The number of migrants reaching Europe illegally rises dramatically.

:00:00.:00:00.

More than 40,000 have made the journey,

The authorities struggle to cope with the numbers who try to cross

We need even more body bag for the number of migrants they are

News at Six. There's been a big rise in number

:01:19.:01:42.

of migrants reaching Europe illegally, many taking treacherous

:01:43.:01:46.

sea routes from North Africa, risking their lives in makeshift

:01:47.:01:48.

boats in the hope of a better life. In the first four months

:01:49.:01:52.

of this year, more than 40,000 The total so far is more than

:01:53.:01:54.

the equivalent period in 2011, which was the highest year

:01:55.:01:59.

in a decade, when 140,000 people Our correspondent Quentin

:02:00.:02:02.

Sommerville followed one group being smuggled out of Libya and sent this

:02:03.:02:07.

report from the city of Misrata. In an isolated Libyan jail, a

:02:08.:02:25.

doorway opens into gloom and human misery. Nearly 400 men, illegal

:02:26.:02:37.

immigrant from across Africa and beyond. There is barely room to sit,

:02:38.:02:53.

never mind sleep. They are sick and hungry. Most were trying to get to

:02:54.:03:00.

Europe. Did you pay men, smugglers to try to get you to Europe? Of

:03:01.:03:12.

course. Of course. We paid more than $1600 from Khartoum to Libya. On the

:03:13.:03:17.

floor, we found a man with bullet wounds. He would not say who had

:03:18.:03:22.

shot him. This is the moment when some of those in the jail were

:03:23.:03:27.

captured. The armed Coast Guard found them. They had been heading to

:03:28.:03:32.

Italy but their engine cut out after four hours. They have been drifting

:03:33.:03:38.

for two days. There are water and food had run out. It was pure luck

:03:39.:03:45.

that the Coast Guard found them. Colonel Reda Essa commanded the

:03:46.:03:51.

rescue. He says this is Europe's problem, as much as Libya's.

:03:52.:03:59.

TRANSLATION: We applied to the EU to buy boats and helicopters for search

:04:00.:04:03.

and rescue operations that we have not received anything. I think the

:04:04.:04:08.

EU countries, especially Italy, are not serious about fighting illegal

:04:09.:04:12.

immigration. On the open sea, it is the people smugglers, not the Coast

:04:13.:04:17.

Guard, who have the advantage. Libya's problem is that it has only

:04:18.:04:22.

eight of these boats to patrol 1200 miles of coastline, not nearly

:04:23.:04:26.

enough, according to the Navy. They say they need more night-vision

:04:27.:04:29.

goggles, and even more body bag is for the number of dead migrants they

:04:30.:04:32.

are retrieving from the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. We are taken

:04:33.:04:42.

inside Misrata's for -- morgue. It is so full of the bodies of

:04:43.:04:46.

migrants, he tells me, he had to jam the doors closed. Once, there were

:04:47.:04:53.

only three each year. Now, it is eight each week. The men crossing

:04:54.:05:00.

into Libya know that they are not welcome, but the promise of jobs and

:05:01.:05:04.

money in Europe, they say, is better than what they leave behind. Here,

:05:05.:05:12.

on our last day in Misrata, a truck is found with a false compartment.

:05:13.:05:17.

Inside, barely able to breathe, 24 men. One carries a single

:05:18.:05:26.

possession, a Bible. These men have risked everything to get this far.

:05:27.:05:31.

Without action, Libya warns, more and more will follow.

:05:32.:05:37.

Our world affairs correspondent Paul Adams is here.

:05:38.:05:40.

We saw people coming from Libya but what are the other routes that

:05:41.:05:43.

The route you heard Quentin talking about there is what the

:05:44.:05:50.

European Border Agency calls the Central Mediterranean Route,

:05:51.:05:52.

much the largest, according to the latest figures.

:05:53.:05:54.

But if you include the other routes into Europe, and this map shows a

:05:55.:05:57.

couple - the Western Mediterranean Route, which brings migrants from

:05:58.:06:00.

west Africa into Spain, and the Eastern Route, which comes in from

:06:01.:06:03.

the Middle East and Asia - then we estimate that the total figure

:06:04.:06:06.

