about tiktok and its chinese parent company bytedance, which have filed a lawsuit seeking to block a law that would force the sale of tiktok by its chinese owners. the app is used by millions of people around the world, including 170 million a mile americans. the lawsuit says the sale of tiktok by bytedance issa not possibly, commercially, logically or legally. so, the parent company, bytedance, have filed a lawsuit. we'll have more on that story as we get more details. we start with nottingham forest.. an independent commission had found

losses in the season breached the threshold of £61 million. season breached the threshold of 61 million pounds, and that decision has been upheld. it means forest remain 17th and three points clear of the relegation zone with two games of the season remaining. our sports correspondent katie gornall has been following the story. (tx sor) they were found to have over spent their limit by 44.5 million. because nottingham forest spent two years in the championship, their limit was reduced accordingly. they could have been handed a six point penalty at the time, but the premier league to give them a less severe punishment because they took into account the early plea and cooperation. still, forest were not happy and said the spending restrictions undermined the

integrity of the league. today, we found out the penalty stands. everton have also been subject to points deductions and will probably feel hard done by because these are so controversial and set to be replaced in the 25—26 season. we will know one of the champions league finalists later as paris saint germain meet borussia dortmund in the second leg of their semi—final. on wednesday, the other semi—final takes place with real madrid and bayern munich meeting again with the scores level. but before that, dormund take a narrow 1—0 advantage over the french champions to the parc des princes tonight. psg got the better of dortmund at home when they met in the group stages and european football expert, andy brassell says it's something both sides will learn from. psg look the part.

it was a bad day for binian girmay. after finishing third yesterday, the eritrean is out of the race after crashing twice in a few minutes. italy's jonathan milan was first over the line with thomas tucked inside the peloton. he's 46 seconds behind race leader tadej pogacar of slovenia. barry hearn, the president of matchroom sport and the former chairman of world snooker tour, has said sheffield city council will "move heaven and earth" to keep the world snooker championship in the city. the crucible, which only holds 980 spectators, has hosted snooker�*s biggest event every year since 1977 with kyren wilson becoming the latest champion. he beatjakjones in last night's final. however, the crucible's contract expires in 2027 and moving away from the iconic venue would be popular with some of the players, who have criticised conditions at the theatre. more details on the website and at but that's all for now.

thank you very much, jane. john swinney will become scotland's seventh first minister after being nominated by parliament. the snp leader is to succeed humza yousaf, who resigned from office earlier on tuesday. his appointment will be rubber—stamped by the king before he is officially sworn in at the court of session on wednesday. addressing politicians at holyrood, he called for unity and pledged to govern for everyone. when i pitched up at forrester high school in the city when i pitched up at forrester high school in theiscity when i pitched up at forrester high school in this city in 1979 of the age of 15 wearing my snp badge, my friends and teachers wondered why i had become involved in this fringe party. i could scarcely have imagined that myjourney would involve becoming the first minister of scotland. it is an extra ordinary privilege to hold this office it is an extraordinary privilege to hold this office and i thank parliament warmly for the honour that has been given to me.

for the people of scotland i would simply say this — i offer myself to be the first minister for everyone in scotland. i am here to serve you. i will give everything i have to build the best future for our country. let's speak to our scotland correspondent lorna gordon. it was somewhat of a surprise to be back as first minister this year. what are the key challenges facing him? he what are the key challenges facing him? ,., what are the key challenges facing him? ,. ., ., his bit. i think his main challenge will be trying to unite his party, trying to reach across the political divide because he's not a minority government. he's actuallyjust coming out for photographs on the steps of butte house with his wife elizabeth quigley. he announced it wasn't an easy decision for his family. elizabeth quigley suffers from ms, but he's waving with the cameras with her alongside him as we speak, offering that traditional

photo opportunity. of course, he has been a man at the heart of government here in scotland for much of the cost 17 years —— past. part of the cost 17 years —— past. part of the cost 17 years —— past. part of the snp for much longer than that. one of the other challenges he will have as a result is trying to present himself as a new face with fresh ideas for government when he is so associated with the decisions of the past and the leader of scottish past congratulated him for winning by 64 votes to 57. but they also took it as an opportunity to attack his record in government. he acknowledged that at times, he played a part in creating the intensely polarised environment we've seen at holyrood that i think it's fair to say has become more

fracture is in recent months and years. hejoked he was now a changed man and he wanted more cross—party collaboration and he wants to kind of dampen down the tone of the debate in scotland — not least because he has to, because he will need the support of those with the snp to get his policies passed. he said of the top of the list was eradicating child poverty. morna, thank ou eradicating child poverty. morna, thank you very — eradicating child poverty. morna, thank you very much. _ lorna, thank you very much. new research shows that that more than 800,000 children in england and wales have spent the last year living in an abusive home. that's more than the number of children who started primary school this year, according to foundations, a leading family research centre. it's launching a project to try to find the best way to support children and families experiencing domestic violence, as our social affairs editor alison holt reports. this is an important time for peter and amy. their two—year—old daughter rosie is thriving,

and they have another child due soon. hard work and finding the right family support has transformed their lives, because when amy was pregnant with rosie, the couple's relationship was abusive. peter describes his behaviour as controlling. we've protected their identities. bombarding my partner with texts and phone calls and, you know, asking questions like, "where are you? "who are you with? "what are you doing?" and if that wasn't kept up with, then i was... i would get quite angry. it was really difficult because i would always be waiting by the phone and i'd be worried about doing certain thingsjust in case i didn't answer the phone, in case it would upset him. it would have been a toxic environment for rosie. instead, they worked with for baby's sake, a charity taking part in new research into what works for families. councils fund part of their work.

