11:01 am
it's100 years since women were allowed tojoin it's100 years since women were allowed to join the uk armed forces. we found out what has changed between their women who served them and those who serve now. good morning. it's friday 7th july. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. president trump has met russia's president vladimir putin face—to—face for the first time. the two leaders shook hands at the 620 summit in the german city of hamburg. they are due to hold further talks later. ros atkins is in hamburg. welcome to the vast conference centre in hamburg, where the g20's summit is taking place. the leaders
11:02 am
are here and ready to start negotiations, moving to what they hope will be a communique on saturday afternoon with commitments on some of the most pressing issues oui’ on some of the most pressing issues our world is facing. there had been broke out last night and into this morning. the german authorities are telling us that over 70 police officers have been injured in the last 2a hours. the rate remain in hospital. we know water cannon has been used and pepper spray but that looks like efforts of the protesters to disrupt the arrivals of the world leaders have not worked. there are many key dynamics we are keeping an eye on, that meeting between vladimir putin and donald trump which will happen later, theresa may will also meet donald trump an xi jinping, the chinese president, and the context of all these discussions is likely to be where america fits
11:03 am
into the global responses to the main issues of our time, trade, response to climate change, and we heard references to that in the first few bars of the summit. let's begin with the president of the european council, donald tusk. i've heard surprisingly promising words from the american president about transatlantic community, about the cooperation between the united states, europe, about our common political tradition and civilisation and the readiness to protect and defend the whole western community. we have been waiting for a long time to hear these words from president trump but the real question is whether it was a one—time incident 01’ whether it was a one—time incident ora whether it was a one—time incident 01’ a new whether it was a one—time incident — whether it was a one—time incident ora new. is_ is also
11:04 am
whether it was a one—time incident oranewlistt-ggofgisalso whether it was a one—time incident or a new i is q of afslasss'éefralso especially after our position in domestic politics was weekend after she failed to get a majority in the recent election. she has an agenda ona number of recent election. she has an agenda on a number of issues, she wants to talk about climate change but also the funding of terrorism. here she is talking about that. i'm talking about dealing with notjust large sums of money financing terrorism but also working with financial services to identify smaller scale transactions that can lead to terrorist activity. i believe this is important. when we deal with this terrorist threat, we need to address it across a range of ways. i ready brought the international community together to look at extremism online
11:05 am
and work to ensure the internet cannot be a safe space for terrorists, now i'm calling on the international community to work together to deal with terrorist financing. i want to get across the scale of this event. the g20 stance for a scale of this event. the g20 stance fora group of scale of this event. the g20 stance for a group of 20, the 19 biggest economies, uk, the us, france, germany, indonesia, plus the european union. you have tv reporters and journalists across a vast media section and areas where delegates can meet other delegates, politicians and media to get their message out and this conference structure is the size of several football pitches and thorough stalls set up by people wishing to lobby on a particular issue and media from around the world, and the leaders
11:06 am
are further down there part of the conference centre which is even more restricted than for i am and even getting in here involved a lot of work, so over the next couple of days there there will be group meetings, bilateral meetings, in particular between donald trump an vladimir putin. remember in warsaw yesterday donald trump said russia was destabilising ukraine, the most explicitly has been on the issue of ukraine, but will he also accused vladimir putin of destabilising america? the american intelligence agencies say russia meddled in the us election, something russia denies. the meetings go into saturday and then saturday afternoon is about a communique from all who have come here, and press conferences from some of the leaders, we do not know how many
11:07 am
will take questions from journalists and we cannot overstate the power people here have. the g20 represents two thirds of the world's population, 80% of its economic output, so while some countries say they feel left out and this is an unreasonable way of going about global business, the idea of the g20 born just global business, the idea of the g20 bornjust under 20 global business, the idea of the g20 born just under 20 years ago was that this is a better decision—making arena than the un assembly and if you get these people in the room, major policy decisions can be taken. we will find out if thatis can be taken. we will find out if that is possible in the next 48 hours and i will be live here the right. theresa may has arrived at the g20 summit where she'll call on leaders to work together to cut off terrorist funding. she's been speaking to our deputy political editorjohn pienaar, who's in hamburg. we heard that short clip where she
11:08 am
was talking about plans to cut off funding to terrorists. what else has she said to you? theresa may has a lot of things she will be talking about, as do all the world leaders here, with a long list of global challenges. north korea, trade, climate change. theresa may has the additional complication of needing to reassert britain's implements after brexit and the election result. all this so she can get on with the business at hand, brexit. she said to meet she meant to be bold, not timid, and that means answering calls from business organisations like the cbi for a particular approach to brexit. they wa nt to particular approach to brexit. they want to see britain stay inside the customs union and the single market until britain finally exits the eu
11:09 am
after a transitional period of whatever length, and i put this to the prime minister when i spoke to her are little while ago. what i want to do is to negotiate their new trade agreement comprehensive free trade agreement with the european union to have that negotiated with and that two—year timescale of the treaty has set, then as part of the ongoing relationship of course we will need to have an implementation period when that is put into place. i want to see as smooth and orderly a process as possible because none of us want to disrupt our economies. we want to ensure we can have that smooth process but it's important we have that free trade agreement, we know what that end state relationship will be for the future and can implement that over a period. so only very limited encouragement for business in her reply to me, she wa nts to for business in her reply to me, she wants to see some implementation
11:10 am
phase, we don't know how long or what would happen, would there be time to prepare to exit the customs union and stay inside those frameworks in the meantime? we don't know how she feels about that. it would have to work its way through in the course of these negotiations which arejust starting, in the course of these negotiations which are just starting, and ordination isn't like the cbi will just have to keep looking and pressing and lobbying and hoping. thank you, john. let me take you to some live pictures from hamburg, the day after the night before, a violent night with many police officers and protesters injured in clashes. clearly a peaceful protest under way at the moment and many of the protesters, estimated tens of thousands in the city for the g20, many here to protest peacefully but others are intent on violence and we
11:11 am
saw violent clashes overnight with around 100 police officers injured. figures for the numbers of protesters injured a re figures for the numbers of protesters injured are unclear at the moment but nearly 30 people were arrested. some accused the police of arrested. some accused the police of a heavy—handed response. but clearly, given the climate around this 620, clearly, given the climate around this g20, the security services there are trying to keep a very tight lid on any demonstrations and protests that are taking place. we will keep you right up to date with events at the g20's there today, including that first meeting between president trump and president putin. the seniorjudge who will lead the grenfell tower public inquiry has faced angry questions from survivors of the fire and local residents at a public
11:12 am
meeting last night. sir martin moore—bick has been accused of ignoring calls for him to consider the social issues which affect public housing. i can't satisfy you because you have some i was giving sir martin moore—bick my opinion. ifelt i was giving sir martin moore—bick my opinion. i felt he was dismissive of our calls for a wider inquiry and what he sees it being about. we don't want this reduced to a mere debate about cladding because the issues are far wider than that. tens of thousands of people will face financial hardship, and be forced into debt, if changes aren't made to the way the new welfare benefit — universal credit — is rolled out. that's according to the charity citizens' advice which is calling for improvements. however, ministers insist the benefit is working — as our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. at the citizens advice office in bridgewater,
11:13 am
an increasing number of people are coming in, complaining about universal credit. vicki kelly has had to take the day off work to sort out her problems. she has no internet access at home and struggles to keep up with the online system. yeah, i'm having to take the day off from work to sort this out! they you want me to work and yet, you've got to take time off! what's it been like, then, the past few months? terrible. struggling for money, having to find other work just to manage. and obviously now, they have stopped it again at the moment, we have to make phone calls, make appointments to come back into thejob centre. and again, it is more time off of work, losing more money. universal credit has been rolled out across britain, six welfare payments such as housing benefit and tax credits being combined into one monthly sum. but problems are emerging — a survey conducted by citizens advice of those people it's helped found over a third of claimants are waiting longer than the six weeks they should for a payment.
