Perpetrator and Xxxxmph And Inland will is a land gale. We have had a lot of wet weather so since the Rainfall Event in North Wales we have had 90 millimetres, the monthly average about 130. Very little changes throughout the rest of day. It is drier than yesterday for Western Scotland and Northern Ireland but a cold wind onshore in Eastern Scotland with that rain, strong and gusty wind continuing, so branchs down, most certainly with the trees in full leaf and 12 111, well below what we would expect. That northerly winds sets up, so we could expect a frost for some of the glens of scotland but for many we keep a lot of cloud as we approach the first part of the weekend. So still a lot of cloud for england and wales as we start saturday, but it is a brightening process, a Drying Up is a brightening process, a Drying Up process as well and becomes less windy, however it looks as if we could see more rain, still more may rain to come on sunday. Still the strong winds as well, just blowing for eastern counties, eventually blowing the rains out the way, blowing the rains out the way, blowing in more sunshine, but given the strength of the May Sunshine at this time of year as we saw last week there will be a scattering of sharp showers, not nor all. 12 14 despite that strong sunshine, that is because the wind is once again bringing air down from the arctic. But it gets Cut Off quickly Saturday Night with a Ridge Of High Pressure and more widespread, so a bright start, hanging on to the drier Weatherfor North East start, hanging on to the drier weather for North East scotland, a wet morning for Northern Ireland, showers to follow, that rain through the afternoon making its way into scotland, Western Scotland, western england and wales and temperatures not much better, does it ever get drier . Well, for the start of next week we have low pressure with us, so more showers, but there isjust week we have low pressure with us, so more showers, but there is just a hint towards next weekend, that is the bank holiday weekend, we might see a Ridge Of High Pressure settling the weather down just a little. Thank you. A reminder of our top story. The Prime Minister says hes very concerned about the bbc� s handling of its 1995 interview with princess diana. Borisjohnson said the Corporations Leadership had to ensure nothing like it ever happened again. I can only imagine the feelings of the Royal Family, and i hope very much that the bbc will be taking every possible step to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Thats all from the Bbc News at one, so its goodbye from me, and on Bbc One we nowjoin the bbc� s news teams where you are. Good afternoon, its 1. 30pm and heres your latest sports news. Good afternoon, im Austin Halewood with your latest sports news. The second round of golf� s us Pga Championship is well under way in south carolina. Some of the leaders are already out on the course at kiawa island. Canadas Correy Conners was the overnight leader, but this course has been a test for the players. He dropped a shot on the first hole but got one back on his second. So hes still at 5 under par. Britains Sam Horsefield is two shots back on 3 under. Scotlands Martin Laird is on 2 under, he tees off later. As does rory mcilroy, he was one of the pre tournament favourites. He won the title the last time the us pga was held at the course nine years ago, but he wouldve known straight away that this first Tee Shot Wasnt going to end well. It went straight into the water. The start of a frustrating day that left him 3 over par eight shots off the lead overnight. Mcilroy starts his second round about 7pm this evening. Leicester Citys Premier League winning captain Wes Morgan says hell retire at The End of the season. Hes 37 now and his career peaked when he led 5,000 1 Outsiders Leicester to the Premier League title in 2016. And he came off the bench last week to help the foxes win their first fa cup. He played 324 times for The Club, and his nine years at the King Power Stadium have coincided with their most successful spell. Manchester united look like they will be without Harry Maguire for their Europa League final against villereal next week. United boss ole Gunnar Solskjaer said today that he doesnt expect maguire to be fit, although he hasnt given up all hope yet. The England Defender suffered an Ankle Ligament Injury earlier this month. Well, former United Boss Sir Alex Ferguson twice won the European Cup with The Club and as he thinks uniteds Star Quality