and a 13—year—old boy from somerset is the first in the world to try a revolutionary new treatment for epilepsy. and coming up on bbc news: after scotland crash out of the euros, attention turns to england. they've had luke shaw back in training today ahead of their game against slovenia tomorrow. good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. princess anne is in hospital with minor injuries and concussion after an incident at home. the bbc understands she suffered concussion while walking on the gatcombe park estate. she is expected to make a full recovery. let's speak now to our royal correspondent daniela relph. daniela, what do we know so far?

yes, sadly, this is a statement that has come in from buckingham palace within the past hour on this incident, as they put it, yesterday evening at the home of princess anne, the princess royal. it reads: the princess royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the gatcombe park estate yesterday evening. her royal highness remains in southmead hospital in bristol as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery. the king, of course, her elder brother, has been kept closely informed and joins the whole royal family and sending his fondest love and well wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery. we understand the princess was walking on the perimeter of her gatcombe park estate yesterday evening when she came into some kind of contact with some horses on the estate. it is understood that that

contact, perhaps from a horses head or legs, caused minor head injuries and concussion. she had her husband with her, commander tim laurence, and she was taken to southmead hospital in bristol, where she is currently under observation and being treated. i think the likelihood is that she will remain in hospitalfor the coming days. thank you. later in the programme, we'll get the latest from our correspondent at southmead hospital in bristol. the conservatives and labour have been accused of largely ignoring the uk's future economic challenges, by the institute for fiscal studies. the independent thinktank has analysed their election manifestos and warns that the next government will either have to raise taxes or cut public services. our chief economics correspondent dharshini david is here. darshini, this seemed to be a critical analysis, not enough transparency in those big promises? not so much transparency or a lack thereof, but our lack of realism seems to be the scathing upshot of what the iss has to say about all of this. remember, we've been through hundreds of pages of manifestos over the last couple of weeks, but this

really looks like it is talking about a different country because this analysis focuses on what we are not being told. the iss says the two main parties in england are ducking the tough challenges facing the country put up in recent years, after the pandemic, because of high interest rates and other factors as well, it says to meet the fiscal rules, we will have to either see taxes rising by more than we are currently told awesome cuts to services, things like higher education and the courts may be in the firing line. that conspiracy of silence they are being accused of, the two major parties, because the giveaways are smaller than in the past. the director of the iss, paul johnson, says that even though the two main parties are ruling out rises to some tax rates, there may be other things that have to give. we are either going to see some big tax increases or some spending cuts, given where we are with the public finances at the moment, and

honestly, we don't know which way either party would go post—election. neither of them want to say we are going to cut this, neither of them want to say we are going to increase taxes here, but if they are going to keep to their own self—imposed fiscal discipline, they are likely to have to do one or the other. the other also coming in for some criticism, with reform and the greens being told their plans may be wholly unattainable. all the parties are wishing for growth to pick up because that is where you can get extra money in. the ifs says that is not a get out ofjail card, however, and we may not be able to spend as spend as much as anyone would wish. thank you. the prime minister has said he is "not aware of any other candidate" being looked at over alleged bets placed on the timing of a general election. at least four conservatives are being looked into by the gambling commission, including two standing in the general election. they deny the allegations. the former minister tobias ellwood has told the bbc rishi sunak should suspend the candidates involved. our political correspondent

harry farley reports. ten days from polling day and rishi sunak, speaking today in scotland, has a major headache over its surprise date and allegations that bets were placed by those in the know. conservative candidates laura saunders and craig williams are being looked into, as well as two other tory officials and the police officer. ms saunders said she would co—operate with the gambling commission. mrwilliams co—operate with the gambling commission. mr williams apologised and said he had made an error of judgment. this morning, rishi sunak has been speaking to reporters in edinburgh, and asked if he could rule out whether others close to him had placed bets on the election timing, he said he is not aware of any other candidates the gambling commission is investigating, though he did add that the commission does not reveal the names of those it is looking at. not reveal the names of those it is looking at— not reveal the names of those it is lookin: at. ., ., , looking at. important to remember that the gambling _ looking at. important to remember that the gambling commission - that the gambling commission investigations are independent, i don't have the details of those. they don't report to me. but i can tell you that we have in parallel

conducted our own internal inquiries and we will of course act on any relevant findings or information. today our former minister has said there is no doubt the existing revelations will cost the conservatives seats. this betting sa . a conservatives seats. this betting saua has conservatives seats. this betting saga has been — conservatives seats. this betting saga has been deeply _ conservatives seats. this betting saga has been deeply unhelpful, | saga has been deeply unhelpful, self—inflicted distraction. triggered by a few individuals. in what _ triggered by a few individuals. in what world they thought this was acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister _ acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister have _ acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister have suspended the prime minister have suspended the two conservative candidates? given the scale of this, as we see now, _ given the scale of this, as we see now. and — given the scale of this, as we see now, and the potential for this story— now, and the potential for this story to — now, and the potential for this story to continue to eclipse and overshadow the election, i would now agreo _ overshadow the election, i would now auree. , ., , overshadow the election, i would now auree. ., , ., agree. opposition parties cannot believe their _ agree. opposition parties cannot believe their luck _ agree. opposition parties cannot believe their luck that _ agree. opposition parties cannot believe their luck that this - agree. opposition parties cannot believe their luck that this is - believe their luck that this is dominating. believe their luck that this is dominating-— believe their luck that this is dominatina. . ,, .,~ , believe their luck that this is dominatina. , ,, dominating. rishi sunak needs to show leadership. _ dominating. rishi sunak needs to show leadership. if— dominating. rishi sunak needs to show leadership. if these - dominating. rishi sunak needs to show leadership. if these were i show leadership. if these were my candidates, they would be gone and their feet wouldn't have touched the floor. there was a bigger argument here about politics, because the first instinct of these tories about the general election is not what can we do for our country but lets see if we can make some money. more

