wonderful. and hopefully an exhibition, we've had interest in that as well. but having offers arriving daily now, so so we're just waiting to see which one is right when we've had time to think about it and gather them all together. you are meeting a new father here, aren't you? yes, but one i always suspected might be there. the man in the bowler hat, he had a secret life. he did, yes, i'm very glad to say. workmen pondering a piece of modern art. the collector for the pdsa. and this rather rakish self—portrait, with a cravat, the john turner before family and responsibilities. this is a suitcase with more than a few surprises. david sillito, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. nothing changing very quickly with the weather this week. there will be

further seems like this, spells of sunshine, this sent in from a weather watcher in central scotland. flies in the ointment with showers and thunderstorms across the near co nsta nt and thunderstorms across the near constant that will try to drift in oui’ constant that will try to drift in our direction. and high—pressure sitting up to the north—west, we will have a north or north—easterly wind that will try to feed in large areas of cloud particularly across eastern and central parts of the british isles. this afternoon, cloudy skies for many eastern areas, the best of the sunshine is to the west. we will see a scattering of hit and miss heavy showers, but across southern scotland and northern ireland, there is a met office warning in force for these downpours. sunshine across parts of wales, south—west england and the channel islands and showers spinning up channel islands and showers spinning up from the near continent. not eve ryo ne up from the near continent. not everyone will catch them, but expect some heavy rain for a time if you do. eastern areas keeping hold of the cloud. 14 in newcastle and the best of the sunshine further west getting temperatures up to 20 or 21.

the cloud the east will roll back westwards this evening. it could go misty and murky in places particularly close to the east coast. temperatures under the blanket of cloud will not drop far, maybe 8 degrees in newcastle and 14th in cardiff and plymouth. i'll start to tomorrow but again cloudy with the odd spot of drizzle from the thickest cloud. the cloud should tend to break up from the north tomorrow with spells of sunshine developing. whereas today, some western parts of the brightest areas, tomorrow they will hold onto more cloud for longer. temperatures at 14-20, more cloud for longer. temperatures at 14—20, generally feeling cool in that light north—easterly breeze. wednesday, a bit more cloud coming in from the north sea towards eastern areas and more sunshine further west. temperatures at this stage up to 22 or maybe 23 degrees. remember those showers and

thunderstorms towards the south? they will try to move in our direction as we had to thursday. an increasing risk across southern areas that we will see some heavy and thundery downpours at times. not all the time, still dry weather and spells of sunshine. the further north we go, the better chance of staying dry with pleasant sunshine and temperatures in the 20s. things changing slowly this week. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime... the inquiry into the grenfell tower fire is told advice to residents to "stay put" had "effectively failed" within half an hour of the blaze starting. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. holders germany have announced their world cup squad with one notable absentee — manchester city's leroy sane. he didn't make the 23—man squad

for the tournament in russia, which starts next week. sane had a superb season, helping city to the premier league title with ten goals and 15 assists and was rewarded with the pfa young player of the season award. jochim loew has picked captain manuel neuer, who's only played once since mid—september. sane's manchester city team—mate vincent kompany has been given two weeks to prove his fitness as he attempts to recover from a groin injury. belgium boss roberto martinez said his captain's leadership was crucial, but he's put lauren simon on standby. crystal palace striker christian benteke has missed out. belgium are in england's group — they meet on 28thjune. mohamed salah has been named in egypt's world cup squad, but he won't be meeting up with his team—mates until saturday as he continues his recovery from a shoulder injury. he was forced off during liverpool's champions league final

defeatjust over a week ago. egypt's opening game is against uruguay on isthjune. england women's captain steph houghton needs knee surgery and will miss friday's world cup qualifier with russia. arsenal defender leah williamson has been drafted into phil neville's squad. the lionesses are top of their qualifying group for france 2019, two points clear of wales with three games to play. comments made about serena williams by maria sharapova in her autobiography provide a fascinating subplot to today's fourth round meeting between the pair at the french open. sharapova writes williams cried after she beat her in the wimbledon final of 2004, but she's failed to beat her in their i8 meetings since. williams was not impress by sharapova's book. the book was 100% hearsay, at least the quotes and words i read. it is disappointing.

