how can a pretty wife make such bad coffee? adverts that endorse gender stereotypes could be banned under new plans from the advertising standards authority. not so grate! a reward of £500 has been offered after two blocks of award—winning cheese were stolen from an agricultural show. welcome to bbc news. a report into youth custody centres in england and wales has found a staggering decline in safety at youth jails. in his annual report, the chief inspector of prisons, peter clarke, said the some places were so unsafe that the some places were so unsafe that a tragedy is inevitable.

mr clarke reported that he hadn't inspected a single establishment which was fit to hold a young person. he spoke to us earlier. the reality of the violence that is going on, we take that into account when we make our judgment and we got to the point in february this year where we were unable to say that any of the youth insitutions and facilities we inspect... we couldn't consider any of them safe to hold children and young people and that was what was written to ministers. i want to know why the state, having accepted me, say as a prisoner, as their responsibility, then fails in its duty to keep me to keep me safe and secure,

and in conditions to help me turn my life around, to enter the community with hope for the future. i made it clear that some sort of tragedy would be inevitable unless there was some firm action taken to make these places safer. within four weeks of my letter, there was nearly such a tragedy at one of the training centres where a very young member of staff was attacked. i've had a reply from the government talking about all their plans and aspirations for the future. i hope these plans and aspirations will be turned into reality. our home correspondent danny shaw had this to say. he wrote to the minister, phillip leigh, in february and said

something has to be done about this. he is worried about the levels of violence. he says there a vicious circle in these training centres whereby if a young boy is violent, they then had restrictions placed on what they can do. perhaps they are locked in their room for longer, unable to do activities. that leads to them being more frustrated which in turn leads to more violence. in a statement, the department ofjustice said that safety of every young person is their absolute priority and that more needs to be done. but we also want custody to improve the life chances of children in our care and to deliver improvements to education and health services within youth custody. that's why we have created a new youth custody service, with an executive director for the first time in the department's history, to make sure this vital area is given the priority and weight it deserves. the rate of inflation slowed unexpectedly last month, according to official figures. consumer price inflation, the rate at which the price of goods and services bought by households

rise or fall, stood at 2.6 percent injune, down from 2.9 percent in may. it's the first fall since october last year, and is thought to be largely a result of lower petrol and diesel prices. our economics correspondent andy verity reports. this carpet factory in kidderminster has been stepping up production to meet growing demand, with orders up 30% from one year ago. the devaluation of the pound before and after the brexit vote pushed up the cost of importing wool to make the yarn that goes into its carpets. with higher wage costs, it can't trim much from its production process. so, it moved its product upmarket, and convinced retailers it's worth paying a little bit more for its designs. our prices have had to go up. we've increased prices by around 2% this year. and that's been a natural consequence of increased wage costs, yarn costs and energy costs. we have had to pass that on to our customers. by and large, customers don't like price increases in a time of economic instability, i suppose, the uncertainty that we're facing at the moment.

but there's also an understanding that that has to take place. higher costs of imported raw materials caused by the drop in the pounds value is still feeding through to prices. 11 months ago, the bank of england's big fear wasn't too much inflation, but too little. and it cut interest rates to their lowest ever level. but now that's changed, there are more voices calling for interest rates to return from emergency levels back up to something more normal. the fear now is that inflation isn't temporary, and that it might become embedded. those voices will be a little quieter now that the figures have revealed some relief from rising inflation last month. between may and june, furniture, furnishings and carpets rose by i.6%. but recreation, everything from concerts to games and hobbies, dropped 0.1%.

and fuel prices fell back on the month by i.i%. it looks as if inflation might be dampened a bit by softer fuel price growth over the next few months. but underlying price pressures from post—brexit falls in stirling are still there, and they look set to continue to push inflation up a bit further as we move towards the end of the year. for now, the pressure on the bank of england to slow inflation by raising interest rates has lessened. in the city, they're still betting a rise in interest rates will be needed, but not until next march. andy verity, bbc news, kidderminster. with me now is ben bland. can you explain about the rise in inflation? as we heard in andy's report, inflation makes importing more expensive. companies face higher costs. the cost will pass on to shoppers like you and me. that is why inflation is expected to continue to rise. it is worth pointing out prices are going up butjust not as quickly

