knows communities are rightly concerned about the footage. in a series of statements released since yesterday it says the use of such force during an arrest is unusual and we understand the immense feeling of worry and concern that people feel, and fully respect their right to demonstrate their views peacefully. they say they will continue to meet and discuss these feelings with greater manchester residents and elected representatives whilst this independent investigation takes place. independent investigation takes - lace. ., independent investigation takes lace. ., ., ., ., place. the video footage of a greater manchester - place. the video footage of a greater manchester police i place. the video footage of a - greater manchester police officer stamping on and kicking a man in manchester airport is truly shocking and disturbing. that man is one of my constituents in rochdale and i am meeting his family later today. our police face the very difficultjob every day of keeping us all safe but they themselves know that they have to expect the highest standards of conduct in their duties. the independent _ conduct in their duties. the independent office for police conduct says it is looking to all the circumstances in a thorough and robust investigation and will work
1:05 pm
to provide answers people want as quickly as it can. lauren moss, bbc news. our reporter yunus mulla is outside rochdale police station for us now, where there were those protests last night about the footage. yunus, what's the latest? when you've got greater manchester police referring to this incident as shocking and that people should be rightly disturbed, it is no surprise to find that's exactly what i am being told here in rochdale today. a lot of people have already made up their mind over what happened. in many people's view here when i speak to them, they say they feel that officer used far too much force for that incident. clearly there is an investigation under way to find out exactly what led to that incident. and that is something a lot of people here will be looking at. what we also need to consider, of course, is that gmp say those were firearms
1:06 pm
officers, and they have firearms that could have been taken away from them. we have heard andy burnham hint at a missing piece in the jigsaw. the body camera footage the officers were wearing, could that give us a different view of what happened? that is something the iopc, the independent office for police conduct, will have to look at. they have a lot of cctv footage and also have a lot of footage shot by members of the public that has been widely circulated. that investigation could take some time. yunus mulla, thank you. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster for us now. henry, a lot of political reaction to that video from manchester airport. that's right, such as the intensity of the public reaction to this footage that it is very much being thrust to the centre of the political debate today. you heard a little earlier from sir keir starmer the prime minister saying he had watched the footage himself. he also said his home secretary yvette

1:09 pm
of living correspondent colletta smith reports. the price, the source and the future of energy in the uk are hot topics. so now the government is putting a little more meat on the bones of their election pledge to create great british energy. although the labour party first announced the plans two years ago, there are still questions about how it will all work. it will be a publicly owned energy company, effectively a big investment pot, pushing money, expertise and sorting collaboration in lots of different types of energy projects, speeding up big on— and offshore wind projects and putting money into other areas like nuclear, developing newer technology and supporting small—scale community schemes. crucially, it's not an energy company that will supply power to houses. you will never be getting a bill from gb energy. the work this company are doing is happening much earlier in the process than that. so what's happening today?
1:10 pm
the government has pledged £8.3 billion of public funding for the company to make all of that happen. and it's officially introducing the bill in parliament to set up the company. the prime minister, sir keir starmer. applause. today's announcement focused on how this move will bring energy security. a publicly owned energy company making money for the taxpayer, creating the next generation of good jobs and taking putin's boot off our throat once and for all. and the prime minister said it will lower customers' bills in the future. but it will push bills down, and that's the sort of number one issue behind renewables, bills will go down, and not for a short time, but actually permanently. and for every family and every business across the country that is hugely important. today the crown estate are getting in on the act. they own vast swathes of coastline and sea bed around the uk, and say
1:11 pm
partnering with the government will halve the time it takes for offshore wind to deliver power. but a deal hasn't been agreed with the crown estate in scotland yet. and they need another £60 billion of private sector investment, which isn't guaranteed. so will it work? i think it will take up a lot of the government's time and effort and focus, when it could be better spent on creating more certainty for investors through subsidy schemes or unlocking grid connection queues. this is a long—term plan which needs a fair wind from investors, so customers shouldn't expect any reduction in energy bills for now. colletta smith, bbc news. we're nowjoined by our business editor, simonjack. he is in widnes and was at the launch of great british energy. we heard the prime minister promising eventually it will bring down people's bills. i guess what a lot of viewers will be interested in is whether that'll be the case. do you it will? ~ , , . .,

1:14 pm
a very short hearing. the main purpose of it was for the charges to be put to anthony esan. when he was asked to confirm his date of birth and addressed he asked the court, why. we also know now the army officer involved in this incident is called lieutenant colonel mark tio. the kent police say he is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. the alleged attack happened in gardens not farfrom here, in chatham, up towards gillingham, and it is close to a military barracks. anthony esan has been remanded in custody until the 22nd of august, when he will appear again at maidstone crown court. abs, again at maidstone crown court. a sheet and you. —— ashitha nagesh, thank you. us presidentjoe biden has told the american people it is "time to pass the torch to a new generation". he was speaking in a televised address from the oval office