over two years, separately and together, peter and amy were helped to change things. now i'm prepared. now i know what's expected of me. i know how to regulate my emotions and know how to be i know how to be the best dad and partner. here, they say the families they see are having healthier babies. are having healthier babies, and in the last six months, three quarters of those with a one—year—old have had no police call—outs. but a lot of domestic violence programmes can't provide that sort of data. the difficulty is knowing which ones work. this new research programme is looking at different projects around the country that look promising, including this one, to try to answer that question. the head of the research organisation says it will mean stretched public money can be spent where it has most impact. we're currently operating in the dark. we just don't know what works to support children affected by domestic abuse, which feels

completely unacceptable given the scale of children who are affected. and its estimated one child in five experiences some form of domestic abuse. andrew says for baby's sake helped him separate safely from his emotionally abusive partner. he now looks after their children. his advice is clear. seek help. don't sit there thinking this is your destiny. your destiny doesn't have to be that way. you can actually seek help, and there's someone out there which will listen. the researchers say their five year project will need the researchers say their five—year project will need some government funding, but they maintain better evidence will transform services and lives. alison holt, bbc news. let's speak to lauren seager smith, ceo of for baby's sake trust, one of the charities being evaluated for the project.

hundreds of pounds — even though the papers they claim to sell are almost certainly fake. the joint council for qualifications says students are at risk of being conned. 0ur reporter kristianjohnson has been speaking to students about the impact it has on them. there's no name, no face. it's just gcse papers and whatever year. and it's usuallyjust, like, a picture. and then there's a caption on it which says, like, "dm" — so direct message — "for full exam paper". and that's when they'll ask you to pay for it. you know, their language is very positive, but i think it's quite manipulative. we're on about an hour, aren't we? as exam season fast approaches, gcse and a—level students up and down the country are busy with last—minute revision. but on their phones, social media scammers lie in wait, trying to trick them out of hundreds of pounds. it makes me feel, like, sort of offended in a way, and kind of also a bit like, i don't know, like, prey. i mean, you look in the comments of these videos and it's quite sad because people actually believe them. pov: english got leaked.

these arejust some of the accounts in question — they claim to have access to leaked exam papers, when, in actual fact, they're fake. something that is coming up quite a lot and exam boards are really worried about are people who are claiming to leak the current exam papers for this year. this school in swindon isn't turning its back on the issue. teachers are telling students about the scams so they know what to look out for. there is no way the papers have been leaked. in all likelihood, the money that you send willjust disappear and you won't have any greater knowledge and understanding of what's on the paper than anyone who hasn't had a look. it's really reprehensible and really unacceptable. all the the fastest—moving, newest, most dynamic challenges schools face around keeping young people safe and keeping them content and happy are always to do with things online. a simple search on tiktok or instagram brings up dozens of these accounts. they promise access to leaked exam papers in practically every subject, and some are charging

hundreds of pounds. bbc analysis has found 41 accounts claiming to sell exam papers on tiktok. over on instagram, there were a further 25 scam accounts. it can take some time for these accounts to be closed, - and then what we're seeing is the same individual- is opening up other accounts. it would be helpful if we canl explore, what else can we do to address this issue as quickly as possible to protect - the interests of students? instagram says it doesn't allow the sale of exam papers, and removes accounts brought to its attention. a tiktok spokesperson says its guidelines are clear that no account should try to defraud or scam users. and a word of warning to students. 0fqual — england's exam regulator — says any exams being sold online are almost certainly hoaxes, but anyone found trying to buy a paper could end up losing their qualifications. kristian johnson, bbc news.

windermere, england's largest lake, turned bright green with blooming algae, with blooming algae, and now researchers think a high number of visitors could be to blame. a report which analysed satellite imagery and mobile phone data suggested a link. 0ur environment correspondent jonah fisher has more. before swimming in lake windermere, it's best to check the water. it looks really good, very clear. i'm with pete kelly. he runs wild swimming trips across the lake district. there isn't the second level there, which means there's no poo in the water. is it cold? absolutely freezing. checks complete and well insulated, we head out into one of england's most beautiful natural wonders. it's the most iconic lake in the country. it's the longest lake in england. you get that real big lake experience. but lake windermere is, according to campaigners, in big trouble. it's a bit cold, but it's beautifully clear out there in the water today.