11:14 am
one in ten people have to wait over ten weeks for universal credit. more than half have had to borrow money while waiting for their benefit. we are seeing at the moment thousands of people who are seriously worried about their personal situations and cannot fix it because the administration of universal credit is not helping them and the support is not there for them to see their way out of it. ministers insist that universal credit is a success and say most claimants are satisfied with the benefit and that help is available for those with problems. the headlines now. donald trump meets world leaders at the g20's summit in germany, including for the first time russia's vladimir putin, with whom he will hold talks today. police have clashed with protesters
11:15 am
at the summit after violence overnight. water cannon was used to disperse some residents. g re nfell tower disperse some residents. grenfell tower residents say they still lack confidence in the inquiry into the disaster. sir martin moore—bick was tackled last night. and joe root‘s first innings at ending captain is over, after a spectacular first day against south africa at lord's he moved onto 190 this morning. england are 367—7. johanna konta and andy murray lead britain hopes at wimbledon today. and lewis hamilton leads his title rival sebastien vettel drilling at first practice for the australian grand prix. he goes almost half a second quicker as he tops the time sheet. i will be back with more just
11:16 am
after 11:30 sheet. i will be back with more just after11:30 am. if you've flown long haul over the past 40 years, chances are you've been on a boeing 747 — best known as thejumbojet. it revolutionised air travel around the world, making it possible to fly further and for less money. but could the era of big jets be coming to an end? 0ur transport correspondent, richard westcott reports. newsreel: out of the biggest hangar in the world came the world's biggest plane. it's the giant aeroplane that shrank the world — two and a half times bigger than anything else at the time. with its iconic hump, boeing's 747 brought cheap flying to the masses. it nearly bankrupted the company, but ended up saving it. newsreel: even as a toy, the 747 is quite an armful. this is the aeroplane that gave wings to the world. because of its size, because of its range, and its economy. it made it possible for the airlines to fly economically anywhere in the world.
11:17 am
but 50 years on, airlines prefer smaller, more fuel—efficient planes, and boeing says it may finally stop making the jumbo jet. but after all that hard work and all those miles, this is where 747s come for a quiet retirement. in less than a day, an entirejumbo jet has been reduced to that pile of rubble there. they are just smashing up the last piece of fuselage, and all that aluminium will be taken off and turned into beer cans. some of these things are going back to the airline, but others have been bought by private collectors, who will turn them into quirky office furniture. i can't get the films working, though. they have slightly different plans for this jumbo jet. a very rich person has bought the top half of it and apparently
11:18 am
they're going to turn it into some kind of social area, or office. and if we actually go into the cockpit, you've got all the controls, and apparently lots of enthusiasts from all over the world buy this kind of stuff. 1970, and the very first 747 lands in britain. london's heathrow are hot took the arrival of the world's first jumbo jet with surprising ease. it made a big impression on one ogling fan that day. there was a huge thing in the press about this first aeroplane coming in across the atlantic, pan am, and so i had to go and see it. it was a big cuddly aeroplane, it did its best to look after you. it goes for miles, it never runs out of fuel, the systems on it, the 400 series, which is the last one, they were modern systems — a digital aeroplane, everything worked.
11:19 am
what more could a pilot want? the jumbo is not the only giant plane struggling for orders at the moment. archrivals airbus make the even bigger a380, but sales have been poor and they have also slashed production. but the jumbo jet isn't finished yet. that hump is there for a reason — the nose comes up to carry freight. it might carry fewer passengers in future butjohn it might carry fewer passengers in future but john bowe it might carry fewer passengers in future butjohn bowe is full of good will be filling the skies for years to come. 100 years ago today, women were allowed to join the armed forces in the uk. since then quite a lot has changed. women now serve on the front line in support roles such as medics, and bomb disposal experts. we arranged for a world war two veteran to meet a new recruit to discuss their experiences of life in the british army. this is a picture of me when ijoined the army.
11:20 am
and this was me in italy. wow, so beautiful. ijoined the army when i was 19. ijoined the army when i was 17. what did you end up doing? they put me in the signals, the royal signals. 0n d—day i was on night duty and the girls came and woke me up and said, "come and have a look at all the gliders going over." it had just started. people often said to me, were you afraid? we weren't afraid. there was too much going on. may i have a little of that? how do you feel you were treated as a woman in the army during the war? i think we were treated rather well. mind you, some of the barracks
11:21 am
were ghastly, and sometimes the food was pretty grotty. this is barbara. lovely to see you all. any signals? royal signals? hello! what made you decide tojoin the army? the army was something i always wanted to do, it always intrigued me. i come from a health background, so i am going to be joining the royal army medical corps. that's me there, the little one in the middle. that's beautiful. we were introduced to trousers for the first time, when i went to italy. i was looking at your boots. very posh boots. how do you deal with conflict now? because girls, i understand, are allowed to shoot and kill? males and females do nothing different. it means that if and when the time does ever come that a female needs to pull the trigger in combat, she can have 100% confidence in her training that she has been given.
11:22 am
exactly. how do you think you would have felt about that, maybe having to pull the trigger? i don't think i would have any trouble. like you girls, if it were me, i would rather know how to shoot a rifle, you know? because you have to move on. it's a wonderful life. i would recommend any young girl to have a go, even if you're unsure. can i give you a hug? of course! so nice to meet you. and you, becky. it was a real delight. thank you for spending the time. it's been beautiful. thank you. becky fischer and barbara herman comparing experiences. 0ur correspondent sima kotecha is at the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire for us now.
11:23 am
a place that remembers the woman who sacrificed so much as well as the men. absolutely, a tri- service ceremony will start at 12 o'clock with the navy, raf and army commemorating all those women who served in the military and continue to do so. this memorial commemorates hundreds of people who died in conflict and those who died while serving. i'm joined by conflict and those who died while serving. i'mjoined bya conflict and those who died while serving. i'm joined by a woman from the raf who has been serving for 12 yea rs. the raf who has been serving for 12 years. padraic harnan ruth haig. tell me the significance of the event. it's a privilege to be involved in bed and to take part is wonderful, to commemorate all those women who have served and gone before us to lead us to where we are
11:24 am
now with women serving in the military, it's fantastic and will be a good occasion. we know that women's roles have evolved dramatically and from next year they will be able to join infantry units and that is a big step, they will have to undergo rigorous training before they go into battle, how significant is that, andy you think women are capable? obviously i think women are capable? obviously i think women are capable? obviously i think women are capable, it's a big step but it is the final step and women will be serving alongside their male colleagues. i think it's a difficult job, especially in the infantry regiments it's difficult and a lot of men find they are not up to that standard and fail, so why think there will be plenty of women capable of doing it and they will have to pass the same standards as any men and if they do that, they
11:25 am
have the right to serve in those rules. what would you say about attitudes, because women have told me that attitude still seem backwards towards women, especially in the more advanced rules?|j backwards towards women, especially in the more advanced rules? i think as with any part of society there are still some ways to go in achieving complete equality and people's opinions and maybe views on that being eradicated to an extent but i think in my time in the military i found i have been welcome onto a reputed in the same way as if i were onto a reputed in the same way as if iwere a onto a reputed in the same way as if i were a male and i think attitudes are changed by seeing people do their work and do the jobs they do capably their work and do the jobs they do ca pably and well. their work and do the jobs they do capably and well. women make up 1096 of the uk regular armed forces. some people might argue, just 10%? absolutely, and i hope a day like
11:26 am
today produce women who have served and heartheir today produce women who have served and hear their stories and see how many women we have serving in the british military, i would like to think it will inspire a new generation to think they could do that, hopefully there are some young girls seeing this today you might think that is a job for them. thank you, that was repaid from the raf, so the ceremony will start around 12 o'clock and it's the first time a tri- o'clock and it's the first time a tri— service will be held where all three services will come together to commemorate women who are serving and have served for their country. some breaking news from the courts in cardiff, we are hearing that a former religious teacher in his 80s has been sentenced to 13 years in prison. he had been found guilty at an earlier hearing of indecent
11:27 am
assault and eight counts of sexual assault and eight counts of sexual assault against four young girls between 1996 and 2006. his name is muhammad sadiq, a former religious teacher. the court heard he had carried out the abuse while teaching the koran to children at the medina mosque in cardiff. he stopped working there in 2006, and he has just been sentenced to 13 years in prison for those sexual assaults. sian lloyd now looks into the background of the case. hiding his face from the cameras, mohammed siddique's past has finally caught up siddique's past has finally caught up with them. he had been a religious teacher for 30 years, respected in his local community that he abused his position and assaulted four young girls. the abuse took place inside the medina mosque in cardiff while siddique was teaching the koran. now in her 20s,
11:28 am
this young woman dreaded going to the mosque, knowing he would single her out. her words have been re—voiced. her out. her words have been re-voiced. he would call out my name, call me to sit next to him. it would be to read the koran. i don't think he paid any attention to what i was reading. a few minutes in, he would reach down under my clothes and touch me inappropriately. that would last for as long as he felt, i suppose. it feels like it lasted forever. she wasn't mohammed siddique's only victim. the court heard two complaints were made against him in 2006. he was arrested and questioned but no further action was taken against him lowering concerns from the young victim's pa rents concerns from the young victim's parents about how the girls would be affected. now adults, the two young women gave evidence. muhammad sadiq
11:29 am
stopped teaching at the mosque after his initial arrest. the court heard he frequently used physical punishment of children made mistakes during readings, but through these victims the suffering was even worse. did you feel you could tell anybody about what he was doing to you? not really. you don't really know who to turn to. scared to tell my parents because i don't know what their reactions will be and culturally it's ha rd their reactions will be and culturally it's hard to talk about these things. it's a response recognised by people like sharif williams, who helped support victims within the muslim community. williams, who helped support victims within the muslim communitylj williams, who helped support victims within the muslim community. i think these victims are incredibly brave. i think if you're not from the community you have no idea how much it has taken four of them to make a report and go through with all this. it's notjust report and go through with all this. it's not just about finding the courage to say i am about them but
