if‘ai‘it that i took a lot from was the thing that i took a lot from andl was the thing that i took a lot from and i think the rest of the lads did too. so football's oldest rivalry remains as keen as ever. at hampden park museum scotland fans can remember the good times against england including when they beat the then world champions 1967 full stop it was a second goal. exactly 50 yea rs it was a second goal. exactly 50 years on from that famous win they'll be hoping to prove the glory days are not just they'll be hoping to prove the glory days are notjust a thing of the past. andy swiss, bbc news, glasgow. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith—lucas. this soggy dougie has been sat outside a polling station. there's a lot of cloud around and outbreaks of rain. the cloud and rain are pushing northwards and eastwards across many parts of the country. we're not all seeing the rain this afternoon. dry in the far south—east and some brighter skies across the far north
1:31 pm
of scotland. as we had through the afternoon there will be some showers around. the showers could be quite heavy at times. in a line from the south—west of england, the bristol channel, up towards the midlands and lincolnshire. to the south—east of that we could get spots of light rain across london and the region over the next few hours, but a lot of dry weather in the afternoon. a few sunny spells and scattered showers across northern england and wales. for northern ireland the rain could be heavy at times. quite a lot of lying surface water, spray on the roads, and across scotland wet weather working northwards. the northern isles should stay dry for a good part of the day. into the evening, the rain becomes persistent across the north west of scotland will. elsewhere across the country clearer skies. some showers across western parts of england and wales. temperatures overnight about 11—13 for most of us. tomorrow is the day of sunshine and showers. initially through the morning most of the showers will be in the west. through the day they will drift eastwards. we will keep more persistent rain
1:32 pm
for the far north of scotland. it should ease away later in the day. sunny spells, temperatures warmer than today, up to about 22 celsius, but there could be the odd heavy shower particularly in the east in the afternoon, perhaps the rumble of thunder. into the weekend, the next area of low pressure works in from the atlantic. some quite tight isobars. during saturday we're likely to seize and wet weather across northern and western parts of the country. there could be some rain as england take on scotland in the world cup qualifier. likely to remain dry in the south—east, 22—23 here. not a bad day. sunday is the dry day in many parts of the country. winds easing. still quite breezy in the north—west with some showers but you are less likely to see the showers further south and east. there could be the odd heavy one around, 23 or so. if you're looking to the weekend, saturday is quite a breezy day. some rain in the north and west. sunday is a mix of
1:33 pm
blustery rain and showers. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. new video emerges of the london attackers filmed outside a gym days before the attack. there's more from 9:55pm tonight on the election. it's goodbye from me. wejoined the news teams where you are. good afternoon. striker diego costa could be on his way out of chelsea after claiming he'd been told he wasn't wanted at the club. costa was influential this season, scoring 20 premier league goals as antonio conte's side cantered to the title. costa spoke to reporters after spain's draw with colombia last night, saying conte had told him he could leave ‘in a text message.‘
1:34 pm
i will be sincere, the other day i got a text message from the coach saying i was not in his plans, so right now, i am a chelsea player because i have a contract there, but the coach does not want me there, so i have to leave, no matter what. i don't know where i will go, i will see. people should know i cherish the team a lot and i also love to live in madrid, but i also have to think of my future. liverpool striker ben woodburn has pulled out of wales' squad for their world cup qualifier in serbia on sunday. he was set to earn his first cap but he's picked up a calf injury. he's been replaced by another uncapped player, marley watkins, who's just signed for norwich from barnsley. england are without usual captain wayne rooney for the world cup qualifier against scotland this weekend. with questions over rooney's future, the premier league's top scorer last season, harry kane, thinks he's ready to step up — despite being just 23. any player growing up as
1:35 pm
a footballer dreams of being england captain one day and i am no different. but look, it is down to gareth, and he is the manager. we have a lot of leaders in the team and i think that is important and that's what we're trying to get across, that whoever is captain is captain, but there's plenty of other leaders who can talk and help each other out, and that is the main focus. the england under 20s have managed to pull back a goal and now lead in their world cup semi—final against italy in south korea. juventus midfielder riccardo orsolini to score in just the second minute. but dominic solanke who willjoin liverpool from chelsea next month has managed to equalise with england now pushing for a winner. look and has put england in front in the last few minutes. they'll play venezuela in this weekend's final after their win over uruguay earlier. the winners of that match will face venezuela in the final, after they beat uruguay in a match dominated by an incredible refereeing decision.