iam human. for me, it is totally normal. i think what happens there should stay there, and not necessarily be talked about in a not so positive way in a book. and you can listen to live commentary of that match on radio 5live sports extra, and via the bbc sport website from around 3 o'clock. world number one simona halep is already through to the quarterfinals. she made very short work of elise mertens, dropping only three games along the way. they were on court for less than an hour. halep has twice been a finalist at roland garros but she's still looking for her first grand slam title. she takes on either angelique kerber or caroline garcia next. the second seed, caroline wozniacki, has been knocked out. the australian open champion was beaten by the young russian daria kasatkina,

who's a formerjunior champion at roland garros. their match ran on from last night before kasatkina quickly wrapped it up in straight sets. england bowler chris woakes has been ruled out of sunday's one—day international against scotland. he took four wickets in the test win over pakistan, but he also picked up a thigh strain and joins ben stokes on the injury list. surrey‘s tom curran comes in. uk sport have today launched a national consultation to explore whether great britain should change the way it funds elite sport. the body invests £100 million of national lottery and government money each year, essentially rewarding sports that bring the most medals with the most funding, but over the last two years there has been criticism of its approach and a series of controversies over funding decisions and athlete welfare. uk sport's ouimet has to be to

create success through olympic and paralympic medals and we have had great success. that has been fantastic. it is now time to pause and think is this the way it needs to be, is this what everyone wants? it is working, but almost there is a responsibility to go, is that where the journey should take us? that is the journey should take us? that is the question for the public. that is the question for the public. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's at bbc.co.uk/sport. downing street says the disruption to rail passengers is "totally unacceptable" and the government has tremendous sympathy with those who have been affected. emergency measures to try to end weeks of delays and cancellations are being implemented in the north—west and south—east of england today. northern and govia thameslink passengers have suffered two weeks of disruption after timetable changes. later today, the transport secretary, chris grayling,

is expected to answer questions in the commons about the ongoing problems. andy burnham, the mayor of greater manchester, says passengers hit by the disruption should be offered substantial compensation. they should not be allowed to inflect their miserable, substandard services on the public of the north on an ongoing basis. if you look at this emergency timetable, particularly with the withdrawal of services from the lake tim peake tourist season, they are doing real damage to the northern economy. we we re damage to the northern economy. we were promised in northern powerhouse, and this isn't dead. finally, the stated that downing street has been getting involved. finally, it would seem that the government has woken up to the skill of this problem. to the skill of this problem. the rail delivery group, the body representing the rail companies, is starting a public consultation on reforming the rail ticketing system. robert nisbet, their regional director, says the changes have only been made to make way

for long—term improvements. this will take time to bed down, for these timetables. we are just asking for people to bear with us because the end game is to deliver a better service. this is part of a long—term plan with the public and private sectors working together to improve and change the railways. that includes thousands of extra services every working week. in order to do that, we need to change the timetables to improve and increase the capacity. the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the security services must change their approach to fighting terrorism and learn the lessons of last year's attacks in london and manchester, in which 36 people died. in a speech in london, he said they were currently involved in more than 500 investigations involving 3000 potential suspects. mrjavid explained that as threats evolve, uk counter—terror policy should do so too. the way that terrorists attacks and

i planned and conducted has changed. people are increasingly being radicalised by their computers and smartphones. they are using everyday objects such as knives and cars as weapons. and the length of time between radicalisation and the attackers getting shorter. the threats are evolving. we must evolve, too. in our revised counterterrorism strategy i am outlining today hi everyone can help. contest incorporates lessons learned from the attacks in 2017 and responses to them. it has been formed by the latest research on secret intelligence. ultimately, our approach is about ensuring that there are no safe spaces for terrorists, no safe spaces internationally in which terrorist ideology can develop and from where complex attacks can be launched.

