the bank of england has said families are facing the worst squeeze on their incomes for more than a century. it has warned of slowing falling economic growth and rising inflation. the bank's governor, mark carney, said that uncertainty over brexit was curbing pay rises and leading to delays in business investment. here is our business editor, simonjack. there hasn't been much summer cheer on the beach in margate this week. the weather, overcast, and some bracing headwinds, much like the uk economy. and there was precious little sunshine shed when the bank of england governor delivered its latest forecast. he explained how the recent fall in the pound was starting to make us all poorer. households looked through brexit—related uncertainties initially. but more recently, as the consequences of sterling's fall have shown up in the shops and squeezed their real incomes, they've cut back on spending, slowing the economy. the bank cut its growth forecast for this year from 1.9% to 1.7%. it also downgraded its estimate for next year, from 1.7% to 1.6%. meanwhile, it pushed up its inflation forecast, saying it'll rise from 2.6% now to peak around 3% later this year, while wage rises this year remain unchanged at 2%. that widening gap is being felt in margate. the price of food has definitely gone up. butter, cheese, bacon. i've noticed those things have gone up. yeah, wages aren't going up in lne with inflation. the bus, transport, everything is so expensive now. i drive now, and even then, car insurance has gone up.

it's getting ridiculous now. £140 a month, i can't afford it, you know? prices are going up and our pensions are not keeping up with it. for the same amount of money, you're getting about two thirds of the goods that you used to be. you're getting about two thirds so, we're cutting back all the time. you're getting about two thirds in another years' time, i'll be sitting here a little skeleton! brexit was a theme that ran through everything the governor said today. the post—referendum fall in sterling has pushed up prices. that, in turn, that is affecting customer confidence and businesses, faced within uncertainty, are not making investments they otherwise would have made. all of those pressures are combining to affect the uk economy's long—term ability to grow. business investment is still likely to grow below historic averages, with adverse consequences for productivity, capacity and wages. for many, however, the bank's pronouncements are not only too downbeat, but also stray too far into politics. we should take the bank of england's forecast with a pinch of salt, they're notoriously

bad at forecasting. then, of course we have project fear mark 2, the bank of england, the cbi and treasury department are all ganging up again to make us frightened of brexit. even the bank's own staff are unhappy about wages. it's only when pay starts to catch up with prices that we may see interest rates rise. that is not expected until next year. simon jack, bbc news. one of britain's most experienced judges has made a scathing attack on mental health provision in england. giving judgment in the case of an extremely vulnerable teenage girl who is in custody, sirjames munby said it was disgraceful that it is proving so difficult to find suitable provision for her when she is released in 11 days' time. he went on to say that the state would have blood on its hands if the teenager, who has a history of self—harming, should attempt to take her life again. here is our home editor mark easton, on a case that highlights the crisis in mental health care.

"a disgraceful and utterly shaming lack of proper provision for young mental health patients in england." the words of one of england's's most senior judges, sirjames munby, head of the family division. he issued an extraordinary statement after being unable to find any suitable hospital bed for a suicidal 17—year—old girl, due for release from custody in just over a week. "it is a disgrace to any country with pretensions to civilisation, compassion and — dare one say it — basic human decency, that a judge in 2017 should be faced with the problems thrown up by this case", sirjames said. the girl in question is from the north—west of england and is currently so disturbed she's dressed in clothes she cannot use to hang herself in a youth custody centre with just a mattress on the floor and no personal belongings. her behaviour is a violent, self harming and aggressive to others. the judge's frustration at not being able to find suitable accommodation spilled into public today. "i feel shame and embarrassment, shame as a human being, as a citizen and as an agent of the state. embarrassment as head of familyjustice, that i can do no more." "if when, in 11 days' time, she is released, and if, in consequence, she is enabled to make another attempt on her life, i can only say, with bleak emphasis, we will have blood on our hands." x is a girl who, at the moment,

has a determined wish, "if when, in 11 days' time, she is released, and if, in consequence, she is enabled to make another attempt on her life, i can only say, with bleak emphasis, we will have blood on our hands." x is a girl who, at the moment, has a determined wish, it appears, to kill herself. the big problem we've got is that we don't fully understand those needs. the government offered no comment on thejudge's remarks. all questions were referred to nhs england which said, in a statement, we have heard the comments from the judge and completely agree that a solution must be found. together with other agencies involved, we're continuing every effort to find the most appropriate care setting for this young woman. every day we talk to children, young people, parents and carers who are in the community, worried about how they're

