(pres2) the historic building was undergoing a multi—million pound restoration project after a similar blaze four years ago . our correspondent alexandra mackenzie reports from the scene. the smoke and flames could be seen for miles around as they lit up the night sky. glasgow's school of art mackintosh building was engulfed in flames for the second time in four years.

a multimillion—pound restoration project was due to be completed next year. pretty much everyone is just in shock because, i mean, its iconic, isn't it? there's no salvaging it. it's heartbreaking. the scottish fire and rescue service say no casualties have been reported but nearby buildings were evacuated. more than 60 firefighters have been tackling this major blaze for several hours and it now looks as if the flames have spread to a second building. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, said, "my first thoughts are the safety of people "but my heart breaks for the city's beloved glasgow school of art." alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. desperate scenes. we will take you

back there through the morning. at one of the fire officers has been dealing with the blaze. let's just hear what he's got to say. indeed, the public and the community in glasgow, always behind us when it counts. in terms of the buildings that are affected. the school of art and then to the south side of it, and then to the south side of it, and adjoining set of buildings. there is a cinema, the roof is extensively damaged. other shops and businesses, there is the block is contained within the block. i don't have the specifics. as far as the macintosh building goes out the school of art, is the fire extinguished? are you battling small

pockets of fire? we would regard that has surrounded. we will continue to dampen that down. you will appreciate, as the building has burned, things fall in. it will take some time. to ensure the fire is fully out. those reasons, we will have a presence on scene. we will not take unnecessary risks. we intend to keep it that way. one of the fire officers there updating the press at the moment on what is happening at that school of art. we will keep you up—to—date and safety is the main priority now. a huge job. they can then begin to think about how you renovate it. you say it's not just about how you renovate it. you say it's notjust the school of about how you renovate it. you say it's not just the school of art about how you renovate it. you say it's notjust the school of art but a cinema, some other shops that have been affected. that whole block, as he talked of it. we'll get more from alexandra mckenzie to hear what else has been said. advice on preventing dementia will be added to the nhs

health check for the first time, after a successful pilot project. the test, offered for free to people in england aged between a0 and 7a focuses on reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease. earlier on breakfast jamie waterall from public health england said evidence now shows dementia can be preventable and isn't just down to ageing. what we are trying to say is what is good to the heart is good to the brains are taking action —— action on smoking, physical activity, you are not only that editing your heart but benefiting the brain and reducing the risk for dementia in future life. theresa may says she is "disappointed" an attempt to make upskirting a criminal offence in england and wales did not progress through parliament after one of her own mps blocked it. conservatives have criticised sir christopher chope for objecting to the private member's bill. if passed, the new law would have seen offenders who secretly take photos up victim's clothes sentenced to up to two years injail.

i was shocked, i was angry and i was disappointed and, for the record, i shouted "shame" very loudly after the member objected because it seems to me this is a case where the law has not kept up to date with what's happening in the modern world so parliament needs to be flexible, and parliament needs to react. let's talk to our political correspondent jonathan blake jonathan, the government is hoping they can resurrect this bill? and a lot of people may have been surprised that one mp can block this byjust shouting "object." this was a plan which has wide support in parliament, from mps on all sides. it had the backing of the government as well but it was stopped in its tracks by one man and one word. sir christopher chope shouting object as the bill was being read out in the house of

commons and because this was a private members bill and that is a plan for a new law that can be put forward by any and —— any mp. most of them don't amount to anything, thatis of them don't amount to anything, that is all that is needed under the rules of parliamentary procedure to be thrown out and the criticism as you heard there of what he did started straightaway. lots of mps shouting shame. the cabinet minister david gauke saying he was disappointed and dawn butler calling it disgusting and nick boles describing his as a politician whose knuckles dragged along the ground. universal condemnation for what he did. he hasn't spoken in public. he wasn't objecting necessarily to the substance of the bill. he didn't really know what up skating was. he was objecting to a lack of