injune as they did in may. wages aren't keeping up and that creates its own dynamics. it's the cost of living squeeze. if inflation is 2.6... wages on average are only increasing at 2%, whereas prices are increasing at 2.6%. that is outstripping what we are taking home. the government has been told it must stop this living squeeze. many living people are caught in a vice, britain needs a pay rise across the public and private sector. the treasury says, while it is encouraging that inflation is low, we appreciate that some families are worried about the cost of living which is why, they say, we have introduced a national living wage

and tax cuts for millions of people. if people want to see how their own wages compared in terms of inflation, and what kind of pay rise they would need, there's a simple calculator on our website. we always link inflation with a rise in interest rates. for savers, a rise in interest rates could be quite good? we've had interest rates at unprecedented lows for some time now. people aren't getting good returns on their savings, on the other hand however, it is keeping mortgage levels down. the bank of england are unlikely to put up interest rates when inflation slows, because if people have greater mortgage costs then they will less likely to go out spending and therefore this will cause more economic problems. thank you, ben. after enjoying the pomp of bastille day in paris last week, president trump has returned to the us to find some of his key policies under threat. his attempt to replace his predecessor's health care system have been dealt another major blow.

two more republican senators have refused to back his latest plans, making it impossible for the bill to pass in its current form. the president says obama care should be allowed to fail before a replacement is found. richard galpin reports. on a visit to paris last week, donald trump basked in the warm welcome from french president emmanuel macron. mr trump looking reluctant to leave. and no wonder. returning to washington has meant facing once again the grim reality that his administration is bogged down by a long list of crises. top of that list, the opposition to the president's plans to abolish health—care reforms brought in by his predecessor, which have enabled more than 20 million americans to get affordable health insurance. introducing legislation to replace obamacare with trumpcare was one of mr trump's key campaign pledges.

the house bill ends the obamacare nightmare, and gives health care decisions back to the states and back to the american people. now, with some politicians from his own party pledging to oppose this, there's no chance the bill will be passed. and it's the same story with another controversial trump policy, which has sparked mass protests. the limited travel ban preventing muslims from several countries from entering the united states. donald] trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states... but the president's executive orders have frequently been blocked or amended in the courts. it was just last month that mr trump made another huge announcement. the united states will withdraw from the paris climate accord... but once again, he's come under

intense pressure to change his mind, from the international community and back home. particularly here in the key state of california, which has just voted to extend its laws to cut carbon emissions. plagued by so many problems, the president's approval rating has now dropped to just 36%, according to the latest opinion poll. and this after only six months in office. and of course, there's the other growing crisis looming over the administration, the scandal over russia's interference in the presidential election, allegedly to help mr trump reach the white house. richard galpin, bbc news. a bbc investigation has found that only a fraction of the money donated

to the grenfell tower fire appeal has so far reached survivors, or relatives of those who died. nearly 20 million pounds has been raised, and a0 thousand boxes of goods have been donated. but only half a million pounds of that has so far been distributed to families. tom burridge reports. this is the grenfell tower fire appeal in action. a red cross sorting centre in cheshire. donations in the green bags will be sold in red cross shops. black bags are for recycling. brand—new items will go straight back to survivors of the fire, or relatives of those who died. it's about turning all of the different then go to the appeal. to appreciate the scale of donations, you have to fly through this london warehouse a week after the fire. it's estimated 174 tonnes of stuff was donated. so far, they've sorted half of it.

and ten tonnes has gone back to the victims. no amount of money is enough for the loved ones of those who died. research by the bbc shows that several appeals and charities have now raised nearly £20 million. some question why only a small part of that has made it through. you'll feel that it's betraying the public‘s generosity, because they gave money to help directly those who are affected. and they're not too clear that it's happening, it's like this, so... and organisations are getting financial support. charities say the complexity and scale of what happened here means that everything takes time. the thing about these things that we've learned from the 7/7 attacks and indeed the response to the manchester attacks, it takes longer than you might think for people to come forward to seek their funding.