going to access mental health care. there isn't enough support in the community and there are really high thresholds to get into hospital care. and, meanwhile, people are left without support. after complaints from police that cells were used to accommodate youngsters who should be in a mental health unit, the government introduced a law earlier this year banning their use for such purposes. but doctors warn there is still a critical shortage of appropriate care beds. a recent survey of people working in child and adolescent mental health services in england found 62% had seen adolescent patients held in inappropriate settings. 77% said young, high—risk patients were left in the community because of a shortage of beds, with 14% saying young patients had attempted suicide while waiting for a suitable bed. the report urged government to prioritise investment in young people's crisis care as a matter of urgency. this is not a unique case. families are being let down

routinely across our country and there is a moral imperative that we address this as a matter of real urgency. the government has said it will increase the number of mental health staff working in the nhs in england by 21,000 and the prime minister has promised a revolution in mental health care. but the agonies of a judge unable to help a suicidal young woman suggest the revolution has some way to go. some mental health patients are waiting years to be discharged from hospital, despite being medically fit to leave. figures obtained by bbc news reveal at least five patients had to wait over three years to be discharged. hundreds more had to spend another six months longer in hospital than they actually needed to. joining me now to talk more about this is dr ranga rao from the royal college of psychiatrists. there is clearly a problem with this

system, as we are hearing about these delays of discharge. the context is the amount of people available for inpatient care around the country. an independent report has been commissioned to this. it was launched last year and makes a number of recommendations. 0ne was launched last year and makes a number of recommendations. one of the factors is that we are not able to discharge agents, which has been revealed to as delayed discharges. ata simple revealed to as delayed discharges. at a simple level, you could have someone at a simple level, you could have someone who has come on in a crisis situation, maybe for right partner

has said the did not want them all. it takes a while for this to be sorted out. are we talking about hospital beds? and also a shortage of other accommodation? the two different situations. one is the general problems within the social care. but then it is a different kind of setting for eating the recovery. 0ne kind of setting for eating the recovery. one is a patient who may be need some sort of support in hospital. you may need a liaison for two or three months to find a suitable accommodation. 0thers two or three months to find a suitable accommodation. others may be need long—term care and that sort of provision is what is lacking at the moment. many of the delayed

discharges because of that and there are many recommendations within the report. identifying the appropriate problem, then an issue about funding, who is paying for it. if you have two or three players within the funding, it becomes more complicated. this is because different parts of the system and not communicating with each other and being efficient enough? is it just a matter of money, pitting more funding into the system? firstly, there's an issue with regard to rehabilitation. we need more long—term care, not in a hospital setting. the provision for that is insufficient, so that is a need to look at that. the other one is about

people working together. we have the system is joined up, people working together. we have the system isjoined up, things to move faster. we are things are notjoined up, we have a lot of panels applying forfunding and up, we have a lot of panels applying for funding and this up, we have a lot of panels applying forfunding and this can lead to delays. and then there is the category of patients who need more specialised care, which may be a very different setting to, for example, someone very different setting to, for example, someone who has suffered a stroke. it is these different types of accommodation that we need to be finding. three men convicted of terror offences, who called themselves the three musketeers, have been jailed for life for plotting an attack on a police or military target. naweed ali, mohibur rahman and khobaib hussain, all from the west midlands, were told they would spend at least 20 years in prison for their role in the planned attack. a fourth man, tahir aziz, was also given a life term. the trio refused to leave their prison cells to

hear their sentences. the men were caught in a joint operation between mi5 and west midlands police. the set up a fake courier company. they managed to get two of the men to work for the most drivers and it was only when the examined the car of one of the men they found a bag of weapons. it was ammunition and a large knife. the judge thought an attack was imminent and would have led to what he described to considerable loss of life and that is why he gave these sentences to these men. he said they would each served 20 years as a minimum and present. pc called