As for who they are, I was with migrants in Calais this

:06:07.:06:10.

week and it was obvious that they come from far and wide.

:06:11.:06:13.

Lots of refugees from Syria, of course.

:06:14.:06:15.

But also migrants from West Africa, from all across the sub-Saharan

:06:16.:06:18.

countries and on into the Horn of Africa, particularly Eritrea.

:06:19.:06:22.

Lots, too, from Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

:06:23.:06:25.

Of course, the main migration routes bring them into some of

:06:26.:06:28.

the most economically stretched EU members - Spain, Italy and Greece.

:06:29.:06:33.

Some stay, others move on, drawn by the promise of better job

:06:34.:06:36.

But as anyone who has been to Calais will tell you, that's another really

:06:37.:06:45.

The new Chief Executive of NHS England, has signalled

:06:46.:06:57.

a shift in policy, saying smaller community hospitals should play an

:06:58.:06:59.

important role in providing care, especially for older patients.

:07:00.:07:02.

In an interview, Simon Stevens said the NHS must end "mass

:07:03.:07:05.

centralisation" of services, and that too many patients are being

:07:06.:07:08.

robbed of "dignity and compassion" because of a lack of local care.

:07:09.:07:13.

Here's our health correspondent Branwen Jeffreys.

:07:14.:07:23.

Good afternoon. Dressed and ready to go home from hospital. At 85, John

:07:24.:07:31.

Young is a regular patient, with different health problems. He tried

:07:32.:07:35.

going further afield, but he prefers his small, local hospital. It is

:07:36.:07:39.

easy to get to and his family can visit. The NHS should concentrate

:07:40.:07:44.

more on local hospitals, rather than vast spaces. I know you have to have

:07:45.:07:50.

the big hospitals for specialist treatment. But if you go to the

:07:51.:07:53.

local one and they decide you have two have specialist treatment, and

:07:54.:07:59.

of course you don't always need it. And now, the new boss of the NHS in

:08:00.:08:04.

England says that he agrees. He wants to see smaller hospitals

:08:05.:08:07.

reinventing themselves. What does here know they will need to work

:08:08.:08:11.

more closely with their patients' GPs. The vast majority of patients,

:08:12.:08:17.

particularly elderly patients, will have their needs best met in a local

:08:18.:08:21.

hospital, such as ours, or in an even more community setting. In

:08:22.:08:28.

recent years, the story of local hospitals has been one of decline,

:08:29.:08:33.

of services being stripped out or downgraded. Now the NHS is sending a

:08:34.:08:37.

message from the very top, that they do have a valuable role in the

:08:38.:08:42.

future. Many communities have taken to the street to campaign against

:08:43.:08:47.

the loss of Accident Emergency or maternity care. Some controversial

:08:48.:08:52.

changes will still go ahead, and each time a hospital loses a

:08:53.:08:57.

service, it loses the money. So, to avoid going bust, they would have to

:08:58.:09:02.

expand into other types of care. These hospitals would have to look

:09:03.:09:06.

hard at where they get their money from. The income they receive for

:09:07.:09:10.

treating particularly older patients will certainly have two increase to

:09:11.:09:15.

make them financially viable. Time for John Young to leave the hospital

:09:16.:09:20.

ward. I will be home soon. It won't be long now. He lives just a few

:09:21.:09:26.

miles away and, like many older patients, he wants the NHS to

:09:27.:09:28.

provide care close to his home. There has been outrage in India

:09:29.:09:31.

after two teenage girls were found hanged from a tree

:09:32.:09:37.

after having been gang raped.The family of the girls say

:09:38.:09:39.

the police laughed at them when they asked for help and ridiculed them

:09:40.:09:41.

for being of a low caste. The girls lived

:09:42.:09:44.

in a remote village in the northern Divya Arya's report

:09:45.:09:47.

from the scene contains disturbing It was a heart-wrenching scene. Two

:09:48.:10:06.

