roe this is bbc news. i'm simon mccoy. the headlines at 3pm: a second round of talks in brussels on the uk's departure from the eu. the brexit secretary says it's time to get down to business. a big day for hsz. the final section of the route will be revealed this afternoon. a terminally ill man, who hopes to overturn the ban on assisted dying, is having his case heard at the high court. i do not want to die very slowly of suffocation and being semiconscious until i am in a position where, you know, i don't even know what is going on. the duke and duchess of cambridge have arrived in warsaw with prince george and princess charlotte for a five—day tour of poland and germany. and in the next hour, do you communicate using one of these? it's world emoji day, and to celebrate the popularity of the animated icons, we'll be looking at how they have changed the way we communicate.

good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the second round of formal talks on britain's departure from the eu got under way this morning in brussels. the brexit secretary david davis said it was time to get down to business, and that the priority was to decide the rights of british and eu citizens in each other‘s countries. the eu says there has to be substantial progress on this, and on a financial settlement, and the issue of the irish border, before talks on trade can start. meanwhile downing street has said the prime minister will remind colleagues of the need to keep cabinet discussions private, after a series of leaks over the weekend. adam fleming reports. they have been getting into position for weeks.

even months. finally, it is time to talk detail. and for now, they seem to be speaking each other‘s language. we will now delve into the heart of the matter. we need to examine and compare our respective positions, in order to make good progress. for us, it is incredibly important we make good progress. there will be negotiations, and we'll identify the differences so that we can deal with them, and identify the similarities so we can reinforce them, and now it is time to get down to work, and make this a successful negotiation. mr davis left soon afterwards, leaving much of that work to officials. this week, they will discuss the northern irish border, which will become an external frontier of the european union. then there is the so—called brexit bill. how to calculate what the uk owes for financial commitments made as a member. and citizens‘ rights — what will happen to eu nationals living in the uk and brits abroad?

that is what the foreign secretary emphasised at a meeting just around the corner. i am very pleased that negotiations are beginning, and, as you know, a very fair, serious offer has been put on the table by the uk government about citizenship, the value we place on the 3.2 million eu citizens in our country, the very good offer that we are making to them and the security they can have about their future, and i hope very much that people will look at that offer in the spirit it deserves. it is a great offer. questions about cabinet splits at home — they went unanswered. the unionjack has been taken down already, david davis is heading home. the really hard work is taking place behind closed doors. privately, eu officials think the uk is moving closer to their position when it comes to money.

there is still the big issue of whether the european court ofjustice has a say over the lives of eu citizens living in the uk after brexit. the european commission tweeted this picture. a not so subtle message. "we have done our homework, what are you bringing to the table?" live to westminster and our chief political correspondent vicki young. what he took the table, it didn't keep their very long because he's back here, now. the chief negotiators meet up at the beginning of the process this week then the officials get on the behind—the—scenes talks, then david davis will return later in the week and they will hope some progress has been made. at the moment all we are hearing about are the differences between those sides when it comes to the rights of eu citizens, for example, the eu and the commission very much want the european court of justice to be the arbitrator, to oversee any new rules that there

are. many in the uk parliament feel that the ecj should have no role once the uk has left the european union, so it is that kind of thing and there is also the brexit bill, the so—called divorce bill. how will that be settled? government has made it clear that the days of vast sums of money being sent to the eu will come to an end. it says that it will stick by its obligations, the obligations we had when we were members. all of these kinds of areas need to be compromised on, thought about carefully, before we even get onto the next stage, which is about what the future relationship will be. meanwhile, what on earth is going on in the cabinet? it appears that discipline has completely broken down. according to one newspaper report in the sunday times this weekend, no fewer than five cabinet minister kim out of the meeting last week and told them newspaper what had gone on, and much of it seems to be against philip hammond, the chancellor. brexit

these into this. he is someone who said he wants jobs and the economy to be the thing that the government looks at most minute things about brexit, rather than reducing immigration in any way. other sitting at the table don't agree with that. there are also divisions over public sector pay. philip hammond was said to have told collea g u es hammond was said to have told colleagues he felt public—sector workers were overpaid, when you took into account their generous pension schemes. many sitting around that table do not agree. the problem for theresa may is that she has been weakened because of that general election result. before tomorrow's cabinet meeting she will remind them that they are supposed to be having private conversations behind closed doors. we will have do see that works. never mind stabbing in the back, they seem to be doing it in front of her, and she can do little about it. pretty much everyone is staggering towards the summer recess which starts on thursday. many tory mps do not want to have a leadership contest. they feel it would lead to

