will it be bayern munich or real madrid that will face borussia dortmund in the champions league final? we'll find out later at the santiago bernabeu. the tie is level at 2—all going into the second leg, with eitherjude bellingham or harry kane hoping to reach the final. a subplot of the first leg last week was bellingham attempting to put his england teammate off before kane scored his penalty for bayern. so what did bellingham's manager make of it all. i thinkjude is a fantastic guy. i think he respects everyone and he has a really good relationship with harry kane. for the national team, there are no problems. well, kane himself insists he didn't notice bellingham trying anything, with his focus on converting the penalty. and his coach thomas tuchel says that's exactly why they bought him from tottenham last summer. i knew we would get a big personality into our dressing room on top of everything which you can analyse, goalscoring and movements and assisting

in dealing with the pressure, goal scoring and movements and assisting and dealing with the pressure, he brought everything to the table that we could possibly hope for. britain's geraint thomas remains second overall after stage five of the giro di'italia. it ended in a sprint finish in luca in tuscany with frenchman benjamin tomma claiming the first grand tour stage win of his career. it was also the first victory of the year for his cofidis team. thomas finished in the main group alongside overall leader taday pog—archer and remains 46 seconds behind the slovenian. rafa nadal insists he's excited to be playing in a tournament that he's won 10 times before, even if he's going into the italian open ranked 305 in the world, he's playing zizou bergs in the first round in rome later in another stop of what's expected to be his final year on tour before retiring. my my feelings are better, in terms of

tennis, why not? i am here to try my best and tomorrow it is going to start and all the matches are tough and difficult and unpredictable than the matches used to be for me, especially at play. i expect that rule and accept that challenge and i'm excited about the way i can be able to play if i keep working the proper way my body allows me. meanwhile another player who could well retire this year andy murray is expected to return from injury at the geneva open after being given a wildcard for the tournament. murray hasn't played since he ruptured ankle ligaments in miami in late march. but after deciding against surgery to speed up his recovery, he's now due to play in switzerland in ten days�* time as part of his run—up to the french open. while preparations in paris are almost complete for the olympics.

they still await the arrival of the famous flame that'll accompany all the action in the stade de france later this year. it has though arrived in the country. after an ii—day journey from greece, it reached marseille on a tallship surrounded by a flotilla of more than a thousand small boats. its voyage will continue across france, but also include an oceans relay that'll take in six of france's overseas territories before the games�* opening ceremony on the 26thjuly. the napkin that kick—started lionel messi's career goes up for auction today. trust me that is a sentence that makes sense. upon the napkin was written the first contract between a 13 year old messi and barcelona. it goes under the hammer at bonham's new york in an online auction running until 17th may. estimates suggest around half a million dollars could be enough to get it.

and that's all the sport for now. every single day over the past year, the world's oceans have broken temperature records, thought to be because of climate change. figures from the eu climate service copernicus show last month was globally warmer than any previous april in records dating back to 1940. for many decades, the world's oceans have been the earth's �*get—out—of—jail card' when it comes to climate change. not only do they absorb around a quarter of the carbon dioxide that humans produce, they also soak up around 90% of the excess heat. but over the past year, the oceans have displayed the most concerning evidence yet that they are struggling to cope. our climate editor justin rowlatt reports. the menai bridge between north wales and the island of anglesey. scientists have been monitoring the plants and animals on the sea shore here for almost 70 years. it's invaluable and it tells us

so much about where species were, how quickly they've moved. they've been going back to the same places all around the uk creating a unique record of the changing populations on our country's rocky coasts. in that time, sea temperatures around this country have warmed by an average of about one degree celsius. the big thing that i've seen is species aren't all moving at the same rate — so things are moving further north, but not at the same speed. so, all the community compositions are changing everywhere because different species are moving at different rates. some creatures can't move at all — like barnacles. so, nova, this is a really disruptive process for ecosystems? i think if i was a barnacle, i'd be quite worried, yes! if one species vanishes or a new one comes in, it can affect all the other plants and animals in the system. at aberystwyth university, scientists track the changes

