today's reviewers are broadcaster and journalist shyama perera, and the political commentator vincent moss. good morning and welcome to bbc news. the number of mobile phones and drugs smuggled into prisons is "unacceptable" according to the government. more than 20,000 phones and sim cards and over 200kg of narcotics were found injails in england and wales last year. the seizures follow a £2 million investment in technology to detect contra band, as james waterhouse reports. many will say this continuing trend of contraband being smuggled into jails through whatever means possible only highlights the scale of the challenge facing prison officers, who've had to deal with staff cuts and growing violence over recent years. just in april, a european watchdog warned that incidents in ukjails were spiralling out of control,

making them unsafe for both prisoners and staff. the latest ministry ofjustice figures say there are 86,000 inmates in england and wales. 7000 mobile sim cards were also found in 2016, along with 13,000 mobile phones. they're a valuable resource behind bars, too, sometimes being rented out for up to £1000. along with the seizure of 200kg of illegal drugs last year, it's the scale of the problems that forces the government to act once more. the trade builds on a very, very strong market, and although this is good news and it is good that these measures are being taken, the next step for the government is to ask why demand drugs and phones is so high in prisons. this £2 million investment in equipment brought into every prison can detect phones. 300 dogs have also been

trained to find drugs. ministers acknowledge they can't stop there, though. the government has recently had a recruitment drive, saying it is on track to bring in 2500 more officers by 2018. we can now speak to dave todd from the prison 0fficers‘ association. i suppose the first question a lot of people will say to themselves, it seems crazy that so much of this stuff ca n seems crazy that so much of this stuff can get into present at all. please tell us how it is possible? it is possible in a lot of different ways, you can have trafficking routes, either thrown over the wall, through visits, through drones, drones ra problem, they are not detectable, the first time you know when they are there is when you hear them and this is often done at night time when you have a skeleton staffing figure on. what do you think can be done about it? the government talking about more prison officers, presumably that is one route but from what you said this is

a very big problem? it is absolutely massive in alljails across the country. what can be done at the minute, i don't understand why government is not willing to block the signal which would bring things like a drone down, blocked com pletely like a drone down, blocked completely mobile telephones, rather than detect. if you haven't got the staff to go and retrieve, what is the point of detection? you are talking about blogging thing is alec co naty talking about blogging thing is alec conaty but presumably that is not terribly easy because the prison itself, the staff and people who run it, need to be in touch with the outside world, don't they? that is quite a big thing you are not allowed imprisoned so to block mobile phone signals, you can make it so it does not affect the community outside. mobile phones are illegal in prison. from your knowledge of what goes on in prison, particularly phones are quite

tradable, people read them to each other for tradable, people read them to each otherfor some tradable, people read them to each other for some rather large sums of money? how does that work? absolutely, it is to further criminality, some people are making more money inside the walls than they would outside the walls. where do people get the money inside to pay the sum is, how does that work? u nfortu nately pay the sum is, how does that work? unfortunately that is when it goes outside the wall and families get involved making payment for the phones. you are talking about various things that should be done, the blocking of signals and so one. recruitment of more staff, do you think the numbers we have heard about are adequate? no, not at all. if you backtrack to around 2012, 2014, there was a failed concept called benchmarking which took around 8000 prison office is out of the system of varying experience. there were voluntary early redundancy packages offered to those staff with experience. the

government figures of 2500 are welcomed by my union, however in real terms, and this is admitted by hm pps, they need to recruit 4000 this year and 4000 next year to get back to what they got rid of. thank you very much indeed. the parents of charlie gard are expected to join supporters to deliver a petition to great 0rmond street hospital in london calling on doctors to allow the terminally ill baby to travel for experimental treatment. the petition has been signed by more than 350,000 people. the 11—month—old boy's case is due to return to the high court tomorrow after the hospital said it had seen claims of new evidence relating to a potential therapy. 0ur correspondentjohn mcmanus is outside great 0rmond street hospital for us. this sounds like a very important development today? that's right, roundabout 2pm this