themselves the three musketeers. each had been imprisoned previously for terrorism offence. two of them had gone to a terrorism training camp in pakistan. a fourth man joined the plan later on. he will serve at least 15 years. the lawyers had argued that they were in fact fitted up, framed by west midlands police and the security services. thejudge said police and the security services. the judge said any allegation of that thought was unfounded. he said they were dangerous men. he said you only needed to look at the terrible events in manchester and london to see the carnage that people could cause when they go out intent on killing people with explosives and a knife. a surgeon who was jailed after carrying out unnecessary breast operations has had his sentence increased. the court of appeal ruled that

ian paterson's initial 15—year jail term was unduly lenient, and it has raised it to 20 years. 0ur health editor, hugh pym, reports. that's now been increased to 20 years... yes! tracy and deborah, two of ian paterson's victims. news of the higher sentence was just what they'd hoped for. i felt very emotional. we wanted the right decision. the increase has given the right message. we've all got life sentences. but 20 years, to me, at least he'll serve a significant sentence. court of appealjudges said no sentence could properly reflect the suffering of paterson's patients, and they ruled he should serve an extra five years. the government lawyer who challenged the original sentence said justice had been done. the substantial increase in the sentence, to 20 years, sends out a clear message to the wider community that our system will not tolerate such egregious breaches of trust. paterson, seen here

before his sentencing, mutilated patients after deceiving them into unnecessary surgery. he watched today's hearing by videolink from prison, at times shaking his head when details of his offences were described. that angered john, who was in court today. he was talked into a double mastectomy by paterson. still shaking his head in disbelief, still muttering to himself when he doesn't agree with what's being said about him. it makes me wonder if 30 years would be enough for him to find anything within himself that doesn't say, oh, i'm completely innocent of everything. tracy and deborah weren't part of the criminal case, but they aren't hundreds more of paterson's victims are seeking damages from the hospitals where the rogue surgeon worked. a court hearing is due in a few months' time.

hugh pym, bbc news. we have some of the victims talking about the appalling experiences they have gone through. what would you describe about what the victims have faced in recent years? it has been absolutely terrible. we have had to go through the civil procedure which is gone on a number of years, but also had to fight to bring about the conviction and no, obviously, to get the rate sentence, which has been very arduous for all of them. do you believe this is the rate sentence or do some believe it should have been longer? i think, do some believe it should have been longer? ithink, obviously, when you're been through the tape of suffering that some of the victims have been through, nothing would be

long enough. but obviously, it has gone up by another five years. i think that taking into account the level of distress and disfigurement caused, that is a much better sentence. as you see, the left with physical scars, but the mental scars, as well? a huge number of people have had psychological problems, as well as the physical ones. i do not think the psychological problems will terminate any time soon, but hopefully, if we can bring to a successful conclusion these civil cases, inmate helped them being slightly rehabilitated and making a new life for herself. it seems astonishing that the has been no checks and balances at the time to prevent the surge in acting in this way absolutely. there are various areas that we would like to bring

about at the civil trial. it seems that he was brought to book by the national health service in 2007. u nfortu nately, national health service in 2007. unfortunately, that did not end up with him being suspended at that time. the correct information information was not necessarily passed on to the private sector and it was 2011 before anything actually happened to bring about his suspension. thank you very much for joining us. the bank of england cuts its growth forecasts and warns that uncertainty over brexit has hit high—street spending and business investment. a seniorjudge has condemned mental health support for young people and says the state could have blood on its hands over the case of a suicidal teenager. a breast surgeon who intentionally wounded several patients, has had his 15—yearjail term, increased to 20. also in the next hour,

tributes to the stage and screen actor robert hardy. the star of all creatures great and small and the harry potter films has died at the age of 91. there is new evidence tonight about the challenges faced by england's poorest children when it comes to making progress in the classroom. a study by the education policy institute has found that pupils on free school meals can be up to two years behind their better—off classmates by the time they finish secondary school. 0ur education editor branwen jeffreys reports from darlington. nicole gibbon is not afraid of tough jobs. she took on a darlington school in crisis and worked to win trust from parents. some families, and darlington certainly isn't unique to this by a long stretch, social mobility is incredibly low and don't leave the area. schools here get less funding than london and nicole told me many families have never moved from darlington. you have to take mum, dad, nan,

