use the hashtag victoria live and if you text. you will be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today... two people have been killed and around 100 others have been injured on the greek island of kos, during a strong earthquake. the tremor struck under the aegean sea between greece and turkey early this morning. there was also flooding in the turkish resort of bodrum, as a result of a small tsunami. greg dawson has this report for us. after being shaken from their sleep, locals and tourists on the island of kos ran into the streets to see the damage. many holiday makers chose to camp outside their hotels. officials on the island said two people were killed when the ceiling of a building collapsed. most of the injured are not in a serious condition. some were airlifted to the larger island of rhodes for treatment. at 1:30am in the morning, we were woken by a tremendous shaking of the whole building. the fans were thrown around, a mirror came off, lasting approximately 10—15 seconds.

myself, my wife and two children just got our stuff as quick as we could. and, as we made our way out, there was a second shock. tremors that lasted a few minutes were enough to damage buildings that have stood for more than a century. british tourist ricky shah was in his hotel room at the time. it was for about 30 seconds, you could feel the whole room shake. a few bottles fell off, obviously from the night stand, and you couldn't really hear. and then, suddenly, you heard other people kind of... there was a bit of commotion. some children were waking and crying. in the turkish resort of bodrum, these people were at a restaurant when the ground began to shake. the small tsunami triggered by the quake led to localised flooding. authorities report there has been no major damage to the city. but as in kos, the after—shocks

continued. we will keep you updated with that. rachel schofield is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. good morning. first, our main story, air traffic controllers are warning that uk skies are running out of room for record numbers of planes. it comes on what is expected to be the busiest ever day for controllers, with nearly 9,000 flights expected. colletta smith reports. the skies above us could be busier today than they've ever been, as people set off on their summer holidays. air—traffic controllers say they're expecting to handle a record 8,800 flights today, and they're warning it will be their busiest summer yet. nats, which manages uk airspace, is half owned by government and controls air traffic across the uk. they're expecting more than 770,000 flights to cross our skies this summer. that's 40,000 more than last year.

air traffic bosses say they can safely manage the busier skies, but warn passengers of a future risk of regular delays if major changes aren't made to how uk airspace is managed. they want traditional flight paths changed, with more satellite navigation used instead of ground—based radio beacons, to allow aircraft to climb, cruise, and descend more efficiently. the department of transport consulted on changing the way our skies are managed earlier in the year, but they're yet to make an announcement. and it's notjust our skies that will be busier today, the rac is predicting this weekend our roads will see their busiest weekend of the summer. and colletta smithjoins us now — from air traffic control in swa nwick. a great deal of concentration required there today. yes, i am not

getting too close, i do not want to distract the air traffic controllers behind me. these guys are working for heathrow, some of the busiest air space for heathrow, some of the busiest airspace in the for heathrow, some of the busiest air space in the world. talking to pilots and making sure they can take off and land safely. someone who knows about that is frankly not one of the air traffic controllers here, normally sitting in front of one of those screens, watching those lights, does it feel like a big responsibility? rosol used to concentrating on the job, you do not think about it, but off—screen, we know it is a big responsibility and we want to get everybody as quickly as they can and as safely as they can. how many pilots to speak to, how many planes are you in charge of? each sector works about 10-15 aircraft each time and the rooms but so aircraft each time and the rooms but so into how many sectors we need to get how many planes were working. what are you saying to these pilots? how'd you control them? the pilots wa nt how'd you control them? the pilots want to go somewhere. that is how it works. they take off or go somewhere

or they are coming in, works. they take off or go somewhere orthey are coming in, we send works. they take off or go somewhere or they are coming in, we send them where they are going and get their level instructions right so they are at the levels they need to be and the places they need to be at. the right height, basically. so height and turn instructions, and transfer instructions for the next controllers to give them a job. and all the ones crossing have to cross safely and do not have a problem with each other. does it feel like a busy time? we are facing a record day, stuff ready for it? yes, stuff or always ready here, we will take whatever comes, it is definitely one of the busiest summers i have known and we have felt its building up. i am sure july will always be the busiest times we expect for it. am sure july will always be the busiest times we expect for itm is great to know you are always in control when we are taking off and landing in airspace in the uk and what is expected to be an incredibly easy weekend is notjust in the skies, but on the roads as well. when the very much indeed. the former american football star 0j simpson is to be released from prison this autumn

after serving nine years of a 33—year sentence for armed robbery. in 1995, simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex—wife nicole brown simpson and herfriend, turning him into one of the most divisive figures in the country. his parole hearing was broadcast on us television. 0ur los angeles correspondent, james cook, reports. it was the trial of the century, an american superstar accused of stabbing to death his ex—wife and her friend. oj simpson had been arrested after a low—speed car chase across los angeles, broadcast live to a nation in shock. but that's not why he is in prison. oj simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder. he was arrested in la for raiding a hotel room in 2007 to reclaim sporting memorabilia he said was his. nine years later, he appeared before the parole board stating his case for freedom. i've done my time. i've done it as well and as respectfully as anyone can.

if you talk to the wardens, they'll tell you. i gave them my word, i believe in thejury system. i have honoured their verdict. and the parole board accepted that argument. so, based on all of that, mr simpson, i do vote to grant parole when eligible. more than 20 years after his sensational acquittal, it's clear that oj simpson still commands an audience. millions of americans tuned in to his parole hearing. but support may be fading. one recent poll suggests that only 7% of americans now think that the fallen star is not a killer. a year after being questioned by counter—terrorism police for reading a syrian art book on a plane, a british woman says she is being forced to go to court to get an apology. faizah shaheen was reported to authorities by thomson cabin crew on her honeymoon flight to turkey

reading "syria speaks: art and culture from the frontline." thomson say their staff were being vigilant. tolls on the severn bridges will be scrapped for all vehicles by the end of next year. ministers say the decision will boost the region's economy. motorists who regularly use the bridges could save as much as £1400 a year. tributes have been paid to chester bennington, the lead singer of the american rock band linkin park, who has died at the age of 41. # i can't feel you there... the los angeles coroner says he appears to have taken his own life. his bandmates said they were "heartbroken" by the death that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 9:30. thank you very much. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag #victorialive,

he pulled out four birdies. the reason for his improved performance, he says a good talking to from his caddie. i am proud of myself hanging in there. i needed to stay as positive as i could. and i wasn't very positive. my caddiejp, he was a big help today. he was trying to keep me as positive as possible out there and trying to remind me that i have won this thing before, do not feel any pressure, play your game and you will be ok. the last 12 holes, that is what i did and tha nkfully holes, that is what i did and thankfully i am still in this golf tournament. yes, just about. he tees off at 9:48 a:m.. the power of positive thinking! what about the para athletics championships? what a time hannah cockroft is having. she remains undefeated at major competitions. a third gold medal to become a ten—time world champion.

no wonder they call her hurricane hannah! she swept past competition in t34 women's 400m to retain her title. a championship record of 58.3 seconds. that brings britain's tally to 28 medals, including 13 golds, third in the leaderboard behind china and the us. we will speak to some of the athletes later in the show. and finally, can anyone catch chris froome at the tour de france? delicately poised, chris froome isjust three stages away from winning his 4th tour de france. he's the favourite, although his lead was cut by four seconds on stage 18. the battle for the yellow jersey went all the way to the line. romain bardet finished just ahead of froome to claim four bonus seconds. he's now 23 behind froome in the standings. it's the longest stage of the tour today — more than 138 miles — followed by a time trial tomorrow. imagine what that will do to his

legs! so it is going to be interesting. see you later at 9:30 a:m.. thank you very much, see you later. people sexually abused as children by church of england clergy are criticising the close links between the company dealing with their compensation claims and the church. the insurer, ecclesiastical, which has advised the church to settle many compensation claims — has had a string of senior members of the clergy on its board of directors. it isa it is a miserable milestone in the history of child sexual abuse and the church. we are talking about the church of england today. on wednesday, the german church published a report into abuse of choirboys at a school. next week,

the catholic church's most senior official will appear in court proceedings in melbourne. so, a tough week. this particular story concerns the way an individual was treated after he disclosed, and was verified, that he had been the victim of abuse. the case really concerns what happens when an individual who trusted the church, trusted the pastoral leaders of the church, ends up being abused, and then makes a disclosure to the church. what actually happens? well, the church has a pastoral responsibility to that individual. the ongoing care, if you like, of that individual. in this case, the individual you will see in this piece in a moment did not want to break away from the church. at the same time, the church insurer is involved in discussions of a legal nature, in terms of compensation. it

is the clash of those forces that is brought out in this story. let's see that report now. i think, like many survivors and victims, i've struggled through life, i've limped through life. the wounds in me are not obvious, but i'm bipolar, i've had long—term mental health illness, i was a school failure. gilo reflects on a life disfigured by sexual abuse. it was here in this church in the city of london where a young gilo was first abused in the 1970s. as an adult, he tried to tell senior members of the church on at least 20 occasions. the church finally acknowledged his experience two years ago, but instead of emphasising pastoral support, they instructed the church's insurer to negotiate compensation. i think because of the relationship that the church has with the insurers, the pastoral response is so fused with the legal response, so it's really effectively led by insurers.

