7:30 pm
investigation into his killing. stephen was 18 when he was stabbed to death in a racist attack in south london — 31 years ago today. last year the bbc named matthew white as the sixth suspect in the case. following that apology from sir mark rowley — the mayor of london was asked whether he had confidence in the metropolitan police to deal with this case moving forward. i think the firm has been let down over the last three decades by police officers over the course of the last three decades. david lewis casey, in a recent report found that the police service was still institutionally racist. i think there are lessons to be learnt. i had a frank conversation with sir mark rowley today. he'll be asking a separate police force to look into the assessment the police the police have made in relation to the fresh evidence.
7:31 pm
the police, the met police have made in relation to the fresh evidence. i am hoping that reassures the lawrence family at door the lawrence family, doran in particular that under the new leadership in the police service, they will redouble their efforts to make sure that doreen and the family think that this police service has learned the lessons from yesterday. with more on this — daniel de simone reports. the racist murder of stephen lawrence took place 31 years ago today at a south london bus stop. two of the original five prime suspects were convicted almost 20 years after the murder. but the met�*s disastrous handling of the case means no—one else has been brought tojustice. last year, the bbc publicly identified a sixth suspect, matthew white, who died in 2021 and revealed multiple failures by the met to properly investigate him. now, stephen's mother, baroness doreen lawrence, gives her first interview about the new evidence
7:32 pm
and the met�*s response. we knew there was five, possibly six, and now we know that there was six and the one that's just passed away, he's probably the key one who probably caused stephen's murder. and they did nothing about it. we showed not everything possible was done before the murder investigation was closed four years ago. baroness lawrence now has a personal message for the met commissioner, sir mark rowley. there's still lines of inquiries for them to follow up on. there's still three suspects out there, and i'm sure there's witnesses that probably could help them, if they're interested. so i think that's what i'd like to see him do, is to instruct his team to follow up on the information, whatever is out there. because if you don't go and look, you're never going to find anything. the officer now responsible for the case, deputy assistant commissioner matt ward, promised baroness lawrence answers last year about the met�*s handling of the sixth suspect, but failed
7:33 pm
to provide them. he wrote to her injanuary to say he's ashamed and regretful, and then went silent. last week her lawyer wrote to the met commissioner himself to complain. now, in a statement to the bbc, sir mark says: she says she won't settle for the met�*s failures. i don't think any mother would want to do that. and i'm no different. i think all mothers would want to make sure that they're there to support their child if something happened. it's to hold those accountable for what happened to that person. reporter: from the bbc. bleep three prime suspects, including brothers neil and jamie acourt, remain free.
7:34 pm
they've always denied murder. were you there when stephen lawrence was attacked? so would you like to see the investigation reopened? definitely so. she says the outstanding suspects are cheating justice. they're living their lives. they don't have to worry because the police have no intention of following up and seeking to investigate them. and they continue to get away with murder. daniel de simone, bbc news. they have no agreed that an independent police force will review the lawrence case. those calls from stephen's mother for the the lawrence case. those calls from stephen's motherfor the inquiry to be reopened, more of course i was always on our website. the president of ecuador has won won a referendum on introducing tougher security, to counter a surge in violence by drugs gangs. the new measures include
7:35 pm
allowing the military to patrol the streets, and the imposition of harsher jail sentences. the country now has the highest murder rate in latin america — as the influence of powerful drug cartels has grown. ione wells sent this report from the capital, quito. ecuador�*s capital, quito, is bursting with life. but among the songs and smiles, clues that this is now the continent's most violent country. the bloodshed at this youth centre is just a sport. but on the streets, many young people are losing their lives at the hands of violent drug cartels. carmen's brother was killed by a gang member who wanted money when he wasjust 19. translation: the gang i threatened us at our house, throwing stones at us because the murder occurred next to my son. they said if the gang member goes to the prison, my son would be the next person to die. i think militarising the country is not the solution. instead of investing that, they should invest in the youth.
7:36 pm
a cocaine dealer known as el gato illustrates her point. translation: | started selling - and smoking when i was 14 years old. we went through financial problems. my mother was always working and never there for me. i was alone in the house, crying and screaming for my mum. then i met my friends — bad friends — who introduced me to drugs. i believe that the country's economic crisis is what led to so much crime. surprisingly, he backed more security measures, saying he wanted a way out of this life and addiction. this vote was called in response to scenes like these — armed men holding a tv station hostage, prison riots, mass killings and kidnappings. this led to a state of emergency, where the military were brought in to fight gangs. the government hopes the results gives its a mandate for this to continue. translation: we need security. get rid of narco trafficking and criminality to bring peace to this country. i'm voting no because
7:37 pm
militarising ecuador won't be beneficial for ecuadorians. for example, during the protests, they brought out the military and that wasn't against narco traffickers, but against the people. this vote to increase police and military powers has had a mixed reaction here. those who have been victims of police brutality tell me they worry it could lead to more human rights abuses. but some of those who voted yes told me they think it could give them back another right — the right to go about their daily lives without a constant fear of violence. most people agree on one thing — they all want this nation to go back to being the relatively peaceful haven it once was, even if many think that might take a miracle. ione wells, bbc news in quito. the kremlin says the $61 billion military aid package to ukraine — approved by american lawmakers — will not change the situation on the frontlines. but ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, says the help will give his country a chance of victory in the war. the aid is likely to include air defence systems,
7:38 pm
mid to long—range missiles, and artillery shells. ukraine's forces have been coming under increasing pressure in the east of the country — where russia has captured hundreds more kilometres of territory. kurt volker, former us ambassador to nato told the bbc about the significance of this. it's going to make a difference. and in the first instance, it is about giving ukraine the ammunition it needs to hold the line. the only reason the russian forces have advanced a little bit in recent months is because of the lack of ammunition on the ukrainian side. so that's going to be rectified. second, it will replenish the anti—aircraft systems or the air defence systems that ukraine has to protect kiev, odessa and other cities. that's also critically important because they are running low on air defence munitions. but most importantly, this package appears that it will contain the longest range artillery systems that the us can provide the attack, as well as other long range systems which will allow ukraine to go
7:39 pm
further behind the front line to attack russian supply lines. now this is what russia is using to keep its forces supplied in the field and to keep the war going and to maintain its control of crimea. so giving ukraine these longer range systems will be absolutely critical for changing the trajectory of the conflict. still to come on the world today — taylor swift fans descend on a london pub mentioned on her new album. we'll be speaking to actress vicky mcclure and her husband jonny owen about a daytime disco for the over 30s. around the world and across the uk. this is the world today on bbc news.