--eole if we can make some money. more people than _ if we can make some money. more people than those _ if we can make some money. more people than those already - if we can make some money. more people than those already known about are being looked into over alleged bets on the election, so the possibility of more names emerging still hangs over this final full week of campaigning. harry farley, bbc news, westminster. our political editor chris mason is in westminsterfor us — and this story which you first broke last week continues to rumble on. it does. i think, when you look and —— listen and watch the last few minutes of a programme, you get a sense of the sound, fury, noise and anger of the general election campaign, not least all of these questions around alleged bets. then what we heard a few minutes earlier, the economic fundamentals, bound by the economic fundamentals, bound by the self—imposed rules that many of the self—imposed rules that many of the parties impose, that the next government, whatever its complexion will inherit. what we were talking about a couple of minutes ago will have far more longer lasting,

day—to—day impacts wherever you are watching in the uk than the sound and fury of the campaign, but of course the sound and fury of the campaign really matters because it shapes people's perceptions in this crucial window that is opening up now, the ten day window which is more perhaps important than any other ten days every five years roughly in british politics when people are commanded to, asked if they want to pass judgment on who should govern us from the next five years. —— for the next five years. from the conservative perspective, this drowns out everything they would much rather talk about. and let me tell you, they would much rather talk about anything else. the democratic unionist party have unveiled their manifesto in belfast this morning pledging to secure better financial support for northern ireland. the party says it's committing to remove barriers within the uk, and to continue promoting the union. gavin robinson also said people who stay home next week instead of voting �*risk helping to elect mps who will take northern ireland in the wrong direction'.

throughout the day today, we're taking a closer look at the key issues and political battlegrounds in northern ireland. sara girvin is in the titanic quarter, which is in the belfast east constituency. sara, how is campaigning shaping up? things are starting to ramp up here. the general election in northern ireland will look slightly different because you won't see those battles between labour and the conservatives. labour doesn't stand candidates here. while there is a northern ireland conservative party, they tend to take a tiny percentage of the votes. the battles will be between the local political parties. we heard from gavin robinson. this constituency in east belfast looks like an interesting battle between him, the incumbent mp, and trying to unseat him will be naomi long, the leader of the alliance party. in terms of issues being considered by voters here in northern ireland, the

cost of living is a massive one, as it is across the rest of the uk. the constitutional issue also, whether northern ireland remains as part of the uk or leads to form a united ireland, and how people feel about that, does affect how they vote. lots in the mix here in northern ireland and just ten days to wait to see how it all pans out. thank you. the main parties have now announced their campaign promises ahead of the general election. it's a lot of information to take in, but there's a guide on the bbc news website, which gives a summary of where parties stand on the issues most important to voters. the trial has begun of a man accused of plotting the kidnap, rape and murder of the tv presenter holly willoughby. gavin plumb allegedly conspired online with a man in the united states to create a �*detailed plan' to carry out the offences. mr plumb denies the charges. our correspondent helena wilkinson is outside the court in chelmsford. helena, this trial has just opened,

what's been said in court so far? the prosecutor, alison morgan casey, as you rightly say, has begun opening the prosecution case to the jury. gavin plumb is sat in the dock, listening to that as it goes on. thejury has been told dock, listening to that as it goes on. the jury has been told that mr plum had an obsession with the television presenter holly willoughby, and that he also, as you mentioned there, allegedly assembled a kit of tools to help him kidnap, rape and murder holly willoughby. thejury have also rape and murder holly willoughby. the jury have also been told that mr plumb is alleged to have plotted sexually motivated violence against ms willoughby. the prosecutor told jurors it was notjust the ramblings of a fantasist, the defendant had carefully planned what he would do, and he had real intention to kidnap the broadcasterfrom her home. jurors have heard that mr plumb was

arrested after having online conversations where he revealed this alleged plot to an undercover officer in america. mr plumb denies the charges against him and the opening will continue here at chelmsford crown court. helena, thank you. flights from the uk's third—busiest airport, manchester, have resumed after a power outage led to a series of cancellations. up to 90,000 passengers were affected yesterday morning, when security systems and baggage screening struggled to get back online. 0ur correspondent lauren moss is at the airport. lauren, how's it looking today? like you said, this affected more than 100 flights yesterday, and up to 90,000 passengers. today, things are running much smoother. i was inside terminal onejust are running much smoother. i was inside terminal one just before, and flights are coming and going, landing and leaving all the time. there are one or two cancellations and some of the flights leaving are

