and i think that she comes through as really kind of the woman behind the monarchy. the collection is a reminder of the power of photography over the past hundred years to shape public perception of the royal family. daniela relph, bbc news, the king's gallery at buckingham palace. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. i'm going to start with an exhibition of weather pictures for you today, and i think you will like some more than others. this you today, and i think you will like some more than others.— you today, and i think you will like some more than others. this is how it looks in the _ some more than others. this is how it looks in the north _ some more than others. this is how it looks in the north of— some more than others. this is how it looks in the north of scotland. - it looks in the north of scotland. blue skies and sunshine, some of the best of the weather, really, however, a bit further south on the east coast, some mist and murk and further south again in southern england, its cloud, its outbreaks of rain. you can see the wet weather
1:31 pm
that's been working its way in from the east on the radar picture. it's been a really soggy morning across parts of east anglia, the rain getting across the midlands into parts of north—west england, north wales, thundery downpours in the south—west of england but for the northern half of the uk spells of sunshine, the odd thundery showers and temperatures in the highlands up to 24 and temperatures in the highlands up to 2a degrees. not at all is that further south because of the cloud and outbreaks of rain and across parts of the north and west of midlands, north and mid wales, we could see enough rain through the afternoon and evening to give local surface water flooding and travel disruption and the risk of these thundery downpours dumping a lot of rain in a short space of time across the south—west of england. however, tonight, all of that weather slides away westwards, a band of cloud left behind across wales and northern england, the mist and fog patches elsewhere and temperatures generally between 7—12 . like this morning
1:32 pm
we'll get off to a murky start tomorrow but more in the way of bright weather, some spells of sunshine albeit with a scattering of showers and those temperatures, again, parts of western scotland up to 23, 20 4 degrees but further south warmer than today, highs of 21, maybe 22 degrees. mix prospects as we head into the weekend, some mist and fog in the night but spells of warm sunshine with a scattering of warm sunshine with a scattering of showers and perhaps more persistent rain across the south—east of england as we start off the weekend. this little weather front bringing outbreaks of rain for a time across east anglia and the south—east of england. that will tend to clear. a lot of mist and murk on saturday morning but that should tend to lift and break up. some spells of sunshine but still some showers, most plentiful across southern areas, the odd heavy thundery one but temperatures 23 in glasgow, broadlyi9—20, buta thundery one but temperatures 23 in glasgow, broadly 19—20, but a little bit cooler in the north of scotland, more cloud rolling on here as we go through the day on sunday. again, some mist and murk, but some sunny
1:33 pm
spells starting to develop. most places dry, the small chance of one or two showers. temperatures high teens or low 20s but cooler than it is now across the north of scotland. that is all for now. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at one. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello, welcome along to sportsday on bbc news with me ben croucher. coming up... celtic celebrate another scottish title. we'll hearfrom brendan rodgers — probably one of the proudest men in glasgow. the title's not quite wrapped up for chelsea. but the destination of the wsl is in their hands and their boss says they'll give it everything on saturday. and as tyson fury aims to become undisputed heavyweight champion — the last man to hold that title shares his thoughts ahead of the big fight with 0leksandr usyk.
