ri’ita, heartfelt moments. i love you, rita. alec... heartfelt moments. i love you, rita. alec. . . and heartfelt moments. i love you, rita. alec... and i want you to marry me. i know i have no right for you to feel the same especially after what was said tonight. after all, i'm just elderly man with any good years left in him long since gone. the actor roy barraclough, who's died at the age of 81. let's turn our attention to the weather now at tomasz schafernaker. the weather has turned across north—western parts of the uk, the great sky behind me is coming in from our weather watcher in the highlands in nairn. gloomy skies on and off through the day and there is rain around. the weather is not so bad across wales, some sunshine here, a bit hazy, though, the best of the weather clear blue skies in essex. today, the 1st ofjune, marks the first day of meteorological

winter, we start sooner. the weather front running in our direction, two things happening i mentioned yesterday, fresher weather in the north—west but warmer air wafting in from france and will continue to do so from france and will continue to do so through the whole day. that means that across most of england and wales it is a very pleasant and warm day. temperatures get up to 25 or 26, two hot for some. fine weather across yorkshire, 21 degrees, but look at northern ireland, south—west scotland, western scotland, and it is only in the teens, outbreaks of rain, bit of a breeze there as well. big contrasts across the country today. this weather front will move sluggishly through this evening. by the time we get to friday morning it is only just the time we get to friday morning it is onlyjust nibbling on western parts of wales and just about nudging into the lake district. the bulk of. this if: f 7 -_7——

-% and ‘air comes t t'tt't't t't'tt and ‘air comes in t't'tt't ttttt and ‘air comes in behind f ahead of it still the warm air but ahead of it still the warm air wafting in from france meaning temperatures could get up to about 26 or 27. you saw some flashes of lightning, so they could be storms around across the south—east and east anglia and they may rumble on into the evening as well. that corner here feeling more stormy and humid. the rest of us will be in the fresher at atlantic air force as we head into the weekend, here is saturday, the low pressure pretty much stays where it is in the north atlantic, but what it is doing is it is pushing weather fronts ever so further towards the east. that means by the time we get to saturday we are all in this oceanic air mass, fresh conditions, quite a few showers and maybe the odd crack of thunder across north—western parts of the country and a similar day on sunday, spot the difference. the best of the weather probably eastern and south—eastern areas during the weekend. let's summarise this. your plans for the weekend: fresher

breeze, some sunshine certainly, the weather will probably look like this picture behind me. back to you. thank you, tomasz schafernaker. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. present tramp comes under increasing international pressure as he prepares whether to pull the us out of the paris global climate change deal. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. have a good afternoon. let's start with cricket and the opening match in the champions trophy where favourites england are taking on bangladesh at the oval. it was expected to be a winning start for eoin morgan's side but they have been on the receiving end of some brilliant batting so far today — john watson is live for us at the oval. john — it's not gone to plan for england so far has it? not indeed. we came into this

tournament is one of the favourites, but it has been a difficult morning. just two wickets had fallen at the oval on the opening day. the first of those sakha who was caught in the deep byjonny bairstow, off the bowling of strokes. bairstow only on asa bowling of strokes. bairstow only on as a substitute build—up of chris woa kes limped off as a substitute build—up of chris woakes limped off with a side strain having bowled two overs. perhaps the writing was on the wall at that stage for england. the second wicket a moment of brilliance, a rare moments, a superb catch by mark wood made on down to his left, diving off the bowling of liam plunkett. going through 19. bangladesh 95—2 at that stage. since then it has been about one man, terminate a bowl, who has moved past his ninth odi ioo. one man, terminate a bowl, who has moved past his ninth odi 100. 16 and moved past his ninth odi100. 16 and several fours on the way to the impressive close all. he is still on

