there's growing pressure on the prime minister and the chancellor over public sector pay rises, after another cabinet minister raised the prospect of the current 1% cap being lifted. the environment secretary michael gove said the recommendations of public sector pay bodies — which review pay increases — should be respected. one of those bodies has warned that the present cap is putting pressure on the health service. here's our political correspondent iain watson. for every year that there's been a pay freeze or a public sector pay cut, first under a coalition government, then under the conservatives, there's been a demonstration. but since the government lost its majority, protesters have become more hopeful. not one day more was the slogan this weekend, as they marched through parliament square, and there are signs that some of the government are listening. today the environment

secretary said ministers should accept recommendations on pay from independent review bodies. accept recommendations on pay from independent review bodieslj accept recommendations on pay from independent review bodies. i think that we should listen to the pay review bodies who govern each individual area of public sector pgy- these pay review bodies have been set up in order to ensure we can have authoritative for advice on what's required to make sure the public services on which rewrites are effectively starved and the people within them are effectively supported. around 5 million public sector workers have had effectively a1% sector workers have had effectively a 1% cap on pay rises since 2013. this is set to last until the end of the decade, meaning by was in 2000 sector pay would be no higher in real terms than it was there are eight independent pay review bodies which make. they can call for increases above 1%, but the government isn't bound by the recommendations. decisions on police pay and teachers pay are expected to be taken later this month. theresa

may's cabinet is split over the principle of whether to. they can call for increases above 1%, but the government isn't bound by the recommendations. decisions on police pay and teachers pay are expected to be taken later this month. theresa may's cabinet is split over the principle of whether to lift sector pay gap, but it could be dismantled bit by bit. it's widely expected that some of the pay will recommend increases government minister close to the process has told, and a government minister close to the process has that government is prepared to accept those cap should be but not everyone in government is convinced a pay cap should be pay for our public services it's very important that we keep budget discipline, because it's impossible to pay for our public services place, we have saved around 200,000 public sector a growing economy. what we have done on public sector pay, what we have done on public sector pay. by what we have done on public sector pay, by having that cap in place, we have saved around 200,000 public sector lifting the pay gap former nurse, who is now a conservative mp, says the government could pay an even higher price if it keeps it in save £6 billion but a former nurse, who is now a conservative mp, says the government could pay an even higher price if it keeps it in long

i know of colleagues who have left nursing. i know of people who are taking early retirement, for example, because it's a tough job and and they can get otherjobs with, less responsibility for similarat so with, less responsibility for similar at so we've got to look at the the public service. labour said it would simply scrap the cap entirely. we're saying to the pay review bodies get rid of the 1% cap and givea review bodies get rid of the 1% cap and give a fair pay rise. i think they should consider giving people a pay rise in line with earnings. these demonstrators happens across the public service. labour said it would simply scrap the cap entirely. we're saying to the pay review bodies get rid of the 1% cap and give us their pay rise. i think they should consider giving people a pay rise in line with earnings. these demonstrators seeded in ending austerity but they might give two cheers if the government eases the cap on public sector pay. the government has announced it's withdrawing from a 50 year old convention that allows some other countries to fish close to the uk coastline. it says the move will help britain determine its own fishing policy. but the european commission says the convention no longer exists in law.

here's our business correspondent joe lynam. a fortnight after the formal brexit talks started, there's a new front in the negotiations, and it's fish. the uk is quitting a 53—year—old convention which allowed countries like france and belgium to fish right up to the british coastline. we are giving notice that we intend to quit that. it's a provision in the agreement that enables us to do that with a two year notice period. this is important to give us the legal clarity. we're absolutely clear that when we leave the eu, we leave the common fisheries policy, and we will take control for managing fisheries resources in our own waters. that's right out to 200 nautical miles, or the halfway point, the median line. so what is the london fisheries convention? at the moment trawlers from france, belgium, netherlands, germany and ireland can fish to within 6 nautical miles of the british coastline. boats from these countries catch 10,000 tonnes of fish in this area a year. but that's a tiny fraction of more than 700,000 tonnes a year caught by british fishermen. almost all of that fish is caught in the much wider 200 nautical miles around the uk coast. but the decision has angered the irish government, which has the only land