delayed, but on the whole, manchester airport says things are running as planned. some of the people i spoke to are a little anxious about their flight leaving, and the advice is to check before you set off, like you usually would. things should be running 0k. the priority is getting those passengers who didn't fly yesterday on those who didn't fly yesterday on those who are still out of place today to where they need to be reunited with their baggage. as for compensation, that isn't a straightforward answer, i'm afraid, because what happened yesterday is likely classed as an extraordinary circumstance. the power failure is on the airport's property, not a fault of the airline, so passengers are advised to check travel insurance policies and with their operator as well if they booked a package holiday. thank you. lauren moss at manchester airport. the time is 1:1lipm. top story: the princess royal is in hospital after sustaining a minor injury is in hospital after sustaining a minor injury on her gloucestershire estate. and as temperatures climb this week,

vulnerable people are being urged to take care as a health alert is issued in england. coming up on bbc news: with wimbledon just a week away, there's still no decision on whether two—time champion andy murray will be fit enough to play after an operation on his back over the weekend. it was a heartbreaking night for scotland in germany, as they were beaten by hungary in their final euro 2024 group stage game. an extra—time goal broke the deadlock, and the travelling supporters are now beginning theirjourney home. jane dougall reports. scotland are out. not again. for a while, they didn't leave as it sunk in. scotland were going home, and the tartan army with them. the players fell short, losing to, arguably, the easiest country in their group. it's been a great experience, like, for us anyway.

it's our first time in our lifetimes we've been able to go we tried our best. we were doing well for a long — we tried our best. we were doing well for a long time. _ we tried our best. we were doing well for a long time. they - we tried our best. we were doing well for a long time. they were l we tried our best. we were doing l well for a long time. they were the better team. well for a long time. they were the better team-— well for a long time. they were the better team. stevie clarke never put the bows out — better team. stevie clarke never put the bows out there _ better team. stevie clarke never put the bows out there enough. - better team. stevie clarke never put the bows out there enough. they - the bows out there enough. they never _ the bows out there enough. they never had — the bows out there enough. they never had it in their head they could — never had it in their head they could win _ never had it in their head they could win. he said in interviews, i believe _ could win. he said in interviews, i believe the — could win. he said in interviews, i believe the boys can win. today, the boys didnt— believe the boys can win. today, the boys didn't believe they could win. the fans have been scotland's strength. tens of thousands sang along with the squad and their leader. time to swallow the nerves. losing to hungary wasn't an option. they wanted to witness history. but they almost watched scotland concede an early goal — angus gunn getting a hand to it. then an incident in the second half led to a worrying delay while medical staff worked on hungary's barnabas varga. he was stretchered off to applause and is now stable. just moments later, there were cries for a scotland penalty...

and it'll come to armstrong! penalty, surely! ..when stuart armstrong was brought down. why not, said half the crowd? but their appeals went unheard. hungary broke again and scored with the last kick of the match. scotland's dreams ended and their tournament over. blood, sweat and tears for what could have been. but for the manager, anger at decisions not given. and scotland are out of the european championship! it was 100% a penalty. somebody has to explain to me why that's not a penalty, because otherwise i'm thinking there's something wrong. as the stands emptied, the fans left their hopes of ever getting to the knockout stages of a major tournament behind them. the squad just couldn't deliver when it mattered. and once again, scotland are going home early. jane dougall, bbc news, stuttgart. in a moment we'll speak to nesta mcgregor in cologne, but first to

chris mcclaughlin in stuttgart. and chris — it's another disappointing tournament for scotland fans? yes, certainly disappointing in terms of the football, you cannot argue with that. two defeats and a draw, scotland played well at times last night but like the other two games, they lacked the cutting—edge. yes, they could have had a penalty perhaps, but were not clinical enoughin perhaps, but were not clinical enough in front of goal. the players apologised to the fans after the game, but for the fans, this is neverjust been about the game, but for the fans, this is never just been about the football, they have parted and sung, they have danced and made friends with the locals and their heading home in their thousands with memories that will last a lifetime.— will last a lifetime. chris, thank ou. england are preparing for their next crucial game, against slovenia, tomorrow night. after being criticised for a lacklustre performance in their last match, captain harry kane says it's a time not to panic but to try and improve. 0ur correspondent nesta mcgregor is in cologne. nesta, how are preparations

going for tomorrow's match? england fans have started to arrive in cologne, they have come via plane, train, even by boat, but as you mentioned, their team's passage so far, not smooth sailing. a top group c but criticism of the performances and you have fans, media and pundits questioning the team selection and the tactics as well. some good news for england finally, this morning all 26 players trained, that includes luke shaw, who slipped to feature in the tournament, he arrived in germany with an injury. the mission tomorrow is simple, if england beat slovenia the top the group. england can qualify tonight if albania fail to beat spain. but should england finish second in the group it sets up finish second in the group it sets up a last 16 clash against germany. plenty to do in cologne before kick—off, it is a city famous for creating their cologne and england's men will know it has been 58 years

since they experienced the sweet scent of success. the former nurse lucy letby is giving evidence today at her retrial in manchester. the convicted killer is facing one charge of the attempted murder of an infant, which the jury in the original trial could not reach a verdict on. letby denies the charge. 0ur north of england correspondent judith moritz has been listening inside manchester crown court. judith, what has the jury heard? this has been lucy letby�*s morning on the witness box, giving evidence in her defence, the allegation she attempted to murder a baby that we can only name as baby k in february 2016. by dislodging that baby's breathing tube. she denies that, so this morning her own barrister asked history, he said, did you attempted to murder baby k? now, she said. did