thelma stober lost her left foot in the london 7/7 bombings. she received money donated by the public. you are in a state of confusion. a lot of people are suffering from post—traumatic stress. you were trying to understand what has happened, the implications for your life going forward, it's changed forever. it took 15 months to distribute all of the money raised for victims of those attacks, like thelma. thelma is now a trustee of the london emergency trust. it's distributing £4.8 million of the grenfell appeal. so far, 16 people have received payments. whether donating an old top or a tenner, people have been moved to act. the challenge for charities is ensuring it all benefits those who lost so much. tom burridge, bbc news. you are watching bbc news. our headlines. appalling conditions in youth

custody centres make a tragedy inevitable, according to the chief inspector of prisons, who says he's staggered by the decline in standards in england and wales. inflation is now at 2.6% — the first fall since october — but prices are still rising faster than wages. president trump's efforts to replace barack obama's healthcare system suffers another setback as some of his own senators refuse to back his latest proposals. england are chasing 219 in the world cup cricket. they are currently 79—2. casey stoney has been ruled out of the women's european championship, england versus scotland with a hamstring injury. and johanna konta says she is working towards becoming the world number one. she is up to fourth in the rankings. she reached the semifinals

of wimbledon where she lost to venus williams. we will be back with more sports stories at half—past. four members of a police helicopter crew have gone on trial accused of using the aircraft to spy on people sunbathing naked, or involved in sexual activity. the case involves the south yorkshire police helicopter. it's claimed the crew spied on people on four occasions between 2007 and 2012. a fifth officer has admitted the charges of misconduct in a public office. let's cross now to our correspondent, danny savage, who is outside sheffield crown court. simon, the case started to date. as with the beginning of any trial, this is when the prosecution will outline its case, and their qc said the case concerns the use of the south yorkshire police helicopter, ona number of south yorkshire police helicopter, on a number of occasions between 2007 - 2012, or to

on a number of occasions between 2007 — 2012, or to put it more accurately, the misuse of either for —— the helicopter by the four defendants. and a fifth man, adrian pogmore,. the helicopter it is alleged was used to film people either naked in their gardens, or having sex. the camera zoomed in at a naked women in her garden in rotherham. there was also footage of naturist in doncaster, and there was footage of a couple having sex on a patio in their suburban house in south yorkshire, but they knew they we re south yorkshire, but they knew they were being filmed and the women

waved at the camera on the police helicopter. the couple allegedly knew adrian pogmore. he was a police observer, a constable, and he was observing what was going on. there was other footage of another women sunbathing completely naked in her garden. the couple, they knew they we re garden. the couple, they knew they were being filmed. anything else in court? let me tell you about the defendants. adrian pogmore is 50 yea rs defendants. adrian pogmore is 50 years old. he's pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office, so he is not on trial but will appear for sentencing. there are two other police constables, matthew lucas and lee walls. two pilots, matthew loosemore and malcolm reeves. they

blame mr paul moore for what happened, but after the video of the couple having sex was shown to the jury, the prosecuting barrister said this. you would hope the police helicopter was being used to keep community safe, you would never imagine it would be used to film a pairof imagine it would be used to film a pair of swingers engaging in sexual passion for the gratification of the crew. the trial is due to last the three weeks. several of those filmed in the videos said they were mortified to find out the police helicopter had been spying on them. thank you, danny. a leading health academic has warned that improvements in life expectancy have almost ‘ground to a halt‘ in england.

professor sir michael marmot, from university college london, says the rate of increase — which has been rising for decades — has halved since 2010. he says it is entirely possible that austerity is affecting how long people live, but the government says its policies aren't responsible, as sara smith explains. for years, we've been getting, well, older. for a century, average life expectancy has been rising. in england, it is now 83 for women, 79 for men. but the author of a study at the institute of health equity says he is deeply concerned that increases are now levelled off. and that while he can't make any firm conclusions, what he describes as miserly health and social care spending could be contributing. it's entirely possible and i think it's an urgent that we try and sort that out, that they try and work out if it has and if it has, it is yet one more argument why we should be more generous in our social expenditure, if we want to address the quality of life of older people and if we want to address inequalities in health at all pages. inequalities in health at all ages. historically, for every 5 years

later you were born, you'd expect a year longer life span. it was 3.5 years for men. but since 2010, life expectancy has only increased a year every ten years for women and every six for men. care for older people was particularly pressing, said sir michael, because of the increase in those with dementia, who would need more, not less funding. when this woman's father developed the disease, she says the family struggled to get the support they needed to have him looked after properly. by the time we started to make headway with them and they put together a package for us, unfortunately, for us, his condition had deteriorated so badly that he became quite sick and was admitted to hospital. people are dying in a way that they shouldn't be because of that lack of support. that needs addressing, we're an affluent country, we should be able to support people with dementia as well as we support people with cancer or heart disease, we're not doing it and it's

