probably made the right decision. and coming up on bbc news, two of european football's heavyweights, france and belgium, go head—to—head at the euros with kick—off this afternoon in dusseldorf. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. a head teacher convicted of grooming and sexually abusing four girls has been sentenced to 17 years in prison. neil foden was the head of one school in bangor in north wales, and strategic head of another. he'd been a well—known and well—respected figure in the local community before his offending was exposed. made a superhead in 2021, headteacher neil foden was a regular on the tv and radio news. none of us know for certain exactly how their work is going to be assessed... but in september last year, he was arrested after a girl came forward with allegations of sexual abuse. her evidence would prove pivotal. because she was quite involved with the defendant, she had a lot of evidence to give, not only in terms of her own account, but also photographic evidence, forensic evidence, text messages, photographs, all of that. in the following weeks, more girls came forward, exposing a pattern of grooming and abuse, including, in one victim's case, trips away where they would have sex. foden was a very charismatic individual. he was an individual who people respected. who people trusted and, effectively, he used that to his advantage. during the trial, it emerged just how trusted he was. in 2019, the court heard foden was seen hugging and getting into his car with a girl who would later turn out to be one of his victims. his colleagues, concerned about his reputation, contact the local authority, gwynedd council. but because no complaints or allegations had been made, the council didn't investigate. instead, foden was spoken to over the phone. it's something one parent, whose daughter was not a victim but did have one—to—one contact with foden, can't forgive. it is absolutely shocking that gwynedd council didn't treat that with more formality at the time. that could have stopped it. that's the key factor. nothing changed in his behaviour. in a statement gwynedd council said: it was appalled by foden�*s crimes and paid tribute to the courage of his victims. this former school governor left before the offending began. when i heard the news, i was... ..shocked. and then over the months. i have been concerned that — did we miss something? did i, as the governor— with responsibility, miss something? and that is really upsetting. sorry. an independent child practice review will now be held. but for neil foden�*s victims, today marks an important milestone. you can find out more about the case in the abuser headteacher, available to watch on the bbc iplayer. there are just three more days of campaigning left before thursday's general election. by the end of this week, the shape of the new government will be clear. and as voting approaches, the parties are trying to gather as much support

campaign. what can we expect? well, you heard snippets of all of the party leaders' key messages. prepare to hear them over the coming couple of days again and again and again. because this is it. they are on the home stretch now. this is a moment where the general election campaign doesn't widen in scope, it narrows, and they all focus on their core messages. notice for the conservative party in their particular electoral space that they find themselves, it's a kind of multidirectional closing moment. they are trying to fend off perform to their right and labour to the left and also the liberal democrats —— fend off reform. that is even before you think about scotland and wales. they have a complicated attempt to simplify their message in these closing days. for the labour party, their message is ultra—simple— change that one word they have been stressing since the very first afternoon of this general election campaign. they are adding, as you heard, another element. they say if you want to change, you have to vote for it. expect to hear that phrase again and again— you have to vote for it. that betrays a glint of concerning the labour campaign that some of their potential voters might see this election result is a foregone conclusion and therefore stay at home or vote for someone else. will those closing messages from the main parties and smaller parties work? what will voters make of them? how will our electoral system, first past the post, affect what it means in your constituency? we will find out on thursday. irate we will find out on thursday. we will, thank _ we will find out on thursday. we will, thank you, henry. elsewhere on the campaign trail, reform uk has said it plans to "fiercely guard women's spaces". that's according to the party's spokeswoman ann widdecombe. she has also said the party will support policies to improve childcare and introduce transferable tax allowances for households. the green party of england and wales has pledged £22 billion to fix what they've described as "crumbling hospitals". speaking to the bbc, co—leader adrian ramsay also reiterated his position for a 1% tax on wealth and assets over £10 million. france's national rally party has taken a commanding lead in the first round of the country's snap general election. president emmanuel macron is now calling for centrist and left wing parties to unite — rather than split the vote — as the far—right hopes to win a parliamentary majority in the second and final round next weekend. our paris correspondent, andrew harding, has the latest. singing. overnight protests in paris. these people are angry and worried about the success of the national rally, a hard—right party that has now entered the mainstream of french politics, winning