1:15 pm
to explain why he�*s abandoned his attempt to get re—elected to the white house, paving the way for his vice president, kamala harris, to take on donald trump in november�*s election. will grant reports from washington. in a speech no sitting president has delivered in more than half a century, joe biden confirmed his decision to drop out of the race to the american people. it was time for new voices and, yes, he acknowledged, younger voices. so i have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. that is the best way to unite our nation. nothing could get in the way of saving democracy, said president biden, including personal ambition. he painted november�*s vote as a choice between forwards or back, hope or hate, unity or division. despite republicans calling for him to resign the presidency, mr biden said he had no intention of stepping aside. over the next six months, i will be focused on doing myjob as president. that means i will continue to lower
1:16 pm
costs for hard—working families, grow our economy, i will keep defending our personal freedoms and our civil rights, from the right to vote to the right to choose. many of those watching weren�*t alive the last time a us president did this. in 1968, lyndonjohnson moved aside only to see the republican challenger, richard nixon, ultimately win the presidency. mr biden will hope that history won�*t be repeating itself with donald trump. in north carolina, the republican candidate dropped the short—lived unifying tone of his campaign, turning on both the president and his new presumptive rival alike. we officially defeated the worst president in the history of our country, crooked joe biden. he quit because he was losing so badly in the polls, he was down in every single poll and down by a lot, so he quit. politics is all mr biden has ever known.
1:17 pm
a career which has spanned five decades from, as he put it, a kid with a stutter from scranton to the white house. this decision will define his legacy. november�*s vote will define whether that gamble has worked. will grant, bbc news, washington. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal is in washington for us now. the next few months, joe biden still the president, anxious to show he is not a lame duck president and about to have important talks with the israeli prime minister.— israeli prime minister. yes, and if ou think israeli prime minister. yes, and if you think about _ israeli prime minister. yes, and if you think about it, _ israeli prime minister. yes, and if you think about it, it's _ israeli prime minister. yes, and if you think about it, it's the - israeli prime minister. yes, and if. you think about it, it's the meeting you think about it, it�*s the meeting of the two damaged leaders. president biden who has had to stand aside from the presidential nominee from his party due to pressure and benjamin netanyahu who is deeply unpopular back home in israel, but mr biden is now free from the shackles of trying to seek re—election so will probably take a much tougher tone with mr netanyahu
1:18 pm
to end the war in gaza. it is something he wants to achieve in his finals xi, as he said last night, but the power dynamics here have been completely upended and the truth is the more important meeting with benjamin netanyahu might be with benjamin netanyahu might be with the vice president kamala harris who has launched her official video seeking the presidency. but let�*s not forget donald trump who has repeated today who wants to end the war in gaza and bring the hostages home, so pressure from mr netanyahu on him and he is due to meet donald trump later this week on friday. meet donald trump later this week on frida . . ~ meet donald trump later this week on frida . ., ~' , ., , meet donald trump later this week on frida . ., ~' ,, , . the authorities in the phillipines are trying to contain an oil spill from a capsized ship after a powerful typhoon hit the area. the tanker was carrying 1.5 million litres of fuel, which has been spread over 2.5 miles. if it�*s not contained, it could be the worst oil spill in the country�*s history. the treasury has said i and 2p coins
1:19 pm
are not being phased out. no new copper coins have been ordered from the royal mint this year, sparking rumours they were being scrapped. but a spokesperson has denied this and said there are no more being made this year because enough are already in circulation. the former cabinet minister robertjenrick is the latest tory mp to announce he�*s running to become leader of the conservative party. he�*s promising to win back reform uk voters. he comes the third conservative to enter the race, following the former home secretary james cleverly and former security minister tom tugendhat, who�*s said he�*s not afraid to leave european court of human rights if he wins the leadership. we need to be absolutely clear that the ones that we are members of deliverfor the british people, and where they don�*t, they can be reformed, maybe we can derogate, as i have been calling for on the echr since 2013. or indeed, if it needs to, we should leave them. because this is about delivering for the british people,
1:20 pm
this is about restoring trust and making sure that we deliver on the policies and the priorities of the british people and we are able to serve our great country. so we now have three who�*ve entered the race — robertjenrick, tom tugendhat, and james cleverly. but there are more who are thought likely to join the contest. the former home secretary, suella braverman, as well as shadow work and pensions secretary mel stride, shadow housing secretary kemi badenoch and dame priti patel, who was also a former home secretary, are all possible contenders. the time is1:20pm. our top story this afternoon... a police officer has been suspended after this footage which has been described as shocking and distressing emerged showing a suspect being kicked in the head and stamped on. and the day before the olympics kicks off in paris, andy murray pulls out of the singles, meaning the doubles there will be the last event of his career.