parliamentary scrutiny of this new criminal offence. he's got form on this. if anything, criminal offence. he's got form on this. ifanything, it's criminal offence. he's got form on this. if anything, it's hardened the government ‘s resolve to legislate. the prime minister said she wanted measures to be introduced soon so he has gotten what he wanted. a mother seeking permission to use cannabis oil to treat her sick son has said he is in a life threatening condition. 12—year—old billy caldwell who has been at the centre of a dispute over the use of cannabis to treat his epilepsy has been admitted to hospital, suffering from seizures. his mother, charlotte, says her son could die unless he receives cannabis oil. she travelled to canada to obtain more of the drug — which is illegal in the uk — but the supply was confiscated when she arrived at heathrow airport on monday. sinn fein could change its approach to abortion to ensure the party's mps in the irish republic support new legislation being introduced there.

the party is currently in favour of repeal and allowing for abortion in a specific set of circumstances. the issue will be debated at its annual conference in belfast. the party leadership have backed the change but members say some members say they should be able to vote according to their conscience. you might remember earlier in the week we told you the story of trevor the peacock who was looking for love. he had been keeping residents in a county durham village awake after being on the loose for more than two weeks. and here's the reason why. when trevor doesn't have a partner, he isa when trevor doesn't have a partner, he is a bit unbearable. so that is what residents had been putting up with, and very frustrated traveller. bonnie dumped him, his p ten mates. but he is set to be match made. he is now set to be introduced

to a new love interest called poppy. bird experts from blyth wildlife trust in northumberland spent more than an hour capturing him from a roof of a house. there was some objection to me saying it was a bit odd that the peacock was named trevor. i have no objection to the name trevor, it's just a bit odd calling him traveller. some would say your skirt was rather peacock like. it is an almost to trevor. good luck, trevor, to your new life with poppy. we can cross live to glasgow to the school of art. and if you able to

give us a sense of what you've been dealing with and the scale of it. because the pictures look appalling. certainly. the fire and emergency service received a call last night and we were quickly inundated with multiple calls to the same scene. ourfirefighters were multiple calls to the same scene. our firefighters were on scene in a matter of minutes. what we found was a fire that had seriously and significantly engulfed a large part of the building. at its height, we have 20 fire appliances here with six height appliances. the fire was well alight, the building was well alight. the conditions were very arduous and it's clear this is a very serious and ongoing incident.

the crew had to work extremely hard to get on top of this fire. what sony people want to know is, if such a famous, beautiful building. sony people want to know, what kind of condition is akin. what state is it in after this latest fire? regrettably, the building has been extensively damaged. i would need to advise people that the damage to this building is exceptionally significant. it's affected all parts of the building. the damage to this building, regrettably, is very extensive. i mentioned the fire which is also a terrible, terrible event. is there any way of saying this is as bad or even worse, some

people are saying, then that was? such an iconic building which has such affection not just such an iconic building which has such affection notjust the people in glasgow but around the world, any damage has a devastating effect. in terms of comparison, it's not helpful but i need to reiterate, this building has extensive damage. it's damaged in every part of the building. people need to be prepared for what you will see in the next few hours. it's notjust the school of art, as i understand. kenny gives a sense of how the whole area has been affected? the building from the

school of art occupies a site on the block within the city. crews are working very hard but it became evident early on the main focus needed to be preventing this fire spreading. we managed to hold the fire off for some time but the fire did spread to an adjacent cinema. crews were in that building early on. the conditions were such that they had to withdraw. the adjacent buildings which comprise a theatre and a number of shops have suffered some damage. that is the main focus of our area right now. we just continue to work to dampen down. the crews continue to work there. we can see the events overnight and clearly you are working there this morning and will be for some time and i know it's early days but have you been