over a third of the vote in sunday's election, a dominant performance. this morning, a subdued sense of shock in the french capital. the newspapers talking of the end of an era and the national rally being at the gates of power. cheering. the national rally�*s leader, marine le pen, is hoping her party can now form france's next government. that would mark a seismic shift in france. the rn, as it's known here, is an anti—immigrant, eurosceptic party with a history of ties to the kremlin. le pen's 28—year—old protege, jordan bardella, is aiming to be france's next prime minister. after yesterday's vote, president emmanuel macron has called for centrist and left—wing parties to form a united front to keep the rn out of power. will it work? it's going to be a struggle. many french are worried about their country's deep political polarisation. the road ahead will become clearer in a week's time when a second round of voting will determine france's future. there could be months of political deadlockjust as the country is preparing to host the olympic games. andrew harding, bbc news, paris. let's speak now to our correspondent in paris, hugh schofield. hugh, what's the mood there today? well, this was definitely a victory for the national rally. increasing its share of the vote and seemingly on this never ending rise. but there is no guarantee that it will be able to achieve in the second round of the vote, which is next sunday what it wants, which is an absolute majority in parliament. a second round approaching now in which things could turn out rather differently. that is because in constituencies across the country, the national rally will be up against either a centrist or left winger or both and it's more than possible that in many constituencies, the anti—far right vote of the anti rn vote will combine to keep them out. —— or the anti—rn. it is buoyant if you are a supporter of the national rally and depressed if you are not. the situation is not as straightforward as it is seen from the very clear triumph they had yesterday. a reflection of that is the fact that the paris stock market has picked up today after suffering a lot of losses in the run—up to the election on sunday. that is because the markets are factoring in now a sense that the national rally is unlikely to get this overall absolute majority in the second round next sunday. that is something they feared because they say that if the national rally comes to power, it will mean unfunded spending and that is a big risk for markets. for now, they seem to be factoring in the consideration that it is unlikely to get that outright majority. what that means instead is a hung parliament and chaos of another nature. ., , parliament and chaos of another nature.

government and the airline. ba flight 149 was heading for malaysia when it landed in the gulf state, hours after iraqi forces invaded nearly 35 years ago. will vernon has the story. the charred remains of british airways flight 149. the aircraft landed in kuwait for a refuelling stop on the 2nd of august 1990, just hours after iraqi forces invaded the country. 367 passengers and crew on board were taken hostage. as the first gulf war raged, some of the hostages were subject to mistreatment, sexual assault, and starvation. they were placed at strategic location as human shields to protect against western air strikes. now, 3a years on, almost 100 of the former hostages are launching legal action against the uk government and british airways, claiming their lives were deliberately put in danger. to be let down by this company that i trusted implicitly, by the government that i trusted implicitly, i feel very foolish that i trusted them, of course, but very, very, very angry that they treated us with such disdain. the uk ambassador to kuwait at the time had called the foreign office to warn that iraqi forces had crossed the border, but the plane was not re—routed. british airways says it was not told about the invasion. lawyers say they have evidence that flight 149 was used to insert a covert special forces team into kuwait for a top—secret mission. the uk government has previously denied this. there is evidence that flight ba 149 was used to insert a special ops team of former special forces and security services, to be deployed into kuwait, using flight ba 149, a passenger aircraft, despite the risk that it posed to passengers and crew. cheering. after five months of captivity, the hostages were eventually released, but many suffered long—term psychiatric and physical harm from their ordeal. the claimants now say they hope to finally see justice done, 34 years after ba 1495 final flight into a war zone. will vernon, bbc news. the

down after being left out of team gb�*s olympic squad for paris this month. gareth southgate's england squad are looking ahead to saturday's euro 2024 quarterfinal against switzerland, after narrowly beating slovakia 2—1. they had trailed for much of the game, saved only by a last—minutejude bellingham equaliser and a winning goal from harry kane in extra time. john watson reports. don't put away the flags just yet. england are staying on in germany thanks tojude bellingham, a player everyone wants on and off the field. with their tournament almost over it was bellingham's vital intervention in another lacklustre display that saved england fifth from an embarrassing exit. that was nail—biting. i mean, i really didn't think we were going to get through. i thought the roof was going to come off. it was just unbelievable. it was unbelievable, yeah. have you been dreaming ofjude? yeah, he's amazing. well, we're birmingham boys so we knew about him from the start. his goal, followed by harry