1:21 pm
coming up on bbc news, as paris gears up for a unique opening ceremony on the river seine, their deputy mayor tells us he is confident that it and the rest of the games will pass peacefully. bbc research has found it would take the national health service eight years to see all the adults waiting for an assessment for the condition adhd. nearly 200,000 people are awaiting a diagnosis, as our health correspondent catherine burns reports. it feels like adhd is being bad at all the things that people find simple. undiagnosed, you walk around with a lot of shame. self—medicating with drink and drugs |was how i was managing it, and i... | really, i can�*t function. i don't like people calling adhd a superpower. it's certainly not a superpower for me. people with adhd can
1:22 pm
struggle with focus, hyperactivity and impulse control. we asked trusts and health boards across the uk about their adult adhd services, and can now reveal the pressure they�*re under. there are at least 195,000 adults waiting for nhs adhd assessments. demand has quadrupled overfive years, and now the national backlog for those assessments is more than eight years. this is sheffield. the local trust says its waiting list has more than 6500 adults on it. this group all asked for help here. last year they did three assessments. makes me sad that there's that many people, evenjust in sheffield, just struggling without a diagnosis. if they continued working at this pace, it would take more than 2,000 years to see everyone who�*s already waiting. that�*s huge, shocking. shocking.
1:23 pm
of course, no—one is going to wait 2,000 years, but it shows the service here just isn�*t working. this is a life or death situation. i personally tried to take my own life twice before i got my diagnosis, because of the stress and trauma of having to navigate a world that i didn't understand. sheffield health and social care declined to give us an interview, but told us it has focused on treating people who�*ve already been diagnosed, instead of doing new assessments. it says it is working to meet demand. it gave us this statement... "we are sorry that we�*ve not been providing a good enough service to people seeking help for adhd." sheffield is an extreme example, but across the uk, our data shows a clear picture. a system that is no longer fit—for—purpose. health authorities in all four governments say they are trying to improve this service. we've seen a huge upswing in people
1:24 pm
seeking help with... nhs england has launched a task force to help manage the rising number of referrals. back in sheffield, louise is still on a waiting list. katie paid for a private diagnosis. nelly and rob found another option — right to choose is a legal right in england, which lets you get a private diagnosis paid for by the nhs. what difference has being assessed made to you? i'm not beating myself up going, "why am i doing this?" i can say, "well, this isjust who i am". catherine burns, bbc news. you can find more information about adhd and organisations offering support over on the bbc action line website. the bbc has discovered that a suspect in the racist murder of stephen lawrence admitted to police to being a paedophile, but no action was taken against him. matthew white had also been convicted of carrying a machete four years before the murder in 1993. our investigations correspondent

1:28 pm
doubles in the games in what will be the final event of his career. the three—time grand slam champion has confirmed he�*s retiring at the end of the paris games which start tomorrow. live now to our sports correspondent natalie pirks, who�*s in paris. so withdrawn from the singles, natalie? he said in an interview last night with the bbc that realistically his best chance of a medal was in the doubles with dan evans and remember he only had back surgery injune before pulling out of the singles and had that very emotional goodbye on centre court. in a statement released last night, sorry in the last years, he explained his decision to focus on the double saying the practice has been great, playing well together and really looking forward to getting started and representing team gb one more time.