afternoon ‘s supporters of charlie gard and his parents will arrive here at great 0rmond street hospital in central london with that petition signed by more than 350,000 people, and that is calling on the doctors in the hospital behind us to allow charlie to be taken out of the hospital and out of the country abroad by his parents where he can ta ke abroad by his parents where he can take part in some experimental treatment. that is something the hospital has resisted so far. charlie unfortunately it 11—month—old has spent quite a lot of his life so far inside this hospital, he has a genetic condition which causes him to be unable to breathe on his own, he is currently ona breathe on his own, he is currently on a respirator, you cannot move and there are some reports he cannot even cry. the hospital went to the high court in april, the high court granted doctors and order allowing them to switch off the life—support system. charlie's parents have fought the order through the courts, write to the supreme court, but they have been unsuccessful, and all

along the hospital, great 0rmond street, has said their actions are in the best interests of charlie. now they say they have received new information from medical researchers at two separate hospitals abroad talking about a new experimental treatment which may help charlie. his parents want to take a chance on that and they would like to take him out of the country but the current high court order which the hospital gained a few months ago means that the child cannot be moved at all. so the child cannot be moved at all. so the session that is going to happen tomorrow at the high court in central london has been bought by the hospital itself, it wants the high courtjudges to assess the new evidence of the suppose it possible new treatment and decide if it might be in the best interests for charlie to be moved. but the hospital itself still says it does not believe the treatment will help him in any way or help his quality of life, but they would like the

judges to make a decision about that. the petition is delivered here at about 2pm this afternoon, we expect charlie's parents to join supporters when the petition arrives. they say they have been given hope by the mass outpouring of support by members of the public and prominent characters that pope francis and president donald trump who have aligned themselves with the pa rents. who have aligned themselves with the parents. they say whatever happens, the fight here goes on for charlie. thank you very much. anti—capitalist protesters clashed with german police for a third night in hamburg, as the g20 summit there came to a close. police used water cannon and tear gas after some vehicles we set on fire. at the summit itself, climate change and trade deals were among the main points of discussion for world leaders. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake is here to tell us more. first of all, the protesters, it was all very noisy and so on but actually solid things were done a p pa re ntly actually solid things were done apparently at the summit itself? yes, it is always difficult with 19 countries plus the european union getting together to agree on anything is going to be tricky, and

the closing statements but out on behalf of all the countries at the 620 behalf of all the countries at the g20 were suitably vague and bland and we are hearing about a lot of disagreement and poring over the detail of those in the closing hours of the summit. what sticks out is donald trump sticking to his guns and confirming that the us will not be a pa rt confirming that the us will not be a part of the paris agreement on climate change. but perhaps the meat of the summit came from the bilateral meetings between president donald trump and vladimir putin, a huge amount of interest and analysis on what those two had to say afterwards, and also between donald trump and theresa may. theresa may is making a lot of donald trump's comments that there is a willingness to do comments that there is a willingness todoa comments that there is a willingness to do a trade deal with the uk post brexit very, very quickly, as mr trump put it. the prospect of giving a trade deal very, very quickly will be difficult because they are hugely complicated affairs even with two countries who are keen to get it

done as soon as possible, and they can't really start talking about it in detail under the rules of the european union until the uk have left, so we are talking about march 2019 and beyond. so whilst the summit in hamburg began with a violence on the streets and disagreement, it ended with more violent and perhaps a little bit more disagreement. thank you very much indeed. iraqi state television is reporting that government forces are on the verge of retaking the city of mosul. it was seized by so—called islamic state more than three years ago. but after nine months of intense fighting, iraqi soldiers have been celebrating on the streets, despite no official word of a victory. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale has more. it's been the fight of their lives. their battle to retake mosul from the group calling itself islamic state started in october last year. they've lost many comrades along the way. but today the iraqi security forces were firing their weapons in celebration, claiming victory over their enemy. translation: this joy has been

achieved by the sacrifices of our martyrs and the blood of our wounded heroes. god willing, may happiness prevail in iraq. after nearly nine months of brutal street—to—street fighting, these iraqi security forces now believe they have defeated is in a city that was once their stronghold. but there are still pockets of resistance, the occasional sound of gunfire. but look everywhere around you and you'll see that pretty much every building has been damaged or destroyed. if this is victory, it's come at a cost. no—one yet knows how many civilians have lost their lives in the city. it's still a fight for survival. translation: hunger, thirst, fear and aerial bombardment. we lived in a cellar. look at this. our house was destroyed on top of us. the extremists' reign of terror in mosul may be coming to an end.