kane's winner, securing the victory over slovakia that means that fans can stay on in germany for another week at least. six nights here now, yeah. i've done three here, and i've just booked another six because we are quite central to the grounds with that. yeah, i'd love to come back out for the quarters. - we've been out for twoj and a half weeks, done all the england games, _ and, yeah, i got the text last night from the fiancee saying two - and a half weeks is long enough, i think it's time - for you to come home. ten—year—old jackson, have correctly predicted the scoreline before last night's game, believes england can go all the way. how far do you think england can go, then, in the tournament? i think they can go to the final. injackson we trust! laughter. the question now, will this be the moment that sparks england's tournament into life? cheering. yes, it was excruciating, wasn't it, mostly, last night. most of that match, barthat mostly, last night. most of that match, bar that brilliant moment, that moment of magic from jude bellingham towards the end of the game. it was extraordinary both in its timing and its execution, but the england manager gareth southgate will know he can't solely rely on moments of individual brilliance in that quarterfinal to moments of individual brilliance in that quarter final to come against switzerland on saturday. the england players have returned to training today, all eyes on england defender luke shaw to see if he will be available to start, he has been selected despite being injured for most of the tournament so far but if he can play he will offer some much needed balance on the left—hand side for england. worth pointing out that the last 16 matches continue today. we see portugal in action against slovenia, and one of the pretournament favourites, france, they take on belgium in what is arguably the standout tie of the last 16 matches so far. we will see two more games tomorrow as well, also last 16 ties before the quarterfinal line—up will then be settled upon and decided. and then of course, all eyes will inevitably turn to that game to come on saturday with england in action against switzerland. fascinating to see what changes gareth southgate makes, if at all, to his starting line—up, if at all, any. but probably for the best, we have five days to wait, because we could probably all do with giving our nerves a well earned rest after last night. studio: ithink nerves a well earned rest after last night. studio: i think so, nerves a well earned rest after last night. studio: ithink so, thank you, john watson. the coastguard has confirmed that the search has been called off for a 14—year—old boy who went missing while swimming in the river mersey near liverpool.

continuing their search for the teenager, who hasn't been seen since yesterday evening. the search involved a helicopter, the coastguard, the police and fire, and this morning we could see the rnli lifeboat close to the radar tower over my shoulder, focusing its efforts there. that's where the 14—year—old went swimming with a group. when the rest of the group left the water they noticed he was no longer with them and that's when they called for help. this is a popular spot, the antony gormley statues are here, more than 100,000 visitors come to crosby beach over the summer but there are clear signs warning that waters are not suitable for babies and young people should not swim. in fact, the conditions can be dangerous and quite treacherous with the water quite choppy at times. what we have had this morning our confirmation from the coastguard that for the time being they have stood down the search for the missing 14—year—old. yunus mulla, thank you. hurricane beryl, which is closing in on the caribbean, is being called "potentially catastrophic" by weather forecasters, and people who live there are making emergency preparations. this is the predicted path of the hurricane, heading towards barbados, where its expected to make landfall later, before moving towards grenada, jamaica and then mexico during the course of the week. beryl is the most powerful hurricane ever recorded injune, and of a strength not normally seen until much later in the season. our reporter thomas magill has the story. the eye of the storm — this is hurricane beryl, seen from space heading towards the caribbean. in barbados, where its expected to hit first, people are being advised to stock up and stay home. a warning many are taking seriously. i have my extra foodstuff, my batteries, my battery lights and so on, so i'm well prepared. the windows are already secured, boarded up, everything like that. and we've got all the water and everything secure in the house. across the caribbean, residents have been boarding up their homes and businesses, stocking up on fuel, and battening down the hatches as forecasters describe this now category three hurricane as extremely dangerous. we're expecting multiple life—threatening hazards with beryl as it moves through the windward islands. we have the potential for catastrophic wind damage, with the eyewall of a major hurricane moving through the area, especially between saint vincent and grenada, including the grenadines. this part of the world is well—used to storms, but this is the strongest on record forjune. in saint vincent and the grenadines, people have been ordered to stay at home and have been told to prepare for the worst. i want everybody in saint vincent and the grenadines to take this matter very seriously. there are some persons who are hoping for the best, but we all have to prepare for the worst. for now, the sea is calm, but people here know that won't last, with hurricane beryl expected to hit these islands later today. thomas magill, bbc news. the family and friends of missing teenagerjay slater have said they'll stay in tenerife to continue looking for him. two weeks afterjay�*s disappearance, police on the island confirmed they had called off their search. the civil guard said it would still pursue any fresh leads or evidence that came to light. a planned strike at the uk's biggest steel works has been called off. members of the unite union were due to stage a walk—out at the port talbot site next week, in a dispute with owner tata over job losses. tata