you intend to do the baby any harm at all? 0nce you intend to do the baby any harm at all? once more, she said no. that was the gist of the questioning back—and—forth this morning, lucy letby says she didn't intend anything, she doesn't remember anything, she doesn't remember anything, she doesn't remember anything, she says she doesn't remember being in the room at the time it is alleged this will happen. 0n the other side, the prosecution have been cross—examining lucy letby and she was asked, you're saying you are not the kind of person who would kill babies, but you are just that sort of person, are you not? now, she said. you have killed seven babies in that unit, said. now, she said, i haven't. and you killed others. now, she said, i did not. she was convicted of those charges in a previous trial. lucy letby denies the charges she faces here and her defence evidence continues this afternoon.— at least 1,300 people have died during the hajj in saudi arabia because of extreme heat.

the kindgom's official news agency said that three—quarters of those who died did not have official permits to be there, and were walking under direct sunlight without shelter. this year's pilgrimage took place during a heatwave, with temperatures at times reaching more than 50 celsius. a large factory fire that began when several lithium batteries exploded has killed at least 16 people in south korea. footage showed more small blasts as firefighters tried to extinguish the flames. a part of the roof has collapsed. a hiker who spent 10 days stranded in the californian mountains has been rescued, and revealed that he survived by drinking a gallon of water every day. lukas mcclish went on what was supposed to be a three—hour hike on the 11thjune before losing his way. he was found with no major injuries and has been reunited with his family. taylor swift surprised fans at her london show last night by bringing her boyfriend, travis kelce, on stage as a dancer.

the kansas city chiefs player wore a top hat and tails, and carried the singer during the performance. sunday's show also boasted a star—studded audience, with sir paul mccartney seen dancing and accepting friendship bracelets from fans. it's a week since 19—year—old jay slater from lancashire went missing in tenerife. search teams are continuing to look for him, focusing their efforts on a national park in the north of the island. 0ur correspondent fiona trott is in tenerife. fiona, what's the latest on the search? we are here, about 15 minutes away from the site you just described, and jay's dad was here a few months ago, and he was visibly upset and he described what he is going through at the moment as a living hell. he says he does have faith in the police investigation. the reason why

he was here is that he was here yesterday putting up posters, reaching out to the local community by putting up missing posters in spanish my appealing for more information. away from here, as you say come up on the mountain, that has been the focus of the police. we have been there today, we haven't seen any such teams. what we have seen any such teams. what we have seen are more police cars. —— any search teams. the teams going out with sniffer dogs, we haven't seen that today. the police say they do not comment on ongoing investigations, they declined our requests for interviews and they haven't carried out any news conferences, so one week on, we do know how they are operating and how successful their inquiries have been so far. 19 people, most of them police officers, have been killed by gunmen in the southern russian republic of dagestan. a police post, two churches and two synagogues were targeted in a series of attacks during the orthodox festival of pentecost.

0ur russia editor steve rosenberg has this report from moscow. southern russia, under attack. in the russian republic of dagestan, gunmen opened fire in two cities. they targeted places of worship. this was the synagogue in derbent. security forces battled the insurgents long into the night. by morning, what was called an anti—terrorist operation was over, and the scale of destruction in derbent and makhachkala became clear. the head of dagestan went to see for himself. in this church, the attackers had killed a russian orthodox priest. and the synagogue, now a burnt—out shell. translation: today is - a day of tragedy for dagestan, and not only for dagestan

but for our entire country. of course, we understand who is behind these terrorist attacks. we understand what they were trying to achieve. the suspicion is, there is a link here to radical islam. in recent years, the islamic state group has claimed to have carried out a string of attacks in dagestan, and yet one russian mp has gone on state tv here to suggest that ukraine and nato orchestrated this latest attack. now, that's a narrative we have heard before. earlier this year, after the mass shooting at a concert hall near moscow, the kremlin had pointed the finger of blame at kyiv and the west, even though islamic state had claimed responsibility for the attack. the authorities keen to make sure that russians view ukraine and the west as public enemy number one. but after the last 2a hours in dagestan, and attacks that left

a string of police officers and civilians dead, one senior russian senator has said this. "if russia were to blame every terrorist attack "on scheming by ukraine and nato, the pink mist will bring "russia bigger problems." steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. a yellow heat health alert has been issued for most of england, as daytime temperatures reach an expected 30 degrees celsius. the uk health security agency says the alert will stay in place until thursday, as the weather conditions could pose a risk to those who are vulnerable, particularly the elderly. duncan kennedy reports. 0n the south coast, the only monday morning blues were in the skies. mid—morning, and temperatures were already in the mid 20s. it's amazing. we're off work and we can spend some time together in the sun. yeah, ijust hope it lasts. but the uk health security agency has issued the first yellow heat health alert of the summer. for one retired couple,

whatever the source of the heat, for their age group, caution is the key. have hats, have suncream and have loose clothing to cover yourself because you'll still burn even with sunscreen. so you've just got to be sensible with it. yellow heat health alerts are aimed at the young, too, including this family, with personal experience of what can happen. we've had had family members that have had real issues with skin cancer. so it's something that's prominent to us. so, yeah, we'd advise everyone just to take the utmost precaution. at this lido in south east london, they're also aware of the heat alert, but are determined to enjoy the sun. so, the sun's out and about. it's lovely to be in the pool swimming, having a bit of time off work, going back, energising you. the message from the authorities is that when heat meets health, it calls for a mixture of enjoyment but also respect. duncan kennedyjoins us now

