there is a bit more brightness, any sunshine quite hazy. you can see a lot of cloud across the country, with outbreaks of rain across central areas. as we push that rain south during the rest of today, things will start to change, initially, a north—westerly wind. northerly winds by the end of the weekend. increasingly! conditions. for the rest of the afternoon, here's the weather front trudging slowly southwards. —— chilly conditions. temperatures could get up conditions. temperatures could get up to 19 today. a few showers in the far north of scotland. this evening and tonight the band of rain moves

today at cross harbour in new south wales. the margin for errorfor england in this series is narrowing. the difference between them and australia is not. after putting australia is not. after putting australia into that england then watch them do it rather well. both openers and ellyse perry past 50 but just as the innings that to be running away from england it was put in check by heather knight, the england captain with the catch. that brought rachael haynes to decrease. drop her at your peril, 89 from 56 balls, and england had recognised chase on their hands. the storm to hit the west coast, then came the aussie surgeon battening down the hatch is not an option. both of them gone cheaply, heather knight fared little better. but from maiden half—ce ntu ry little better. but from maiden half—century from katherine brunt the england bruising would've been more brutal. the 75 run defeat them with ntl catching up to do, before the next game on sunday. —— with

plenty of catching up. the fhm and greg dyke says the national body has lost the public ‘s trust. he described last week's parliamentary hearing into allegations of discrimination by the former england women's manager is a discrimination by the former england women's manager is a very discrimination by the former england women's manager is a very damaging episode for the organisation, and promised a top to bottom cultural review of the national football centre at st george's park. team gb boxer muhammed ali is facing a long ban for testing positive for a steroid. the positive test happened in april — but ali — who won silver at last year's european championships — has been provisionally suspended since may. gb boxing says it's the first time that a member of the gb boxing squad has tested positive for a banned substance. rugby union now, and james haskell has been left out of a 34—man england squad for next month's three internationals at twickenham. the wasps back—row, who has 75 england caps, started the season with a hand injury and has been replaced by exeter‘s sam simmonds, who receives his first call—up. the england head coach says that

there is a future for the cattle and four tom wood. he has been a good little bit off or through injury and other reasons, but they can come back into contention. if you look at the squad, we have 3a players, then none available through various injuries or suspensions, so the competition for spots is very intense. england's rugby league players will use their formations as appointment as motivation to win the world cup according to their assistant coach, dennis praet. england failed to reach the four nations final after being beaten by australian who they face in the world cup in melbourne tomorrow. we haven't beaten australia since, so if you want to win a competition you probably got beat australia twice and we need to get to the final and

from hospital only to be readmitted for unplanned further treatment within 30 days. they are known as emergency readmissions. there is concern that they are on the rise. the investigation by healthwatch, the official patient watchdog collected data from just under half of all acute hospital trusts in england. it showed that, between 2012—13, and 2016—17, emergency readmissions rose by more than 20%, to more than 450,000 and that readmissions within 2a hours of discharge increased by almost 30%. most trusts were unable to say why there had been an increase. the watchdog says that a high and growing proportion of people returning to hospital so quickly raise concerns about whether pressure to free up hospital beds has had a part to play. beds that are tied up and cannot be used, that means other people not

getting treatment and having operations delayed or cancelled, it isn't everyone's interests that we explain this, with people either being sent home too quickly when not ready or sent home without the right care and support. healthwatch says it carried out this investigation because the nhs stopped publishing information about readmissions in 2013. today, nhs england said it would ensure that data was examined was examined routinely now, but stopped short of committing to publishing it. the uk's leading charity in foster care — the fostering network — has recently launched a project to recruit more muslim foster carers. they say that "thousands more foster families are needed each year, with a need for foster carers from all sectors of society including from the muslim community." ashley john—ba ptiste has been to meet some foster carers and care leavers with their own experiences of interracial and interfaith foster care. the government say interracial and interfaith fostering

should be a last resort, but for some councils, it's a choice between that or leaving a child in a care home. over 72,000 children in the uk are in care. according to latest figures, over 53,000 of these are fostered. rebecca was fostered at the age of 12 by the arshads‘, a pakistani muslim couple in nottingham. having just turned 18, she is now a care leaver but continues to live with the family under an arrangement called "staying put". it's legislation that allows care leavers to stay care leavers to stay with their foster parents if both parties agree to it. where there any cultural changes moving into this home? i'm not a spicy person so a lot of the food, they have to make it so mild. you can't, like, walk in front of someone if they're praying. i didn't know that when i first came in. have you ever wanted to see rebecca become a muslim? we've discussed it with her, how would she feel, but we've never