border with britain. its fisheries minister described the move as "unwelcome and unhelpful". and scrapping the convention could also be meaningless. the eu commission said today that the london convention had been superseded by eu rules covered by the common fisheries policy, but fishermen welcomed the action. what it does is make a strong commitment to achieving sovereignty, taking sovereignty over our waters, which international law states is ours at the moment of brexit, and this is just another statement of intent that that will be what happens. so, some welcome the government taking back control, others may view fisheries as a tiny part of britain's economy to be used as a bargaining chip in the frosty relations between britain and the eu. joe lynam, bbc news. the government has identified a further 32 high rise buildings

that have failed fire safety tests, taking the total number to 181. tests are continuing nationwide, in an attempt to identify buildings encased in cladding similar to that used on the grenfell tower. according to the figures, salford has the greatest number of high rises that have failed tests. at least 19 people have been killed in a suicide car bombing in the syrian capital, damascus. the bomber was in one of three cars that had been pursued by security forces. the other two car bombs were intercepted and destroyed. iraqi special forces have recaptured more territory in the old city of mosul, in the final stages of the operation to drive out so—called islamic state. troops and police are now closing in from three sides on the militants, who captured the city three years ago. but iraqi commanders say as many as 50,000 civilians may be trapped behind is lines, as 0rla guerin reports from mosul. safe at last from the dying days of battle against is.

traumatised civilians are fleeing with a little more than the clothes they stand up in, some newly bereaved by the conflict. she weeps for her brother. "every day you ask me how i am", she says, "and we sit together. now my heart is burning". the civilians here have just managed to escape the fighting, they're hungry and tired and they look scared. they've been caught between the two sides at risk, both from both islamic state and the operation against them, but the troops here are being cautious. they want to make sure that no one has emerged who could be a risk. they are concerned that suicide bombers could be trying to come out in among the civilians. we're fine to carry

the women and the kids out, but if it is a medical emergency, it's better if we have our paramedic... british volunteer sally becker is here with a medical charity. a veteran of war, she says nothing compares to mosul. actually, it's the worst. we've got the snipers, we've got the vehicle borne explosive. people, suicide bombers, even women. even a woman yesterday, which makes it extremely dangerous now for us, because most of who we carry is women and children. and many come here, to a field hospital nearby. doctors say they have been losing children to mortars and shrapnel, but soon hundreds could die of hunger. they see dozens per day who are severely malnourished. much of the civilians' suffering here has gone unseen, but three years of is rule have deeply scarred mosul and its people. from this one street in the old city, is executed four men.

"sometimes i worry they'll be back", says this lady. "when i hearfighting at night, i hope i can forget them." a military victory looks close here, but there are fears about is sleeper cells and about the future that may await this broken city. 0rla guerin, bbc news, mosul. stephen hawking has told the bbc that donald trump's decision to withdraw from the paris climate agreement, could doom the planet — and future generations will have no choice but to find life elsewhere. he was speaking on the occasion of his 75th birthday — a milestone he says he never thought he'd reach. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. . when i was diagnosed i was told it would kill me in two or three years.

the lowest point, it's tough to say... i mean, of course, i had some bad dreams afterwards. i couldn't sleep well. i was still a bit tired from everything that happened, emotionally. i was very empty. kvitova underwent an emergency operation lasting almost four hours, but still faced an anxious wait over the outcome. i told my doctor i would like to lie, i'm very nervous, i may throw up a bit, so i'm sorry. but he let me down. he said i could lie, and that's helped me, actually. and it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. by march, kvitova was able to hold a racket again and two months later she even made it to the french open. courage, belief... and podj.

she prepared by winning in birmingham and now incredibly she's being tipped by many for the title. it was my dream, my motivation to be here, to step on the court and play and suddenly i'm the favourite. no, ijust don't get it. the people probably think, but i'm not here to win it. i've already won the biggest fight before, and i won already that i'm here. so i'm happy already. david 0rnstein, bbc news, wimbledon. welshman gerraint thomas is still in the leaders yellowjersey at the tour de france. he and his teamate, the reigning champion chris froome, were caught up in a crash on the second stage today but both managed to rejoin the peleton and froome remains sixth overall. a sprint finish in liege saw germany's marcel kittel win the stage with mark cavendish fourth. england's cricketers have their second win at the women's world cup. they beat sri lanka by 7 wickets in their latest group game. captain heather knight and sarah taylor shared