the crease at the moment but ben stokes and himself involved in a bit ofan stokes and himself involved in a bit of an altercation at in the square. stokes a bit frustrated with the way it has gone so far this morning to england. it bowl boating stole back to his mark at one point, ben stokes marched off to the boundary to be heckled somewhat by the bangladesh supporters who are here in huge numbers has to be said. england having really struggled, it is iqbal at the moment. moving to 300, if not beyond that. any score of 300 it will be difficult for england to respond now with that scoreboard pressure. not the best start. thank you. it looks like french winger antoine griezmann won't be going to manchester united — according to sources close to the club. it had been widely reported that united were making griezmann their top target this summer and were close to triggering the escape clause in his contract with atletico madrid. but it seems united have turned their attention away from the winger to concentrate on signing a main striker. their first test takes place this

weekend but british & irish lions head coach warren gatland says there'll be a battle for the number ten shirt. the squad begin their tour of new zealand on saturday taking on the provincial barbarians. owen farrell, dan biggar and jenny sexton will compete for the fly half spot — with the irishman starting this weekend. but gatland has said the other two are likely to start in the following two games. knowing that three of them, they are desperate to all want to play and start in that position. last week, at the end of training i sort of said, cani at the end of training i sort of said, can i have a chat to the tendons, and down was there and jonny sexton was there. oh and was there. jonny said, don't worry about him, he'sa there. jonny said, don't worry about him, he's a midfielder. laughter there's already a bit of banter about. i think the players are

pretty aware of the competition and their position. andy murray is on court in the second round of the french open — he's facing world number 50 martin klizan where (gfx) murray is 11—2 down in the first set after losing his serve later britain's kyle edmund is up against argentina's renzo oleevo. that's all the sport for now. you can keep up to date with the latest from roland garros online along with all of today's stories on the bbc sport website. theresa may has been focusing on brexit as campaigning resumes after the bbc tv election debate. speaking in teesside, she said that britain would be more prosperous once it leaves the european union. after her speech, the prime minister took questions from media beginning with the bbc. you warned recently that there would be dire consequences if you did not manage to get a deal between britain and the eu. but you have not spelt out what those consequences would be? can you tell us now and under

what circumstances would you be prepared to walk away from the negotiations? in the speech i have just given i pointed out some of the problems if we do not get the deal from brexit. but if i look at what a bad deal might look like, we have got if you like, two groups here. people in europe who are talking about punishing the uk. i think if we went down that route, that would lead to a bad deal for us. on the other hand, you have people here in the uk and other political parties who seem willing to sign up for a deal whatever the price. who seem willing to sign up for a dealwhateverthe price. i who seem willing to sign up for a deal whatever the price. ithink they would end up with the worst possible deal at the highest price. that would be bad for our country and families will pay the price. applause emily morgan from itv news. emily morgan from itv newslj emily morgan from itv news. i wonder if you will tell us how you think the campaign is going. did you ever

think in your wildest nightmares that the party would be where it is now, just a week before polling day? ifi now, just a week before polling day? if i may, can you tell us what you have done to try to persuade president trump not to pull out of the paris climate agreement? first of all, the campaign, i have been doing right when i have been doing for the beginning, which is getting out and about, getting around the country. i will be on every corner of the country over the next few days. taking this message out to people of the clear choice they have on the 8th ofjune. there are only one of two people who will be premised: me jeremy corbyn. one of two people who will be premised: mejeremy corbyn. but one of two people who will be premised: me jeremy corbyn. but also talking about not just the importance of getting the brexit negotiations right, but what kind of future we can build together beyond brexit. the question people have to ask themselves is not about how they voted before, but who do they want to see leading this country in the brexit negotiations and leading the country for the future. you asked about president trump and the paris agreement on climate change. we

retain our commitments, we are a leading nation in the world in terms of dealing with climate change, and it was only at the g—7 of dealing with climate change, and it was only at the 6—7 last week that i was making clear to president trump as were other leaders sitting around that table, the importance we attach to the paris agreement. michael? michael crick from channel 4 news. is the reason you are doing so badly knocked that whenever people ask you about policy, all we get our cliches and platitudes? we have seen the same today. people think there is nothing there. let's get something straight, shall we? you mention the £8 billion for the health service and managing money, where is the £8 billion coming from? first of all, what we have published isa first of all, what we have published is a manifesto that addresses the big challenges that this country faces, notjust over the next big challenges that this country faces, not just over the next five years but beyond. we have set out clearly some of the hard choices

