tariffs on steel and aluminium. 30,000 people work in the british steel industry — which is now bracing itself for the impact of president trump's protectionist measures we are really equally worried, from a whole sector point of view, of a flood of steel that would normally have gone to the us coming to our market, needing to find a new home in europe, dropping down prices and destabilising our sector. we'll have the latest on possible eu retaliation from our correspondent in brussels. also this lunchtime. claims that new timetables have caused carnage on the railways — and calls for the transport secretary to resign. things are just beyond a joke at the moment. people's lives are being ruined by this shambolic rail industry. the end of an era in spanish politics — a vote of no confidence forces prime minister mariano rajoy out of office. the pinball kids

of the care system — a warning that thousands of children are at risk because they're moved around the system too often. as people prepared to commemorate the first anniversary this weekend of the terrorist attacks on london bridge and borough market, i'll be speaking to one young woman who survive to. and hanging up her collection tin at last — after 97 years of selling poppies, this former second world war nurse finally retires from fundraising for the royal british legion. and coming up on bbc news, england's cricketers make vital early breakthroughs on the first morning of the final test against pakistan at headingley as they look to end their recent slump inform. eu leaders will announce in the next few minutes how they'll retaliate

against the united states, after president trump slapped big tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium. the tariffs, of up to 25%, came into force this morning, and they apply to canada and mexico, as well as the eu. the french president, emmanuel macron, told mr trump in a phone call last night that the new duties are illegal. the eu is expected to respond with tariffs of its own on american goods like cranberries, bluejeans and florida orangejuice. theo leggett reports. donald trump has made it clear time and time again, he thinks imports of cheap foreign steel and aluminium are harming us industry. the

american steel industry has been ravaged by aggressive foreign trade practices. it is really an assault on our country. his tariffs are meant to protect the workers at steel mills in pennsylvania, michigan and indiana. it could end up michigan and indiana. it could end up costing jobs outside the united states. the new tariffs could have a significant impact on the uk's steel industry. last year but if businesses exported about 350,000 tonnes of steel and steel products tonnes of steel and steel products to the united states. it is a trade worth around £350 million a year and it accounts for about 7% of total production here. but people within the industry are worried that damage to the sector could go beyond the loss of some sales. one possible worry is about the direct impact of exports to the us and that market being closed off to us. but we are really equally worried from the whole sector point of view of a flood of steel which would have normally gone to the us come into

oui’ normally gone to the us come into our market, needing to find a new home in europe, dropping down prices and destabilising our sector and pushing us right back into a steel crisis. 31,000 people still work within the uk steel industry. unions are worried thatjobs could be at risk if the us continues with it current policy. 0ther risk if the us continues with it current policy. other sectors like the car industry may also be vulnerable. it is notjust about steel, it is about aerospace as well, about our manufacturing industries, the whole thing is quite frankly ridiculous, the way trump is dealing with this. we need to sort out the question of global overcapacity. consumers may suffer, too. us imports such as harley—davidson motorcycles may be about to become more expensive. they are on a long list of american imports which the eu has targeted for tariffs of its own. so, how likely is a full—blown trade war?m is hard to say, i think it is easy to describe this as a high—stakes

poker game and everyone is waiting to see who will be first to give in, whose bluff is going to work best. we think trump is bluffing and we are not sure yet. but if no-one backs down, then the conflict could escalate and more tariffs might soon beyond their way. that could help some workers in the so—called american rustbelt. but analysts say it will come at a high price for both businesses and consumers on both businesses and consumers on both sides of the atlantic. let's talk to our correspondent, adam fleming, in brussels. adam, european leaders clearly furious with these new tariffs — how can they fight back? well, we're going to find out in a couple of minutes a bit more detail, because eu trade commissioner is about to do a press c0 nfe re nce eu trade commissioner is about to do a press conference here in brussels where she will run through all the measures they're going to take. and we have got a pretty good idea of what they are going to be, because

eu officials have spent a couple of months working on this because they knew it was potentially on the horizon. there's three strands to their response. number one, they will be going to the world trade 0rganisation will be going to the world trade organisation and launching a dispute because they think these tariffs are illegal and are based on protecting the us steel and aluminium industry, not national security, like donald trump says. the second part, this enormous list of american imports to the eu which will have tariffs slapped on them. that could start as soon as the next couple of weeks, in the middle ofjune and it includes iconic ducts like florida orange juice, peanut butter, harley—davidson motorbikes and jeans. the third part which will ta ke jeans. the third part which will take a bit longer is what they call safeguarding, how to protect the european steel and aluminium industry from all of those exports that were destined to go to america but now can't and could end up in the eu, depressing prices here and affecting the domestic industry. for now all the 28 countries of the eu,

