day. how the popularity of the icons change the way we can indicate. and south africa level the series at 1-1. good evening and welcome to bbc news. schools in england are to get a £1.3 billion over two years. but the money will have to come from savings elsewhere

in the education budget. the announcement by the education secretaryjustine greening follows protests by headteachers and mps that schools have been facing unsustainable cuts. labour has criticised the move as nothing more than a "sticking plaster". our education correspondent gillian hargreaves reports. only yesterday, another protest from teachers and parents who say their schools need more money. for months, heads have written letters and parents protested, from the south—east of england to the north—west. today, justine greening acted on an election pledge to double it —— divert more money from civil service in london to schools across england. the additionalfunding i am setting out today, together with the national funding formula, will provide schools with the funding they need to offer a world—class education to every single child. there will be an additional £1.3 billion for schools and high needs across 2018—19. and 2019-20.

school spending will rise from £41 billion in 2017 to £43.5 billion by 2020. no secondary school pupil will have less than £4800 spent on their schooling. plans to reallocate spending, which would have seen losses for some schools, especially in inner cities, will now see cash gains. the devil will be in the detail. it is not new money. we will have to see what the impact is elsewhere. although the money will be welcomed, schools are facing rising bills for teachers pay and pensions, and running costs. this extra investment will come from money already set aside for education. i welcome the £1.3 billion announced today, but can the secretary of state confirm if it will affect per—pupil budgets in real terms, orjust the overall budget?

this is all being funded without a penny of new money from the treasury. the government has been galvanised to dig in its pockets because of frustration in classrooms across england, and anger at the school gate. whether it will be enough to help relieve the pressure on class sizes and teachers jobs is still unclear. let's talk about this to the conservative mp and chair of the education select committee. quite a u—turn by the government? is an important announcement and a step forward. teachers and children will really welcome the increased money by the government as you have said. it will be up to 43.5 billion by 20

25, up from 41 billion today. but not new money, money from the education department found from savings elsewhere? the abortion thing is that they have said that they will take money from raising efficiencies in the department. 0bviously efficiencies in the department. obviously we want to look at that as in the select committee for education to put money on the front line. that means under the national funding formula, every schoolboy get a minimum of a funding formula, every schoolboy get a minimum ofa 0.5% funding formula, every schoolboy get a minimum of a 0.5% increase, others will get more when that is brought through. that is an important announcement. we have a difficult economy and the moment. the government have listened to what the public were saying in the elections and have announced some real money to help schools. the reaction from the world of education seems to be thank you, welcome, but not nearly enough. let me run you through the

associated teachers —— association of teachers and lecturers say it is not a long—term solution, the nut c'est extra money is welcome but not enough, unison say that extra money is needed to reverse the damage done. not a universal welcome although people are saying it is good news but not enough. by 2019-20, good news but not enough. by 2019—20, there will be an extra £2.6 billion spent on our education system and our schools. i think that is important. we would all welcome more money. i want to look and resources in my role as the chairman of the education select committee and how we help the most disadvantaged get a good education. but this is an important announcement. there is not a lot of money going around because of the difficulties with the economy but the government has said they will

continue to invest in our schools and have... you say continue to invest, but the charges that you cut billions of pounds from school budgets. there was record spending on schools and the government protected the core schools budget despite the fact that there were difficulties with our economy. so there have been no cuts? of course it has been difficult. i am not saying there have not been any cuts but they protected the core schools budget. this should be welcomed as an important step. everybody in education would want even more, i wouldn't, who wouldn't want more money spent on our schoolchildren to give them a first—class education? but there will be increased money by 2019-20. £1.3 but there will be increased money by 2019—20. £1.3 billion, which means £2.6 billion overall. extra money for pe and sport in primary schools.