a general election and they fear that the conservatives might not win that. others are looking ahead to the tory party conference in the autumn, saying that that could be a time when someone steps forward. but it is so uncertain at the moment. there is no one willing to predict what might happen. but theyjust wa nt to what might happen. but theyjust want to go off and calm down a bit, over summer. the government has announced the first major contracts for the high speed 2 rail line between london and birmingham. three british firms are among the companies chosen to build tunnels, bridges and embankments at a cost of £6.6 billion. the final route of the line north of birmingham will be announced in the next hour, after years of disagreement, but the first trains aren't expected to run until 2026, as wyre davies explains. hs2. critics say it'll be the most expensive railway on the planet. the government says it is essential for the future of the uk's transport system and the economies of the midlands and the north. contracts have been awarded for the first phase of the project,

between london and birmingham. those first contracts are worth more than £6 billion. that, says the government, will bring in 16,000 jobs, but already six years in the planning, the first trains won't be operational until 2026, by which time 300,000 passengers will be riding on the new network each day. overcrowding and overcapacity on the existing network is why its backers say hs2 is essential. no contradiction, says the government. it is spending billions on infrastructure at a time when public sector pay is still capped at i%. we have a situation today where the railways around our big cities are congested. where there is not enough space for the freight service. if we are going to have the capacity we need for the future, we will have to get the express trains off those lines, create more space in london, birmingham, manchester and leeds, and more

space to get freight off the roads and on to rail. large swathes of woodland, farmland and some villages will have to make way for the new line. more controversially still, experts say the department of transport has grossly underestimated the price. some suggestions the first phase to birmingham alone could double in cost from 23 billion, to almost £48 billion. the cost is based on international best standards, and those standards do not apply to the problems we have in the uk, where we are building on a small congested island, full of property—owning people, in a democracy, and the costs of land ta ke and compensation is considerable. at such a price others say hs2 will be nothing more than a vanity project, and there are better ways of spending public money. lots of much smaller enterprises, they are not as grand, they don't grab the headlines, they don't leave a legacy for the politicians who design them, but there are all sorts of typically road projects that would be much

more valuable to the economy than a colossal multi—billion pound new train line, which won't be fully operational for 15 years. this project has been mired in delays and complications, but later today the final routes of the northern branches to manchester and leeds are due to be announced, including what could be a controversial path round sheffield. that is what we are waiting to hear. it is controversial because ministers suggested that the line serving the existing sheffield city train station and to the meadowhall shopping centre were shelved, and that could mean bulldozing a housing estate nearby. so we will bring you that announcement as soon as we get it. we are expecting around 3:30pm. a man who's terminally ill is challenging the government

to try to overturn the ban on assisted dying. noel conway has motor neurone disease, and wants to be able to choose when and where he dies, without putting those who might help at risk of prosecution. the law currently makes it illegal to help someone to die. our medical correspondent fergus walsh reports from the royal courts ofjustice. noel conway increasingly relies on a ventilator to help him breathe. his chest muscles are gradually getting weaker. once fit and active, motor neurone disease has already robbed him of the ability to walk. as the condition progresses, he fears becoming entombed in his body. i will be quadriplegic. in fact, i could be virtually catatonic. i'll be conceivably in a locked—in syndrome. that, to me, would be a living hell. that prospect is just not one i can accept. this issue polarises opinion

and protests represented both sides of the argument outside court. within the court his lawyers said that a dignified death and what it is was a matter for an individual, not the state. under the suicide act, a doctor that allowed mr conway to die would face 15 years in prison. the last man in a case like this had not been diagnosed as terminally ill and since then mps rejected proposals to allow us assisted dying. supporters of the current law say it protects the weak and vulnerable. parliamentar have rejected this change to the law on at least ten occasions on the basis of public safety. any change to the law to allow assisted suicide is unnecessary and dangerous because it is uncontrollable.

mr conway says the law is broken and condemns him to unimaginable suffering. some breaking news now regarding the g re nfell tower some breaking news now regarding the grenfell tower families who lost their homes in fire four weeks ago. sajid javid, the communities secretary, has told the house of commons that 169 families have been offered accommodation. of those, 33 have accepted and nine families have moved in. earlier, the grenfell response team defended the response tea m response team defended the response team and said that traumatised families could not be rushed into moving to meet after the visual targets and said that most families we re targets and said that most families were holding out for permanent homes, hence those low figures. the