Mightjust make the difference. I already think they are a decent team. I saw the against arsenal, they played well, but having said that, i think our boys have been playing well. Theyve got matchwinners in the team. Edison cavani, greenwood, they are winners. These boys win games for you, and i think going into a final, youve got that kind of Support System on your team that gives you a chance. Well the blue half of manchester are looking for European Success of their own next week. Fresh from winning his third Premier League title with manchester city, pep guardiolas eyes are now firmly on the Champions League final. City Face Chelsea in porto next saturday, and hes aiming to add the only trophy thats missing from his collection since arriving in manchester. Hes been speaking to Dan Walker for the bbc� s football focus. For us to be in the final of the Champions League, we have never been before. We have never been in semifinals. But once, now, never to be in the final is to be ready. But for sure, we want to win. The best way to win the final is to be ready. But still you have to play. It is a dream come true again, so, yes, for this club, never been before. Going to the final of the Champions League is a dream. So hopefully we can do a good performance. That will be some game. Finally. World number 3 Simona Halep will miss the french open, which starts at The End of the month in paris. The 2018 champion, whos been a finalist 3 times at roland garros, has a torn calf muscle. Halep had to be helped off the court at the italian open last week and said theres just not enough time for her to recover. Shes still hopeful though of playing at wimbledon, where shes the defending champion. Thats all the sport for now. You can find more on all those stories on the Bbc Sport website. Thats bbc. Co. Uk sport thank you very much indeed. We return to the news now. Borisjohnson has given his reaction to lord dysons report about the bbc, to prospects of a tariff free Trade Deal with australia and on the next stage of easing of the lockdown. This is what he said, firstly about the bbc. Well, i am obviously concerned by the findings of lord dysons report. Im very grateful to him for what hes done. I can only imagine the feelings of the Royal Family, and hes done. I can only imagine the feelings of the royalfamily, and i hope very much that the bbc will take every possible step to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Prince william was very scathing at the bbc Prince William was very scathing at the bbc Last Night in a statement. How do the bbc Last Night in a statement. How do you think that will affect the reputation of the bbc . Of the reputation of the bbc . Course, i the reputation of the bbc . Of course, i can only imagine the feelings and members of the Royal Family after lord dysons report, but i think its up to the bbc now to make sure nothing like this happens again. fin to make sure nothing like this happens again to make sure nothing like this happens again. On trade, can you confirm the happens again. On trade, can you confirm the government happens again. On trade, can you confirm the government is confirm the government is considering a Trade Deal with australia which would involve reaching australia which would involve reaching zero tariffs and zero quotas reaching zero tariffs and zero quotas within15 years . We reaching zero tariffs and zero quotas within 15 years . We are certainly looking quotas within 15 years . We are certainly looking at quotas within 15 years . We are certainly looking at doing quotas within 15 years . We are certainly looking at doing free | certainly looking at doing free Trade Deals with countries around the world, and here on this incredible aircraft carrier, which is really a symbol of what we want to do. I do think free Trade Deals presents a fantastic opportunity for our farmers, presents a fantastic opportunity for ourfarmers, for presents a fantastic opportunity for our farmers, for businesses of all kinds, from manufacturers, and i think its vital that as a great historic free Trading Nation that grew to prosperity thanks to free trade, and indeed, thanks to the royal navy, that we see these new openings not as threats but as opportunities. On two june the opportunities. On twoJune The 21st, freedom des, will people have to show any certification or a so called vexing passport that has been mentioned, to show a negative test, to attend any eventin show a negative test, to attend any event in a high risk set in .