with the same technology the police use at crime scenes. i think we're going to put this down about five metres. the researchers collect the traces of dna animals leave in the water. it is known as edna, environmental dna. it's possible to use edna to track the movement of invasive species. there is a japanese species of sea squirt. it's called a carpet sea squirt. they form a blanket, a carpet, if you like, over the sea bed. they prevent the growth of native organisms in the areas that they colonise. because they do so well in our environment, they can potentially take over huge areas of the sea bed. what we are finding is that the ones that are more invasive appear to be responding more strongly to global warming and increasing water temperatures. it is evidence ofjust how fragile some of our marine ecosystems are and stands as a warning that as our seas continue to warm,

we can expect unpredictable changes in the marine life of the uk. yes, jane, it is not only barnacles that should worry, we all need to worry, because it is notjust sea temperatures, it is air temperatures as well, there is a terrible heatwave in south asia at the moment, social media companies have been told they could be named and shamed if they don't comply with new online safety rules aimed at protecting children. the media regulator ofcom has set out a draft code of practice which requires technology firms to toughen up their age checks — and change their algorithms, in order to filter out the most harmful content from young people's feeds. but a group of bereaved parents has written an open letter criticising ofcom for a �*lack of ambition�*. they united in person this morning, for a bbc breakfast special — as angus crawford reports. 11 young faces. 11 short lives. the online world playing a role in each of their deaths.

leaving behind them parents campaigning in their names so no other family has to go through what they have. and they have a simple message. sit up and listen to parents that have lost their children. it is a david and goliath situation. it's been quite painful and very frustrating as a parent. everyone here knows only too well how damaging the products of big tech can be. today, their chance to question the minister and the regulator and demand that they do more to rein in silicon valley. parents and young people and everyone here today is kind of counting on us. first, the chief executive of ofcom. how are you going to impose and verify their age? pretty much all the social media platforms have a minimum age of 13, but they're not doing enough to... they're not doing anything really at the moment to enforce that. we know that, i'm afraid 40% of 5 to 7 year olds currently are on social media. we know that, i'm afraid 40% of 5 to 7 year olds currently are on social media. and i would say to any

parents listening today, it is a very risky environment for children of primary school age. 13 is still a child. 14 is still a child. 15 is still a child. well, it clearly isn't ok for 13 to 17 year olds to be on social media today, given that it's not a safe environment for them. then a question for the minister. a question about suicide content on social media. why are they allowed to publish this content? that's a really simple and really powerful question. under the act, they they're not. my message here, sitting on your sofa today is that the tech companies don't need to wait for the full implementation of this bill. they can start now, and some of them already have, but they need to go further and faster to make the changes. they are waiting. how can we make them move? yeah. so i feel your frustration on this. and if we could fully implement

the bill tomorrow, i'd be doing it. absolutely. what we don't want to do is do so fast that it has lots of loopholes or that they can easily litigate and it's chewed up in the courts for years. we want this to be robust. so i would like to see a phone which at point of purchase is set up and it's safe by design for children. what we've done is really big. it is groundbreaking. it's more than any other country in the world has done in this space. is it job done? absolutely not. so many really brave parents have gone through so much horrendous, so, so many horrendous tragedies. and yeah, i think that they should be proud of the strength and the solidarity as well. i suspect if if they were still alive and seeing what we're doing, they'd be they'd be really proud and they'd be cheering us on. 11 young voices may be stilled, but in the fight to protect other children, their parents will not be silenced. angus crawford, bbc news.

the second tory mp to cross the floor of the chamber and there's been an angry reaction in her old party and a political correspondent spoke to the conservative member for great grimsby for a reaction. well, the last time i spoke with natalie, she said quite vociferously that the government was doing a really good job on stopping illegal migration on their policies, on stopping the boats and supportive of the rwanda policy. so i'm puzzled as to why she's made this decision, but clearly she has. well, she singled out rishi sunak�*s role, as she sees it, in what she calls a coup against borisjohnson back in 2019. you were borisjohnson�*s supporter. is there any resonance of that for you? i think the conservative parliamentary party clearly

as a majority, wanted rid of borisjohnson at that point. but the reality is he's no longer a member of parliament. i'd love if borisjohnson were still here and could look forward to a potential future, but in the short term that's not going to happen. he's not a member of parliament and we can't think about the past and lament the past. we've got to look at what the public want us to do. this is the problem that the conservative party has had previously is they're too busy navel gazing and thinking about what they want and what's best for them as individuals. myjob as members of parliament's job is to actually do what the public want. so all of this other periphery discussion going on isn't important. what's important is having a country that is fit for the future, for our children, for our grandchildren. i don't believe labour is going to do that. that's why they're not telling anybody what their policies are, because the public hear about it. they won't like it. designed to inflict maximum damage