grandpa with me on thatjourney, so that we're all working together and there's nobody behind, we're all together. what are the kind of fears they might have? the unknown. the unknown, the lack of experience and lack of opportunities that they perhaps didn't have themselves, through no fault of their own. but it is the unknown and that fear of, we're all right as we are. some parts of england have reduced the education gap. it's seven or eight months in tower hamlets, hackney and southwark, all of them london boroughs. but it's 25 to 27 months in darlington, derby and south gloucestershire. £72 million of extra money to improve social mobility is going to some parts of england. but that money won't reach these streets in darlington, or other areas highlighted in today's report. this isn'tjust about the cash that schools get, although that does make a difference. it's about communities, too.

communities where the belief in education as a passport to a different, better life has simply been lost. these teenagers, learning life skills on a national scheme. but already, at 16, set on very different directions. i'm sinead, and i want to be an actress. i'm jess and i want to be in the military police. i'm nicole and i want to be go the navy. i'm dave and i want to be a professional chef. the people who were doing better more likely had a better family situation. they've got more money than some of us. but it all depends on how much you want to learn as well. do you think it would have made a difference if, when you were little, you believed you were going to go to uni? probably, because then you're determined to carry on and go to uni. the gap matters for their future and our ours too, because failings in education hold back our economy.

bra nwen jeffreys, bbc news and darlington. the police watchdog says an object which was removed from the throat of a man who died following a police chase contained a mixture of paracetamol and caffeine. rashan charles was seen on a shop's cctv camera being apprehended by an officer and appearing to put something in his mouth. his death in east london sparked unrest in the local area. the independent police complaints commission is investigating. let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories making the bbc news. british airways cabin crew have extended their long—running strike over pay, for a further two weeks from august 16th, until the end of the august bank holiday. members of the unite union have already taken 60 days of strike action. a benefits cheat who said he couldn't walk more than 50 metres, but managed to climb mount kilimanjaro and won a triathlon, has been sentenced to 20 weeks in prison by a court in south wales.

mark lloyd, who is 33, received thousands of pounds in personal independence payments, yet continued to live an active lifestyle. a manhunt is underway in america, for an oxford university employee and a us academic. andrew warren, seen here on the right, a treasury assistant at the university, and wyndham lathem, an american professor, are accused of stabbing to death a hair stylist in chicago. police officers have been told to use "extreme caution" if they're sighted. the actor robert hardy has died at the age of 91. his career on the stage, on television and in film spanned more than 70 years. he became a household name in the 1970s, with all creatures great and small, and later, as the minister for magic, cornelius fudge in the harry potter films. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito looks back at his career. it was all creatures great and small that truly made robert hardy a household name. for 12 years, he played the vet, siegfried. i hold you responsible

for biggins, james. the character mirrored his own personality, which was describe by his family today as "a bit gruff, but also elegant and twinkly". it was a role that needed a bit of grit. i remember a day when we did a lambing sequence all through the night, in the dead ice—cold of winter, deep snow and endless frost... our own agency — an international feature service. it pays well. in the 1960s, he had appeared opposite richard burton, his old friend from his days at oxford, in the spy who came in from the cold. often, i don't know who does publish, i must confess. we few, we happy few! we band of brothers! his early career was rather shakespearean. he revelled in the grand patriotic speech and will forever be linked with one particular patriotic character —

churchill. they are looking for weapons! now, they will soon be looking for war. he played the role is six times. we strongly suspect... and when the harry potter films needed a pompous minister for magic, it was a part that could have been written for robert hardy. or am i talking the most absolute nonsense? like siegfried, it was what he was best at — characters full of bluster and grand gestures that were trying desperately hard to hide the softer, more vulnerable person within. we have our differences, don't we? but we do understand each other, wouldn't you say? we all know it feel like autumn in

the united kingdom, a record—breaking heatwave is running across many areas of europe. southern europe is sweltering. the swimming pools may be full but many rivers and reservoirs have been emptied by drought. millions of people are struggling to stay cool on a continent getting hotter. normally across southern europe temperatures are generally between 28 and 30 degrees. those temperatures are around ten to 15 celsius above average at the moment. very high. and the persistence of the heatwave is causing problems across the region. there is no relief at night either. in the south of france it is 31 degrees. that is at all half past ten. this constant heat has consequences. wildfires have become a growing