about time we started to provide that support. but the department of health says more money is going into the nhs and social care. that life expectancy continues to rise. sarah smith, bbc news. the family of a seven—year—old autistic boy with a rare condition that puts him at risk of severe brain damage are beginning a high court challenge to an nhs decision which has denied him a life—changing drug. nhs england says the effectiveness of the drug, which would cost £100 a day, hasn't been proved. our legal correspondent, clive coleman, is at the high court. this young boy, who we are calling david for legal reasons, has a condition known as pku, which means that he cannot metabolise protein. that means he is limited to 12 grams of protein per day. to put that into context, a slice of bread has four grams of protein in it. that shows the limitation on his diet. in addition to that he has severe autism, so he simply doesn't understand that he can't eat the foods that he wants. his consultant has said that he

wa nts his consultant has said that he wants the boy to have a particular drug which would help him metabolise the protein, but that is very expensive, around £100 per day, and nhs england has refused to fund it to —— saying it isn't ethical or financially viable. they are challenging this in the high court saying the decision is irrational and they have not taken the best interest of the child at heart. if that argument is successful, it means the nhs has to put the child's welfare at the centre of its decision—making on whether to allow this costly drugs to be given to children with rare conditions. there

could be a cost implication, but it means the parents and children who needs these drugs will get them. adverts showing women cleaning up, or men failing at household chores should be regulated more strongly. the advertising standards authority says commercials that endorse gender stereotypes can be socially irresponsible. but are those stereotypes having a damaging effect? here is our media correspondent, david silitoe. oven pride, so easy a man can do it! so easy a man could do it? orthis? girls do ballet and of course, boys, maths, or this. the advertising standards authority is looking at tightening up its rules on how men and women are portrayed in adverts. women, don't expect any help on a thursday. it's going to be ok for an ad to show a woman shopping or cleaning, it's going to be ok for an ad to show a man doing the diy task in the home.

what we are going to be looking at is at that go beyond, at is ads that go beyond, ads that paint a picture that it is, for example, the woman's role to tidy up after her family, who trashed the house, that's herjob in life. they're worried about that sort of depiction. similarly, adds that might mock men for being hopelessly performing straightforward parent or household tasks just because they're a man. "look like a girl but think like a man if you want to be the boss." or this... "are you beach body ready?" the asa's concerns are about stereotypes or ads that pressurise women and men to look and act in a certain way. of course, things have changed since an era that produced this. the question is, what is the dividing line? how can such a pretty wife make such bad coffee? i heard that! nannette newman spent years over a washing—up bowl. at what point does that become gender stereotyping? one of the argument is that ads are too orientated

towards making women buy products that are for cleaning, cleaning the toilet, cleaning the house, washing—up and everything, well, you know, so what, really? people can either take it in or not and so often, those women who are watching those ads, their husbands in the kitchen doing washing—up anyway. and some feel the asa is beginning to stray into politics. its primary role is to ensure advertisers are not misleading there audience. misleading their audience. they shouldn't be making arbitrary judgments about gender stereotypes that they randomly decide they don't like. it's got nothing to do with them. and this isjust an organisation trying to put their left—wing agenda onto the free—market and it has no place there. why? a move then against the sexist ad, the challenger deciding what that exactly means. the duke and duchess

of cambridge have been visiting a former concentration camp as they continue their tour of poland and germany. our royal correspondent peter hunt reports from stutthof concentration camp. apologies. that is not peter hunt and we do not have his report. let's get you your weather now. there will be a change in the weather across south—west england, across parts of devon, cornwall and dorset. there seems to be to fund spells —— to fund spells. two thunder spells.

there seems to be to fund spells —— two thunder spells. disruptive, humid overnight. stilla little bit fresher in scotland. first batch of storms works northwards. as the heat of the day field, we will see another batch of storms across london, wales. very humid conditions. temperatures reaching 30 celsius in eastern areas of england, and that will be the ninth day in summer where we are going over the 30 celsius mark which shows how hot this summer has been. that's all from me. hello. this is bbc news with simon mccoy. the headlines at 3.30pm: the chief inspector of prisons warns that the decline in youth centres in england and wales will make