able to establish what caused it? at this stage it is hard to tell. we are still in the operational phase and are currently working with partners trying hard to get the city back to normal, get this fire out and allow us to the final checks to make sure everyone is safe and well. at this stage it is far too early to tell that. peter heath, thank you very much indeed forjoining us, especially coping with that time delay we had between us and you. it is good news that apparently there has been no loss of life, nobody injured, but desperately sad scenes for anybody waking up. it is hard to believe, the second time in four yea rs. for three years, yemen has been locked in a civil war which has claimed the lives of 10,000 people and pushed millions

to the brink of starvation. this week intense fighting between rebels and saudi—backed forces, has centred around the port of hudayah, the main point of entry for international aid. the un security council has warned that a full—blown offensive in the town could be disastrous for the whole nation. let's speak now to rehan salim, who is head of mission for the charity human appeal, which provides aid in areas of conflict. good morning to you. tell us what you know about what is happening near the port of hudayah. hudayah is a strategic point, the main point for incoming aid, food and medicines. what we understand is the saudi led coalition has entered into the sport and they have tried to ta ke the sport and they have tried to take over the local seaport at the airport. so forces, both ground forces and air forces, have started an incursion inside, and there are actually attacks between themselves and the houthi rebels. and the position of yemen itself is

strategic, isn't it, in terms of the political conflict in the area. can you explain that? yes, so in 2015 there was essentially a coup by the houthi rebels. he took over the area north of yemen, which is sanaa, and about 70% of the population. they have long been accused of being proxies for the iranian regime, and so the saudis have taken it as a threat, and they feel this is kind of on their doorstep. saudi and the allies have responded to that with the saudi led coalition and they are trying to make sure this doesn't expand to the rest of yemen. and when we were introducing this discussion we said that 10,000 have been killed, and millions have been pushed to the brink of starvation. what is the prospect now of this latest move in hudayah?” what is the prospect now of this latest move in hudayah? i mean, the issue here is actually you have about 600,000 people in hudayah at the moment. now, because it is such a strategic point, some analysts are

saying that this could actually be one of the worst civil conflicts going forward. it is already considered by the un to be the largest humanitarian crisis in the world in 2017. and the port is a very strategic area, primarily many of the imports of foodstuffs and medicines which come into yemen, which are required, about 80% are imported. so the saudi led coalition is trying to maintain and stop weapons coming in through here, but the problem we find is that aid will also be stopped. and you are looking at about 350,000 metric tons required per month, and this provides the support to almost 450,000, this capability. so it is strategic from a humanitarian and political perspective. is crisis has been going on for several years now, hasn't it? does this feel like a particularly significant moment in the last few years? it does. like

you said, it is already in such a dire situation, 22 million people in need, 8 million on the verge of starvation, and hudayah being the main port of entry for food and medicines, forfuel. if this prolongs we could see it becoming a lot worse. is there an alternative port? is there an alternative access point to get aid to the country? there are multiple ones, in the south. but this is the most prominent, and because its services about 70% of the population, it is considered to be the strategic and most important. so what are you saying to people who are trying to get aid to the area? what is the risk to them and what other processes now in place?|j risk to them and what other processes now in place? i thinki understand the un security council has tried to stop a war from escalating. many aid agencies use this particular port. the only thing we can suggest, of course, is other ports are used but because it has such a strategic place in terms of access to the population, unless

they can ensure humanitarian corridors and ensure humanitarian aid gets to the people where it is needed, it could be a big disaster. we hear so much about the suffering and you hear the numbers of the people affected, but can you put into words how much suffering there is right now? what stories are you hearing? it is very dire. i came back six or seven weeks ago and there were many families complaining that four year they have not had any aid agencies, even standard food parcels. i met an individual, a young boy, and his grandfather and sister contracted cholera and passed away, and it was from an open well. and they are still going to it, because they have no other sources of water. they are in such a dire situation that they are forced to go to the same place. so it is looking quite terrible, but we hope that there is some respite soon. an awful situation to be talking about. here is nick with a look at this morning's weather.