11:30 am
actually the possibility that you might be ostracised and not leave, so might be ostracised and not leave, so they had to overcome a lot to find flashback to come this far. mohammed siddique claimed he was the victim of a conspiracy that opponents within the mosque manipulated the young woman to tell lies against him. the police believe there could be more victims and are urging anyone with information to come forward. now the weather with simon king. temperatures are up to... sunshine in the south—east. the latest picture shows where the sunshine is. north and west, more clout. as we go through the rest of the day, the showers moving west to east. particularly north east scotland. we

11:36 am
back into the agreement. i hope they could find a way to come back into the agreementlj i hope they could find a way to come back into the agreement. i think thatis back into the agreement. i think that is important... is it possible? i believe it is possible. we are not renegotiating the paris agreement, which stays. i want to see the united states look to ways to rejoin. have you any reason why you think he would take that step?” think he would take that step?” think the message given to president trump will be the importance of america coming back into the agreement and i hope to work to make sure that happens. with me is tom burke, a former senior adviser to uk government and chairman of e3g, third generation environmentalism. thank you for coming to talk to us, tom. theresa may talking about the collective message she hopes will be delivered to donald trump on the paris climate change agreement. she thinks it is possible the us might change his mind. do you think that is the case? i do not think there is any chance. they have said it will ta ke any chance. they have said it will take them three years to do it in any case but i think there is very
11:37 am
little prospect. he set his face against it not only internationally but also in terms of domestic policy. what is interesting to observe is the fact that even most americans do not support in doing that. mrs may is right to stress the importance of the rest of the world coming together to give a clear message to mr trump that if security is top of your agenda and migration is top of your agenda and migration is top of your agenda and migration is top of your agenda, you better do something about climate change. viewers may remember the impassioned statement angela merkel released when america announced its withdrawal, when trump announced the withdrawal, when trump announced the withdrawal from the paris climate agreement and she talks about the importance of protecting mother earth. she would like to get something done on this at this summit. absolutely right. i think it is quite a contrast. her reaction immediately when trump made the announcement was very immediately when trump made the announcement was very strong. naturally mrs may's announcement was quite mooted. —— and actually. in a
11:38 am
senseit quite mooted. —— and actually. in a sense it reflects the way in which evenin sense it reflects the way in which even in this summit she will be marginalised because people had noticed she did not rush to follow the lead of angela merkel, hanging back and now trying to say the right things but they do not have the same weight they would have had if she came out at the right time with such strength. what can we expect in terms of any statement on the paris climate change agreement in this summit? will be a reaffirmation of support from other countries which will sideline america and donald trump? i think what is important to look for coming out of this is if anybody else, any of the other countries trying somehow to trim in behind trump and use him as a kind of shield. if you have 19 countries at the summit all lining up behind angela merkel and trump on his own, you have a reaffirmation of the kind you have a reaffirmation of the kind you are talking about. if you begin
11:39 am
to see other countries going in behind trump, you start to worry a bit about whether the trump intervention has weakened the global commitment. if it is the other countries lined up against a donald trump on this, i cannot think how the diplomats can put a gloss on it. it would be a clear message to him they are very unhappy with what he is doing. but they do not necessarily perhaps care about causing offence on that particular subject. i'm not sure anybody in the real world is that bothered on this issue about what trump has to say. if you look at what happened on the same day as the made the announcement about withdrawing from paris, the biggest investment company in the world voted against the board of exxon because they were not coming forward to set out what the climate risks are. there was major investors taking the problem is real and it had to be dealt with urgently. we had volvo coming out
11:40 am
saying they will not build any more internal combustion engine vehicles after 2020. you are seeing the rest of the world moving on. i am not sure in the real economy anybody is much paying attention to what trump says or does and if that results in the american economy not been able to ta ke the american economy not been able to take the opportunities are building a low carbon economy, frankly the rest of the world and especially the chinese, indians and europeans will be very happy about that. tom, thank you. it'll be fascinating to see what emerges from the summit on climate. mental health services in england are being overwhelmed by a combination of rising demand and staff shortages, according to a survey by nhs providers. there are also concerns that extra government money, designed to improve access for patients needing help, is failing to reach front line services. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. two years ago alice victor was struggling with an eating disorder, but her gp told her it

would take at least a year before she was referred for nhs treatment. in the end , alice went private, but thinking back, she remembers that wait as a dangerous time. it takes so much to come out and say i need help and i need professional help, and then to not get it is horrible. and having to wait longer and longer, you get stuck in the same unhealthy thought patterns and your mental illness takes over. a survey of bosses at mental health trusts across england paints a picture of services under pressure. 70% expect demand to increase this year. two out of three trusts say they don't have enough staff to cope, particularly mental health nurses and psychiatrists. and 80% say extra government money intended for mental health is not reaching front line services. we have seen many, many more campaigns up and down the country really talking about breaking down the stigma of presenting for mental health treatment, but that means that demand is going through the roof. and i think we are at risk of mental
11:42 am
health trusts being overwhelmed in the near future. the department of health in england said it expected nhs bosses to make sure an extra billion pounds each year reached front line mental health services by 2021. meanwhile, a bbc radio 5 live investigation has found a 16% rise in ambulance call—outs to people suffering from suspected mental health problems, adding to the signs the pressure is building across the system. studio: thejudge studio: the judge who will face the grim full tower enquiry faced angry residents last night in a three—hour meeting. —— grenfell tower. is facing pressure to step down days after his appointment. he is accused of ignoring calls to consider social
11:43 am
issues affecting public housing. we can speak to robert atkinson, a counsellor at kensington and chelsea. good morning. do you think these accusations are fair or not? to give you a boring answer, i can see both sides. thejudge i think has got to learn to take heckling from upset people. i do not think judges are used to being shouted out. unfortunately the residents have to understand there are constraints on the timing of what the judiciary constraints on the timing of what thejudiciary can constraints on the timing of what the judiciary can do. constraints on the timing of what thejudiciary can do. i think it is very important. the prime minister gave a guarantee the survivors would be given a substantial say in the terms and conditions. that must be respected. when some of the people at those meetings and say that the judge is not capable of dealing with the enquiry, are they giving him a fair chance? clearly there is a lot
11:44 am
of understandable impassioned feeling being expressed in meetings like that for last night. do you think they have given him a fair chance to explore what they want?” think thejudge has chance to explore what they want?” think the judge has got to get started. the terms and conditions can be changed as they go along. but until he gets some parameters, he cannot start work. it is very important they do start. there are other people such as the mayor of london who can sort out the other questions that may be the judiciary cannot. sir martin said he wanted to listen to residents in the area and survivors about the types of questions he would like to take advice from about the questions he would like answers to. the residents said they want to suggest questions will be terms of reference for the public enquiry. in the middle of all
11:45 am
these feelings it sounds like people may be need to take a breath, a step back, and start listening to each other more. perhaps both sides need to better understand the needs of the other side. thejudge cannot start until he gets terms and conditions. theresa may promised the residents that they would have a substantial control of what the terms and conditions are. i am urging everybody to get started and if necessary the terms and conditions can be changed later. there is a basic lack of trust in the establishment, isn't there? understandably. if it wasn't sir martin, who would it be? and in terms of what the residents deserve do you think it is better for them to get going with the enquiry under the lead of sir martin as quickly as possible? i think again, the lead of sir martin as quickly as possible? ithink again, as the lead of sir martin as quickly as possible? i think again, as sadiq khan said, judge people by their
11:46 am
actions. judge thejudge khan said, judge people by their actions. judge the judge on what he doesin actions. judge the judge on what he does in the next few weeks. i figured would help if having made a start thejudge issued progress reports, or intermediate reports. what the residents and survivors are worried about is that the enquiry will go away and not report for two or three years, by which time it is possible that public interest would have waned. counsellor, thank you very much. in a moment a summary of the business news. first, the headlines... donald trump needs world leaders at the 620 donald trump needs world leaders at the g20 in germany including russia's vladimir putin for the first time. he will hold talks with him later today. an 81—year—old former religious teacher has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for sexual offences against children. he carried out the crimes between 1996 and 2006. grenfell tower residents
11:47 am
say they still lack confidence in the chair of the public enquiry into the chair of the public enquiry into the disaster. sir martin moore—bick was heckled at a public meeting last night. good morning. iam ben bland good morning. i am ben bland with the business news. the goods and services the uk's importing from abroad has risen compared to the amount exported. the office for national statistics figures were released a couple of hours ago and show the uk trade deficit increased by £1 billion from april to may. also manufacturing output fell unexpectedly, a particularly sharp drop in car production. the pound has fallen in response. more about that shortly. the food delivery firm deliveroo has said it will pay sickness and injury benefits to its 15,000 riders in the uk if the law is changed. at the moment the firm says, the law prevents it from offering enhanced rights because it classifies its riders as self—employed.
