also two nick kyrgios of australia. also two british players. let's have a look at the latest weather. the clouds are looking threatening. there is a 30% chance of rain. there are a few showers around but also a lot of dry and sunny weather. here is the scene in east lothian. as we head through this week the weather is set fair for many of us. there will be some sunshine around, equally the chance of heavy showers. most of us will see dry weather, just a few passing showers in southern and eastern england and scotland as well. the cloud increasing from the west. much of scotla nd cloud increasing from the west. much of scotland will be dry with some sunshine and a few showers for the likes of aberdeenshire. heading south through the midlands, wales and the south of england, some cloud moving in across parts of cornwall.
1:31 pm
moving eastward, you can see light showers in east anglia. at wimbledon there is a small chance of a passing shower. predominantly dry over the next couple of days with those temperatures really on the rise. back to this evening, most of us dry, some rain across northern ireland, it will then shift eastwards into southern scotland and northern england. most other places dry, quite muddy in the south. that will continue for much of this week. we've got this slow—moving front bringing rain. to the north of that, fresher conditions. further south, we've got that warm air, so we will see temperatures up into the mid—20s. through the middle of the
1:32 pm
week, this slow—moving warm front heading north. we will see some light showers on that front, in two parts of scotland as well. northern scotla nd parts of scotland as well. northern scotland will be a bit fresher. further south we've got that warmth kicking in. we are likely to see 28 degrees, even a little bit higher than that. with that heat and humidity we could see some heavy showers and thunderstorms. the warm weather will last through the week for many of us. a reminder of the main story. a 16—year—old girl pleads guilty to killing a seven—year—old in an attack in new york. katie rough was found with severe injuries on a playing field in january. her mother was severe injuries on a playing field injanuary. her mother was one of the first on the scene. we found her
1:33 pm
at the same time as a police officer found her. i cradled her. isaw at the same time as a police officer found her. i cradled her. i saw her injuries. i knew she was gone. that is all from the bbc news at one. we nowjoin the new schemes where you are. you're watching bbc news, i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre. wimbledon fortnight is up and running. we have only had the first night winners and losers butler ted live to the all—england club and join catherine downes. a couple of hours of play, but i'm guessing most of the attention is on centre court with andy murray's defence of his title up and running. it has, it
1:34 pm
a lwa ys title up and running. it has, it always feels a little bit like wimbledon only get going when andy murray is out. it didn't take long, he has opened proceedings on centre court as well, one. a good start from the defending champion, up against the world number 124 alexander bublik of kazakhstan. by his own admission, he has rather unpredictable game, so murray will have to work himself into this one, looking 0k given he has had so much trouble in the build—up to this. injuries, illness, and a hip injury when the last few days. he lost the first round of queens, has withdrawn from exhibition matches, just to make sure the hip is not causing him pain. let's take you to live pictures on centre court at the moment. i can hear the ripple of
1:35 pm
applause and appreciation for murray from the crowd on henman hill behind me. murray is easing himself into the first round match and has a commanding lead in the first set. a couple of breaks to the good, i believe. looking untroubled against the world number 134, alexander bublik. 4—12 and a married there. court number one behind either? court number one opening proceedings with —— venus williams at 37, the oldest player here. cheese rolling back the yea rs, player here. cheese rolling back the years, a great run of form. court number one, 3—3 on centre court will. one of the men's' seed
1:36 pm
has fallen early? yeah. a huge shock for nick kyrgios, the 20 seat the ever popular australian maverick. he had to retire. he wasn't looking and self, moving in a laboured way, grimacing massively, obviously in a lot of pain. another hip injury for him, like andy murray. he was two sets down, 6—4, 6—3. he u nfortu nately had sets down, 6—4, 6—3. he unfortunately had to retire. always popular with the choir, you're never quite sure what you're going to get. laura robson as well, she lost as well in straight sets to a brazilian player. a huge disappointment for british players hoping to see laura robson go through, she'd fallen to 198 in the world rankings after
1:37 pm