snow safe spaces in the uk for terrorists to spread their vile views over them to plan and carry out attacks. and no safe spaces online for terrorist propaganda and technical expertise to be shared and for people to be radicalised injust a matter of weeks. just days before the summit between kim jong—un and donald trump, reports have emerged that the top three military officials in north korea have been removed from their posts in recent months. officials in seoul and the united states say the defence chief, the chief of general staff and the director of the army's political bureau have all been replaced by younger officers. david campanale has more. the armed forces of north korea's communist state are meant to march tightly in step with the party. with over a million men and women in uniform, the korean people's army is one of the biggest military formations in the world. it's immensely influential in the north and a centre of power in its own right. for this reason, leader kimjong—un is often seen flanked by generals on one side and civilians on the other,

and why he asserts his control. purges, reshuffles and the disappearance of senior generals and politicians are a way discipline is kept tight and the military in order. all of the newly—promoted officials are younger than their predecessors. kim su—gil is the one certain change, made head of the military‘s powerful general political bureau. this is him with the leader on a visit to a coastal tourist region. according to the south unification ministry, this is the new chief of the north's general staff, ri yong—gil, who was promoted from the deputy position. and this man, hyon yong—chol, is believed to be the new defence minister. also elevated from understudy as first vice minister to take premier position. with disarmament talks approaching with president trump, these leadership changes could be aimed at preventing objections in the military to any tampering with the north's nuclear capability.

north koreans are taught that america is the imperialist enemy, but state broadcasts have recently toned down that rhetoric and mentioned both the talks with the us and the path towards denuclearisation of their korean peninsula. if you live in england, do you feel proud to be english? the answer to that will likely depend on your age. a survey of more than 20,000 english people, conducted by yougov and commissioned by the bbc, suggests that almost three—quarters of those aged over 65 said they are proud to call themselves english. that's in stark contrast to younger people, with less than half of 18 to 2a—year—olds surveyed saying they are proud to be english. our home editor, mark easton, has been travelling the country to try to find out why. exploring the canals and backwaters of england's identities brings one to nottinghamshire, as english a county as you'll find. # st george in my heart,

keep me english...# there's something defiant about the annual st george's day parade, here. why, why, why are people ashamed to be english? ijust don't understand it, at all. you're not ashamed. i'm certainly not! why do we get called racist, when everybody else celebrates st andrew's day, st patrick's day? englishness is a variable quality. while almost three—quarters of the over—65s say they are proud to call themselves english, among the young, it's less than half. it's felt strongly among brexit supporters, much less so for those who voted to remain in the eu. navigate 90 miles south—east, to cambridgeshire, and people's englishness is much more diluted. 10% of young people and 10% of graduates say they are embarrassed to call themselves english, and in this city, there's plenty of both.

when patriotism or nationalism becomes a code for prejudice, i think that's what becomes problematic. richard the lionheart is a... he's a very poor icon, and a very poor representation of what englishness is and could be be taken to be. it's a supremacist view. it's a violent look at the past. the final leg of our journey along the navigable arteries of england, and we emerge into the rarefied atmosphere of planet london. in some parts of the capital, like here in islington, only half of people say they feel strongly english. a similar proportion say they feel strongly european, and a third of people here have a strong link with a country outside the uk. london is a truly international city, where identities can be discarded, absorbed into lifestyle. would you ever call yourself english? see, this is the debate that i've had with some of my friends.

i call myself british, british—indian, and they're like, "but you're english, because you live in england, you were born here." and i'm like, "i don't know whether i'd call myself english." i'd call myself british—indian, i think. being english, unlike being british, is seen as an exclusive identity, an honour bestowed only upon those eligible. that is its weakness and its strength. mark easton, bbc news, england. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour, but first the headlines on bbc news: the grenfell tower inquiry has been told there's evidence that the organisations involved in refurbishing the building did not understand how the new cladding system would behave in a fire. the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the security services must change their approach to fighting terrorism and learn the lessons of last year's attacks in london and manchester. three days of mourning have been declared in guatemala, where at least 25 people have been killed by an erupting volcano. i'm ben bland.