problem across europe. this one is in croatia, where more than 150 people battled through the night to protect those living nearby. climate change means problems like this are likely to get worse. southern european climate is variable year—on—year but the evidence would suggest that what we are seeing here is out of the ordinary, and perhaps evidence that these extreme temperatures, heatwaves, are becoming more extreme and dalton were frequent. 2003 saw the hottest european temperatures in 500 years. its impact was devastating. it caused the biggest fall in agricultural output in a century and tens of thousands of deaths, most of them in france. that is something else we may have to be if left unchecked, it estimated the rising global temperatures could cause 40% more heat related deaths in britain by the end of the century, more than 18,000 a year. but in central and southern europe, those deaths could

double to more than 173,000 each year. for those on the beach at weston—super—mare today, a little bit of sunshine might have been welcome. europe's heatwave is not expected to reach the uk this week at least. but climate change means we could all be in for some unwelcome weather in the years to come. richard lister, bbc news. we can no find out what the weather is doing. the heaviest showers falling across northern scotland. some very impressive". this wet weather will continue to be across parts of scotland. more persistent rain pushing south. it should stay

largely dry into the small hours and the south. tomorrow, again, most of the south. tomorrow, again, most of the show was on to the north. towards the south east, with later when, 2a celsius. saturday again brings showers. particularly heavy ones in wales, pushing across right to east anglia. sunday should be largely dry, but with rain spreading from the west later on. you hello. this is bbc news with vicki young. the headlines: the bank of england downgrades its growth forecasts for this year and next — warning that the uk economy will remain "sluggish" because of uncertainty surrounding brexit. a seniorjudge warns that society will have blood on its hands, if a suicidal teenage girl is released from custody without adequate supervision. it comes as figures show some mental health patients are waiting years to be discharged.

a surgeon who was jailed after carrying out unnecessary breast operations has had his sentence increased. the court of appeal ruled that ian paterson's initial fifteen—year jail term was unduly lenient and raised it to 20 years. research suggests that children from the very poorest families in some parts of england could be two years behind their peers by the end of secondary school. robert hardy, star of all creatures great and small and the harry potter films, has died at the age of 91. his family described him as "gruff, elegant, twinkly and always dignified". and a moment, a record transferfee for brazilian football star neymar. we will assess what this deal means for football. one of the most seniorjudges in britain has delivered a scathing assessment of the support available to young people with mental health problems.

the president of the family division in england and wales, sirjames munby, said he felt shame and embarrassment that an nhs hospital bed had not been found for a 17 year—old girl, who's tried to kill herself several times and is due to be released from custody. his criticism comes as figures obtained by bbc news revealed that some mental health patients are waiting years to be discharged from hospital, despite being medically fit to leave. joining me now to talk more on delayed discharge within mental health care is danielle hamm, associate director of campaigns and policy at the mental health charity rethink mental illness there seems to be a problem with your system, what is your assessment and what could be the solution? these figures are shocking, hundreds of people waiting months or years in some cases, being delayed from secure hospitals where they are effectively deprived of their liberty. it shows the shocking human cost of

the inadequate mental health provisions. we are talking about people in hospital with nowhere to go when they leave. why is it happening? because provision is not there. we have had historic underfunding of mental health services which is one issue but this isa services which is one issue but this is a learning community support and in particular supported housing. these people have seen the most severe delays because of lack of posting. we know there is a shortfall of 16,000 beds in the uk of supported housing places and the government is planning to cap the benefits to supported housing, making the problem worse. is the solution more money? do you think there has been too many cuts to the system or is it an increase in the number of people suffering

from mental health conditions and complicated conditions? it is multifaceted but, focusing on money, it cost £16,000 a month to keep somebody in a secure unit, at most it cost £2000 a month to give somebody in supported housing. you see the difference. it is about organisation and joining up different parts of the system. the government has put a lot of money into mental health and in particular community support but without good housing there is simply nowhere to live then you cannot access that community support. so it is about investing in all parts of the system, particularly supported housing. your concern is money is going into some parts of the system but not all of the system and so it begins to fall down. the government said this week and have said for several years they want parity between physical health and mental health. do you think we are in anyway moving

