this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 7pm: the bbc‘s director general, lord hall, says he'll ‘value the contribution‘ of more than a0 female presenters — who signed a letter demanding the corporation tackle its gender pay gap. there's been legislation about all this since 1970. it's got to stop and we've got to do something about it really, really quickly. a 20—year—old man has died after being confronted by a police officer in a london shop. regrets about a final phone call. 20 years after the death of diana — william and harry open up about the relationship with their mother, in a documentary marking the anniversary of her death. also in the next hour: victory at lords for england's women in the world cup.

in a nail—biting finish, the lionesses beat india with only nine runs to spare in the world cup. and the tv classic, generation game is returning to our screens — we'll be getting reaction from two former contestants as british bake off's mel and sue are announced as presenters. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the head of the bbc has said he will ‘value the contribution‘ of more than a0 senior women — who signed a letter demanding the corporation tackle its gender pay gap. lord hall says work is already underway to address the pay disparity. his comments come after some of the bbc‘s most prominent women broadcasters — including claire balding and fiona bruce — wrote an open letter to their boss demanding ‘immediate action.‘ the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said the pay gap was "appalling".

our media correspondent david sillito reports. alexjones of the one show, mishal husein, sue barker, three of more than a0 famous names calling on the bbc to act now on its gender pay gap. this open letter to the papers says that this week‘s annual report confirmed what many had long suspected, that women were being paid less than men for the same work. in the top 20 names was only one woman. the best paid men were being paid more than twice what the top women were earning. this open letter to the papers said that this week‘s annual report confirmed what many have long suspected, that women were being paid less than men for the same work. 0n the whole, i think it is fantastic that so many wonderful women have been prepared to put their head above the parapet. we got stick, we knew we would,

that was why it would never be an easy thing to do. but it isn‘tjust about, it is not about, getting whacking great pay rises for women who are already well paid. it is about pay parity and getting then is for everybody. the letter today says that the bbc has known about the pay disparity for years, we want to go on record to call upon you to act now. women‘s hour... when programmes such as women‘s hour went on as 60 years ago, equal pay for equal work was a pressing issue. the fact it remains an issue despite law changes in the 1960s and 70s after pressures from the women‘s movement is a sign of how tough it is to find quick solutions. attitudes of their age and experience and authority affect the pay divide, but it is worth noting that in the top 20 there is not a single black or asian presenter. it comes at a time where the bbc is facing opposition over plans to change terms and conditions for the rest of staff, paid a fraction of what any star gets. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn says

this taps into a wider issue of fairness and pay. this gender pay gap is appalling, we would insist on a strong gender pay audit as every organisation, and we would also look at a 20—1 ratio between the chief executive and lowest paid staff in every public sector organisation. in response, the bbc said today the overall pay gap there is 10%, less than the national average of 18% but it needed to go further and faster to close the pay gap. the director—general said he is confident that next year‘s figures will look very different. david sillito, bbc news. and we‘ll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow‘s front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are the author and broadcaster, natalie

haynes and rob merrick, deputy political editor at the independent. there have been injuries. no confirmation at the moment of what is going on from thejordanian authorities, but the area around the embassy is now the scene of what is described as a major security operation. this is coming after a lot of trouble recently as quite a few deaths injuries on. and travel around the mosque. israeli authorities taking action which has proved unpopular with a lot of palestinians. we will bring you the latest on that, an attack said to have happened on the israeli embassy in the jordanian capital. a 20—year—old man has died after being apprehended by a police

officer in an east london shop. the metropolitan police said the man was followed on foot after officers tried to stop a car in hackney yesterday. they say he was taken ill after apparently trying the moment when rashan charles ran into his local late—night shop in the early hours of saturday morning, pursued by a police officer. at first, the arrest was calm but then the officer threw him to the floor and grabbed him around the neck. later, he was joined by what appears to be a plainclothes officer. just over one hour later, rashan charles was declared dead at the royal london hospital. the independent police complaints commission, which is examining his death, says an object was removed from his throat at the scene. as the cctv from the shop

was viewed on social media by people in haggerston, there was a growing collection of flowers and candles today, and growing anger. pauline pearce, who became well—known for chastising rioters on camera in 2011, told me that she knew rashan well. he should be alive today, sitting in a cell somewhere able to tell his side of the story but instead he is laying in a morgue waiting for an autopsy, and waiting to be buried. we‘ve got to pick up the pieces, the community has to pick up the pieces. many people visiting the shop and the neighbouring barbershop were clearly upset. i am angry, i am sad. i feel for his family and mother. i know him personally, it is disgusting. the death follows a similar incident last month, also in east london, there is growing anger here that young men are dying during arrests, even when no weapons are involved.