they will double the amount being spent on that which is important for our children so we should welcome this as an important step forward. thank you for your time. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are camilla tominey, political editor of the sunday express and jason beattie, head of politics at the daily mirror. the routes for the second stage of the new hs2 high speed rail network have been confirmed. trains will run from birmingham on two lines — one serving the north west and major cities like manchester and liverpool — the other serving the east midlands and up to leeds and york. the first trains are not expected to run until 2026. for years, there have been disagreements about exactly which route the line should take. now some properties on a new housing estate in mexborough

in south yorkshire will have to be bulldozed to make way for it. here's our transport correspondent richard westcott. it's the train line that splits people right down the middle. for supporters, it will boost the economy and bridge the north—south divide. critics say costs will spiral and benefits are overblown. and there's the £56 billion price tag. if we don't have the investment we need in the future to increase the capacity of our transport system to increase economic development. we will not carry on with the progress we have made to bring unemployment down. contracts have just been awarded for the first phase of hs2 between london and birmingham, worth nearly £7 billion and creating 16,000 jobs. that first section will not open for another nine years. there's been another big hs2 announcement today, several years late. they have finally put out the route

that goes from birmingham up to manchester on one side and sheffield and leeds on the other. it goes right through this brand—new housing estate. in fact, right through ben's house. we have been told that the route will cut through from the show houses, through my property and through my neighbour's property. we were not told this when we bought the house. why build a housing estate and then knock it down? we are short of houses anyway. where do we then move to? just over the road, the line could also cut through karen's farm. we spoke to her last year, and she was livid. i am not moving anywhere. i will fight this until death. today, i'm gutted, to think that we have put all this, over 40 odd years into what we've got... you were fuming last time we were here. what has happened since then? have they been to see you? no, nothing.

too much gone into this over years. you know, i could never imagine living anywhere else. hs2 creates losers, but it makes winners as well, like this small digital marketing company in nottingham. it will be easier for us to do business on a national scale, easier for us to attract clients to our offices here, and to attract talent from around the country, who will be willing to relocate here or even commute from other cities. the first leeds hs2 train will not depart for another 16 years. plenty of time for opponents to fight the plans. the second round of formal talks on britain's departure from the eu is taking place in brussels. the brexit secretary, david davis, says it's time to get down to business. meanwhile, theresa may

is to try to reimpose discipline on her senior ministers after a series of leaks over the weekend suggesting cabinet splits and infighting. here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. they don't really have much time to hang around. the two men who will haggle over how we leave. especially with the uk's political situation ratherfluid, at best. it's incredibly important we now make good progress and we negotiate through this and identify the differences, so we can deal with them, and identify the similarities, so we can reinforce them. it's time to get to work. now we have to work. there is a lot to do. working out the irish border, the brexit bill, writes for brits abroad... but government ministers don't agree completely about what should be on the table. perhaps that is why the brexit secretary seemed to arrive without his notes.

perhaps chatter around the cabinet at home suggests the big beasts are split. is the cabinet split on the brexit? we have seen in another part of town today, i'm very pleased that negotiations are beginning, and as you know, is very fair, serious offer has been put on the table by the uk government. it's notjust that government has to wrangle brexit through brussels and parliament, but deal with disagreements on public sector pay and on spending. above all, the disagreements have emerged into daylight because the discipline theresa may had imposed on the tories has all but disappeared since the general election. tomorrow, she will warn the cabinet to behave, to keep their views to themselves, but those for desire for the top job believe the game is on. it's got to stop.

whoever is doing it, everybody needs to get into a rather cold shower, and then get together and have a warm pint afterwards. this is damaging. it's damaging to the party, to the parliamentary mps, and to the country. remember him, urging the tories today to inspire, not to look to the past? the risk to the tories the current generation hurt each other fighting old battles anew. a terminally ill man has begun a legal challenge to the ban on assisted dying in england and wales. 67—year—old noel conway has motor neurone disease. he says he fears becoming entombed in his body and wants to be able to choose when and where he dies, without those who help him being prosecuted. currently it is illegal to help someone to die. our medical correspondent fergus walsh reports. crowd: we're with noel! should there be a right to die? it's an issue which polarises opinion, and keeps coming back to the high court.

the latest challenge is from noel conway from shropshire, who was too weak to attend today's hearing. his wife carol is his main carer. motor neurone disease means he increasingly relies on a ventilator. 0nce fit and active, his muscles are progressively wasting. he fears how he will die, and wants a doctor to be allowed to give him a lethal dose of drugs. i want to be able to say goodbye to the people that i love at the right time, not to be in a zombie—like condition, suffering both physically and psychologically. that, to me, would be a living hell. it is only three years since the supreme court rejected a similar plea for a right to die from tony nicklinson, though he was not considered to be terminally ill. the blanket ban on assisted dying has been challenged many times,