1:36 pm
he ignored a penalty plea from agustin canobbio, believing he'd dived — but after looking at the video, he inexplicably changed his mind, even though it was clear the player hadn't been touched. uruguay scored from the spot and venezuela were on their way out until samuel sosa scored a cracking equaliser in injury time. it went to penalties. and venezuela won 4—3. the new zealand rugby coach steve hansen says he still believes the current lions side is the best to tour the country. warren gatland has named alun wynjones as skipper of another all—new starting line—up for saturday's match against canterbury crusaders. after yesterday's defeat to auckland blues, gatland said there wasn't much difference between the super rugby sides and the all blacks, but hansen wasn't biting. ijust think he i just think he was ijust think he was probably i just think he was probably trying to ta ke i just think he was probably trying to take a bit of humour after struggling a little bit with his press c0 nfe re nce struggling a little bit with his press conference before that, i suppose. i don't think there is any
1:37 pm
comparison to super rugby and test by, comparison to super rugby and test rugby, but he's properly trying to make a light comment, possibly. i don't know. defending champions india are on their way to posting a big total in their champions trophy match against sri lanka. they were put into bat at the oval and the openers made a strong start. shikwar darwan has passed his century and is still at the crease and rohit sharma backed him up with a 78 before he was caught. the middle order has struggled a little more to make an impact, but with 9 overs left to bat, india have reached 234 with wickets still in hand. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour so the polls are open and voting is under way across the uk, with 650 seats in the house of commons up for grabs. christian fraser has been looking at some of the numbers. it's a numbers game, a general election and there are some big numbers for us to consider this time around. here's the biggest of them all —
1:38 pm
46.9 million people eligible to vote. a million more people on the register. there's been a surge in fact in places around the country, up to 10%, particularly in student areas. turnout last time around, slightly down on 2010 — 66.4%. but that's by no means the lowest. you have to go all the way back to 1918, to the end of the first world war when the turnout was 57.2%. up and down the country, there are 50,000 polling stations give or take, a maximum of 2,500 voters per station. you will see them in libraries, in schools, there is even one this time about in a launderette in oxford. polling began at seven o'clock this morning, it will close tonight at 10pm. don't worry if you get there very late and there is a queue, so long as you are there before 10pm, you will be allowed to vote. and don't worry if you don't
1:39 pm
have your voter registration card, a name and address will suffice. once you get into the polling booths, you will have a card like this in front of you. candidates will be listed in alphabetical order. just put a cross in this box here next to whichever candidate you're choosing. don't put a squiggle or a dot or a tick because there is a danger your ballot will be considered a spoiled ballot. you will be aware that there is always this rush once the polls have closed for particular polling stations to declare. that title has gone to houghton and sunderland south, six times running. the last time they declared at 10.a8pm, 48 minutes after the polls closed. 650 constituencies up and down the country. that's the magic number — 326 for a parliamentary majority. the conservatives had 331 in 2015. you should get an idea of who was going to win probably around the early hours of the morning. if you can't wait up, then by the time you get up for your breakfast, you should know who will be walking
1:40 pm
through this famous black door, probably followed by larry the cat. bbc london has learnt that more children than ever across the capital are being admitted to hospital for self harm. almost 2,000 young people were taken in last year for cutting their body, overdosing on pills or burning themselves. its a 10% rise on the year before. but experts say the real figure is likely to be much higher. you may find some parts of this report disturbing and it does also contain flashing images. charlotte franks reports. i used to lock my room so i would isolate myself from everyone. i would always just think bad thoughts and at night i'd be crying myself to sleep every night. sarah began cutting yourself four years ago. she was only 11 years old when she first tried it. self—harming was just kind of a way for me to get all those feelings out.