from southsea. duncan, how is the weather looking there? as you can see, it is absolutely beautiful here. as it is much of the country. there is yellow heat health alert in place for much of england. you can expect temperatures to head up you can expect temperatures to head up towards 30 celsius, which will be pretty uncomfortable for a lot of people. it will not be the same everywhere, in places like scotland and northern ireland, they are temperatures will hit the mid 20s, so a little more comfortable for them. at the whole of this yellow heat health alert is going to be in place until 5 o'clock on thursday, so that means a lot of hot days ahead for many people and also, we are told, some sticky nights as well. we only had the summer solstice on friday of course, which many regard as the start of summer and already, those temperatures are kicking in. health authorities say by all means enjoy it, but do take care.

by all means en'oy it, but do take care. , .., by all means en'oy it, but do take care. , ., ~ i. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon: princess anne is recovering in hospital after sustaining minor injuries on the gatcombe park estate. and with wedding season under way, many brides and grooms are choosing weekday ceremonies to cut down costs, with some saving thousands in the process. we'll have a full forecast in the next half hour, but it's time now for a quick look at the weather. here's elizabeth rizzini. thank you. there is only one weather story today and that is the warmth and humidity. temperatures are well above the seasonal average across the board, but some of the highest of the temperatures today could be across eastern areas of scotland, and are ready by the time we get to tomorrow, scotland and northern ireland will be feeling fresher, then the cooler air will sink further south and east by the time we get to friday. more details later. a teenagerfrom somerset has become the first person in the world to trial a revolutionary new device

to treat epilepsy. 13—year—old 0ran, who was having multiple seizures every day, has had a neurostimulatorfitted in his skull which sends electrical signals deep into his brain. our medical editor fergus walsh has been following his progress — and was given access to see 0ran's operation. would you like to try using this? you can. i don't think it wipes off as well, does it? yeah. thank you. 0ran is 12 years old. he has autism and adhd. mama? yeah? but what is holding him back most is his epilepsy. he's not had a day without seizures since he was three. i had a fairly bright three—year—old that, within a few months of seizures commencing, deteriorated rapidly and lost a lot of skills. 0ran has multiple seizures day and night. all right, 0k.

all right, all right. some are so severe, he stops breathing. quinn, i need your help, please. epilepsy seizures are triggered by abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain. these can often be controlled by drugs, but 0ran's form of epilepsy, known as lennox—gastaut syndrome, is so severe, nothing has helped. every moment of his life is affected because of his epilepsy. is it robbing him of some of his childhood? it's robbed him of all of his childhood, so far. i want 0ran back. i want the child that — or at least glimmers of the child that i remember, i want some of that back. i want him to find some of himself again. through the haze of seizures, i'd like to get my boy back. it's october 2023.

0ran is being prepared for major surgery at great 0rmond street hospital in london. he's the first child in the world to trial this device — a neurostimulator which will sit in his skull. we're numberone, right? we'll start with 190. the device will send electrical impulses deep into 0ran's brain via two electrodes. the leads have to be inserted into the thalamus, a key relay station in the brain for sensory information. screw ready for the plate in due course. the placing of the leads requires millimetre—perfect precision. this study is hopefully going to allow us to identify really whether this is an efficacious treatment for epilepsy and also is looking at a new type of device which is particularly useful in children, because the implant is in the skull and not in the chest. and we hope that that will reduce the potential complications.

not easy. after inserting the electrodes, they are carefully connected to the neurostimulator. then the device is placed into a gap cut out of 0ran's skull and is finally screwed into position. in the coming months, three more patients will undergo the same surgery here at gosh as part of the first ever trial in the uk of this device to treat severe childhood epilepsy. final checks complete, 0ran's surgery has gone without a hitch. looks pretty spot—on to me. it looks very good, so we're super—happy and that's really great. we now know that we've left him with the leads exactly where we want them to be. so that gives the best chance of the device working and reducing the seizures. a month later, 0ran and his parents are back at great 0rmond street for his device to be switched on. we are going to the maximum.

slowly, the current is increased to the target level. yeah, it's fine. it's hoped that constant, deep—brain stimulation will block the abnormal electrical signals triggering his seizures. can you reach it? good man, well done. walk on. walk on, good man. and this is 0ran now. seven months on, it's immediately clear he's more active and independent. now aged 13, epilepsy no longer dominates his life. seizure—wise, we have seen a massive improvement — severity is less and, yeah, he's a happier boy. we haven't had to resuscitate him since you last saw us. and just overall, we're seeing a much better quality of life, i think. and he's happier. sheep. yeah, look. 0ran's daytime seizures

have reduced by 80%. but further improvements are possible, as doctors plan to tailor his device to make it even more responsive to his brain activity. so you're optimistic for the future? very optimistic for the future. i think the great 0rmond street team gave us hope back, which was something we didn't have. now the future looks brighter. 0ran's family know his treatment is not a cure, but they're optimistic he will continue to emerge from the shadow cast by his epilepsy. fergus walsh, bbc news, somerset. still to come on today's programme: we'll get the latest on princess anne's condition first though, it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are.