but the church of england doesn't legally own the insurer, so it's perfectly fine, presumably, for an insurer to give advice? i think when that insurer has got such significant presence of senior clerics on its board across the years, then you're into an area of moral responsibility. ecclesiastical insurance group is the firm that advised the church to settle gilo's case, but it has historical links with the church, founded by bishops and with senior clergy on its board to this day. that, say abuse victims, creates a clear conflict of interest. their view was supported by this man, ian elliott, an internationally—respected expert in child safeguarding who produced a report on gilo's case for the church of england. the advice identified in the report

directly conflicted with those pastoral responsibilities, and i highlighted that. so are you saying there's a tension between the way clergy may want to respond pastorally towards someone making these allegations and the approach that's advocated by the insurance company? on this particular occasion, i absolutely am saying that. john titchener is group compliance director of ecclesiastical insurance group. can you understand why a victim of sexual abuse who might be in litigation with the church of england would be concerned that a senior member of the church was sitting on the board of the insurance company? well, ourjob as an insurer is to handle claims in accordance with our regulatory duties and responsibilities... i understand that, but i'm asking you if you understand the concern that victims of abuse might have when they hear that members

of the board of ecclesiastical are also senior members of the church of england? well, we have one member of the clergy on our board of 11, and nonexecutive directors do not involve themselves in the operational detail of how the business is run. but the composition of ecclesiastical‘s board is not the most damning aspect of the report. ian elliott says that when the church eventually acknowledged gilo's suffering, it was quickly advised to stop talking to him. clearly unacceptable, and i said that, clearly unacceptable. that direction, or that advice, is not compliant with a compassionate pastoral response, which is the stated policy of the church. it's not a secular organisation, it's a church. the church exists on foundational principles. so you're saying the church's focus should be principally driven by its pastoral responsibilities...

absolutely. and not by its legal advice? absolutely. notjust the church of england, but any church. john titchener of ecclesiastical insurance. why did ecclesiastical insurance advise the bishop handling this case to cut off all communications with the victim? well, you're quoting from the elliott review... iam. we were not asked to participate in the elliott review, and had we been asked we would have provided the information that we have. the bishop of bath and wells, peter hancock, is now the most senior clergyman responsible for safeguarding issues, and strongly disagrees with the church's insurer. would it surprise you to learn that ecclesiastical insurance group rejects the findings of the elliott review? i'd want to take an entirely different position to that. the archbishop very clearly, in a very determined way, accepted all those recommendations, and one of my roles as the lead

bishop for safeguarding is to make sure that those recommendations are monitored and evaluated and, more importantly, acted upon. another place, another time, the same complaint. at kendall house in kent, a church of england home for young girls, residents were found to have been drugged and assaulted. a settlement was reached with some victims by lawyers from the church's insurers, ecclesiastical. theresa cooper was one of the victims. i think there needs to be an investigation into the ecclesiastical insurance company and the church of england, and the way their solicitors are dealing with legal cases. they're too involved with the church of england, you know. even if they're not legally part of it, the church are without a doubt fully involved in the ecclesiastical insurance company. without a doubt. in my case they certainly were. again, we put theresa cooper's allegations tojohn titchener of ecclesiastical insurance. in fact, there is an investigation

into exactly that through the independent inquiry, which we're participating in, and in fact we gave evidence last november where we spoke about how we handle sensitive claims of this nature, and we received plaudits at it for how we approach these claims. you're not receiving plaudits from the individual survivors. they are accusing you of impeding the pastoral process. you are saying they are not telling the truth? well, no, as i say, the report is based on factual inaccuracies, and we have been absolutely clear before and after that pastoral care and counselling can, and should, continue in parallel with an insurance claim. gilo wants the church to learn from his appalling experience. he says it must change the relationship with its insurer, removing members of clergy from its board. but any such change will now come too late for him. i've seen a side of the church

that is ugly, that is silencing, that is self preserving, that is reluctant to really embrace and engage with very key, critical issues. i don't have much faith in the church, that's for sure. that is gilo finishing that report. now we can speak to the bishop of buckingham, the right reverend alan wilson. thank you forjoining us. do you believe that legal advice can be in conflict with the pastoral role of the church? yes. i think it is a very odd relationship with anybody if it is conducted entirely through lawyers. imagine if my relationship with my next door neighbour was conducted through lawyers, it would

become a very weird relationship very quickly indeed. i am a pastor, thatis very quickly indeed. i am a pastor, that is what i was ordained to be. my that is what i was ordained to be. my sense is that we need to begin with survivors and their experiences. notjust because we should be nice to survivors, but if you read the parable of the good samaritan, you don't walk by, you stop and help the person bleeding in the road. that should be our primary concern. when you hear gilo saying he has seen a side of the church thatis he has seen a side of the church that is silencing of self preserving, what do you think?|j think preserving, what do you think?” think that side of the churches there and we need to do something about it. how large a part of the church do you think it is? this is humans we are talking about, as you have described, who are there because they want to help, presumably, other humans?” because they want to help, presumably, other humans? ithink that there is a kind of culture and the latest report talks about the cultural difference in the church. imaginei

cultural difference in the church. imagine i had a complaint against my local police force in thames valley, and the only way i could complain would be to go personally to see the chief constable, who then controlled all of the information, all of the complaint and handle this from thereon in. without an independent safeguarding authority, you know, with the right and ability to do its job properly, i don't see how we are going to shift this mess. it has been a long time coming, hasn't it? 0ver been a long time coming, hasn't it? over the years there have been so many cases of people accused within the church who have not been treated —— people abused within the church you have not been treated as they should have been, and this seems to have been a greater desire to protect members of the clergy than help those that have suffered? that is gilo's experience and he is not alone. as a bishop, we need to take that seriously and do something about it. just hand—wringing and hoping you can just generate a load of apologies and that will be a substitute for doing anything about

it, it really isn't. if you are sorry for something, you need to do something about it, notjust tell everybody how sorry you are and hope it will go away. do you have faith something will change?” it will go away. do you have faith something will change? i think there are something will change? i think there a re lots of something will change? i think there are lots of signs that are positive. certainly, the music that is coming out of the church now is that it wa nts to ta ke out of the church now is that it wants to take safeguarding much more seriously than was the case in the past. there is also a message that that was then, this is now. i don't think that is true. i think a lot of the attitudes, the culture and problems that gilo experienced are still things that happen in church. i think we need to do something about them. when you say it is still things that happen in church, as in in terms of historical cases of abuse being treated this way, all these things are still happening?” think both. i think the culture is still very active. the culture of deference, of protecting the institution. the world of ecclesiastical lawyers has a very small world. the first thing bishops do when somebody alleges something as thrown of the registrar, who is a

lawyer, and ask him what to do. all of these things distort the process, as does the involvement of the insurance business. that is a thing that gilo is particularly energised about. there is a big culture there. i think we need to have an independent safeguarding authority. it needs to have the ability to do itsjob properly. we also need, and this is church policy, actually, statutory reporting so that it becomes an offence not to report. another aspect of this is the way that people don't say. i had a case of domestic abuse in a vicarage a few years ago where the churchwarden knew what was going on but didn't report anything until the person had moved. we have got to tackle that problem and get people to report when they know there is something anomalous going on so that something can be done about it. it is a big cultural problem. i think the next step has to be to have a truly independent safeguarding authority,

with competence in the authority to tackle this problem head—on. with competence in the authority to tackle this problem head-on. martin, two very clear suggestions, an independent safeguarding authority and statutory reporting. are they things that are likely to happen? the church of england, interestingly enough, has issued a statement saying, quote, the church of england is absolutely committed to its pastoral support to alleged victims and survivors, published new guidance in 2015. they emphasised that the management process needs to be kept separate from legal and insurance responses. the statement goes on to say that the pastoral needs of survivors must never be neglected. i think it has to be conceded that the church of england has changed the way that it manages these incidents, incidents of disclosure. there is now a bishop who is the head of safeguarding, the bishop of bath and wells. every diocese has a dedicated leader. every member of the clergy is

trained in safeguarding issues. there has been a revolutionary change. the issue that bishop alan mentions is the question that many people have, should the process of managing safeguarding be done by the church itself? bishop alan says no, so does gilo. a question put to me by somebody recently was this. if a member of kensington and chelsea council was found also to be a nonexecutive director on a cladding company, would people feel that was a conflict of interest? that is a very stark and dramatic parallel. i think the answer is that people would object to that. thank you both very much. still to come, we will be speaking to the british woman who says she has been forced to go to court to get an apology after she was questioned by counterterrorism police for reading a syrian art book ona police for reading a syrian art book on a plane. and i have done my time, former american football star and

actor 0j former american football star and actor oj simpson asks for parole after serving nine years for armed robbery. he has got it. we will speak to his former defence lawyer. rachel schofield is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. good morning. two people have been killed and around 100 others have been injured on the greek island of kos, during a strong earthquake. the tremor struck under the aegean sea between greece and turkey early this morning. there was also flooding in the turkish resort of bodrum, as a result of a small tsunami. 0ur turkey correspondent mark lowen has been giving us the latest. from the greek island of lesbos not farfrom from the greek island of lesbos not far from the from the greek island of lesbos not farfrom the epicentre from the greek island of lesbos not far from the epicentre of the quake which was between kos and bodrum, it was quite a large quake, 6.7, and was quite a large quake, 6.7, and was a fairly shallow quake. it was just over six miles deep into the aegean sea. it has caused at least