on the prime minister and going after his flagship policies, very symbolic and talking about his role in the ousting of borisjohnson, talking about the fact that they've abandoned many of the key promises in 19 manifesto, is she right? i don't believe those manifesto pledges have been abandoned it all and the reason that we cannot get them through as quickly as you want to do is because we have labour peers fighting against it in human rights lawyers fighting against it thatis rights lawyers fighting against it that is the reality that we are fighting against it is not the conservative party that has a problem, actually, does the labour party in opposition that really don't like this and want open borders, free legal and illegal migration and that is a people need to vote conservative in the next election. ., ., ~ , ., election. you lost two mps to the labour party _ election. you lost two mps to the labour party in — election. you lost two mps to the labour party in two _ election. you lost two mps to the labour party in two weeks, - election. you lost two mps to the labour party in two weeks, whatl election. you lost two mps to the - labour party in two weeks, what does this tell the public what messages is sending out as a republic that you cannot retain your own mps

during the general election. i think either our during the general election. i think either your principal _ during the general election. i think either your principal personally - either your principal personally believe what you're talking about your colleagues you believe in the policies they are trying to put forward, oryou'rejust policies they are trying to put forward, or you're just trying to save your skin and trying to make sure he could be elected by hopping to the team do you think and when. if you heard of supporter football teams, you don't support another football team because they might win the league, nonsense, really. a german spy chief has told the bbc that the far—right alternative for deutschland party poses a risk to the roots of democracy. the afd regularly rejects accusations of extremism. but the bbc has found clear links between significant party figures and extremist, or even former neo—nazi networks by investigating just one event held in the east german city of cottbus. our berlin correspondent jessica parker has this report. in germany's east, the far right alternative for deutschland is popular, even aiming for power.

and jean—pascal hohm is a regional parliamentary candidate. the afd is proactive on social media but also on the ground, and it feeds this idea they want to promote that they are of the people and taking on the establishment. but, as the bbc has found, jean—pascal hohm's held links with several groups now classed by domestic intelligence as extremist. networks accused of anti—migrant, anti—muslim ideology. translation: all these organisations focus on one subject - _ the theme of our times. it is the population replacement going on in germany and in europe. to voice that, and to fight that politically is not extremist. you don't think the great replacement theory is extremists? i mean, it's a far right conspiracy theory. translation: no, the great replacement is happening. i i can see that in my own city.

i do not say it is organised from up high. i say it's happening. it was at this office back in march thatjean—pascal hohm helped organise an event. the speaker was an mp called matthias helfrich, who once described himself as the friendly face of national socialism, also known as nazism. matthias helfrich insists the years—old leaked messages were satire. his talk here in cottbus was on re—migration, a code word, say many, for mass deportations. and in this video, he talks about re—migrating millions to preserve the land of the germans. in the audience in cottbus that night was benedikt kaiser, another influential figure. he works for an afd mp. but, over a decade ago, mr kaiser was pictured at neo—nazi demos. we've approached him for comment.

became more and more right wing extremist. this spy chief claims that extremism within the afd poses a risk to democracy. when i'm speaking about a german oak — a big, strong old tree — it can take a blizzard, it can take a storm. but once you have an enemy that goes for the roots and that's exactly what's happening right now, going for the roots of our democracy. it's very dangerous because it goes to the vital parts of our democracy. the afd says it's being smeared by a biased establishment and as the country builds towards regional and eu elections, this isn't a fringe movement but one trying to go mainstream. jessica parker, bbc news, in brandenburg.

a clinical trial in the uk has found that the immune systems of children with severe food allergies can be trained to cope with foods they were previously allergic to. researchers gave children with peanut and milk allergies daily doses of the foods and found they were able to tolerate them in small amounts for the first time. they hope this oral immunotherapy may be able to replace the expensive pharmaceutical supplements that are normally used to treat food allergies. alastair fee reports from one of the hospitals involved in the trial. thomas, it's time for your peanuts. it's medicine time for 11—year—old thomas — a handful of chocolate—coated peanuts. six months ago, they could have killed him. in the beginning when thomas got diagnosed with a peanut allergy, it dominated our lives. going out forfood, food preparation at home, everything was a worry. today, thomas can eat small quantities of the very food his family has spent years trying to avoid. it means the world to me that i can eat a peanut and, like, i won't die. thomas is taking part in an allergy trial led by southampton�*s hospital and university and imperial college, london. it uses the very foods that lead to severe allergic reactions. the early evidence is