imposed saying "rebecca, you should become a muslim" because you're in our household. rebecca has got her own identity. when i first went to pakistan, i was talking to one of my friends on facebook and he was like "what are you doing?" and i wasjust like, "ah, i'm on holiday". and he was like, "where are you?" i said pakistan. and was like, "so where are you living?" with my family and he was like, "you're living with terrorists". i was like, "excuse me!" they haven't said to me directly, but they have said it behind my back. "i bet her parents have got, like, explosives or bombs or whatever in their home", i'm just like, "i live there". the government doesn't have figures on how many interracial placements exist. we do know however that last year saw a rise in the number of children in care from ethnic minority backgrounds, and whilst it's estimated that 3,000 muslim children are put into foster care every year, only a quarter of long—term foster carers are from an ethnic minority. jerome is a 26—year—old care leaver.

he was put in care at the age of four and recalls the strong cultural barriers in his first foster home. the first family i lived with was an indian family and they were muslim as well, and it was just a massive culture shock because my mum was white and they were asian and it was like, "0k, what's going on here", in a sense. we didn't like the food because we didn't recognise it. 0ur mum used to cook corned beef and rice and english breakfast and that disappeared. to be fair, they lost us. your carer's job is to find you, but they actually lost us as kids. the fostering network, a leading charity in foster care, says that thousands more carers are needed each year from all sectors of society. they recognise the need for more muslim foster parents. they have recently launched a project to recruit more of them. a group of veterans from hms

coventry have returned to the falkland islands 35 years after she was sunk off shore. for some it was the first time they've set foot on the british territory since they helped liberate it. 0ur reporter kevin reide was the only reporter invited to join them on this emotional journey, one in which they remembered the 19 shipmates who lost their lives. heading to the falklands for the first time since their ship was sunk, 35 years ago. these 12 survivors from hms coventry will tour the islands before visiting the exact tour the islands before visiting the exa ct pla ce tour the islands before visiting the exact place in the south atlantic which so nearly claimed their lives. tonight is a very odd feeling but one thing i do know is that i travel down the people that i sailed with who were at that time only young men and had a full head of hair. it is a great comfort to be going back with the chaps that i served with in the first place. one of the ships of the

task force has been badly damaged. and early reports are that she is in difficulty. hms coventry was sunk by argentine air strikes during the falklands war. 20 crewmen lost their lives. they are almost nearly 1000 who were killed in the conflict. the islands were finally freed when troops forced surrender at the capitol, fort stanley, the first stop on the veterans‘ return, and they were welcomed almost immediately. wonderful to see them. they are always welcome. they are all heroes, to us. it was then down to days of touring, part of which we re to days of touring, part of which were seeing to days of touring, part of which were seeing some to days of touring, part of which were seeing some of the war scars still littered across these remote islands. it is believed that matter to shot down this fighterjets, a poignant moment for birmingham born tony rees. —— it is believed that hms coventry shot down this fighter jets. hms coventry came under heavy

air attack from argentine sky hawks. they visited a day which hms coventry was protecting from fighter jets. and so, too, to various memorials and military cemeteries. just to see it, it is very nice. falkland island and tour guide tony anderson was one of 115 held hostage at this village hall on to screen. they were released after 29 days. at this village hall on to screen. they were released after 29 daysm makes you feel proud of the english people that lost their lives, that they are appreciated. we can‘t thank

them enough. but it wasn't all sombre. by sheer turn of fate on the first evening out, the bar that they went into was already occupied by argentine veterans, also ornate tool. fortunately it was all smiles and handshakes. carlos was a military doctor on a hospital ship and treated 70 casualties. he told me that embracing the hms coventry crew was like completing a full circle, and that he had lasting hopes for peace. during the falklands conflict you would have been able to see hms coventry on the horizon behind me in the south atlantic. for the next stage of their tour, the veterans will go out to the very spot where she was sunk, 35 years ago. just before a final stop off at a special memorial to

