the government and the doctors' union, the bma, are expected to announce this afternoon that junior doctors in england have reached a deal to end their pay dispute. it's thought the agreement is for an increase of 22.3% over two years. let's speak to our health correspondent nick triggle. nick, what could this deal mean? well, it would be a significant breakthrough. this dispute started last march and there have been 11 walkouts since then. what has happened is, the negotiators from the british medical association and the british medical association and the government appear to have reached a deal. they only started formal talks last week, but have quickly come to an agreement. but i must say, this agreement now has to be put to members, junior doctor members of the british medical association, they have to vote for it in order for this dispute to end.
1:02 pm
but from what we understand this deal is worth, as you say, jon, just over 20% over two years. already last year we understand they receive 9%, that is going to be topped up with an extra 4%, another 6% rise this year, plus an extra £1000, it could bring the dispute to an end. nick triggle, thank you very much indeed, more details on that later. as part of her announcement on the economy this afternoon, the chancellor, rachel reeves, is also expected to scrap some major infrastructure projects, blaming what she says is a £20 billion black hole in the public finances, left by the conservatives. she'll accuse the previous government of refusing to make difficult decisions, but the tories say her claims are a con. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. applause and cheering. rachel reeves has promised to make the government and some is add up. hello and welcome to the treasury.

1:05 pm
for tax rises. the chancellor will set out full details of her argument in parliament later. government insiders insist there is a lot that will be in the public domain for the first time. and it will all set the scene for a budget in the autumn where a spending squeeze and perhaps some tax rises could be on the table. it is worth remembering, when the chancellor stands up later, that this is just the start of labour's economic plan. she will announced the date for a budget in the autumn. there could be more spending squeeze is to come there, some cuts for some departments. if there were going to be tax changes, that is the point at which it would happen. it is also worth remembering that labour is making choices, it is choosing to accept a recommendation to pay public sector staff more than inflation. it has chosen not to put
1:06 pm
up inflation. it has chosen not to put up taxes like income tax and national insurance, as it promised during the election campaign. and all of that constrains its ability to spend extra cash on public services. butjon, this afternoon is about politics first and foremost, it is labour trying to say, we were given a tough hand, that we will make tough decisions. it is the conservatives are saying in response that it conservatives are saying in response thatitis conservatives are saying in response that it is a lot more complicated than that. we will get the details in a document when the chancellor stands up this afternoon, and at that point we will be able to figure out what is a surprise and what is not. nick eardley, thank you very much indeed. our business editor simonjack is at the treasury, where officials have been carrying out this audit of public finances. simon, it sounds like there is an awful lot of information coming out later? ., ., awful lot of information coming out later? . . , , awful lot of information coming out later? . , ., later? yeah, a pretty detailed document _ later? yeah, a pretty detailed document we _ later? yeah, a pretty detailed document we are _ later? yeah, a pretty detailed document we are expecting, l later? yeah, a pretty detailed . document we are expecting, jon, later? yeah, a pretty detailed - document we are expecting, jon, and document we are expecting, jon, and this is the result of a so—called bring out your dead survey in which
1:07 pm
sue gray, the senior civil servant from the cabinet office now working for the labour party has been instrumental in putting together, and it is going to be a list of projects which are either underfunded or not enough money has been put aside and therefore they are going to bring down the axe on some of the things that nick was talking about, the stonehenge bypass, possibly the a27. most controversial of all i think we'll be scaling back the new hospitals programme, because remember one of their manifesto promises was to modernise, upscale, upgrade our public services and we have seen those new pay deals, 5.5% for some in the public sector, even more for junior doctors to try and unlock that strike. the difficulty is how can you basically say you are putting money into baker packets while at the same time try to cut some of these capital projects which are meant to foster and grow to comic growth? they wanted to be known as builders not blockers. this afternoon they may be known as scrappers. team gb has won its first gold medal of the paris 0lympics, in the equestrian team eventing — retaining the title