every deftly to support the like black lives matter, which started in america after numerous police shootings of black people better. princes william and harry have spoken candidly about their relationship with their mother, princess diana, in a documentary marking the 20th anniversary of her death. they describe her sense of fun, but also speak of their regret that their last conversation with her was a rushed phone call. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell‘s report contains some flash photography. to the watching world, she was the princess whose image appeared constantly on front pages. it was a glamorous but necessarily limited impression of the real person. now nearly 20 years after diana‘s death in the car accident in paris,

her sons william and harry have spoken in an itv documentary about diana, the mother who did so much to shape their childhood. we felt, you know, incredibly loved, harry and i. and i‘m very grateful that that love still feels there. it was that love that even if she was on the other side of the room, as a son you could feel it. the person who emerges from william and harry‘s description is a woman with a strong sense of fun. when everybody says to me, you know, "so, she was fun, give us an example." all i can hear is her laugh in my head. and that sort of crazy laugh where there wasjust pure happiness shown on her face. one of her mottos to me was that you can be as naughty as you want, just don't get caught. and they talk about

their mother‘s death. they recall the last time they spoke to her and they reflect on the overwhelming public reaction and how they coped with the week which culminated in herfuneral. as william himself has said, it is a tribute to diana from her sons in which they recall the woman they hope the world will remember. nicholas witchell, bbc news. police in the us state of texas say eight people have been found dead in a lorry at a supermarket car park in the city of san antonio, in an incident they believe was linked to people trafficking. at least two of the victims were school age children. 28 other people were severely dehydrated and are being treated at local hospitals. san antonio is a few hours‘ drive from the border with mexico. earlier i spoke to our correspondent laura bicker in washington. if you listen to the immigration and customs department, the homeland security department, they will say this is very common and in fact

one county in the state of texas, 500 bodies of would—be immigrants have been found since 2009. this is because people from the likes of mexico are looking for a better life. some will pay traffickers to get across the border, others will find ways to evade security checkpoint at borders and walk there themselves. the heat is not only exhausting but there are very few water supplies around. in this case, in a walmart car park, someone noticed people were being transferred through a tractor and trailer. the police chief seems to have gone into the back of the trailer and found a horrible scene. he said some of the people were so hot to the touch, there was no air conditioning or water, 20 of the people were in serious condition, eight people were found dead when he started to extricate those within the trucks. so unfortunately this is the kind of incident they are trying to prevent.

i have got a statement from the immigration and customs enforcement department who say this ranks as a stark reminder of why human smuggling networks must be pursued, caught and punished. britain‘s chris froome has won the tour de france for a fourth time. froome crossed the line on the final stage at the champs—elysees in paris to secure his fourth tour victory in five years. victory puts him among the best riders in the history of the sport. let‘s speak to former team gb rider turned author and journalist, michael hutchinson. hejoins me on webcam from paris. exciting? a bit of a strange way to finish, but you can‘t take it away from chris froome. no, there have only been four other riders in the history of the tour de france you

have 1a. they are four of the stars, the all—time icons. it is an extraordinary achievement. you make of this sort of competitor that he now is? it is interesting because he didn‘t look his strongest this year. in pasture as he has one, he has dominated the race. this year he never really looked at his best. it is perhaps a mark of a really good competitor, when he is not in top condition he still manages to come out on the right side. it is a mark of someone who knows how to race and knows how to do it effectively. most of the time riding past crowds who we re of the time riding past crowds who were not effectively with him. no, i think in some ways chris froome in france is a little bit more popular than team sky. they have never been

popular since their inception, because they don‘t raise the way the french like. the french talk about racing with panache, swashbuckling riders who attack. team sky have a lwa ys riders who attack. team sky have always been so focused and effective. chris froome they like because he is polite, he likes the race. he tries to speak french. 0ther race. he tries to speak french. other is a significant there with crowds. it must be said that he has done extremely well, but it doesn‘t quite reach the star quality of bradley wiggins. why is that? part of it is the buzz aldrin complex, the second guy to win the tour de france never being as interesting. it doesn‘t help that bradley wiggins was such a big character and so very televisual. when you saw him, you knew what you are getting. chris froome is quieter, and submit shire. particularly in the last couple of yea rs, particularly in the last couple of years, i have heard people say he was born in kenya, educated in south

africa, lives in monaco, he doesn‘t turn up on the one show, bbc brea kfast. turn up on the one show, bbc breakfast. i think a lot of fans, particularly sports fans, don‘t feel they know who chris froome is. that sets up some distance. the nationality thing coming in again! where does he go from here? will he give it again in the tour de france? double he has signed another two—year contract with the team sky will stop i imagined the plan is to compete in 2018, 2019. he talks about trying to win five or six. that was his plan three weeks ago. thank you very much. the bbc‘s director general, lord hall, says he will go further to tackle the pay gap, as more than a0 female presenters sign a letter demanding that the corporation tackle the issue.