13 men took part in a ferocious attack that left simon dobbin permanently brain—damaged and he has been unable to walk or talk since the attack in southend in 2015. our reporter is at basildon crown court. what has thejudge reporter is at basildon crown court. what has the judge been saying? it has been very very interesting. 13 football hooligans had laughed and joked their way into the dock each morning. this morning it was different. they were facing sentencing. they were facing simon dobbin who suffered severe brain damage after that attack in march, 2015. he cannot walk or talk. he is trapped in his own body. but we can comprehend and hear what is going on. that is why his wife and himself we re on. that is why his wife and himself were keen to hear the sentencing today. let's just recap on what happened to simon dobbin in march, 2015. he had been a kim as united

fan for 2015. he had been a kim as united fa n for less 2015. he had been a kim as united fan for less than a year, he went to a match in southend that phil —— denise 0—0, he had a point, he was talking to a policeman, he was on his way home to the train station and the prosecution said he was ambushed ina and the prosecution said he was ambushed in a preplanned attack. it only lasted 90 seconds. but it changed his life for ever. today, when the 13 men, flanked by nine security guards, came into the dock at basildon crown court, they clocked simon dobbin sitting in court for the first time. some of them hung their heads. others looked away. there was a noticeable silence on the court. when a judge began to speak, simon dobbin became so upset and distressed that he was actually removed from the court. then his wife and daughter gave very powerful and emotional impact statements, victim impact statements, the way it had affected their lives as well as that of simon dobbin. nicol said that of simon dobbin. nicol said that her husband cannot tell her

that her husband cannot tell her that her husband cannot tell her that he loves any more, cannot embrace, you cannot walk his daughter down the aisle. she raised her voice and look at the 13 football hooligans and adopt and said, i hate what these violent thugs have done to us, simon has a life sentence. both her and her daughter have now called for a change in the law, saying that simon was clinically dead for seven minutes until paramedics saved him and these men should have been facing a murder trial. thejudge gave all of them in a sentence between five years, which is the maximum that can be given for violent disorder, down to 16 months. and they are all banned from football matches for the next ten yea rs. the headlines on bbc news: brexit secretary david davis has called on both sides of the negotiations to get down to business. he said his priority was to lift the uncertainty for eu citizens living in the uk and britons in the eu. the final route of the manchester and leeds branches of hs2 are due to be announced later and chris

grayling says the scheme will help to rebalance the economy. a terminally ill man with motor neurone disease is challenging the ban on assisted dying. south africa have beaten england in the second test by 340 runs a trent bridge. the win levels are serious, england were set a massive 474 runs for victory but collapsed, to 133 all out. roger federer has told the bbc that he has his sights on becoming world number one again after winning his record eighth wimbledon title. he says, at 36, he will carry on playing for as long as he can. this year's sports personality of the year award will be held at the echo arena in liverpool and it takes place in december and will be broadcast live on bbc one. i will have more on those

stories after 3:30pm. an american neurologist who's offered to carry out a new therapy on the terminally ill baby charlie gard has met the child's doctors in london. he is also expected to examine charlie over the next two days and to meet other medical specialists. doctors at great ormond street hospital believe the treatment won't work, and that charlie's life support should be turned off. for the parents of baby charlie gard, a great deal is riding on the visit of this man, dr michio hirano. a lauded neurologist from the us. he has offered to carry out experimental treatment which he says could improve charlie's life chances. much of charlie gard's short life has been spent in intensive care. he has a rare genetic condition, and experts say he should be allowed to die in dignity. but after a lengthy legal battle, charlie's parents hope that decision can now be reversed. dr michio hirano and another

physician arrived at the hospital this morning and were met by the medical directors. they have been given an honorary contract which gives them full status to examine charlie gard. they will also have access to his medical records, and all of the hospital's clinicalfacilities. so the key thing that the doctors will be looking for today is to ensure that they have absorbed all of the information from the historical notes around this patient, but also carried out a physical examination themselves to find the signs of his neurology and understand exactly his status at the current time. dr michio hirano's assessment is to be completed in two days. the findings will be passed to thejudge, who will decide whether there is hope for charlie yet. a former soldier has been jailed for 12 years for the manslaughter

and rape of the schoolgirl janet commins in 1976. steven hough, who's 58, killed the 15—year—old in flint when he was 16. he was convicted for decades after the teenager who was innocent was originallyjailed for the crime. matthew richards has been following the case at mold crown court. the judge acknowledged this was a very unusual case. stephen hough was convicted last week of the rape and manslaughter of janet commins as well as a serious sexual assault against her and he has been sentenced to prison. janet commins was 15 years old and she disappeared in january 1976 after going to the leisure centre and she died in the process of a brutal sexual assault by stephen hough. he was questioned at the time, but another teenager, noeljones, was ultimatelyjailed for manslaughter, although he always protested his innocence and there are now questions about how he became the centre of police investigations at the time.