good morning. we will start with one of your weather watcher pictures this morning. not seeing a huge amount of sunshine, in the ones you have been submitting so far, but still a pretty beautiful looking picture from norfolk this morning. a lot of cloud around, but it is dry here. a lot of cloud to come throughout the day and across a large part of the uk to begin with. western areas will start to brighten up western areas will start to brighten up today but before that happens there is some wet weather around this morning, gradually pushing eastwards. then for tomorrow we keep a lot of cloud around. it is looking drier compared with today. here is a look at the big picture. low pressure to the north—west of us feeding me weather fronts through. the heaviest rain is at times for northern england, northern ireland and scotland. there may even be a rumble of thunder. let's take a look at things then. northern ireland, brightening up quickly but further showers following on behind, which could be heavy. outbreaks of rain,

showery in nature, so that means not raining necessarily all the time and different intensities, moving to scotland. not much in the far north and northern isles. could be a rumble of thunder as there could be with rain pushing through from northern england, he brightens up through the west in the afternoon. for wales and england, clearing through the sunshine and showers. south—west england will brighten up with a few showers but we keep a lot of cloud across east anglia and south—east england. until we get to this evening. until then, though, mainly dry. cooler here. the cooler day in the breeze across much of the uk. this evening there will be some showers. eventually they will push away eastwards, and then we are left with mainly dry, clear whetherfor a time during the night, allowing temperatures to give away into single figures, especially in the eastern scotland and north—east england. you will notice the cloud increasing from the west again later, and by the end of the night there could be some patchy rain heading towards parts of wales and south—west england. so this is how

pa rt south—west england. so this is how part two of your weekend is shaping up. expect a good deal of cloud, though there will be some sunny spells in northey scotland and i think at times across eastern parts of england. the cloud in the west, though, you will encounter occasional rain, especially in the hills, that is western england, northern ireland and south—west scotland. not going to amount to too much but making for it to be quite damp ina much but making for it to be quite damp in a few spots. your sunday temperatures fairly similar compared with today. it is quite easy out there tomorrow. some spots in east anglia and south—east england just reaching 20 celsius or above. it gets warmer across southern areas as we go through monday and tuesday. a bit of a north—south split. it will be breezy the further north you are. cloudy, with outbreaks of rain at times, especially in the scotland and northern ireland. mainly dry the england and wales and especially into the south—east. coming quite warm, in some spots in the mid—20s. that is your weekend, and a look into next week. if you are planning to go to a school fete today, you are not alone. over the next few weeks, millions of pounds will be raised from the sale of tombola tickets,

bric—a—brac, and home—baked cakes. but one school in kent has caused a stir by taking a more 21st—century approach to fundraising. it has published an online wish list asking parents to donate basic items like stationery and even toilet paper. in a moment we will speak to a head teacher and a mother. first, let's hear what some other parents think about helping schools out. i don't mind giving muggy to schools. no, definitely not. it is going to the kids, and stuff, and education. the more you give to a school, the less the government will get to a school. so you won't get much funding for the school, they willjust much funding for the school, they will just constantly rely much funding for the school, they willjust constantly rely on the parents. no, i don't think it is fair, based on the amount of taxes that we have to take as parents. they always ask for donations

anyway, so every other week they are coming home and asking us to donate the things, but if it helps their education, definitely. it should be funded through the local authorities. i thought they would have funded it as well.|j authorities. i thought they would have funded it as well. i suppose it depends on the actual income of the parent, you know? we struggle sometimes, but other parents will be able to donate more, i suppose. sometimes, but other parents will be able to donate more, i supposelj have no problem with it whatsoever, in giving money away, if it is for a good cause. absolutely. let's talk about this in more detail with anna macgowan, who is a parent and blogger, and steve marsland, who is a head teacher. good morning to both of you. we have a lwa ys good morning to both of you. we have always had fundraising for schools, haven't we? we have always had fetes and fares and christmas bazaars, but asking to pay for toilet rolls on an internet wish list seems to be taking this to a whole new level. internet wish list seems to be taking this to a whole new levellj think that is mental. if we are really at the stage where we are having to buy loo roll for our kids,