teenage cousins, aged 14 and 16, were found dead, their bodies

:10:07.:10:11.

hanging from this mango tree. A postmortem confirmed they had been

:10:12.:10:16.

gang raped. TRANSLATION: We were ready to go to

:10:17.:10:20.

the police station and the police officer came to me and said, the

:10:21.:10:25.

girls hanging from a tree. Relatives have complained that police refused

:10:26.:10:30.

help find the girls, who were from a lower caste. One policeman has now

:10:31.:10:34.

been arrested for conspiring with the suspects, and one has been

:10:35.:10:38.

sacked. TRANSLATION: Whatever happened, it

:10:39.:10:43.

was very wrong. It is a very serious issue. We will take the strictest

:10:44.:10:47.

action against the culprits. The gang raped and murder of a student

:10:48.:10:52.

on a Delhi bus in 2012 prompted the government to tighten the laws on

:10:53.:10:56.

sexual violence, but the issue has fallen off the agenda since, with

:10:57.:11:00.

the latest figures showing the number of reported rapes has almost

:11:01.:11:07.

doubled. Today, students took to the streets in protest at the gruesome

:11:08.:11:14.

murder of the women. The bodies of the two young women have been

:11:15.:11:25.

brought down from this tree, but the brutal violence that unfolded here

:11:26.:11:29.

has again brought the issue of violent crimes against women in

:11:30.:11:30.

India under the spotlight. The villagers here hope that the global

:11:31.:11:31.

media attention will help them in their fight for justice.

:11:32.:11:36.

There's further pressure on the Liberal Democrat leader,

:11:37.:11:38.

Nick Clegg, to re-admit Lord Rennard to the party, following

:11:39.:11:41.

his apology to four women who accused him of sexual harassment.

:11:42.:11:44.

Lord Steel, a former Lib Dem leader says the

:11:45.:11:46.

In the apology by Lord Rennard, the party's former chief executive, he

:11:47.:11:54.

accepts he may have inadvertently encroached on the women's personal

:11:55.:11:57.

space and expresses regret for any harm or embarrassment.

:11:58.:12:03.

More than 11,000 well-wishers have paid their respects at a vigil

:12:04.:12:06.

at Lichfield Cathedral for the teenager Stephen Sutton who

:12:07.:12:09.

Over ?4 million has now been raised by his campaign for the

:12:10.:12:13.

This morning, thousands of supporters also flooded

:12:14.:12:22.

social media sites with messages celebrating his life.

:12:23.:12:26.

The teenager was buried at a private family funeral this afternoon.

:12:27.:12:30.

From Lichfield, Robert Hall sent this report.

:12:31.:12:33.

Against a soul on sky, the colour of spring and of sunshine, the colour

:12:34.:12:40.

which has come to represent the life and spirit of one young man. Beneath

:12:41.:12:48.

the towers of Lichfield's ancient cathedral, patient feet shuffled

:12:49.:12:56.

slowly forward. Hands clutched, poses and photographs. Faces turned

:12:57.:13:01.

towards the gloom beyond the great West door and the white coffin

:13:02.:13:09.

within its circle of golden flowers. He was like Staffordshire's ray of

:13:10.:13:14.

sunshine. He has changed so many lives. When he realised he had an

:13:15.:13:17.

illness, he did not care about himself, he cared about others. That

:13:18.:13:22.

is the most important thing we can think of. I am working to be a nurse

:13:23.:13:26.

and I work with a lot of patients who are dealing with cancer, so it

:13:27.:13:31.

is nice to pass on his story and help them get through it. A day

:13:32.:13:35.

which could have been dark has been lit up by smiles. At 11 a.m., as the

:13:36.:13:42.

last chime echoed across the city, the Pilgrims held a mirror to

:13:43.:13:49.

Stephen Post carriage, optimism and generosity. Around the world, a

:13:50.:13:57.

thunderclap response. Thumbs held high. Individuals, workplaces and

:13:58.:14:04.

communities sharing the moment. This afternoon, two days of vigil drew to

:14:05.:14:07.

a close, Stephen's family sharing the final minutes with the visitors

:14:08.:14:18.

who had reached out to them. It has been a massive demonstration of

:14:19.:14:23.

love. They sang, as they recalled the images which summed up a

:14:24.:14:27.

teenager's determination to reach his personal goals against the odds.