stephen hough may have thought he got away with his crime but he gave a dna sample to police on an unrelated matter in 2016 and it was traced to dna samples taken from the body of janet commins and he was then taken to trial here at mold. the family ofjanet commins were in court today to hear the sentencing and it is clear that although the crime was 40 years ago, they have still lost none of the pain that they feel. a spokesman for north wales police made a statement on the case and spoke of the difficulties involved in securing a conviction. this was a very challenging and complicated and emotionally charged investigation. i would like to publicly acknowledge the family of janet and the public and the friends and the community and our partners for their understanding and their patience and support during what must have been an unimaginably difficult time. the methodical re—examination of case papers, exhibits and witnesses after 40 years has proved very testing and i am gratefulfor the dedication and professionalism of the investigating officers

and crown prosecution service, who have worked tirelessly since new evidence came to light last year. although a previous trial and conviction proved testing, recently obtained forensic evidence was a vital component which ultimately led to our prosecution case of overwhelming evidence. coupled with the support and cooperation from the local community, it has been a joint effort that will ensure that stephen hough is no longer a threat to the public and will spend many years in prison. i would also like to thank mark heywood, qc, and catherine richards, who have skilfully prosecuted this case in the last few weeks. it was a tragic case and on behalf of north wales police i would like to extend our deepest sympathy to janet's family and friends and i hope that the sentence today will bring them and the community some degree of justice. i would also like to thank the local community for their support, their response

and eagerness to assist in this investigation was significant and i am grateful to all concerned. thank you. 75 members of staff at a cardiff hospital have been left broken by a court ruling that means they owe thousands of pounds in parking tickets. on friday, a judge at cardiff civiljustice centre ruled private company indigo could collect the charges from university hospital of wales staff. the ruling means 75 people must pay £128 per outstanding ticket. our reporterjordan davies has this from cardiff. staff at the hospital say that simply isn't enough room there. there is one large hospital building and several multistorey car parks around the side, some just for staff, but starr say there is not enough room for a large major hospital and they are having to park

elsewhere in aries that are not designated. since april last year, staff parking in these areas have received parking fines. some staff say they have received quite a few parking fines. they have not been paying them, believing they didn't have too, and they have been ignoring reminders and now a judge at cardiff civiljustice centre said the staff have to pay these parts —— davies finds, £128 a ticket, and some staff say they will have to sell the homes or take out loans to cover these costs. are we talking about nurses and technical staff or across the nurses, doctors, office workers, technical staff. this group of staff were ta ken to court by indigo parking services who run the parking services. we have to pay £120 per ticket and have to share the £26,000 in legal costs. many staff say they can believe this has happened, that it has got to this point. they don't know what they are

going to do now, to find this money. can they appeal? as it stands, no. thejudge has made this ruling. we have had some statements from the hospital and from indigo parking services. they said the recent court case related to three persistent offenders who accumulated in excess offenders who accumulated in excess of 100 parking charge notices, between them, since last april. the company said it is their obligation to ensure enforcement at this side. the health board says 98% of its staff complied with parking rules. they say they are aware of significant financial costs and hardship staff have placed themselves in. they are urging staff to speak to this company. the judge is made is willing now and these staff will have the davies finds. is made is willing now and these staff will have the davies findsm is world energy day. the little i could have been growing in population —— popularity so much.

it's world emoji day. the little yellow icons have been growing in popularity in recent years— so much so that 5 billion are now posted on facebook messenger every single day. they say a picture speaks a thousand words, but is the emoji about to form a language of its own? well there's a new film that's due to be released next month, starring patrick stewart and james corden. let's take a sneak peek. 0k, we are cool. welcome to the secret world inside your phone, where emojis like me work and live. we have one thing to do and we have to nail it every time. we will go from there. who, me? huh?!", what the heck? i'm joined by a professor of linguistics and author of the emoji code. emojis are not a language but a globalform of

communication. 6 billion in total are sent every day. we have 3.2 billion internet users in the world. 9296 billion internet users in the world. 92% of those people regularly make use of emojis. why do we need them? they help us to better express our emotional selves. the good thing about language spoken face—to—face, we use different ways of communication, facial expressions and body language, to ourselves. that is missing in text speak and thatis that is missing in text speak and that is where emojis come into their own. if a woman sends the message, fine, do whatever you want and as an angry face, that perhaps explains what she has just written. some people say that if you haven't picked that up from the words, then you probably aren't going to get much help from emojis. one of the things we know is that humans are visual creatures. when your eyes are open, two thirds of human activity relates to visual activity, 45% of

the fibres in the brain connect to the fibres in the brain connect to the retina. it takes a fraction of a second to recognise an object. perhaps men, arguably, all visual cues are useful, especially in matters of the heart. we are familiar with smiley faces, with tea rs, familiar with smiley faces, with tears, with hearts, but there are some strange tears, with hearts, but there are some strange was tears, with hearts, but there are some strange was that you have to go and look up. which is the most strange? the weirdest one might be the grinning face. it can have different dialects, depending on whether you are a samsung user or an apple phone user so across these platforms they vary. the strangest of all might be this one which is used by the canadians. it isa

it is a pile of to with a smiley face.. and you are a record—holder in this now? yes, we met on saturday, five cities volvo round the world, dublin, abu dhabi, moscow, rio de janeiro, the world, dublin, abu dhabi, moscow, rio dejaneiro, london and we set a new world record for the most people dressed as emojis simultaneously and it was officiated bya simultaneously and it was officiated by a colleague from the guinness book of world records. and i was presented, this was in conjunction with the emoji movie which is coming out soon, which is testament to the cultural popularity of the emoji. what would you say to people who say that this is just four people are not very good with language, that they have to use these things? some people say that it is taking us back to the dark ages of illiteracy. that is the question i meant, yes!