incredibly promising. this is what's called oral immunotherapy. everyday foods are being given to children under medical supervision. the aim is to train the body to cope with the very ingredients that can cause an allergic reaction. in 2016, 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse died after eating a pret a manger baguette. it contained sesame, which she was allergic to. set up by her parents, this trial has been funded by the natasha allergy research foundation. natasha would be over the moon that we are actually doing this in her name. and that's what we're doing in helping otherfamilies overcome the very things that we were unable to overcome in natasha's life. thanks to the trial, imani can now safely tolerate a small amount of milk. i was afraid. now, i'm not that much afraid. now i can go to parties— without being worrying any more. nearly 150 children have taken part in the study across five

hospitals in the uk. once completed, its hoped there will be enough evidence for the treatment to be offered on the nhs. it's amazing. even small things like going to the theatre, we would avoid the ice cream at half time because it may contain peanut. we don't want to exclude thomas, so we just wouldn't eat it. now we can eat it. children taking part must continue to take small amounts of peanuts or milk to maintain their new tolerance, but, for the first time, they can lead more normal lives. alastair fee, bbc news. do abandoned metal mines pose a danger to public health? a committee of mps have held a one—off session on this subject this morning, with one expert telling the inquiry that an estimated 200,000 people in wales live on land contaminated due to flooding from waters polluted by old mines. and some say those living in areas

with a high density of old abanonded metal mines should be tested. tomos morgan has been to ceredigion, home to more than 400 old metal mines. this area of north ceredigion is one of several uk hotspots for old abandoned metal mines. a third of wales's 1,300 are in this county alone, and a recent foi revealed that at least 500 tonnes of harmful metals leak into welsh rivers from old mines each year. the main concern is lead, which can contribute to a number of health issues. and one lead poisoning expert believes that we should be testing communities living near old mines and contaminated rivers to rule out any risk to the public. this is one of the key functions of public health, is to identify potential threats and to make sure if it is or isn't real. if it's not, then people can be assured and you can worry about other problems. if it is, of course, then additional steps would be needed. there's currently no clear evidence of a public health issue in ceredigion or the other uk hotspot areas. but today the welsh affairs committee held a one off inquiry looking into whether old abandoned metal mines pose any risk to the public. the uk government said that an evidence based review of population screening didn't recommend it back in 2018 due to concerns about testing, treatment and a lack of up to date population data.

three studies, however, have documented deaths or high levels of lead in animals living near contaminated rivers and old mines in wales, and some landowners regularly test their animals. currently, it's down to farmers to pay the brunt of the testing if they believe their animals may be poisoned or contaminated by metals. and that can run into the hundreds, and at a time when farmers across the uk are struggling financially, some say that's not fair. where we do need to test i certainly think the cost should be borne by the state because it's a problem that a society we've inherited and it's not due to the actions or otherwise of individual farmers. agriculture is devolved in wales and a spokesperson for the welsh government said some testing is chargeable to farmers, but some, such as post mortem examinations, were subsidised or free of charge.

the uk government added businesses must ensure food produced doesn't go beyond maximum lead levels set by law and that monitoring is in place to check for this. the legacy of a time past. but what impact do these old works still have on those living in these communities across the uk? tomos morgan, bbc news. when toby addison lost his sight as a teenager, he says he went off the rails and struggled to cope — but as the years went on, he refused to let it restrict his life. toby started posting videos about his disability on social media, and his refreshingly honest approach has earned him a huge following. simon marks has been to meet him. i was born visually impaired and i was told i had a condition called retinitis pigmentosa. my sight was lost slowly over many, many years. and by the time i was 16, that's when i lost all my functional vision. and what effect did that have on you? you were still at school? yeah, i was doing my gcses at the time when my eyesight started to go really, really quickly and i went off the rails a little bit and, yeah, didn't respond in the best way, naturally. i don't think there's a right way to respond to losing your sight.