welcome along to sportsday. i'm adam wild. the tarten army become the departing army as scotland fans head home after their euros exit. with just a week to go, still no decision on whether injury will prevent andy muray�*s wimbledon swansong. england's cricketers will find out later who they will play next after sealing their spot in the t20 world cup semi finals. they have made friends all over germany, but scotland's european championship journey is now over. the tarten army today left to reflect on what might have been after their heatbreaking exit from euro 2024 with that dramatic injury—time defeat to hungary.

chris mcloughlin is still in stuttgart. chris, a cruel way for it all to end. yes, it really was. i think that is the good way of describing it. disappointing in terms of the football. you can't argue, two defeated a draw for scotland. yeah, they played well at times last night and the could have had a penalty, but they just didn't show anything up but they just didn't show anything up front, not clinical at all and any of the games here in germany. they will rue the fact that they didn't show the kind of performances that we saw earlier in the qualifying campaign. the players deflated after the game, they apologised to the fans for letting them down. as for the fans, it is notjust been about the

them down. as for the fans, it is not just been about the football for the tartan army. there has been at chant out here, no scotland, no party, and that is what it has been. they have parted, sang, drank with the locals, making huge france with the locals, making huge france with the german people. yes, it is disappointing that the party is over, but they head home with memories that will last a lifetime. the whole thing has felt like an anti—climax. the whole thing has felt like an anti-climax.— the whole thing has felt like an anti-climax. , ., , ., ~ anti-climax. pretty heartbreaking, to be honest- _ anti-climax. pretty heartbreaking, to be honest. devastated, - anti-climax. pretty heartbreaking, to be honest. devastated, to - anti-climax. pretty heartbreaking, to be honest. devastated, to be i to be honest. devastated, to be honest — to be honest. devastated, to be honest a — to be honest. devastated, to be honest a great— to be honest. devastated, to be honest. a great experience, - to be honest. devastated, to be honest. a great experience, but absolutely — honest. a great experience, but absolutely gutted. _ honest. a great experience, but absolutely gutted.

certainly those who are very angry after the defeat last night. questions will be asked about steve clark, of course, but remember he has got scotland to two euros in a row. there will be a decision for himself tim make. he has not made a secret of the fact he would like to go back to club management. i think he will take time to reflect, and scottish football will take time to reflect on another disappointing euros campaign. late drama too in the other game in group a as hosts germany needed an injury time equaliser to draw 1—1 against switzerland. the swiss thought they were going through to the last 16 as group winners after an early goal from dan ndoye, but niclas fullkrug's header means it is the germans who finish top of the group. switzerland finish second and also progress to the knockout stages.

so, as scotland hopes are extinguished, attention turned to england, who play theirfinal group game tomorrow night against slovenia in cologne. a win means they will finish top of group c and a potential meeting with germany along the way. gareth southgate and his side have come under criticism for their performance so far, with captain harry kane hitting back at pundits over the weekend. alex howell is live in the england camp for us. alex, how is the mood? the england team were back in training this morning and the mood is upbeat amongst the players after the criticism of their performances in those first two games, crucially for gareth southgate and england all 26 of the players was out on the pitch, which hasn't been the case for the last couple of sessions. luke shaw was back with the group. he has been inside for the last couple of training sessions, he hasn't played for his club side since february, so he may be

available for the match tomorrow night. kieran trippier has played at left back. luke shaw is the only natural left back that gareth southgate has in the squad. 0n the criticism they have had, harry kane spokein criticism they have had, harry kane spoke in the media meeting yesterday. he was quite strong. he was sent to formal england international such as gary lineker and alan shearer to remember what it is like when you wearing an england shirt and a major tournament. he said those players win anything either and they know that harry kane aren't as group of players are doing their best. the message in the camp has been that they are in control of the group, and they keep saying they are in control of their destiny. i think beat slovenia tomorrow night they will top the group and be into they will top the group and be into the round of 16.— away from the football and, with wimbledon starting a week

today, the two—time champion andy murray still hasn't made a decision about whether he will play or not. you will remember he pulled out of queens last week with a back injury and he had an operation on saturday. he had been due to play in the singles and also the doubles with his brother, jamie, in what's expected to be his final appearance at the all england club before retiring. 0ur tennis correspondent russell fuller is following this one. it is quite possible that either wimbledon or the olympics would signal the end of his stunning career. could he really play singles at wimbledon over five sets just 910 days after having had a back operation? it would seem a bit unlikely. cutie gets himself into reasonable enough shape to play doubles with his brother, jamie? that is the best of three sets and that competition starts a few days after the singles. can he switch from grass to clay to return to roland garros in paris to compete in

the olympic because clai traditionally is a service surface that has aggravated his back. everybody will have enormous sympathy for him because he would love to be able to go out on his own terms with one final appearance perhaps on centre court. his back problem saw him having to retire at queens last week. we'll find out later who england will face in the semifinals of cricket's t20 world cup. two huge matches on the way, with india, australia, bangladesh and afghanistan all vying to make it to the last four. jos buttler�*s side have come under some criticism during the tounament, but a thumping 10—wicket win over the united states in barbados, helped along by a hattrick from chrisjordan on the island where he was born, saw them go through as runners up in their super 8s group. they were absolutely fantastic. they way they went about the run chase, they knew what they needed to do. jos buttler said he wanted to win