two dead on the greek island of kos, one of those we understand is an elderly turkish citizen, one of swedish origin, and dozens more injured, five of them seriously injured. some of them have been airlifted to the larger island of rhodes. there was structural damage in kos, the ceiling of a bar collapsed and some of the buildings collapsed. and there were large waves which were felt on both bodrum and kos. both greece and turkey are active. seismically active countries. they are both on significant fault lines. there was a major earthquake in turkey six years ago that killed 700 people in the east of the country and in 1999, earthquakes and turkey killed 20,000 people and one in greece killed 143 people. air traffic controllers expect be the busiest on record for flights air traffic controllers expect be

the busiest on record forflights in and out of the uk. 8800 flights are scheduled over the 24—hour period as families with school—age children begin their summer holidays. the national traffic services has warned the skies above the uk are nearing full capacity and says the government must invest to provide support for the levels of traffic expected over the next decade. the government will tell landowners that farm subsidies will have to be earned in future, rather than just handed out. the environment secretary, michael gove, is due to say that farmers will only get taxpayers' money if they agree to protect the environment and enhance rural life. the move is part of what he calls his vision for a "green brexit". that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 10:00. thank you very much. here's some sport now. this isjessica. this is jessica. good this isjessica. good morning. the second round of the open is underway at royal birkdale. leading briton paul casey has dropped two shots this morning,

all the headlines for now, see you at ten o'clock. thanks very much. a year after being questioned by counter terrorism police for reading a syrian art book on a plane, a british woman says she is being forced to go to court to get an apology. faizah shaheen was reported to authorities by thomson cabin crew on her honeymoon flight to turkey. thomson say their staff were being vigilant. let's talk to faizah shaheen. and also here isjo glanville, who's from the free speech organization english pen, which funded the book faizah was reading. thank you both very much. this is the book, you are reading it ona this is the book, you are reading it on a flight, what happened?” this is the book, you are reading it on a flight, what happened? i was on my way to my honeymoon in turkey and i was recommended this book in a literature festival so i started reading it in the uk and decided to finish it on the flights to turkey. whilst i was reading it, a cabin crew member saw me reading the book and recorded me to the counterterrorism police. did you know immediately that had happened?

did they approach you? no, they did not approach me, nothing suggested on the flight they had any concerns about me reading this book. nothing at all. what was the first that happened? the first was when i returned after my two week holiday to the uk and i was queueing up in passport control to find two anti—terrorism police officers waiting for me. what did they say? they approached me and they asked me, they had to do a routine check, they said it was regarding a book reported by a member of the cabin crew. what happened? i was taken in for questioning. i was given a leaflet. the explainer was being questioned under the schedule seven terrorism act which clearly said i had no rights and i had and to the questions and divided not, it would be detained. at that point, i knew i had not done anything wrong so i happily went with the police

officers to be questioned. my husband was with me and when they realised he was my husband, they took him alongside. how long did the questioning go on? approximately half an hour. they asked me about the book and what it was regarding, what languages i speak, the purpose of my trip, i said it was my honeymoon. what i do for a living, a lot of questions. they were reassured i was safe. and on what you do for a living, you have worked with prevent? yes, part of my role less you in the nhs was safeguarding children at risk of being radicalised. so i would work with prevent and sit on a panel to work around mental health, children at risk of being radicalised. that is pa rt risk of being radicalised. that is part of my role. it sounds like it was a situation dealt with quite quickly. but now a year later, you are seeking, you want to go to court to getan are seeking, you want to go to court

to get an apology. why? after my experience last year, i wrote a complaint to thomson and they did not respond. it was only when i made my appearance on channel 4 that they responded with the minimal response, saying they were sorry about the way i felt and they have to be vigilant. after that, i took legal advice and decided to approach this with a legal claim and the equality act. what they say is... thomson said they are really sorry if faizah shaheen remains unhappy with the way she was treated. they said they wrote to her to explain that all crew undergo general safety and security awareness training on a regular basis. they added: as part of this, they are encouraged to be vigilant and share any information or questions with the relevant authorities. we appreciate that in this instance, ms shaheen may have felt that over caution had been exercised, however like all airlines, our crew are trained to report any concerns they may have as a precaution."

most people watching would think, thatis most people watching would think, that is understandable. we are in dangerous times. there are security concerns and is it not better to be safe tha n concerns and is it not better to be safe than sorry? i completely understand it is security that is important and understand it is security that is importantandi understand it is security that is important and i would want to make sure security is thoroughly done. we have discussed this earlier. but it is that sense of proportion. what could have been done instead of taking the extreme measure of reporting me to the anti—terrorism police, just simply speaking to me and asking me what the book was regarding and is taking me aside. if the cabin crew was concerned and liked education about what this book was about, it would be more appropriate, i think, was about, it would be more appropriate, ithink, to was about, it would be more appropriate, i think, to take me aside and trust me rather than take me to counterterrorism police officers. that puts a big burden on the crew on a plane to deal with a

situation they may feel vulnerable around after being trained to look out for things of concern potentially and to report them. they we re potentially and to report them. they were just following the orders they had. this comes down to the bigger picture. no one should ever be detained and questioned under the terrorism act for reading a book. we have freedom of expression and i was reading about syrian art and culture and that was misjudgement on the cabin crew members part for her to rip port was in the first place was not appropriate. jo, faizah was questioned and feels strongly about the way everything has happened, but no harm came of it? and is it better there is vigilance rather than not? there are a number of issues here, for faizah to be pursuing this a year later shows the level of distress it has caused. it was her honeymoon and it was effectively ruined by finding herself on the way back to being questioned under the terrorism act, which is terrorism ——

terrifying experience for anyone. there is a fundamental issue about freedom of expression. freedom of expression means the freedom to read as well as the freedom to write. and you would expect in a free society, open society, that we can read whatever we like in our homes, and public transport, anywhere. and that what we are reading should never be used as evidence of some kind of criminal intent. except for if somebody were reading something that we re somebody were reading something that were evidence of criminal intent. i'd do not think reading in itself can ever be used of evidence of cruel intent, how can it be? what if it isa cruel intent, how can it be? what if it is a manual on how to put something together, a device, all sorts of things? it's completely depends on context and what else might be happening? you might be reading a manual because you are researching it and doing a ph.d. at university. and we have some years

ago seen a case of somebody detained under the terrorism act for downloading and al-qaeda manual for his research. what we are seeing is we have to look at this in a much more wide context. we have seen other incidents, exhibitions and plays cancelled. 0ther incidents that show a real lack of proportion and a real lack of common sense. and i think we all understand we are living in a time of great anxiety and fearand we living in a time of great anxiety and fear and we have had horrific terrorist incidents in this country since this incident happened to faizah a year ago. everyone appreciates airlines have to be vigilant. we all want the police and airlines to be vigilant. they have also got to use a sense of proportion and common—sense. i think the fact that thomson did not apologise to faizah and do not appear to have addressed their training in any kind of way means that anyone getting any flight on theirsummer that anyone getting any flight on their summer holiday might be packing the arabian nights to read

to their children, the arabic dictionary, they might want to educate themselves about iraq, do they have the think, i will be questioned by police under the terrorism act because i am carrying a book the cabin crew thinks is indicative of some kind of suspicious action? thank you both very much. and i did mention that statement from thomson saying that they are sorry if she is unhappy, but they were basically following procedures. coming up: the campaign to bring down the price of the morning after pill — one leading pharmacy charges £28 for it, whilst others charge others charge £13.50, we'll find out why it's so expensive. the former american football star 0j simpson is to be released from prison this autumn after serving nine years of a 33 year sentence for armed robbery. the 70—year—old was approved for release by a parole board last night. he has been serving time for armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and ten overcharges awake ——

ofa weapon and ten overcharges awake —— of a confrontation in 2007 at a las vegas hotel. in 1995, simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex—wife nicole brown simpson and herfriend. i've done my time, i've done it as respectfully as anybody can. the wardens will tell you i gave them my word, i believe in thejury system, i have honoured their verdict. we'll hear from i have honoured their verdict. we'll hearfrom a former i have honoured their verdict. we'll hear from a former defence lawyer for 0j hear from a former defence lawyer for oj simpson, but this is a quick reminder of his legal history. i've always thought i've been pretty good with people. i have basically spent a conflict—free life. it's no disguise.

it makes no sense. it doesn't fit. if it doesn't fit, you must acquit. in the matter of the people of the state of california versus 0renthal james simpson, we the jury in the above entitled action find the defendant 0renthaljames simpson not guilty of the crime of murder in violation of penal code section 187a, a felony on nicole brown simpson. we assess punitive damages against 0renthaljames simpson in favour of the plaintiff, louis brown as follows and we are looking for the amount. $12.5 million. $12.5 million for both parties. something we wanted to hear since two and a half years. i'm sorry.