a 20—year—old man has died after being apprehended by a police officer in an east london shops. he has been named by his family. the princes william and harry have spoken candidly about their relationship with their mother, princess diana. the documentary will mark the 20th anniversary of her death. the head of the powerful trade body representing all german car manufactures has told the bbc that a long transitional deal after brexit is needed — otherwise there‘ll be a threat tojobs and investment in britain. the president of the german automotive industry association has accused britain of abandoning pragmatism for ideology over the issue. the international trade secretary, liam fox, has suggested that a transitional deal could last up to 2022. it‘s about the practical issues we would face, and i think we would want to get it out of the way before the election. i don‘t think people would want to have it dragging on but it would be perfectly reasonable to have a transition that makes it as smooth as possible.

that‘s what businesses would want us to have in britain. a scottish man has been shot during a robbery hours before he was due to get married in the philippines. tarek naggar was outside a shop in cebu city when three men demanded he hand over his wallet, and was shot in the chest when he refused to give it up. the aa—year—old from milngavie in east dunbartonshire, has undergone surgery for his injuries and remains seriously ill in hospital. turkey‘s president has said it is not in anyone‘s interest to prolong a diplomatic row between qatar and its neighbours. recep tayyip erdogan is in saudi arabia to hold talks with king salman. saudi arabia, the uae, bahrain and egypt have cut ties with qatar — accusing the gulf state of supporting terrorism. mr erdogan will also travel

to kuwait and qatar. hopefully we will still have the conveyor belt with the prizes. the rules on blood donation are to be relaxed in england and scotland to allow more gay men and sex workers to take part. experts say there is clear evidence it is safe for those groups to give blood after abstaining from sex for three months, instead of 12. hiv charities have welcomed the changes. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. giving blood is not for everyone. rules on safety mean those at high risk of infectious diseases, such as hiv and hepatitis b and c, are restricted from donating. but the rules are changing. gay men will no longer have to abstain from sex for 12 months. that will be reduced to three months before they can give blood. people who have had sex with high—risk partners or in a high—risk place, will also have the deferral period reduced to three months. and for the first time, sex workers will be allowed to donate blood after abstaining

from sex for three months. technologies to pick up the presence of a virus and other infections in the blood have greatly improved. so we can now pick up viruses at a much earlier stage in the infection. technologies to pick up the presence of a virus and other infections in the blood have greatly improved. so we can now pick up viruses at a much earlier stage in the infection. therefore, it is much easier to tell if a blood donor has the virus. the changes have been welcomed by charities including the national aids trust, who say they were based on the latest scientific evidence rather than prejudice. with me is benjamin butterworth, a reporterfor pink news, the lgbt news website 0ne one of its five huge turbines arrives tonight with the

revolutionary technology allowing the generation of power from strong sea winds as it floats. it will provide energy to supply 20,000 homes. 0ur environmental analyst has been following the vast turbines journey from norway scotland. in the half—light of a summer night in norway, a landmark in the history of energy floats upright in the chilly water. these five towering turbines will cross the north sea to scotland, to form the world‘s first large—scale floating wind farm. this is engineering on an absolutely gargantuan scale. what you can see is taller than big ben. but that‘s only part of it — there‘s a third more under the water, weighted heavily at the bottom with iron ore, to keep the thing floating stable in the water. the turbines will be tethered to the sea bed with thick mooring lines 15 miles off the coast of peterhead. being able to use floating offshore wind farms gives us much more flexibility when it comes to locating these farms

around the world. but a note of caution among the enthusiasm. scientists warn that far more investment in additional new technologies is needed to combat climate change. this monumental kit comes dear, but the price should fall. we think that this is a game changer, this project, for enabling us in the future to reduce the cost and develop wind farms without any subsidies. the first turbine is hauled from the fjord by tugs. it‘s nearly 12,000 tonnes of steel and ballast. each blade is as wide as the wingspan of an airbus. the power of engineers to capture wind energy at sea is growing far faster than anyone dreamed off. roger harrabin, bbc news, norway. when you go to the cinema, a film about toilets may not be

what you want to see on the big screen. but sanitation is the subject of a new bollywood movie out next month. it‘s a big issue in india, where around half a billion people don‘t have access to adequate facilities. the film called ‘toilet‘, is a love story set against the backdrop of the indian prime minister‘s initiative to provide more households with toilets. the bbc asian network‘s shabnam mahmood has more. singing song, dance and plenty of laughs. but this indian movie also uncovers the taboo subject of open defecation. it‘s very relevant and people will understand what, in this film, we are trying to say, in a very commercial manner. i personally feel it is probably the toughest scene i've ever done. ijust couldn't get myself to pick up my sari and squat.