a partnership of 148 in taunton, to leave them fourth in the standings with four more games to play. the top four will qualify for the semi—finals. and that is all your support for now. thank you. that is it from us, more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. hello, this is bbc news. a smartphone system, which alerts qualified life savers to someone having a heart attack, has been launched for the first time outside of london. the app automatically calls first responders near the emergency, to get them there before paramedics arrive, as james roberson reports. there are already hundreds of them in the five counties covered by east midlands ambulance service. hello there. my name's andy, i'm a responder with the ambulance service. first responders are drawn from emas staff and trained volunteers and also from the police and fire services and the region's various medical staff. they used to have to be

told directly by phone about an emergency, but now there is goodsam. neil white worked on the project. when a critical cardiac arrest is identified, the goodsam system automatically sends an alert to the nearest first responders to get there fast to start cpr. it looks for the nearest five people within 800 metres of the scene, and alerts those. where it can't find somebody, or the first five people have rejected, it will then look further for the next five people. ambulance and medical staff are aware that at home, in the office, or in the street or countryside, your chances of surviving a heart attack are less than 10%. using the goodsam alert system can increase those survival chances. the reality is that only 8% of people outside of hospital who have a cardiac arrest will survive to be discharged alive from hospital. anything we can do to increase that number by getting their hearts going sooner will increase the chance of those people having a productive life. it's taken four years

to develop the system. its use across the world is now growing. already, about 500 first responders are registered across the east midlands to receive alerts. emas hope that number will grow and increase survival rates for heart attack patients. electric airplanes could soon have a dramatic impact on the world. they're less noisy and less polluting than the ones flying around today, and the bbc‘s been given special permission to fly in an experimental electric plane being shown in the uk for the first time. 0ur transport correspondent richard westcott went for a ride. it's a plane that will revolutionise flight. not the spitfire — this. the efusion looks quite ordinary. until you see it being refuelled, that is. no tanker trucks and kerosene, you just change the batteries. runway 1—0, take off at your discretion. it's an experimental aircraft

and the bbc has been offered a rare flight. i mean, the really obvious thing is how lovely and quiet it is. yeah. you don't get all the vibration. right. it's so comfortable and smooth and everything reacts so nicely. is electric the way it's going, are we going to have electric planes in the future, electric cabs? definitely. we are going to have hybrid electric planes of all different sizes, they go up to 50 seaters. maybe 100. for regional aircraft. the efusion can fly for about 30 minutes on one charge, something they want to improve. it will top 140mph, and has a range of around 60 miles. i'm going to try an experiment. i'm going to take my headphones off.

normally you do that in an aircraft, and it's so noisy, you can't hear yourself think. let's see what it's like when i talk into the microphone. can you hear me 0k? it's actually like being in a car on a motorway. it's a lovely way to see the world. but this isn't just about how we're going to be going on holiday, it's about how we're going to pop to the shops. electric engines are cleaner and quieter, making them perfect for flying taxis. seems far—fetched? well, look at this. dubai is testing an electric air cab later this year. and the giant taxi ride firm uber says it wants customers flying around in just six years. it's been seven decades since the jet engine changed the world. electric engines could have a similar impact on air future. richard wescott, bbc news, in an electric plane.

looks like fun. ijust looks like fun. i just want to update you on how we will start the new week. first thing i think it will be on the mild side. a bit fresher to the north of a weather front in the heart of scotland, brighter skies here, quite a bit of cloud associated with this front and it has enough about it for there to be some rain in wales in the south—west of england as the day rolls on. it willjust drag a line of showers down towards the south—east were somewhat brighter showers following behind, a decent day in prospect if the truth were known, and a high of 2324 feeling very warm in the south—eastern quarter, further north well into the teens. 0vernight we will push this area of cloud and rain through northern ireland. tuesday day it will be able the southern half of scotland, the north of england, maybe the north of wales as well. to

the south of that it is quite close, 24, maybe 25, to the north of it somewhat brighter skies but the temperature only 13, 14 or 15. more details for the rest of the week online. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7.00pm: the environment secretary, michael gove, suggests the government could support a lifting of the 1% pay cap for public sector workers. italy calls on other european countries to let in rescue ships — more than 80,000 migrants have arrived there since the start of the year. plans to restrict foreign fishing boats' access to british waters as the government prepares to pull out of a key agreement council tenants whose services have been disrupted by the grenfell tower fire have their rent suspended. also in the next hour: stephen hawking slams donald trump on climate change. he warns the president's decision