i went to university after i finished in school, and thankfully i had a clean start then. and, you know, my social life is buzzing now. and toby is also buzzing on tiktok and instagram, where he talks about his blindness in a refreshingly honest way. people thought that i'd never amount to anything, and to be fair, neither did i, due to my disability. blind people can't succeed or have fulfilling lives, right? it would have been quite easy for me to believe that and live a life of no independence. but sometimes you've got to flip the script. excuse me, do you know what station is this train stops at? oh, sorry. i didn't realise you were blind. you wouldn't know, would you? bognor, barnham, ford, arundel, amberley, pulborough, billingshurst, christs hospital, horsham, crawley, three bridges, gatwick airport, east croydon, clapham junction, london victoria. your social media presence is off the scale. you're very popular. i don't know why. how did that happen? it's a bit of luck, really. i reacted to a viral video of myself on someone else's page, and the video that i made ended up going viral. that was my first video, and i thought, "ok, well, let's just keep, keep going. let's see what happens." and i gained a large amount of traction very, very quickly. at some point in life, everyone will face a barrier. and it's so easy to just give up because something's in your way.

if you do that, you'll never get what you want. push the boundaries, and don't let your circumstances dictate your life. because if a blind man can do it, anyone can. do you think you might be becoming a role model? i like to think i've got a positive influence over people who are maybe losing their sight, parents of kids who are losing their sight. you know, reassuring people that disability isn't something to be scared of. that's my ultimate aim. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. it's been another pretty decent day up and down the country but weather fronts have brought some rain to the north and west of scotland, more of a breeze here, as well. that's what we will see into tomorrow, though much of the country should continue to stay dry and settled. for the rest of the week, we'll continue with these early morning mist and fog patches which could be quite dense but very quickly the strong may sunshine will burn it away and most places will see sunshine throughout the afternoon. so the rain continues to splash into the north and west of scotland through the overnight period. it will tend to become more confined to the north of scotland by the end of the night.

much of northern ireland, england and wales will be largely dry. there's a few clear spells around but also some patchy cloud, low cloud, at that, some mist and fog developing too. those temperatures, 8—11 celsius. so this is the picture for thursday, high pressure sitting pretty much on top of the uk. this weather front continues to push northwards to bring more rain to northern scotland but once again, tomorrow morning we could see some dense mist and fog patches first thing. but very quickly, the strong may sunshine will melt it away, we should start to see widespread sunshine for england and wales, northern ireland, central and southern scotland. it looks like the rain will become confined to the far north highlands and the northern isles through the day, so turning drier there. could see up to 20 celsius or so in central and southern scotland, 19—20 for belfast, 22—23 in the warmer spots for england and wales. as we move through thursday night, it looks like it will stay dry once again. light winds, a bit of mist and fog developing here and there. still a few spits and spots of rain for the north of scotland as that weather front loiters around. it could be a little milder as well to start friday, 9—12 celsius. friday, anotherfine looking day,

plenty of sunshine around. a bit more cloud across scotland but even here, it should be dry, including the north of scotland. light southerly breezes, those temperatures reaching the mid—20s for the warmest spots in england and wales, up to 21 celsius for the central belt of scotland, 20 there for belfast. high pressure continues to bring fine weather into the weekend but as it pulls away to the east, it starts to allow low pressure and weather fronts to gang up on us from the south and from the west, so it will start to turn more unsettled gradually. could see some heavy showers across scotland on saturday, warm and sunny elsewhere. it could be very warm in the south on sunday — increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms, though, later on sunday.

at 6:00pm, another conservative mp defects to labour. this is the moment natalie elphicke, mp for dover, crossed from the tory benches to labour, moments before the prime minister stood up to speak. a pedestrian who shouted at a cyclist on the pavement, causing her to fall into the path of a car, has her manslaughter conviction overturned. we report on the healthcare agency charging nhs hospitals up to £2,000 a shift for specialist nurses. astrazeneca's covid vaccine, developed by oxford scientists, is being withdrawn worldwide. and prince harry's at st paul's during a flying visit. the king's just two miles away at buckingham palace, but it seems father and son won't meet.

and coming up on bbc news — real madrid and their all—new futuristic bernabeu host a champions league classic tonight against bayern munich, with a place in the final at stake. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. another conservative mp has defected to labour, the second in less than two weeks. natalie elphicke, the mp for dover, said the conservatives under rishi sunak "have become a byword for incompetence and division". she made the movejust minutes before the prime minister faced mps in the commons at prime minister's questions for the first time since suffering heavy defeats in local elections in england. here's our political editor chris mason. natalie elphicke, shoulder to

shoulder with the prime minister when rishi
