Come out and it will feel pleasantly warm. But is the theme for the weather for the rest of the week. It is because of low pressure. The air is because of low pressure. The air is very unstable allowing big shower closed to develop and we also have slightly more persistent rain across the far South West of england. Elsewhere it is sunshine and showers. Some showers through the afternoon will be heavy with some Hail And Thunder mixing in and across the far north of scotland more in the way of cloud and some more in the way of cloud and some more persistent rain. But in the sentient pleasantly warm, up to 17 degrees in places. Through this Evening And Tonight the rain across the South West of england is likely to move further north into southern and eastern wales and maybe the midlands. Elsewhere skies will clear and the showers fade. It will get a little bit chilly for some but the vast majority avoiding a frost into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we still have Cloud And Rain affecting southern parts of england. More cloud running into North East Scotland and parts of North East England. Elsewhere another of those sunshine and showers days again with the showers heavy. Signs of them starting to turn a bit colder for some north eastern areas. For The End of the week we find ourselves in a bit of a no Mans Land between weather systems. A bit of a no Mans Land between weathersystems. For a bit of a no Mans Land between weather systems. For most the wind very light but across northern and eastern areas just hints of a northerly wind trying to bring in some colder air. It is going to make things feel markedly more chilly across north and East Scotland and North East England on friday. Further west another of those sunshine and hefty showers days but the lower temperatures across north eastern areas perhaps even 10 degrees for aberdeen. North eastern areas perhaps even 10 degrees foraberdeen. Into north eastern areas perhaps even 10 degrees for aberdeen. Into saturday this band of rain moving through and then low pressure resets itself for then low pressure resets itself for the weekend so we are back to that sunshine and showers theme. The showers quite widely scattered across the uk. You could see them just about anywhere. In between some sunshine and in that sunshine feeling pleasantly warm. A reminder of our top story.

Uefa are hoping to confirm porto as the Host City for the all English Champions league final between Manchester City and chelsea.

Pep guardiola says this Seasons Premier League title is the hardest of the three hes won in his five years as Manchester City manager. Hes done it without a Front Line striker, seen his squad disrupted because of covid and negotiated early season upsets, as many wrote them off. And there is still the Champions League final to come. This league title, for me as a city fan, it feels like something very unique, because it has been a tough Year Notjust for the players, but the whole world itself. As a fan, you consider at home watching the team and you think, they are playing again, they are playing again, they have done it for six to eight months consistently. To have the level of performances they have, winning 20 games in a row at the turn of the year, was special. They have incredibly talented players in their but they work hard for Each Other. They have really found a way to understand their roles and understand their roles and understand their roles towards Each Other and the team itself. Me, it has been special because even, it was january or february when you has been special because even, It Wasjanuary or february when you see kevin de bruyne go down, Sergio Aguero go down, two of the best players in the world, but in that time city won every game. That says a lot about the collective, because when theres guys play, it takes them to another level, but when they dont, the quality remains the same and credit is due to them.