big and win quickly, they did that and they have qualified for the semifinals. and they have qualified for the semifinals-— and they have qualified for the semifinals. ~ ., ., ,, ., semifinals. what do you think about jos ituttler's — semifinals. what do you think about jos buttler's performance? - semifinals. what do you think about jos buttler's performance? there i semifinals. what do you think about. jos buttler's performance? there has been a lot of— jos buttler's performance? there has been a lot of scrutiny _ jos buttler's performance? there has been a lot of scrutiny on _ jos buttler's performance? there has been a lot of scrutiny on him. - jos buttler's performance? there has been a lot of scrutiny on him. jos i been a lot of scrutiny on him. jos buttler went out and prove everybody wrong. england have picked at the right time. they always have done in competition. aha, right time. they always have done in competition-— competition. a hat-trick for chris jordan on the _ competition. a hat-trick for chris jordan on the ground _ competition. a hat-trick for chris jordan on the ground where i competition. a hat-trick for chris jordan on the ground where he . competition. a hat-trick for chris i jordan on the ground where he grew up. he jordan on the ground where he grew u . _ ., , jordan on the ground where he grew up. he was fantastic today. you can see how happy _ up. he was fantastic today. you can see how happy he _ up. he was fantastic today. you can see how happy he was _ up. he was fantastic today. you can see how happy he was after - up. he was fantastic today. you can see how happy he was after the i see how happy he was after the hat—trick. he had spoken before about how he would have friends and family in the crowd and he was unreal. family in the crowd and he was unreal. england go through behind south africa after they knocked out the co—hosts west indies in antigua. south africa's bowlers restricted west indies to 135—8, before they completed a succesful chase of a rain—revised 123 for victory. they reached that with five balls to spare. they have won all of their seven matches at the tournament so far, looking in excellent form.

tom pidcock will be riding his road bike at the tour de france in five days time after ineos grenadiers confirmed he'll be one of their eight riders, along with fellow briton geraint thomas. he's also just had a successful weekend at the mountain bike world cup. he won both the short track and the cross country events — ideal preparation for defending his 0lympic title in paris. the paralympics are just round the corner too and the wheelchair rugby squad has been named for paris. there are five paralympic debutants named alongside seven players who were part of the victorious 2021 squad at the tokyo games that beat the usa in the final, including gavin walker, the tokyo vice—captain, and captain this time aaron phipps. plenty more over on the bbc sport website, including details of amy yang's victory in the pga championship in seattle, as well as coverage of britains harriot dart at eastbourne — that's under way right now. that is all your sport.

princess anne is recovering in hospital after sustaining minor injuries and concussion following an incident at home. the bbc understands she suffered concussion while walking on the gatcombe park estate. let's go now to our news correspondent danjohnson, who is outside southmead hospital. dan, what more do we know about the princess royal's condition? we know she is a stable, she is being looked after here at southmead hospital, having been driven here by paramedics yesterday evening were called to her home in gloucestershire after this incident, which hasn't been clearly explained yet, it is not confirmed exactly what happened but we understand the princess royal was out walking on the estate, not riding, and she somehow sustained a head injury and concussion. her husband accompanied her to the hospital and we know that

she is expected to stay for a few days and has been forced to cancel her engagements and arrangements for the rest of the week. the official statement from buckingham palace says she sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident, she remains at southmead hospital as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery. the king has kept closely informed and joins the whole royal family in sending his fondest love and well wishes to the princess. more couples are now choosing to get married on a weekday rather than a weekend to cut costs, with some saving thousands of pounds. the bank of england spotted the trend, and bridebook, which says it helps plan weddings in the uk, found that last year, for the first time, less than half of weddings took place on a saturday. and the wedding website hitched.co.uk suggests that the number of weddings taking place on a tuesday has gone up by over 40% compared to two years ago. it is mainly because couples want to save some cash. the average wedding now costs over £20,000,

12.5% more than it did just two years ago. ben boulos reports. when planning their wedding, rachel and her husband asked themselves if they wanted to get married on a weekday rather than a weekend. without hesitation, they both declared, "i do". we decided to have a midweek wedding, largely because of cost. when we looked around at what sort of things we were interested in, what sort of things that we wanted. traffic was a lot quieter. it felt a lot more personal — everybody else were at work. so there were just millions of people milling around. rachel and her husband are part of a growing trend of couples opting for a midweek wedding. you can save up to 50%. that can be as much as £10,000 off the average cost of a wedding by going for a weekday wedding. the cons are that it is a little bit more difficult for your guests. if you have guests who are teachers, if they're tied to a monday to fridayjob, it can be a lot harder for people to take take the time off to come to your wedding. with a bigger choice of venues than ever before, the sky's the limit when it comes

to designing your perfect ceremony. take this repurposed upper deck of a 7117 jumbo jet at an aerodrome near manchester. and with demand for venues like this taking off, opting for a midweek wedding can open up many more potential dates. 50%, we've had to give us a discount. so again, for us, that really drives a difference in the business model and where we can actually still get a margin to make it worthwhile because otherwise people are not interested. it's the big reason why people are shifting from a saturday to a monday or tuesday, because of course it's cheaper. the shift towards weekday weddings and other events creates challenges as well as opportunities for the businesses involved. we know since the pandemic, there's been fewer staff around — fewer trained staff. so to go from a model where you're perhaps working two or three days a week and focusing on weekend work, to go to a seven—day operation, that presents, you know, logistical challenges for a business. but the positives are going to seven days a week, it allows the business to expand the operation,

