at the right time, so things can't just go back to normal straightaway. heathrow airport has said that there are still a huge amount of disruption. they are asking passengers not to come here to heathrow airport unless they know their flight is operating. that is being echoed by british airways. they are saying that any passengers who are supposed to be on short—haul flights this evening to please not come to the airport unless they know for sure that their flight is operating. there is lots more information for people on the bbc website, particularly stuff about consumer rights in terms of people who have had theirflights who have had their flights cancelled or delayed. plenty more information on this story for them there. but from heathrow, back to you. 0k, from heathrow, back to you. ok, laura, thanks for that. from heathrow, back to you. ok, laura, thanks forthat. laura trent reporting for us there. the home secretary suella braverman says all police forces must investigate every theft where there are reasonable leads. it follows the success of a pilot scheme in greater manchester where officers attending every domestic burglary in the last

two years have seen incidents fall by 21%. across england and wales in the year to march, 74% of theft cases were closed with no suspect having been indentified, while on domestic burglaries only 3.9% resulted in someone being charged. but the police federation says forces are already "stretched beyond human limits", and there are concerns resources might be taken away from other crimes such as rape and sexual assault. danny savage has more. with the rising popularity of doorbell cameras and dash cams, more crime is being recorded. couple that with googling for stuff that's been stolen from them, the expectation from victims is that surely it must be easier to catch those responsible. but that's not the reality. since 2015, forces have had to say how many of the offences they record result in someone being charged. back then it was i6%

but now it's just under 6%. this morning's phone—in on bbc 5 live had plenty of callers sharing their experiences. so for quite a lot of anti—social behaviour you turn round, you ring the police, and that's as far as you get. we should be getting more to that system where people will know that if they commit a crime, there will be a definite punishment. we can't allow people i to get away with crimes like this and just walk away. there's far too many accounts from victims. .. the home secretary was in manchester today to flag up a reboot of basic policing in england and wales. every reasonable line of inquiry must now be followed up. if you are someone who depends on their car or their van for work purposes, having that stolen can put you out of business. if you've worked hard and, you know, you've had your possessions burgled from your home, that can be incredibly violating.

and we need to engender a better and more robust response from the police. the police federation, who represent the majority of officers, says they all want to do their best. they say this is actually about resources and that many officers are stretched beyond human limits. but what's the reality of officers being asked to follow up all reasonable leads on all crimes? something will have to give, and that's the concern. we have a tsunami of male sexual violence towards women and girls as it is. if the police are being told, you've just got to put even more resources into tackling, say, carand phone crime, that means there's going to be less time and less focus on those really serious violent offences that quite rightly the public are concerned about. labour has branded the new guidance as a staggering admission of 13 years of tory failure on policing and crime. with an election on the horizon, expect to hear a lot more

about policing policy. danny savage, bbc news, manchester. a couple who died in their car on a flooded stretch of road in liverpool have been named by police. elaine and philip marco were trapped in their black mercedes in deep floodwaters on saturday. relatives say they're "devastated and heartbroken". merseyside police have begun an investigation. scotland's covid—i9 inquiry has opened in edinburgh. families of those who died and others who were separated from loved ones in care homes say it is a milestone moment. here's james shaw. coronavirus is the biggest challenge of our lifetimes. march 2020. nicola sturgeon announces that scotland, along with the rest of the uk, is going into lockdown. empty streets, temporary hospitals, care homes cut off from the outside world, the life of the nation grinding to a halt, and thousands of deaths.

opening scotland's covid inquiry, the chair lord brailsford said his aim was to find out what went wrong so it couldn't happen again. i will conduct a robust investigation without fear or favour that will arrive at the facts, identify any lessons that need be learned, and make recommendations to scottish ministers so we are better prepared in the event of any future pandemic. he said assessing the impact on people's lives would be central to the inquiry�*s work. this has been an emotional day for the bereaved families who have come to the inquiry. but it may be their best chance to get answers as to why their loved ones died. cathie lost her mum during the pandemic. i think what we are hoping for is that in future, - people will put people at the centre of the decision—making, _ and not just look at covid or other infections, - but actually look-

at the human impact. another group of bereaved families fear that the scottish inquiry might not be as well—organised as the uk one. in its later stages, lord brailsford will look at the impact on businesses and the economy. travel restrictions at times were very definitely too tough. we needed people to be able to travel within scotland outwith their local authority areas. a video released by the inquiry aims to show how all of scotland suffered because of covid. but it will also try to work out how the nation should prepare for the next pandemic. james shaw, bbc news, edinburgh. some of the passengers on board a p&o cruise ship that was damaged in a storm in mallorca have been told they have to fly home. britannia slipped its moorings and collided with an oil tanker yesterday. p&o says inspections revealed a lifeboat had been damaged,

and couldn't be repaired onboard. it means the ship has to return to southampton, with fewer passengers. prosecutors have opened a preliminary investigation into the conduct of the president of spain's national football federation, luis rubiales. it follows him kissing a player on the lips following spain's victory at the women's world cup. he's been suspended by football's world governing body, fifa, for three months, but insists the kiss was consensual. however the player, jenni hermoso, says it was not. our correspondent guy hedgecoe is in madrid. despite all the controversy, mr rubiales says he won't resign. that is right. he has been defiant and refused to resign. the latest development was the plot is good to's decision to investigate him to see if he can find enough evidence to pursue a case against him for sexual assault for that kiss that he gave jenni