excellent question! this prejudiced view fundamentally misunderstands the nature of communication. when we communicate face—to—face using language, we know that between 60 and 70% of emotional expression comes not from language itself but from this other stuff, facial expressions and gestures. that is missing in digital communication. we spend an average of 24 hours a week online in the uk, professional, social, educational contexts. so, digital communication is here to stay. we need to put the emotion back in. so that we can introduce greater empathetic resonance in our communications. smiley face, are you happy now? absolutely. this is good, thank you. i'm going to make you smile a bit more, because we have the weather forecast now from chris fawkes. yes, sunshine smiley face!

it is going to be a fine afternoon outside. barely a cloud in the sky. the only exception is across the farmer from scotland. even in orkney, it will try to brighten up. shetland will have this layer of plough through the afternoon. temperatures reaching 26 celsius and you could add another! degrees on to that by the end of the day. it will be quite warm across the south of england and wales. pressure conditions across the northern half of the uk —— fresher. we will have different winds, the winds coming in from the cooler north sea affecting eastern england and scotland, meaning that temperatures here will be some degrees lower, but the warm airwill be be some degrees lower, but the warm air will be wafting on to the western side of scotland, so warm and glasgow with highs of 25, temperatures reaching 28 celsius, then on tuesday evening we will see some thunderstorm starting to move up some thunderstorm starting to move up from the south. more on that in the next good afternoon, this is bbc news.

brexit secretary david davis has called on both sides of the negotiations to "get down to business". he said his priority was to lift the uncertainty for eu citizens living in the uk and britons in the eu. the final route of the manchester and leeds branches of hs2 is due to be announced later. transport secretary chris grayling says the scheme will help rebalance the economy. a terminally ill man with motor neurone disease noel conway has begun a legal challenge to overturn the ban on assisted dying. the duke and duchess of cambridge have arrived in warsaw with prince george and princess charlotte for a five day tour of poland and germany. kensington palace tweeted, adding that they "hope to meet as many people as possible during the tour". time for the sport. leayh is at the

sports centre for us. england have slumped to a heavy 340—run defeat against south africa in the second test at trent bridge, meaning the tourists have levelled the series at 1-1 with tourists have levelled the series at 1—1 with two to play. england resume on one without loss on the fourth day, needing to score an unlikely 474 for victory. they collapsed to 133-0. 474 for victory. they collapsed to 133—0. alastair cook top scored with 42. only three others reached double figures. roger federer‘s spoken to the bbc about winning his record eighth wimbledon title. the dad of four set his sights on becoming world number one at least once more in his career but he told the bbc‘s russell fuller it was a special moment for him to go one better than pete sampras‘s and his seven titles. it's very special but it's borderline strange

for me because he'll always be my hero. because i've surpassed his feat, it doesn't change anything for me, he's still my guy. that's after our match here in 2001, that's one day i would surpass him, i never thought that would be possible in my wildest dreams so i take it as it is andi wildest dreams so i take it as it is and i run with it, i enjoy it and i'm happy. people and fans were happy for me. yesterday was another incredible day here at wimbledon. wimbledon's been too kind to me over all these years and for me to be the record holder, for a male to win the first eight wimbledons, i'll always be that guy and that's very, very special and pete remains my hero always, of course. how tempted are you at the prospect of being the world number one. it is a favnt

storyline? -- fantastic storyline? absolutely. it's going to be a three or four—way race or maybe a two way race with me and rafa when andy drops his number one. but all of a sudden if andy starts winning again, we also do. if he starts dropping points, we'll get there. i hope it's me and not rafa because it would meana me and not rafa because it would mean a lot to me to get back to world number one. iwas mean a lot to me to get back to world number one. i was trying to explain to the press that i hadn't thought about it a whole lot yet. i'll have to speak with the team and decide how much i'm going to chase it for, the nearfuture, maybe get it for, the nearfuture, maybe get it one more time in my career or maybe that's when i should finish my career. i have tojust maybe that's when i should finish my career. i have to just have a bit of a meeting and discussion with my tea m a meeting and discussion with my team in the coming week. johanna