something known as near shoring, amidst the trade war between the ute china in the us, scores of chinese companies have been taking advantage of conditions in northern mecca so to get around us sanctions on chinese goods by making those same products in mexico instead. at the same time big us firms have relocated from asia to mexico, so what are the pros and cons of this, our mexico correspondent will grant reports not from the northern city of monterey. the final product is considered 100% mexican, imposed on china amid a worsening trade war with the us.

reassessed and for those who are deemed to be eligible for that scheme, he said they will not be deported to rwanda. so that is one of the issues where there is been a real row, one of the many reasons there's been a bit of a stalemate with this legislation and dez brown, former labour defence secretary in house of lords put forward that amendment again this evening, said he now may not push that one to a vote. we have to make wait and see, it may get under way in the next few minutes or so, that may be enough to buy off certain peers, there is one more amendment there from the cross bench pier, was in the name of lord hope, now in the name of lord anderson, the idea of an independent monitoring committee saying to the government, just wait a little bit until we can say for sure that rwanda is a safe place to send asylum—seekers will set the expectation is there will still be a fair amount of support for that amendment. rishi sunak said earlier on today he is prepared to go long

into the night to get this legislation through, just some little signs here of a bit of movement that might finally get this bill, all important really, to the prime minister �*s pledge to get flights off the ground for wanda and ultimately stop small boat arrivals, edging just a little bit closer. t’m edging 'ust a little bit closer. i'm sure edging just a little bit closer. i'm sure you'll _ edging just a little bit closer. i'm sure you'll be — edging just a little bit closer. i'm sure you'll be across it throughout the evening for us, thank you very much indeed. music star taylor swift's new album — the tortued poets department — was released on friday and has already been streamed hundreds of millions of times. it has also sparked huge interest from herfans in a certain london pub that she alludes to in her lyrics: "i watch as you walk into some bar called the black dog" — and this is it! this pub in vauxhall has been mobbed my swifties going infora pint. the pub's manager is naturally delighted. it's been pretty crazy, but amazing. like, so overwhelmingly positive. everybody�*s been so lovely, the swifties have been amazing. endless photos, lots of questions about which ex attends frequently. i don't think we can speak too much on it,