:14:28.:14:35.

This has been a day of farewells, but it has also been a day of

:14:36.:14:38.

celebration, because Stephen Sutton would live on in the memories of his

:14:39.:14:42.

family and friends, through the inspiration he gave to so many

:14:43.:14:46.

others, and through the money he raised, over ?4 million, to help to

:14:47.:14:51.

fight the disease which cut his own life so short. The story of Stephen

:14:52.:14:54.

Sutton is not yet over. number of migrants trying to get to

:14:55.:15:10.

Europe illegally. More than 40,000 have made the

:15:11.:15:15.

journey so far this year. Coming up, I'm at Wembley where

:15:16.:15:19.

England take on Theroux in their last home match before the World Cup

:15:20.:15:20.

in Brazil. Later on BBC London:

Heading for court - the promising tennis star accusing

:15:26.:15:27.

the game's governing body of racial discrimination.

:15:28.:15:30.

And we meet the families who've come-up with a solution to beat

:15:31.:15:31.

the city's soaring house prices. Police in Newcastle are carrying out

:15:32.:15:46.

what's thought to be one of the UK's largest-ever investigations

:15:47.:15:48.

into the sexual abuse of girls and vulnerable women.

:15:49.:15:50.

Operation Sanctuary has already led to 91 arrests over

:15:51.:15:52.

the last five months. So far 14 men have been charged

:15:53.:15:56.

and some 80 possible victims have so far been identified.

:15:57.:16:01.

Jeremy Cooke has spent the day with the only charity in the area working

:16:02.:16:04.

with young people at risk . None of the young people

:16:05.:16:07.

in his report are linked to the on-going investigation.

:16:08.:16:11.

The night-time landscape of 21st century Britain.

:16:12.:16:21.

If you're young, vulnerable and maybe alone,

:16:22.:16:24.

this could be dangerous ground. In the Newcastle area,

:16:25.:16:26.

after a series of complaints, police launched Operation Sanctury.

:16:27.:16:28.

Since January, there have been dozens of arrests.

:16:29.:16:31.

Those working to help children face a huge challenge.

:16:32.:16:36.

There are adults in the city who will try to lure

:16:37.:16:40.

vulnerable young people to addresses in the city where really horrible

:16:41.:16:43.

things will take place. Young people will often be plied

:16:44.:16:46.

with alcohol or drugs and then exploited and abused

:16:47.:16:51.

by those adults. Often those most

:16:52.:16:53.

at risk are runaways, away from home and in danger.

:16:54.:16:55.

Girls like Amanda. My mam didn't want me.

:16:56.:17:11.

I kind of started drinking at 11 years old and I was getting

:17:12.:17:14.

into all sorts of drugs. You need somebody close

:17:15.:17:16.

to you to talk to. Er...

:17:17.:17:18.

If they're not there to talk to, you do end up doing stupid things

:17:19.:17:22.

and seeking love from other places. Did you think at

:17:23.:17:24.

the time that it was love? Yeah, at the time I did.

:17:25.:17:27.

We get a rare glimpse of young people who've come through a process

:17:28.:17:32.

which builds trust and confidence. The risks are going missing

:17:33.:17:34.

and getting sexually exploited. As former runaways, they know all

:17:35.:17:38.

about the dangers out there and the value of this - group support - and

:17:39.:17:44.

volunteering to help others at risk. If it can be a hostile environment,

:17:45.:17:48.

the streets and estates are where we find practical help.

:17:49.:17:52.

The first task is to locate those most at risk.

:17:53.:17:56.

So I guess you must knock on a lot of doors, right?

:17:57.:17:59.

Yeah, we do. We do a lot of return interviews for

:18:00.:18:02.

young people that have gone missing. We're with Danielle, out

:18:03.:18:05.

door-knocking to make first contact with runaways who've returned home.