there is still, though, one big unknown. andy murray's fans are waiting anxiously to see if he'll play in this year's tournament, as he recovers from back surgery. if he does, it's likely to be the last time he'll appear at the all england club before retiring. joe wilson has the details. wimbledon is just how you left it, how you remember it. the familiar scenery and andy murray, fighting time to be fit. walking ok, remember him at queens? after this, a cyst was removed from his spine. it had been squashing a nerve, affecting his leg. there's a chance now, he thinks, of playing wimbledon singles, more likely doubles, later. i'm not so concerned about the amount of, like the length of the match and stuff. it's just whether i can feel my leg properly. if i can feel my leg properly i don't care whether it's five sets or three sets, singles or doubles, but that's what i'm just waiting, you know, for the nerve to fully resolve. yeah, before i'm able to play properly again. well, after all these years, andy murray understandably still commands our attention. but, you know, men's tennis is changing. recognise this man? italy's jannik sinner is italy's top seed for the first time. carlos alcaraz defends his wimbledon title as the reigning french champion too. he's only 21. so is this player. break point, raducanu. after all her injuries, emma raducanu is ranked 135 in the world. she's on centre court today and genuinely, crucially, she's happy. the last few weeks have obviously been great for me. i've had some good wins, i've had some matches which is, i'd say, different to the last couple of years, and i'm feeling very confident about things and relaxed. but i think that i'm just feeling free, i'm feeling light, i'm feeling like i'vejust got a big enjoyment. katie boulter is britain's number one, in the form of her life, recent winner at nottingham, seeded at wimbledon. and if you can't dream at the start of the fortnight, when can you? joe

playing proper points as he tries to work out whether or not he is fit enough to play in matches this week. we expect an announcement from him one way or another later this afternoon. if the 37—year—old does play it will be his final wimbledon appearance, he says he wants closure at the all england club. as for the fans, some are so desperate to see their home hero in action here one last

got stuck in traffic, the palace promised to rearrange for another day. now, the young campaigner has had his special moment, and met the queen at buckingham palace. joining him was 11—year—old lyla o'donovan, who's raised money for seriously ill children while living with a brain tumour. our royal correspondent daniela relph has the story. with buckingham palace as the venue, the invitation to summer garden parties are sought after. hosted by the king and queen, the guest list is dominated by those who've made a contribution to charity and the community. but on the 8th of may, for this garden party, a very important guest was missing. tony hudgell was due to be there. he had suffered life—changing injuries due to abuse as a baby and had both legs amputated. his fundraising had got him onto the garden party guest list, but it didn't go to plan. during the journey to london, tony and his family posted on social media, "stuck on m20 for the last two hours, won't be making the king's garden party". buckingham palace saw the post and replied, "sorry to hear this, tony, we were looking forward to seeing you, too. fancy trying again another day? leave it with us". and true to their word, they rescheduled. really nice to get you here today. we thought we'd give you a special garden party. i was supposed to go to a garden party. but we got stuck in traffic. my mum put out a tweet. the queen's team said, "so sad that you didn't make the garden party today". we found out that i was having a private one with another person called lyla. lyla also joined tony for the personal party with the queen. she has a rare brain tumour and was in hospital on the day she was due at the palace. we couldn't come to - the garden party last month because i was in hospital. we sat round the table i and just chatted for a bit. we had some little cookies, - some sandwiches and, like, tea. and for tony, there was something extra to celebrate. over tea, the queen presented him with his