11:48 am
it says employment rules should be changed so that people who work for companies like deliveroo and uber can receive enhanced benefits and not lose that flexibility. an australian state will use the largest. . .. an australian state will install the world's largest lithium ion battery in a "historic" deal with electric car firm tesla and energy company neoen. the battery will protect south australia from the kind of energy crisis which famously blacked out the state, premierjay weatherill said. tesla boss elon musk confirmed a much—publicised promise to build it within 100 days, or do it forfree. more bad news for the uk economy. according to the latest ons figures, the uk's trade deficit grew by £1 billion to £3.1bn. that means, the amount that britain imports compared to the amount it exports, has increased from £10.595 billion in april to £11.863 billion in may.
11:49 am
asa as a country we are buying more from countries than we are selling. that's even worse than the city had been expecting. this news prompted a fall in the value of the pound. and factory output has fallen. joining us now is dr kamala dawar of the uk trade policy observatory. this looks like the uk economy is struggling to gain momentum as we go towards brexit. exactly. the economy is losing dynamism across—the—board. manufacturing output is down, sterling has dropped. the trade deficit is widening. imports up across goods and services. these fluctuations are not that revealing because they could be more cyclical. but looking at general trends, retail sales are down, a big problem for a consumer driven economy. price inflation is up. social benefits are down. wages are flat—lining. leading
11:50 am
toa drop down. wages are flat—lining. leading to a drop in 2% of disposable income. we had not even had brexit yet. having said that, do not get carried away and cause unnecessary alarm, because this week businesses are making the case to the government there should be some kind of transition to safeguard jobs and the success and buoyancy of british business, this data may be gives them a bit of strength, doesn't it, in making their case?” them a bit of strength, doesn't it, in making their case? i would hope the business sector would get its act together more and lobby the government more because the business sector and consumers can really lose out from this. i applaud that but i think we should be more realistic about the fact the economy is dropping now and we have not entered brexit yet. this effect on the value of the pound, it does actually help some companies, the exporters. that is right. it means also we have less money when we want to import and
11:51 am
imports are going up. it offsets the positives with the negative. it is a downward trend, i'm afraid. ok, thank you very much. pleasure. leaders of the g20 group of top economies are gathering in hamburg today. concerns about free trade, the environment, they are high on the environment, they are high on the agenda. for europe, equally pressing is the migration crisis. i spoke to the director of the centre for research and analysis of migration at university college london. what we are seeing at the moment is a continuation of what started in 2015. the emphasis has shifted a little bit to africa from the middle east. we see people are fleeing war, persecution and increasingly poverty. they are making their way over the mediterranean into europe. the borders of libya, which had been
11:52 am
avoiding that in the colonel gaddafi regime are not doing that any more. and this has to be addressed in some way. where we can see and hopefully we'll see consensus is to create situations in those countries where these people are coming from which will make it liveable in future for these people. i think that is something where we can hopefully see something where we can hopefully see some progress at the g20. professor christian dustman speaking to me earlier. —— professor christian dussman speaking to me earlier. you may have used the picture—based search engine pinterest to look for ideas for decorating your house, or maybe a children's craft project. what you may not know is that it's been valued at $12 billion. more than £9 billion. so how does it work as a business? bbc business's vishala sri—pathma caught up with one of its founders.
11:53 am
i used the search engine recently to look for wedding ideas. how does it make money? i spoke to a co—founder. so, what is pinterest? kind of like a search engine but for ideas instead of information. if i went to search for information, how far is it from san francisco to london, i would search for ideas, like a great recipe to cook for dinner or ideas for the house or to style myself for the fall? there are hundreds of ideas and billions of searches. how do you make money? we have advertising. we enable businesses to promote their ideas in the united kingdom and the united states. we started in the united states. and today about one in five americans will use an account with us this month. increasingly our focus has been on international growth. now the majority of our 1005 of the 5
11:54 am
million users come from outside the us. what does growth look like for you? the us. what does growth look like for you ? the future us. what does growth look like for you? the future is visual search. that is really important. earlier thi5 that is really important. earlier this year we launched a way of searching the world around you with the camera and phone. if you are shopping for furniture and you see a great chair you can take a photo and we will show you that and related ideas, the chair in different houses around the world so you can start vi5uali5ing what it might look like in your house. it is part of a larger trend. think about social networks, a lot of the image and vi5ual networks, a lot of the image and visual data has been displacing the text based ones. i firmly believe in 5-10 text based ones. i firmly believe in 5—10 years the visual search will be much bigger than text search. let's checkin much bigger than text search. let's check in on the markets. the ftse100 the ftse1oo hasjust about the ftse1oo has just about tiptoed into positive territory as we approach lunchtime. might have been helped by the fall in the value of
11:55 am
the pound. sterling down at this point with manufacturing data. but a wea k point with manufacturing data. but a weak pound tends to push the ftse 100 higher because companies listed on there with revenues abroad will get more pounds when they convert them. centrica, the owner british gas is one of the best performers on the index today after reports potential buyers might be eyeing it up. on the other hand shares in oil companies are lower. they are responding to a sharp fall, almost 396 responding to a sharp fall, almost 3% down the value of the price of oil. concerns persist about an excessive supply around the world. that is all the business news for now. thank you. the headlines are coming up. first, we will leave you with a look at the weather forecast. yesterday we had 32 celsius in heathrow, london. the heat and humidity sparked some dramatic
11:56 am
thunderstorms. i want to show you some photographs from that year. —— yesterday. clout to cloud lightning in lincolnshire. these storms are a distant memory for today. largely fairly quiet. some sunshine in southern and eastern parts of england. further north and west, more clout. one or two showers. in the sunshine, quite pleasant. not as hot as yesterday but already in the 20s in parts of gloucestershire and the saudis. for the rest of this morning —— —— gloucestershire and the south—east. it will be fairly cloudy. summer breaks in the cloud from time to time. some showers in northern england. but not as heavy as they were yesterday. we could see as they were yesterday. we could see a heavy shower in aberdeenshire. but in west scotland that cloud is breaking nicely to give some sunshine. temperatures about 17 or
11:57 am
18. summer breaks in the cloud for northern ireland. quite a pleasant afternoon. not as hot as yesterday in north—west england and wales. temperatures down by a feud agrees. the risk of a passing shower. but most should be fairly light. —— a few degrees. temperatures into the 20s. south—east of england, they will probably peak at 28 or 29. this evening and tonight, we have this cold front moving south. and behind a cold front, the area is becoming colder. it is across scotland and northern ireland with clearing spells, temperatures down into fairly low single figures. but ahead of that you still hold onto the warm air. again it could be quite uncomfortable in the south—east. on saturday, quite cloudy in the south. one or two showers. but moving south, some breaks in the cloud are developing. further north, some dry
11:58 am
weather. again some sunshine, the best of which is in northern parts. a bit of rain in the far north—west of scotland. temperatures down again. 17—20. 24 in the south—east. on sunday for many of us it should bea dry on sunday for many of us it should be a dry day, some scattered showers developing in central and eastern areas. a bit of rain in the south. temperatures 15—21. in the south—east, round about 26 celsius. that is it from me. goodbye. this is bbc news and these are the top stories developing at midday. donald trump meets world leaders at the g20 summit in germany, including, for the first time, russia's vladimir putin, with whom he'll hold talks later today. police have again clashed with protestors at the summit. police cars have been set alight and water cannon were used to disperse some demonstrators. a former religious teacher has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for sexual offences against children.