1:41 pm
mum and dad had split up because he had been cheating on her throughout the years. ijust kind of found out information that was heartbreaking for me as a child. ijust needed to let out pain that was breaking me inside. like hundreds of children in london, 15—year—old sarah's self—harming has led to numerous a&e visits. figures obtained by bbc london have revealed that more children than ever across the capital are being admitted to hospital for self—harm. almost 1,900 were taken in last year for cutting, overdosing on pills or burning themselves. it's a 10% rise on the year before but experts say this is only the tip of the iceberg. it is widely known that that is really about 25% of all the actual incidents of self—harm. so, if you think, that is thousands more that don't go to a&e. and also it is well understood that about 50% of young people that
1:42 pm
self—harm actually do it secretly so nobody ever knows. in 2014, 15—year—old tallulah wilson from west hampstead showed graphic self—harm content on social media before killing herself. the coroner presiding over the case called on the government to implement better training for child psychiatrists concerning the internet and young people. the department of health recommended the development of a specific modules to cover this. three years on, some tuition is being given at a basic level but that module is still awaiting approvalfrom the general medical council. although we haven't had final sign—off of the curriculum changes, we have put steps in motion to make sure that people are aware and that they are delivering the training on the ground. for sarah, family problems rather than social media are to blame for her self—harm and attempts at suicide. she is finally accessing
1:43 pm
help but does continue to have some dark days. at the time, itjust kind of takes all my bad thoughts away. and it kind of feels like i'm taking all the pain out of my brain and putting it out of yourself, so i have it on my skin and people can see it and obviously they can judge me or know that i am hurting, but it is a relief for me. the majority of children under the age of three haven't visited an nhs dentist in england in the last year. dental surgeons have expressed concern that many parents don't know when young children should have their first check—up. nick quraishi reports. medical advice recommends a child should start dental checkups when they develop their first tooth. yet this analysis of all nhs trusts in england has found a worrying lack of take—up.
1:44 pm
in the year to march, just 20% of one to two—year—olds saw a dentist, meaning 80% didn't. 60% aged one to four missed out on a dental checkup during that same period. the faculty of dental surgery is blaming a widespread misunderstanding about when children should have their first checkup, which, according to guidelines, is around six months. in the year to 2016, well over 9,000 children in england aged one to four had teeth extracted in hospitals, often under general anaesthetic. most of this is down to tooth decay, which the faculty insists is 90% preventable. it says, in a system where dental checkups are free for all under—18s, there is no excuse for the findings. could a political party with no mps become the party of government in just one election?
1:45 pm
that is the challenge facing the new french president emmanuel macron as he looks to turn his presidential triumph into a parliamentary success with his party, la republique en marche. the first round of voting is this sunday. 0ur paris correspondent lucy williamson has been to the port city of marseille to gauge their chances. they call this area the belly of marseille. its narrow market teeming with shoppers preparing to break the daily ramadan fast is one of the poorest districts in france, where unemployment is three times the national average. voters here tend to fall to the far left but president macron‘s new party is hoping to win a parliamentary majority this month from scratch. and it is building support here. translation: this election was all about bringing people together, muslim, arab, indian, christian, we are all the same. there is no hate. today, i am proud to be french.