and in every case, the courts have rejected the central argument that the current law breaches human rights by preventing people from having a dignified death. mr conway's lawyers argue that his challenge is different, as it applies to a narrow group of people — those who are terminally ill, with less than six months to live, and to have a settled wish to die. but those safeguards have already failed to persuade parliament. it's only two years since mps overwhelmingly rejected proposals to allow assisted dying. baroness jane campbell, a disability rights campaigner, says changing the law would send all the wrong signals, and have horrific ramifications. this case must not become law because it will burden disabled people across the country, who will not feel safe without the protection of a law that

says it is wrong to assist somebody to die. noel conway's health is faltering, and he knows he may die before his case is settled. the high court will reserve its judgment until october, and it may then go all the way to the supreme court. fergus walsh, bbc news. a teenage boy has appeared in court in stratford charged with a series of acid attacks. he faces charges of grievous bodily harm with intent, robbery and possessing a weapon designed to discharge a noxious liquid. 0ur designed to discharge a noxious liquid. our latest headlines... the education secretary says that schools are to receive extra funding

that but we planned for more to come in. we are now going to put that extra directly into the school's fund and make sure every school across our country is going to do better from the national funding formula. this is really good news and it is right and should be challenging my civil servants to make sure the money we have got is being invested as well as it can be an going to the front line, rather than in the back office. part of the funding is coming from the free schools budget. this is a symbol that you are going cold on free schools and you recognise that this is not the best option and local authorities can deliver skills? not at all. i have said today we are going to get on delivering our commitment in preschools. they have been even tactic we are getting workplaces into our school systems and brand—new schools that communities have wanted themselves. iam communities have wanted themselves. i am setting out there we're pushing on with that but i think we can do it more efficiently by working

told the comment that 30 have accepted accommodation and nine have moved in. a woman whose sister and mother were shot by their stepfather has returned to the scene of their death. he murdered them in 2013. please have returned his shotguns to him before he killed them. 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. on the victims left behind. i can't for give that pain. on the victims left behind. a surrey police detective was found guilty of misconduct after arresting stacy in 2014, while two others were cleared of any wrongdoing. ina in a statement, the chief superintendent said this, the claims

they have been left, "broken" by a court ruling that it does not cover the phones. i am really gutted. i have to allow 45 minutes extra to park the car to find somewhere to park. by the time i get to work there are no parking spaces and i have to park 25 to 25 minutes walk away. i had permits that allowed them to park in designated areas for £1.05 per day. there is not enough of these spaces and any doctors, nurses and care workers say they have been forced to park in unauthorised areas which has resulted in fines. 0n park in unauthorised areas which has resulted in fines. on friday, is civil court ruling found in favour of the car park operators and upheld the fee of £128 per ticket. indigo

claim three members of staff were persistent offenders and had more than 100 fines between them. sue ru ns than 100 fines between them. sue runs an action group helping employees fight these fines. they are raising money on line to pay for the legal services needed for an appeal. the actual realisation that these charges are now enforceable is for some going to break them. some are leaving, some have already decided that enough is enough and left. last year, following concerns raised at the hospital, it was agreed that all fines up to the end of march would not be pursued. the health board say that led to a big drop infines health board say that led to a big drop in fines and they have also introduced a park and ride scheme. we have reduced by over half in the number of fines that are applied to people. 98% of our staff park rectally and legally. this is a

never said anything to robert terry about anybody. i want someone to come out and say why it has happened. it does not matter how but it would be nice to know why. all the names were read out today and there were a lot of people who struggle to read out the names, especially for young children. it was tough for me. i was one of the last ones to get up. the longer it went, the harder it was. i would like to think i did lee and john justice. it is never going to go away but please somebody admit what they did. tell us why. this memorial forest was designed to symbolise life, growth and the hope that so many of these families are still clinging onto. a record number of civilians have lost their lives and what the united

they have been used for years. they came onto the scene injapan in the early 2000 and the wear this split up early 2000 and the wear this split up set across multiple handsets and google and apple came together and made it official standard. who decides? there is a strict rule on what can become a new one. who decides that? there is a group of people, mostly volunteers and some of them represent apple and google and they are part of something called unicode. they decide how your computer displays font, whether it supports chinese, all those types of things. unicode is a system for computers to understand fonts. the art is upset inside unicode. the group of people inside unicode get to decide which new ones are coming onto the scene. you cannot be a company and try and promote yourself