struggling for three years or so with fitness and injury problems. a huge disappointment for the laura robson, in fact he was knocked out of wimbledon before andy murray had even set foot on court. oh dear. not a great claim to fame. thanks for the update on the first day of wimbledon. the former chelsea and england captain john terry has joined aston villa. he was out of contract after leaving the blues at the end of last season after 22 years at stamford bridge. he won every trophy going. there was interest from other premier league clubs, west bromwich albion, stoke city and bournemouth, but he's decided to drop down to the championship with villa. the 36—year—old said: "i can't wait to get started now and look to help the squad achieve something special this season. that's all the sport for now, the bbc sport website as more. you can access all their matches at wimbledon, lots of reaction tojohn terry's signing for aston villa as
1:38 pm
well. i'll be back with an update in the next hour. the northern ireland secretary, james brokenshire, will make a commons statement this afternoon about the negotiations to restore power sharing at stormont. he allowed the talks between the democratic unionists and sinn fein to continue after a negotiating period, laid down in law, ran out four days ago. the republicans have said it's unlikely a deal will be reached "in the short term". we are 19 years on from the good friday agreement card ten years on from the saint andrews agreement, the dup are still bargaining against the dup are still bargaining against the bill of rights, marriage equality, legacy issues, respect, it it is -- equality, legacy issues, respect, it it is —— they oppose rights for irish language, writes the ethnic minorities and women, they are opposed to the rights of lesbian and 93v opposed to the rights of lesbian and gay citizens to equal marriage. and in doing all of this, they are emboldened by the alliance with the
1:39 pm
british government, which has taken the initiative in its own interests and against the interests of what needs to happen in this part of ireland. it institutions that have to be reformed, have to be with based on respect and equality, which is the basis they were performed in the first place. that is the only basis on which they can survive. the foreign secretary has become the latest member of the cabinet to put pressure on the chancellor to relax the public sector pay cap. sources close to borisjohnson have made it clear he wants a better deal for workers. he joins the environment secretary, michael gove, who has suggested the 1% pay cap should be lifted. downing street says decisions will be made on a case—by—case basis. let's speak to our chief political correspondent vicki young at westminster. it is striking how many cabinet ministers are coming out publicly and talking about this saying they think it is time that the public
1:40 pm
sector pay cap was axed. downing street saying nothing has changed, there was a budget coming up in the autumn but until that point they have already accepted the recommendations for nurses and doctors and dentists this year, the teachers pay review body will come back later in the year. i was no doubt that the pressure is mounting. it comes at a time we have a report today saying their health service, the number of nurses leaving the profession is more than those joining in. let's discuss this and more with sarah wollaston, the conservatives mp and chair of health committee and the las palmas. is pay a victimiser the is pay a factor? there are number of factors but pay was one of them, it is time for a rethink on public sector pay. if you look at nursing
1:41 pm
salaries, they have fallen in real terms by over 10%. it's been seven years of either a pay freeze or pay restraint. it's time to give the nursing workforce a pay rise. is it right that cabinet ministers and ministers and other mps like yourself are saying there's publicly? is at undermining the chancellor? what it is saying to the chancellor, the this needs to be paid for, this shouldn'tjust come out of general borrowing but he has time now to work up to the autumn statement to look how this is going to be managed and how we will pay for it. in reality it means who will play a bit more, but it is notjust about pave the public sector but a wider demand for the health service outstripping the donations receiving. that is having it in an impact on the services provided. if we just increased pay without looking at the overall increasing of
1:42 pm
the health service, i'm afraid we would have an even tighter squeeze and services and nobody can afford to see that happen. do you feel the conversation has changed since the general election? did you find when you are knocking on doors, voters we re you are knocking on doors, voters were saying this to you? that they we re were saying this to you? that they were concerned about pay and public services as well? undoubtedly, there was a clear message from the public that they want us to look at funding for all public services including pay for public sector workers. i think we now need to have that discussion. in my view, that needs to change from if to howl. i think there is such going pressure that this will happen, and we should now look at how it will happen. i would like to see the pm will involve all parties and this discussion. we look at the manifestos, parties make unrealistic promises that everything can be afforded and only a tiny numberof can be afforded and only a tiny number of people will pay, that is unrealistic. if we're do this