We will let everybody know exactly what i let everybody know exactly what sorts of arrangements to expect for June The 21st, but what i can tell you, and just to stress, i am still seeing the thing in the data that leads me to think we are going to have to deviate from the road map, though obviously, we must remain cautious. But i see nothing which makes me think we have to deviate. But onjune the 21st And Vaccine Certification Or Covid status certification, i should say, people should bear in mind, i dont see any prospect of certificates to go into pubs are anything like that. Just to reiterate, June The 21st is looking very, very promising from your point is view . Will people have to wear masks after then . We will let people know as much as we possibly can by The End of the month about weddings and all that. We will try to let people know by The End of the month about exactly where we think will be on during the 21st, step four, but at the moment, i cant see anything that makes me think we are going to have to deviate from the road map. Though clearly, we must remain cautious in our approach. Borisjohnson speaking earlier. The the Scottish Government has decided to maintain Coronavirus Controls in glasgow, but to ease restrictions on moray, where the situation has improved significantly in recent days. The first minister, nicola sturgeon, also urged people not to travel to bedford, bolton, blackburn and darwen, to avoid contracting the indian variant. At the moment, anyone on a level one or level two area, which is most of scotland, can travel to any other level one or level two area within scotland or any other part of the uk. However, we know that there are particularly serious outbreaks of the April Campest02 variant in three english Local Authority Areas, bedford, blackburn, and darwin, and bradford. April 02. We are imposing Travel Restrictions between scotland and those three Local Authority Areas in england. If you are planning to stay with relatives or visit like byrne, bolton or bedford, you must delay your visit. We are not placing legal restrictions on travel to Greater Manchester more widely or areas around bedfordshire, but if you are planning to visit these areas in the next few days, please consider whether you need to make your visitor whether it can be delayed. Also remember that the situation with this new variant changes quickly so if you are travelling to somewhere else in the uk, look and see what the situation at your point of destination is. At the moment, we would advise against travel to any part of the uk where there is an active Health Protection Response associated with the April 02 variant. ,.

That sits alongside the figures of deaths, which are down over the past seven days. We will try and put those in some context, but for now, the estimated R Rate in england has edged up to between 0. 9 1. 1. Last year, a Black Man called george was killed by a police officer, not in minneapolis, but in dublin in ireland. George nkencho was shot outside his familys home. He had assaulted someone and police say he was carrying a knife. His family say he was in the midst of a Mental Health crisis. It was only the sixth fatal shooting by the irish police in 22 years. Bbc Population Reporter Stephanie Hegarty has been to dublin to see how the killing has exposed tensions in ireland as a new, to see how the killing has exposed tensions in ireland. On the afternoon their brother george was followed home by gardai, the irish police, gloria and grateful nkencho were in the house. I opened the door, im like trying to talk to them, like, thats my brother. Theyre screaming, theyre shouting, get back, get back. The door is closed, and then i had shots. And then i heard shots. He was shot dead by an officer on their doorstep. Police say they tried non lethal methods first. George was 27 and the eldest of five. George was someone that i always describe as a protector. He played the big Brother Role incredibly well, you know, he had four after him, everyone was protected and well advised. Recently, hed been suffering from Mental Health problems. As a mother, like, every day of my life, i dont think i can forget my first son. Fatal shootings by the gardai are rare. This was just the sixth in 22 years. An independent investigation has been launched by the ombudsman. Human rights groups have urged that the Investigation Look at racial bias. If there was a full and effective investigation, which is absolutely necessary in this case, it must look at the wider context as well, questions about how some members of our community engage with the police, people from ethnic minority backgrounds. This is a sprawling suburb of dublin city. In the past 20 years, its become one of the most diverse communities in ireland. But Georges Death has exposed tensions as these new communities comes of age. Ive been racially attacked many times, you know, and racially abused. Certain areas we couldnt go to, even if our friend lives in that area, we had to help him get home safe. An Eu Report in 2019 found that ireland has one of the highest rates of violence against black people in europe, second only to finland. Effective legislation on Hate Crime was only introduced in ireland in april. It is to become law by The End of the year. Right across ireland, we are seeing a real change in the demographics of our society. Do you think that your officers are equipped to deal with these new diverse ireland . I think we are. We already have diversity officers. Weve 281 across the country. In 2019, we launched our diversity strategy, which included