hms coventry, on the land nearest to where she sunk, heather island. it was here that these men were once scrabbling for their lives. —— scrambling. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc news: the wife of a burning man who planned a terrorist attack in the city has been found guilty of assisting him by buying the weapon you was going to use. an nhs trust insists it will not press ahead with plans to put recovering nhs patients in rented a b8b style rooms to relieve pressure on hospital beds, without the necessary safeguarding arrangements in place. police and immigration officers arrested 11 people in one briton‘s biggest ever operations against people smuggling. raids have taken place across europe tackle the gang. now the business

than in the same period last year. tamzen isacsson is from the organisation and explained one of the reasons there‘s been a drop. we have seen a lot of uncertainty, much of it related to brexit so we are getting input from consumers and businesses that they are delaying these big ticket purchase items which is why, in the uk, we have seen which is why, in the uk, we have seen this decline of 14%. now new data suggests that workers are not going to receive substantial pay rises, as inflation is expected to continue to rise. that‘s according to new research which suggests employers are planning another year of low pay awards. the study found more than three— quarters of the employers questioned are planning to give pay rises, but most likely at the same level as they paid over the past year. sheila attwood is the editor of pay and benefits at xperthr, schiller, this isn‘t entirely

surprising given the level of inflation. —— sheila. are some employers using it as an excuse? employers look at different factors when looking to set pay awards for employees. so on the upside there is inflation but they have got to match recruitment and retention pressures, playing more where there are skills shortages and paying what they can afford to pay. we have got pensions increases coming up and auto enrolment next april. we have higher than average increases in the national minimum wage so a lot of factors to take into account. what will encourage employers to be more generous with their pay rises?m will encourage employers to be more generous with their pay rises? it is about what they can afford to pay. if the business is doing well then they can afford to offer. the other key factor is if one employer increases by a higher amount then others will follow suit so the key thing that they will look at is what

other industries are playing and what other employers are giving their employees. so a competitive market. there‘s lots of pay benchmarking going on. if they looked like losing a large section of their workforce then they will start increasing pay to make sure that doesn‘t happen. start increasing pay to make sure that doesn't happen. from an employee perspective if you find yourself needing a pay rise, what should they do? you can ask but if there isn‘t trade union membership that they used to have in those industries were it is your trade union will be behind you fighting for those increases and if you are ina for those increases and if you are in a skills shortage position good fighting position to try to get a little bit more than the 2% that we have been talking about. thank you very much forjoining us, sheila. lets take a look at some of the other business stories. and there are more problems for japan‘s third largest steel—maker, kobe, as it‘s losing its government—backed quality seal for copper products. it comes after the data falsification scandal. the company said it was revoked because of "improper quality

house—builder barratt is not on the board. that‘s it from me. i‘ll be back later with more business news. the winner of the royal institute of british architects most prestigious award — the stirling prize — will be announced next tuesday. in the running to become britain‘s best new building are a new college campus in glasgow, a london housing development and a rejuvenated seaside pier on the south coast of england. today, we look at the british museum world conservation and exhibitions centre in london by rogers stirk harbour and partners. music the museum had a very complex, protean master plan for the site. it was supplementing the front of house experience and adding

conservation and science special exhibitions, particularly logistics and other things left over from being in the same compound as the work that‘s been available for 250 years. so what we did was spend a tremendous amount of time with the museum understanding their wants and needs to try and respond to this brief. essentially, we wanted to create a world conservation and exhibition centre for the whole of the museum campus. this is really a celebration of all the background work maintains this collection and studies it appropriately. it also creates a fantastic vehicle within which those contributions and exchanges can exist. the building is a state—of—the—art facility for conservation and scientific research. it has helped to bring all of those staff together, to work together, and it has also helped us to design new laboratory facilities that help to preserve the collection, to better understand the collection and to communicate that to the wider public.

i think what‘s unique about this building is that it‘s a strikingly modern building in a very sensitive conservation environment. for me personally, spending seven years at the british museum, full time, by the end of the process, i felt like i work here, rather than at rogers stirk harbour and partners. and you can see all the nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and find out who is the winner of the riba stirling prize for architecture live on the news channel next tuesday between 8.30 and 9pm. time now for the weather with ben rich. good afternoon. it may be pretty gloomy and cloudy out there at the moment but at least it is mild for most of us. that will change over the next few days with temperatures heading downwards. at the moment we have a lot of mist and merck and low cloud. that was how it looked in