towards that? i think so and i think the commitment is a genuine and welcome, however if we do not put that across the whole system and the government pursues their plan cuts on housing benefit that will undermine the parity agenda, lead to fewer beds in the community and undermine the good work being done. we have been campaigning on this and urging the government to scrap the current plans to cap supported housing benefit and provide sustainable funding to support the entire system. are you getting a sense from ministers and they are listening? that they are supposed to have reported by now. we are talking about a cap that is supposed to come into force next april and the government have supposed to have given a steer or direction of travel but the recess has passed and we are waiting. nine months' time the

entire system changes, providers are withdrawing provision because the financial model is unsustainable and people living with severe mental illness are very anxious about this. thank you. president trump has accused the us congress of plunging relations with russia to an all—time and very dangerous low. russia described the new sanctions as tantamount to declaring a "full—scale trade war" and show the complete impotence of the american president. the sanctions are retaliation for russia's alleged meddling in last year's election and its actions in ukraine. laura bicker is following developments from washington and joins us now. if what is the latest? president trump saying relations with russia are at an all—time low. the vice president mike pence on a

visit to montenegro has appeared to suggest that the russia is working to divide the balkans from the west. russia has responded by saying it is reg retta ble russia has responded by saying it is regrettable to unload washington is sliding ever deeper into the primitive ideology of the cold war era. this is not where president trump wanted to be and the problem for him is congress, politicians in congress, have a boxed him in so they made this bill on sanctions, put it to him, he had no choice but to sign because of the overwhelming majority that congress had. it means they could override his veto, for instance, so he had to sign and there are two things in this he does not like. first, it means it will restrain him from lifting or waving sanctions against russia in the

future. that shows republicans and democrats do not trust him not to lift sanctions against russia. second, he feels the tone and the way the sanctions have been put in place, the energy sector, constrains him and his ability to do deals and his message to congress was i was elected as a deal—maker, not you and this is why he is lashing out again on twitter. how things are going with the president of mexico? more information coming out on that also. this took place injanuary as president trump entered office and started making his first phone calls to world leaders. when it came to that phone call with the mexican president it seems they have a rather difficult discussion about the border wall. donald trump appears to in these transcripts to try to urge the mexican prime

minister to stop publicly saying he will not pay for the wall and said, you cannot say that to the press. he said if he continues to see it he would not meet with him. he goes on to suggest there were perhaps other ways of paying for the ball other than mexico paying and he said we will work it out. —— the wall. a transcript of a phone call with malcolm turnbull, prime minister of australia and in the heated exchange about australian refugees being shipped to the usa, donald trump says he does not want them, he hates those kind of people. he goes on to say this is the worst conversation she has ever had that day and said she has ever had that day and said she had a more pleasant call with vladimir putin. laura, thank you. very swell of‘s

opposition has cancelled a rally to protest against last week's collection and it has been changed until tomorrow to coincide with inauguration of assembly members. les cross to caracas. what is happening now with the postponing of this protest? it seems a bit of a game of ping—pong with the government putting back the inauguration of the assembly and the opposition putting back of their rally to call with that. this is the assembly for the constituent assembly for the constituent assembly that has been hugely controversial with the government bringing it in and the opposition saying it is anti—democratic and rewriting the constitution and something the president should not be doing. he says it is about bringing peace to the country after months of protests. tomorrow we

expect the rally to start at midday, at the same time assembly members will be inaugurated in the centre of caracas. we will be waiting to see what happens with the rally happening at the same time as the government movement because in the past we have seen violence. thank you, katie. it's been confirmed tonight that the brazilian football star, neymar, is on his way from barcelona to paris st germain for a world record fee of £200 million after the french club paid his buy—out clause. earlier today la liga, the spanish league, rejected an attempt by the player's lawyers to pay his buy—out clause. la liga had accused the french club of committing what they call "financial doping". well, to try to understand what this deal means for football, let's speak to andrew warshaw, who's the chief correspondent from inside world football. he joins us live via webcam from enfield in north london.

