closer to approving a much delayed 60 billion dollar package of military aid for ukraine. the republican house speaker, mikejohnson still faces some resistance from the right of his party. members of the scottish green party are to be given a vote on whether to continue its power—sharing agreement with the snp. it follows an outcry about the scottish government's decision to ditch key targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, a move which is said to have angered green party colleagues. the vote will be held at an extraordinary general meeting, and officials say it will be binding on the party. with more on this is catriona renton. if we can start off first with, what

if we can start off first with, what is the policy that was stitched during the week that has and did some of the green party. the green -a some of the green party. the green party share — some of the green party. the green party share power— some of the green party. the green party share power with _ some of the green party. the green party share power with the - some of the green party. the green party share power with the snp - some of the green party. the green party share power with the snp and | party share power with the snp and have done for three years. this week, the scottish government announced that they were ditching a key climate change targets. they accept that a 75% reduction in emissions by 2030 was out of reach. it was tougher than the uk's goal of 68%. the green party have announced they will vote on whether to remain with the snp. it's known as the bute house agreement and they will be a general meeting to decide. patrick harvey, their co—leader has said they will vote. they will argue that

they will vote. they will argue that the party should stay there. the first minister of the snp says this is an internal matter for the members of the green party. the interest is that _ members of the green party. the interest is that the vote will be binding. irate interest is that the vote will be bindinu. ~ . , ., binding. we have been told it will ha en in binding. we have been told it will happen in four — binding. we have been told it will happen in four weeks, _ binding. we have been told it will happen in four weeks, after - binding. we have been told it will - happen in four weeks, after members have been e—mailed to inform them of it. this isn'tjust about the climate change announcement. some greens are notjust unhappy about this but nhs scotland has decided to pause the prescription of puberty blockers in scotland, following the cas review. the party's rainbow greens have questioned the future of the deal with the snp. the snp leadership has come under pressure from some within their party to end the power—sharing agreement with some people within the snp saying

that some of the green policies do not sit well with them. there's the other issue that both the scottish grains and the snp advocate for an independent scotland so we should hear about when that meeting will be and we expect it to be in four weeks' time for, from the time of mentioning to members. what weeks' time for, from the time of mentioning to members. what with the im - lications mentioning to members. what with the implications be — mentioning to members. what with the implications be if _ mentioning to members. what with the implications be if the _ mentioning to members. what with the implications be if the greens _ mentioning to members. what with the implications be if the greens pull - implications be if the greens pull out of the power share? i implications be if the greens pull out of the power share?- implications be if the greens pull out of the power share? i guess it will cause instability. _ out of the power share? i guess it will cause instability. it _ out of the power share? i guess it will cause instability. it has - out of the power share? i guess it will cause instability. it has beenl will cause instability. it has been quite a week in the scottish parliament. we've seen the former first minister's husband be rearrested and charged in connection with the snp�*s finances so the snp are having a difficult week. these two announcements, the dropping of the climate change target and also the climate change target and also the suspension of puberty blockers for young people so a lot of changes happening at the moment. there's a

lot of changes happening at the moment. everything is sensitive for the parties at the moment due to the general election being this year. a financial watchdog is warning uk firms they must have their houses in order before new regulations aimed at protecting victims of fraud come into force in october. the payment systems regulator says traditional high street banks have made significant steps in refunding victims in recent years, but smaller, online—based money transfer services — or so—called electronic money institutions — still have a long way to go to catch up. the difference between the bank and the emi is like night and day. the bank were professional and sent me details of remote access scams. they said that's what had happened. the emi basically had no systems in place.

earlier i spoke to dan whitworth, from radio 4's money box programme, who's been looking into this. this comes down to protecting victims of fraud. the way the regulator wants to do that is to incentivise banks, to incentivise so—called electronic money institutions, to hold them liable for victims�* losses, to incentivise them to essentially better protect them and stop fraud happening in the first place. so what is an electronic money institution? well, some of the best and well—known of those are brand names like wise, tide and revolut and it is those that the regulator wants to up their standards to help protect people, and fundamentally it comes down to people i've been speaking to, a lady called carol alexander who is a victim of fraud who had £80,000 stolen from her bank account and from her emi about a year ago. the bank account refunded within 2a hours, and apologised, and it took her an 18—month fight to get the money back from her emi, from her electronic money institution. she just talked me through the kind of impact that had on her.