sexual assault for that kiss that he gavejenni hermoso. that is a preliminary step, but it could be quite significant for luis rubiales who is now facing pressure on so many fronts. today a sports tribunal has been meeting to evaluate a request by the spanish government for it to open proceedings against luis rubiales in this case, and if those proceedings do go ahead, they could potentially end with him being removed from his post definitively. while that is going on, the mother of luis rubiales has locked herself in a church in the south of the country and gone on hunger strike because she says her son has done nothing wrong. she says the kiss was consensual, that her son would never attack a woman, and that she wants jenni hermoso, the woman at the centre of this whole case, to retract her statement accusing him

of a nonconsensual kiss. guy, thank you for that, live from madrid. from midnight tonight, london's ulta low emission zone, or ulez, will expand from an area covering the city centre to the whole of the capital. it'll become the world's largest ultra low zone, and means owners of the most polluting vehicles will have to pay £12.50 a day while driving in the area. around 90% of cars are compliant and won't be affected by the charge. here's helena wilkinson. getting rid of air pollution is a priority for cities across the uk. in many, air pollution far exceeds limits recommended by the world health organization. it's schemes like the expansion of the ultra low emission zone in london which aim to improve air quality. this green area shows the current zone in central london, and this is what it will look like from tomorrow.

this is ealing in west london, and i'm on the boundary of the current ultra low emission zone. anyone heading in that direction across the junction into central london has to pay £12.50 if their vehicle doesn't meet the required emissions standards. from midnight, that boundary will be significantly expanded to cover all 32 london boroughs. expanding the zone has proved divisive. we've been breaching legal limits for more than 12 years now for a toxic gas, nitrogen dioxide. and these pollutions have been shown to stunt children's lungs in the city, and also cause huge illnesses for people throughout their lives. i represent some of the smallest builders. these are, you know, they could be employing one person to a few. and the reality is these businesses are very dependent on money coming into their business and going out, and theyjust don't have huge reserves to be able to buy new fleets of vans.

back in west london, people are preparing for the change. people are dying, as well, from the pollution, - so that's a good thing, if they stop it. - but i don't think a loti of the people that live in this sort of area - are going to appreciate paying £12.50. well, i just feel like it's any way for the government to get money out of us these days, isn't it? you just have to sort of pay to breathe in london. generally, petrol cars first registered after 2005 and diesel cars after september 2015 are compliant. for those that aren't, the charge takes effect from midnight. helena wilkinson, bbc news. an ornately carved 36—feet—tall totem pole, one of the biggest displays at the national museum of scotland, is set to be returned to canada after nearly a century. indigenous researchers in british columbia say it was originally stolen and sold without the consent of local people. members of canada's nisga'a nation have taken part in a ceremony

in edinburgh to prepare for itsjourney home. here's katie hunter. singing. this is a historic moment. people from the nisga'a nation at the national museum of scotland to prepare their totem pole for the journey home. today was probably one of the most happy days in my life, because i'm really, really emotional right now, and ifeel my ancestral grandmother. the nisga'a people believe this memorial pole is alive with the spirit of their ancestors. they say it was stolen almost a hundred years ago from the mass valley, and sold to what is now national museums scotland. an agreement to return it was reached last december. the totem pole will need to be brought out of the museum

through a window in the middle of the night before being flown back to british columbia by the canadian military. i'm really pleased that the pole will be returning to its home where its spiritual, cultural and historical significance is most keenly felt, and i'm really pleased that we've been able to use our procedure to work with the family to be able to help make this happen. mr willie moore, if you will open our gathering. the nisga'a people say this is a significant moment of reconciliation. they hope the world is watching. katie hunter, bbc news, edinburgh. time for a look at the weather. here's louise. blustery with showers? stop it, i know! we save the best till last, and you are probably frowning now, but it was as good as it was going to get this bank holiday weekend. fewer showers around, quite a lot of cloud from time to time, but you have got to make the most of it, haven't you, as these two did,

looking out at the sea. it was fairly speckled, there was glimpses of sunshine, and this cloud to the far north—west is a weather front arriving to the far north—west tonight. it is introducing something cooler behind it, so a bit more of a breeze and some scattered showers first thing in the morning. if we draw a line from northern england and wales and the south—west, that is where the front is. let's take a look at tomorrow in a little more detail. sunny spells and a few scattered showers, some heavy with the odd rumble of thunder. top temperatures with the sunshine 21 degrees, but generally behind that front it is noticeably fresher. 17 or 18 degrees, we will close out the day in the north of sunshine but a real rush of showers it to scotland and a few into northern ireland and and a few into northern ireland and a cooler, fresher feel and a few into northern ireland and a cooler, fresherfeel here. by wednesday we are between two systems, one moving out into the north sea, another weighting in the wings, but on the whole, wednesday won't be too bad a day, they will be fewer showers around and more

glimpses of sunshine hopefully, but still those temperatures a little bit disappointing to close out the month of august, and still some of those showers driven down with a north—westerly wind across the cheshire gap. 15—20 the overall high by the middle of wednesday afternoon, rain for england and wales thursday into friday, but as we move into next weekend, the first weekend of september, high pressure is likely to build, and that means that we could actually see a slightly drier, quieter start to the new month with some sunshine coming through. there you go. luiz, thank you. that's it. i'll be back at ten, but you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. the news continues here on bbc one as we our colleagues for the news where you are. hello, welcome to sportsday on this bank holiday monday. i'm ben croucher,