i think most people looking at the best will be thinking what an absolutely eye watering amounts of money, pretty sensational. that is the work i was going to use, eye watering. more than double the previous world record for a footballer. we have seen the bar raised before, 50 million, 60, 70, 100. now at 222 million euros, quite staggering. is it good for football? well, as you said, it has been described by the somewhat outspoken head of the spanish league as financial doping which will destabilise the game. however, that there are really only a handful of

clu bs there are really only a handful of clubs who can pay the sort of money. psg because they are backed by the qataris, barcelona themselves, real madrid, manchester city perhaps but very few others. i very much doubt, u nless very few others. i very much doubt, unless some like lionel messi leaves ronaldo leaves we will ever receive a fee like this in the near future. does it mean there is a tiny number of clu bs does it mean there is a tiny number of clubs that can afford this money thatis of clubs that can afford this money that is keeping out the others. it is becoming smaller and smaller asa it is becoming smaller and smaller as a group which is partly why there is so much debate about whether uefa's financialfair is so much debate about whether uefa's financial fair play rules should be implemented once again in regards to this transfer. psg have been punished a a few years ago for breaching financial fairplay rules and barcelona themselves have indicated they will pass over the

file to uefa to that uefa decide if psg have again broke the rules. and, thank you very much forjoining us. the headlines on bbc news: the bank of england cuts its growth forecasts and warns that uncertainty over brexit is weighing on businesses and households. a judge has condemned the state of mental health support for young people, saying the state could have blood on its hands over the case of a suicidal teenager. a surgeon who carried out needless breast operations, has had his 15—yearjail sentence increased to 20 years by court of appealjudges. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. the ftse is slightly up in london. five weeks into a rubbish straight in birmingham, we meet the

volu nteers in birmingham, we meet the volunteers taking matters into their own hands —— bik strike. residents of a tower block in london said safety were ta ken residents of a tower block in london said safety were taken out after the g re nfell tower said safety were taken out after the grenfell tower disaster is either shoddy or incomplete. thousands of people in camden were told to leave their homes with only a few hours notice in order that they could carry out work. we have been told the work is now finished and has been signed off. this woman lives on the 17th floor on the chalcotts estate and assisting in hotel because she says she's too scared come back here. i have two young children aged one and four, i won't be able to relax, how am i going to be able to concentrate on their safety. and when to be a nervous

wreck the whole time. after the building was evacuated the council added if fire door closer to her front door to make it safe. that's meant to make my door slams shut. you can put your hand through it. it's a bit smaller down here. fire wardens have been placed on every floor of the towers but despite this fella who lives on the ground forces she doesn't feel safe is meant to be boxed them some sort of material, but it is clearly discovered and cardboard. as you can see the wires are just left stuck how does that make you feel? it makes me feel like like my landlord doesn't have my best interest at heart. an independent fire safety expert has been carrying out his own assessment of some of the flats. the works have been a covered up.

i've come across fire breach after fire breach of gas mains, between the flat and the gas rises. the fire protection is not there. while more work still needs to be donein while more work still needs to be done in camden council insists the towers have been made safe. they have been sent off by independent building control and i did not ask anyone to move back to those blocks until i heard from the fire brigade that it was safe to do so. the removal of the cladding from the blocks will begin in the coming months, but restoring trust in the council here could take even longer. the actor robert hardy has died at the age of 91. on the line is carol drinkwater starred alongside him in

all creatures great and small. i was quite shocked, it was the bbc who broke the news to me as i was driving out of paris this afternoon. we are seeing a picture of you next to robert hardy standing in all creatures great and small. for many people that was something we remember so clearly. what was he like to work with? he was someone who raised the bar in terms of standards, he fought for a good standards, he fought for a good standard and wanted the programme to be better, always insist on making sure we were top drawer, as it were, he got us all behind him. he was like a leader. i was 26 years old for me to have someone like him to be pushing the standards was something extraordinary. his family, in the tribute, spoke of him as being gruff, elegant and twinkly. is

that how you would describe? i remember home as somebody with a mischievous and wicked sense of humour, someone who was immensely energetic, someone who was a perfectionist and someone who was quite debonair. when his family say he was graphs, that you sometimes have a bit of a temper if things weren't going to plan —— ‘s family say he wasn't going off. he did but it is more to the fact he did not tolerate fools gladly. did you follow his career afterwards ? did you follow his career afterwards? he played winston churchill several times. and he also played it i believe in paris. he actually wrote to me because i live