the difference between the bank and emi, electronic money institution, was like night and day. the bank where professional, they sent me details of a rate access scans, they told me that was what had happened, and the emi had basically no systems in place. in carol's case, they apologise for the they apologised for the stress that she suffered, and say that they have made vast progress, and have put lots of changes in place since that case. you can see the wide disparity, that is what the reggae to want to sort out with these changes are due in october. so what are the changes and what will this mean for consumers? it is really good news, because the changes that come into force, the 7th of october, they will be mandatory. at the moment, there is a voluntary scheme that some high—street banks, most of them have

signed up to, but these new regulations, they will be obligatory. they will cover nearly every single payment made in the uk, so much more protection for customers. they won't cover transactions that are foreign, going overseas, so international transactions and the white have overseas, so international transactions and they won't cover transactions which involve cryptocurrency. there will be a limit on how much people can get refunded, forging £15,000 and the amount to be reimbursed will be split between firms, 50—50, so 50% of a refund will come from the sending firm or the sending bank and 50% of the refund will come from the receiving bank. that is a really, really big step forward from where we are at the moment, and a regulator told me that they want what they called an equivalence of service. what that means is they want all the victims to be treated the same, regardless of where they keep their money, so big news for consumers, formal protections, because these regulations, they will be obligatory, mandatory, but from

the 7th of october, lots more protection forfraud victims in the uk. so, as you said, these new rules come into force in 0ctober. what should people do in the meantime if they are worried about being a victim of fraud? you should be very careful, you should be suspicious of any cold calls or any fishing text messages. carol, you have from there, she was targeted after she fell victim to an energy rebate scam one half years ago. fraudsters will prey on any witnesses, they will exploit any weaknesses, so people need to be very careful, speak to people, speak to family, friends, so if you are a bit suspicious, remember, no bank, no police force, hmrc, they will never ask you, never ask you to move money to a safe account, so always be very circumspect.

an app designed to reduce disruption for people travelling from the uk across the channel will not be ready in time for a new eu border scheme, according to the boss of the rail firm eurostar. under the much—delayed entry exit system, non—eu citizens will need to register fingerprints and a photo at the borderfrom 0ctober. the app is meant to replace passport stamping by allowing passengers to scan their fingerprints remotely and prevent long queues. with more on this is our business reporter esyllt carr. what's the purpose of the new eu border scheme? the new it system will replace the stamp in your passport and it's an insight as to who is entering and leaving the eu. extra information will be required, including british people who want to travel to the eu later in the year. they will have to scan their passport in early out

with all the details. it was supposed to come in 2022 but there's been several delays since then but there are concerns from some industry groups that this will cause extra disruption and queueing border points, eurostar on the port of dover. there's been a call by the director of p and 0 fairies to push it back even further to october. do we know why the app is not ready even though we have known about this since last october? it’s even though we have known about this since last october?— since last october? it's been developed — since last october? it's been developed by _ since last october? it's been developed by the _ since last october? it's been developed by the eu - since last october? it's been developed by the eu itself. since last october? it's been i developed by the eu itself and since last october? it's been - developed by the eu itself and it is supposedly going to mitigate some of these problems. it was one of the ways people hoped it would be speeded up but the chief executive of eurostar says she is not expecting that at to be up and running by october and there is no

indication that that will change in the system will come into play without it. so they are just planning to make preparations regardless. some groups have suggested it might not be ready until 2025, so plenty of concern about how this is all going to work in october. i about how this is all going to work in october-— in october. i assume eurostar and the ferry companies _ in october. i assume eurostar and the ferry companies are _ in october. i assume eurostar and the ferry companies are preparing j the ferry companies are preparing for delays that? the the ferry companies are preparing for delays that?— the ferry companies are preparing for delays that? the chief executive of eurostar said _ for delays that? the chief executive of eurostar said they _ for delays that? the chief executive of eurostar said they are _ for delays that? the chief executive of eurostar said they are installing l of eurostar said they are installing new kiosks at st pancras and providing extra staff so they can make sure passenger's journey is as smooth as possible. we know there are new processing areas at folkestone and calais to cope with these changes but, as i say, the port of dover is expected to have queueing problems because of the constrained space, cars, coaches and