1:34 pm
thanks for your company. they only needed a point. the reality was that even avoiding a heavy defeat would have been enough but when you've won 11 of the last 12 scottish premierships, you know how to get over the line. and celtic did it in some style, thrashing kilmarnock 5—0 to make it 12 from 13 and returning to a hero's welcome at celtic park. having beaten rangers at the weekend, it was more a matter of when and not if the fireworks would be lit and that answer was late last night. for manager brendan rodgers, a third premiership title having returned to the club last summer. so proud of the team because in those moments, there was a lot of criticism, we stayed with it, stayed focused and believed in what we were
1:35 pm
doing and gradually under immense pressure in these last couple of months, a lot of pressure on the players but you only need to look at the results and performances to see how they cope with it. find the results and performances to see how they cope with it.— how they cope with it. and potential for a league — how they cope with it. and potential for a league and _ how they cope with it. and potential for a league and cup _ how they cope with it. and potential for a league and cup double? - how they cope with it. and potential for a league and cup double? that's| for a league and cup double? that's the lan. for a league and cup double? that's the plan- we _ for a league and cup double? that's the plan- we are — for a league and cup double? that's the plan. we are here _ for a league and cup double? that's the plan. we are here to _ for a league and cup double? that's the plan. we are here to win. - for a league and cup double? that's the plan. we are here to win. a - the plan. we are here to win. a trophy day is always a special day at celtic park and then we can get ready for an amazing final and occasion. well by contrast, erik ten hag has endured a rocky season with manchester united in the premier league and even his post match thank you speech at old trafford last night wasn't greeted with universal affection. they've got an outside chance of finishing seventh and are in the fa cup final and the united boss is determined to end the season on a high. it's always nice to win any game but it is important to win the last game in old trafford for this season and it is very important and i think the fans deserve this because they have had so many difficult times but they always stayed with us. when we go to
1:36 pm
brighton, last game, important for the ranking so we need three points and that is the only way how we don't have it in our hands but we have to do ourjob to win the game. after languishing in mid table for much of the season, chelsea have lostjust one in ia to propel themselves up to sixth, aided by last night's 2—1 win over brighton. they'll be in europe next season with a draw on the final day — validation for their hard work according to mauricio pochettino. it is massive credit to our players and, yes, i am so happy because the three points puts us in a very good position in the table to attack in the last game against bournemouth, the last game against bournemouth, the possibility to be in europe. and this is how the table looks going into that final weekend. whether 6th or 7th earns a europa or conference league place depends on manchester united winning the fa cup or not but they'll finish 8th unless they better newcastle's result on sunday. in the race for 5th, if spurs lose to sheffield united, chelsea will leapfrog them
1:37 pm
by beating bournemouth. there's set to be a thrilling finish too to the women's super league. it's the final round of games on saturday, with the top two, reigning champions chelsea, and manchester city level on points at the top. thats after chelsea got the win they needed. a single goal saw them past spurs last night. city losing last time out to arsenal means chelsea are ahead with a better goal difference of just two. emma hayes can lead her side to a fifth straight title at manchester united we've got to go to old trafford and a fitting finale for me, my final game. as i said to the players, if someone gives you a second chance in life, make sure you don't need a third one! so, we are in the position we want to be and we will give it everything on saturday no matter what. so this how they go into the final day of the season. the only thing undecided — who are the champions. chelsea, go to manchester united who are potentially still on a high
1:38 pm
after that fa cup final victory last weekend. city are away to aston villa needing to better chelsea's result by three goals for their first title since 2016. the us pga championship — the second men's major of the year — is under way at valhalla in kentucky with defending champion brooks koepka, world number one scottie scheffler and rory mcilroy, fresh from victory at quail hollow on sunday expected to be in contention. mcilroy is already out on the course. this was his opening tee shot — finding some of the light rough down the side of that par—five tenth fairway. still on that opening hole at the moment. this is the latest leaderboard. play only being going for a little more than an hour after some early fog delayed the start. luke donald, the english ryder cup captain, leading the way. two under through his first three holes, matt
1:39 pm
wallace lies along an american. world number one scottie scheffler — aiming for a third win on the spin — tees off at 7:23 later. reigning champion brooks koepka, a three time winner of the tournament is teeing offjust before quarter to and has described valhalla as a "big boy golf course". ifeel good, feel like my game is in good shape right now. it will be interesting to see how the course plays, i think it's wet right now, don't know if the course plays, i think it's wet ri-ht now, don't know if we'll the course plays, i think it's wet right now, don't know if the course plays, i think it's wet ri-ht now, don't know if we'll net right now, don't know if we'll get any play this afternoon. it is in great shape, just as i remember. obviously changed the grass on the fairways, i think it has made it a little easier to chip off of but it is a good track, big boy golf course. just a couple of days to go now until one of the biggest fights in a generation as tyson fury and oleksander usyk battle to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. the last man to hold that title has told the bbc how he thinks it is going to go down in ryiadh on saturday.