how we will engage with diverse and minority communities, and also our response to Hate Crime. The Garda Ombudsman say the independent investigation is continuing and all relevant issues will be reviewed as part of it. For Georges Family and many in black irish community, the stakes are high for its outcome. Im worried that were not going to getjustice, you know, im worried that this is going to happen again, in a different scenario. Stephanie hegarty, Bbc News. The return of parkrun across the uk has been delayed by at least three weeks. The free event is a 5k run every Saturday Morning in green spaces across the country, but it hasnt been allowed to operate during the pandemic. The organisers had hoped it would resume on 5thjune But Agreement hasnt been reached with all landowners as tom williams, the chief Operating Officer at parkrun, explained to my colleaguejane hill. Working with actually over 600 landowners, weve been trying to agree a Start Date for when parkrun can come back en masse, as it were. Unfortunately, as of today, our Cut Off, we had about 260 270 of our 589 events by permission today, with just two weeks to go before the 5th ofjune. We felt that was too short a notice to give event teams, so we regrettably took the decision to delay until at least the 26th of june. And when you talk about landowners, for people who perhaps arent familiar with parkrun, who are we talking about . Some land is owned by local authorities. Is some of it completely private land which people let you use . What sort of people are we talking about . Yes, all sorts of landowners. About four fifths of our events are on local authority land, but some are in places like national Trust Land and so on. So where we have had the real challenges, they have probably been from two key areas, one, a misunderstanding at local level as to the legality of Parkruns Return and how it fits within government guidelines, and actually, we have been legally entitled to return since march the 29th, and the minister for Sport And Secretary of state for the have recently qualified that. And Secretary Of State for dcms have recently qualified that. And two, the risks of gathering people outdoors to be active. We think it is pretty clear the risks are exceptionally low, and the benefits are exceptionally high, so we call on all landowners to enable events like parkrun, but also other outdoor activities, to happen as soon as possible. And is part of your point that you want to, because this is entirely voluntary and volunteer led, you have Volunteer Marshals all around the course, is the point that you want to bring it back as it was pre pandemic . I am thinking particularly you want to keep that special spirit where you just turn up at nine oclock and you do it. You dont have to pre book in. You presumably feel you couldnt run a parkrun if you had to limit numbers or insist on pre booking, that sort of thing . Absolutely right. At the beginning of the pandemic, we were in contact with Jonathan Van Tam and jenny harries, both of whom are parkrunners, and Jonathan Van Tam described parkrun as one of the greatest Health Initiatives in the uk, and its such a great public Health Initiative because anyone can turn up and take part no matter what your age, background or ability. You can walk or run, volunteer or spectate, and just turn up. To come back in a way that prevented that would, in our opinion, break the Public Health benefits that are so important. We are not a run, we are not a race. We are a community public Health Initiative that gets people together, and that has to stay, and when we come back, we have to come back with that in mind. And so, you are aiming, we hope, for the 26th ofjune. It sounds like you still have an awful lot of talks to go between now and then . Yes, there is an incredible amount of work to do. Looking at our permissions today, once we have included landowners who are comfortable with us returning on the 26th ofjune, i think we are over 300 now, landowners who have given permission for parkrun to return. We dont have a Set Number for where we can sort of confirm that would go, but we probably need to get at least another 300 over the line before our two week Cut Off onjune 26, so were feeling really positive. We are humbled and touched by the outpouring of support from across the country that we see in the last few days, but we really do need everybody to focus and get on board with enabling outdoor activity of all types, notjust parkrun, enabling outdoor activity to return to parks and outdoor spaces as soon as possible. Yes. So, the 11th ofjune, is that the date we should be watching out for to see whether it is coming back . Yes, we will build towards that point, and thats when we will be able to say we have enough confidence to go on the on a typical saturday, we will have about 20,000 volunteers in the uk enabling parkruns to happen, and we feel we need to give those 20,000 people enough notice to plan their lives around it, fit around it, and we know that is not much notice at all, but we would not want to go any closer than that with any doubt in peoples minds. So yes, i think friday, 11june, if i have my dates right, is the point where we will be able to say, we have enough landowners over the line, we will go on the 26th ofjune, or, unfortunately, we havent, it is still a work in progress and we hope to return sometime in the future. Tom williams from parkrun. Every year, thousands of young footballers enter academies at professional football clubs with the aim of eventually making it onto the senior team. However, only