that need to be made and how we will address those challenges. you ask about extra funding being put into the nhs. let's look at our record of funding on the nhs. it is through the growth... just two microphones. wait a the growth... just two microphones. waita minute. the growth... just two microphones. wait a minute. we have shown that with the growth of the economy, we are able to ensure that we are putting that extra money into the nhs. you have been one or two of my speeches now, michael, you will have heard me make the point in those numberof other heard me make the point in those number of other agents, that funding the nhs depends on having a strong economy ennobled to generate those funds. applause beth. if the money for the nhs goes downhill, then the money won't be there! then you should vote conservative to make sure the economy doesn't go downhill. —— to

make sure the nhs doesn't go downhill. beth rigby, sky news. to go back to michael ‘s point. you talk about immigration being too high, but many experts will say that if you cut it to the tens of thousands, the economy will take a hit and that will affect all our children's futures. do you accept that, and be straight with people, what is a realistic level for immigration? how many work visas do you anticipate you will need to not have an economic contraction in this country? first of all, we have retained our commitments to bring net migration down to sustainable levels. that's the tens of thousands. why have we done that? because we recognise the impact that immigration has when it is too high,

and too fast on people. it is people at the lower end of the income scale who most feel that impact. both in displacing jobs and in keeping wages down. it also can put pressure on public services. but what we do need to do in terms of the economy for the future is make sure that young people here in this country are trained in the skills they need to ta ke trained in the skills they need to take the dogs of the future. that's why what we are doing in technical education will be so important for out education will be so important for our future. education will be so important for ourfuture. —— education will be so important for our future. —— the jobs of the future. harry called from the sun. on tuesday you launched a blistering personal attack on jeremy on tuesday you launched a blistering personal attack onjeremy corbyn. 48 hours eu are preaching national unity and the end of tribal politics. you concerned that your campaigning is all over the place and gives off a sense of panic? on tuesday amid the point that corbyn is not the job. he has no plan for

the brexit negotiations which will start 11 days after election day. he has not got a plan for building a stronger economy and a more secure future for this country, and he does not have a plan for insuring our national security. that's why i say there is a clear choice of people at there is a clear choice of people at the election next week, injust three weeks' time. it is, who do they want to see, who do they think has got the strong and stable leadership to take this country through into the future? yes. jack. jack may burn from the daily telegraph. can i ask, the latest poll gives your party a lead ofjust three points over labour? why do you think the 24 point lead you happen the election campaign began has evaporated? jack, you know there is only one poll that matters and that is the pole that is going to take place next thursday on the general election when people actually go and cast their votes and when they do that, the choice they have is a simple one. there is only one of two

people who was going to be prime minister. it's either me orjeremy corbyn. the choice people have is do they want to... how do they see the future? they they want to... how do they see the future ? they have they want to... how do they see the future? they have a choice to decide who they want to lead this country into those brexit negotiations. get the best deal for britain from those negotiations, but also lead us to build on that stronger, more prosperous future for a country. it's a clear choice. i think it is me and my team that have that strong and stable leadership to be able to ta ke and stable leadership to be able to take this country into those brexit negotiations, get the best deal, but built that stronger and more secure, fairer, more prosperous future as well. theresa may they're taking questions a short while ago. in the next hourjeremy corbyn is expected to give labour's position on brexit, in a speech in essex. our chief political correspondent vicki young is travelling with him. she's in basildon. are they buoyed by what happened at the debate last night? i think they feel the

momentum is with them, now, whether they believe the polls are not. you can see there is a spring injeremy corbyn's step. he has come here today to essex, interestingly, to basildon. a seat which is really between all three parties. last time ukip held the seat, tories second, labour third. what you can see today with theresa may and jeremy corbyn is both trying to entice ukip voters over to their side. i think in an area like this, jeremy corbyn would hope he can draw some people back who went to ukip last time around. their offer in their manifesto with the policies they are offering two people, they think they are proving to be popular. interesting today he is talking directly about brexit, something he has not done an awful lot of recently. labour have had problems with that policy, their approach to it, most of their mps problems with that policy, their approach to it, most of their mp5 on the remain side of the argument during the referendum. lots of voters not agreeing with them. what

