and that poor unsafe and that poor leadership and staff shortages mean that residence ina staff shortages mean that residence in a quarter of facilities are going weeks without being cleaned and are served dangerous levels of medication which sounds particularly shocking. social care has been a story that has never been far from the front pages over the last couple of months and years because there has been an historic underfunding of social care. and during the election campaign. with the dementia tax. one thing with this crisis, the introduction of the national living wage which has put pressure on care homes and has put a number out of business because they haven't been able to afford to exist. labour are going to play politics with the report and say it puts rocket fuel under what they have said, that the issue of social care and its funding issue of social care and its funding is something the government is not very keen to want to talk about given the dementia care row. it needs to be addressed. the care

quality commission officials advising people when selecting a ca re advising people when selecting a care home to check the smell of the home, that is rather alarming. not what you want to hear. caroline abrahams of the charity age uk is like —— abrahams of the charity age uk is like — — says abrahams of the charity age uk is like —— says it is like playing russian roulette when you go to a ca re russian roulette when you go to a care home. one in three, one in four chance of getting a bad care home, it is actually worse odds than russian roulette. the financial stresses in this sector are huge. the cuts that have been passed down to local authorities since 2010 because of the national living wage, the volume of older people in society is putting huge pressure. it is becoming like the nhs, the pressures are so is becoming like the nhs, the pressures are so big that they will have to confront it. this isn't a job or a career that has been particularly loved and of course there are a number of people who see

it as there are a number of people who see itasa there are a number of people who see it as a last resort rather than a viable and exciting career. it is difficult to get the really interested people in this sector into thejobs interested people in this sector into the jobs because there has been no obvious career progression in the sector. speaking of spending, theresa may defending austerity as she faces calls to keep the purse strings tight. also in the daily telegraph. quite a cute cabinet ministers seem to be pushing against austerity but now it has gone the other way —— quite a few. austerity but now it has gone the other way -- quite a few. theresa may hasn't really talked about austerity. there was a quotation where she said there was no magic money tree to give people pay rises but that was quite rare, she wanted to move the agenda onto her agenda but this is a switch back in prime minister's questions, recycling a lot of lines that she heard —— we heard in the coalition under cameron and osborne say that if we don't get control of the deficit we will be

like greece, the economy will spiral out of control and we will have no money to spend on the nhs for public services. going back to the old line. it looks even more out of date because few economists think we are going to turn into greece overnight with a deficit of 3%, which is lower thanit with a deficit of 3%, which is lower than it was, and low interest rates. interesting to see if it works. trying to stamp out the notion that there is a row, whether it is the chancellor who is pushing against it, and where she stands in the debate and it seems that she has come out and put her position on it. number ten were trying to rail back on this and say this was not a decision to be made for now, saying that they would not be talking about this before a majorfiscal event. a lot of toing and froing but you wonder if this will be the end of it

oi’ wonder if this will be the end of it or it will go to a second week. what about america, the ft have a story about america, the ft have a story about the american economy? the federal reserve thinks that the economy is strong enough to start withdrawing the monetary stimulus whereas the debate here, whether brexit can take it, america seems confident it can. already putting up interest rates and now they are going to withdraw some of the asset purchases, selling back these mortgage and treasury bonds that they acquired to boost the american economy. they are going to wind it down. a bit of a split on the federal committee deciding this but essentially they are going to start doing it. this will be a federal moment when they start winding down the balance sheet. it will signal, if successful, that america is moving out of the crisis are in terms of monetary policy. talking of america and crises, they are threatening north korea with force

and the un are meeting to discuss the whole north korea launching of that ballistic missile test. that's right, it is going to be a response, there will be a world responds and we can expect to see more as theresa may goes out to meet with the world leaders at the 620 in hamburg. the us are saying they will respond with force but don't rule out other measures. interesting to see how the world is bonds, especially in relation to china. we will see more in the coming days. in the times newspaper there is a picture of a very happy looking kim jong—un celebrating the launch of the missile which he says was an independence day gift for the united states. very provocative and you have to wonder who this general he

is hiding is as enthusiastic as he is. you have to wonder, given how he treats his staff. although's decision to signal the end of the road for diesel and petrol, in many papers, and have a stolen a march on their rivals? i think they have, it is very interesting. i think it symbolises the degree to which battery technology, the costs of it have fallen, that they feel prepared to make what is a bit of a gamble. the economics are working out in favour of hybrids and public opinion against diesel, that is another story, because everybody associates although with diesel cars, and for them to make this move is quite a moment. we've been expecting it and talking about it but this makes it more concrete. especially on the back of the vw emissions scandal and how diesel drivers could get punished, especially in london, if