a few get that far and for those left behind, the Mental Health impact can be significant. Alex howell has been to Swansea City to find out about their new approach to supporting young players on and off the pitch. Its the pinnacle of sport, but one very few footballers get to experience. Under 1 of Academy Footballers will go on to play top flight professional football. The shock of rejection can be very real. The Football Journey is hard and everyone tells you only 1 make it. But, as a player, you always think thats not me, surely not. Swansea City Academy Player ali knows about the pressures of trying to make it. Youre getting judged every single day on every single thing you are doing. A lot of People Cant Handle that pressure and Cant Handle the Mental Stress that comes out of it. I had this time yesterday. Just found out obviously what people are getting contracts. And people like to put a face on and think its ok, but Deep Down those boys are gutted. That is their dream. For a lot of them, that is gone now. And it takes a lot of mental toughness to be able to pick yourself back up from there. As a child, Alis Family came to the uk after fleeing war torn iraq. He wants more to be done across the sport to support young players. The first thing people come up with is they are on this amount of money, or all they do is kick a football every day for a living. Theres a lot more that comes with it. We are just normal people, at The End of the day. External pressures have increased for modern day professionals with the use of social media, and the number of young players making it from Academy Level to professional level remains low. So off the Pitch Support is something that all clubs at every Level Need to think about. Swansea city have partnered with mental Health Organisation beyond the white line. Imagine coming in at eight years old, nine years old and you are in that bubble until you are 18. And potentially, then, you are suddenly cast out into society, ill prepared for that transition. It is quite a shock. Beyond the white line provides Money Advice and mental Health Support to players and is working with the Football Association of wales. The longer Term View is we really do bring systemic change to the way in which professional sport treats the people within it. All this focus on profit and performance, we often forget the people. There is a Human Cost and we want to address that. In recent years, there has been increased focus on Mental Health in sport and football, helped in part by Prince William, who has shone a light on the issue. Injury led Tojeremy Whiston being released from manchester citys academy. Despite trials at swansea, last year he was found dead at his family home. He was 18. He was a funny lad, we spoke in the Changing Room and a few of the boys were quite close to him. So when i heard about that, that did really shock the system and that did affect me quite a bit. As the season closes, difficult decisions are being made. Players across the country will be going into the summer having been released. In uncertain times, support off the field could be as important as support on it. Now its time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. Hello. It feels more like autumn, i think, than late spring. Its cool, its wet, and it is windy. This is the extent of the clouds swirling around, and an unseasonably deep area of low pressure currently sitting across the british isles. It was with us yesterday and is with us for the remainder of today, Producing Gales and gusting winds up to 90 mph at the needles and the isle of wight. Its even in some other coastal areas, 60 70, and 50mph inland, a land gale, very unusual at this time of year. It will stay windy and wet, those wins coming down from the north across scotland, so colder here too compared with yesterday, and wetter weather as you can see circulating into Central Areas. Temperatures are 4 5 degrees down on where they should be at this time of year, and tempered by the wind, which will start to slowly ease, particularly in the west overnight, which is also where we see clearer skies developing. Not as wet here as it was yesterday, but it will be chilly at night. A touch of frost and northern scotland, where many Central Areas of scotland, it stays cloudy and windy with more rain. Eventually on saturday, for most, it will become less windy, drier and brighter with more showers, before more Rain Rolls in for the second half of the weekend. It wont be windy, but the wind will still be very brisk nearly north Sea Coast Tomorrow morning, pushing the rain out of the way. Following, much more promise of sunshine, but equally, this time of year, with chilly air on a strong May Sunshine, we will see though showers developing. Only 12 14 once again, that is the wind is coming down from the chilly place up in the north, in the arctic, which we have become so used to. Then through Saturday Night, a brief Ridge Of High Pressure, so a colder night with more widespread frost, and then on sunday, our next area of rain to Northern Ireland, with a wet morning. That rain then crosses the Irish Sea into western england and wales, and the west of scotland, with showers following behind. Brightness and dryness towards the North East of scotland, holding on sunday, our next area of rain to Northern Ireland, with a wet morning. Temperatures no great shakes, as you can see. Into next week, low pressure still with us, so still a case of sunny spells and showers, but with the winds easing, the temperatures might creep up a few degrees. More on the website.