mr corbyn is going to focus on today is the idea that theresa may has said that no deal is better than a bad deal. he will say the opposite, that insect after sector, no deal could prove to be an economic disaster. theresa may's approach risks a jobs meltdown across britain. we better talk to you later once he has spoken, thank you very much. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc news: the main parties focus on brexit as the leaders travel across britain canvassing support. president trump is to confirm tonight whether or not the us will stick to a major commitment on international climate change. tickets for the concert to benefit the victims of the manchester attack sell out within minutes of going on sale. in the business news: uk house prices fell for the third consecutive month in may, according to the nationwide. it was the first time that prices had fallen for three months in a row since 2009.

prices dropped 0.2% in may, while the annual rate of price growth slowed to 2.1% — the slowest pace for almost four years. nationwide said it was further evidence that the housing market was "losing momentum". insurers have warned customers that their premiums will go up because to a tax rise that has now come into force. calculations suggest that the increase in the insurance premium tax will add eight pounds to the average motor policy but younger drivers with more higher premiums could pay 20 pounds more. this latest rise of two percentage points to 12% means that the tax has doubled in only a few years. a record number of people are paying the highest rate of income tax, but remain a fraction of total taxpayer numbers. an estimated 364,000 people are paying the 45p rate of tax on income over £150,000, up from 311,000 in 2013—14. they represent 1.2% of income tax payers in the uk, figures from hm revenue

and customs (hmrc) show. the number of people paying at the basic (20%) and higher (40%) rates of tax has fallen slightly. more on warnings about an expected rise in insurance premiums now. companies are telling their customers to brace themselves for higher bills. it's because of another increase in the insurance premium tax — which will affect notjust motor and home and health policies — but pet insurance as well. insurers are warning that the average family will be paying £47 more a year as a result. steve white is the chief executive of the british insurance brokers' association. not him. he will be coming up on the screen shortly. glad you are here on

the screen instead of the dog! first of all, let's focus on why you are passing on this tax rise to your customers. because, many insurance companies have reported profits in double digits. can't you absorb this tax rather than pass it on to your customers? we speak the insurance brokers and customers, not insurers. this is a tax that has been in place for over 20 years on from its inception it has been passed on to customers. the label on the tax insurance premium is a bit of a giveaway. its attacks on the premium. insurers pay act as collection point. ok, but isn't it fairto collection point. ok, but isn't it fair to say that a lot of customers would say, our insurance premiums have been going up, at the same time as many insurance companies have seen their profits rise dramatically? surely our premiums could be kept low as a compensation for this high rate of tax? as i

repeat, but over 20 years this tax has been collected by the insurers. it isa has been collected by the insurers. it is a tax on the premium, as the label defines it. ok. so why are you particularly concerned? do you feel as though more customers will go uninsured because of this? in the last 20 years, the tax has only increased a couple of times up to 20 months ago. now it has been treated by the government as a stealth tax. it isa by the government as a stealth tax. it is a tax on protection, insurances are calls for god, they ta ke insurances are calls for god, they take pressure off the state when things go wrong. —— insurance are causes for good. it almost taxes people for doing the right thing, not the wrong thing. this doubling of the tax will lead to more under insurance and in some cases perhaps no insurance at all. we look at the effect perhaps on motor insurance premiums. we're being told they could go up by about £8 for the average driver, around £20 for younger drivers. however, at the same time, the insurance industry

has promised to pass the windfall from changes to whiplash injuries. that could be £40 per driver. overall, do you still see premiums going up? yes, because of the change to the ogden discount rate. this applies to the payment of catastrophic lump sum claims payments for those poor people that have catastrophic accidents. that change has produced a rates down two minus not .75%. that will have a significant increase on major claim pay—outs which will have to be passed on through higher premiums. steve white, many thanks. chief executive of the british insurers association. in other business stories we're following: us paints firm ppg has dropped a proposal to buy the dulux—owner akzonobel. in april, ppg offered to pay £22.8 billion for akzo. ppg boss michael mcgarry said it had made a final offer last week, but after no response the firm was withdrawing the proposal. shares in the luxury shoe maker