i didn't mean to steal anything from anybody and i didn't know i was doing anything illegal. i thought i was confronting friends and retrieving my property. i'm not here to try and cause any retribution or any payback for anything else. i spent nine years making no excuses about anything. i am sorry that things turned out the way they did. so on behalf of my family, we just want him to come home. i don't feel that he's a threat to anyone out there. he's a good man. it's time to give him a second chance. my vote is to grant your parole effective when eligible. applause

early i spoke to 0j simpson's former defence lawyer. what is your reaction to the fact that he's got parole after serving nine years of that 33—year sentence for armed robbery? i was pleased for him. i was disappointed in the sentence itself when it was handed down, i thought it was extremely harsh. any other person similarly situated would have received what we call probation in the united states, would not have received a nine to 33.5—year prison sentence. i know for a fact when his parole hearing in 2013 he was a low risk to reoffend, and i expected, because his behaviour was good for the last four years, nothing would have really significantly changed on the risk assessment factors that we use here in nevada to assess whether an inmate should be released to the community, that he was deserving of the parole. when you say any other person would have effectively been treated differently, you are saying, are you saying he has had different treatment

because of the fact he is oj simpson and all of the baggage that comes with that? absolutely. he was sentenced more harshly than anybody would have been. 9.5 years, if you or i, joanna, had walked into the hotel and done the same thing with the same criminal history, we would have gotten probation. every other person with him in the room received probation, except for the man who went to trial with him that went to prison, but when he took his case to the nevada supreme court, the nevada supreme court said that mr simpson's notoriety bled over so harshly that it infected thejury, and he was released from prison. so mr simpson's sentence was much harsher than any other person's, like i said, similarly situated. i've been practising criminal defence work in nevada for the last 20 years, i've never seen a sentence like that handed down. but he was a model inmate, to his credit. he kept his head down, he did every class that was available to him, and successfully completed them. i was recently elected to the nevada legislature, and that letter that was read to the parole board was a letter

he wrote to me a few months back, not requesting special treatment for him, he wasn't requesting money on his books or to contact someone on the outside, he was requesting money to the nevada prison system to help educate inmates, because he saw first—hand how self—esteem went up when people were educated, he saw that they had hope for the future when they were educated, and he wanted the assembly, the government, to help provide some funding for education for inmates so that people coming into the system after him would receive a benefit. his eldest daughter told the court at this hearing, "as a family, we know he is not the perfect man, but the last nine years he has been the perfect inmate and made the best of the situation." what you're talking about there feeds into that sentiment, obviously. how would you describe him, how would you sum him up? the mr simpson that i met, i first was introduced to him in 2012, he is gregarious, he's charming. he's a very nice man,

he was cooperative the entire time, he's very charismatic, he was articulate and able to communicate with us. he was a wonderful person to deal with. i've had worse clients to deal with, i can tell you. what do you think life is going to be like for him once he gets out? there is a survey out today which indicates that nearly all americans think he did kill nicole brown simpson, very controversialjudgment at the time and, as you said, it's sort of dogged him ever since, what happened then. how will he be outside now? it's going to be an adjustment period for him. most inmates that are in there for more than a few years are acclimated to the system, they're used to the lights going on and off at a certain time, they're used to being fed at a certain time, so he's going to have to almost relearn how

to do things for himself. a lot of inmates are surprised when they can turn on their own lights, be fed at any time they want, to be able to eat different foods and not just what somebody gives them. i think he'll adjust better than most, mainly because he has good family support. his sister is still around, she lives in california, his four children live in florida, i think he would prefer to be able to move to florida. in the united states, you are allowed to travel but once you are an inmate and released on parole you have to apply for what we call the interstate compact clause and the state you want to travel to must accept... sorry to interrupt, obviously you're talking about being institutionalised as a result of having been inside and adjusting as a result of that. i mean, a man of such notoriety, how will it be for him once he comes out? 0h, very... you know, if i could talk to him, i would tell him, "just keep your head down, stay at home, don't go out." he's not the favourite person in the public no matter where he goes,

people treat him poorly no matter where he goes, so he's probably going to want to just stay home and be with his family, and hopefully that will be in florida for him. i want to read you a couple of comments on that interview with the lady who was questioned after reading a book about syria on a flight. reading a book about syria on a flight. 0ne says that she agrees, she should not be questioned on this. another, this is beyond belief. what would happen if i took my copy of the koran to read on a plane? mixed comments. thank you for those. the emergency contraceptive pill, also known as the morning after pill, is taken to prevent an unwanted pregnancy after unprotected sex. but it comes at a cost. despite being available for free through a gp, in some pharmacies it can cost nearly £30 to buy. the british pregnancy advisory

service has called on boots, superdrug and tesco to cut the cost. the emergency contraceptive called levonelle costs £28.25 in boots. but now, tesco has cut the cost of exactly the same product to £13.50. superdrug is also offering a generic version of the same product for £13.49. let's talk to hannah ewans, a junior editor at vice who has written about her personal experiences of buying the morning after pill. also clare murphy from the british pregnancy advisory service who has called for the change in the cost. and drjane dickson, a consultant in sexual and reproductive healthca re, specializing in contraception. thank you all for coming in. before we talk specifically around what is happening with the cost of the morning after pill, tell us more about you. you have taken it and written about it, you have effectively been campaigning for the price to be lowered? tell us what

your experiences have been? basically, when you are a teenager, there is no way you're going to be able to afford for the morning after pill. if you are from a small town where there are not many chemists, you are going around pharmacies trying to get a pharmacy that will have somebody in that can give it to you. you have to have a consultation to get it for free. sometimes you will get somewhere and find that the farm assist you are supposed to be seeing is not actually in. it is sort of a chase against time, going around different pharmacies. it is basically really stressful and a nightmare. when the story came up in the press, it was something that really interested me. i remembered being that teenage girl when i was younger. you can get it free from yourgp? younger. you can get it free from your gp? yes, the trouble is, you're going to have to take time off school, potentially, time off work. 0ften school, potentially, time off work. often a re school, potentially, time off work. often are using up a slot, an emergency appointment slot that could have been given to somebody

else. even if you try to get an emergency appointment, you might not be able to get one. are there other reasons why kids might not want to go? potentially having to talk to theirgp go? potentially having to talk to their gp about it might be a daunting thing? is that a factor? yes, there was a big study in 2014 that showed that 11% of british women actually felt too embarrassed to actually get the morning after pill. that put them off going at all. they kind ofjust went com pletely all. they kind ofjust went completely without. clare, the british pregnancy advisory service has been calling for the price to come down. some shops are now selling it at effectively half the price that is being charged that the higher end. what do you think should be the position with the morning after pill? how easy should it be to get and how cheap should it be?” think it should be really accessible for women. i think women need rapid access to emergency contraception when their regular method fails. many women in this country are

reliant on user dependent methods like condom is, pills, which can frequently fail or be forgotten. they need to be able to access emergency contraception. but they can do that through their gp? they can do that through their gp? they can do that through their gp? they can do it through their gp, but we have talked about the problems with teenagers accessing this, but in our service we see tens of thousands of women every year with unwanted pregnancy. often it is women in their 205 pregnancy. often it is women in their205 and pregnancy. often it is women in their 205 and 305 who do not have their 205 and 305 who do not have the time. they have childcare commitments, working re5pon5e abilitie5. they don't have the time to get to their gp. actually, it is not a good use of their time or the doctor'5 time. this is a very, very 5afe, doctor'5 time. this is a very, very safe, effective medication that 5hould safe, effective medication that should be readily available through pharmacies. we are really delighted to see that superdrug, te5co, taken the initiative to provide women with a more affordable product and we really hope that boot5 follow suit because the situation is not tenable. dr jane because the situation is not tenable. drjane dickson, what are your thoughts on how available it

should be and how much it should cost? one thing we know about the emergency contraceptive pill is that it is incredibly 5afe. emergency contraceptive pill is that it is incredibly safe. i very much 5upport ea5ier it is incredibly safe. i very much 5upport easier access to it. in fa ct, 5upport easier access to it. in fact, we would support free provi5ion fact, we would support free provision of emergency contraception. it is also available widely in sexual health clinics, family planning clinic5, free of charge. also, people have the anonymity. if they don't want their gp to know about it. one thing i would say is that it is very, very 5afe, would say is that it is very, very safe, but it isn't the most effective form of emergency contraception. is there an element of the consultation around it being not just necessarily about of the consultation around it being notjust necessarily about how of the consultation around it being not just necessarily about how safe it is to take, but why someone is in the position of taking it? are they being responsible around contraception, are they making the right decisions in what they are doing? i don't think we talk about

re5pon5ibility, doing? i don't think we talk about responsibility, i think it is more about women being safe and adequately protected. long acting, reversible contraception, thing5 like the iud, i5 reversible contraception, thing5 like the iud, is more effective. the emergency coil is a much more effective form of emergency contraception than the pill. but i think we would definitely 5upport contraception than the pill. but i think we would definitely support it being more widely available at a cheaper cost, because it is an incredibly 5afe medication. cheaper cost, because it is an incredibly safe medication. you wa nted incredibly safe medication. you wanted to come in on the point about responsibility around contraception? yes, regardless of why a woman needs to use it, they should have it free and easy. but the thing is, i know from the women i have spoken to, from the women i have spoken to, from my own personal experience, that it from my own personal experience, thatitis from my own personal experience, that it is often not a case of you being irresponsible. it is a case of maybe the condom has broken, maybe you have just missed a pill by accident. maybe it is even that you are having side—effects from your

normal contraception and you are trying and having breaks from different contraception. i don't think it is anything to do with being irresponsible. thank you all. boots did not want to appear on the programme. they told us that provision of the morning after pill is a professional healthcare service which should require a proper health consultation. they added: let us know your thoughts on that. let's catch up with the weather. it is the first day of the summer holidays from any part of england and wales. if you're heading west, or you are and wales. if you're heading west, oryou are in and wales. if you're heading west, or you are in the west already, not looking that great. this is the recent radar picture. you can see a

huge and rainfall here in western areas, particularly heavy rain in west wales and south—west england. it is all associated with this area of low pressure which will move very slowly eastwards. look at those white lines, quite close together. that indicates strong wind. we're going to see some gales around the coasts of south—west england, south and west wales. the further east you are, looking largely dry and bright. some sunny spells. temperatures and high teens, low 20s. as for the weekend, low pressure is still with us. you can see the swirl of the winds. still quite blustery conditions across southern and western areas. quite a few showers on saturday. they could be quite and perhaps thundery across wales, the midlands and southern england. further east, largely dry, some showers for a time. sunday, fewer showers, some sunny spells. temperatures in the higher teens or low 20s. see you later. hello, it's 10 o'clock. i'm joanna gosling.