11:59 am
the seniorjudge who'll lead the grenfell tower public inquiry has faced angry questions from survivors of the fire and local residents. they're the giants of the skies — but could the era of the jumbo jet be coming to an end? good afternoon. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. president trump has met russia's president vladimir putin face—to—face for the first time. the two leaders shook hands at the g20 summit in the german city of hamburg. they are due to hold
12:00 pm
further talks later. theresa may, who's also in hamburg, said mr trump's decision to withdraw from the paris climate accord was likely to be raised at the meeting. the summit takes place amid tight security following clashes ros atkins is in hamburg. welcome to the vast conference centre in hamburg where the ge 20 is taking place. this event is all by ca pote taking place. this event is all by capote policy, politics and people. trade, immigration, global finance and climate change will dominate, in terms of politics, all the world's most powerful leaders are here and while they are looking for global solutions to global problems, they all have an eye on their domestic situation, and in terms of people, this is about donald trump meeting some he has heard about but never met, in particular that meeting between donald trump and vladimir
12:01 pm
putin. overnight we saw violence in hamburg and we saw protests this morning. we are told by the authorities that over 100 police officers were injured in the last 24 hours, 30 protesters had been arrested and a number of cars were burned out and a reasonably large protest, between 5000 and 10,000 people yesterday, turned violent but we should emphasise them vast majority of protesters were not caught up in the violence. let's bring injenny caught up in the violence. let's bring in jenny hill. caught up in the violence. let's bring injenny hill. what more can you tell us? the violent scenes we saw last night have really continued although things are slightly different data in that what the police seem to be dealing with are much smaller classes all the city. there is a police helicopter circling above and it seems to be moving across parts of the city
12:02 pm
keeping an eye on what is happening beneath. there have been violent clashes, police used water cannon to disperse protesters, cars have been set alight and footage has emerged taken by someone on a bus which appears to show members of the so—called black bloc protest group, people dressed in black. faces, eyes covered. that sounds like our connection tojenny has stopped working. we will try to fix that and speak to her later butjust working. we will try to fix that and speak to her later but just to working. we will try to fix that and speak to her later butjust to pick up speak to her later butjust to pick up on whatjenny was saying, we have seen footage of people dressed in black who were involved in the protest a nd black who were involved in the protest and cars burnt out in the middle of the street in hamburg. while lots of different groups of protesters have different agendas, broadly those on the streets of jack not just to broadly those on the streets of jack notjust to donald trump and his position on climate change but to the 620
12:03 pm
position on climate change but to the g20 and how it represents a system of global capitalism they do not approve of. let me play you what we have heard from some of the leaders arriving. the g20 is the 19 biggest economies in the world plus the eu. donald tusk is the president of the european council and here he is talking earlier. i've heard surprisingly promising words from the american president about the transatlantic community, about the cooperation between the united states and europe, about our common political tradition and civilisation and the readiness to protect and defend the whole western community. we have been waiting for a long time to hear these words from president trump but the real question is whether it was a one—time incident or a new policy. the most keenly anticipated meeting
12:04 pm
of the summit is when donald trump and vladimir putin said down for talks for the first time. let's bring in our correspondent in moscow, sarah rainsford. what you think vladimir putin will look to ta ke think vladimir putin will look to take from this meeting? the kremlin says this is a chance for these two men to finally get acquainted, to look one another in the eye and see if they can get on and begin the potentially difficult process of restoring relations, which are at the lower state they have been since the lower state they have been since the end of the cold war, so it's a big task to rebuild confidence, to rebuild some kind of dialogue between russia and the us. that is what oath men have said they want to do in the past but there is pretty much a do in the past but there is pretty muchafair do in the past but there is pretty much a fair degree of frustration
12:05 pm
here in russia that that has not happened, because despite all those words we heard from donald trump about admiration for vladimir putin, he hasn't followed through on his promise to rebuild relations with any actions, and as we know, coming to the g20 meeting via poland, esther crump was critical of russia, calling on it to end its destabilising actions. the crumlin has been cautious, i asked the spokesman for mr putin had made of those words from donald trump and they said wait and see, this is something president putin will bear in mind for his meeting with donald trump and we will need to wait and see how things go at this meeting. lots of viewers are asking if they will talk about the alleged collusion between russia and trump campaigns and allegations that russia metals the us election. i keep replying saint vladimir putin
12:06 pm
has denied this at all times, hasn't he? he has an donald trump gave a pretty mixed message on that when he was asked yesterday whether he would say directly to vladimir putin that he knew russia had muddled than elections, even on the eve of this meeting, donald trump said yes, russia was behind it, no, we don't know who was behind it, so in moscow they were pretty positive about that. i don't think vladimir putin expects to be drilled or lectured on that issue, there is a lot to discuss, it will not be a very long meeting, potentially half an hour for a little longer. we're getting pictures now of what's called a family photo at g20, and any body language experts, we need your help because leaders are gathering and this is the first proper side we have had vladimir putin and donald
12:07 pm
trump in the same place, there is justin trudeau, prime minister modi from india, shinzo a from japan, donald tusk, vladimir putin, president berger one next to the demure putin —— erdogan. a lot of protesters set their trump was directed mainly towards trump, erdogan and putin, they put them in the same category although the three do not put themselves in the same category. there is theresa may on the second row, at the centre is angela merkel, the host of this g20 summit. it has come down to her to set the agenda. there isjean—claude yunker, president of the european commission. it gives an impression of what a concentration of powerful people this is. any of the top world leaders with real sway over what is
12:08 pm
happening in our world are all within that one photocall taking place at the moment and the argument behind the g20 is that it delivers eve ryo ne behind the g20 is that it delivers everyone into one environment where they can take policy decisions which can then be implemented. there goes justin trudeau. prime minister of canada. we hear emmanuel macron may have swapped positions with donald trump, lots of people analysing every last detail on how the leaders are interacting. there is donald trump at the back of the group, is that emmanuel macron? i'm pretty sure that is him, the president of france, and these two men have had a difficult exchange of views, donald trump pulling america out of the paris agreement, emmanuel macron responding by saying make our planet
12:09 pm
great again and saying france will welcome all climate scientists from the us who are struggling for support, i saw emmanuel macron at the eu summit in brussels, and the confidence he exudes regardless of what you think of his politics was striking. he is a relatively young leader that he looked comfortable on the global stage. there is vladimir putin in conversation with angela merkel, they have a lot to talk about because while they may have differences on climate change, they both agree, they praise the paris climate accord and have both stated their countries are willing to commit to its implementation. where they don't agree is that russia is on the receiving end of sanctions from the west because of annexation of crimea in 2014 and its involvement in ukraine. vladimir putin has said he would like those sanctions eased, so far the west has
12:10 pm
not inclined to do that so perhaps that subject will come up, and then there is the issue of nato. russia has repeatedly criticised its expansion towards the eastern europe and yesterday donald trump in poland spokejust 33 and yesterday donald trump in poland spoke just 33 kilometres from the russian border, praising american troops in poland and the polish commitment to nato and reaffirming america's commitment to nato, so what is extraordinary about this is not just that these leaders are all in one place that the scale of the issues they are grappling with, whether global security and finance, climate change or the nature of trade, or the fact that for the first time we have a real space in terms of approach between the us and many other world powers. this is our first chance to see, there is the
12:11 pm
president of the us, to see how these different approaches by donald trump will play out. some people will say america is stepping away from its global leadership role, especially on issues of trade and climate change. america is coming out of the paris agreement, donald trump is known for his enthusiasm for protectionism, he has been critical of free trade agreements like the north africa free trade agreement, so we are watching to try and save it perhaps those issues of trade and climate change, the french or germans or perhaps the russians and chinese will take a further step into a leadership role. president xi of china was in moscow ahead of this 620 of china was in moscow ahead of this g20 summit when north korea carried out that missile test, the main statement to come out immediately was from the russians and chinese
12:12 pm
calling on north korea to cease testing and on the americans and south koreans to stop their large—scale military exercises. we also got condemnation from donald trump who on north korea has said it has been very bad and he promised to ta ke severe has been very bad and he promised to take severe action. we are watching closely, can donald trump fashion a unified response to the threat from north korea along with the chinese, who share a border with north korea, and the russians? that is what we will be watching closely. there's prime ministerjustin trudeau and one of the senior figures from his security detail walked by, he is known for his commitment to climate change, his commitment to the paris climate accord, so he will be one of a number of leaders pressing donald trump to perhaps reconsider withdrawing from paris although i would not expect that, but at least
12:13 pm
you pressure donald trump to further his commitment to respond to the threat of climate change, inside or outside of the paris climate change agreement. that paris agreement offers a number of commitments, the only three countries who aren't signatories are nicaraguan, syria and america, those who are are committed to keeping our global temperature 2 degrees above preindustrial levels, the longer term ambition is to keep it to 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels. president zuma has been under pressure at home but within sections of his anc party and opposition parties, his critics may say he may be enjoying a couple of days outside south africa and the chance to step away from political pressures but a number of viewers have been asking
12:14 pm
if africa is represented. south africa is the only country which is pa rt africa is the only country which is part of the g20 africa is the only country which is part of the 620 at the african union is also represented and despite its name, 620, there are many more than 20 countries and institutions represented, for example spain has been invited despite not technically being in the g20, been invited despite not technically being in the 620, the african union, the world trade organisation, ijust saw christine lagarde, head of the international monetary fund, so the name is slightly misleading. this is a huge gathering of the world's most powerfulfigures. as a huge gathering of the world's most powerful figures. as well as those temperature targets in the paris accord there is a commitment to every country measuring its emissions every five years and i commitment to climate finance, which countries providing support to developing countries so they can
12:15 pm
ta ke developing countries so they can take on changes that will aid effo rts take on changes that will aid efforts to take on climate change while not suffering financially, so a number of commitments but america will not eat taking those each has its pulling out of the paris agreement. emmanuel macron, donald trump and angela merkel deep in conversation. we remember that handshake when mr macron and mr trump metand handshake when mr macron and mr trump met and it was a test of strength, mr macron even acknowledged he wanted to go in show with he was content to look donald trump in the eye and assert french policy in the face of american disagreement, so fascinating to see these leaders come together. we will watch what they say. not all of it will be available for us to listen end but we will get briefings and press co nfe re nces end but we will get briefings and press conferences and i will be live from right here in the g20 summit through the day. if you have questions you would like me to pick
12:16 pm
up questions you would like me to pick up on, i am on twitter right now taking questions from all around the world so send your questions to my way. ross atkins there. after arriving at the summit in hamburg this morning, theresa may said she would press the global leaders to take a harsher line on tackling terror financing. what i'm doing here is raising the need for us to work collectively internationally to deal with terrorist financing, notjust large sums of money that are financing terrorism but also working with financial services, banks and others, to identify those smaller scale transactions that can lead to terrorist activity. i believe this is important. when we deal with this terrorist threat we are all facing, we need to address it across a range of ways. i've already brought the international community together to look at extremism online and work to ensure the internet cannot be a safe space for terrorists, now i'm calling on the international community to work together to ensure we can deal with terrorist financing.