which still includes the uk, have been pretty united on what to do. the question is what happens if this escalates and if donald trump targets next perhaps the german car industry, which is very important to germany but might be less important to other countries? but for the moment eu seems pretty united and we will get some more details within minutes. there's renewed pressure on the transport secretary, chris grayling, after another day of chaos for rail passengers in the north of england. customers have vented their anger at northern and govia thameslink railway following weeks of disruption blamed on the introduction of new timetables. the two operators were responsible for almost a thousand late or cancelled trains in just one day alone. mr grayling insists the government is driving the biggest modernisation of the network since victorian times. alison freeman reports. they stand, they watch, they wait. for almost three weeks now, passengers on the northern rail network have been facing severe disruption after a new

timetable was introduced. here at manchester piccadilly station, frustration is growing. very inconvenient and inconsiderate. i don't think it's cost—effective, what they're doing. everybody‘s disgruntled with it. every day, it's the same thing, it's cancelled or delayed. after work, i have to get a taxi to get home. these things probably don't count for the national rail service, but for me, it's money lost out of my pocket. it's five miles into manchester and you'd rather catch the train, but it seems to me that people are going to stop using the trains and go back to the car. they keep saying there's no drivers. well, the drivers were there before they changed the times. i don't understand it. northern rail says this isn't a problem caused by a lack of staff or rolling stock. instead, it's blaming logistics, saying under the new timetable, it's struggling to get trains and their drivers in the right place at the right time.

the information board paints a picture of the problem — trains delayed or cancelled. it's the same story every day for hundreds of services between the north‘s major cities. the passenger action group northern fail says 2,224 routes have been fully cancelled since 18th may and a further 1,377 routes have been part—cancelled. today, all trains have been cancelled on the lakes line in cumbria, a total of 3a services. it sometimes feels to me like northern commuters are invisible to them. they just don't care, and the time of northern commuters is not the same as commuters in london and the south. well, frankly, as mayor of greater manchester, i'm not going to accept that. things are just beyond a joke at the moment. people's lives are being ruined by this shambolic rail industry. the rail workers' union, the rmt, has accused the transport secretary chris grayling of going into hiding,

leaving front—line staff to deal with the brunt of public anger. they've called for his resignation and the rail company to be sacked, with the network brought back into public ownership. but in the meantime, the disruption and frustration for passengers continues. and alison is at manchester piccadilly now. alison, one rail union talking about carnage on the railways? to be fair, we have seen some trains coming and going today, so not complete carnage. but there have definitely been plenty of delays. we know that this scene is being repeated at train stations across the north of england today. commuters tell us it tends to get worse as the day goes on and it gets more acute. we know today that northern rail cancelled 212 trains, a further 81 are part cancelled, meaning they do not stop

at all stops they are meant to before they reach their destination. we have heard in the last hour that an emergency timetable is going to be introduced on monday. but the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has criticised that, calling it a threadbare service which is no solution. northern rail say they are trying to find a solution but so far no other decisions have been made to. transport secretary chris grayling has been accused of hiding but today he has released a statement in which he has released a statement in which he says he has been in discussions with network rail, northern rail and the other train companies involved and he says that the situation we are experiencing has been totally unacceptable. alison, thank you. there's a warning today that too many young people are being shifted around the care system. the children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, says that in one year, nearly 2,400 children in care changed their home, their school and their social worker. she described them as "pinball

kids", being "pinged around the system". ministers insist they have taken steps to create a more stable environment for vulnerable children. 0ur education correspondent, elaine dunkley, reports. jack — not his real name — went into care three years ago after a troubled home life. but he struggled with the instability of constantly being moved around to different foster homes. at first i was a bit more, i don't want your help, i'm just here because you guys have put me here. so i was being a little baby, for instance. i wasn't really trying to let them help me, because i needed the help. and as i got older and started getting involved in the activities, i realised that they do care. julie has been a foster carer for 11 years and says constant disruption is a problem, particularly for older children. there is a massive shortage of foster carers, and anyone who wants to foster generally wants to foster someone who's going to behave or be less problematic. and that tends to come with smaller