two die and at least 100 people are injured on the greek island of kos, after an earthquake off the coast of greece and turkey. my mum looked at me and she said, "we've got to get out of here." so we did, we ran. we'll speak to three british families on kos live injust a moment. it's the last weekend of the world para athletics championships, and we've got two of britain's gold medallists with us in the studio. team captain hollie arnold and stef reid. they'll be alongside two young athletes who hope to emulate their achievements. also in the programme... "shocked and heartbroken. " "the most impressive talent i've ever seen." "rock ‘n' roll will never fill the space he left." these, just some of the tributes from the friends and family of linkin park lead singer chester bennington, who has taken his own life aged 41. good morning.

it's10:00. here's rachel schofield in the bbc newsroom, with a summary of today's news. good morning. two people have been killed and around 100 others have been injured on the greek island of kos, during a strong earthquake. the tremor struck under the aegean sea between greece and turkey early this morning. there was also flooding in the turkish resort of bodrum, as a result of a small tsunami. greg dawson has this report for us. after being shaken from their sleep, locals and tourists on the island of kos ran into the streets to see the damage. many holiday makers, fearing further tremors, chose to camp outside their hotels. officials on the island said two people were killed when the ceiling of a building collapsed. most of the injured are not in a serious condition. though some were airlifted to the larger island of rhodes for treatment.

at 1:30am in the morning, we were woken by a tremendous 5haking of the whole building. the fans were thrown around, a mirror came off, la5ting approximately 10—15 seconds. myself, my wife and two children just got our stuff as quick as we could. and, as we made our way out, there was a second 5hock. tremors that lasted a few minutes were enough to damage buildings that have stood for more than a century. british tourist ricky shah was in his hotel room at the time. it was for about 30 seconds, you kind of felt the whole room shake. a few bottles fell off, obviously from the night stand, and you couldn't really hear. and then, suddenly, you heard other people kind of... there was a bit of a commotion. some children were waking and crying. in the turkish resort of bodrum, these people were at a restaurant when the ground began to shake. the small tsunami triggered by the quake led to localised flooding. authorities report there has been no major damage to the city. as in the kos, tourists chose the

safety of the streets to their hotels as the after—shocks continued. michael gove has delivered his vision for what he describes as a green brexit. he says that after uk weaves the eu, farmers will have to earn subsidies by agreeing to protect the environment and enhance rural life, rather than simply have them handed out. the former american football star oj simpson is to be released from prison this autumn, after serving nine years of a 33—year sentence for armed robbery. in 1995, simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex—wife nicole brown simpson and herfriend, turning him into one of the most divisive figures in the country. his parole hearing was broadcast on us television. a year after being questioned

by counter—terrorism police for reading a syrian art book on a plane, a british woman says she is being forced to go to court to get an apology. faizah shaheen was reported to authorities by thomson cabin crew on her honeymoon flight to turkey reading — syria speaks: art and culture from the frontline. thomson say their staff were being vigilant. tolls on the two severn bridges — between england and wales — will be scrapped for all vehicles by the end of next year. ministers say the decision will significantly boost the region's economy. motorists who regularly use the bridges could save as much as £1,400 a year. tributes have been paid to chester bennington, the lead singer of the american rock band linkin park, who has died at the age of 41. the los angeles coroner says he appears to have taken his own life. his bandmates said they were "heartbroken" by the death of their close friend. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 10:30.

said, it you are rory mclroy, the world and the four, a former champion here, you have got to go out and play your game, get your confidence back. and it had the desired effect. he turned it around on the back nine. that continues this morning, he has birdied the first and is right back in contention. you put it a what more diplomatic weight than the caddie himself! i heard there was some colourful language. british a lot more diplomatically. chris froome is three stages away from winning his fourth tour de france. he's the favourite for the title, although his lead was cut by four seconds on stage 18. the battle for the yellow jersey went all the way to the line... romain bardet, finished just ahead of froome, to claim four bonus seconds. he's now 23 behind froome in the standings. it's the longest stage of the tour today — more than 138 miles — followed by a time trial tomorrow. manchester united have beaten manchester city 2—0 overnight

thank you very much forjoining us. georgie, tell us what happened. we went up to our rooms after the night—time entertainment around midnightand night—time entertainment around midnight and probably started going to bed around one o'clock. probably about half an hour later, fear/ when the entire room shook vigorously. it felt like the floor was going to cave in. i did not know if buildings we re cave in. i did not know if buildings were crumbling around me. i immediately woke my younger sister who was lying next to me. i told her that we needed to get out because i was fearful of pursuing coming down. so we ran outside and at that point, we we re so we ran outside and at that point, we were met by other tourists doing a similarthing. and we were met by other tourists doing a similar thing. and at that point, we felt another tremor and we

thought it would be the best idea to kind of evacuated the building and get as far away as possible. obviously, we were completely shaken up obviously, we were completely shaken up by obviously, we were completely shaken up by it all. as it was the middle of the night, it you were kind of wa ry of the night, it you were kind of wary of the fact that no one was really around the tell us what was going on or what kind of action to take. so we decided to stay quite higher and make sure there were open fields around just in case we needed to evacuate. victoria, tell us what you felt. well, we had been on a trip to the mountains. we were quite tired when we got back around ten o'clock and we went to bed early. around 25 past one, we will literally ripped from our sleep. the bed shook uncontrollably, the room

shook from side to side, the noise was terrible. i dived on my son. the complete sense of fear was untrue. i thought that was it, i really did. when it stopped, we gathered our thoughts. we thought, we need to get outside. we were faced with the holiday— makers, not knowing outside. we were faced with the holiday—makers, not knowing what outside. we were faced with the holiday— makers, not knowing what to do. the electricity had gone. it was a sense of panic. there was an air raid siren alarm that went off, so we went to the reception area, but we went to the reception area, but we we re we went to the reception area, but we were greeted with no one. we kind of round out our information from twitter. and afterwards, until about at least six o'clock this morning, the tremors were really strong. so you are trying to get over it, but the tremors kept coming. people were sleeping on the sun lounges. pots

we re sleeping on the sun lounges. pots were smashed. the pool was damaged. it was scary, to say the least, we are very close to kos town. what was your experience, claire? we woke up about half past one in the morning and were swaying from left to right. it continued for about 30 seconds. we felt like we were in a hurricane, that kind of sensation. once we were fully awake, we realised it was not a hurricane bertha and it was more serious. we woke our two small children who were asleep and we made our way out to the main road. there we re our way out to the main road. there were people coming out and panicking. we watched the main road, but it was quite nerve—racking because we are up but it was quite nerve—racking because we are up in the mountains so we we re because we are up in the mountains so we were worried there would be boulders coming down. it was quite scary. we made our way down the hill to the main hotel building and the

hotel manager explained what had happened between bodrum and kos. he said it was safe to go back to our rooms and is to be vigilant and listen out for the emergency alarm. we went back to our rooms and we pretty much stayed awake until about five o'clock in the morning because there were literally tremors occurring every 15 minutes, half an hour. some of them... occurring every 15 minutes, half an hour. some of them. .. we are struggling to hear you, there is wind cutting the crusher microphone, but thank you. victoria, you were telling us about people sleeping on lounges and the damage around the pool lounges and the damage around the pool. the lack of information and the sheer strength of the after tremors, like the other say deluxe —— lady said, every ten to 15 minutes, the tremors were so strong, you literally thought, here we go again. we thought it was going to

happen again and everybody was so fearful. plus, the information was not coming through. we did not really know what to do. we did not wa nt to really know what to do. we did not want to go back into the room purely because of the damage may be. want to go back into the room purely because of the damage may hem want to go back into the room purely because of the damage may be. it was very because of the damage may be. it was very severe. because of the damage may be. it was very severe. how much damage was there where you are? we were quite lucky. the people next was were so lucky. the people next was were so lucky. there was damage around such as windows. it looks like the hotel staff have tried to clear everything up staff have tried to clear everything up and tried to calm everybody down, but just waiting to up and tried to calm everybody down, butjust waiting to see thomson representative to see what is happening. thank you, all, for joining us. more comments now on the interview earlier with faizah

shaheen. this man says, why are you indulging this woman? passing on an observation is not an extreme measure. just let the police do theirjob and stop wasting resources . theirjob and stop wasting resources. shameful reaction, that is over the top. we have had mixed comments. one says, they will not apologise for their disgraceful behaviour, he means thomson, closet racial profiling. still to come, rock and roll will never fill the space he left, tributes to chester bennington who has died at 41. it's been the biggest — and quite probably the best world championships ever — and a successful one for britain's para athletes. the london championships come to an end this weekend, and they've seen record crowds, with the fill the stadium campaigning helping to bring in around a quarter of a million fans.