1:46 pm
karim versini is the party candidate for central marseille. she has been in politics for less than a year and the night, she is facing herfirst ever election debate. all part of mr macron‘s plan to field hundreds of new faces in this race. you know, the political people are used to promising a lot of things and after to adjust politics. we are coming from the real life. we're working every day, we are fixing problems every day. so we now had to do the work. in seats like this one, france's newest party is battling rivals from the political extremes. traditional parties risk losing hundreds of seats in the selection while mr macron‘s army of new faces is predicted a sweeping majority. corinne's main rival is the far left rival, jean—luc melenchon, a household name in france who has twice run for president. he says the success of mr macron and his party is built on the illusion of change. translation: the old parties
1:47 pm
were eliminated, not because they were old but because they were the same. what macron proposes is more of the same, just more extreme. so i don't think it will end well. france's political landscape is changing. emmanuel macron won the presidency by offering it an alternative to both political extremes and political experience. now, he's repeating that formula in a nationwide experiment, perhaps his biggest gamble yet. scientists at the university of bath have developed biodegradable cellulose microbeads that could replace harmful tiny pieces of plastic that pollute the ocean. microbeads are tiny spheres of plastic which are added to products such as face wash, sunscreen and toothpaste to give them a smooth texture. experts warn they end up in rivers and oceans,
1:48 pm
where they are ingested by birds, fish and other marine life. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour, but first, the headlines on bbc news: more arrests in raids in east london, by police investigating the london bridge attack. all round the country polling stations are open as millions of people vote in the general election. sacked fbi chiefjames comey will testify before congress today and say that president trump asked him to drop an investigation into links between the former white house national security adviser and russia. i'm alice baxter. in the business news, flybe has posted a loss
1:49 pm
of £20 million for last year after struggling with slower customer demand and rising costs. that's a sharp reversal of last year's near £3m profit. the firm blamed tough market conditions and the cost of upgrading its it systems. ride—hailing app uber is underfire again after it emerged that its boss in asia obtained the medical records of a passenger who was raped by one of the company's drivers. he's since been fired, but shared the information with uber‘s chief executive, travis kalanick. critics say mr kalanick should also now step down. renewables overtook fossil fuels for generating electricity in the uk yesterday. more electricity was generated from wind, nuclear and solar power than from gas and coal combined. the national grid says that, for the first time, more than half the country's electricity supply was coming from renewable sources yesterday lunchtime. now, are you a fan of mangoes?
1:50 pm
if yes, then here's some good news for you. they could be a little cheaper this year. it's mango season over in india and the harvest has been a bumper one. it's meant that the supply of mangoes to india's main markets has nearly doubled. india's responsible for 40% of the world's mangoes but huge domestic demand means that not many usually make it to the uk. so could the recent glut mean a potentialfall in prices here, and, if so, what should we be doing with all these mangos? to talk on all of this, i am by the owner of the exclusive cinnamon club restau ra nts, owner of the exclusive cinnamon club restaurants, you might recall him from saturday kitchen on the bbc where he is a regular. fantastic to talk to you. indian mangoes, particularly the alfonso mango variety, very popular in the uk, even though they don't travel well,
1:51 pm
why are they so good? alfonso mangoes are frequently addressed as the king of mangoes, and for good reason. it is the right balance of sharpness and sweetness and sourness, and the flesh is very smooth and not fibrous, but if you go back to do india, when people pa rta ke go back to do india, when people partake in debates about which is the best mango, there are about 280 different varieties and i think very often heated debates can be seen cities and towns all over the country, debating on which is the best mango. is it the alfonso, and lord knows, the jury best mango. is it the alfonso, and lord knows, thejury is best mango. is it the alfonso, and lord knows, the jury is still out. 280. what is your favourite? my favourite is the green skinned
1:52 pm
mango, found in the himalaya complains —— planes, and it has a perfume and aroma like very little else has. it is seldom seen outside of india, very little of it, if at all any, is exported out, but that is because there is such great demand back in the country. as you said, it's great, not great and farmers and traders, not necessarily, but for a lot of other people, it's really good news that there is a bumper supply, partly because of production and partly because of production and partly because of production and partly because of the weather and there is a lot of it on the market. because of the weather and there is a lot of it on the marketlj because of the weather and there is a lot of it on the market. ijust wa nt to a lot of it on the market. ijust want to ask you, supposing we can get more of these delicious mangoes in the uk, what should we be doing with them? what is your favourite recipe that uses mangoes? my favourite recipe would be to turn it into a moose or make a coffee —— mousse. if the mangoes are very
1:53 pm
good, the best thing is to chill it for a few hours in the fridge and haveit for a few hours in the fridge and have it on its own. do nothing is the best recipe for a great mango. haveit the best recipe for a great mango. have it on its own, i think i can manage that. thanks. flybe shares up, despite that loss of £20m. but as we've discussed, largely the result of slowing demand and the cost of a new it system. flybe says moves it will cut back on expansion plans to deal with that demand slowdown. investors seem to like what they've heard this morning. remember at the close yesterday, shares in flybe are down 25% this year. we are keeping an eye on the oil, falling for a second day, hitting a one—month low over fears of supply. more on the business pages. you can
1:54 pm
get in touch with me on twitter. that's all the business news. more on mangoes, that was refreshing. failure is something we often shy away from, but that could be slowly changing. a museum of failure has just opened in sweden. it's filled with products that have flopped. the aim is to show that failure is good. our correspondent richard galpin was at the opening. the doors of the world's first museum of failure being opened. it is the brainchild of this man, samuel west. he is a psychologist on a mission to show people here and around the world that failure should be celebrated, because it is part of the process leading to successful innovation. and amongst those studying the weird and wonderful things on display here, there seems to be genuine enthusiasm about the whole concept. i love it.