12:17 pm
the prime minister has been speaking to our deputy political editorjohn pienaar in hamburg this morning. he told me theresa may rejected claims that the uk is losing its global influence because of brexit. theresa may has a lot of things she will be talking about, as do all the world leaders here, with a long list of global challenges. north korea, trade, climate change. theresa may has the additional complication of needing to reassert britain's influence after brexit and the election result. all this so she can get on with the business at hand, brexit. she said to me she meant to be bold, not timid, and that means answering calls from business organisations like the cbi for a particular approach to brexit. they want to see britain stay inside the customs union and the single market until britain finally exits the eu
12:18 pm
after a transitional period of whatever length, and i put this to the prime minister when i spoke to her to her a little while ago. what i want to do is to negotiate a new trade agreement comprehensive free trade agreement with the european union to have that negotiated within that two—year timescale of the treaty has set, then as part of the ongoing relationship of course we will need to have an implementation period when that is put into place. i want to see as smooth and orderly a process as possible because none of us want to disrupt our economies. we want to ensure we can have that smooth process but it's important we have that free trade agreement, we know what that end state relationship will be for the future and can implement that over a period. so only very limited encouragement for business in her reply to me,
12:19 pm
she wants to see some implementation phase, we don't know how long or what would happen, would there be time to prepare to exit the customs union and stay inside those frameworks in the meantime? we don't know how she feels about that. it will have to work its way through in the course of these negotiations which are just starting, and organisations like the cbi willjust have to keep looking and pressing and lobbying and hoping. with me is edward lucas, senior editor at the economist and the author of two books on russia. that family photo was a fascinating one. perhaps more interesting than normal given the forces at work and interesting to consider theresa may and britain's position in the world
12:20 pm
now. i think we should be professors of body language rather than journalists trying to analyse this, but what was striking to me is that angela merkel is notjust the host of this meeting that the leader of the free world, that was a label that was america's since the war, and now donald trump with his views of trade and climate has abdicated that role, germany has a big economy and isa that role, germany has a big economy and is a real heavyweight and is moving to centre stage. and angela merkel was arrived at the centre of that image, donald trump was on the edge of the photo. he has this big meeting with president putin a little later today, what will he wa nt to little later today, what will he want to come out of that and what will president putin mont? want to come out of that and what will president putin mont7m want to come out of that and what will president putin mont? it would be quite a small meeting, mbc meeting —— nbc news is reporting
12:21 pm
there will be just six people in the room including translators which fills america's watching community with this made because donald trump does not seem to be able to hold the fa cts does not seem to be able to hold the facts in his head and rex tillerson is not an expert on wider relations, and you said mr trump was on the margins but mr putin very much on his best behaviour, he has gone from being the bad boy to maybe getting closer to the action. he seemed to be friends to be a manual macron of france and relations with russia we re france and relations with russia were chilly after the election because of the french belief that russia metalled in the elections. because of the french belief that russia metalled in the electionsm terms of mr putin, what will he be looking for? in a way he's a of his
12:22 pm
own success, after having metalled so publicly in the american political system, there are plenty of things of which russia could talk and reach agreement, anything mr trump backs down on four shows goodwill on will run into immediate problems with the democrats in congress and hawkish republicans who are worried about his past pronouncements on russia, so i think a symbolic success of both men but i'm not expecting anything practical. i'm not sure if we can hear anything. they are just about to speak. let's listen to angela merkel. she speaks german. angela merkel just
12:23 pm
angela merkeljust well coming eve ryo ne angela merkeljust well coming everyone at the moment, we don't have a translation for you at the moment, unless, that would commit speak german? i do. she was saying the symbol of the summit is that brief you saw on the screen, the reef knot, the more tension and pressure you apply to it, the stronger the knot becomes and she thinks that was a symbol for the way it responds to the pressure it faces and ina it responds to the pressure it faces and in a way it is the antithesis of mr trump's protectionist worldview,
12:24 pm
hamburg is germany's gateway to the world and has been for centuries. he wa nts to world and has been for centuries. he wants to come and say to his domestic audience that he is making a big success of this meeting or do you think she could be sidelined? let me come back to the question in a minute because we have a translation. good working basis here, soi translation. good working basis here, so i would like to also welcome our partner countries, we have worked together with norway, singapore, we work together with ginny, the chair of the aeu, all of you are our welcome guests here and thank you also for the contributions you have made already to making this meeting a success. we're all
12:25 pm
familiar with the global challenges. we all know that time is of the essence and is pressing, so solutions can only be found if we are ready to strike a compromise, if we accommodate each other's views or without bending over backwards too much and giving up our principles. we can clearly also say we differ from we represent about two thirds of the global population, for threats of global gdp and three quarters of global trade, so anyone who is not at the table today is justified in expecting us to do a good job. we're trying to put together a good agenda on global trade and growth but also on time of change, energy policy, germany has
12:26 pm
set a particular priority on africa because we as europeans, we consider africa as our neighbouring continent and think we have to do everything to bring this continent for. health will play a central role. all these issues will be debated and a central role of women, who far too often do not enjoy equal rights, have a difficult and in many cases bear the brunt of family work and looking after young people. thank you all for coming. i will not ask members of the press to leave us so we may staff are serious work and then later on we start with global growth and global change —— trade. this is the core competence of the 620 group of nations. so global growth and trade, angela merkel mentioning as
12:27 pm
the first order of business but that will follow on from these general words of welcome she has just given to the leaders gathered in hamburg but we know climate change and specifically the paris climate agreement has been made a priority by her personally for these, so interesting to see how america comes out of the g20 given that donald trump has pulled america out of the paris climate deal. much more on the 620 through the day but right now let's ta ke 620 through the day but right now let's take a look at the weather forecast, over to the balcony to join sarah. we have more hot sunshine, quite a humid day especially in the south but not quite as hot as yesterday and we have lost that risk of big showers, so an north—west — south—east split, across the north west have we have more cloud, some outbreaks of rain across scotland and into northern
12:28 pm
ireland, further south and east its dry with spells of sunshine. we have this area of cloud moving south through the afternoon so we could see a few light drizzly showers through wales, the midlands, northern england and eastern scotland. to the south, 28 degrees in the sunshine but things are fresher further north west. this evening we will see that cloud moving further south, so cloudy in wales and the south—west and that will stick around tomorrow so western pa rt will stick around tomorrow so western part stay cloudy, further north a brighter day for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, and sunshine reappearing in the south—east. temperatures tomorrow will not be as hot or humid as today with ties between 17 and 24 degrees. this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines: world leaders are meeting at the g20 summit in germany. it's the first face to face meeting for us president donald trump and the russian president
12:29 pm
vladimir putin. the pair will hold talks later today. earlier, water cannons were used by the german police to control rioters and anti—capitalist protesters who have clashed with police. an 81—year—old former religious teacher has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for sexual offences against children. mohammed sadiq was found guilty of six counts of indecent assault and eight counts of sexual assault against four young girls between 1996—2006. the judge leading the grenfell tower public inquiry has faced angry questions from survivors at last night's public meeting. some residents have expressed concern the scope of the inquiry is too narrow. a former teacher at a mosque, who abused young girls there, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison. mohammed haji sadiq, who's 81, was found guilty at an earlier
12:30 pm
hearing of assaulting four girls. the court heard he carried out the abuse while teaching children about the koran. our wales correspondent sian lloyd reports on the background to this case. hiding his face from the cameras, mohammed haji sadiq's past has caught up with him. the 81—year—old had been a religious teacher or 30 yea rs. had been a religious teacher or 30 years. he was respected in his local community, but he abused his position of trust, and sexually assaulted four young girls. the abuse took place inside this mosque in cardiff, whilst he was teaching the koran. now in her 20s, this young woman dreaded going to the mosque, knowing he would single her out. we are protecting her and anonymity and the words are being re—voice. anonymity and the words are being re-voice. he would call outlining, call me to sit next to him, it would be to read the koran. i do think he
12:31 pm