so far, great britain are comfortably 3rd in the medal table behind china and the usa. we can talk to two gold medallists now. hollie arnold, is the british team captain. she won gold last weekend in her f46 javelin category — that means single below or above the elbow amputees stef reid also won gold in her event, the long jump, which is for competitors with single below—knee amputation. eden rainbow—cooper is a wheelchair junior athlete and competes in a number of events. olivia gallagher is a junior wheelchair racer and tania gallager is olivia's mum. she works at the weir archer academy, set up by david weir and jenny archer to help train and develop young athletes. welcome, all of you. thank you very much for coming in. it is great to see you all, and especially congratulations to you two with your gold medals. delighted to see you wearing them. obviously it has been a great experience for the british athletes. holly, you are the british tea m athletes. holly, you are the british team captain, you must be feeling

very proud? very proud. very humble to be classed as team captain and to be chosen by my actual team—mates. to bring home the gold and world record to add to that is something that makes me feel good. do you think you get a boost from being in a home crowd? massively, the crowd was amazing. i had my own plans, my first three throws was just to do what i need to do, and the fourth i got the crowd going. that is when the world record came. the crowd definitely helped. itjust boosted our own confidence. it's so nice to be able to go out in our home crowd and do what i wanted to do. sort of make up from london 2012. why do you need to make up? i came fifth. for me, that wasn't good enough for myself. it's my demons to rest now. idid my myself. it's my demons to rest now. i did my own lap of honour and soaked up the crowd. it was just amazing. good for you. steph, you've got your gold, tell us us about that competition. probably the same story

to holly. for me, the amazing thing was that we are doing the long jump, on the back straight. it was a full audience. i probably knew half of the people there. i think it was a really proud moment. disability sport has evolved. it is no longer just for people that have disabilities. it is for everybody. i think everybody can relate to a story where it is your dream to do something and people look at you, they think, a girl with one arm, how is she going to throw a javelin? a deal with one leg? it is ridiculous that you want to be a professional athlete. did that happen to you? yes, i was an accident when i was 15, and! yes, i was an accident when i was 15, and i accepted that. i played by 15, and i accepted that. i played rugby before and that was my dream. i kind of thought, 0k, sport is not for me any more. i went the more academic route and did a degree in chemistry, i was going to be a doctor. suddenly, i got my first running blade and i thought, wait a minute, iwant running blade and i thought, wait a minute, i want to do this. people thought i was nuts. are you really

going to let a career in medical school go to do the paralympics? this was way before 2012. i had to explain to people what the paralympics, what explain to people what the pa ralympics, what para explain to people what the paralympics, what para sports was. to see how it has transformed, and london and great britain has played such a massive part of that. when we hear you speak about what you have gone through to get where you are, it is particularly inspiring. it is great to have eden and olivia with us, you must look at these women and men and be very inspired? definitely. particularly the women, there has been a lot of computing, it shows that girls can go to that level. did you always feel you could? did you have a moment like steph, when you didn't necessarily say it? definitely. growing up in the schools that i meant to, there

wasn't really any disability sport. i was the only disabled person in my school. i went to my senior school and they introduced me to para sport. i went there and i tried racing. i wasjust in awe. i loved it and! racing. i wasjust in awe. i loved it and i wanted to do sport since then. i've never looked back since. olivia, what is your story? same for me. i went to a hearing impaired school in newbury, for the hearing impaired. they may be do cross—country running. i thought, well, i can't do it in my chair, i can't do it. it is too hilly. i said, why don't you get in the chair and you try it? then they made me just sit on the sidelines. i think especially in these games, and london 2012, it is showing that we can actually do something and not just sit and watch, so i'm just

sitting here and not doing anything. good for you, saying what you don't wa nt to good for you, saying what you don't want to do as well. how empowered are you feeling now? very, i think. i think me having seen david weir do all of his achievements, seeing steph and holly winning gold, it helped me. it helped me think that where i am in the ranking, in international, world, for my classification, unfortunately they are not in the paralympics at the minute for the girls. we want to be where they are. it is just about the ipcc, hopefully wanting to put that m, m ipcc, hopefully wanting to put that in, in the future. tanya, you are olivia's very proud mother, and also involved in getting young people involved in getting young people

involved in getting young people involved in sport? i am chair of the senedd david weir archer academy. people set in 2012, because they thought there was a need to inspire the next generation. we are an academy based purely on being run by volunteers. our biggest issue is raising funds, obviously, so that young people that come along can access the sport. when you have a disability, have any equipment to ta ke disability, have any equipment to take part in that sport is very expensive. for example, a racing chair is equivalent to 3500 or £5,000. even racing gloves are £150. for young people, it is very hard to ta ke for young people, it is very hard to take part in that sport. i know that steph and holly were saying the same in their sport. tell us more about that, what were your experiences, starting out, how hard it was? my

throwing arm, which helps me to balance as i am throwing, that cost £5,000. it is very expensive, but it is part of me, i need that its role as farasi is part of me, i need that its role as far as i do. javelins range from £1000 upwards. sometimes, if you hit a stone, it can breakjust like that. it is quite expensive. that's devastating! yes, it's very devastating. the same with the legs, for you, that is very expensive. you said when you got that how transformational it was. what did you have to go through to get it? transformational it was. what did you have to go through to get mm is hard, for sure. this is my day leg but i have right now, to run on that versus a running blade, it is night and day. so much more fun. one of the things that i am so happy about, the reason that we have these will championships in london, is,

yes, money is an issue and money will definitely make a difference to getting more people participating. equally as important is just having attitudes change, having local clu bs, attitudes change, having local clubs, welcoming people and just having a coach that is willing to adapt and is not intimidated by it. that is just as valuable. it matters so much that we are changing perceptions, changing how people see disability. it's not normal now to associate words like strong, fast and powerful full summary that has a disability. do you feel a difference, day to day, when you go around? do difference, day to day, when you go around ? do you difference, day to day, when you go around? do you think there is a different attitude? it is a lot less awkward than it was before. people come up and have a conversation with you. before they might just stare. do you put that down to 2012? yes. i think it started in 2012 and since thenit think it started in 2012 and since then it has just think it started in 2012 and since then it hasjust blossomed into other things. it is really powerful to see that. it shows that almost

the whole nation has changed, really, from one games. do you feel that? yes, i was bullied because i had the visual and hearing problems as well as the cp. but i could say, this is what i'm doing, they have an interest in that conversation. it's not that you're just in a wheelchair and sitting on the sidelines, being lazy. what are your goals? next year, i'm hoping the cp will games in spain, but my main goal is 2020 order will championships in london, in 2019, hopefully, if they do it in london. —— the world championships. the main goal is to keep doing what iam doing the main goal is to keep doing what i am doing with the support ofjenny and david from the academy. hope that i can one day be in the olympic stadium. eden, what about you?”

eden, what about you? i have the junior world championships coming up in two weeks. that is my main focus, trying to go there and do what i do best, which is racing. after that, i wa nt best, which is racing. after that, i want to try to go to the europeans. itjust want to try to go to the europeans. it just depends on what the times. apart from that, i want to keep enjoying the sport. if i don't enjoy it, iwant enjoying the sport. if i don't enjoy it, i want to do my best. holly and steph, when the champion jets out of the way, what next? obviously we are going to have the world championships in 2019, which we are all hoping is going to be back in london. and then we have tokyo 2020 after that. it's hard, as an athlete, you have to take things year by year and see how things go. i love the sport, every year it tends to evolve and get bigger. i definitely don't want to watch from the sidelines. you are hoping they come back here in 2019, is it

different with other things? countries are rotated more, is britain being seen as a place for para athletics in particular? what is going on? a lot of people recognise 2012 as kind of like the birthplace of the professional era paralympic sport. we hosted the first paralympics paralympic sport. we hosted the first pa ralympics here paralympic sport. we hosted the first paralympics here and there has been quite a movement by athletes around the world. theyjust say their experience in gb is better. definitely, i was in beijing in 2014 andl definitely, i was in beijing in 2014 and i think i was shown on tv at about 4am. the coverage was really bad. now we have the channel 4 cove rage , bad. now we have the channel 4 coverage, people looked at the paralympics and were, like, these guys are amazing. notjust, poor disabled girl, bless them. they thought, these are amazing, talented athletes, they have so much together and can hopefully inspire the next generation. roll on 2019! we wish

you the best. week two of brexit negotiations has ended, but what was actually achieved? we'll be discussing that in just a moment. as mps go on the holiday, well the negotiations at? quay chester bennington — the lead singer of linkin park — has taken his own life at the age of 41. we'll be discussing his musical legacy and his openness in talking about his mental health and the abuse he suffered as a child. comments to bring you about the interview with faiziah. one tweets, what is wrong with a woman? the crew did the right thing. more vigilance is needed. caroline says it is not right, but we are where we are, fear is fear and it is naive of the lady to expect otherwise, best keep the book at home. an e—mailfrom william, if it had a cover saying how to bring down a plane, how to make a how to bring down a plane, how to makea bomb how to bring down a plane, how to make a bomb or how tojoin daesh, they might have had a point. but simplya they might have had a point. but simply a book with syria in the

title? paranoia run amok. now let's join rachel for a news update. two people have been killed and around 100 others have been injured on the greek island of kos, during a strong earthquake. the tremor struck under the aegean sea between greece and turkey early this morning. holiday mochas and kos fine parts of the island turned to rubble and there was flooding in bodrum as a result of a small tsunami. air traffic controllers say they expect today to be the busiest on record forflights in and out of the uk. 8,800 flights are scheduled to use british airports over the 24—hour period, as families with school—age children begin their summer holidays. the national air traffic services has warned that the skies above the uk are nearing full capacity, and says the government must invest to provide support for the levels of traffic expected over the next decade.

