And coming up in sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, Crystal Palace have already uspet the leaders, chelsea, this month can they do the same to arsenal . Good evening. International pressure is growing on russia to abandon its support for syrias President Assad in the wake of last weeks chemical weapons attack on a rebel town. Tonight Foreign Ministers from the g7 group of industrialised nations have been meeting in Northern Italy to consider a coordinated response which could include support for new sanctions on moscow and damascus. The us secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, said america would hold to account those who committed crimes against innocents anywhere in the world. From lucca, our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Robbins reports. Contemplating italys past glory and syrias president horror present horror, borisjohnson syrias president horror present horror, Boris Johnson and syrias president horror present horror, borisjohnson and Rex Tillerson were entered on up the International Heat on President Assad and his russian backers. This morning Rex Tillerson deliberately started his day at a memorial to not the atrocity in 1944, the massacre of local villagers, and drew a direct parallel to the gas attack last week. We will rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world. When i didnt trumps foreign minister, who will speak to the russians this week, sat down with the Foreign Secretary who cancelled his visit to moscow to be here instead, they talked of ways to win the widest possible International Support against blood amid britains present path. Against Vladimir Putins path. We will be discussing the possibility of further sanctions on some of the Syrian Military figures and on some of the Russian Military figures who have been involved in coordinating the Syrian Military efforts and of course you are thereby contaminated by the appalling behaviour of the assad regime. The russians are mocking you for not going to moscow, Rex Tillerson apparently was happy for you to go, why did the Prime Minister asked you not to . You to go, why did the Prime Minister asked you not mm you to go, why did the Prime Minister asked you not to . It is very important in these circumstances for the world to present a united front and for there to be absolutely no ambiguity about the message and the message we are sending to the russians is very clear. Do they want to stick with a toxic regime, do they want to be eternally associated with a guy who gasses his own people . Or do they wa nt to gasses his own people . Or do they want to work with the americans and the rest of the g 7 and the like minded countries for a new future for syria . That President Assads major backers of iran and russia, have warned of the Military Retaliation if President Trump repeat the Cruise Missile strikes of last friday ordered the iranian president , seen as a moderate, seems to contradict his own hard liners today, saying change in the assad regime should go hand in hand with fighting his opponents. Translation Terrorism In Syria should be eradicated and some reforms should be implemented within syria are within the regime. This evening g7 ministers, all but one of them nato members as well, are starting to explore new pressures they could apply, knowing full well that russia has so far stuck firmly with President Assad and his regime. Lets speak to James Robbins whos at the talks in Northern Italy for us tonight. Support for new sanctions has been discussed what form could they take . They could take the form as the Foreign Secretary was telling me of targeting individual syrian and russian high ranking officers, who are put to be collaborating most closely on the campaign against civilians in syria. Of course the russians deny any knowledge or indeed the fact that the Syrian Regime was behind last weeks chemical gas attack. The americans believe differently. They have not accused the russians of direct complicity but have come post to it and they and the british think they can identify a targeted list of people who should be named and subject to all sort of Asset Freezes and travel bans and the advantage of thatis and travel bans and the advantage of that is that many other countries are that is that many other countries a re often that is that many other countries are often reluctant to go down the road a broad sanctions but might favour close the targeted ones. Theresa may has been speaking to President Trump on the telephone this evening and a Downing Street Spokesman said the Prime Minister and president agreed that a window of opportunity exists in which to persuade russia that its alliance with assad is no longer in its strategic interest. That is the hope and the message that Rex Tillerson will be taking from here to moscow as he leaves tomorrow. The problem is that in the past President Putin has always shown himself absolutely resista nt has always shown himself absolutely resistant and there is no sign yet he will buckle under this sort of pressure. Thank you. The funeral of pc keith palmer, who was killed in last months westminster attack, has been held at Londons Southwark cathedral. Thousands of