Thats bbc. Co. Uk sport and on the Bbc Sport App and i will be back with another update in the next hour. A full Public Inquiry into the governments handling of the Coronavirus Pandemic has been announced by borisjohnson. The Prime Minister told the House Of Commons that all key aspects of the uks response would be placed under the microscope. He said the government was fully committed to ensuring the whole of the uk was better prepared for any future pandemic. Mrjohnson said he expected it would start in spring next year. Our country, like every country, has found itself in the teeth of the gravest pandemic for a century, imposing heartbreaking sorrow on families across the world, with more than 127,000 lives lost in the united kingdom alone. And our grief would have been still greater without the daily heroism of the men and women of our national Health Service, the protection of our vaccines, already in the arms of over two thirds of adults across the uk, and the dedication of everyone who has followed the rules and sacrificed so much that we cherish. Amid such tragedy, the state has an obligation to examine its actions as rigorously and as candidly as possible and to learn every lesson for the future, which is why i have always said that, when the time is right, there should be a full and independent enquiry. So, mr speaker, i can confirm today that the government will establish an independent public enquiry on a statutory basis with full powers under the Enquiries Act of 2005, including the ability to compel the production of all relevant materials and take oral evidence in public under oath. In establishing the enquiry, we will work closely with the devolved administrations, as we have done throughout our pandemic response. And my right honourable friend, the chancellor of the Duchy Of Lancaster has this morning spoken to the first ministers of scotland and wales and the first and Deputy Ministers of Northern Ireland to begin those conversations. Every part of our united kingdom has suffered the ravages of this virus and every part of the state has pulled together to do battle against it. And if we are to recover as one team uk, as we must, then we should also learn lessons together in the same spirit. So we will consult the devolved administrations before finalising the scope and detailed arrangements so that this enquiry can consider all key aspects of the uk response. The labour leader, sir keir starmer, welcomed the inquiry but said it should begin as soon as possible. Those families have searing questions about what happened, the decisions, what went wrong, why what happened happened to their families. So it is good that the government is consulting the devolved authorities, of course it is. But the government should also consult the families, because this enquiry will only work if it has the Support And Confidence of the families. And i urge the prime Minister And Government to consult the families at the earliest possible moment. They should also confront those on the Front Line who had done so much, whether it is the nhs, Social Care or other Front Line workers we have seen. Because they too deserve answers to the very many questions that they have, and they have done so much in this pandemic stop mr speaker, the next question is timing. The principle is that it should be as soon as possible. I understand enquiry will take time to set up. Of course it will. But why could it not be later this year . Why can it not start earlier . I want to press the Prime Minister on one particular point. He says the enquiry will start in spring 2022. Is that the opening of the enquiry, the beginning of taking of evidence, spring 2022, or is that starting work in setting up enquiry. They are two very different things. If it is the latter, the enquiry will not be for many months afterwards. If it is to formally open enquiry in spring 2022, i would to formally open enquiry in spring 2022, iwould be to formally open enquiry in spring 2022, i would be grateful for him to make that clear. Then there are the questions of the times of references. That will take time and there will have to be consultation with the devolved administrations and the families of those on the Front Line. But crucially with this parliament. This house must be involved with what the terms of reference will be. There will be different views across the house and they must be heard because this has to have the confidence of all in this chamber. To have the confidence of all in this chamber. ,. ,. , this chamber. Those questions about timin had this chamber. Those questions about timing had been this chamber. Those questions about timing had been echoed this chamber. Those questions about timing had been echoed by this chamber. Those questions about timing had been echoed by the timing had been echoed by the Co Founder of the covid 19 bereaved families forjustice group, Joe Families for justice group, joe goodman, families forjustice group, joe goodman, who says the announcement of enquiry into the handling of the Covid Pandemic is a huge relief but that spring 2022 is simply too late to begin. That reactionjust in. Tomorrow the national Health Service in england publishes its latest data on Waiting Lists for routine operations and cancer treatment. We know the backlog has grown while hospitals have had to focus on fighting coronavirus. Tomorrow well be broadcasting live from a london hospital, hearing from doctors and patients there and around the country on how serious the backlog has become and what the solutions might be, as we ask