in france. i wasn't around at the time but he wrote to me and sent me letters in french. he also starred in muhammad potter films and i think for a different generation that will be the first —— the starred in the harry potter films. he did not talk too much about that apart from saying it was a wonderful pension! in the very last days the films could not get insured with him because of his age but he loved that at such a late stage something so popular and exciting came along. i think it really thrilled him. thank you, carol drinkwater there. thank you, carol drinkwater there. thank you forjoining us this evening. forfive weeks rubbish has been piling up on the streets

of birmingham because of a dispute between the council and bin collectors. now volunteers have started clearing the streets themselves. refuse workers have been taking strike action because of disagreements about working conditions. 0ur midlands correspondent seema kotecha reports. piles of rubbish outside homes and shops in birmingham. the smell of rotting food and human waste is no stranger to some parts of the city since bin workers went on strike five weeks ago. they say it's over conditions and pay cuts. each day they strike for three hours. and at this florist, it is causing alarm. it is unsightly and it is unhealthy for anybody. we have got rats around here. we have got foxes around here. and every day it is a question of re—bagging stuff and re—sorting stuff and making sure that it is as tidy as we can keep it. we pay for this service quarterly, in advance, and it's not cheap either. for them to just not do it and ignore us isjust very bad. this pile of rubbish is sat next to a chinese restaurant and this weather means the rotten food inside is getting wet and therefore it is smelling

a lot worse. now people who live here are taking action by cleaning it up themselves. the whole purpose of this is to encourage everybody else to stop relying on the council, roll up your sleeves. and if you can't do it, get in touch with us and we'll happily come out and clear the rubbish for you. it's absolutely disgraceful and disgusting that in the 215t century in britain, in 2017, we're living in like fourth world conditions. the council says it wants bin workers to work a shorter five—day week rather than doing four long days. bin workers say that means less money and fewer supervisor jobs. in a statement the council says... they have now collected about half of the rubbish,

but that leaves a lot of it still around. and if there isn't a resolution soon, the strike could go on until september. seema kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. so what's scottish whisky got to do with brexit? well, for one thing during the eu referendum many of the country's producers were big supporters of the remain campaign. but now it seems many have had a change of heart — buoyed up by the prospect of one—off trade deals with countries like india, where they currently face massive tariffs. 0ur scotland editor sarah smith reports. the barley, the water and the weather, make islay malt unique and, on this small island, whisky is very big business. almost 90% of scotland's amber liquor is exported overseas, so brexit will certainly be felt here. small distilleries like kilchoman do not want to lose the protected status for scotch whisky offered by eu law and they worry

about the bureaucracy that leaving the single market might entail. whereas it was very easy to export into europe, it's now going to be a little bit more difficult. and certainly, for smaller companies, i think that will have an impact, because of the amount of people that we have to comply with all the new regulations. many of the island's distilleries are owned by big firms that supported remaining inside the eu. but they are now eyeing up the opportunities brexit could bring. the whisky industry is hoping to expand sales in countries outside the eu, countries like india, for instance, which currently slaps a whopping great 150% tariff on scotch. if a new bilateral trade deal could eliminate or slash those tariffs, sales would increase enormously. the uk governnment cannot guarantee tariff—free trade, but say there is now the opportunity to try. as part of this new arrangement,

in a post—eu world, where we are negotiating the tariffs, we are not bound in by eu terms, we're able to negotiate our own terms, and getting the right deal for the whisky industry is one of our priorities. scotch whisky is a valuable product, contributing about £5 billion a year to the uk economy, supporting 30,000 jobs and making many drinkers happy. it is an industry that first feared brexit and now hopes to make it work for them. once we leave the eu, we will be the uk negotiating free trade deals, rather than a block. and so, that simplifies the negotiations, to a degree. and so, yes, we hope that it will be easier for the uk to negotiate a free—trade agreement deal with, for example, india. the economy of islay runs on whisky. much of scotland's economy runs on this water of life. and they are now looking beyond the shores of europe to try and make the best of brexit. time for the weather. sunshine and