konta's moved up to numberfour in the world rankings today. she reached the semi—finals of the ladies singles at wimbledon before losing to venus williams. she was ranked seventh before the tour started. andy murray remains number one despite going out in the men's singles semi—finals. with six stages to go at the tour de france, chris froome is hoping he'll get stronger in the last week of the race, the defending champion says 2017's been the hardest tour yet after losing the hardest tour yet after losing the leader's yellow jersey the hardest tour yet after losing the leader's yellowjersey on thursday and winning it back on saturday. of course it was a disappointment to lose it in the pyrenees when i had a bad day but i am feeling better as the race goes on and hopefully that means with time things will go really well. i came in fresh and i hope that means that going into the third week now that going into the third week now that will put me in better shape than some of my rivals. that's all from me. more in the next hour. one of president trump's key election pledges last year

was a promise to send millions of illegal immigrants back home. the bbc‘s panorama programme has been investigating how the president has been putting his controversial deportation plans into action. hilary anderson has been to california to meet families who've been split by immigration arrests. these are the duarte children. one morning in may, when they were getting ready for school in their home in san diego, california, border patrol officers came and arrested both of their parents. theyjust came up to my mum and told her she was arrested and they put handcuffs on her. most of all, we were just shocked. and just sat down and cried. their parents, rosenda and francisco duarte snr, have been living in america illegally the 21 years. border patrol initially suspected them of involvement in international human trafficking, but later dropped the accusation. the duarte parents run a small ice cream business and have no criminal record. the first night alone, the children all moved their beds into the same room for comfort.

francisco, the older brother, now does his best to run the household. the border guards knew they were leaving a teenager in charge of children. they just asked me, are you francisco? i said yeah. they said are you 19 years old? i said yeah. they said, ok, you can take care of them. so, all right. so theyjust left you here with all the family? yeah. president trump came to office on a promise to prioritise criminals for deportation. trump: we have some bad hombres here and we are going to get them out. in his first 100 days, 41,000 illegals or suspected illegals were arrested. most were criminals, but there was a massive spike in people like the duartes being arrested, non—criminals who are undocumented. president trump's supporters say the administration is rightly enforcing the law. nobody wants families split and the way to ensure that, if you are a family, is to not come to this

country illegally. sometimes the sins of the father are visited upon the sons, and that's unfortunate, but the government didn't create those sins. the duartes went to see their parents in the immigrant detention centre where they have been held. their mother has since been released on bail, but both parents still face possible deportation, as now do any of america's 11 million undocumented immigrants. and you can watch panorama tonight at 8.30 on bbc one. it's been three years since the malaysian flight mh17 was shot down over the ukraine. today relatives of the dutch passengers gathered to pay their respects at a ceremony close to schipol airport, where a memorial forest has been created with 298 trees planted to symbolise the lives of those lost. a woman whose sister and mother

were shot by her stepfather at the family farm in surrey has returned to the scene of their deaths. 82—year—old john lowe murdered his partner christine and step—daughter lucy lee in 2014. police had returned his shotguns to him before he killed them. noel phillips reports. it's exactly the same. it's very eerie. it's almost like expecting something to happen. my heart is just...erratic, yeah. for the first time in three years, stacy banner has returned to the family farm near farnham in surrey, where her sister lucy at her mum christine were shot dead in 2014 by this man, her stepfather, john lowe. it brings back so many terrible memories. just an awful place, awful.

why did you want to come back? just to see if there was anything that reminded me of them. my sister painted those gold. a year before the killings, in march 2013, john lowe's seven shotguns were seized by surrey police following allegations he made threats to kill. but five months later, the guns on his licence were returned and in february 2014, christine, who had known him for more than 25 years, was shot at point—blank range. her daughter lucy escaped and made a frantic 999 call before she too was shot dead. stacy's account of what happened that day is very distressing. it was worse than an execution. executions are quick. and i keep thinking, she should have hid.

gosh, she was so brave. wasn't she brave? so, then, he beat her, shot the dogs... then stood over her with that gun... now, surrey police had records ofjohn lowe's violent history. he had made repeated threats to kill and even lied on his firearms application, but yet he was still given a licence to hold a gun. as soon as the murders happened, we got in independent police forces to review our firearms licences, so i am confident that the firearms license is now fit for purpose, which it clearly wasn't at the time. that's deeply disturbing, isn't it? of course it is, of course it is.

the tragedy should never have happened. christine and lucy lee's murders offer a rare glimpse into a tragic crime and the impact on the victims left behind. i can't forgive him. i can't forgive that pain. last week, a surrey police detective was found guilty of misconduct after arresting stacy in 2014, while two others were cleared of any wrongdoing. well in a statement to the bbc, chief superintendent helen collins from surrey police said. prince george and princess charlotte have arrived in poland

with their parents, at the start of a four day tour of eastern europe. the duke and duchess of cambridge are beginning their trip in warsaw, before moving on to berlin later this week. the foreign office hopes the tour will remind eu countries about the strength of their ties to the uk. our royal correspondent peter hunt is in warsaw where the family touched down earlier today. this is the privatejet this is the private jet that brought the cambridges to the airport. princess charlotte was carried off the aircraft in the arms of her mother kate, the duchess of cambridge. prince george three and going to school in september so really the last time he can do this sort of trip as a child. he walked down the steps holding on to his dad's hands, then the parents met dignitaries. george didn't seem overly keen as his parents. then they disappeared to spend their time first in poland and then in germany. obviously, this trip, there'll be a