in the business news. mothercare could have to backtrack on a proposal to close more than a third of its stores in the uk. it thought last week that it had got enough votes from its creditors to go ahead. but after reviewing the minutes, it found the proposal relating to the children's world part of the business — which has 21 mothercare stores — did not actually get the 75% of votes needed to proceed. mothercare is considering what to do next. rail passengers are still facing cancellations despite changes to deal with major disruption caused by new timetables introduced last month. northern rail has introduced a temporary timetable that removes 165 train services a day until the end ofjuly. on monday, more than 100 trains were still cancelled or severely delayed affecting passengers in manchester, lancashire and the lake district. profits for the world's biggest airlines will be hit by rising fuel

and labour costs this year, according to the industry's trade body. the international air transport association, or iata for short, has cut its profit forecast for 2018 by 12% to £25 billion. iata also said rising interest rates and trade tensions could hit profits. there's been a sharp drop in the number of people under the age of 30 who are members of a trade union. since 2001 the figure has fallen from just over one in five to just over one in six. this is according to figures from the trade union congress, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. the figures suggest that in the private sector, an even smaller percentage of those under 30 are members of a union. frances o'grady, the general secretary of the tuc, admits the union movement had "a problem" in reaching young people. frances o'grady from the tucjoins us now. good to see you. if the movement has

a problem reaching young people, what is it doing wrong?|j a problem reaching young people, what is it doing wrong? i think the world of work has changed and we have got to change with it. we are seeing young people increasingly concentrated into low—paid ghettos, industries that are notoriously low paid like hospitality, shops, the ca re paid like hospitality, shops, the care industry. but on top of that, they are much more likely to be on insecure contracts than other workers, so 0—hours contracts agency contracts. for a lot of young people this is their mainstream experience. we know that we have got the change. the economy has gone digital so we need to go digital, too. we also need to go digital, too. we also need to go digital, too. we also need to listen to young people and hear what it is they want to change about their working lives to make a better and how we come in and help. the image we have here on the screen

is of people sitting in an office, but the reality for a lot of people under 30 that doesn't represent how they work. they are in the gig economy. could the union movement not perhaps, with that movable scale of membership fees, so it reflects the fact that some months people's wages will be higher, some months slower. they can commit to a payment if they don't know what they're making in advance. that is exactly what we are testing out with this new app, work smart. we hope it will bea new app, work smart. we hope it will be a bridge into trade unionism. we are already organising delivery drivers. we saw the strikes at tgi friday's, the first time in this country that restaurant workers have taken action against unfair tips. and mcdonald's, whether young workers have got themselves organised for a living wage and a

union voice at work and a ban on the zero hours, then to encourage people to ta ke zero hours, then to encourage people to take advantage of young workers. there is no one silver bullet. we have to try different ways. what we are have to try different ways. what we a re clear have to try different ways. what we are clear about is we have to do something big, we can't go on with just one in ten young workers in the private sector belonging to unions. we need to do something big and we think this new app will help us to making that connected with young workers. in the end, if we don't ban together in trade unions and workers will always be worse off. that said, looking the bigger picture, overall membership of trade unions is not had something like 6.9 million. in the 1970s had something like 6.9 million. in the 19705 it had something like 6.9 million. in the 1970s it was up 13 million. doesn't that suggest that in the eyes of many people unions are much less relevant eyes of many people unions are much less releva nt tha n eyes of many people unions are much less relevant than they once were?” think it is more a case of high that

world of work is changed. we have had a hostile framework of law with the government introducing its anti—trade union act. we have also seen the demise of those big factories, the car factories, chemicals, were lots of workers were concentrated into one place. now we have many more smaller workplaces and many more people on different contracts. trade unionism has to change and embrace the fact that that change has happened in the labour market. our structure our culture has got to change, too. that is what we are trying to do to mark 150th birthday, to look to the future. good to talk to you, thanks very much indeed. british shares rose as a flurry of deals lifted investors' mood and helped brush aside fears about a possible full—blown trade war between the us and some of its closest partners. uk—based packaging group ds smith led the ftse higher after it offered to buy spanish rival europac