1:29 pm
it's it�*s been some singles career, not least at the olympics. but now it is officially over. as he prepares for his final tournament, andy murray has announced he will now only play in the doubles in paris alongside dan evans stop speaking before this morning�*s announcement is at the doubles was always his main focus. realistically, to win a medal, the best chance will be in the doubles, playing with dan evans, and he is a very, very good singles player but his game translates really well to doubles and we�*ve been training really well together in the last few days. if i was able to do that at my last event, that would be extra special. i�*m not saying it is a certainty it will happen but we have a chance if we play really well. earlier this month, murray hoped to sign off at wimbledon by playing mixed doubles with emma raducanu. her decision to pull out prompted some criticism but andy murray says
1:30 pm

1:31 pm
fair to say. the first time it�*s not been inside a stadium and will take in six kilometres of the river seine and and and because of the ambitious ceremony there is a ring of steel around central paris and you can see all of the metal fences and we have to show accreditation or passports and even qr codes to get through to the filming amounts people like us who have accreditation so for people visiting central paris only because of that it is quiet. cafe owners have been complaining about business and now it has been slow for business, but not in the stadio, because the sport has already begun and let me tell you there�*s already been drama. we saw last night in argentina and morocco, that was suspended after a pitch invasion and we have had a drone spying scandal
1:32 pm
in the women�*s football resulting in two canadian officials being sent home and we have had five australian water polo players test positive for covid and they have gone in to solve isolation before even the olympic flame has been lit. let isolation before even the olympic flame has been lit.— isolation before even the olympic flame has been lit. let the games beuin. flame has been lit. let the games begin- yes. _ flame has been lit. let the games begin. yes, indeed, _ flame has been lit. let the games begin. yes, indeed, natalie. - flame has been lit. let the games i begin. yes, indeed, natalie. cannot wait. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon. a police officer has been suspended after this footage, which has been described as shocking and distressing, emerged showing a suspect being kicked in the head and stamped on. an in the head and stamped on. investigation is under what an investigation is under way into what happened. and charli xcx is among those making the shortlist for this year�*s mercury prize. we�*ll find out who else isjoining her. 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.
1:33 pm
thank you, ben, it doesn�*t look so summary here. the air is still muggy and humid and there is a lot of moisture in it and it�*s led to lots of low cloud and particularly these western facing coasts but we have some changes on their way and that will happen tonight and through the day tomorrow. behind all of the weather fronts we will see some fresh feeling air, drier, brighter conditions and the sunshine a lot more evenly shared out as we head through friday and beyond, and for some of us it will be turning warmer and i will have more details later. elizabeth, thank you. as the war in ukraine grinds on, its battlefields have been transformed by the use of drones, with some small enough to attack and kill individual soldiers — others able to reach larger targets such as armoured vehicles. our correspondent quentin sommerville and camera journalist darren conway have been to see the impact these weapons are having for those on the ground.
1:34 pm
russia�*s invasion has cast ukraine into darkness. a new deadly threat from above has thrown its people deep into war�*s bleak future. hidden in underground command centres in kharkiv, the national guard�*s drone teams battle day and night to keep the threat at bay. an fpv drone can take 1kg or 2kg bomb that hits it directly to the enemy shelter, enemy infantry and enemy armoured vehicle. they are cheap and devastatingly precise. here, aeneas�*s team hunts a russian soldier. there is no way to be alive, after fpv drone hitting. and another threat — glide bombs, fitted with guidance systems, allow russian aircraft to attack from beyond the battlefield, literally
1:35 pm
gliding onto their target. they are turning lyptsi to dust. with drone jamming equipment on their vehicle, aeneas takes us to lyptsi for a closer look. aeneas, we�*re going very fast. why is that? is it because it�*s safer? because of the drones. because of the drones? because of drones, yes. it�*s dangerous here? there is a lot of russian fpv drones. a lot of russian fpv drones? a lot of them. that�*s why we�*re using now ourjamming system. but it doesn�*t stop all drones. and once out in the open, they�*re exposed. ten metres between us. yeah. so we have to move fast. this is what drones and glide bombs have done to lyptsi. crossing open ground can be deadly. getting to shelter,
1:36 pm
moving deep underground, is the only protection against these weapons. what kind of mission is this today? is it surveillance, is it attack? no, it�*s attacking on probable positions of the russian army in the forest. command centre. yeah. drone after drone is sent forward to attack. we should go to the safe place. go, go, go, go, go. go, go, go, go, go! we watch in real time. they have a russian vehicle in their sights. every day, about 100 enemy die because of these drones, only in ourfront line. this is a battlefield, a war, being transformed by technology. automated voice: detection, one drone. multiple pilots. high signal strength. unseen, but identified above, a russian drone. it�*s time to head for cover.