lot of focus on whether or not it's brexit related. it won't go into the nitty—gritty of the negotiations, but what the british government hopes is that, during their time here in poland then germany, then what william and kate being here will deliver will be a focus on the past that poland and germany share with the uk and the potential for future relationships between poland, germany and the uk after we leave, that's the uk leaves the eu. south korea could have potential talks regarding the missile test. karen allen explains. the talks could take place on friday. it aims to end all acts of military on the

demarkation line. the timing is significant. two weeks after pyongyang tested what experts believe was its first intercontinental ballistic missile which in they ary could reach the us. it comes two months into a new presidency. president moon has promised that he will try and re—open talks with the north as part ofa re—open talks with the north as part of a new strategy, very different to the conservatism of the past ten yea rs. the conservatism of the past ten years. on the one hand, he's keeping the pressure up with sanctions, on the pressure up with sanctions, on the other hand he's trying to re—engage. so what can we expect? it's likely that we'll see confidence—building measures being discussed, in particular the possible ceasing of the propaganda broadcasts that get blared through loud speakers across the border. there is the possibility pyongyang may also call in return for an end of military drills with us military and south korea military forces. that could be a bone of contention.

there is also a humanitarian aspect to this deal. it is the case that seoul is looking to propose to re—open the possibility of reuniting people from the south and the north who've been separated often for many decades. that could be a bone of contention for pyongyang. it's still angry with seoul because of its failure to sindh back home —— send back home a key number of defectors. ina back home a key number of defectors. in a moment the business news but the headlines: brexit secretary david davis has called on both sides of the negotiations to get down to business. he said his priority was to lift the uncertainty for eu citizens living in the uk and britons in the eu. the final route of the manchester and leeds branches of the manchester and leeds branches of hs2 is due to be announced imminently. chris grayling says the scheme will help rebalance the economy. a terminally ill man with motor neurone disease begins the high court challenge to the ban on

assisted dying. good afternoon. the big news now: itv has appointed the head of easyjet, carolyn mccall, as its new chief executive. of easyjet, carolyn mccall, ms mccall, who will begin the new job next january, succeeds adam crozier, who stepped down at the end of last month. paramedics, teachers, prison guards and firefighters are thousands of pounds worse off since 2010 after public—sector pay caps and freezes, according to the tuc. the head of the trade union body, frances o'grady, is calling for public—sector pay review bodies to be "genuinely independent". the government has announced the first major contracts for the high speed two railway between london and birmingham. balfour beatty, the swedish—based skanska, and carillion — which is facing financial difficulties — are among the companies chosen to build tunnels, bridges and embankments at a cost of nearly seven billion pounds. another week another data breach, but what can you do?

last week it was us phone carrier verizon's turn, exposing millions of data records. lloyds, the insurance market says a major global cyber—attack has the potential to trigger £40 billion of economic losses, roughly the equivalent to a catastrophic natural disaster like 2012's hurricane sandy. inga beale, chief executive of lloyds of london joins us. what are the important things? the important thing is that a lot is not insured. the number you quoted is based on the economic loss and what we found in our studies is that the insured element of that is about 1796. insured element of that is about 17%. that's fundmently because there's perhaps a lack of

understanding about how businesses can protect themselves with insurance but also because this is such a new threat. if we think about some of the old threats that lloyds of london has been faced with, it's very much been on around physical assets. some buildings get damaged and obviously tragic loss of life and obviously tragic loss of life and things like earthquakes and hurricanes. but this is a new type. this is intangible and we are all trying to get ourselves around this. when you say that about the risks, is there appetite in the market amongst insurers to take this risk on? there is quite a few that offer cover. we have offered it for nearly 20 years and there are others who offer insurance. at the moment, because it's so new, the product is so because it's so new, the product is so new, there is a whole array of coverages out there. i think this is one of the slightly confusing things that we as an insurance sector have got to do a betterjob at, really explaining what the coverage is which can be, if you have had a data

breach, it can cover costs of investigation, if you've been out of business for a few days or perhaps weeks and you've lost revenues, income, you can buy insurance to protect you for that. you might have to pay extra overtime costs for it staff to be on site. you might have crisis management costs. so that's what insurance does but u nfortu nately we what insurance does but unfortunately we haven't yet quite got a line on a product offering. yes. but it's going to be expensive isn't it, particularly when you say the insurers themselves aren't sure of the risk and the product. they are going to charge morejust of the risk and the product. they are going to charge more just to of the risk and the product. they are going to charge morejust to be safe, aren't they? not necessarily. imean, safe, aren't they? not necessarily. i mean, this is what lloyds has been doing for many, many centuries. brokers have come to the lloyds market, shown the underwriters new risks and the lloyds underwriters have been prepared to take on on like we were when the first satellite went into space. this is exactly what we do. the reason we have done this research is to really raise awareness of the threat. the