Police Officers from all over the country lined the Route Of The Funeral Cortege Which set off from the palace of westminster. Pc palmer, who was married with a five year old daughter, was guarding the houses of parliament when he was stabbed by khalid masood. Heres our home editor mark easton. At the gates of the palace of westminster, Police ConstableKeith Palmers coffin paused, at the very spot where he was killed 19 days ago. The place where, unarmed, he moved towards a man brandishing two knives, where he put himself in harms way, to protect parliament to protect our democracy. Police officers from every force in the country lined the route. Thousands of men and women who did not know keith palmer, but know what it means to wear the badge. You never really know what youre going to face when you go out there. So it is with incredible bravery that he did that. I think it brings home what the job is about, the risks that you take. It shows what a family we are, really, that we all look out for one another and we all do the same thing at the end of the day. The Global Police family came together in london today, including officers from new yorks police department. We have had so much support from officers around the country, around the united states, as well as from other places in the world when we have had officers die in the line of duty, so we have feel a need to be supportive back. As the cortege headed across the river, Police Officers paid tribute in the air, on the water, and along the route. Two of pc palmers colleagues spoke of the friend they so admired. If you could paint a picture of a perfect policeman, you would be painting a picture of keith palmer. He sounds like a pretty extraordinary man. He was, he was so down to earth and so normal. He came to work because he had a family to support. He was a fantastic dad and a fantastic husband. And. He is going to be missed so much. As the coffin passed through the capital, london stopped what it was doing to remember all those who lost their lives on that appalling day, pc palmer and the four men and women killed on westminster bridge. Pc palmer symbolises the Public Service and sacrifice that underpins our society, the debt we owe to all those who put their lives on the line defending ourfreedoms. But he was also a husband, a father, a family man, and so today is about both National Reflection and private grief. Pc palmers wife asked that the familys privacy be respected inside southwark cathedral. But the sound of the service was relayed to the streets outside. Keith laid down his life for each one of us here. Each one of you who have lined the streets and filled the bridges of this city today. In her first Public Engagement in her new role, metropolitan Police CommissionerCressida Dick honoured a fallen colleague. An amazing life. He was clearly very kind, very good hearted, very hard working, a very, very talented police officer. Police constable Keith Palmers name has been added to the National Police roll of honour. The grief will lessen. His bravery will endure for generations to come. Mark easton, bbc news, southwark. The head of barclays is expected to be stripped of his Million Pound annual bonus for attempting to uncover the identity of a Whistle Blower whod raised concerns about a Senior Member of staff at the bank. Jes staley could lose up to £1. 3 million. Hes also been issued with a formal reprimand, and is subject to an investigation by the financial regulators. Heres our economics editor kamal ahmed. Whenjes staleyjoined barclays in 2015, he had a straightforward message make the bank simpler and more profitable. The board and shareholders were delighted when he appeared to achieve both in his first year. There was the third issue he wanted the tackle, one he outlined to me in his first broadcast interview. I do believe the banks lost their way, ten or 15 years ago, and we lost a lot of trust through the financial crisis. We have an obligation to return that. That obligation was undermined today after it was revealed the Chief Executive had tried, not once but twice, to find out the identity of a Whistle Blower. Injune last year, the board of barclays received an anonymous letter raising concerns about the recruitment of a senior employee by mr staley who had suffered personal problems in 2009 and 2010. Jes staley found out about the letter, felt it was a malicious attack, and asked ba rclays internal security to find the Whistle Blowers identity but was told his request was not appropriate. The next month, after barclays investigated the allegations and said they were without substance, mr staley tried again but failed to obtain the identity. Barclays even approached us Law Enforcement agencies to help. The Barclays Board only became aware of jes staleys attempted intervention when it received a second Whistle Blower letter earlier this year. It will now be for the regulators to decide is this a yellow card offence, a warning for a stupid mistake or is it a straight red for a Chief Executive whose very temperament is now under scrutiny . In a statement, mr staley admitted he had made mistakes. The regulators could go as far as banning mr staley from working in banking its