the conflict is in nobody�*s interest. but there is a risk of precisely that. what we have had in the past few hours is a continuation of the cross border violence between israeli forces and hezbollah. we are hearing of two hezbollah fighters killed by a drone strike in lebanon and more rockets fired towards the golan heights with no new casualties reported. golan heights with no new casualties reorted. ., ~ golan heights with no new casualties reorted. ., ,, i. unpaid carers are calling for swift government action to overhaul the allowance they can claim, because some have been caught out and are now having to pay back thousands of pounds. the charity, carers uk, says the complicated system is causing anxiety and financial hardship. our social affairs editor alison holt reports. the life of a carer day in day out with little respite, is far from simple, but made even more complex for the thousands caught out by
1:20 pm
overpayments. just under a million receive carers' allowance at £81.90 a week, but for the 175,000 of those carers who also have a job, it's a cliff edge benefit. quite simply, if they earn more than £151 a week, after tax and expenses, even byjust a few pennies, they lose all of their allowance. a threshold which in recent years has led many carers to court, with some ordered to pay back thousands they have racked up in debt and some facing criminal records. karina provides round—the—clock care for her daughter amber, who has complex needs. karina unknowingly earned just above the limit, because of the occasional hour of overtime at her part—time supermarketjob. she wasn't told for three and a half years when the dwp ordered her to pay back £11,000. itjust has to be a lot simpler,
1:21 pm
the forms have to be easier to fill in so that you don't make these mistakes. you have to be, they need to be stop the cliff edge to stop the cliff edge so that if you earn over 50p too much that they take that away, not take all of it. because they're pushing people into poverty. the vast majority of carers, they don't have a choice about caring, it affects their health and well being, they are in effect saving the state £162 billion a year, that is the saving to the nhs. and yet services like the dwp that are supposed to be there to help them be a safety net are not, they're leaving people in a _ lot of stress and that's really unacceptable. with a new government comes new promises. i have asked officials to provide urgent- information about what has happened land what went wrong, so we can put| it right and make sure this never happens again. - i know that carers are really pushed to breaking point. .
1:22 pm
we need to resolve this problem, | i have demanded action from the | i department and we will be comingl forward with more information soon. for the thousands of carers who waited years to be informed of their overpayments, that action can't come soon enough. megan owen, bbc news. the national federation of the blind of the uk is calling for so—called floating bus stops to be removed. the stops are separated from the pavement by a cycle lane — which the charity says is "chaotic, confusing and dangerous" for people who are visually impaired. thomas magill reports. you see, that kerb is not very high. sarah is visually impaired and relies on her guide dog nelly to get around. but since this so—called shared space was introduced outside leicester train station, separating the footpath from the bus stop by a cycle lane, nellie has become disorientated, leaving sarah feeling vulnerable and unable to use some
1:23 pm
of the city's public transport. you could get on and off a bus that pulled to the pavement, you'd have none of this conflict between cyclists and e—scooters and mobility and i'd just do it and just walk into town. but now ijust won't do it, because it's too dangerous and you're thinking, "what's going to happen to us? is somebody going to hit us?" it's just terrifying. and it's notjust those who are visually impaired who are at risk. these near misses between other pedestrians and cyclists were recently caught on camera by campaigners. in leicester, there is concern the design is confusing, badly planned and dangerous. one guy come down he must have been doing at least 25mph. if he had took somebody out, they would have been hospitalised. now, campaigners like sarah wants the new government to ban floating bus stops. whilst we were out filming with sarah, this happened. soi...
1:24 pm
you're telling me, this has to stop here like this. ijustjumped out my skin because of that e—scooter flying past me. a near miss from a passing e—scooter going the wrong way up a cycle lane. absolutely abhorrent and it has to stop. they're not working, they haven't worked since they were put in for blind and visually impaired people and it's time for a change. the department of transport says: sarah cycles to work every day in london and says herjourney is now much safer since segregated cycle lanes were introduced. i must go through maybe six, seven, eight floating bus stop on my way to work and i think they're a great innovation. they mean that you don't have to kind of mix with the traffic when you're on the same route as a bus. so for cycling uk, we want
1:25 pm
to see better compliance. sarah is hoping a petition recently handed into the government will bring an end to these shared spaces so her and nelly can get their independence back. thomas magill, bbc news. john anderson — best known for his role as a referee on the tv series gladiators — has died at the age of 92. gladiators ready! the scottish sports coach appeared in the game show�*s original run, which aired from 1992 to 2000. during his career, he also trained more than 100 olympic athletes. a statement from the tv show said john would "forever be remembered" for his iconic voice. scientists say they've found new evidence to support a theory that complex life on earth began one and a half billion years earlier than thought. this is an artist's impression of what the organisms may have looked like.

i'm jane dougall. a first gold for team gb in france and it's come in the equesian eventing. we will be live from versaille shortly. tears by the pool as tom daley and noah williams take silver in the synchronised diving. swim training is cancelled again for the triathletes as pollution levels in the river seine rise to unacceptable. welcome to the programme. they knew they had a good chance of gold, but the pressure was on team gb's equestrian eventing team to finish in top spot and get the nation's first gold at the paris olympics. however, just under an hour ago, they did it, finishing the third stage, thejumping, to make it back—to—back golds after tokyo. our sports correspondent laura scott is in versailles. laura, they went into today

top of the leaderboard, but there was still a lot of work to do. talk us through what happened. well, you are quite right, jane, they knew they had to do some near—perfect rounds in the showjumping phase. this is the third phase of what is essentially an equestrian triathlon. even the slightest touch on a showjumping pool can mean a knockdown and four penalties. they knew they didn't have much wiggle room, but some mistakes from france, some very good performances from great britain, meant that laura collett went into the arena knowing she could knock down three fences and they would still claim back—to—back gold medals. but so much was riding on that round. laura collett won team gold in tokyo and she desperately wanted to retain their crown. when