so i'll leave it a mystery. it's a hundred years this month since the first bbc schools broadcast was aired, with the idea of educating and entertaining children. 0ur reporter ricky boleto looks back. a house with a door. windows... for many, this is the sound of their childhood. ready to play? what's the day? it's monday! we found your very first appearance on playschool. it's even got the old clapperboard there at the front. oh, my goodness me. have a look at that. and this is floella. hello. one of playschool�*s best loved presenters, baroness floella benjamin, first appeared in 1976. don't you look smart, big ted? education should be fun. education should be fulfilling. education should be exciting.

and that's what we used to do for the children — make them feel excited about learning. but in the early days, it was quite different. in 1957, bbc television for schools began. the first of this afternoon's - programmes for schools and colleges follows in one minute. and remember this voice? hello, word watchers! ha—ha! i'm wordy. i'm mr watchword, the word watcher. i think after a very short space of time, we realised that wordy was extremely popular with the children because of the feedback from the teachers and all the schools. but not only were they being entertained, but they were learning. the way that young people and children get their educational content from the bbc has definitely evolved with the times. as we race into the �*90s, technology transforms bbc education. bitesize, the online learning portal for young people, is launched. we've got a little page here. here we are. gcse bitesize revision...

becoming even more relevant during the covid—19 pandemic as schools across the uk closed. this is the bbc light programme. from gathering around the wireless to live lessons streaming on smart boards. and it's time for us to go now. until tomorrow, bye—bye. ricky boleto, bbc news. it is time for me to go now, here's the weather. hello there. a bit of a disappointing day again for this stage in april — rather grey, cloudy, damp, certainly across england and wales, where it did feel really chilly once again. and that chilly feel will continue for the rest of the week, with the best of the sunshine towards western areas — always more cloud towards the north and east. you can see the arctic air pretty much lingering across the uk over the next few days, pretty much until we reach the weekend, in fact, where things may turn a bit milder in the south. but we've had thick cloud across england and wales, courtesy of these weather fronts, which have brought outbreaks of light and patchy rain. and that patchy rain will continue
7:56 pm
across eastern england, spreading southwards into the midlands, southern southeast england through the night. further north and west, we'll have clearer skies here — so quite a chilly night to come, a touch of frost here and there. further south and east less cold because we'll have the cloud cover and outbreaks of rain. so for tuesday, we hold onto our high pressure system sitting out to the west of us — that's what's bringing us these northerly winds and that chilly air. we have that weather front still lingering across the south and east of england. so, rather cloudy start, further patches of rain here through the morning. it doesn't really improve much into the afternoon here, so rather cool and grey, chilly along north sea coast with the odd shower, but some good spells of sunshine further west. where we have plenty of sunshine and shelter, like glasgow, 16—17 celsius — single digits though along the north sea coast, and generally for most, i think highs of around 10—12 celsius. factor in the breeze, it'll feel chillier than that. as we head into tuesday night, early wednesday with i think a greater amount of clearer skies, then it'll be a colder night,
7:57 pm
i think for most, temperatures from freezing to around four celsius. so wednesday starts chilly, there will be sunshine from the word go — out west, more cloud, northern and eastern areas, where there'll be more of an onshore breeze for north sea coast, again, feeling quite raw there. but i think it generally a dry day for wednesday, just the chance of the odd shower close towards the east, the north sea coast there, where temperatures will be in single digits. further west again, the low teens. now, as we move through towards the end of the week, we could see this area of low pressure skirting past southern and western areas — that could start to throw up a few more showers in our direction. this could change, the details of this could change, but i think it's looking a bit more unsettled as we head into the weekend, maybe turning a bit milder across the south.