a "tragedy inevitable". inflation has unexpectedly fallen to 2.6% injune. it's the first fall since october 2016 although prices continue to rise. the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell has said that president trump will sign legislation to repeal obamaca re. it comes after two republican senators refused to back his latest plans. the bbc finds that only a fraction of the money donated to the grenfell tower fire appeal has so far reached survivors or relatives of those who died. the impact of austerity is being blamed for the halt in improvement for life expectancy according to a leading health academic. let's go to the bbc sports centre for the latest. england have reacted well to losing both their openers and remain on course to chase down a relatively modest target to reach the women's cricket world cup final. they need 219 after restricting their opponents to 218 for 6

in their 50 overs in bristol. lauren winfield and tammy beaumont are both out, but england are moving along nicely. the 100 is up. after 2a overs. england defender casey stoney has been ruled out of their opening match of the women's european championship against scotland. stoney wasn't expected to start. but withdrew from training as a precaution with a hamstring injury. the lionesses are tipped to have a strong tournament and will be hoping to improve on their impressive third place at the 2015 world cup. we have had a bronze. we have had a silver. we are after the gold now. it's not going to be an easy task. it's not going to be an easy task. it will be difficult and it will ta ke it will be difficult and it will take a lot. there will be lumps and bumps along the way, but as ta team we're together and it's about pulling together and getting through them hurdles and at the end hopefully it will be worth the

reward. former chelsea captain marcel desailly believesjohn terry can play football for another two seasons at least. he's 36—years—old now and after nearly two decades with the club has joined aston villa on a free transfer and desailly who moved to stamford bridge in the same year terry made his debut was asked how his old teammate's future looks now he's no longer a chelsea player. very good. nobody should blame him because he has gone to another club. i think he still wanted to play football. he's still fit. you can see on his social media. so, and he's going to be the captain that we know and this team will need him and he will show that he can play another two seasons for him to retire peacefully, he has done his duty and maybe come back as a coach because i can see that he's very, very modevated to continue in this business. the head of the spanish football federation has been arrested as part of a corruption investigation. angel maria villar was one of a number of people taken into custody in spain

and it's been reported he was arrested on suspicion of embezzling funds. media reports indicate his son, gorka, has also been detained. villar is also both a fifa and uefa vice president britain'sjohanna konta has told the bbc that she's working towards becoming world number one. the latest rankings have moved her up to four after she reached the semi—finals at wimbledon where she lost to venus williams. konta is the first british woman to reach the last four of at the all england club in 39 years. i have always believed in my own ability. i have always believed i can be at the top of the game. i have always wanted to be at the top of the game. every experience i have had, every step of the way i have just tried to use that to my advantage and to use that in a way thatis advantage and to use that in a way that is only making me better and i'm really enjoying myjourney. i feel that i'm trying to maximise every day and i think i'm doing that

95% of the time. great britain have two athletes through to the final of the men's 200 metre t54 at the world para athletics championships in london richard chiassaro finished third in his heat to grab one of the automatic qualification spots for tonight's final. team—mate nathan maguire finished fourth in his heat and looked to have missed out. but a disqualification has seen him sneak in. britain's sammi kinghorn, who already has one gold in the t53 200 metres, came second in her 400 metres heat to reach tomorrow night's final. that's all sport for now. more now on a report by the chief inspector of prisons, peter clarke, which has found a decline in safety and standards at youth custody centres. joining me from our westminster studio is peter dawson, director of the prison reform trust. peter, good afternoon to you. good afternoon. he uses the word,

"staggering" in terms of the decline. he says that things are going to become desperate and a tragedy is inevitable. even having talked about these reports for yea rs, talked about these reports for years, this seems to indicate something has gone horribly wrong? well, it is a shocking report across all prisons, not just well, it is a shocking report across all prisons, notjust those holding children, but distressing in relation to children and there has been a sharp decline. it's unquestionably true that the number of children in custody has fallen very sharply and that's a good thing. so the children who are in custody represent a more difficult group of people than the service may have been used to in the past, but what happens is that people lose confidence and then you get into a spiral. people need to get their confidence back and there are two things that could happen quickly to do that. the first is that the government is sitting on a report from the now chair of the youth justice board which talks about the