1:36 pm
we decided not to take any risks. the trends that we have are very positive for tomorrow. away from the olympics, a couple of football lines for you. manchester united hope to make a final decision on a new stadium by the end of the year. the club's co—owner sirjim ratcliffe wants to build a "wembley of the north" and has put together a taskforce to assess the feasibility of a 100,000—seater stadium at old trafford, which would cost around £2 billion. that's it for sportsday, but there's a lot more to come from paris, with hopes of british medals in gymnastics and swimming.
1:37 pm
well police sent out a statement around half aen hour ago saying a major incident has been declared in southport. they say emergency services are at the scene. they were called to a property on heart street around five minutes from the train station at 10 to 12 after reports of a stabbing. they say there are a number of reported casualties. we don't have any further figures on those, but the police say they will be confirming the details when they can. like you say, a man has been detained, armed police detained a male and seized a knife. he has been taken to a police station. and the police are urging people to avoid the area. that is heart street in southport and they say there is no wider risk to the public. but this is an ongoing incident and they are calling it a major incident and emergency services are at the scene as we speak. emergency services are at the scene as we speak-—
1:38 pm
there's a warning this lunchtime about the growing number of scammers — who are taking advantage of grieving families. the fraudsters hijack genuine online memorial posts and then convince bereaved relatives to hand over with credit—card details. nina warhurst can explain more. people who are grieving, who are feeling at their lowest, are being targeted by fraudsters online and swindled into handing over their cash. this is tony. when tony passed away injune his devastated family and friends wanted to pay tribute to him online. but shortly after wards, many of them were sent this — an invitation to facebook to watch a live stream of his funeral in return for a fee. but it was a scam. the live stream didn't exist. tony's picture had been stolen and scammers were attempting to trick his friends out of their credit card details. we have been to speak to tony's sister, natasha.
1:39 pm
just... ..it makes you feel angry that somebody is using my brother's funeral, death, whatever, as some way of trying to make money. it's so upsetting. unfortunately natasha's experience isn't unique. it is a relatively new scam, so there aren't any official overall figures, but some funeral directors say it's happening three orfour times a week. we are not saying that all live stream invitations or donations on pages are fake, but here is how you can protect yourself. firstly, always check with the family or funeral director to confirm whether the link is legitimate before handing over any of your personal details. and if a funeral is being live streamed there should never be a cost. that is usually covered in the funeral fee. and the link should come directly from the funeral director. facebook�*s advice is to report
1:40 pm
suspected scams, but we spoke to one funeral director who said it's not always that easy. this is the frustrating thing, facebook is such a faceless system. all we can do is report it like we are asked to do. but we get no contact back and we ask all the people have seen to it report it as well. but nothing is done. we never hear anything. there is no phone number or anyone to contact who say what can you do about it? well we put those points to facebook�*s owner and they said it is committed to removing fraudulent content and encourages users to report scams to them and the police. thank you. now the weather with chris. today we have a lot of sunshine across the country. for some it will be feeling increasingly hot. but is this a heat wave? in parts of england we need three consecutive
1:41 pm
days of temperatures of 27 or 28 celsius. and yes, there will be parts of midlands, east anglia and south—east england where those criteria are met. so today is likely to be the first day of a heat wave. the highest temperatures will be across england and wales. northern ireland and scotland it is dry for most with sunshine. but a fur showers knocking around. but for the most part temperatures into the 20s, could see 2a in moray forth. england and wales speaking at 29 celsius. tonight it stays warm for sleeping across the towns and cities in eastern england. but eventually the temperatures drop to around 13 to 15 celsius. tomorrow, we have more of the same in many respects, in that most of the uk will have another dry day with plenty of sunshine, if anything across england and wales could be even hotter. again
1:42 pm
temperatures widely reaching the mid to high 20s. in the warmest spots in the south—east it could reach 32 celsius. the significance of that is that the highest temperatures so far recorded this year is 31.9. so we are going to be there or thereabouts for the hottest day of the year. heading into wednesday, again it is a dry day. still a lot of sunshine and temperatures across the board above average. comfortable for scotland and northern ireland, but hot and humid scotland and northern ireland, but hotand humid in parts scotland and northern ireland, but hot and humid in parts of england. top temperatures 30 celsius. we follow the hot day on thursday with a change in our weather, in that we will see some heavy thundery rain. there could be some areas that see localised surface water flooding. we are firming up the details about where that will be happening. as we clear the thunder storms and look at the end of week it is all change
1:43 pm
with low pressure bringing rain to the north and west and temperatures back to closer to average. that's all from today's bbc news at one. enjoy the rest of the day. goodbye. we have some breaking news from southport in merseyside. we understand several people have been stabbed. we have some more details from a correspondent who is across what happens. it's going to be from the newsroom. sean, can you hear me? yes, i can. the newsroom. sean, can you hear me? yes, ican. it the newsroom. sean, can you hear me? yes, i can. it is looking to be quite a serious incident. we are digging into it as we speak. so many dozens of emergency vehicles there

liverpool echo she heard sirens and helicopters circling around and this is the quote from her, then messages started going around the local whatsapp group that a man was running around stabbing people. that is reported by the liverpool echo. this lady said we were terrified, panicking, sick with worry. i don't know how this can happen on a monday lunchtime. we have few details at the moment. can you give us a sense of the geography? do you know whereabouts this is? this is in the north—west of the country, not too far from north—west of the country, not too farfrom liverpool. the whole north—west of the country, not too far from liverpool. the whole of the street very much blocked off by these emergency vehicles. the one bit of warning that it spits out in situations like this, and we don't