ultimate sanction as well as imposing fines. Whistle blowing is about trust and part of that trust is protecting the identity of the Whistle Blower and if youve got a senior person looking for the messenger rather than listening to the message, then theres a problem. Mr staley has questions to answer. He was very close to the person he hired. Did that cloud his judgment . His pay will be cut by how much . The man hired to reset barclays position on trust knows his bank is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Kamal ahmed, bbc news. A brief look at some of the days other other news stories. A drug called prep, which dramatically reduces the chances of being infected by hiv, is to be offered as a Preventative Medicine to nhs patients in scotland. It costs £450 a month and isnt currently offered by the nhs england because of concerns about the cost, but medical trials are being conducted later this year. A londonderry teenager, who was shot dead by the army almost 45 years ago, was totally innocent and did not pose a threat to anyone, a coroner has said. 15 year old manus deery was with a group of friends when he was shot by a soldier in 1972. The soldier has since died. The fashion chain, jaeger, has gone into administration, threatening 700 jobs. The brand was founded in 1884 and once dressed Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe but has struggled on the increasingly competitive british high street. The business, which has 46 stores, had failed to find a buyer. Police in manchester say the number of people abusing a drug called spice has reached Epidemic Proportions and its putting pressure on Public Services. They say they had to deal with around 60 spice related incidents over the weekend and have now launched extra patrols in the city centre. Frankie mccamley reports. Slumped, zombie like and barely conscious. Were told hes just taken spice. Another man metres away with similar symptoms. And everyone we speak to on the streets knows where to get it. Around the central area, just round anywhere, really. Just anywhere. Some in this drop in centre for Homeless People say theyve felt the effects. Just like chill but, like, youre in space and then one minute youre taking it and the next you get hooked and lose control. And others say the problems not going away. Its a lot worse now than it was before, a lot worse. The reason why theyre on this spice is because it is cheap. It is only £5 bag, weed is £10 a bag, so theyre all going for the spice because its cheaper. The drug is a synthetic form of cannabis but can be much more potent and is highly addictive. After being made illegal last year it is now sold on the streets. Spice is a drug often associated with people sleeping rough. But police tell me it affects people of all ages all over the city and the problem is getting worse. The force says it received nearly 60 spice related calls over the weekend causing a drain on resources. There was a number of areas round here such as primark, the Fast Food Outlets like burger king, round here mcdonalds, and morrisons where there were groups that had congregated and participated in spice and the reactions were quite adverse. At the moment our attention is being focused on the safeguarding and dealing with the users. Where actually we want to be doing more work against the dealers, and thats where our focus will be over the coming weeks. I spoke to one paramedic who confirmed the symptoms wed witnessed. People becoming very spaced out, very odd behaviour, collapsing to the floor or being stuck in one position. What were seeing is someones behaviour getting to such a level that they are physically trying to attack our staff. Here in manchester, as another man collapsed, theres little sign that this problem is going away. Frankie mccamley, bbc news. The bbc has uncovered more allegations of abuse carried out by a leading barrister, who Ran Christian Summer Camps in the early 1980s. John smyth is accused of a series of brutal assaults on pupils from Winchester College. The bbc has now been told that smyth also recruited one of his victims and asked him to administer further beating to his friends. That pupil is now the head teacher of a prep school in buckinghamshire. This report from fiona lamdin contains some graphic content. I think i was probably beaten about 3,000 Times Byjohn Smyth but i can only remember one stroke. It was only when he actually hit me that i suddenly realised the full horror of it. 22 young men, brainwashed and then beaten, in what victims now describe as a religious cult. John smyth, a leading qc, infiltrated britains oldest public school, persuading teenage boys that his violent beatings could purge them of their sins. Im john smyth, and the director ofjasa, as we call the justice alliance. Andy morse was only 1a, a pupil at Winchester College in 1975 when the grooming started. Less than two years later he was accepting regular and violent beatings in smyths garden shed. Sojohn smyth had every single bandage, dressing, iodine, anything that had been invented, but even though he had all that equipment and i call it paraphernalia, we were bleeding everywhere. Even with these dressings on, wearing these adult na