but they're by no means finished in iraq. a wealthy businessman has submitted alternative plans for a third runway at heathrow, which he says would save more than £5 billion. the hotel tycoon, surinder arora, suggests changing the design of terminal buildings and reducing the amount of land built needed. a spokesperson for the airport said they would "welcome views" on the plans. we can speak to mr arora now via webcam. isn't it a bit unusual, we have got a huge airport here, is huge argument about another runway, and you arrive out of the blue for most of us to suggest a new runway. what is your idea? good morning. it is actually not just is your idea? good morning. it is actually notjust coming out of the blue, i have spent all my life around the airport ever since i have

been here, for 45 years, and i think being the 21st—century it is good to have competition, rather than just assuming it is there at the airport, and we live in a world where heathrow is not just and we live in a world where heathrow is notjust the busiest but the most expensive airport in the world from the airlines and passengers' point of view. what are your proposals? how do they differ from the existing ones? well, our proposals differ big time in a sense that we have taken more input and feedback and working with the airlines because we see the airlines as part of the team, as the customers of the airport, and asking them what works for them, so we actually made the terminal buildings and the taxiways a lot more efficient, we are taking 23% less land than previously recommended,

and not having the transit system north of the efficient from a passenger perspective and all of that will come to huge savings, making the buildings more efficient, not using the transit system, using 23% less land, that cannot be bad news. the transit system, using 23% less land, that cannot be bad newslj think one of the big issues has a lwa ys think one of the big issues has always been that the motorway, the m25 motorway, the busiest in the country, would have to be closed or severely disrupted. your plan, i think, avoid that. how can you do that? heathrow have been working on these plans the years. we have got a world leading expert in infrastructure projects who work around the world on different

infrastructure projects, and working with them we have come up with a scheme that was put forward to the commission of a 3500 metre runway over the m25. some of the things we started asking and questioning, saying, firstly, why do we need a 3500 metre runway, and, to my surprise, none of the airlines were ever consulted on the length of the ru nway ever consulted on the length of the runway 01’ ever consulted on the length of the runway or the location of the runway, so if we look at airports such as manchester and birmingham, which do take the wide aircraft and the a three 80s, why can't we do that? our plans, we have done work with those advisers and the airlines, are at an early stage, but we do feel we can have further efficiencies and savings on these plans by working with our partners. and do you think that you are the man 01’ you and do you think that you are the man or you have the organisation to

do thejob? man or you have the organisation to do the job? is that why you are so interested ? do the job? is that why you are so interested? well, i've always been one of the folks living in the real world, but i'm not an expert at everything, it's going back to the late 90s when i had never run a four 01’ late 90s when i had never run a four or 5—star hotel and i said, i won't be doing it all myself, i will make sure i have the best team around me to deliver the project. the dream i've always had in any business, even building ourfirst hotel, was, can we build a four star hotel with 5—star service at 3.5—star prices? we cannot continue being the most expensive in the world otherwise no one will benefit from that, including heathrow airport. mr arora, thank you forjoining us. it is 9:18am. the headlines on bbc news: hundreds of kilograms of drugs and mobile

phones were found in present in england and wales last year. the government has described the situation as an acceptable. anti—capitalist protesters have clashed with german police for a third night in hamburg as the g20 summit there drew to a close. the parents of charlie gard are calling on doctors to allow the terminally baby to travel to america for experimental treatment. electrical storms in canada have been blamed for starting scores of wildfires burning across british columbia. a state of emergency has been declared, with thousands of homes being evacuated and hundreds of kilometres of land scorched. georgina smythe reports. columns of smoke black out the sky as wildfires rage across western canada. about 2000 firefighters are on the ground attending over 180 fires believed to have been started by lightning strikes. local media