1:37 pm
so that�*s outgoing fire. so, along these front lines, the ukrainians have gained about 500m of territory from the russians. it�*s not a lot, and it�*s been hard fought over. the company commander here says that when it comes to drone warfare, the ukrainians have the advantage. but as far as glide bombs are concerned, well, russia has a serious upper hand. but now we can hear the drone directly above us. everyone freezes. it�*s looking for any kind of movement before it strikes. eventually, we get the all clear. so that drone we heard has passed overhead, so we need to get out of here fast.
1:38 pm
drones were barely a factor in this war a year ago. now they are everywhere, always. automated voice: detection, multiple drones. _ multiple pilots. high signal strength. any journey overground is nerve—racking, a game of chance. but here, even closer to the front, russian glide bombs are a greater threat. ten kilograms bomb. russian calls it "boogeyman drone". the boogeyman is big enough to take out an armoured vehicle or a command post. it has to be launched fast, before the russians find their position. drones whir. they fly manually, while keeping watch for russian glide bombardments. and soon they come. this is a glider bomb.
1:39 pm
you can see it in the camera. it�*s on the battlefield now. they are hitting the trenches with soldiers. now we can hear the sound. explosion. i felt that. the window shook. what happens if russian glide bombs strike this area? hmm, i think we will die. ok, let�*s go. and now russia responds with drones too. fast, fast, fast, fast, fast! should move fast, because drone is coming back. on ukraine�*s battlefield, the rules of war are being rewritten. and here, they say all wars will soon be fought this way. go, go, go. quentin sommerville, bbc news, lyptsi, northeastern ukraine. still to come on today�*s programme, we speak to the olympic diverjoining team gb for the fourth time, who�*s hoping to bring home another medal. now it�*s time to join our colleagues with the news where you are.
1:40 pm
hello and welcome to sportsday. team gb choose two olympic legends, tom daley and helen glover, to carry the flag for the opening ceremony in paris tomorrow night. andy�*s murray�*s singles career is over after he pulls out of the event at the games to concentrate on the doubles. england are unchanged for the final test match against west indies as they look for a series whitewash. action is already under way at paris 2024 but the 30th olympic games will officially begin tomorrow night with a spectacular opening ceremony which will take place on the river seine. for team gb, the honour of flag
1:41 pm
bearer for the ceremony has fallen to tom daley and helen glover as part of what is hoped will be another medal—laden games, as natakie pirks reports. even when you�*ve been there, done it and got the t—shirt, every day is a school day. oh wait, that�*s the video! for tom daley and helen glover, at their fifth and fourth olympics, carrying the flag for team gb on friday will be a whole new experience, but this time, with their children watching, paris will be a family affair. it�*s a dream come true. ever since i first walked out into an olympic opening ceremony in 2008, walking behind mark foster with the british flag, i just thought one day, how cool would that be if i ever got the opportunity to do that? and yeah, it�*s very special and i know that it was something that my dad really, really, really... well, you know. i don�*t... ifi... if he was around right now, i don�*t think he would actually believe that this was happening. british athletes will want for nothing in paris. yeah, i could definitely have a nap in here. soundproof sleep pods,
1:42 pm
bespoke menus and family areas at team gb�*s performance lodge could help provide the edge in the quest for medals. team gb is bringing 327 athletes to paris, its smallest team since beijing. but they�*re hoping to win medals across a wider range of sports than ever before. for the second successive olympics, there are more female athletes than men, but they�*re chasing a medal haul of between 50 and 70 medals. a minimum is hoped for of 60, which they�*ve achieved at the last three olympics. i do think it�*s a very, very talented team that we�*ve brought here. i do think it is stacked with medal potential, and it�*s really whether we can support athletes to convert that medal potential into podium places. over the next fortnight, we�*ll see a mix of familiar faces and new names, like the most successful gymnast in british history, max whitlock, returning for his fourth and final olympics before retirement, and 17—year—old phoebe gill, who will become
1:43 pm
the youngest british track athlete at a games for more than four decades in the women�*s 800m. 19—year—old commonwealth champion diver andrea spendolini—sirieix is back in france, home of her famous father, fred, but she�*s not allowing herself to dream just yet. what i've learned is pressure really kills joy. a medal and a performance doesn't determine and doesn't make me who i am. i want to enjoy it and i want to take it all in. team gb finished fourth at the tokyo games with an impressive 64 medals, 22 of which were gold. not long now to see if records can be broken in the city of love. natalie pirks, bbc news, paris. two—time olympic tennis champion, andy murray, has withdrawn from the men�*s singles at the paris olympics, preferring to focus on playing doubles alongside dan evans.