recruitment and the support and training of people who work in young offenders institutions and how that can be improved. well, that is an immediate investment and the second thing is that the chair of the youth justice board charlie taylor said we smud move to a system of smaller institutions closer to home. and that these need to be piloted and the government needs to tell us when those pilots will start. so, between the lines, we are talking about money? well, we are talking about money? well, we are talking about money in relation to children and having institutions which are smaller and better staffed. but charlie taylor would say there are still more children in custody than there need to bement there are still children going to custody for short sentences who could be dealt with in the community and there are routes into custody for example from residential care in some settings, children are more likely to go to prison than in others. so there is room for the best to be the model for everybody. but yes, in relation to children these are deeply troubled young

people and it costs a lot of money to get them back on to the straight and narrow and not to graduate into the adult system. peter, i know you have heard this argument many times before. a lot of people say look, prison is there for a reason. there isa prison is there for a reason. there is a punishment as pect to this. there isn't a lot of sympathy for these young people? well, people are being punished. there is no question that prison achieves its purpose of punishment, but we have a decision, do we want to try and intervene in these lives so we are not seeing people for the next decade, next 15, next 20 years costing us £35,000 or £40,000 a year in adult prisons and everything that we see in those prisons which is making them places where people's lives get worst, not better. that's a practical decision for us to take. there is no question that prison punishes and for teenagers, we should get our heads round the fact that punishment needs to be swift and certain, but not prolonged that doesn't work with teenagers and it doesn't deter.

these are impulsive young people who are still growing up and we need to help them to lives which will contribute to society and not cause it harm. in the perfect world, would you rather see more better smaller units, nearer to young offenders homes where they can still serve a sentence or would you ratherjudges, stop sending so many to prison? well, it's both. thejudiciary must operate within the framework that parliament sets and there are sadly offences which are so serious that prison is the right punishment. we should think hard about how long sentences for the most serious offences need to be. but where people don't have to be in prison we know that dealing with the problems in the community has a better long—term outcome than sending people to prison. so, it's a pragmatic view. it's not a question of being hard or soft or tough. it's just about reaching the best outcome for all of us. when peter clarke says in his words

a tragedy is inevitable, what do you think he means? well, tragedies are happening every day. we know that children are coming to harm and in the adult system the number of people dying has reached extraordinary levels. now, very many of those people have started their journey to that life in a young offenders institutions. so the tragedy is all around us. it's not that there is some era in the past where prisons were doing everything in the past that we wanted, but it has deteriorated. it should make us think hard about who we send to prison and how long we send them for. it is no longer a question of more resources or organisational changes, it is a fundamental issue about what we want our prisons to be asked to do in the first place. peter dawson, thank you very much for your time this afternoon. theresa may has told conservative mps to end what she called the "backbiting" over disagreements within the party. the prime minister urged for

discussions in the cabinet to be kept private after a series of lea ks. earlier i spoke to our chief political correspondent vicki young, and asked her what she thought was happening. theresa may of course knows that she has been weakened by that general election result and so there is speculation about a future leadership contest. there is speculation about what kind of brexit the uk is going to have and that is all mixed together in a cocktail shall we say of a lot of gossip going on around westminster. now after last week's cabinet meeting versions of it appeared in the sunday newspapers, what theresa may is hoping today after these words to her colleagues is that the same thing won't happen again this weekend. she has said that she wants to have an open style of policy discussion. she thinks that means there are better decisions made by the government, but she said that cabinet colleagues cannot have those discussions with they are not private and she said that the shenanigans over the last weekend basically mean that some cabinet colleagues have not been taking their responsibilities seriously. so this is a call for unity.

it's very clear that she wants them to go off on holiday, have a nice lie down and come back and be much better behaved. just how likely is that vicki young? i think it's quite unlikely actually simon. i think where we are at the moment is they know that she is weakened. really the thing that is focussing their minds maybe and bringing some unity is the prospect of another general election which most tory mps do not want. they fear that labour, jeremy corbyn, might well win that. others though look at the situation and say you cannot keep theresa may there. she is weakened. everyone knows she is going to go sooner or later and it might as well be sooner and let's move on. i don't think we are quite at the stage of full blown leadership contest, but once we come back in the autumn, once they all get together at their conference in october, then, of course, anything could happen. vicki young. relatives of a woman shot dead by police, in minneapolis, are demanding more information about why she died. justine damond, an australian living

in the us, made an emergency call on saturday night to report a disturbance near her home. she was shot by one of the responding officers. tom donkin reports. a cry for help that went horribly wrong. shortly before midnight on saturday, police in minneapolis received a report about a possible sexual assault. 40—year—old justine damond made the emergency call, explaining the crime was under way in an alleyway close to her home in a quiet suburb of the city. two officers arrived and shortly after, one of them draws their weapon, fires, hits and killsjustine. how and why she was shot dead remains a mystery. police have said little. except that the incident was tragic and they are investigating. thank you to those of you who are here. justine damond was due to be married in august. she is an australian who moved away from family in sydney to be with herfiance in minnesota. they all are now grieving their sudden loss.