lorries it handles every day. the local councils and tourism groups have said that could have a knock—on effect on the local businesses and local travel and tourism industries. retro's back, vinyl is in and what better way to celebrate than world record store day. more than 260 independent record shops across the country are taking part to celebrate the staff, customers, artists and labels that keep the industry turning. emer mccarthy is in the thick of it in soho for us. hgppy happy national record store store day. it's a celebration of the artists, the store owners. i'm joined by philip barton, you are the

event today, before officially opening next week. co—0p live in manchester has a capacity of twenty—three and a half thousand —— 500 more than the previous record holder, manchester arena. rick astley will put the venue through its paces this evening. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been watching the final preparations: the new co—0p live in manchester with a capacity of 23,500. it's the biggest indoor venue in britain. as you can see, the finishing touches are still being put in place, which is why i have to dress as one of the village people. to show us round tim leiweke, the boss of oak view music group, who raised £365 million in private finance to get it built. we have about 1,600 workers on site today. we could get almost 10,000 people on this floor. if you yell, go ahead and give it a yell. 0h! no echo. this is my favourite room that no one ever gets to see.

these are all going out to the largest bar in the uk. this is all beer? this is all beer. the artist comes to the stage. out of their dressing room. yeah. does their prayer, all together. going on right onto the stage here. that's it? that's it. and this is where the stages will be built. the stage is here — no signs, no advertising, no scoreboards, no led boards. all gone, because they hurt the acoustics of the experience. this is about the artist, it's about music and it's about their direct relationship with their fans being right on top of them. and this is where they will stand and go, "hello, manchester!" how about, hello, uk! acts asked to play in the next couple of months include stevie nicks. # welcome to the hotel california.#

the eagles for the final five uk shows ever. and on the 14th of may, manchester's elbow have a hometown show. it's wonderful getting another arena in manchester. it's a purpose—built music venue, so you don't have to worry about all the seating behind you. this new venue probably needs a bit of scuffing up, so we're looking forward to our fans coming and doing exactly that. i'd say we've graffitied most of the dressing rooms we've ever been in, yeah. and the really good trick is it's got a high ceiling, it's like getting a human pyramid to get up there, some pizza and scuttling up to the top with a biro. but with two small music venues closing every week in the uk, i wanted to know if a very big one co—0p live had any plans on how they could help.

do you worry about the future? because that is where your next generation of headliners comes from. we're here to be a part of the community. i'm not here to take your ticket. i'm here to make this a better place to live and inspire you. and i'm here to bring a new enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit to what we do as a company here that will include theatres and clubs once i get this beast open. tens of thousands of runners will take their marks tomorrow for what could be the largest london marathon ever held. the elite race will be hotly contested — but the costumes on display in the mass participation event promise to be just as eye—catching. of course, behind each of those costumes is a story as breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been finding out. it's almost here. runners are getting ready. there's just 21! hours left to go. whose idea was this, jackie?

my idea. i'm sorry, guys, i'm sorry. all my idea. right now, around 50,000 people are preparing to show london exactly what they've got. and what you have, nathaniel, is...? i've got a trombone. fanfare and i've got a cereal box! and you've got...? a london bus with ten people in it. i think the brilliant thing about the london marathon is behind every costume, there's a really emotional story. mine is that ten years ago, i was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32. jackie scully feared the worst, but came through. and so tomorrow, to celebrate that... we are trying to break the guinness world record for the fastest marathon in a ten—person costume, and we are going as a london bus. for me, being able to stand next to my friends, people who've got me into running, people who stood by my side when i ran through chemo, people who believed in me when i didn't believe in myself, and to be able to bring them

all together is just such an incredible thing. it feels really comfortable. no, it doesn't. it's heavy, it's cumbersome, it's going to wobble, it's going to move, we might trip each other up, but the main thing is we're doing it as one big team, and we're going to celebrate jackie's ten years clear together. so go on, say it again. ten years clear. once more with feeling. ten years clear! antarctica was pretty amazing. us marine corps marathon, washington dc. meet sally. sally 0range, hence the obsession with fruit. prince william saw me in this and asked me why i was dressed as tomato. i'm a strawberry, of course! i'm the only person in the world that's ran a marathon on every continent dressed as a different piece of fruit. good luck! thank you! have a great time!