said 7000 people have been forced to abandon their homes and animals for evacuation centres. it was very emotional driving away and the the fla mes emotional driving away and the the flames and the smoke, and the whole villages surrounded by fires. they have no connection to a subtle but they are here and we are trying to support everybody. we ask everyone to be patient, it takes a long time to be patient, it takes a long time to register people and we are trying to register people and we are trying to help as best we can. it is the worst wildfire emergency the country has seen in 14 years and there are fears the raging fires could join together. pretty close, iwould fears the raging fires could join together. pretty close, i would get. they were hitting the town, i could see that from the house, which was definitely a sign we had stayed too long. about 300, 400 metres away. i think i still smell like smoke. long. about 300, 400 metres away. i think i still smell like smokem

was getting close. air tankers are dropping water in an attempt to contain the blaze but hot, dry and windy conditions are expected to continue for several days, hampering the efforts of firefighters. in california a record—breaking heatwave has left fires raging across the state. more than 2000 firefighters are attempting to contain more than 20 fires. rainfall in the winter and spring spurred the growth of dense vegetation that has now dried out and become a tinder box in the heat. researchers in leeds say that potentially harmful chemicals used to waterproof raincoats, rucksacks and widely—used outdoor gear are unnecessary and a source of environmental pollution. fluorochemicals are one of the most common treatments used to waterproof items. scientists say new coatings being developed are more environmentally—friendly. 0ur science reporter victoria gill has more. the great british summer. but with british weather,

the chances are it will not be long before you're reaching for your raincoat. an unlikely source of pollution. one of the most common treatments used to make ourjackets waterproof, fluorochemicals, can pollute the environment. the problem with fluorochemicals is that they're persistent. they stick around for a really long time, they don't break down and could last for hundreds of years. that's why the scientists are testing new and more environmentally—friendly waterproof coatings using indoor rain. this is the rain room at leeds university and apparently it is set to a manchester drizzle. this is a mannequin wearing a raincoat to be tested so she can just switch on the rain... and, yeah, that is a pretty accurate artificial manchester drizzle. i'm going to leave.

the team used industry—standard tests to see how waterproof fabric stood up to everything from drizzle to a simulated downpour. new repellent coatings that are not based on fluorochemicals are just as good as fluorochemical water repellents. the fluorochemicals are unnecessary. new non—fluorochemical coatings are still being developed but the researchers now hope the industry will start to roll them out to protect us from the elements without damaging the environment. the church of england will vote today on whether to allow special services for transgender people following their transition. at the synod's annual meeting in york, prominent figures will address calls for the church to update its attitudes towards sexuality. it's been a very slow process of a cce pta nce it's been a very slow process of acceptance until now. there is still acceptance until now. there is still a lot of discrimination in the church, and people do talk of the

institutional homophobia which exists in so many levels. but what we've seen yesterday is a remarkable change from that, with people asserting from the floor that people are not better or worse for being 93v are not better or worse for being gay 01’ are not better or worse for being gay or straight, that they are all equal in the sight of blood. reverend chris newton. the lake district will find out today whether it will be given unesco world heritage status. if successful, it would become the uk's 31st such site, as caroline rigby reports. from the great barrier reef to the taj mahal and the grand canyon, they're some of the most recognisable sights in the world. soon, the lake district could be a member of their prestigious club. later today, delegates from unesco will announce whether they deem the region irreplaceable and inspiring enough to be protected under world heritage status. it would be lovely if it did. it would be very nice if it was voted one of the top places in the world to see. i've been coming here for over 40 years. it's changed a lot.