justine was a beacon to all of us. we only ask that the light ofjustice shine down on the circumstances of her death. the death ofjustine is a loss to everyone who knew her. she touched so many people with her loving heart. she was a teacher to so many, living a life of openness, love and kindness. as her loved ones mourned her death, they also pressed police to reveal more information about why body cameras worn by the officers were not turned on during the incident. a call echoed by the city's mayor. i have a lot of questions about why the body cameras weren't on, questions that i hope and anticipate will be answered in the next few days. and i share those questions with the community. the two officers who responded to the 911 call have now been placed on leave.

in a tweet, their chief of police says she has asked for an accelerated investigation so that answers can be provided quickly to help many come to terms with this heartbreaking tragedy. buying a knife over the internet is set to become more difficult under new government proposals which aim to restrict children's access to weapons. customers in england and wales would be required to collect their purchase in person and show id. a similar proposal is already being considered in scotland. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, has more. this is the sharp end of the battle against knife crime in britain. police in birmingham make yet another stop and find yet another knife. without good reason, it is illegal to carry anything bigger than a three—inch penknife. but these are the sorts of knives police in london have found or had handed in, including a so—called zombie knife, shown here to the home secretary.

why? iagree. absolutely. it's illegal to buy a knife if you are under 18. 16 in scotland. but some young people are getting them delivered. the plan is to change the law so knives purchased have to be picked up in person with id. some types of knives cannot even be sold or passed around. police may also get stronger powers to seize them. we want to make sure that we extend the power of police to take away these dangerous knives and to make them less available to young people, so we can start to break that cycle of danger and violence that is so blighting communities. after all, police reported knife crime has started rising. scotland is already considering the changes proposed today in england and wales. this young man did not suffer a serious injury, despite being stabbed, but every knife on the streets can result in at least one life lost. two ancient human skulls have been

found wrapped in carrier bags and a few hundred yards apart in devon. the discovery was made in the town of totnes yesterday. police say they don't know where the skulls came from, but initial tests suggest they from a man and a woman and are believed to be up to 100—years—old. they're not currently treating it as a criminal investigation. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first the headlines on bbc news: the government says the safety of young people in custody is a priority after the chief inspector of prisons warns a tragedy is inevitable. inflation is now at 2.6% the first fall since october, but prices are still rising faster than wages. president trump supports plans for the us senate to repeal president obama's health care system despite

it agreeing on a replacement. in the business news: inflation has fallen for the first time since october to 2.6%. but prices are still rising faster than wages. inflation has gone up sharply since britain voted to leave the eu — partly because the pound fell — which makes it more expensive to buy goods from abroad. adverts that show men messing up household tasks, leaving women to do the cleaning up, could soon be banned by the advertising watchdog. it's cracking down on ads that peddle stereotypical gender roles. it says says these ads create "costs for the economy and society". car insurance premiums have gone up at their fastest rate for five years, according to the industry. they're around 11% more expensive than they were last year. that means the average policy now costs around £484 a year.

this could put pressure on the government to scrap plans, which would boost pay—outs to accident victims, but also raise premiums. fighting cancer can be a real battle, but it shouldn't define who you are and what you can do. but the charity mcmillan says that's exactly what's happening to cancer patients — and survivors — who want to travel. insurance can cost them more than £1,000 compared to the average cost of £37. some people are denied travel insurance altogether even though their diagnosis was years ago. joining us now is lynda thomas, she's the boss of macmillan cancer support. what's behind this? problem with sound

t—comes to buying travel insurance. as you said our new research launched today is showing that. i think this is really happening because the insurance industry perhaps hasn't caught up with what is actually happening to patients once they have had a cancer diagnosis. so rather than treating everybody exactly the same, we're asking insurers to treat people personally and to ask them much more about their cancer before deciding what their premium needs to be. as you said, if i went in and got travel insurance my cover would be about £37 for a year. somebody who had a cancer diagnosis, that goes up to £133. in some instances that is very much more than that. just talk me through the process of what it's like for somebody with cancer who has survived cans tore get travel insurance? the first thing to say often when you have been through a really difficult period of your life, one of the things you want to do is you want to go away on holidays and cancer patients are no