hull. experts had to use documents found with the remains, because they couldn't extract clear dna profiles from the ashes. an investigation into legacy independent funeral directors started back in march. it began when a report was made to humberside police raising concerns about the care of the deceased. days later, police arrested a 46—year—old man and a 23—year—old woman as they touched down at heathrow airport. on the 12th of march, police announced they'd removed 35 bodies and a quantity of what they believed to be human ashes from the premises in hull. two months later, legacy�*s business was dissolved on the 10th of may, after the company was taken to court for unpaid debts of more than £40,000. our reporter, jessica lane, has followed the story throughout and has the latest. the former legacy funeral directors building on hessle road in hull is all shut up now with no sign of what used to be here. just this one bunch of flowers remains in tribute to someone affected by what's happened, as the police investigation continues nearly four months on. rita shaw was cremated last october and her husband richard received what he believed were her ashes. out in the garden, around he back, i've got a standard rose tree out in the garden, around the back, i've got a standard rose tree for rita and some other plants that she liked. i don't know what is in them, i've just spread the ashes. he was told by police in march they had in fact found rita's ashes in the mortuary at the hull royal infirmary. police say they've analysed documents found with the ashes which has led them to be able to identify the 163 families. and they've tried to meet with them in person to discuss what they want to do next. it's notjust me, it's the rest of the people. some of them haven't even got any ashes. at least i've got somebody�*s ashes, but i've got to try and settle down with what i've got. vigils have been held by families and friends of those affected every here month in hull and will continue as long as they're needed. the two people arrested in march remain on bail as the police investigation goes on. jessica joins us now from hull. what are the police saying? the police are saying today that they are really keen to stress their investigation is continuing as it's about to enter a fourth month. it has been a really large investigation for humberside police. at one point they had experts from the national crime agency helping detectives. there have also been phone helpline set up, one set up by victim support is still open 24 hours a day. that really goes to show the point that humberside police have tried to make throughout, which is that they really want families of people affected by what happened here at legacy to be at the of their inquiry. in the last week the chief constable of humberside police resigned after less than a year in thejob. the local resigned after less than a year in the job. the local police and crime commissioner confirmed paul anderson has been referred to the independent office for police conduct for potential misconduct. since then it has been suggested in the press the allegations included four comments claimed to have been made by mr anderson about the inquiry into the trap legacy funeral directors. as you stand here on hessle road people here want to stop and talk about what happened at legacy. lots of people new and used the company. this is a very close—knit community, as one woman said to me earlier, and it goes to show the issues of what happened here and the police investigation are still very much on people's mines here in hull. jessica lance, people's mines here in hull. jessica lange. thank _ people's mines here in hull. jessica lange. thank you- _ still to come on today's programme, we'll get the latest on energy costs and what they mean for you, as the electricity and gas price cap falls today in england, scotland and wales. now it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. raducanu's ready for centre court, as wimbledon gets under way. we'll be there for the all the latest. job done, just about — more reaction from the england camp after that nervy win over slovakia in the euros, which keeps their tournament alive. three—time world champion bianca cook tell us she is devastated and been "let down" after missing the cut for team gb taekwondo this olympics. hello and welcome to the programme. wimbledon is up and running and there is plenty to look forward to on centre court today, including the defending men's champion, carlos alcaraz. big news on the women's side of the draw, with third seed and one of the favourites aryna sabalenka pulling out. let's get some more on that and the rest from wimbledon with chetan pathak, who is there for us. afternoon, chetan. so a big name dropping out in sabalenka. yes, it's just happened yes, it'sjust happened in yes, it's just happened in the last hour or so that aryna sabalenka, who had been dreaming to see if she could get more motion back and your shoulder, has had to pull out so we lose the number three seed, the two—time grand slam champion and one of the favourites to win this title. she said she can't serve, which of course would be a major problem! i'd she goes, as this championship barely begins. we are very much on injury watch. emma raducanu's opponent has had to withdraw from the championships this morning. ekaterina alexandrova, which was the favourite you would have to say two beats emma raducanu. suddenly emma raducanu has gone to being second on centre court. she will be playing a mexican opponent. it looks now like emma raducanu could make it through to the second week. emma raducanu says she has never felt better coming into wimbledon. we have lost a british player already from the singles. that is heather watson. she has gone out in straight sets against her doubles partner. a couple of years ago she gave us a great story, heather watson full got to the second week. she did talk about feeling optimistic going into these championships. heather watson, 32 years old, is out. what of andy murray? he will let us know, he says, by the end of today about whether or not he will play his opening—round match against thomas message. he desperately wants his wimbledon farewell. will he get it into singles? he still has the hope of doubles with his brotherjamie of course. what else is going on? it is busy, isn't it! let's take it a carlos alcaraz. for the first time not roger federer, rafael nadal, andy murray or novak djokovic —— novak