it's popular but there are so many beautiful things here that need to be recognised and protected. with its towering peaks and glistening waters, the national park currently attracts around 18 million tourists a year, who contribute over £1 billion to the local economy. but critics worry attaining world heritage status could see even more visitors descend on the region, putting extra pressure on the landscape. 0thers argue it would mean greater funding and investment. a world heritage site, it would really demonstrate the changing landscape, because it's not natural, that's shaped by people, farming practices, poets, they've all talked about this landscape and people come to see it. it will draw new customers and new visitors who've never heard of the lake district. it is a tick of the box to visit a world heritage site. poet william wordsworth once described the lakes as the loveliest spot known to man. but will unesco agree? if successful, it would become

the uk's 31st world heritage site, joining places like hadrian's wall and stonehenge, and the houses of parliament. it was one of the worst naval tragedies of the first world war. today, a ceremony will be held to remember the 843 men who lost their lives when hms vanguard sank off 0rkney injuly 1917. to mark the centenary of the disaster, a team of divers has been given special permission to document the wreck. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon has more. in the cold northern waters of scapa flow, the final resting place of hms vanguard, a dreadnought battleship from world war i. the bow and stern almost entirely intact after 100 years under the water. this the first group of civilian divers to be given permission to document the wreck since it was designated a war grave. i think the loss of life was never very far away from my mind as we're diving on the ship. that said, we had a job to do, and an obligation to do thatjob to the best of our ability.

so you got on with the work but, yes, parts of the wreck are very emotional. very emotional indeed. newsreel: ships steaming into their war base at scapa flow... along with many other ships of the royal navy, vanguard had been anchored in the seas off 0rkney. she'd seen action at the battle ofjutland, but on a summer evening injuly 1917, the entire ship was destroyed after a magazine exploded. she sank almost instantly, with the loss of almost all her crew. 843 men died. only two of those on board at the time survived. the team of volunteer divers spent hundreds of hours surveying the wreck, piecing together its story. lying at a depth of around 100 feet, and among the many artefacts discovered, the telegraph,

an anchor, cutlery lying half buried in the sand. as part of the commemorations, the sign was recently replaced by divers. a century on, honouring the many lives lost in what was a catastrophic accident. 60 years since it took its first spin, more than 1000 fiat 500 enthusiasts have driven across europe to attend a rally in italy. the event saw hundreds of the original models parade through the town of garlenda, where the ownership club has its headquarters. more than 6 million of the italian classics have been built. great little motors. what about the prospects for the weather over the next few days? let's get the details from helen willetts. shaping up to be another fine day

for england and wales for the most pa rt for england and wales for the most part but further north we have some rain around, not for all of scotland 01’ rain around, not for all of scotland or northern ireland but it will be cloudier than yesterday. we have had some rain already this morning on the weather front, this weather watcher pictures sent in from argyll and bute earlier, the rain still around. you can see the extent of the cloud across scotland and northern ireland, to the south of that's imposed on mist and fog and patchy fairweather cloud. to the north of the weather front it should bea north of the weather front it should be a brighter, drier day than yesterday, it is just as the weather front starts to add events it will p9p up front starts to add events it will pep up the rain into the afternoon. it will be warmer and brighter, drier to the north of the weather front apart from the odd shower, but from aberdeenshire through fife, the central lowlands across to northern ireland, there will be outbreaks of rain on and off, it will feel cool compared with yesterday. for england and wales, the coast will have refreshing sea breezes but we should see the cloud lifting near the coast, just the odd drizzly shower. it is more likely be heat we will see inland will trigger some late

afternoon downpours and thunderstorms. if you are heading to the test match as it continues at lord's, take some sun protection because it will be pretty hot and humid out there, as it will be for the anniversary games, humidity picked up again through the night and that is what will trigger those heavy bandwidth downpours. as well as that we could start to see storms across france moving across the english channel overnight to greet us tomorrow morning, not great to drive to work in. the weather front starting to push southwards over that, it turns cooler, fresher across the north of scotland, but for most of us a warm night and in the south and east body and oppressive night. potential for some storms around tomorrow for the drive to work potentially, and it will on the

whole be a more showery day tomorrow, the weather front breaking up tomorrow, the weather front breaking up into showers, there could be some heavy ones and downpours around but it does look brighter and drier for much of scotland and northern ireland, 17 or 18 in the sunshine, still some heat in the far south and east as we hang onto the humidity, but by the end of monday we have weather front advancing from the atlantic, we have cleared away the muqqy atlantic, we have cleared away the muggy airand atlantic, we have cleared away the muggy air and with low pressure we should all see some rain for the gardens but a more unsettled picture into next week.