then something has gone potty there, hasn't it, steve? when i was a kid we raise money for a swimming pool for our school, which would seem extremely extravagant now. what sort of school did you go to? it seems really posh, but it was just back in the day. whereas now, last night our pta at our school organised a parent disco, so all the parent selflessly went out and bought a lot of alcohol in order to support our school in certain ways. but the thought that that money was actually going to basic things, that should be the extras, in richmond, that we have a lwa ys extras, in richmond, that we have always done. the idea that we would be buying pencils and toilet paper... what is happening in terms of the funding chain? where is it being broken —— enrichment. of the funding chain? where is it being broken -- enrichment. there is not enough. if schools are having to ask for donations for the basics, to

educate their children, there is something broken in the system. i am not here to criticise my colleagues, wherever they come from, and from whatever communities they are serving. but they know best in their own communities what. .. serving. but they know best in their own communities what... but as a head teacher, you are seeing how the money is being filtered down to schools. yes. so what other priorities that local authorities say, we to provide x, but if something is going to go, why is going to go. the funding which comes to schools is decided by the governors where it should be spent. now, iam having governors where it should be spent. now, i am having to find money that i have never had to find before, the services that have now gone. speech therapy, for instance. we have to buy in our own speech therapist, where it used to be provided. we are having to get people in to help children's mental health. so all these things impact the same amount of money that we are being given, because they are right, there is more money in the system, but there

are more challenges, and we are being asked to spend our money on very diverse things that we have never been asked to spend it on before. because, i mean, that's what the government says, that schools have more money than they have ever had in the past. but you are saying not just diverse but had in the past. but you are saying notjust diverse but expensive things you have to pay for. well, the recent pay rise, after all the old acceptor pay freeze, we have finally got a few percentage points, but that wasn't inflation linked in terms of money given to schools. that came out of the same pot. so the rise in universal credit, now that schools like mine, with parents from more challenging backgrounds, thatis from more challenging backgrounds, that is having an impact on them as well. so we are asking parents for money that some families have not got. we can almost look at it in a light—hearted way, as well, can't we? we can say we have will pay for

toilet roll and pencils, but what do you think this does the atmosphere in the school? i think it has a terrible effect on the atmosphere at school. i look at the school at my kids go which is quite mixed, a bit like yours, stephen, there are some affluent families and parents and others that are much less so, and what makes a difference is, if you organise an event for us, that's a lwa ys organise an event for us, that's always the best thing. it is an event that everyone can go to. so you might be a parent who can't afford to give any money to your school but you can absolutely afford to give yourtime, school but you can absolutely afford to give your time, and in that way you are helping and supporting the school in all sorts of ways. and there can be some fun in that, you can have targeted funding fear. are raising money for toilet roll, and i actually think, i think that would be devastating for our kids. you know, there are so many ways to do it. with the kids care? well, the kids would love it because it is about ottens. but no, it is not the way forward. in our school, when you ask parents to directly fund

anything, be it place standing order or those kind of schemes, i don't know if your school has ever tried, it just never quite know if your school has ever tried, itjust never quite works —— bottoms. you organise and bring it together and then there is a reason, then the money comes, and... does have always been for extras. we will have always been for extras. we will have to continue with this later. have always been for extras. we will have to continue with this latenm is almost like you two are doing saturday detention, isn't it? having to be on the sofa. both of you are coming back. the government said in a statement that core school funding will rise to a record £43.5 billion by 2020, the highest ever, and 50% more per pupil in real terms than in the year 2000. it goes on to say that this year, a typical primary class will get £130,000. iam sure i am sure many of you have a view on this. if you are going through similar experiences, being asked to help with funding for your local school. the headlines right up. hello — this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a fire has devastated one