jimmy choo have risen following a robust figures in its trading update. the british firm put itself up for sale in april but there was no word in the statement about any offers on the table. and its reported that the takeaway company deliveroo is offering its drivers the option to be paid for each order they deliver, rather than per hour — a move which the company hopes will reinforce the riders' status as self—employed contractors, rather than employees. been a session of quite choppy trading , while the pound extended losses on growing uncertainty about the outcome of next week's election. the euro the euro against the euro against the the euro against the pound the euro against the pound there the euro against the pound there at the euro against the pound there at the bottom of the screen. let's look at tesco because it has fallen. supermarket giant tesco was fallen.

where his friend was... it is story time in liverpool. this charity, called the reader, encourages children to get their hands on books. getting young kids to read isn't hard — a new survey suggests the real challenge is keeping boys reading when they get older. i have got three boys and i think as they get older it does get more difficult to keep them interested in reading. we have always read to them and i think it isjust about giving them things to read that they find exciting and interesting. the national literacy survey asked more than 40,000 children across britain how much they like reading. the eight to 11—year—old boys were largely enthusiastic, more than seven out of ten of them said they liked reading very much or quite a lot. but only a third of older teenage boys gave the same response. the challenge is building up that pattern early, thinking of how in particular during the teenage years we promote reading to boys, that is about finding books about things they are interested in, whether it is football, dragons,

sharks, and making sure those books are on hand. overall, girls like reading more than boys and the positive news from this year's survey is that the number of girls and boys of all ages who are keen on books is going up, not down. time for a look at the weather. thank you simon. the weather is as sunny out there as your tie. beautiful weather, clear blue skies across many eastern parts of the country but it has turned across many north—western areas. a totally different story. grey skies, outbreaks of rain. but it is how it will stay through the course of the day. this is a picture from lisa in nine, in highland. but look at that,

essex. clear blue skies. this is the low pressure that has bringing the low pressure that has bringing the low pressure. you can see the clear whether here. also what is happening and what we have been predicting for and what we have been predicting for a few days is that ahead of this weather system here, we will see warmer weather system here, we will see warmeraircoming infrom weather system here, we will see warmer air coming in from the south heading northwards. many areas across england today, particularly central and eastern will be warm. coastal areas on the cool side. but 24, maybe even 26 celsius, the second half of the day. warm all the way up into sunderland and newcastle as well. clearly for northern ireland and western parts of scotland, a different story. this is the fresh atlantic air that has arrived. what can we expect? this weather front is quite slow moving. it's moving northwards rather than directly east. it's sliding along the country. by the end of the night, you could see spots of rain

into wales, southern scotland and also the lake district. eventually this weather front does decide across the uk, only relatively slowly. the fresh air comes in behind. some showers, sunny spells, still warm. you will notice some lightning bolts there, there is a chance of some storms during the course of the day. across the south—east and east anglia. quite a temperature contrast. those storms may rumble on into the evening, friday night. in the west it will be much fresher, easing the field to the air. the weekend, weather front and winds coming in our direction. an awful lot of wind and rain, showers likely. on balance, a decent day if you don't mind a few showers. maybe a crack of thunder in those heavier ones in the north. a few showers in these western areas in the north. eastern areas staying dry throughout the weekend. that's it.

it's looking pretty mixed this weekend, but certainly some sunshine on offer as well. have a good afternoon. this is bbc news. i'm simon mccoy. the headlines at 2pm: the main parties focus on brexit as the leaders travel britain canvassing support. i'm confident that we can fulfil the promise of brexit together and build a britain that is stronger, ferreira, and even more prosperous thanit ferreira, and even more prosperous than it is today. and in the next half hour, the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will be in essex where he will warn that theresa may's approach to brexit risks "a jobs meltdown". we'll be bringing you that event live here on bbc news. other developing stories this afternoon... president trump is to announce whether the us will pull out of the paris climate agreement. but he's coming under increasing international pressure to honour the commitment to cut greenhouse gases. tickets for sunday's concert to raise money for the victims