i felt violated, i felt humiliated. it was very, very, very disturbing. around 5a6 million people in india don‘t have access to a functioning toilet. many women tend to venture out at night to avoid being seen, which puts them at risk of attack, even rape. for men, they can go anywhere, it really isn't a threat to their security or their health. but for women, you know, you can be pregnant, you can be on your period, there are so many aspects, what do you do? you don't have access, you can't go free yourself or relieve yourself for ia hours and in those ia hours, you are walking, you are cleaning your house, you are taking care of your children, you are working your fields, there's a lot that they do. the inspiration for the film comes from prime minister modi‘s clean india campaign of 201a, in which he promised sanitation for millions of households. he has given his backing to the movie. when he became the prime minister,

the first thing he started, he started talking to people about swachh bharat, that is clean india so for him, this subject is very close. he knew about it and was very happy. why do we need a bollywood movie? no, it‘s not needing a bollywood movie, it takes time but surely it will change a lot. so this is just a small, little contribution for keeping the air clean. it‘s notjust about providing the infrastructure, the challenge is to change the mindset of people. if you pray in the house, we cook in the house, we feed, we eat, blah, blah, blah, how can we have a bathroom, how can we do our business in the same area? it is a very big mindset issue. meanwhile, toilet: ek prem katha hopes to get its message across, bollywood style. former great british bake 0ff hosts mel and sue are to present a new version of a bbc classic show,

the generation game. it‘s been commissioned for an initial four—episode run, although a launch date has yet to be set. it was presented for many years by sir bruce forsyth. the new show will combine aspects of the original series with new games. i hope the fondue sets and the cuddly toy will be there on the joining me is louisejones from daventry in northamptonshire — who appeared onjim davidson‘s generation game christmas special in the early 2000s with her dad and also steve round, from banbury, 0xfordshire, who went on to win the generation game with his mum in 1998. thank you both very much forjoining us. thank you both very much forjoining us. i must ask you what you think about it coming back. us. i must ask you what you think about it coming backlj us. i must ask you what you think about it coming back. i think it's

fantastic news. but my mother kneeling on a saturday, time to get the family together and watch the telly, it was a big part of our lives when we were younger. it‘s a great thing is coming back. what was it like to be on it? amazing! i love the games we had, it was so much fun. so appropriate for me and my dad because we are game for a laugh. it's dad because we are game for a laugh. it‘s a great experience. dad because we are game for a laugh. it's a great experience. steve, i must ask you, you got a cuddly toy at the ends and some ghastly shirts? have you still got them?” at the ends and some ghastly shirts? have you still got them? i have. you got toy, two young boys, eight and five now. they loved the cuddly toy to bits. i have great memories of that day. are your main memories of the show? what was it like to be on it? there is somebody peeking around the door! carry on! memories of the

day, it was really surreal. the games we got to take part in. the musical sweet charity with bonnie langford. that was great fun. 0h, i‘m sorry, we seem to have lost one of our guests. i don‘t know if we have the other one. i'm still bear! what about the new show coming along? i must ask you, this was the thing most people remember, the things going by. how did you do with that? we didn't get that far. we did really well on the games, and the second game we had, shaving sunset

with a razor, the guy said to my dad, can you start on monday? the audience clapped loads. basically, we got scorers and it meant we were through to a tie—breaker. the tie—break question, oh, my god, it was, what is the fourth month of the year? which is my birthday month. i just was stumped. i couldn't say it. my dad got it in but too late. we actually lost on a tie—breaker. my dad got it in but too late. we actually lost on a tie-breaker. we lost steve for a moment but i think we have him back. what do you think of the show coming back, as a viewer? what you think it ought to be? it has to be updated?” viewer? what you think it ought to be? it has to be updated? i think it should keep to its origins and should keep to its origins and should be a show for all the family. i have two young boys now so i think they will think it‘s fantastic. mel and sue have done a greatjob on the

bag off so i‘m sure they will make a success of this as well. we have to have the conveyor belt at the end, don‘t we? have the conveyor belt at the end, don't we? with a cuddly toy, most definitely. bank you very much. grateful to you both forjoining us, bringing us back some memories. thank you. thank you. what about the prospects for the weather over the next two days? the latest forecast with nick miller. hello. heavy showers continued to affect parts of a modern wales this evening. slowly fading into the night. an area of rain moving out of southern scotland across more than in winter the midlands. clear skies in the west, with the youth of batch is developing. provisions for most of us in double figures, some clear response in the west to get down to single figures in the countryside. into tomorrow, a split across the uk. right in central and eastern