big scenario we did was one of the cloud computer providers going down and being hacked. there are some major providers out there, amazon providing 30% of the cloud computing that's utilised and, just in the uk, 88% of businesses now use cloud services for hosting their data and systems. so this is why we wanted to do the research to help people understand the threat out there and how important and big it can be even though it is, we must admit, estimates and scenarios we have tried to invent that could be real. thank you very much. britain's major share index started the week with solid gains driven by basic resource firms, while a government contract won by crisis—hit construction firm carillion gave it some respite from heavy losses sustained last week. carillion — which is involved in the redevelopment

of battersea power station, the extension of anfield and, has seen its shares rise 19%. but the firm's still got a big mountain to climb. it's more than 1,000 years since the lynx became extinct in the uk but campaigners hope reintroduce it to the british countryside on a trial basis. an application being considered by natural england could see them released into kielder forest in northumberland, but the return of a major predator is worrying farmers. graham satchell reports. the last lynx in britain was killed for its fur 1,300 years ago. the application going in to natural england today would see them return.

between six and ten wild lynx released into kielder forest in northumberland. this is a huge conservation milestone. this is the first licence ever submitted to reintroduce lynx on a trial basis to the uk. this is a life—sized cutout of a lynx, so that's actually how big a real lynx is, so they aren't that big, that's actually about the size of... paul o'donoghue from the lynx trust has been doing a consultation, talking, listening and explaining and the children at kielder first school have big questions. are lynx dangerous to people? lynx live all over the world and in human history a healthy wild lynx has never, ever, ever attacked a human anywhere in the world. there's a genuine excitement here and enthusiasm for the return of a wildcat. they might not hurt people but lynx are expert hunters. their main prey, deer. deer eat out the understory, they overgrazed and if you see now there's very little under story around so there's not really many places for small mammals and birds to nest and lynx are needed to control that balance, to balance the ecosystem. not according to sheep farmers, who say deer are not a problem and lynx would be a threat.

i think it's absolutely a stupid idea for a predator that's not been in this country for 1,000 years to be released where it's going to cause damage to viable business. as far as i'm concerned, the lynx will go for the easy target, which is going to be sheep and lamb. opinion here is divided. in the local pub, mike brown is thinking about his business. one estimate suggests the lynx could bring around £30 million a year in extra tourist revenue. it is the most remote village in england, so we need as many tourists as we can get. we rely on tourist trade, that's 99% of the trade we take is tourists. will kielder forest become the land of the lynx? the decision is now in the hands of natural england but if they say yes, experts predict there could eventually be as many as 400 lynx in forests

around the uk. graham satchell, bbc news, kielder forest. let us take a look at the weather. very good afternoon to you. we have got lots of warm sunshine with us at the moment. peter pan wasn't in never land today, he was in the gower taking this picture. you can see the extent of the sunshine on the satellite picture, high pressure firmly in charge. we have seen the cloudier zone working into scotland. in shetland it's a different story, we keep the cloudy skies with us for the rest of the day today. a few

showers dotted around as well. high pressure will keep the skies clear for most overnight. it will be a warm night for sleeping across southern parts of england and wales with temperatures staying into the upper teens with the fresh air across the northern half of the british isles. that's where the co mforta ble british isles. that's where the comfortable weather is for sleeping overnight. tomorrow, high pressure's still with us. it's changed position. this is crucial because it changes the wind direction. so with more of a wind coming in from the cool north sea, temperatures across eastern scotland and parts of eastern scotland and parts of eastern england will be a few degrees lower of those today. temperatures of 25 or so then in glasgow. wherever you are though it will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine and to the west of london, maybe across parts of the midlands, we should see highs of 27 or 28.

then through tuesday evening, storms will break out. initially coming in across the english channel before driving north overnight across wales, the midlands and east anglia. the amount of rain you see from the showers will vary significantly from place—to—place. however, there could bea place—to—place. however, there could be a few storms that are capable of bringing over half a month's worth of rainfall in the space of a few hours, so there is the risk of localised flooding as the storms continue their journey localised flooding as the storms continue theirjourney northwards. temperature—wise on wednesday, this is the hottest day of the week. up to 30. it will feel humid wherever you are. that's wednesday then. towards thursday and friday, cooler airwill towards thursday and friday, cooler air will flow into the north—west of the uk. temperatures are a bit disappointing there even. warm for a time on thursday in the south—east before the fresher air filters in as we get on into friday. essentially temperatures coming back close to average towards the end of the week. that's the weather. you're watching bbc news.