i have struggled with my mental health for over 20 years. it's taken me to a point where i didn't want to live. i managed to get help with the help of the samaritans and other professionals and i am here now to see another day and show others that, you know, there is hope. you know, i really do wake up each day now and feel very privileged to have the day ahead. hello, london marathon. thank you. so i hope that if people see me on sunday that, first of all, they'll smile, they'll see my costume, and it'll give them inspiration and hope that, if ever they're struggling, that they'll pick up the phone to samaritans, that there is somebody there, there's people thinking of them, and reallyjust to believe in tomorrow, because it is another

day and every day is different and things do get better — i promise you. things do get better. good luck. thank you so much. thank you. everyone really does have a story in london's marathon. and when you watch the crowds tomorrow, look out for nathaniel. he will be running to make the most of every moment he has. 18 months ago... i was told i had stage four incurable bowel cancer and that the prognosis wasn't great, that the five—year survival chances are around 10%. but you know what? that day i found out, i ran home because that's what running means to me — you know, it's my therapy, it helps get me through. i'm just out of three months of brutal chemo, honestly, and it's just coincided with a little break from that to do the london marathon. i'm just now looking at using every healthy window to just do

whatever i can with life. what's the point in moping around and just waiting to die? london's marathon is a moment to celebrate, commemorate, come together and, of course, it's about charity. and i am raising money for macmillan cancer support because they help people like me, people who may have hope of surviving, and all of their friends and family. i'm raising money for breast cancer now because they helped me when i thought my life was going to be taken away. i'm running for samaritans and i want you to know, believe in tomorrow. oh, i can't actually clap. jane mccubbin, bbc news. good luck! rowers at oxford university will today name one of their boats �*river action' in honour of a campaign group which aims to hold water companies to account

for river pollution. it comes amid concern over high levels of e.coli in the river thames during last month's oxford and cambridge boat races, when one rower fell ill before the race. temperatures below the average for the time of year. it's been colder than what we would have expected to see in april. we've had snow in helsinki today. three degrees, flurries of snow. central parts of europe not making double figures. we are feeling the chill as that cold air arrives from the north. the weather is quiet. a lot of welcome,

dry weather. here is the satellite picture. cloud building in through the morning. some areas still quite sunny. some areas overcast. temperatures, best in the west, 15 celsius in northern ireland. 0n the coast, 9—10 c. temperatures are on the down, pollen levels are on the up. high in the south—west. aerial amounts of cloud through tonight i don't think this coming night will be quite as cold as last night but still, in some spots, temperatures could drop close to freezing in the morning, given the clear skies overnight. variable amounts of cloud tomorrow, sunshine forsure. overnight. variable amounts of cloud tomorrow, sunshine for sure. the best of the sun in the west. 18 celsius again in northern ireland.

but on the coast, not even making 10 celsius. wednesday, high pressure. caught on the eastern edge of high pressure means cloud across much of the uk. dribs and drabs of rain. not particularly pleasant. 10 celsius in hull. in belfast, 11! celsius. is it going to warm up? not significantly so in the days ahead. in fact, if we look at the outlook for the week, it's going to stay generally on the chilly side with a little rain now and then.

live from london, this is bbc news. nine people reported dead, including four children, after israel strikes homes in southern gaza — where the un says the threat of disease is growing. we are scared, we are traumatised, we are thinking where we should go, but no—one can answer the question. ukraine hopes for more air defence systems in the war against russia, as the us lawmakers prepare to vote on a military aid package. and a treat for vinyl fans — its world record store day. we'll be live in london.

hello. i'm nicky schiller. we start in the middle east, where nine people, including at least four children, have reportedly been killed in rafah in the southern gaza strip, as israeli planes and tanks pounded various parts of the territory overnight. the israeli war cabinet has been planning a large offensive against hamas in rafah, which is where an estimated 1.5 million displaced palestinians are sheltering. the us and other allies have warned israel against a full—scale assault on the city. from jerusalem, wyre davies reports. the effect of six months of war has created a desperate humanitarian crisis in gaza. but amid the ruins of conflict, in some areas, aid is now getting through and can make the difference between surviving or dying of hunger. flower delivery