the government will tell landowners that farm subsidies will have to be earned in future, rather than just handed out. the environment secretary, michael gove, is due to say that farmers will only get taxpayers' money if they agree to protect the environment and enhance rural life. he believes there is a growing appetite for agricultural support which puts environmental protection first. tributes have been paid to chester bennington, the lead singer of the american rock band linkin park, who has died at the age of 41. the los angeles coroner says he appears to have taken his own life. his bandmates said they were "heartbroken" by the death of their close friend. that's a summary of the latest news. join me for bbc newsroom live at 11 o'clock. back to joanna. thank you, see you later. here's some sport now, withjessica. hello again, thank you. the second round of the open is underway at royal birkdale. after a topsy—turvey performance from rory mcilroy yesterday, he's picked up a shot on the first hole and is now on level par. just three stages to go in the tour de france,

and chris froome still has the leader's yellow jersey. his lead was cut to 23 seconds yesterday. it's the longest stage of the race today — more than 138 miles — followed by a time trial tomorrow. hannah cockroft and georgina hermitage both win gold, as great britain claimed seven more medals at the para athletics world championships in london. and manchester united have beaten manchester city 2—0 overnight, in a pre—season friendly in the united states. new £75 million signing romelu lukaku with their first goal, in a 2—0 win in houston. that is all the sport for now, see you soon. thank you, see you later. the second week of negotiations over britain's exit from the european union has ended with big differences over citizens‘ rights and the bill the uk will have to pay to leave. amongst the disagreements: the eu wants rights currently enjoyed by eu citizens in the uk

to continue after brexit. but the uk only wants to do this after the person has lived in the country for five years. so with parliament now having gone into its summer break, how well are the two sides doing? let's talk to nigel evans, a conservative mp who supports leaving the eu, professor emilyjones, who's an expert on business negotiations from oxford university, james mcgrory, the director of open britain, who wants britain to keep a close relationship with europe, and professor dennis novy, who's an economist from warwick university. nigel evans, has it been a good few days? i think so, really pleased that negotiations are into the second round and looking forward to leaving the european union, which means we are notjust ruled by the european courts, we will have on trial over immigration and budgets. unsurprisingly, we will be an independent country again. what is

being achieved? it has shone a light on areas of division. absolutely, thatis on areas of division. absolutely, that is what a negotiation is all about. theresa may said there would be no running commentary, but we do seem to get to know that bets from the negotiations between david davis and michel barnier, areas where there are real problems over the rights of european union citizens in the uk. they wanted to be decided by the uk. they wanted to be decided by the european courts. but when michel barnier was asked, could you name a european country where the rate of the citizens of that country are justifiable by a foreign court? you could not. there are areas where michel barnier has to recognise there will be some give. it is what negotiations are about. james, what do you think about the negotiations? they have not done brilliantly, progress has been absent and this is supposed to be the easy stuff before the thorny issues of trade and security and the meat of the issue

does not start until the autumn. the divorce bill was never going to be easy. no, but citizens' rights should be easy and one of the few areas nigel and i agree on. what does not help is when the foreign secretary, supposed do me —— supposed to be the leading the couple met at the go whistle. you can have a disagreement about the level of the bill, everybody accepts that, but to tell your allies to go whistle, it is quite juvenile. that, but to tell your allies to go whistle, it is quite juvenilem that, but to tell your allies to go whistle, it is quitejuvenile. it is colourful language from boris. the fa ct colourful language from boris. the fact is when they come up with a figure of 100 billion which is what is being talked about... that is what we see newspapers, 100 billion. should the foreign secretary and anybody else involved in the negotiations rise above the newspapers? yes, but what i think, andi newspapers? yes, but what i think, and i hope we can all agree, if we negotiate on whatever that divorce bill is and for every pound we give

them, and that means it is a pound we could be spending on our own people, british taxpayers' money, andi people, british taxpayers' money, and i will fight hard to make sure we pay our obligations whatever they happen to be as far as pensions and other obligations and programmes we have signed up to beyond 2019. but they have to say exactly where our obligations are and how much money there is. in any divorce settlement, if somebody says, i want 5 million, they have to prove exactly how it is... if it is they have to prove exactly how it is...ifitisa they have to prove exactly how it is... if it is a figure heading in the direction of 100 billion... but thatis the direction of 100 billion... but that is what boris is saying, they can go whistle, it is absurd figures. it is like me trying to sell you my house and telling you it is worth ten million and you know it is worth ten million and you know it is only worth quarter of a million, ican quite is only worth quarter of a million, i can quite rightly go whistle! emilyjones, what are your thoughts at the end of this week negotiations? as you have seen with the media, it is reporting a

deadlock with little progress and this was to be expected, the divorce bill was always going to be contentious. my concern at the moment is the uk is very much reacting to the eu and i would like the uk to be more on a front foot and coming forward with more proposals. and to see the negotiations becoming more constructive. if we are discussing aditi gritty, there has to be a lot more broad consensus about the divorce bill and citizens' rights. how much can we judge really about what is going on? what we see is the grandstanding, but no deal is better than a bad steel, putting out clear m essa g es than a bad steel, putting out clear messages that you are prepared to walk away —— a bad deal. you want to appear tough at the outset. walk away —— a bad deal. you want to appear tough at the outsetm walk away —— a bad deal. you want to appear tough at the outset. is it different behind closed doors? one hopes so, it is hard to have a constructive dialogue when outside, you are making threats. those threats do not help, as you suggest, and were perhaps not prepared to

walk away and now the party has a strong hand. iwould walk away and now the party has a strong hand. i would like to see fewer of those threats to walk away and more constructive phases of negotiations. when i hear somebody saying we have not got a very strong hand, we have got a trade deficit with the european union of £80 billion. you talk to any german mps who represent, any fracturing constituencies and ask if we have a strong hand, yes, we have. —— any car manufacturing constituencies. i think we have got a very strong hand. it does not help david davis when you hear people in britain... we have not from —— we have not heard from you, dennis. it isjust voodoo economic. the fact is the british people are already paying inflation, real wages are going down

and people going on holidays and they will really feel prices have gone up and living standards gone down. because the pound went down so much. we see it every day now how investment is down and especially in the car industry, nigel, this is really hurting people in britain. i think the most positive development has been that britain has moved away from some kind of foreign galaxy and there is now a realisation that, well, there has to be a bill that needs to be paid because it is not a charity payment, it is legal obligations. there will have to be a transitional agreement as well, there is in fighting left, right and ce ntre there is in fighting left, right and centre in the conservative party at the moment and britain needs to come down to reality. what is happening day in and day out with businesses. with the infighting within the conservative party and their seeming to be no settled view with everybody on board, that is seen from brussels. it is seen by brussels.

and it is the same in the labour party, as we know, jeremy corbyn's views are not the same as others. the tory government is negotiating. yes, it is not helpful to see on the front pages of newspapers that we are ina front pages of newspapers that we are in a weak position or we have to cave in here everything that michel barnier wants, he is going to get. what should there be, a news blackout? no, people need to be more polished, quite frankly, about britain's prospects. the germans exported 810,000 cars to the uk last year. they will want to carry on doing that. and the fact the pound went down, you can be negative about the prospects are people going abroad, i will go to italy on monday and no doubt it will cost me more. we have had evidence now since the referendum and you are living on a prayer. i was in china just last week. the chinese are baffled, white

on earth would the uk voluntarily give so much power away? they do not ca re give so much power away? they do not care that much about britain's position, theyjust think it is going to be much easier for the chinese to deal with britain because britain is so much we can all. that is the reality that everyone outside of your little bubble sees. and britain has to realise it is not the only place. you talk about china. talk about liam fox going to the usa on monday where we have a trade surplus of 35 billion even though we do not have a trade deal. be positive, when you talk it down... it is not talking down, it is realistic. the usa is more interested in doing it had to deal with the european union because it isa with the european union because it is a much bigger market, same with australia... we started on monday. you cannot negotiate until you are out of the eu and the eu has negotiated with 2013 since the united states and there is a new

trade agreement with japan commit you have to be realistic. there is no trade agreement with japan, they have started that, it is four years and discussion. what about the media reality that currency weakness has impacted on business and is making ita impacted on business and is making it a crisis? it has impacted on business because we exported 8% more food last year because our of far more attractive to the rest of the world, particularly the european union. it is having a negative impact on businesses operating here. some. some negative, some positive, it depends whether you import your products to export it. but this is true, we are exporting more because the value of the pound has gone down toi.29 the value of the pound has gone down to1.29 as faras the value of the pound has gone down to 1.29 as far as the dollar. i have a cheese manufacture that exports £6 million a year. nigel is putting out nonsense like that, it has been really damaging for the uk economy.