:18:06.:18:10.

It can be a critical moment. If they can be reached, they may

:18:11.:18:14.

be saved from sexual abuse. It is all confidential stuff

:18:15.:18:18.

and this is as far as we're going. But it's also crucial to understand

:18:19.:18:21.

where young people have been, what they've been doing

:18:22.:18:27.

and who they've been with. We have a significant population

:18:28.:18:30.

of children who are in care. We've got levels

:18:31.:18:33.

of childhood poverty, we've got mixed demographics,

:18:34.:18:36.

we've got a night-time economy and we've got the city centre.

:18:37.:18:40.

And I would say if you've got those ingredients, there is

:18:41.:18:42.

a real chance that you are going to get pockets of sexual exploitation.

:18:43.:18:47.

It's a real worry. Clearly, then,

:18:48.:18:49.

the challenges remain huge. Nobody here is saying that this is

:18:50.:18:53.

about a single organised gang preying on children

:18:54.:18:56.

and vulnerable women, but rather pockets of abuse across the region.

:18:57.:19:01.

The ongoing police operation has led to 91 arrests - and counting.

:19:02.:19:11.

Jeremy Cooke, BBC News, Newcastle. Part of a hotel

:19:12.:19:14.

in Londonderry has been badly damaged by a firebomb which went

:19:15.:19:17.

off while an Army bomb disposal team were trying to defuse it.

:19:18.:19:19.

The device was thrown into the reception area of the

:19:20.:19:22.

Everglades Hotel late last night. Police say quick thinking by hotel

:19:23.:19:25.

staff helped prevented a tragedy. Guests have been taken to

:19:26.:19:29.

other hotels in the city. A key commitment made

:19:30.:19:33.

by the Government, after abuse of the mentally ill in care homes was

:19:34.:19:36.

exposed by the BBC, is to be missed. Health officials promised that

:19:37.:19:40.

people with learning disabilities living in units sometimes hundreds

:19:41.:19:43.

of miles from home should be moved back to their local communities -

:19:44.:19:46.

where abuse would be more likely to be picked up on.

:19:47.:19:49.

The deadline is this Sunday but, as our social affairs correspondent

:19:50.:19:51.

Michael Buchanan reports, the situation is actually getting worse.

:19:52.:20:02.

An everyday moment for a child whose life is far from commonplace.

:20:03.:20:06.

Josh Wills suffers from autism. His arms need restraining to

:20:07.:20:09.

prevent him from self-harming. After his condition worsened,

:20:10.:20:11.

he was sent to an inpatient unit in Birmingham, 260 miles

:20:12.:20:14.

from his home in Cornwall. The 13-year-old was meant

:20:15.:20:16.

to stay for six months. So far, he's been there a year

:20:17.:20:20.

and a half as there's no suitable support him closer to home.

:20:21.:20:28.

-- support for him. His father can only visit him once

:20:29.:20:31.

a fortnight. Sometimes I think...

:20:32.:20:33.

"Am I going to see Josh again?". But he keeps soldiering on.

:20:34.:20:38.

He keeps fighting on. He's fighting the demons that are

:20:39.:20:45.

making him do whatever he is doing. What happened at Winterbourne View

:20:46.:20:47.

prompted much change in the care system but

:20:48.:20:52.

a key deadline will be missed - a commitment by ministers, NHS England

:20:53.:20:55.

and councils to move residents from these far-off units closer to

:20:56.:21:01.

their homes by this Sunday. A census carried out last September

:21:02.:21:05.

revealed that 3250 people with learning disabilities were living

:21:06.:21:10.

in inpatient units across England. Rather than fall, over the last six

:21:11.:21:15.

months the figures have increased. 90% of all inpatients have not been

:21:16.:21:19.

given a date when they'll be discharged.

:21:20.:21:22.

Ministers are appalled. There's very little change and

:21:23.:21:24.

for me, essentially, it's been business as usual.

:21:25.:21:29.

And what I find deeply distressing is that a significant number

:21:30.:21:32.

of national organisations came together to commit to change.