of scotland's most highly prized buildings — the glasgow school of art, designed by charles rennie mackintosh. builders had been restoring the distinctive structure following a previous blaze in 2014. it had been due to reopen next year our correspondent alexandra mackenziejoins us now. they said the first call they got was around 11:20 p.m.. that's right. we have just come from that press conference. they see them this has been a very difficult knife. that call came before midnight. initially we saw around 60 firefighters here. but due to the extent that fire. it

grossed 120 at one point. the fire service have said they got here within minutes but already, the fire had engulfed the building from the very bottom floor to the very top. and when i arrived here at midnight, thatis and when i arrived here at midnight, that is exactly what i saw. you can see what looks like dampening down but this operation is very much in progress. and what the pie —— the fire service have said is they have called on services across scotland. you will keep us up—to—date all morning. theresa may says she is "disappointed" an attempt to make upskirting a criminal offence in england and wales did not progress through parliament after one of her own mps blocked it. conservatives have criticised sir christopher chope for objecting to the private member's bill. if passed, the new law would have seen offenders who secretly take photos underneath victim's clothes sentenced to up to two years injail. hundreds of civilians

are said to be trapped in their homes by the latest round of fighting in yemen. pro—government forces, backed by saudi arabia, are said to have the upper—hand in the battle to take the city of hudaydah . the port is a vital lifeline for aid supplies for millions of people threatened by famine. advice on the prevention of dementia will be added to the nhs health check for the first time following a successful pilot project. the test is offered for free to people in england aged between 40 and 74 and currently focusses on reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease. experts say choices that improve the health of the heart can also help the brain. there is a big competition going on.

there is a big competition going on. the world cup is under way. if you hadn't taken notice, chrisjudd renato, portugal and spain will make you excited. it was good football. absolutely brilliant ball. people are saying that cristiano ronaldo must be the best player of all time, 14 years at the top level. the first play to do that in history. last night was all about cristiano reynaldo. fide's at mines are about ronaldo. not all heroes wear capes. some wear the number seven. cristiano ronaldo, a man whose talents are spelt out, whose superpowers have this world cup at his feet. and the world cup sees cristiano ronaldo at his absolutely scintillating best. that best came in bookending

a breathtaking contest against spain, winning and scoring a fourth—minute penalty. in diego coast, though, spain have a striker built with strength and a sixth sense of where the goal is, ronaldo was not letting him hog the limelight. this effort proved david's kryptonite and portugal were ahead again. as costa equalised, this game was fast becoming a world cup classic. all it needed was a goal to match. and driven into the back of the net! an absolute peach of a goal! to put spain in front! no topping that, right? remember that portuguese superhero? it's ronaldo. he has done it! he has only gone and done it! 3—3, tres—tres — a thriller in any language. sometimes defensive teams win but i am happy that we can watch games like this, two teams really going for it and hopefully an amazing

world cup is coming ahead. elsewhere in the group, iran—morocco was not going to live up to that. it gave the fans that excuse to dig up the face paint but little in the way of history. the only goal came in stoppage time. flat on the canvas. the artwork in yekaterinburg was more like it, but egypt's mo salah painted a gloomy figure, benched on his birthday, unable to shoulder any blame. for all of uruguay‘s firepower, a defender was their hero, jose gimenez giving the two—time champions a 1—0 win. england are just a couple of days away now from their opener against tunisia. by the looks of things, they have a fully fit squad now and even our sports correspondent david ornstein has beenjoining in with some of the players activities. david — how is your darts?

