oi’ or alleviate property. now it's time to get all the sports news with gavin. hello, lucy. let's start at the world snooker championship, where kyren wilson has a five—frame advantage overjakjones. going into tonight's final session at the crucible in sheffield. wilson took the final frame of the afternoon to share the third session 4—4. it leaves his lead at 15 frames to 10. he was twice pegged back to within three frames byjones, but will resume tonight with a five—frame lead. the first to 18 takes the title. former spain and wolves boss julen lopetegui has agreed a deal to replace david moyes as west ham united manager at the end of the season. no contracts have yet been signed, but it looks like a return to the premier league for lopetegui, who left wolves just before the start of this season. under moyes, west ham have twice finished in the top seven — and won the europa conference league, but he's faced recent criticism for his style of play.

there has been success. there's no doubt about that. nobody can argue that. but it is at least i know two years that the clubs were thinking, should they change direction are not? should theyjust keep more respectable to the fans, more profession, more this and that. quite clearly, with the success in last season, they had to stay. there's one game in the premier league on monday, with european qualification the focus for manchester united, who travel to crystal palace. eric ten hag's side slipped to eighth, outside to european places, following results at the weekend. seventh or an fa cup win will be enough. of course is important. but we have two opportunities. that is one of the league and one in fa cup final. definitely— the league and one in fa cup final. definitely will have an impact on the pitch —

definitely will have an impact on the pitch. but i'm sure manchester united _ the pitch. but i'm sure manchester united is _ the pitch. but i'm sure manchester united is a — the pitch. but i'm sure manchester united is a very attractive team to play ton _ thousands of ipswich fans have lined the streets of the suffolk town as the club celebrate returning to the premier league with an open—top bus procession. ipswich completed remarkable back—to—back promotions under manager kieran mckenna last week, when they beat huddersfield town at portman road on saturday. some of the players perhaps feeling a little worse for wear. ipswich join leicester city who have been promoted as champions. it's amazing. we've not been in the premiership for 22 years, so it's once—in—a—lifetime possibly. i don't know! brilliant, brilliant, yeah. we got here about 10.30. yeah? _ yeah, so it's brilliantce it once again. yeah, so it's brilliant to see it like this once again. it means the world, it means the world! i i think the atmosphere today is great, and it has been for the last couple of seasons. i'm a bit nervous because... horns drown speech.

loving it there. joe root is leading calls to reduce the amount of domestic cricket and review a schedule that he calls "not fit for purpose". the former england test captain is speaking out after the professional cricketers�* association revealed a large number of players have concerns about the physical toll of the fixture list, while many are worried about unsafe travel between matches. information from players was gathered in pre—season meetings, leading to this collective call for action. tim merlier won stage three of the giro d'italia today on an extraordinary 166—kilometre stage through piedmont. the slovenian tadej pogacar wearing the race leaders pinkjersey attacked the rest of the field in the last two kilometres with second—placed geraint thomas also at the front of the race. they were eventually swallowed up by the sprinters teams with merlier taking the victory in fossano. pogacar retains the race lead. and that's all the sport for now. we'll be back with more later on.

it's very much, gavin. it's been a difficult few days for prime minister rishi sunak — after a series of losses in local elections across england and wales — and a defeat with a huge swing to labour at the blackpool south by—election. but he is refusing to accept that defeat at a general election — is a "foregone conclusion". among his reasons is research which suggests that labour's share of the vote would not create an overall majority at westminster. with more on this, our political correspondent alex forsyth. what's even saying? as you say, it was a pretty _ what's even saying? as you say, it was a pretty bruising _ what's even saying? as you say, it was a pretty bruising few- what's even saying? as you say, it was a pretty bruising few days - what's even saying? as you say, it was a pretty bruising few days forl was a pretty bruising few days for the conservative party. they lost hundreds of council seats and mayoral contests. but they did hang on in tees valley. but the despite the fact there was a whole plethora of conservative mps suggesting what the party should do in response, some signalling that it should sift for the right on issues

like immigration, saying that would be irrational. but the prime minister, who was on a visit to a community centre this afternoon, suggests that he's not going to change tact at all. he was instead saying the government is making progress on what he has set. he seems to suggest the election is not yet a done deal. independent analysis shows that whilst, of course this was a disappointing weekend for us, that the result of of the next general election isn't a foregone conclusion, and indeed, the situation is closer than many people are saying, or that the opinion polls are predicting. that's why i'm determined to fight incredibly— that's why i'm determined to fight incredibly hard. that's what i'm going _ incredibly hard. that's what i'm going to — incredibly hard. that's what i'm going to do. fight for what i believe and

holiday break. despite the fact that prime minister and others are pleading for unity, i think those discussions are inevitable because there are fundamental differences in there are fundamental differences in the party about what is the best direction to take after this set of election results. despite with the prime minister was saying, the election is not a done deal, he wants to go there and fight and make progress. i can tell you other conservative mps who are really gloomy about the party's prospects. i have no doubt that is going to be the topic. i have no doubt that is going to be the toic. . , . ~ the topic. thanks very much, alex fors h. a new study has found that schemes like carbon offsetting and deforestation—free certification schemes, have largely failed to protect trees or alleviate poverty. the international union of forest research organisations found such initiatives had only made limited progress, with the scientists behind the report urging a "radical rethink".