1:43 pm
properly, it must involve us looking at all the options for how we will fund it and that might actually mean taking options from each of the party manifestos, but i'm afraid we can't carry on as we are. it seems that our conservative mps and ministers who are basically saying we are looking at tax rises, potentially. your point is labour saying they would only tax the very richest, you don't think i will be allowed ? richest, you don't think i will be allowed? if we look at what we want to achieve all our public services, we need to look at all the nhs, there are many options for bringing in pay, some of them have had to be dropped from the conservative manifesto around means testing winter fuel payments, changing from the triple lock to the double. but there are other things we could have had. there are still be on the table. whoever is in power after the next election is going to have deep faced this enormous challenge, and rather thanjust
1:44 pm
faced this enormous challenge, and rather than just learning the faced this enormous challenge, and rather thanjust learning the lesson from manifestos that don't give any people bad news because it will affect your chances of being re—elected, let's see a rational discussion about where we need to be, how we will fund it and see politicians working together to find a solution. thank you. a lot of food for thought for the chancellor, he will look carefully he says very strongly that the country needs to live within its means, would suggest that if this were to be done, it would have to be paid for via tax rises. we're going to take a closer look at public sector pay now. who is affected by the cap, how does it compare to the private sector and what would happen if the cap was lifted. to answer those questions, we're joined by chris morris from the bbc reality check team. what's happening with public sector pay? let's go back a few years. in 2010, public sector pay was frozen for two years for anyone earning
1:45 pm
more than £21,000 a year. couple of yea rs more than £21,000 a year. couple of years later, in 2012, it was decided as we know, we've discussed it all day, public sector pay should be pet capped at 1%, and the 2015th budget extended that cap for four more yea rs. extended that cap for four more years. nor in that period. —— we are in that period. this affects roughly 5.1 million people. about a third of those are in the health service, is third in the education system and then you have police officers, people on public sector administration, so on. some people in the nhs also get increments in their pay, if they are in a pay band, alongside that 1% increase for some many people don't. we have seen in recent months, the last couple of yea rs, in recent months, the last couple of years, that low cap is starting to bite. how does tablet sector pay compare with private sector pay? we should have a grasp coming up which
1:46 pm
we can show you exactly what has happen with private and public sector pay. maybe we don't. many tell you about it. in the last few yea rs, tell you about it. in the last few years, public sector pay has been significantly lower than private sector pay, if you look at average pay rises. just after the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, there was a sharp drop in private sector paid, and public sector pay was not affected so badly. in the last few yea rs, affected so badly. in the last few years, private sector pay has risen, not massively but faster than public sector pay. for a few years, inflation was pretty low, so if you get a 1% rise, maybe bubbling just above 1%, if you get increments for certain things, perhaps it wasn't quite so painful. but the last inflation figures we had, inflation nearly at 3% so we if you talk about a1% nearly at 3% so we if you talk about a 1% cap in your public sector pay, thatis a 1% cap in your public sector pay, that is clearly a drop in your standard of living. but again is
1:47 pm
starting to hurt. we had pay review bodies. in sectors in parts of the public sector, both the education and health bodies have said we are having trouble with recruitment because of the public sector pay cap. how much would an increase in public sector pay cost? the short a nswer to public sector pay cost? the short answer to that is about £1.8 billion answer to that is about £1.8 billion a year. 0bviously answer to that is about £1.8 billion a year. obviously there was a debate about whether you get that money from. we have and the answer to go to fund the iss on institute for fiscal studies. the biggest thing we do with the money we pay in taxes pay it back out in benefits, pensions and taxes and welfare benefits and so on, but the second biggest thing we do is pay public servants — the doctors and teachers and nurses and soldiers and policemen and so on. and £180 billion a year extra 1% on that costs quite a lot, knocking on for an extra 2 billion every time you increase it by 1%. so actually, up until now, that restraint has been quite important. and if you lift the restraint, going forward, it will make overall fiscal policy more difficult.