1:40 pm
lennox lewis has been speaking to our boxing reporter ade adedoyin. this is without doubt one of the biggest weeks in both fighters might make careers. both are champions, both undefeated but this is an opportunity for one of the two men to write his name in the history books as the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world this century. both have looked very relaxed all week, had all these media events, playing to the crowd, big personalities here but there is an awful lot of pressure on both men. sometimes the week can defeat a fighter with so many media obligations and being pulled one way or another. obligations and being pulled one way oranother. one obligations and being pulled one way or another. one man who has been through it all and reached a pinnacle is lennox lewis, the last man to win all the major bout in the division way back in 1999. tyson fury looked bad in the ngannou fight and i think he realised that himself and what he did was really focus. and you can tell he focused because look at his body, he is shredded, he is muscular. he is looking quick and that is the way we know tyson fury and
1:41 pm
he is looking quick and that is the way we know tyson fury— he is looking quick and that is the way we know tyson fury and we know him at his best _ way we know tyson fury and we know him at his best when _ way we know tyson fury and we know him at his best when he _ way we know tyson fury and we know him at his best when he is _ way we know tyson fury and we know him at his best when he is lighter, - him at his best when he is lighter, focused and we are looking forward to it. if i was tyson fury, i would keep usyk on the ropes, keep him backing up, focus on myjab and keep him at length because i am the bigger guy, i am the taller guy, i have the longer reach so i'm going to use all of that to my advantage. if i was usyk, how would i fight tyson fury? probably... probably move around a little bit and pick my times to launch an attack and not get hit. always stay elusive. my my gut instinct is telling me how this fight will play out would be it is going to be like a chess match in the first four migrants, i think the middle rounds they are going to really open up because they realise, it is half the fight already so i've got to move! 50 i think we are going to get a lot of action in the middle rounds. i think both guys are looking to win and the bigger guy
1:42 pm
has longer arms, great movement. both have great movement. both want to win so it is going to be a great fight. so maybe tyson fury you are thinking? i so maybe tyson fury you are thinking?— so maybe tyson fury you are thinkin: ? ~ , , , ., thinking? i think tyson fury should win it by points- — thinking? i think tyson fury should win it by points. white _ thinking? i think tyson fury should win it by points. white might - thinking? i think tyson fury should j win it by points. white might tyson fury has been telling us for he is the best fighter this generation, saturday night is a chance for him to prove it. asp 0leksandr usyk, what a career he has had, former champion at a cruiserweight division now trying become undisputed champion, only one other man has achieved it. on saturday night, he is trying tojoin achieved it. on saturday night, he is trying to join a very, very exclusive club. and if you look at this picture you can pretty much guess what i'm going to talk about now. last night a match in mls was interrupted by a furry friend. where sport and nature intertwine as a raccoon came onto the pitch during a game between the philadelphia union
1:43 pm
and new york city fc. and if you wanted an answer to the age old question — how many people does it take to catch a raccoon. well 4, 5, 6 and a big old bucket. got away the first time, got him then, no recurrence harmed! —— no raccoons harmed! he's been given the nickname racquinho. for raccoon ending up in that big giant bucket! —— usyk raccoon! you're watching bbc news. i'm nicky schiller. let's get more now on our top story. the labour leader sir keir starmer has set out the first steps he would take if his party wins the next general election. there are six key pledges — to deliver economic stability by sticking to tough spending rules. cut nhs waiting lists by providing 40,000 more appointments each week across england. launch a border security command to stop gangs arranging
1:44 pm
small boat crossings. set up a publicly—owned clean power energy company. reduce anti—social behaviour by providing more neighbourhood police officers. and recruit 6,500 more teachers across england. these are our first steps. they enable us, if you like, to look the public in the eye and say, "this is our down payment on change." the conservatives say sir keir starmer has "no coherent plan". here's the tory party chairman, richard holden. this is keir starmer�*s 16th re—launch in a few months. i mean, he's dumped every pledge that he made during the labour leadership campaign. he's dumped every pledge he made when he tried to getjeremy corbyn in to be prime minister — not once but twice. i think people need to take with an enormous pinch of salt anything that he's putting forward. it's quite clear that labour don't have a cohesive plan and would take the country back to square one. i have no idea why anybody would believe a word that keir starmer says when every
1:45 pm
single time he's got a different audience to play for, he changes his tune, he changes what he's saying and changes what he says he stands for. you know, 16 re—launches in a matter of a couple of years after four years in opposition — he's not got a cohesive plan. i think it says everything you need to know about keir starmer. a reminder you can get more reaction and analysis to sir keir�*s speech setting out the first steps he would take if his party wins the next election online. you'll find it on the bbc news website or bbc app. junior doctors in england have entered mediation talks with the government — aimed at ending their long—running dispute over pay and conditions. there have been no formal discussions between the parties since negotiations collapsed in december. our health editor hugh pym reports. what do we want? fair pay! when do we want it? now! it's been a bitter and prolonged pay