but it's not always like that. a combination of high nutrient levels and warm temperatures mean that, particularly in the summer, lake windermere has been turning green. this was the same spot in the summer of 2022. it's called an algal bloom and can kill fish, and even become toxic. the right hand side here, we're beginning to see a build—up of chlorophyll happening. chlorophyll is what makes the water green. and research funded by the uk space agency looked at satellite images, alongside mobile phone data, which helps calculate how many people were visiting. we've seen within this that one of the factors that leads to blooming is having more people within the catchment area. so, there's other factors as well, but human movement and population is something that we can draw out within this study that we've done.

so, i'm taking you now to langdale final treated effluent pipe. - so is sewage the link between visitor numbers and algal blooms? campaigner matt staniek certainly thinks so. the connection is more people here, more pressure on local infrastructure... - and, lo and behold, . we say united utilities and that starts happening. he laughs so this is treated? this is treated sewage. we put our camera in the water. this is what legal, treated effluent looks like. 1.1 million litres can be discharged from this spot every day. the big difference that we want to make as a campaign, - it's notjust the untreated that's causing the issue. _ it's also the treated sewage that comes from united utilities. - and the only way to. protect windermere, protect local businesses, j protect the environment,

protect local businesses, protect the environmentl and the culture and the economy of the area is to stop _ putting it into the lake. united utilities said in a statement... there are solutions that will make our seas, rivers and lakes like windermere cleaner. but they're expensive, and the water companies are very clear that its customers who must pay for them through higher bills. jonah fisher, bbc news, in the lake district. the late 1940s saw the rise of tropical modernism — a style of architecture that took the simple, functional design of modernism and adapted it into cool, comfortable buildings for hot and humid climates. as the world considers how to build more sustainably, there's growing interest in this climate responsive design. 0ur reporter ijeoma ndukwe went to the tropical modernism exhibition at london's victoria and albert

museum to find out more. painted concrete, adjustable slats and breeze soleil — a few of the features that characterise tropical modernism. developed from the late 1940s by british architects jane drew and maxwell fry, it took the simple look and functional design of modernism, but it was adapted to control the environment, providing in—built cooling. christopher turner curated this exhibition about tropical modernism at london's victoria and albert museum. i think we have really important lessons to learn from tropical modernism about how to work with rather than against climate. when we build.

and a lot of contemporary architects are interested in this history, interested in histories of alternative modernism, but also in the way that these buildings use science to create buildings that were comfortable. although tropical modernism was pioneered by british architects jane drew and maxwell fry during british colonial rule, it was championed as a symbol of modernity by ghana's by ghana's first prime minister, kwame nkrumah, even after the country's independence. this film takes a look at how ghana's first president, kwame nkrumah, used tropical modernism as a symbol. nkrumah saw the potential of architecture to unite a country, but also to propel it into its kind of future and to kind of acclaim its arrival on a global political stage. the climate crisis highlights the relevance of tropical modernism, a style of architecture that responds to the environment. some say it could provide a foundation for how to address rising temperatures, which a new generation of african architects can build on. ijeoma ndukwe, bbc news, london.

thanks for your company over the last few hours. i'm on x at anita bbc. do stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. despite some cloud across northern areas, especially across scotland, much of the country had a pretty decent day today with a good deal decent day today with a good deal of sunshine around. it felt quite warm through the afternoon. that's how we're keeping things for the rest of this week. always a bit more cloud across this northwest corner with some rain at times, particularly the north and west of scotland. by far, the bulk of the dry, sunny weather will be across england and wales. there may be the odd isolated shower here and there, but most places will stay dry.

in fact, a pretty good looking week coming up all in all, thanks to high pressure which has been building in killing off the showers, pushing away the weather fronts. it's left a legacy of cloud, though, and that's what we're going to see again across parts of the north of the uk and also some sea fog, some mist and murk here and there across the north sea coast in towards the irish sea as well, but generally dry for most with a few clear spells. the scenes get a bit stronger across the country, so i think we'll see fewer showers for england and wales. but these weather fronts will bring thicker cloud, more of a breeze. outbreaks of rain to the northwest of the country, most places starting dry, a bit of mist and murk to start off with plenty of sunshine, england and wales, southern and eastern scotland, northern ireland. wednesday night, most places dry again with clear spells. dry again with clear

spells, variable cloud. stays quite cloudy, breezy with outbreaks of rain across the northern half of scotland through the night and temperatures again six to around ten degrees. so, for thursday, then i think we'll see more sunshine around across england and wales, a bit of a cloudy start. then the sunshine really gets going and i don't think there'll be any issues with the showers whatsoever. the showers whatsoever — should stay completely dry. a bit more cloud for northern scotland. the odd shower here, but southern scotland, northern ireland doing pretty well. temperatures 19 or 20 degrees here, 22 or 23, the warmest spots across england and wales. high pressure continues to bring fine weather on friday and into the weekend as well, but it starts to retreat towards the continent and allows low pressure to take over initially from the west as we head through the latter parts of sunday. so it could be quite warm friday and certainly into the weekend across the south of the country. by the end of sunday, we start to see a few showers, i think, pushing into western areas. take care.