:21:33.:21:38.

A change that I think there is a moral imperative to deliver,

:21:39.:21:42.

and yet it hasn't happened. This clinic in Ealing in West London

:21:43.:21:45.

is unique. Services here are specifically

:21:46.:21:49.

focused on keeping young people with disabilities out of inpatient units.

:21:50.:21:52.

Charities say the reason such good care isn't more

:21:53.:21:56.

widely available - to children and adults - is simply due to a lack

:21:57.:22:02.

of will to change the system. It is an absolute lack

:22:03.:22:05.

of leadership by the Government. It is not about money.

:22:06.:22:08.

We know that these services could be provided much more economically

:22:09.:22:11.

in the community. So for us, the Royal Mencap Society,

:22:12.:22:15.

it's a lack of leadership. It's a story about your brother.

:22:16.:22:19.

For the families are struggling to cope, the broken promise

:22:20.:22:23.

just adds to their woes. But with no new deadline being

:22:24.:22:26.

announced, many fear that their loved ones will simply be forgotten.

:22:27.:22:33.

Michael Buchanan, BBC News. The former England cricket captain

:22:34.:22:35.

Andrew Flintoff says he's returning to the game

:22:36.:22:37.

after a five-year absence. Lancashire say

:22:38.:22:41.

the 36-year-old will play in this season's T20 tournament.

:22:42.:22:44.

Away from cricket, Flintoff took up boxing - fighting and winning

:22:45.:22:46.

his debut bout as a professional heavyweight 18 months ago.

:22:47.:22:49.

Flintoff hopes to make his return in a home match against Yorkshire

:22:50.:22:54.

next Friday. England play Peru tonight at Wembley

:22:55.:22:56.

in their last game before flying out to prepare

:22:57.:22:59.

for the World Cup in Brazil. In a moment we'll be at Wembley

:23:00.:23:02.

for the latest ahead of tonight's match but first Wyre Davies reports

:23:03.:23:06.

from Rio - where the FA's choice of base for the team has raised a few

:23:07.:23:09.

eyebrows with its proximity to one of the city's biggest favelas,

:23:10.:23:12.

the site of recent shoot-outs between police and drugs gangs.

:23:13.:23:22.

Drugs gangs and police shooting it out in broad

:23:23.:23:26.

daylight earlier this year. Children and shoppers ran for cover.

:23:27.:23:28.

This is Rocinha, Rio's biggest favela, or shantytown.

:23:29.:23:34.

Within sight of England's World Cup hotel, Rocinha is home to 100,000

:23:35.:23:36.

people and despite the recent upsurge in drugs violence,

:23:37.:23:42.

the local police chief says it's one of Rio's safest favelas.

:23:43.:23:47.

TRANSLATION: The proximity of the hotel to

:23:48.:23:52.

Rocinha will not be a problem. This is a marvellous place and

:23:53.:23:56.

the players will like it very much. The problems we have in Rocinha

:23:57.:24:00.

are reserved within the community. They never spread outside.

:24:01.:24:04.

Last year, the England team stayed in the heart

:24:05.:24:09.

of Rio, right on Copacabana Beach. There will be a very different

:24:10.:24:11.

atmosphere at their World Cup base to the south of the city.

:24:12.:24:17.

The hotel here is modest. Multi-million pound footballers

:24:18.:24:19.

might expect more luxurious surroundings

:24:20.:24:25.

if they're to be here for a month. On the face of it,

:24:26.:24:27.

this seems a pretty sensible location but this happens to be one

:24:28.:24:31.

of the dirtiest beaches in Rio. Traffic chaos means it takes ages to

:24:32.:24:35.

get from here to the city centre and England's training camp beyond.

:24:36.:24:40.

At least Roy Hodgson's squad will have few complaints

:24:41.:24:44.

about those training facilities. A secure army base under

:24:45.:24:48.