to have a higher turnover. so it seems fewer couples see anyjust cause or impediment to a weekday wedding, leaving them with just the small task of deciding who to invite. ben boulos, bbc news. over the last few weeks we've been asking which general election issues matter most to you, as part of our your voice, your vote series. many of you have been getting in touch about the environment, and what the parties say about it. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt has been to meet one viewer to find out more about a solar farm project planned for her area. welcome to the front line of the uk's battle to go green. it lies amongst the ancient churches and cosy cottages of the cotswolds, where there are plans for a huge new solar plant. like all the main political parties, except reform, local resident kate 0'connor thinks more solar power is a great idea. on this beautiful country track, there are hedges

to the left and right. and you really can't see it at all unless there is a gap. the solar farm would cover 13 square kilometres with 2.5 million solar panels, and create enough electricity for more than a third of a million homes. kate is frustrated by the stand taken by virtually all the candidates locally. the challenge is, on the national level, the two big parties that have the best chance in my constituency say brilliant things about reaching net—zero at the national level. but when it comes to backing a huge project like this, that can actually get us there, they're not interested. they are fighting against it. you don't have to go far to find out why they take that position. i think it is ridiculous. because it's all green fields, not brownfield. and apart from that,

the size of it is unbelievably big. it would be a few miles long and a few miles wide if you were to put it all together. it would spoil several villages in the area. britain is alreadyl doing really well. i don't think we can sit - on our laurels and say we are | doing enough, but it is not that| we have to have this solar panel installation otherwise _ the temperature is going to rise by ten degrees. it is not that urgent. let's find other ways. my opinion is quite mixed, because we need the renewable energy if we don't face up to the facts. where we put them, that is the difficult one, isn't it? there is nothing exceptional about the cotswolds. solar plants, wind farms and the pylons that carry the power they generate to the grid, create similar opposition all over the uk. virtually all of the uk's politicians argue we need more renewables, so the challenge for them, and it is a big one, is how to get local people in places like this to agree

to host these projects. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt is here with me now. what are the main parties are saying about this? we what are the main parties are saying about this? ~ ., ., , ., about this? we have had loads of ruestions about this? we have had loads of questions on _ about this? we have had loads of questions on this. _ about this? we have had loads of questions on this. all _ about this? we have had loads of questions on this. all the - about this? we have had loads of questions on this. all the parties| questions on this. all the parties except reform plan to make big cuts in emissions is the need to find ways to put in lots more renewable power. labour is probably the most bullish on this. keir starmer said he was willing to make enemies to make sure that wind turbines and solar farms make sure that wind turbines and solarfarms made, cockbill. he says he's planning to reform the planning system to take tough decisions and he will do that if he wins the election right from the beginning of his prime ministership. the conservatives put more emphasis on the views of local people. they are saying that democratic consensus is essential and they emphasise how they have changed the rules to protect for example agricultural land fault of the lib dems are summer in the middle, they say they

have got to want to lift unnecessary restrictions imposed by the tories but at the same time they are saying they want to listen to local people. similar for the greens, they want to listen to local people. similarfor the greens, plaid cymru and the snp, they say, yes, we want lots of the stuff but local people want to be heard. the big outlay is reform, it says it wants to scrap net zero targets and also subsidies for renewable power so much less of an issue for reform. sham? for renewable power so much less of an issue for reform.— an issue for reform. amy from norfolk is _ an issue for reform. amy from norfolk is an _ an issue for reform. amy from norfolk is an interesting i an issue for reform. amy from i norfolk is an interesting question. why there doesn't seem to be much focus on climate issues during the election campaign. that focus on climate issues during the election campaign.— focus on climate issues during the election campaign. that is something i have been hearing _ election campaign. that is something i have been hearing a _ election campaign. that is something i have been hearing a lot _ election campaign. that is something i have been hearing a lot about. i- i have been hearing a lot about. i get e—mails every day about this and we have had loads of messages about this. in fact there was a huge rally on the weekend about tens of thousands of people in london turning out to protest and say, look, we need more done for nature and the environment in the uk. chris packham was there, emma thompson was there but we have had lots of messages. why isn't global warming the climate crisis and the loss of

biodiversity made more central to debate on every single topic, says emily from hampshire, who is 64. as a people seem frustrated because they say if the climate is reshaping our world and the thing the decisions we make now will have a big impact on the future, we should be talking more about it right now. justin, thank you for being with us. and as the general election gets closer, there's still time to suggest stories you'd like our bbc local news teams to look into. your voice, your vote puts your stories and questions at the heart of our coverage. you can submit your ideas on the bbc news website. now time for a full weather forecast. here's elizabeth. hello. thank you. it is certainly feeling very warm and really rather humid today. right across the uk. the warmth, the humidity and the above average temperatures are set to last longest over the next two

live from london, this is bbc news. princess anne is recovering in hospital after sustaining a head injury while out walking on her estate. a leading think tank, the ifs, accuses the main parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over how they'd fund their election pledges on the economy. rishi sunak says he's not aware of any other conservative candidates being looked at for election bets, but said his party would act if an internal investigation found