1:48 pm
so roughly £1.8 billion a year every time you want to increase by another 1%. that is why as we saw with vicki's report from westminster, where having a political the debate. do you want to raise taxes, introduced a word we all hate, efficiencies, and spending off workers like it if you want to increase public sector pay, you have to find the money from somewhere. chris morris from bbc reality check, thank you. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour, but first, the headlines on bbc news. a 16—year—old girl has pleaded guilty at leeds crown court to the manslaughter of seven—year—old katie rough. katie was found with severe lacerations to her neck and chest on a playing field in york injanuary and died later in hospital. borisjohnson is the latest senior tory calling for an end to his government's1% pay cap on public sector workers. for the first time in nearly
1:49 pm
a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the uk thanjoining it. i'm vishala sri—pathma. in the business news this afternoon. french energy supplier edf has estimated that the cost of completing the new hinkley point nuclear plant will be £1.5 billion £1.5 billion more than expected. edf say that the total cost is now likely to be £19.6 billion. hinkley will be the uk's first nuclear plant for decades. the energy regulator, 0fgem, says it's considering introducing a price cap on gas and electricity aimed at bills for households on low incomes. it would be similar to a cap already in place for people who use pre—payment meters. 0fgem will focus on whether some families with young children and pensioners who receive the warm home discount

should be protected. four former barclays executives are in court today charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and the provision of unlawful financial assistance over the bank's emergency fundraising at the height of the financial crisis. they include the former chief executive of the bankjohn varley. the charges relate to a deal between barclays and several investment vehicles owned by the qatari state in 2008. good afternoon. we're going to have a look atjobs in the eurozone area now that the unemployment rate was unchanged at 9.3% in may for the eurozone area. now the figures show huge gaps across the region, but generally an encouraging picture. dr marianna koli is the head of faculty & senior lecturer in economics, new college of the humanities. let's start off with the headline
1:51 pm
figure, 9.3% unchanged, what does it tell us about the eurozone economy? the fact it is unchanged is not too worrying. a month is a short time in an economy. if look at longer term trends like a year or several years, there has dropped for a long time. 0ne there has dropped for a long time. one month is nothing to be too worried about. the general direction of travel is exactly the right one, the one most people want to see. of travel is exactly the right one, the one most people want to seem we look at the breakdown of the figures, who are the winners and losers? who is doing well and who isn't? unemployment figures vary a lot based on systems of different countries. naturally, you will have differences between unemployment rates. the uk has traditionally an low unemployment rates because of much more relaxed labour regulations than most of the continent. compare the summer like france, for example, 01’ the summer like france, for example, or germany. what you get is well is the outside of the eurozone tends to
1:52 pm
have lower on average than inside. that is not necessarily to do with the euro, it may have to deal with regulation. there are poorer countries outside the eurozone, they tend to have lower and one because there are few and implement benefits, generally the system is less generous and more tend to work. what about countries like germany, in comparison to greece? germany and greece are different countries as we know from a lot of previous analysis in the last two years. germany tends to have low an appointment as well, and again, there is clearly systemic reason for this. germany goes quite a long way in attempting employ people. they want to avoid long—term unemployment, that would take people out of the labour market, they would lose the ability to work, the sculls come obsolete. that's a worry, because even of the commie picks up
1:53 pm
—— the economy picks up, they would not return. thank you forjoining us. not return. thank you forjoining us. time for a look at some other stories today. bank of england workers are going on strike at the end of the month over pay. it'll be the first time in more than 50 years that the bank has faced a walk—out by staff. now, this comes after a ballot in which 95% of workers voted for industrial action. staff say, for the second year in a row, they'd been offered a pay rise that was below the rate of inflation. samsung is releasing a new phone using parts from its galaxy note 7, which was axed after a battery fault led to some devices catching fire. the new phone — the note fan edition — is meant to "minimise the environmental impact". the handset will go on sale only in south korea at the end of the week, with a safer, smaller battery. gatwick airport closed down a runway yesterday and forced five flights to be diverted after a drone was spotted flying close to the airport.
1:54 pm
in reaction to that, the british airline pilots' association has called for the compulsory registration of drone users. let's have a look at markets before we go. european shares have made a strong start to the week,— helped by energy shares and the price of crude oil touching over $49 per barrel. also, shares in supergroup, the owner of the clothing brand superdry, which is listed in the ftse 250, have risen sharply after it reported a big rise in profits and plans for stand—alone sports stores. that's it for this hour, we are back in an hour's time. last night a movie about maurice e, lead singer of the smith, had its premiere at the edinburgh film festival. and morrisey has yet to say what he thinks of it. our