1:44 pm
the duo will face japan�*s taro daniel and kei nishikori in the first round. murray will retire once his tournament ends and told our sports editor, dan roan, he is immensely proud of all he�*s achieved. i�*m really proud of all of the things i achieved. you know, we have loads of great sportsmen across all different disciplines, different sports and i am proud that i have been able to play a part in, you know, some great moments in british sport, whether that be in the olympics or wimbledon or whatever. yeah, i�*ve loved it, i�*ve felt unbelievably fortunate to be able to get to do this for such a long time. i never ever would have expected to yeah achieve the things that i did and i never dreamt of that. i�*m not going to say when i was ten that i dreamt of winning wimbledon, you know, i didn�*t, so very proud of everything that i have achieved and i�*m happy with that. elsewhere, nishikori will face another brit in the men�*s singles having been drawn againstjack draper.
1:45 pm
in the women�*s singles, katie boulter will face anna karolina schmiedlova of slovakia. boulter will then team up with heather watson to take on the german duo of angelique kerber, who, like murray, will retire post the olympics, and laura siegmund the largest peacetime deployment of security forces in french history has been tasked with keeping the games safe, with up to 75,000 police, soldiers and hired guards, to 75,000 police, soldiers and hired guards, including 250 from britain, on patrol in paris at any one time. the french capitaljoins london as just the second city to host the olympics on three separate occasions. the paris deputy mayor, pierre rabadan, says preparations for the games have been ongoing for more than eight years as the city prepares to welcome to world. we are definitely ready to welcome the olympics and the world of the olympics. athletes are already arriving for a big part of us in the village. the athletes and all
1:46 pm
the venues are totally ready and we are on the last preparation for the opening ceremony for sure, because we have today remain before it, but we work on that project since more than eight years now. so, uh, yeah, no worry. especially we just look at the weather, uh, to know what, uh, what we will have for for the opening ceremony. and i hope no rain. uh, but except that i�*m totally confident. uh, security is right for everywhere. uh, people and venue are exciting, uh, too. and we create a specific venue, as you know, in the standard city. so now we want it to start. former marathon world champion paula radcliffe has said she is "very sorry" after wishing a convicted rapist competing at the olympics the "best of luck". speaking on national radio, radcliffe made the comments about netherlands beach volleyball
1:47 pm
player steven van de velde, who was sentenced to four years in prison in 2016 after pleading guilty to raping a 12—year—old british girl when he was 19. van de velde resumed his career after serving 12 months of his four—year sentence and was selected injune for the dutch olympic team. in a series of posts on x, radcliffe said: �*i profoundly apologise and am deeply shocked and disappointed in myself and can�*t understand how i managed to convey it so badly. i think in my head by "dangerous line" i meant allowing him into the games when it is against all the olympic ideals but i didn�*t say this out loud." england have named an unchanged line up for the third and final test against the west indies which gets under way at edgbaston tomorrow morning. england took an unnassailable 2—0 lead after an impressive victory in the second test at lords off the back of hundreds from centuries from ollie pope, harry brook and joe root as well as a third five—wicket haul for spinner shoaib bashir.