good morning. iwas good morning. i was promised this is something we weren't going to talk about. i was so thoroughly embarrassed by jordan pickford yesterday. welcome to the gulf of finland, england's based on the woodland. there is saint petersburg right in the distance. i'm trying to change the subject. basically each day, and member of the media will ta ke day, and member of the media will take on the players. and it's not going well for the journalists. c of the daily mail was beaten by gary cadle and jordan pickford beat me yesterday. he beat me14— cadle and jordan pickford beat me yesterday. he beat me 14— 11 so i don't want to talk much more about that. and i was being sympathetic. i didn't want the england number one to suffer his first defeat and hopefully, things will continue to go well. all now fully fit and

closer to knowing the team from monday. any closer? the training session is fully behind closed doors. the team will line up as they start in volgograd against tunisia on monday but we won't be able to see that. there are suggestions carrots out —— southgate is clear. he hasn't yet communicated back to the players and might not do so until they are in volgograd. we will hear from the media until they are in volgograd. we will hearfrom the media centre until they are in volgograd. we will hear from the media centre closer to the team training centre. tomorrow, they will fly. that will be a training session followed by a flight training session followed by a flight to volgograd. the waiting continues. peru will be making their first appearance,

at a world cup in 36 years — they take on denmark in saransk, later this afternoon. already the peruvian fans have been making a name for themselves in russia — helping a wedding couple celebrate their marriage..|t‘s estimated around 40,000 peruvians, have made the journey over, for this once in a generation experience.. and tonight's final match sees croatia take on nigeria — and there's been a rather bizarre story overshadowing this one. the russian government has banned the nigeria fans‘ tradition, of bringing live chickens, into the stadium. it's understood that super eagles fans, will be advised on certain areas, outside the stadium, where they will be allowed to carry chickens, when supporting their team. so today, kicks off, with one of the favourites, france against australia. that's on bbc 1. argentina against iceland is at 2, with the first ever meeting between peru and denmark at 5:00. the late kick off sees croatia open their tournament against nigeria — with or without their chickens. that game on 5 live. andy murray will decide later whether he's fit enough to play at queen's club next week. the former world number one, played some practice sets yesterday. murray had a hip operation, injanuary, and hasn't played

since wimbledon, last year. let's keep everything crossed him. mention penalties to any england fan and they will break out in a cold sweat but when it comes to the knock out stage in russia, matches could once again be decided by a penalty shoot out, and england know the pain like no other nation — ‘96, ‘98, 2004, 2006 and 2012. however, it doesn't have to be this way, and to help i've been to learn from the best penalty taker of all time. face—to—face with the best penalty taken the game has ever seen in this

showdown at 12 yards. in all has professional career, matt le tissier missed just one of 49 penalties but even though i didn't stand a chance, he wasn't brave enough to look me in the eye. until i realised why. he wasn't brave enough to look me in the eye. until i realised whylj didn't like to make eye contact with the goalkeeper, i didn't want to give any clues so my focus would be on the ball orjust above the ball, soi on the ball orjust above the ball, so i could just see what the goalkeeper was doing, what his movements were like. if he goes too early. for me, this alone didn't make much difference. 0h, early. for me, this alone didn't make much difference. oh, no, you need to be at this angle, not that angle. the runner—up is quite slow so before the ball, you can excel great into it and get that speed on the ball. 0h, great into it and get that speed on the ball. oh, the post. practice your technique, on the ball

accurately. there we go. matt believes that like me the current young england side will have learned from the past and nightmares of empty shootout defeats like the one manager gareth southgate was part of the 1996. you have to work really ha rd the 1996. you have to work really hard on dismissing negative forces. i used to imagine the crowd erupting when i scored a penalty. send the wrong way, i've been relegated to ballboy. the youngsters here learn from the best penalty taker of all time. go inside that spot. don't worry about moving. yes! send the keeper the wrong way. there we go. if this is the future,