problem, which is governance. inequalities when it comes to land management and alternative options. what did it say would work better? he did say that grassroots initiatives were working incredibly well because local people on the ground in these countries know the lay of the land, they know what works within their countries. it's all about companies working with them, co—designing approaches on a more local scale rather than these big corporations and big financial incentives. they say they need it a radical rethink.— radical rethink. thank you very much, radical rethink. thank you very much. meghan _ radical rethink. thank you very much, meghan owen. - the woman who set up the breast cancer awareness charity, coppafeel!, has died at the age of 38. kris hallenga used the news of her terminal diagnosis, in 2009, in 2009 to educate women about why they should start checking their breasts from a younger age, so cancer could be found early.

it was terminal, so kris made it her life mission to make sure that young people feel reflected in ress cancer communication and have the knowledge and the confidence to start to self check as early as possible because it can be the difference between life and death, and the sooner you're diagnosed, the better outcomes of treatment and the more likely you are to live the happy and healthy life. likely you are to live the happy and healthy life-— healthy life. also i suppose the medical professionals - healthy life. also i suppose the medical professionals who - healthy life. also i suppose the medical professionals who are l healthy life. also i suppose the - medical professionals who are seeing these young women coming to them with issues. in terms of how you will carry on her legacy, what will you be doing? it's really important to get individuals individual �*s story at the heart the campaign? someone that is relatable. absolutely. we are very much focused this year on our storytellers. we are inundated as young people getting in touch with us to say the

so it was entangled with my own effort. bannister, training to be a doctor, was trying to prove something, perhaps to himself, having slipped to fourth at the olympics two years earlier. but he was also engaged in an experiment. at the time, some scientists believed you would kill yourself trying to run a mile in four minutes. bannister disagreed. his friend chris brasher was tasked with setting the correct pace and tempering bannister�*s enthusiasm. we seem to be going so slowly. impatiently, ishouted, "faster." but brasher kept his head i and didn't change the pace. bannister was an amateur, running was secondary to his studies, and he'd regard his medical career as the greater achievement of his life. but when the second pacemaker, chris chataway, started to tire, his moment arrived. when my mind took over. it raced well ahead of my body and drew me compellingly forward. i felt that the moment of a lifetime had come. i collapsed as i crossed the tape, but then i recovered sufficiently to hear him announcing in a time

which, subject to ratification, will be a new world record. three... and after that, the noise of the crowd obliterated the remainder of his announcement. archive: roger bannister had achieved a new peakl in the history of sport. it was a great surprise to me to be able to do it today, and i think i was very lucky. as you can tell, bannister wasn't one to oversell it, but others have compared his achievement to the conquest of everest or the first transatlantic flight. he was simply happy to have proved his point. i was able to retire from running with a fairly happy ending. having, ithink, shown what i had always believed — that the four—minute mile was merely a psychological barrier, not a physical barrier. and of course, subsequent events have amply proved that. bannister�*s record was beaten

just 46 days later, and seb coe was one of many to set new mile frontiers. archive: and he comes home with a new world record. - but they've all run in his slipstream. sir roger bannister believed that the mind should not constrain what the body can do. in that sense, he is the creator of the modern record—breaker. patrick gearey, bbc news. earlier, we heard from erin bannister, daughter of sir roger bannister, who started by explaining what he said about that day. he said that it involved a great deal of planning. so, although he was the era of amateur runners, there was nothing amateur about the way he trained. so i think the clip you've just shown and in his own words, absolutely, he summed it up in the way that he had choices to make about whether to run it at all. the weather was against him and a coach said,

"you may never have this chance again". so he took it and the wind dropped, and they decided at the last minute to go ahead with his friends, chris brasher and chris chadwick. and he then had this extraordinary feat on the oxford track at iffley, and he talked there also in that clip that we just ran, saying that it was just a psychological barrier. and he then had this extraordinary feat on the oxford track at iffley. and he talked there also in that clip that we just ran, saying that it was just a psychological barrier. he really believed that it was just a sort of mental thing, didn't he, and was that a big part of his motivation for doing it? i think he really thought he could do it, and around the world, people were getting ready to do it. and as we know, his record didn't last very long becausejohn landy in australia broke it very shortly afterwards and then they were pitted together. so it wasn't only him. and so he...