all the regulations, the rules of origin red tape that will comment because the uk is leaving the customs union, that will hurt british business so much and in particular the car industry. nigel, you have to become realistic. project fear behind this again. no, it is happening. is it going to get more expensive forever buddy? inflation is about 3% and it is now flattening. there are positives and negatives about value of the pound. ifi negatives about value of the pound. if i was weak, i would wish i could appreciate my currency. james commit you had been sitting and listening. it is fascinating to be offered hard evidence about what is happening out of the economy and you can talk about businesses and some exporting more, but anybody with a pay packet feels inflation and they see their wages outstripped. they are not doing well and that is fact. you cannot call it a project beer and

sake we will wish away the economic factors of brexit by talking positively. we need an honest debate. one fact you have to concede, every month since we voted to leave the european union, unemployment in this country has gone down and employment has gone up, we have record levels of employment in this country, backed! and the wages have gone down. i can hear emily behind me. we're not appreciating his business reaction and the economic reaction to uncertainty. that is the biggest factor contributing to the economic imbalance and downturn we are seeing. unless we can get clarity from within the tory party of the type of brexit that they want and a clear agenda and consensus in cabinets, we have uncertainty and we will see for sure asians. the biggest challenge at the moment is the visions within the tory party. thank you very much. we will talk ain! thank you very much. we will talk again! thanksa thank you very much. we will talk again! thanks a lot. blair logan has admitted

murdering his brother and attempting to murder his brother's girlfriend in a new year's day house fire, in a plea at the high court in glasgow. he poured petrol on his younger brother and the bed he was sharing with rebecca williams as they slept in east dunbartonshire this year. our correspondent is outside the high court in glasgow, tells what happened. as you say, the 27—year—old came to the court and pleaded guilty to murdering his younger brother cameron. attempting to murder cameron's girlfriend rebecca williams and endangering the lives of his parents cathy and david logan. the background to the story was it was new year's eve, the family had been celebrating in the house and bex and cameron went to a party in milngavie outside glasgow. they left the house at 9:45pm and returned home and were picked up by

david logan at about 4am and brought home and they went to bed. the dog barked at seven o'clock in the morning and cameron and the mother of blair logan woke up and she went down the stairs and she saw a man in dark clothing standing in the living room. that is where bex and cameron was sleeping. bex awoke and she saw a man saying in dark clothing, holding something in his hand and she did not know who it was. there we re she did not know who it was. there were screams from cameron and bex and david logan the father came running down the stairs to do what he could. we had more background to this, that blair logan and cameron logan, there was hostility between the brothers. bex williams said the two boys didn't speak and that he had looked on his computer to see what would be the effects of burns. he said he did not intend to kill his brother, or

indeed bex, or endanger his parents. but he did say that he did do it. he had doused cameron in petrol and set fire to the bed. he admitted doing that. he will be sentenced next month on the 11th of august at livingston high court. thank you for all of the comments you have been sending through on the british woman questioned by anti—terror police after reading a book on syrian heart on a thomson flight. -- book on syrian heart on a thomson flight. —— syrian art. one reviewer says, iam flight. —— syrian art. one reviewer says, i am a white grey—haired lady, would i have been arrested for reading that book? another says, people are sick of being knifed and bombed, and as soon as you try to do a thing about it, getting wind up. another says she will wait a long time foran another says she will wait a long time for an apology, please don't apologise for conducting lawful inquiries. another says that the cabin crew's response was proportionate. heather says we need

terrorism vigilance, but once authorities start questioning what we are reading, it is the thin edge of the wedge. faizah was reported to authorities by thomson cabin crew. thompson say their staff were being vigilant. i spoke to her early and asked her what happened.” vigilant. i spoke to her early and asked her what happened. i was on my way to my honeymoon, to turkey. i was recommended this book in a literature festival. i started reading it in the uk and decided to finish it on the flight to turkey. whilst i was reading it, a cabin crew member on the plane saw me reading the book and reported me to the counterterrorism police. did you know immediately that had happened? no, they did not approach me. nothing suggested whilst i was on the flight that they had any concerns about me reading the book. nothing at all. what was the first you knew? when i returned after my two week holiday to the uk and i was queueing up in passport control to

find two anti—terrorism police officers waiting for me. what did they say? when they approached me, they say? when they approached me, they asked me, they had to do a routine check. i asked what was regarding and they said it was regarding and they said it was regarding and they said it was regarding a book that was reported bya regarding a book that was reported by a member of the cabin crew. what happened then? i was taken in for questioning. i was given a leaflet to explain i was being interviewed under the terrorism act, clearly saying i had no rights and i had to a nswer saying i had no rights and i had to answer the questions, and if i didn'ti answer the questions, and if i didn't i would be detained. at that point, i knew that i had done nothing wrong, so i happily went with the police officers to be questioned. my husband was with me. when they realised he was my husband, they took me alongside him. how long did it questioning go on for? approximately 30 minutes. they asked me about the book, what it regarded, what language as i speak,

the purposes of my trip. i said it was my honeymoon. they asked me what idid fora was my honeymoon. they asked me what i did for a living. they asked me a lot of questions until they were reassured i was safe to go. on what you do for a living, you have worked with prevent? part of my role last yearin with prevent? part of my role last year in the nhs was safeguarding children at risk of being radicalised. i would work with prevent and sit on a panel to work around mental health, and children that were at risk of being radicalised. it sounds like it was a situation that was dealt with quite quickly. a year on, you are going to court to try to get an apology. why? after my experience last year, i wrote a complaint to thomson and they did not respond to the complaint. it was only when i made my appearance on channel 4 that they responded with a very minimal response, saying they were sorry about the way i felt and that they have to be vigilant. after that, i

sought legal advice and decided to approach this with a legal claim, under the equality act. what they say is that they are sorry if you are unhappy with how you feel, with how you were treated, i will read a statement. we wrote to her to explain our crew undergo general safety a nd explain our crew undergo general safety and security awareness training. as part of this, they are encouraged to be vigilant and share any information or questions with releva nt any information or questions with relevant authorities, who would act as appropriate. we appreciate in this incident that she may have felt that over caution had been exercised, but our crew are trained to report any concerns they may have asa to report any concerns they may have as a precaution. a lot of people watching would think, well, that is understandable. we are in dangerous times, there are security concerns, better safe than sorry? yellow

marker i understand that security is important, and i would want to make sure it is thoroughly done.” important, and i would want to make sure it is thoroughly done. i think it is the sense of proportion. what could have been done instead of taking extreme measures of reporting me to anti—terrorism police, perhaps simply speaking to me, asking me what the book was regarding, taking me aside. faizah shaheen, talking to me aside. faizah shaheen, talking to me earlier. tributes have been paid to chester bennington, the lead singer of the american rock band linkin park, who has died at the age of 41. # i've become so numb # i can't feel you there # i've become so tired, so much more aware # by becoming this, all i want to do # is be more like me and be less like you... he became famous for songs such as numb, the band have sold more than 70 million albums worldwide and won two grammy awards. linkin park's biggest album was hybrid theory and was released in 2001. only four albums released since the year 2000 have sold

about his impact? you can't underestimate the impact of hybrid theory, the soundtrack of many people's school and college life. but then on to the world wide spectrum, sold 30 million copies and is the biggest selling debut album released since the millennium. what they did well was they blended metal and hard rock elements, along with rap and hip—hop and created a new genre, called nu—metal, that they we re genre, called nu—metal, that they were the most successful act. they released an album a couple of months ago. we did an interview and you hear linkin park's songs, and he has a very angry, powerhouse vocal. in person, he was warm, sweet, articulate and extremely open. the lead single from the most recent album was called heavy. i asked him where the influence and control. ijust said, "do you guys really want to know what my day's been like?"

everyone was like, "yeah!" somebody really close to me just tried to commit suicide and survived and, like, i'm dealing with that. yeah, and, like, this is what's going on, this is what's going on. i'm like, i'm afraid for this. i don't know what to do. it was one of those things — do i go? it was really hard and really confusing and really sad. any day of the week it could have been something different. sometimes itjust feels like life is testing you. and that is what's come out on this record. it's more like a snapshot in real time of things that were happening as they were happening. so in that way it is, like, yeah, super— personal. all the songs we write about come from a personal place, but more like a retrospective place. this time, it's like i'm having this feeling right now. he was saying sometimes it feels like life is testing me. in 2008, he revealed to kerrang that he was abused as a child. how much of an

impact did that have on his life? well, as we were just saying, he was an incredibly thoughtful, sensitive, open soul. he was an artist that didn't hold anything back. how we feel today, as a magazine team, knowing him very well, from year zero, the first day that linkin park where a thing, it wasn't like we we re where a thing, it wasn't like we were looking for clues, it wasn't like these messages were coded. it was all out there. i think one of the things we actually feeling today, and i think a lot of people are thinking, is there anything we could have done ? are thinking, is there anything we could have done? it wasn't like this guy was being coded about anything, these messages that he was suffering

we re very these messages that he was suffering were very explicit. that is busy something that anybody who knows somebody who has taken their own life will feel. in the end, people go down their own path. in terms of whether he was getting help for what he had been through, do you know? did he? well, he talked a lot to kerrang, he talked a lot elsewhere about how the music was his help, music was his outlet. it was the vessel he used to express himself and to explore who he was. i feel the second high—profile passing of a rock star this year, chris cornell was a friend of chester and that was only a month and a half ago. yesterday would have been chris cornell's birthday. i feel like we

kind of ask ourselves why are we losing these people? two in a year, two months apart? steve, what will be his legacy? you leaves behind an amazing musical legacy? it's his voice, a powerhouse of a voice, insta ntly voice, a powerhouse of a voice, instantly recognisable. he has cemented his mark on the musical landscape with that incredible, huge range and voice. there are acoustic versions of his songs were the production strips out and just taking it right back to how he sounds, he is one—of—a—kind. i think josh from you me at six called him once ina josh from you me at six called him once in a generation. some of the people associate part of their life with that album, hybrid theory.