kids, that are more manageable. teenagers, by their title, are more problematic. the report by the children's commissioner for england found in the past three years, around 2500 children moved home five times or more. over 4000 children moved school in the middle of the year, with 400 missing a whole term as a result. some of these children have challenging emotional and behavioural needs — a shortage of foster carers and tight local authority budgets, all part of the problem. there are issues around cost — often with my advice line, i get calls from children who are being moved quickly without being consulted, and they and the people around them understand, think, that that's about cost. now, i know local authorities are stretched in terms of finances, but the children's needs have to be paramount. children in care are amongst the most vulnerable in society. in a statement, the department for education says it's investing close to £4 million to help create

a stable environment in foster homes, and is prioritising school admissions for those in care. elaine dunkley, bbc news spain's prime minister, mariano rajoy, has just been forced out of office after losing a parliamentary vote of confidence. the opposition socialist party, which has no parliamentary majority, will now form a new government. gavin lee is in madrid. gavin — an extraordinary few hours in spanish politics, and mr rajoy, always thought of as the great survivor, has finally gone? it isa it is a political first in modern spanish history of a successful motion of no confidence in the prime minister and mariano rajoy is gone, the government is gone and in comes the government is gone and in comes the new prime minister, 46—year—old pedro sanchez, the socialist leader who brought about the downfall of mariano rajoy with this motion in the first place. and i think the

noose tightened around the neck of the prime minister last week because it was the commendation of a long run corruption scandal which involved the jailing of more than a dozen ex—members of the governing party, doing back to the ‘90s, in which they took more than 1 million euros in exchange for handing out garment contracts. the judge euros in exchange for handing out garment contracts. thejudge in euros in exchange for handing out garment contracts. the judge in the court case said the party was implicit in widespread corruption and also said that mariano rajoy‘s testimony was questionable. fast forward to today, 180 mps have voted against the prime minister and he has gone. the new prime minister, pedro sanchez, in a speech said he would try to stabilise spain. but they are calling it a frankenstein movement because it has parties like the nationalists of catalonia and the nationalists of catalonia and the basque country, and we are yet to understand what they want in exchange for supporting the new minister. political movements which could turn into a monster, is how mariano rajoy put it. so, it is the first day of the new government in

unprecedented times for spain. our top story this lunchtime. the european union is announcing this lunchtime how it will retaliate after president trump slapped big tariffs on imports of steeland aluminum. and coming up — after the disappointment of the first test, england's cricketers make a strong start in the second. coming up on bbc news, former champion tyson fury tells bbc sport he's ready to beat allcomers in the heavyweight division ahead of his long—awaited return next weekend after more than two years out of the ring. there are commemorations this sunday to remember those who lost their lives in the terror attack on london bridge, one year ago. eight people were killed, and dozens more injured, when three men drove a van into pedestrians on the bridge, before getting out of the vehicle and then stabbing people enjoying a summer night out in borough market.

my colleague jane hill is there for us now — jane. thank you. the people who died that night here at borough market and on london bridge were from all over the world. from australia and canada, from france and spain, as well as from france and spain, as well as from here in london. i've been talking to one young woman who narrowly avoided being struck by the van that night on london bridge. she was crushing the bridge on the way to meet friends for a night out. instead, the van ploughed into the couple who were walking right behind her. she is actually a colleague of hours, she is a bbc producer called hollyjones and she has been telling me what she remembers about that warm saturday evening. i was just walking by myself and i was looking at my phone, and i was alerted to what sounded like an engine really over—revving. so i looked up and that was the first time i saw this van,

a white van, and it was heading south and it kind of came onto the bridge and it completely went straight into a group of people. and i know that one of the people, well, one of the persons went into the river. and it was like skittles going off. i've never felt fear like it. it was kind of like when you hear the phrase that your life flashes before your eyes, i can understand that now, what that means. i was frozen to the spot, and i remember seeing it coming directly towards me and the couple that were behind me, and something in the back of my mind just said "get out of the way". and i couldn't tell you how it happened. i remember looking directly in the eyes of the van driver, and i managed to get out of the way but unfortunately, the van then hit the couple that were behind me also. and i just remember, i got up and people were screaming. there were bodies all over the road.