paid any attention to what i was reading. if you minutes in, he would reaching, touching under my clothes. that would last for as long as he felt, i suppose. that would last for as long as he felt, isuppose. it that would last for as long as he felt, i suppose. it feels like it lasted forever. she wasn't his only victim, a court heard that two complaints were made against him in 2006. he was arrested and questioned, but no further action was taken against him following co nso na nts was taken against him following consonants by the young victim's pa rents consonants by the young victim's parents about how the girls be affected. now adults, these two young women did give evidence against them. mohammed haji sadiq stopped teaching at the mosque after his initial arrest. the court heard he frequently used physical punishment if children made mistakes during their readings. but for the victims in this case, the suffering was even worse. did you feel you could tell anybody
12:32 pm
about what he was doing to you? not really. you don't really know who to turn to. scared to tell my parents because i don't know what their reactions are going to be, and culturally, it is hard to even talk about these things. it's a response recognised by people like shereen williams who help support victims in the muslim community.” williams who help support victims in the muslim community. i think these victims are incredibly brave. i don't think if you are not from the community, you have no idea how much it has taken for them to actually come out and make a report, and go through with all of this. it is about finding the courage to say you are a victim will stop but actual, the possibility that you might be ostracised and not believed. they have had to overcome a lot to come this far and stick to it all the way to the end. mohammed sadiq claimed he was the victim of a conspiracy that opponents within the mosque had
12:33 pm
neglected the young women to tell lies against him. the police believe there could be more victims, and are urging anyone with information to come forward. tomas morgan is at cardiff crown court. he was a man that used his position asa he was a man that used his position as a trusted formally trusted member of the community to abuse these young goals, what reaction has there been to the case? that's exactly how thejudge described it been to the case? that's exactly how the judge described it today in cardiff crown court. we have had reaction from the police and the cps. the cps saying that these women that have spoken out have shown remarkable courage in coming forward , remarkable courage in coming forward, as mohammed sadiq what such a respected figure in the communes he and had considerable influence and power. the chief inspector rock roenick saying mohammed sadiq had abused his position of trust within the community. both referencing the
12:34 pm
influence he had in his area of cardiff, and it was harrowing, actually, the victim impact state m e nts actually, the victim impact statements that were read out in court, one victim saying she had attempted to take her own life because of the abuse she had suffered. another saying she and others felt they couldn't tell anyone about what had happened because of the culture they had grown up in. earlier, we heard from amanda morris from the muslim council that read out a statement on the half of the mosque in cardiff. mohammed sadiq 's the half of the mosque in cardiff. mohammed sadiq '5 been sentenced for historical sexual abuse. we applaud the bravery and courage of the young women, who now as adults, pursued the case and justice. he was not an ordinary man, but a teacher at the mosque. all mosques in wales have child protection policies now in place. teachers and volunteers alike are vetted and closely monitored. the muslim council of wales
12:35 pm
regularly hosts training for mosques and management. this case has highlighted the importance of this training, and we are working with the widest range of partners to ensure that mosques are safe and secure places for all. unfortunately, numerous cases in re ce nt unfortunately, numerous cases in recent history have shown how those in positions of power, whether celebrity, religious or otherwise, have often exploited that power to abuse most vulnerable in our society. the muslim council of wales is open to work with all partners from all sectors in society to ensure that such things never happen again. thank you. the muslim council of wales highlighting that those in positions of power, notjust muslim teachers, but anyone across the community, people have been accused and have been sentenced for similar crimes in recent times, really. again in court today, the court heard that mohammed sadiq took advantage of his position. what he was alleged to have done, what he
12:36 pm
has been sentenced to have done is that he would get the girls to read out the koran next door to him. and when they made a mistake, he would either strike them as punishment, or touch them inappropriately. sentencing judge stephen hopkins qc said that mohammed sadiq was a man, of some cunning. he was found guilty of some cunning. he was found guilty of 14 child sexual offences on the 15thjune, of 14 child sexual offences on the 15th june, just last month. of 14 child sexual offences on the 15thjune, just last month. today, he has been sentenced to 13 years and will be a registered sex offenderfor and will be a registered sex offender for life. thank you very much. more now on the g20 summit in hamburg, which is is getting underway amid tight security. climate change is one of the topics expected to dominate discussions. the prime minister, theresa may said she expressed a hope that the us would rejoin the paris agreement on climate change. joining me from hamburg is robert wright, political correspondent for the financial times. good to talk to you this afternoon.
12:37 pm
it struck me as i looked at that family photo being taken that here we we re family photo being taken that here we were looking at the representatives of countries which, to perhaps many of view as i is, are at loggerheads more than at any other time in recent history, some real into play between competing forces there. does that mean that we are going to see very little progress or agreement coming out of the summit? i think at the moment, we are at an early stage of the summit. as you say, we have seen the family photo taken. we have seen an opening address from angela merkel, the german chancellor. a lot of bilateral meetings is where were all get done, and that will be tomorrow. we don't know at this stage what will come out of it, but as you said in your instruction, the key thing here is you have got an awful lot of
12:38 pm
people who are at loggerheads, who really are competing interests. resident trumpism for the first time ata resident trumpism for the first time at a 620. we have president xi of china, with powerful interests to defend. and theresa may, reeling from a setback in the general election, and in some ways trying to rebuild her reputation at home through being seen on the world stage. i think it is difficult to tell how those competing interests are going to reconcile themselves and come out with a meaningful communique about 24 hours from now. on the subject of climate change, which angela merkel has made a priority for this summit, what do you think is going to happen? there is some controversy already about speculation over the wording of a potential communique being watered
12:39 pm
down in relation to president come. it is hard to see president trump signing up to something that goes back to full participation in the paris climate agreement, given that last month people out of it. that is a key building block. sorry to interrupt, but are the other parties ina mood interrupt, but are the other parties in a mood to show that deference to president trump on climate change? certainly from the point of view of theresa may, whose actions i've been following most closely, she seems to have been trying to make the point that she wants him to participate in things again. but she feels it is perhaps not worth antagonising him. that will not get her anywhere. it is hard to see something terribly conclusive coming out about that, i think. north korea, of course, another big topic on the agenda. from russia's perspective, do you think we will see president putin give any ground on that? again, it
12:40 pm
is hard at the moment to read what they are going to do about some of these things. there are meetings with resident xi. theresa may has said she will bring up north korea with him, and try to get him to do something more forceful about it. but at the moment, it is not clear what influence russia and china still have over north korea, and what level ridge they are prepared to use. that is an open question at this point. moving away from that detail, what do you think the big players there will be trying to create in terms of the overall mood music coming from the summit? and what their audience is at home and abroad, what will they see them achieving or not achieving for donald trump it is a big moment, but as an earlier commentator was saying, president putin has arrived, trying to present himself not as the bad boy of the gathering.” trying to present himself not as the
12:41 pm
bad boy of the gathering. i think one of the things that is striking so far is how much people are playing to their domestic audience, and i'm sure that president trump will be doing that, trying to look tough on some of these issues. he will try to toughen his bilateral meeting with mr putin. similarly, theresa may, as i said earlier, will be trying to strike a figure on the world stage that perhaps she hasn't been, rather looking diminished in domestic politics. president erdogan also has, it was a year ago that he faced a potential coup at home. he will be trying to look as if he has friends on the world stage in a way that he perhaps has over the last year. mental health services in england are being overwhelmed by a combination of rising demand and staff shortages — according to a survey by nhs providers. there are also concerns that
12:42 pm
extra government money, designed to improve access for patients needing help, is failing to reach front line services. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. two years ago alice victor was struggling with an eating disorder, but her gp told her it would take at least a year before she was referred for nhs treatment. in the end, alice went private, but thinking back, she remembers that wait as a dangerous time. it takes so much to come out and say i need help and i need professional help, and then to not get it is horrible. and having to wait longer and longer, you get stuck in the same unhealthy thought patterns and your mental illness takes over. a survey of bosses at mental health trusts across england paints a picture of services under pressure. 70% expect demand to increase this year. two out of three trusts say they don't have enough staff to cope, particularly mental health nurses and psychiatrists. and 80% say extra government money intended for mental health is not reaching front line services.