to strengthen its business in western europe and its supply chain. its customers include amazon, asos and next. ds smith supplies them with packaging, which given the growth of online shopping, has been a booming industry in recent years. financial shares added the most points to the ftse as news that italy's biggest bank, unicredit was exploring a merger with france's societe generale boosted the sector. that's all the business news. the un estimate that globally we throw away one trillion dollars worth of food every year. a lot of that waste comes from large catering operations, the kind you find in hotels, or cruise ships. but now a smart bin is trying to change that, as dougal shaw reports. this commercial kitchen in central london prepares 1,500 meals a day. it provides catering for a museum and a conference centre. kitchens like these typically throw away 20% of ingredients they buy. some are thrown away as trimmings,

even though they are edible, and sometimes food ends up in the bins simply because it is not needed after all. to stop this happening, this kitchen has been using a new piece of technology which can simply be connected to a normal bin on scales. this is what is known as a smart bin. kitchen staff use it like a supermarket self—checkout. the idea is to keep an accurate digital record of the food being thrown out. this helps the head chef make more informed choices. it is a shock in the tonnage that's actually saved by using this. by keeping tabs on exactly what kind of food is being thrown out, the chef can adjust his orders of ingredients, but also improvise whole new menus based on what was previously being thrown away. in an operation where you make a significant amount of your food in advance, you can typically cut food waste in half. do people actually have time, on top of everything else, to catalogue this stuff as they're putting it into the bin? they do.

to start with, it's taking a little while to get used to the bin system. it's just about familiarising yourself with where the buttons are. the university of cambridge says it needs the help of parents and schools if it is to improve the diversity of potential students. it comes as new figures showed that some of its colleges had admitted very few or no black applicants over a five year period. the details, released under the freedom of information act, revealed six of 29 colleges accepted fewer than 10 black british students or those with mixed african—caribbean backgrounds. time for a look at the weather. let'sjoin ben rich for the forecast. good afternoon. the weather is changing slowly this week. there will be more blue skies and sunshine, but it is a bit more

complicated than that, as there will be cloudy conditions and showers at times. high-pressure broadly in charge, but showers and thunderstorms across the near continent will be trying to force their way in. at the same time, these big areas of cloud will try to move in from the north sea. central and eastern areas are seeing generally cloudy conditions through the afternoon. in the south and south—west there is quite a lot of sunshine. there is a risk of thunderstorms in south—west scotland and northern ireland, weather it is and northern ireland, weather it is a met office weather warning for these potentially very heavy downpours. also, heavy downpours in wales, the south—west and the channel islands. these showers are rolling up from the near continent. 24 rolling up from the near continent. 2a degrees in plymouth. always cooler where we keep the cloud further east. going into this

evening and showers in storms in the west will move away, then this cloud will roll back in. many areas will turn cloudy through the night, misty and murky places, as well. underneath the blanket of cloud it is not going to be a cold night with minimum temperatures between eight and 11 degrees. on tuesday, i cloudy start. the cloud will move its way back, so we will see more in the way of sunshine. that will help the cloud to break up, this dryer air. not as warm in the south—west tomorrow. where you get the sunshine, the 21 degrees, but always cooler on the north sea coasts. on wednesday, more cloud will pull its way back in two eastern areas. temperatures will get up to potentially 2a degrees in the south—east, still a coolerfail potentially 2a degrees in the south—east, still a cooler fail on the north sea coast. these storms

trying to move up from the near continent, there is a chance they will make more progress by the end of the week. the further south you are there is the potential we could see showery rain at times by the end of the week. further north that will stay dry. there will be good spells of sunshine. away from the north sea coast temperatures a chilly not doing too badly. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 2. experts tell the grenfell tower inquiry that advice to "stay put" had effectively failed within around half an hour of the blaze starting. the fundamental question lying at the heart of our work is how, in london, in 2017, a domestic fire developed so quickly and so catastrophically. and the inquiry hears the first 999 call from the burning tower block. the fire brigade are on their way,

are you outside? yes, i'm outside. the fire engines are on their way, family floors have you got? —— how many. i'm