the question, whats next for the nhs . India has has suffered another Record Rise in coronavirus deaths over the last 2a hours. More than 4,200 people died taking the total number of past the 250,000 mark while there were nearly 350,000 new cases. The World Health Organization says the Covid Variant found in india is now of global concern because of the speed with which it spreads. The bbc� s vikas pandey, along with cameraman anshul verma, sent us this Special Report on how the pandemic is affecting the capital delhi. This is delhi, usually a bustling and vibrant city, which has been my home for more than a decade. But i can hardly recognise it now. Just look at the lines of ambulances. Thats the scene so common outside any hospital you go to. It has the look of a city under siege. Anyone you speak to has lost a Family Member or a friend to covid, or knows somebody who has. And its just not delhi. Several indian towns, cities and villages are witnessing similar scenes. It seems the citys the very existence is now limited to four places. Hospitals, medicine stores, Oxygen Refuelling stations and crematoriums. We are going to go to four such places in the city today, but our very first stop is Gtb Hospital in delhi. Families here are constantly bringing in patients, and it shows the wave is not slowing down in delhi. Some of them are able to get a bed, but the most sick ones, they have to be taken from one hospital to another, because the city ran out of Icu Beds at least two weeks ago. The visuals you are seeing are from a hospital in gurugram. It ran out of oxygen, and the Hospital Staff abandoned the patients. At least six patients died, devastating the families. Sometimes you are able to help people, but often you are not. So many people have stories of sheer helplessness, of not being able to find a bed for a sick person, and then later learning about his or her death. I, too, have a similar story. When i couldnt find a Ventilator Bed for a loved one, and he died. Our second stop is an Oxygen Refuelling station. When Families Cant find a hospital bed, they look to procure one such Oxygen Cylinder to help their patients keep breathing. But even getting one cylinder is a difficult task. So many people here have been standing for five to six hours to get a cylinder. But theres no guarantee they will get one. Remdesivir . So, we are now outside one of the busiest Medicine Markets in delhi. Medicines like Remdesivir And Tislelizumab are not available here. 0urfinal Stop is this crematorium in delhi. This one, and so many others, saw long queues in the past two or three weeks. I remember a friend sending me a text and asking me if i had a contact in a crematorium. Because he could not get his aunt cremated, who had died of covid. It was the most heartbreaking text i have ever received. Another friend told me that his father was cremated along with 20 other bodies, and hejust did not know at which fire to look at to say his final goodbye. As he put it, there was no dignity even after death. For my friend, and many like him, it will take a long time before they can call delhi their home again. And the scars this wave has left may never heal. Vikas pandey with that report. The headlines on Bbc News. There are warnings of a full Scale War by the un, amid deadly exchanges of fire between Israel And Gaza. The violence there has claimed at least 43 palestinian and six israeli lives. Borisjohnson announces an independent inquiry into the governments handling of the covid crisis will start next spring. The Uk Economy shrankd by 1. 5 in the first three months of the year but gathered speed in march as Lockdown Restrictions eased. Police are continuing to search a cafe in gloucester in the linked to the disappearance of a teenage girl, who is suspected to have been murdered by the serial killer Fred West. Officers were called to the clean Plate Cafe by a film production company, which said it had found evidence that a body could be buried at the site. 15 year old Mary Bastholm had worked at the property before she went missing in 1968. Phil mackie reports. Its 53 years since Mary Bastholm was last seen alive. In 1968, there was a massive Investigation But Nothing was found. The 15 year old had completely vanished. Happy as far as we know. No reason at all why shed run away from home, certainly. In 1994, police discovered the first of 12 bodies of women and young girls who were killed in and around gloucester. Three bodies have been found here, including the Daughter And Lodger of the accused man. The serial killer Fred West had been due to stand trial for their murders when he killed himself in prison. A Team Filming A Documentary made a discovery at this cafe, which may provide the answer to her disappearance. Back in the 1960s, Mary Bastholm was a waitress in this cafe and Fred West was a customer who carried out some renovation work. So, there have long been suggestions that he killed her and buried her here. Gloucestershire police have described it as potentially a significant development, and say they are likely to be at the site for several weeks. Marys family have been asked to be left alone and to be given time to grieve. Phil mackie, Bbc News, gloucester. The compulsory microchipping of cats, a ban on the export of live animals for slaughter and a crackdown on Puppy Smuggling are among new Animal Welfare Measures being published by the government today. The aim is to provide better protection for domesticated and wild creatures in the uk and abroad, and has been welcomed by campaigners. 