1:55 pm
i think it is fantastic. the focus on failure, which we normally try to hide under the carpet, to actually expose the failures is the only way to true innovation, i think is fantastic. before the opening party i was given an exclusive tour of this unique museum by its director, samuel west. there are obviously a lot of exhibits here, about 70 in total? 70 different products and services. do you recognise that? google glass. a failure because they didn't take privacy issues seriously enough. another food innovation over here. mcdonald's. $300 million invested on a luxury burger that didn't work out. what success have you had in persuading companies to review their failures and hand over their exhibits to you? zero! the companies refuse to collaborate. what does that make you think?
1:56 pm
itjust really drives home the point of how sensitive an issue failure is, and to what an extent we are willing to go to hide it. as for my favourite exhibit here, that was easy. incredibly, this was marketed as a beauty mask. as you can see inside, there is a whole load of electrodes with gel on them, and if you put them on yourface, you get electric shocks which apparently make you more beautiful, but i can tell you, it is very unpleasant. the hope is that with the opening of this museum, failure will be seen in a very different light. time for a look at the weather.
1:57 pm
things looking unsettled over the next few days with low pressure driving the weather, so today outbreaks of rain, and here is the view from one of the weather watchers taken a couple of hours ago. grey skies are many of us and here is the satellite and radar showing why we have cloud and rain. most of it pushing north and east across the country, some of us will stay dry in the afternoon towards the far south—east and also across the far south—east and also across the north of scotland with sunshine up the north of scotland with sunshine up towards the northern isles, but taking a detailed look, at 4pm we can see showers and some of them are heavy through the likes of cornwall, the bristol channel, and into lincolnshire. there could be a rumble of thunder with the showers. to the south—east, most places dry, and as we head north into northern england, brighter spells, some showers lingering, showers across
1:58 pm
northern ireland where there could be spray on the roads, and scotland as well, much of scotland seeing cloud and outbreaks of rain and the far north of scotland staying dry into the evening hours. through the course of the night, we will see more persistent rain across the north west of scotland and many places become dry but there will be scattered showers across western england and wales as well. temperatures holding up between 11 and 13 degrees. tomorrow, a day of sunshine and showers, more sunshine than today and fewer showers. showers initially in the west will drift east and by the afternoon may be the odd heavy one with rumbles of thunder around the eastern counties. temperatures warmer than today, up to 22 degrees, and the rain eases away from northern scotland. looking at the weekend, low pressure will approach from the atlantic. it won't be right through the weekend but through saturday there will be rain across northern and western parts of the country and you are likely to stay dry towards the south—east and
1:59 pm
into the midlands. 22 degrees on a brighter spells, but breezy with showery rain and there could be sunshine and northern ireland late in the day. sunday looks like the drier and brighter day during the weekend. a mix of sunshine and scattered showers. breezy in the north—west and a chance of one or two heavy ones in the south—east but a little bit warmer. to summarise the weekend weather, saturday, breezy with rain in the north and west, sunday, probably the better date with a mix of sunny spells and a few heavy showers. there is more detail on the weatherfor a few heavy showers. there is more detail on the weather for the week ahead at our website. this is bbc news.
2:00 pm
the headlines at 2pm: new video emerges of the three london terrorists, filmed outside a gym days before the attack. the footage was passed on to police. more arrests have been made in raids in east london, by police investigating the london bridge attack. in fact fbi chiefjames comey prepares to give evidence over links with russia. millions of people are casting their vote in the 2017 general election. also in the next hour — inside afghanistan. the bbc gains rare access into helmand province — and life under the taliban. renewable energy sources generated more electricity than coal and gas yesterday, for the first time in the uk.