it was absolute chaos. has london changed at all for you? do you feel that it got back to normal quite swiftly? ifeel like london has definitely bounced back from this. and notjust london, but the whole of the uk, like with the manchester attacks. the response of the people who have been out there in support has just been overwhelmingly astounding, really. and on the day of the first anniversary, what will you do? i will actually be with friends, surrounded by close friends. i'm in touch with some of the people that were injured that night. so no doubt i will be in touch with them throughout the day. we've actually been messaging. i'm meeting some of them this week, which will be incredible. 0n the night itself, i was comforting a french lady. all i knew was that her name was christine. i didn't know anything up more about her. more about her.

i waited until she went into the ambulance and that was the last i heard of her. a few weeks after the incident, i was approached on twitter by christine's sister, and she said, "she wants to be in touch with you, she wants to contact you." since then, we've messaged every day, pretty much, or at least a few times a week and we've got a really good friendship now. will you two be speaking on sunday? yes, we will. we've got plans to see each other, so yes, we will definitely be speaking. hollyjones. and there will be commemorations here as well. let's talk to one stallholder here at the bustling borough market, sam wallace ru ns bustling borough market, sam wallace runs her own honey stall and your stall looks out over the street where the attackers were running into bars — what do you remember of the night? i wasn't actually hear that night, usually i am, i was at home when i find out but as soon as i saw it unfold on twitter, as it

happens, the sinking feeling came, like when you recognise that is your home from home, potentially your people that are under threat and hurt, you just don't know at that stage. so, the feeling was sick, panic and then anger that i wasn't there basically. so it was a very strange night. and borough market was won for two weeks after that. yes. and now, we approach the first anniversary. yes. what are your reflections on how people have come together and how the market has bounced back and people's resilience? it was obviously very difficult especially the first two weeks when everything was fresh for everybody, especially those who were really affected. but since then there has been a worry amongst traders that people might be turned off, frightened, about coming to borough market but i have not seen that. i have seen a real resolute support, a stubbornness to keep doing what people always do here, which is to eat food, shop for great

projects and enjoy their time with their friends, projects and enjoy their time with theirfriends, which is what projects and enjoy their time with their friends, which is what you should be doing at a food market. sam wallace, thank you very much indeed. and there is a special service from southwark cathedral on the weekend and we will have all of the weekend and we will have all of the commemorations throughout the day on bbc news. two police officers are being treated in hospital after being stabbed in greenock. a man has been detained. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon is at the scene. what can you tell us? well, police we re what can you tell us? well, police were called to a house in this quiet residential area of greenockjust before nine club this morning. it is understood that one officer, a male officer, was stabbed in the neck. it is thought his injuries are very serious. a female officer was stabbed in the arm. both of those officers' families have been informed and both of them are being treated at inverclyde royal hospital which is less than a mile away from here. the man who was detained in

relation to this is also being treated at the same hospital. people who live in this area say it is very quiet, there's usually no trouble here. another eyewitness said he saw two officers running past his house and he heard police shouting stop. he says the car you can see just a couple of hundred metres down the road has been damaged. it is understood the man detained in relation to this incident may have been hit right at least one police vehicle during the course of what happened this morning. the north korean leader, kim jong—un, has said he wants denuclearisation of the korean peninsula to be carried out in a phased manner. it again highlights differences with the white house, which has called for rapid and concrete disarmament. 0ur correspondent howell griffith reports now from the demilitarized zone between north and south korea. searching for any sign of progress. while the world waits to learn if kim jong—un will meet president trump on the southern side of the korean demilitarised zone,

they're optimistic, north and south are still officially at war. many here feel the summit could help secure peace. translation: getting rid of nuclear weapons will only bring positive results and i hope the summit will help improve things between the north and south. translation: the summit will happen. there won't be results straight away but it will bring opportunities to open up our relationship. while much of the world seems fixated by the prospect of a singapore summit, over the border in north korea, as much as we can tell, there is very little discussion about donald trump. rather, the headlines there are all about russia and an invitation to kimjong—un to travel to moscow to meet president putin. the state newspaper is filled with details of the special relationship with russia, and yesterday's meeting between its foreign minister and kim jong—un. during their talks, the north korean leader spoke of denuclearisation happening stage by stage.