0ur environment correspondent, Claire Marshall has the details. Ok, i think shes calm enough now. At the bath cats and dogs home, Vet Nicola prepares to fit a new arrival with a microchip. I know its a bit noisy. Shadow has cat flu, so it has to be done here in isolation. Thats in many of these cats have clearly been well cared for. They may well have owners who are searching for them. But if theyre not microchipped, like around 2. 6 million pet cats in the uk, its much harder for them to be reunited. Theres a good boy. Todays announcement is really welcome here. What do you think about it being made compulsory for cats to have chips . Oh, it will be the best thing. I think, as a vet, i have been a vet for seven years, and theres been so many cases ive seen where i wish wed have had an owner sooner. So, yeah, absolutely the best thing, i think it will help with welfare, i think it will help with owners, as well. This isntjust about helping cats. This signals a broader cultural shift towards understanding the intelligence of and the needs of animals. Its part of the governments wide ranging Action Plan for animal welfare. Environment Secretary George Eustace visited Battersea Dogs Home to launch it. There is a really important overarching policy that we have here, which is to recognise that animals are sentient beings, and recognising that to have a new animal sentience committee, that will scrutinise Government Policy in the future to ensure that, as we develop new policies, and as we improve our policies, were constantly thinking about how we can enhance animal welfare. Also in the plan, the ban on the sale of ivory in the uk will be brought into force, along with a ban on the import of Hunting Trophies from endangered species. There will be new Import Rules to help fight Puppy Smuggling. And vertebrates, animals with a backbone, will have a legal right to have their feelings recognised. The plan also outlaws the exports of live animals for fattening and slaughter. But what about food brought in from abroad . In australia, you can have Journey Times for animals in excess of 2a hours, without access to feed or water. Its ridiculous, increasing standards in this country but not applying that standard to countries that were looking to do Trade Deals with. Thats just hypocrisy. But others are happy with the plans. Back at the bath cats and dogs home, over the last 2a hours, kittens have arrived. Their mother, tess, was a stray. She and her young will all be chipped before new homes are found. Claire marshall, Bbc News, bath. Little mix have made history by becoming the first Girl Band ever to win best british group at the brit awards.

There people that were very close to us in an entirely almost normal way. And it was great. Colin paterson, Bbc News, londons o2 arena. Now its time for a look at the weather with ben rich. Hello, it is another of those very mixed and changeable weather days. One sunshine one minutes, the next 0ne Sunshine one minutes, the next Heavy Downpour comes along, and this will take us through the rest of the week. It is because of low pressure that has been with us for the last couple of days. Underneath it, the air is unstable which allows the shallower clouds to bubble up. It is sunshine and showers for the rest of the day, some heavy with thunder. More persistent rain across the north of scotland and across the South West of england, perhaps creeping into south east wales by The End of the day. These are the temperatures through the first part of the evening. Through tonight, this Rain Will Pivot around the west country, south east wales, the West Midlands as well, the north will keep part of that cloud. Some clear skies in Northern England and temperatures could drop low enough for a touch of Ground Frost here and there. The vast majority will avoid that into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we can expect lots of showers and wales may be getting up into the midlands. Also cloud pushing into Scotland And North eastern parts of england. Heavy thundery showers, but temperatures for most 13 to 16 degrees. As we end the week, we end p degrees. As we end the week, we end up in a no Mans Land between weather systems, up in a no Mans Land between weathersystems, but up in a no Mans Land between weather systems, but we will attempt to bring something of a northerly wind in across northern and north eastern parts of the uk. That will bring a cooler feel here and a lot of cloud into parts of scotland, northern and eastern parts of england, further west you are, we should see sunshine. A scattering of showers breaking out in these areas. Temperatures struggling for some of these coastal areas, higher values further west at 15 or 16. Into the weekend, rain will push its way through during Friday Night and into saturday and low pressure Re Establishes and that returns us to that familiar mix of sunny spells and showers. Showers could drop up anywhere and some will be heavy with Hail And Thunder. Sunshine in between and in the sunshine it will feel fairly warm. This is Bbc News. The headlines. The un warn of a full Scale War amid deadly exchanges of fire between Israel And Gaza. The violence has claimed at least 43 palestinian and six israeli lives. Translation they hurt citizens, police officers, burn houses, cars, synagogues. Its obvious we cannot accept this, and no country would accept it, and certainly not us. Translation if they want to escalate, resistance is ready. If they want to stop, the resistance is ready. If they want to move out of jerusalem, the resistance is ready.