djokovic is open and play on centre court. he has won the opening game. he looks well positioned to defend his wimbledon title. one of the big contenders again this time. the man he beat last year in the semifinals, daniel medvedev, is out at the moment on court one. he is up against an american. daniel medvedev has had a horrible year so far with injuries and inconsistencies, but he should have enough to get over the line in round one. he is 5—3 up at the moment in that opening sets. it is a busy day. we have yannick skinner, the top seed, to come today. we have charles broom, the british player, coming up, also. england's footballers and fans will be reflecting on their late, late show which spared their blushes against slovakia in the european championship last night. the dramatic 2—1win means that england will now take on switzerland in the quarterfinals on saturday. of the players who were involved in yesterday's match only conor gallagher took part in training today. the rest are doing recovery work elsewhere. earlier we heard from jordan pickford. to earlier we heard from jordan pickford. ., , ., ., , earlier we heard from

that resilience and mentality. that is tournament football. it is my fourth major noise and you learn a lot from the past. that is what we can take into these next games. on paper, france against belgium should be one of the standout tournament matches, given they were both among the tournament favourites, but both sides have failed to fire so far. the french haven't scored in open play and belgium's goalless draw with ukraine meant they too finished second in their group. for sure, we forsure, we are for sure, we are not the favourite for the first time. this is clear, i think. but if it is good or not good, we don't think that much about it because we just want to qualify for the next round. we want to be brave, we want to start this game with a strong belief. we worked on this belief in the last two or three days because if there is no belief there is nothing.— there is nothing. here is the confirmation _ there is nothing. here is the confirmation of _ there is nothing.

association as the skateboarding athletes representing team gb this summer, but the three—time taekwondo world champion bianca cook says she has been left "devastated" after being overlooked for paris 2024. the 32—year—old claimed bronze at the last two olympics, but yesterday emerging talent rebecca mcgowan was revealed as britain's heavyweight fighter for the games. cook had requested a fight—off

proud to be a part of. that's the kind of person and character that i am. finally, athlete alastair chalmers has said yesterday transformed from being "the worst day" of his life to "the best". the favourite and defending champion from guernsey was competing in the olympic 400 metres hurdles qualifiers in manchester and was initially disqualified for a false start, but almost two hours later officials upheld his appeal after they agreed with chalmers' claims of noise at the start line. that is all from us. from today, gas and electricity prices will go down in england, scotland and wales as changes to the energy price cap come into force. here's what it will mean for your bills. the average household, using a typical amount of energy, has been paying an average of £1,690 a year. from today, that will fall to £1,568. that's down around £122 a year. but remember it's the unit price that's capped, and what you will actually pay will depend on other factors, including how much energy you use, how you pay, and where you live. even though energy prices are falling, average bills are still around £430 higher than in 2021. that's because russia's invasion of ukraine pushed prices up. and despite today's fall, the price is expected to rise again in the run—up to winter. consultancy firm cornwall insight predicts a typical dual fuel bill could increase by 10% in october, or £155 a year. so, what should you do to help keep your bills down? richard neudegg from uswitch, has this advice. it is good news we are seeing prices come down but ofgem sets out every three months and predictions are it will go up when we get to october. which is important because that is when we use most of our energy. it isa it is a decent time, there are some good fixes in the market at or around the level of the price cap we are seeing now. that means you could lock that in not for the three months of this price cap but for the whole 12 months which would give you the extra certainty and protection of these rates overwinter, so it is a good time to consider your options, run a comparison and see if locking in a cheaper price is a good moment for you. afterfive days, 200,000 people and more female headliners than ever — the gates have closed on a record—breaking glastonbury festival. in a moment we'll look back at the highlights — first, our reporter ross pollard is at worthy farm. and ross, they've raced through what is a sizeable clean—up. yeah, that's right. good afternoon. as you can see, the pyramid stage behind me, they have been here since the early hours this