1:48 pm
we are 2—0 up, very good all—round performances so pretty easy decision to spritz the max stick with the same 11 and we went to wrap up the series and hopefully take up 3—0. arsenal 15—0, it went to the dreaded penalties. —— arsenal 15—0 so it went to the dreaded penalties. we have a very different context today with so many young players, most of them making their debuts for us so really pleased to see them. just looking at their faces and the energy that they have before they came and understanding
1:49 pm
they were going to be both great. and the senior players, had a good game, it was a really competitive match as we spoke to gets bored with. there are a little bit ahead of us intact of the time they had to prepare but good competitive match with a lot of things take forward. arteta also confirmed that emile smith rowe had been left out of the friendly against bournemouth due to �*things happening in the background.�* the 23—year—old, who came through the arsenal academy, has been linked with a move to fulham. chelsea were also held in enzo maresca�*s first match in charge since joining the club from leicester as they drew 2—2 with league one side wrexham. both of their opposition�*s goals coming from defensive errors. post match — maresca insisted his side �*will concede whilst trying to play out from the back�* — but says he will �*absolutely�* continue with his style of play. you can keep up to date with everything happening at the paris olympics on the bbc sport website and app — today�*s action includes rugby 7�*s, the women�*s football gets underway as well as handball and archery.
1:50 pm
from all of us here, for now, goodbye. is experiencing far more very hot days and really wet days. this changing climate has a widespread impact on everything from our health service to our fragile ecosystems, as our climate editor justin rowlatt now explains. the single most dramatic weather event of 2023 was storm babet. it barrelled in in october bringing a deluge that soaked much of the country and is an example of the uptick in the rainiest of weather the met office has identified. these maps show how the frequency of really wet days has increased since the 1960s. look at this. in the last ten years we�*ve seen 20%
1:51 pm
more days with the heaviest rainfall in an average year. but it is the increase in really hot weather that stands out from the data. look at this map, it shows how in the 30 years from 1961 only london and hampshire recorded an average of six or more days with temperatures over 28 celsius in a year. the met office describes these as hot days. spin forward to the last ten years and virtually the whole of england and wales now gets that many hot days every year, while the south—east now experiences an average of over 12 days above 28 celsius every year. and there is much more evidence of this warming trend. the new report confirms 2023 was the second warmest year on record for the uk. it had the hottestjune ever recorded in the country, and the joint warmest september. the statistics, from
1:52 pm
the observations in this report, really speak for themselves. that our climate is notjust going to change in the future, it is already changing right now. it is the increasingly frequent weather extremes that have the biggest impact on all of us. our increasingly hot weather stretches our health care systems as vulnerable people fall ill. it damages our infrastructure and it disrupts our daily lives. this warming trend means we are seeing more pleasant days, that is what the met office calls days above 20 celsius and we are seeing lto what the met office calls days above 20 celsius and we are seeing do more of them compared to the 30 years two and 1961 and we are getting more sunshine, it�*s 9% sunnier in the uk thanit sunshine, it�*s 9% sunnier in the uk than it was over that period but it�*s the extremes that matter and have an impact on our daily lives
1:53 pm
and impact our infrastructure and services and they are getting more frequent and we are seeing more record—breaking temperatures, hot temperatures and almost no new record—breaking cold temperatures. one last thought, climate change is a global phenomena and we saw a new all—time global air temperature set on sunday only to be beaten on monday, so a new all—time all—time temperature record for the world set just on monday. yet more evidence of our changing world. thank you very much, justin. the shortlist for the mercury prize has been announced. the award recognises the best of uk and irish music, with 12 albums being selected. it�*s previously been won by the likes of pulp, skepta and elbow. our music correspondent mark savage has the details. it does contain some flashing images. earlier this week the essex

1:57 pm
of the showers will fade away and still muggy for a lot of the night across south—east england but we have high single figures developing, so a big change in the feel of the weather, and there will be some sunshine and we are also expecting some showers. so here we go with tomorrow, a brighter, drier looking day and most of the showers will be heavyin day and most of the showers will be heavy in nature across northern ireland and scotland and a few showers for northern england and across wales but for much of south—east england i think it should stay dry and the sunshine will help us live the temperature is somewhat as well. not quite so sunny on saturday and a bit more in the way of cloud on the front pushing its way east, and within pushing it through northern scotland but largely dry to the far south and east of england with temperatures reaching 22 or 23 degrees but we
1:58 pm
should all be dry by the time we get to sunday and that�*s because we have high pressure building from the azores, so a dry day for the majority of us and they could be one or two isolated showers and there will tend to be more cloud developing to the north and west and bubbling up here and there through the day but 19 up to 25 celsius and towards the south in particular it will turn warmer still into next week with a lot of dry weather on offer. that�*s all from today�*s bbc news at one. enjoy the rest of the day. goodbye.