12:43 pm
we've seen many, many more campaigns up and down the country really talking about breaking down the stigma of presenting for mental health treatment, but that means that demand is going through the roof. and i think we're at risk of mental health trusts being overwhelmed in the near future. the department of health in england said it expected nhs bosses to make sure an extra billion pounds each year reached front line mental health services by 2021. meanwhile, a bbc radio 5 live investigation has found a 16% rise in ambulance call—outs to people suffering from suspected mental health problems, adding to the signs the pressure is building across the system. iamjoined by i am joined by a child and adolescent psychiatrist. thank you
12:44 pm
for taking the time to talk to us. you are welcoming the report. you say it tells you a lot of what people in mental health services already know, but that must also be frustrating. you know these things, you want to get onto putting them right, presumably? well, very much so. at the more people we have saying these things, the better. this report tells us many things that we know already. the nhs is at breaking point, and we know there has been under investment in mental health services for many years. we know as well that despite the government saying the right thing and producing reports that often the money that is promised doesn't get through. let's talk about that specific point. that was raised. the money promised wasn't getting through to those front line services. you have proof and evidence of this, i assume?” services. you have proof and evidence of this, i assume? i worked asa evidence of this, i assume? i worked as a child and adolescent psychiatrist, so some of the work that i and my colleagues do will be
12:45 pm
funded by the nhs, and by councils. just take one example, we have sometimes seen the government, through the nhs, giving more money. but on the back of that, local councils have ta ken but on the back of that, local councils have taken money away from the sort of services that i work in. one hand is given, the other is taking away. the net result is you are no further forward taking away. the net result is you are no furtherforward in having more money to provide more services? yes, exactly. we have asian about what we would like to do additionally the children and young people —— a vision. the vision of providing an excellent service is dashed by the reality on the ground. it sounds like a lack ofjoined up thinking if one hand is thinking and the other is taking away. what are you trying to do to address that issue and get the money flowing through to the front line services? one of the things that my colleagues are doing is getting the message out
12:46 pm
there that there needs to be a clear accountability. there needs to be an audit of what happens to the money thatis audit of what happens to the money that is promised. it may be that in some parts of the nhs, with a crisis that there is more generally within the nhs, people are simply desperate to find money, rather than look at what the money should be used for. so you are going to keep pushing on to try to get that money into the service? thank you for taking the time to talk to us, thank you, gary wannan. we have some picturesjust we have some pictures just coming into us from hamburg, i am told, of putin and trump. that much talked about handshake between the two men. all smiles for the camera. they are going to hold a meeting later today. but of course, people reading into
12:47 pm
the body language of these meetings and photographs taking place at the 620, not least this one between the two men. a backslapping president trump. and of course, all this as an investigation continues in the united states into alleged russian interference in the us presidential election. fascinating to see that. the seniorjudge who will lead the grenfell tower public inquiry has faced angry questions from some of the survivors of the fire and local residents, at a public meeting last night. sir martin moore—bick has been accused of ignoring calls for him to consider the social issues which affect public housing. at the meeting he rejected claims he was appointed to do a ‘hatchetjob'. i can't do more than assure you that i know what it is to be impartial, you saw there, i was giving
12:48 pm
sir martin moore—bick my opinion. i met him last week and i felt that he came out and immediately spoke to the media and was quite dismissive of our calls for a wide enquiry than what he sees as itjust being about, you know? we don't want this reduced to being a mere debate about cladding, because the issues are far wider than that. now — if you've flown long haul over the past 40 years, chances are you've been on a boeing 747 — best known as thejumbojet. it revolutionised air
12:49 pm
travel around the world, making it possible to fly further and for less money. but could the era of big jets be coming to an end? our transport correspondent, richard westcott reports. newsreel: out of the biggest hangar in the world came the world's biggest plane. it's the giant aeroplane that shrank the world — two and a half times bigger than anything else at the time. with its iconic hump, boeing's 747 brought cheap flying to the masses. it nearly bankrupted the company, but ended up saving it. newsreel: even as a toy, the 747 makes a formidable armful. this is the aeroplane that gave wings to the world. because of its size, because of its range, and its economy. it made it possible for the airlines to fly economically anywhere in the world. but 50 years on, airlines prefer smaller, more fuel—efficient planes, and boeing says it may finally stop making the jumbo jet. but after all that hard work and all those miles, this is where 747s come
12:50 pm
for a quiet retirement. in less than a day, an entirejumbo jet has been reduced to that pile of rubble there. they are just smashing up the last piece of fuselage, and all that aluminium will be taken off and turned into beer cans. some of these seats are going back to the airline, but others have been bought by private collectors, who will turn them into quirky office furniture. i can't get the films working, though. they've slightly different plans for this jumbo jet. a very rich person has bought the top half of it and apparently they're going to turn it into some kind of social area, or come—office. and if we actually go into the cockpit, you've got all the controls, and apparently lots of enthusiasts
12:51 pm
from all over the world buy this kind of stuff. 1970, and the very first 747 lands in britain. london's heathrow airport took the arrival of the world's first jumbo jet with surprising ease. it made a big impression on one ogling fan that day. there was a huge thing in the press about this first aeroplane coming in across the atlantic, pan am, and so i had to go and see it. it was a big cuddly aeroplane, it did its best to look after you. it goes for miles, it never runs out of fuel, never comes close to running out, the systems on it, the 400 series, which is the last one, they were modern systems — a digital aeroplane, everything worked. what more could a pilot want? the jumbo isn't the only giant plane struggling for orders at the moment. archrivals airbus make the even bigger a380, but sales have been poor and they have also
12:52 pm
slashed production. but the jumbo isn't finished yet. that hump is there for a reason — the nose comes up to carry freight. it might carry fewer passengers in future, but jumbos full of goods will be filling the skies for years to come. david dimbleby is used to dealing with difficult situations as the host of question time but he was left a little red—faced last night when the alarm on his mobile phone interrupted the programme to tell him it was time to bed. the audience started laughing as dimbleby looked at his phone and turned the alarm off.
12:53 pm
let's take a look . they won't know what to argue about at theirdinner they won't know what to argue about at their dinner parties. the fact is, brexit, whether you voted to leave all remain, it was not a win or lose situation, we had a fork in the road and we opted for one fork. alarm it is time for bed! applause this is my stopwatch saying it is bedtime. carry on! even david dimbleby needs his sleep. let's have a look at the weather forecast. more in the way of warm sunshine across many parts of the country but we have more cloud around compared to yesterday. this was the scene in guernsey, glorious blue sky there. click conditions across many
12:54 pm
southern and eastern parts of the uk. more cloud further north. a second picture comes from derbyshire, where we have cloudy skies. there will be the odd spot of light rain coming through in the afternoon. generally, a north and south split to the weather through the course of the day. the cloud in the course of the day. the cloud in the north will drift further south into the afternoon. they few spots of rain across the east of scotland through parts of northern england, into the midlands and north wales, too. there should be sunshine holding on across devon and cornwall, temperatures in the mid—20s. warm and bright to the south—east, 28 or 29 in the london region, feeling quite humid with a light breeze. northwards through wales and the midlands, if you like sours. “— wales and the midlands, if you like sours. —— showers. we will keep a few spots of showery rain through aberdeenshire, angus and across the north—east of england, too. this evening, a week weather front in the north continuing to drift further

12:56 pm
around 15—26. goodbye for now. face to face for the first time — donald trump and president putin meet ahead of their much anticipated sit down in hamburg. the hand—sha ke comes the hand—shake comes at the start of the 620 the hand—shake comes at the start of the g20 summit of the world's major economies. with issues such as climate change on the agenda protests have seen german police out again in force. we're live in hamburg for the latest. also this lunchtime. ifi if i can't satisfy you as you have a preconception of me as a person... if i can't satisfy you as you have a preconception of me as a person... some grenfell tower residents say they still lack confidence in the man appointed to lead the inquiry into the disaster. the parents of the terminally ill baby charlie gard have said he's not in pain and international attempts to intervene in his case have revived their hopes.