Sugarloaf Mountain, a private beach and a newly laid pitch, well away

:24:49.:24:53.

from the prying eyes of the press. Increasing rates of low-level crime

:24:54.:24:56.

here won't concern players as much as fans but there's a big

:24:57.:25:02.

police presence in tourist areas. When you're out and about,

:25:03.:25:05.

take care of your belongings. A Foreign Office video

:25:06.:25:08.

also emphasises the need to be vigilant at all times.

:25:09.:25:12.

In this stunning city, the biggest challenge for England players will

:25:13.:25:21.

be avoiding boredom between matches. There are other ways for Messrs

:25:22.:25:24.

Rooney and Gerrard to return to their hotel after training but team

:25:25.:25:26.

management might not approve! Wyre Davies, BBC News,

:25:27.:25:31.

Rio de Janeiro. Well, that's the hotel, so what's

:25:32.:25:34.

the mood in the England camp? Natalie Pirks is at Wembley

:25:35.:25:35.

for tonight's game against Peru. Well, in truth, it's karma and seems

:25:36.:25:45.

a lot happier than it was four years ago. In stark grant us to that hotel

:25:46.:25:52.

we just saw, their one in 2010 was described as a golden cage. They got

:25:53.:25:56.

very bored very quickly and we all know what happened at that World

:25:57.:26:00.

Cup. There is no talk of golden generation is this time, just

:26:01.:26:04.

younger generation. The FA are hoping a more laid-back approach

:26:05.:26:08.

will perhaps help them do better. Relaxed is a banned word by Roy

:26:09.:26:13.

Hodgson, who prefers focused. The focus tonight is on a game that has

:26:14.:26:16.

been hand-picked to give them a flavour of South American

:26:17.:26:20.

opposition. In truth, per rule are not up to the standard of you grow

:26:21.:26:24.

so they will be hoping this will be a victorious sendoff in front of a

:26:25.:26:29.

sell-out crowd. Roy Hodgson has hinted of a sell-out crowd so we

:26:30.:26:32.

might get an insight into what he's thinking ahead of the Italy game,

:26:33.:26:36.

just two weeks tomorrow. Time for the weather. The stats are

:26:37.:26:51.

virtually in for May. It looks like being the third warmest on record

:26:52.:26:55.

but particularly dull in Northern Ireland, the dullest May on record.

:26:56.:27:00.

It is pretty dull across parts of Northern Ireland today and it was

:27:01.:27:03.

across other parts of the UK, as well. The best of the sunshine

:27:04.:27:07.

across the coastal fringe and in Scotland, where it has been a

:27:08.:27:12.

glorious day for the most part after a very chilly start with a touch of

:27:13.:27:15.

frost. Under clear skies across Scotland tonight, we could see

:27:16.:27:17.

temperatures close to freezing. Quite cool as well. For most of us

:27:18.:27:23.

with a lot of cloud, temperatures will hold up and any showers across

:27:24.:27:28.

the far south-west should fade away. Tomorrow starts on a dry note

:27:29.:27:34.

virtually nationwide and we should stay that way. Some sunshine early

:27:35.:27:38.

on across East Anglia and the south-east and Scotland should fare

:27:39.:27:41.

pretty well. Some coastal areas of England and Wales should see

:27:42.:27:45.

sunshine. Some showers across parts of the south-west of England Wales,

:27:46.:27:52.

and temperatures about a degree or so higher than today. On into

:27:53.:27:59.

Sunday, it looks as if the threat of rain across the far north-west won't

:28:00.:28:03.

be there until late on in the day. For Northern Ireland and Scotland,

:28:04.:28:07.

reasonable weather. For England and Wales, some sunshine to look forward

:28:08.:28:11.

to and temperatures edging up into the low 20s in a good few places.

:28:12.:28:16.

Enjoyed it because this is a snapshot for next week with low

:28:17.:28:20.

pressure on top of us so plenty of rain around as we look into the

:28:21.:28:24.

early days of June. Very unsettled with some wet weather at times. It

:28:25.:28:32.

will feel cool. A reminder of our main story tonight: There has been a

:28:33.:28:37.

big rise in the butt of migrants getting to Europe illegally. More

:28:38.:28:43.

than 40,000 have made the journey so far this year. -- the number

:28:44.:28:44.