different. it really is very difficult for cancer patients who will have to answer some very intrusive questions. at best, there will be questions about what happens to them during their treatment and they will be able to say i have come out of the other side now. but at worst, if somebody‘s cancer is incurable and that doesn't mean to say that people can't live for very long periods of time quite well, they will be asked really difficult questions like "do you know when you're going to die? how many months do you have have left to live?" ‘s a really emotionally difficult thing for people 20 to do which means that people decide not to go on holidays or in some instances to travel uninsured because theyjust can't face the process. is it face the process. isita face the process. is it a question then of educating the travel insurance companies? yes, i think that's a lot to do with it actually and i think in some ways putting cancer patients and insurers together with answer some of the questions because there is nothing like asking somebody to talk through what has happened to them and

actually looking at the processes that you have in place to help have a better process. and the financial conduct authority have asked for this to happen, so they have launched a sector—wide review into this where they want to understand what better happens to people. just so that they can actually advice insurers on how to deal with this. so we are saying to members of the general public, if you have had an issue around travel insurance, get in touch with us at macmillan so we can tell your story for you and the fca are asking insurers and providers to get in touch with them so they can understand it from the provider point of view as well. linda, thank you very much indeed. netflix says it now has about 104 million subscribers — half of them outside its home market of america. it says investing in shows like house of cards and orange is the new black and in new movies — is really paying off. the final design of the new plastic £10 note is going to be unveiled by the boss

of the bank of england, mark carney. this is him with an earlier version. the new note will feature a picture of jane austen and should be available from september. you'll soon be able to judge the punctuality of your train journey to the minute! that's thanks to a shake—up by the industry's trade body. at the moment a train is said to be "on time" if it arrives within ten minutes of the scheduled arrival. but now punctuality will be measured much more tightly. the markets. not performing particularly well. the ftse been giving up its gains. despite the fall in the pound which helps companies sell more overseas. that fall in sterling has happened because the surprise fall in the inflation rate makes it less likely that the bank of england is going to raise interest rates. banking stocks have listen leading the stock market an award winning cheese maker is. offering! 3 regard ef £500 7— —

to track down the thieves who got away with stealing two blocks of cheddar cheese from a country show. richard clothier, a third generation cheddar—maker and managing director of wyke farms in somerset whose cheese was taken explained what happened. my family have been making cheese for hundreds of years. we still make this vintage cheddar to my family's 100—year—old recipe and my grandmother was the first one to write the recipe down and start making the cheese in a really high quality way. so she would have been really proud of us winning awards like this. so it's a fantastic accolade for the whole team at wyke to win a prize like this and so for it to be snatched away from us on saturday night in the middle of the night is a really tough, tough pill to swallow. i hope whoever has stolen it is going to enjoy it as much we do, but i think that there is some conspiracy theories. we're selling cheese into about 160 countries around the world and cheddar is getting really popular.

there is some conspiracy theories because they are prize winning cheeses, won fantastic prizes at a local show maybe they were stolen for some sort of cheese collector for an export market or maybe it's a competitor. but people in the cheese world are really friendly with each other so i doubt it would be a competitor. it's more likely some prankster on the way back from the club in yeovil on saturday night and decided to steal something that was a lot more valuable than they realised it was and hopefully they might return it now. now, if mps in the house of commons disagree they debate, but not in taiwan.

half a month's rain. how much? we could get over half a months worth of rainfall in the space of a couple of hours. because there will be a lot of lightening, we could have power cuts as the lightening continues to threaten the power supplies. heading to to tomorrow morning, the storms will continue theirjourney northwards. outbreaks of rain gather across northern ireland. as the heat of the day builds across england and wales, we will see further storms breaking out, perhaps across wales and northern england. it will be a hot and and northern england. it will be a hotand humid and northern england. it will be a hot and humid day. eastern england could see highs of 31 or 32 making it the ninth day this summer that we have been over the 30 celsius mark. the fresher conditions will be spreading in over the atlantic. there will be outbreaks of rain getting in across northern ireland. the air gets fresher as the day goes by. the temperatures nothing to write home about across western areas, even disappointing for this time of the year, but still across parts of east anglia and south—east
