its a painful period, get on with it. I really wish it was a painful period and i only had to cope with it once a month, but we live with pain every single day. Depression is a massive part of endometriosis as well. It has been for us. Ive been on antidepressants since i was 17, which is the same time i was diagnosed. At its worst, how bad has endometriosis affected you . It affects everything. Everything. Ive been so poorly recently, ive been at home, not being able to go to college and even at home, i cant do anything and im exhausted every single day. Has it brought you closer, do you think . This sort of pain solidarity . Yes, because we understand each other. I have really good friends and i can speak to them and say im really struggling today but no one really understands like someone who is going through it, just like you can understand how much pain i am in right now but my friends dont. They dont have to live like this. The same number of people have the condition in this country as type 2 diabetes and we know next to nothing and how to treat it. Its seen to be embarrassing to talk about it. I didnt think id ever come on National Television and talk about my bowels, but, hey i did it with you its heartbreaking to have spoken to victoria and jessica about essentially living this joint life in agony but it really reinforces to me how important it is that if you recognise any of these symptoms, that you go to the gp and get a referral to a specialist, that you fight for treatment and for a better existence. The headlines on bbc news at shows 135 climate activists are arrested in london at the start of two weeks of the global protest by the climate group, extinction the rebellion. The head of nato has accused russia of taking aggressive actions against those western neighbours. In an interview to mark 30 years since the end of the cold war, the need to will acid russia is trying to sell a new sphere of influence in central europe. This week, there will be a special series of reports on how to use the events of 1989, the berlin wall fell on to the soviet union collapse. The warships are russians, the place is crimea, ukrainian territory annexed by moscow. Its a military show of strength the russian annexation here was a watershed moment. The end of the cold war had brought hope of partnership between moscow and the west, that is gone. What we see is a pattern of behaviour where russia is responsible for aggressive actions against numbers. That reflects the main problem of russia is that they still believe in the idea of their sphere of influence. In response to moscows annexation of crimea, nato has stepped up military exercises and bolstered its forces close to a rush ats western borders, to boost security for the baltic states. Nato jets are regularly scrambled here to intercept Russian Military aircraft. As long as russia does not change their stance toward the west, they can be a threat to smaller neighbours. Moscow denies it is a danger to nato or the baltic states. The baltic has become one of the front lines of what feels like a new cold war between russia and the west. To moscow, the presence of nato troops near its border is a direct threat to Russia National security. One complaint i often hear from russian officials is that 30 yea rs from russian officials is that 30 years ago, the promise was made by the west to moscow that nato would not enlarge and move closer to a russias borders. Russia says the west deceived moscow. First of all, no such promise was made. Secondly, just at the idea that big western allies shows promise not to moscow is an idea based on a totally wrong assumption that a big country is promise something on behalf of small countries. Back in crimea, the kremlin has a different message for the the west that is the threat, and russia must defend itself. After the iron curtain fell, many people believe that russia and the west would chart a common course, but operation depends on trust, and that has ebbed away. That much about cooperation depends on trust. Sexual harassment of female students in universities is a global issue. For the past year, bbc africa eye has been investigating the situation in west africa. They interviewed dozens of victims and sent journalists undercover posing as students to secretly record men who sexually harass women inside two of the regions most prestigious universities the university of lagos and the university of ghana. We must warn you that kiki mordis report contains disturbing scenes of a sexual nature and begins with details of her own experience. My matriculation pictures. I was a happy girl, just floating through life. At 19, i got into one of nigerias best universities. But it was nothing like i imagined. One of my lecturers demanded to have sex with me in exchange for my exam results. I refused. Never, ever did i imagine that i would be a victim. Unprovoked, i didnt do anything. The harassment forced me to drop out. For more than a year, africa eye has been investigating sexual harassment. In nigeria, we focused on the university of lagos, or unilag. After speaking to numerous students, one name kept coming up. Dr Boniface Igbeneghu is a senior lecturer in french and a local pastor. We sent an undercover journalist to meet him, posing as a 17 year old student, below the legal age of consent, seeking admission to unilag. Over a number of meetings, he was consistently inappropriate with her. Doctor boniface promised her admission to unilag if she passed her exams. He was also very open about wider harassment inside the unilag senior staff club. The footage we captured also showed physical harassment. He then released her. Unilag told us it dissociates itself from the alleged behaviour of dr boniface. It has a zero tolerance policy towards sexual harassment. It did not comment on the so called cold room. Despite repeated requests, doctor boniface has not responded to the allegations against him. New zealand is preparing to mark the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the british explorer captain james cook. His landing on october 8, 1769 in what is now the city of gisborne is being commemorated the arrival of a replica of cooks ship, the endeavour. But maori activists insist the event is offensive and glorifies a man who murdered indigenous people. Phil mercer reports now from gisborne on new zealands north island. Captain cooks First Encounter with maori at poverty bay, or turanganui a kiwa, was marked by bloodshed. A local chief was killed. Indigenous activists say it was the start of a brutal colonisation led by the british explorer. He was a very cruel man who meted out torture and murdered our ancestors. Thats how i see him as a murderer and an imperialist expansionist. Campaigners say that before the arrival of captain cook on these shores in 1769, maori were a free and independent People Living in a thriving civilisation. They insist that the theft of their lands by the british has had lasting consequences. Indigenous New Zealanders suffer high rates of unemployment, ill health and suicide. Incarceration is a serious problem too. This man is a former gang member who dropped out of school and was jailed for drug dealing. Drugs was the easiest thing for us to do. You know, we could get drugs and we could turn that over and make money. Where there were no other opportunities but drugs, really, for us. Kind of ended up in a circle. We go to jail, get out, back to jail, get out. Its not uncommon for maori to live the life that ive lived because weve had the same struggles. The arrival of a replica of cooks ship, the endeavour, is part of a broader celebration of maori and polynesian seafarers who settled in new zealand long before the british. As a community in the past weve tended to be quite focused on our own culture, i think, on both sides. So rather than trying to create a single version of the truth for everybody, were trying to make a much more complex telling so that everyone can find their place in it. Thats really been our focus to make it nice and broad. James cooks legacy here in new zealand is still fiercely debated. Was he a barbarian or an enlightened nation builder . After 250 years, that vexed question remains a source of friction and division. Phil mercer, bbc news, gisborne. A humpback whale has been spotted in the river thames near the dartford crossing.

Boris never ever gave me favouritism, never once did i ask him for a favour, never once did he write a letter of recommendation for me. The Prime Minister says he will talk to the white house about withdrawing diplomatic immunity for a woman involved in a car crash in which a teenager was killed. We would have tried to get her a suspended sentence so she could have carried on being a mum, so that she wasnt taken away from her own children. But forgiving her for leaving, im nowhere near.