they continue with those cars in big cities. the metro has the uk's first he had a jail but we don't think this is a very new story? -- jihadi jail. we have heard about it before but we understand it is the first one that people have been moved into, in the last week. they won't actually named the prisoners who have been moved in although it is understood that lee rigby‘s killer is among them and suggestions that others have gone in. the notion behind this is that you have a jail with those very extreme prisoners who are together so there is less chance of them radicalising other people. a prison within a prison, and this is in county durham. that's correct. suggestions, concerns from the prison officers association that it will make it like the situation in northern ireland, by segregating them, you glorify them to the other

prisoners and it may backfire. we must tread carefully, we don't want that but it seems to make sense, if there is a danger of them radicalising others, to segregate them, so let's keep an eye on it. going back to the ft, they have this story, bearing up, angela merkel and the chinese president with a bit of panda diplomacy, providing us with lovely pictures of pandas all day but the serious point behind this is that this is a growing alliance between germany and china. they have always had strong trade links, them german exporters are much more successful at getting into china than the uk ones. china loves giving pandas to other countries. there we re pandas to other countries. there were more pandas in scotland than there were tory mps once but that is fio there were tory mps once but that is no longer true! it is a nice cuddly story, head of the g20 when it is

going to be tough, she will have to say uncomfortable things about all manner of things. do you think they are "pandering"? manner of things. do you think they are ‘pandering'? i think so! and a story about flying and is. are you going to go to wimbledon?” story about flying and is. are you going to go to wimbledon? i wouldn't be worried. interesting thatjohanna konta says she might have swallowed some. she may have gone through to the third round so perhaps we need to get more of them. apparently it isa to get more of them. apparently it is a plague of them. who knew, this is a plague of them. who knew, this is known as flying and date, and it is known as flying and date, and it isa is known as flying and date, and it is a stage of their reproductive phase when they leave their colonies and go all over the place, a p pa re ntly and go all over the place, apparently deciding to watch wimbledon. leaving the players and fa ns wimbledon. leaving the players and fans travelling to concentrate. i'm

not sure if they would stop you concentrating. the you were trying to zone out. good luck to the brits playing in wimbledon. thanks for being with us. that's it for the papers tonight. thanks to my guests. goodbye. at its best, wednesday was a sumptuous day, especially across central and southern parts of britain. the weather watchers capturing the scene. a bit warm for me in the heart of london, around 29 degrees but further north, they could have done with a view of those degrees to bump things up. improved

picture here, quite a bit of rain earlier in the day. through the rest of the night, cloud and rain in northern ireland, eventually pushing towards the western side of scotland and late on in the night, possibly some thunder with showers from the near continent. a very sticky night, 17-19 near continent. a very sticky night, 17—19 perhaps, much fresher in scotla nd 17—19 perhaps, much fresher in scotland and northern ireland. tomorrow, fine for the most part of the southwest but showers from the word go, accompanied perhaps by thunder, through the south—east and south midlands towards the wash. further north, dry and bright and warm enough. northern ireland, the rain getting away from the coast and it is there to be had again, after a rather wet tuesday. a rather wet start on thursday in central and southern scotland. the rain will become more patchy but thunderstorms

drifting towards the wash, perhaps a new group kicking off in the midlands and the north east of england. thankfully that is a long way away from wimbledon where it remains pretty hot work over the next few days. the seat isn't everywhere, —— the seat isn't everywhere. it could be around 20 degrees in scotland on thursday, nearer 30 in london. thunderstorms going into the north sea leaving another warm night, especially in england and wales. friday, perhaps quieter, enough cloud for showers across scotland and the north of england and despite the cloud filling in, the temperatures will be their highest at around 28,20 nine. friday into saturday, low—pressure extending cloud ever further towards the east and the borders. the weekend is turning fresher, dry foremost with the occasional shower.

—— dryfor foremost with the occasional shower. —— dry for most. this is bbc news. i am ben brown. the headlines at 11pm: the un security council holds an emergency debate about north korea's latest missile launch. the us ambassador calls the test a sharp military escalation. the united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves, and our allies. the government is to send in a taskforce to take over the running of parts of kensington and chelsea council after criticism of the way it's handled the aftermath of the grenfell tower fire. what part of the quiet do you not understand? —— what part of be quiet do you not understand? failed by the police: the disabled refugee whose repeated pleas