i'm sure he was sure that he could do it — not necessarily the first because there were a lot of competition. but yes, i think he believed in himself. i loved it at the end there how he said he was lucky. really downplaying it, wasn't it? was that his character? he was very modest, i really think so. and yes, he was my father, i loved him. he took a great part in ourupbringing. he tended to... i have clive, thurston and charlotte, my siblings, and we all ran every weekend before breakfast. i dare say as a teenager, there was a bit of rebellion, but he took a huge interest and wanted everybody to do sport. but i think he was modest about his sporting achievements. i love that he was shouting faster at his pace setter. that's hilarious, isn't it? well, it shows how important they were! yes, he needed them.

yes. he was bursting to go. yes. but i suppose he knew that he needed them. he was, you know, even with his great enthusiasm, he knew what he needed to do. and in order to achieve it, they planned they train together, but they used to do crazy things. chris brash was a mountaineer, so they went climbing in the alps shortly before doing this. you know, they had fun together. was that altitude training or something? yeah, actually climbing. he rode an absolute novice and he went to climb so they, shortly before doing this... yeah, they had fun. let's get more on the breaking news that the hamas leadership has accepted the terms for a cease—fire deal in gaza. we have had the statement and these are the scenes now that you can see in rafah in southern gaza. let's listen in as they celebrate this news that it's accepted the terms for a cease—fire deal in gaza.

we don't have any of the details of what they exactly have accepted. we don't know how long it will last because we know hamas had been wanting to hold out for a permanent cease—fire and we know the other side has been talking about a0 days potentially. we don't know the finer details. or indeed what it means in terms of the hostages in gaza. you can see the scenes now in rafah, people clearly very happy to see this news. a statement saying the hamas leadership have accepted the terms for a cease—fire deal. there were air strikes being reported in rafah and that was hours after israel had told 100,000 palestinian civilians to evacuate the area. they were calling it a limited evacuation, so they were denying it was the start of the full—scale

offensive in rafah. they told 100,000 people in the east of rafah to move to these expanded humanitarian zones that they were talking about. we will have plenty more on this with ben brown, who will be here at the top of the hour, and we will hear from frank gardner injerusalem with the latest news. hello. we've seen further drenching downpours in some parts of the uk this bank holiday monday, but the weather looks set to calm calm down over the next few days. something more settled, drier, and warmer, developing through this week as high pressure starts to build its way in from the west. as we move through tonight, still this area of low pressure fairly close by, so we'll keep some showers going for a time, particularly down towards the south east of england, where for some has been a pretty wet day. the rain here taking a time to ease off.

most of the showers elsewhere will fade, we'll keep fairly large amounts of cloud, and where the skies do clear for any length of time, say across central and southern parts of england, south wales could see some mist and fog patches. temperatures generally eight, nine or ten degrees as we start tuesday morning. still some showers around on tuesday, but not as many as we've had today. showers most likely, i think, across parts of england and wales, albeit with some spells of sunshine in between. northern ireland and scotland seeing a bit more in the way of cloud, maybe the odd spot of rain here and there. something brighter likely to develop in the north of scotland, 12 degrees for stornoway, 20 degrees there in london. now, as you move through tuesday night and into wednesday, this area of high pressure really starts to take charge. so, for most of us, wednesday is looking like a fine day. it could be some early mist and fog, could be some areas of cloud around first thing tending to lift and break up to reveal some spells of sunshine. a dry day for most, but we will see some clouds and some patchy rain into parts of northern ireland and northwest scotland. a weak weather front approaching here. temperatures, though, 17 for aberdeen, for glasgow, for belfast, 21 likely in london. by thursday, still weak

frontal systems across the northern half of scotland. cloud and some patchy rain here. but further south, some spells of sunshine and some warmth, with temperatures in some spots up to 21 or 22 celsius. now, it looks like we'll end the week on a warm note. this area of high pressure still with us for friday. the big question mark is about how quickly this area of high pressure will break down and allow frontal systems back in from the atlantic. the weekend certainly looks like starting off on a fine note, butjust with the increasing chance of some rain pushing in from the west as we get into sunday. there is some uncertainty about that, but it does look like it will eventually turn more unsettled and a bit cooler again into the start of next week.

it's 6pm in london. this is this world today with ben brown. hamas says it has told mediators that it accepts a proposal for a ceasefire deal in gaza. this is the scene in rafah where the news of a possible ceasefire deal many have been celebrating. john swinney is the new leader of the scottish national party and set to become the next first

minister of scotland. don't let our disagreements dominate. join me as we open a new chapter. uk prime minister rishi sunak dismisses calls to change course after poor local election results — he says he can make "progress" with voters before a general election. the chinese leader xi jinping is in paris, his first visit to europe since for five years. welcome to the world today — an hour of international news from the bbc we begin with breaking news this hour. an official hamas source has told the bbc that the movement informed the mediators of the approval of the deal. israel has yet to comment on that, we will bring you more details as