it doesn't sound much like the complete, irreversible process the us demands. the north korean general who's been negotiating in new york will today hand—deliver a letter to the white house. it will be another diplomatic coup for a regime which was just a few months ago an international outcast. what that letter says could have an impact on people on both sides of this border. or it mayjust perpetuate the global guessing game. hywel griffiths, bbc news, on the north—south korean border. england's cricketers have taken three early wickets on the first day of the second test against pakistan at headingley. at lunch, the tourists were 68—4 in theirfirst innings. pakistan lead the two—match series 1—0. patrick gearey was watching at headingley. the weather, the month and the

country changed, but for england, the results and the words keep echoing. england succumbed to a miserable nine wicket defeat by pakistan. you're looking at fundamental flaws in a test match side. england have just fundamental flaws in a test match side. england havejust made fundamental flaws in a test match side. england have just made the numbers. england lost the toss. that is the way their week is gone, but perhaps fielding was no bad thing when stuart broad had in or hack lbw with his second ball. too good to be true. the review was a reprieve. four balls later, joe root grabbed inzamam or hack. broad's play had been questioned by some, but as azhar ali was about to find out, opinions are always been revised in this game. pakistan know the value of patients. it helped them win the first test of this series and it helped them beyond their initial wobble. they were beginning to look co mforta ble wobble. they were beginning to look comfortable when chris woakes, now returned from the razzmatazz of the

indian premier league, disrupted things. shafiq was unsettled. this city seemed to be a play and miss, but hindsight showed he touched it and would have been out. perhaps england couldn't believe their luck. never mind, there was no doubt shafiq had hit this. and for now, they have an sod—all the words with wickets. —— they have transferred all the words with wickets. patrick gea rey all the words with wickets. patrick gearey reporting. a former second world war nurse is planning to retire from selling poppies 97 years after she first began. rosemary powell, who's 103 and from london, is believed to be the longest serving and oldest poppy seller in britain, as jessica parker reports. for nearly a century, it's been the symbol of remembrance. the poppy appeal began in 1921. that same year, a young rosemary powell sold her first year, a young rosemary powell sold herfirst poppy on year, a young rosemary powell sold her first poppy on richmond year, a young rosemary powell sold herfirst poppy on richmond bridge.

they ran out so quickly that her mother had to make more using red crepe paper. rosemary recalls, ever since the age of six, i have been selling poppies and i remember it all so well. collecting has kept me going all these years. it certainly has. 97 years later, rosemary, now aged 103, is set to retire.|j couldn't aged 103, is set to retire.” couldn't even begin to estimate how much she has raised. more importantly, it's that devotion of our volunteers, the way they go out at all times of year in all weather to support us. a second world war nurse, rosemary is no stranger to the cost of conflict. in world war i. the cost of conflict. in world war i, herfather the cost of conflict. in world war i, her father charles astonjames, was wounded. she would later lose her first fiancee and younger brother. she says she sells copies in memory of those men who were killed for their sacrifice. and while few people will manage to get quite so much time to the cause as rosemary, it is hoped that her story will serve to inspire others. back now to our top story.

there are fears of a trade war as the eu prepares to retaliate against president trump's tariffs on its steel and aluminium exports. let's return to our correspondent, adam fleming, in brussels. we have just had a press conference with the eu trade commissioner who is in charge of the eu's trade policy. she accused the us of engaging in pure protectionism and she confirmed what we expected, which is that the eu will lodge an official complaint at the world trade organisation today. and the eu ta riffs trade organisation today. and the eu tariffs on american imports of things like motorbikes, jeans, orangejuice, could things like motorbikes, jeans, orange juice, could start coming into force as soon as the 20th of june, this month. interestingly, she also said that the eu is going to launch legal action against china over the fact that the chinese government forces western companies to hand over their intellectual property if they want to do business in china. they are doing that firstly to prove that the existing

world trade rules work. you don't need to rip up the rule book, you can use the rules that exist. secondly, they are sending a signal to president trump himself, because thatis to president trump himself, because that is any hue he cares about as well. adam fleming in brussels, many thanks. time for a look at the weather... here is phil avery. some atrocious conditions in some parts of the country? indeed, so i thought i would throw some calm into the mix. the storm clouds have bothered. there has been another humid start to the day. we are still in the same sort of circulation with a big area of low pressure dominating our and throwing the heat and moisture