year.— glastonbury�*s 2024 line—up was one of its most diverse in its history. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been looking back at the weekend's highlights from worthy farm. glasto! welcome to glastonbury! keep going, guys, keep going. this is the full outfit. mate, lam buzzing. # man, i feel like a woman. # wah, wah, wah—wah—wah, ow, ow! thank you. something crazy to tell you. i have a boyfriend. my daddy said he will lock him in a tower. i'm just another raver. are you hot yet?! yeah. are you very hot? very hot. my dream is to come back and do the pyramid stage one year. me on stage, banging tunes and like ten, 20, 30,000 people doing a work—out. that'd be life changing. they took the blindfold off to channel the love. i'm glad you said yes. yeah _ glastonbury, one more time. all the way from california to see dua lipa. and she delivered! there she is! hey! highfive! i haven't done this song since 1997, so i think it's in e flat! # things can only get better...# look at that crowd, all the way back. those were two ambitions when i was growing up, top of the pops and then, glastonbury. i've got great news for you. you've passed the audition. ijust love it. i think this is the greatest collection of like—minded, beautiful people. he's a little bit rusty. paul, beautifully, asked me to come and join him on stage. so i got up and played happy hour, which was just a really emotional moment for me. # if you're ready for me, boy... she made this declaration on live tv, and we thought she might need some advice. and we thought, who better for advice when it comes to men than sugababes? stay away from them! i think as long as you guys always play nicely together, that's ok. and remember, school is important. # i come up in the morning light...# for many women, girls just want to have fun is their karaoke go—to song. what's your karaoke go—to song? my birthing song was i will survive. chanting: # tommy, tommy cruise. ..# # look at the stars, look how they shine for you...# the main reason why we're in a band is because of watching back to the future. so thank you to our hero forever. and one of the most amazing people on earth, mr michael] fox. thank you so much, michael. # you're a sky full of stars...# very quick review for the bbc. very quick review. 0h... awesome. awesome — we got one word! absolutely brilliant. wait a minute, you're the guy! you're the guy! # pineapple on his head # i don't care, as long as it's all yellow.# i'm getting sung to by chris martin. i don't think this moment can ever be topped. and it's too tempting not to do this. chris martin did it last night. hello, glastonbury! plays riff from man, i feel like a woman let's go, girls. this is lindsay l. she is shania twain's guitarist. crowd: # man, ifeel like a woman. ..# - leopard print everywhere. everyone got the memo and they showed up. # ok, so you're brad pitt...# it was like watching her in an intimate backroom of a bar, but at the pyramid stage at glastonbury, it was absolutely brilliant! glastonbury is my favourite place in the whole wide world. there's nowhere better. laughter. how sad are you it's all over? 0h, going back to work on tuesday doesn't enter into my brain at the moment. it's the worst feeling ever. and then we count down the 365 days till next year, and we do it all again. now the weather with darren. decent weather for the most part at glastonbury. this week at the uk it will not feel too much like summer. a lot of cloud today and in the week ahead bringing rain at times. there will be a cool breeze blowing and temperatures are likely to be below average. this is the rainfall accumulation over this week. the dark blue into green show where we find most rain falling and the bulk of it is across western scotland and other western areas but not much rain as you head further east because the weather is coming from the atlantic, from the west. we have this band of cloud today bringing this band of cloud today bringing this reign over the last few hours, this reign over the last few hours, this is the radar picture. the rain pushing its way more into northern england, less rain further south across england and wales and following the rain in scotland and northern ireland we may even see some sunshine. but not particularly warm here with temperatures reaching 17 degrees. could make 21 ahead with the rain in the south—east of england and it shouldn't feel too bad here. what's left of the rain in england and wales is going to slide more across eastern parts of england and keep a lot of cloud over night. some breaks elsewhere particularly across scotland and northern ireland where temperatures could get as low as seven or eight in some rural areas. more clout to begin the day across eastern parts of england bringing one or two spots of rain and drizzle towards wimbledon in the morning. then we will find the crowd breaking for a while, some sunshine, but cloud building, showers across the northern half of the uk and longer spells of rain across western scotland and northern ireland, limiting the temperatures to 16. some southern parts of england and south wales could make 20. weather fronts coming from the atlantic, that's the story over the week ahead. complicated weather fronts will bring a messy day for wednesday with lots of cloud, rain from time to time. nothing particularly heavy or prolonged and we may well follow the rain with sunshine and showers to scotland and northern ireland. temperatures of 16—18, a bit disappointing for this time of year but the weather is much worse as we head to the caribbean. an unusual and dangerous hurricane, the earliest category four hurricane on record, also forming much further east. over the sea surface temperatures are close to a record fuelling the hurricane. it has weakened to a category three and steering to the south of barbados, looks like grenada will be in the firing line with sustained winds of 120 mph, and it then moves quickly into the caribbean, getting close to jamaica on wednesday, and to the yucatan peninsula late thursday and into friday. significant storm surges. that's all from today's bbc news at one. from me and the team here, thanks for watching. goodbye. live from london. this is bbc news. marine le pen says "democracy has spoken" as her far—right party comes out on top