penalty pain will surely be the scourge of previous generations. since in the wrong way. he said, don't worry where the keeper is going. don't always look at where you at —— where you are wrapped. going. don't always look at where you at -- where you are wrapped. aim to whether you are going and you can shoot with the goalkeeper. full of confidence but still delivered more divided. how do you think england are going to do if we come to a penalty shootout? terrible? that's not an answer. this is where you need to start, this is the ageing need to start, this is the ageing need to start, this is the ageing need to be on. kaine and ko, we hope you're watching. there is your first sticker. you never looked the goalkeeper in the eye. it would be that whole staring down. keep them guessing. we should

try that with m. thank you very much indeed. here is nick with a look at this morning's weather. can you let us in the eye after this forecast? it depends if i tell the truth or not. i am trying to hide something from you. let's start with the truth of how it looks outside in norfolk a short time ago. plenty of cloud but a dry start to the day here. plenty of cloud across much of the uk. it is raining for some of us as well. showery rain today means not all the same intensity. it tends to come and go but many of us seeing wet weather at some stage of the day. some sunshine around at times, especially later, tomorrow a lot of cloud around but it will be a dry day compared with today. the big picture shows we have weather fronts moving into the uk. low pressure to the north—west of us. these fronts are gradually spreading east. behind them we will see some sunshine, already brightening up across

northern ireland but there will be further showers following on behind. a lot of cloud in scotland, outbreaks of rain spreading is today. some heavy bursts, maybe a rumble of thunder, the northern isles staying dry with sunny spells. scattered showers following, northern england a lot of cloud. outbreaks of rain, heavy bursts and media rumble of thunder. brightening up media rumble of thunder. brightening up this afternoon from the west. wales and the midlands seeing a bit of rain at the moment, that clears on through and the sun appears in south—east england as well. still one or two showers around. east anglia and south—east england can expect a lot of cloud around, but mainly dry and till we get into late afternoon and early evening. cooler for many of us compared with yesterday, especially across southern parts. moderate to fresh south—westerly breeze. into the evening, we have a few showers this evening, we have a few showers this evening especially across eastern parts. you could catch a heavy one. a clear away and then clear skies for a time. temperatures dipping away for some into single figures,

especially eastern scotland in north—east england. you will notice cloud coming back into the west by the end of the night, and that is a sign of things to come for tomorrow. a lot of cloud around, north—east scotla nd a lot of cloud around, north—east scotland seeing sunny spells, and there will be some breaks in that cloud across eastern parts of england as well, perhaps into the east of wales. it is still a fairly breezy picture. a lot of dry weather around, but south—west england, wales, perhaps at times in the north—west england, northern ireland, south—west scotland, there is always the chance here that you are going to see it that of patchy rain, notamounting are going to see it that of patchy rain, not amounting to too much and not all day long. your sunday temperatures are fairly similar compared with today but some of us getting a little bit higher, and into next week across parts of the south of the uk, temperatures back into the 20s. but some rain at times next week for a time into scotland and northern ireland. we can look you in the eye definitely after that forecast. it doesn't look too bad. i am scared now, he is scary! we will be back with the headlines at 8:00am. now it is time for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch,

with me, samira ahmed. the leaders of the united states and north korea meet. historic, certainly, but did this get carried away by president trump's gameshow—style approach? and was coverage of the anniversary of the grenfell tower fire excessive and maudlin? it's been a bumper week for news, with president trump's meeting with kimjong—un, a crucial vote on brexit, the one—year anniversary of the grenfell tower and the start of the world cup, all vying for attention from editors. we'll be hearing your reactions to how all these stories were covered, starting with the summit in singapore on tuesday, which was widely described as historic. the handshake in history. donald trump becomes the first serving us president to meet a north korean leader. just months after trading insults, an extraordinary turn of events as president trump and kim jong—un meet face—to—face.

a lot of progress, really very positive. i think better than anybody could have expected. how much progress had actually been made, and how much substance there was to the agreement, was much debated. was the bbc and the media in general too quick to accept a white house narrative claiming a triumphant success? one twitter user thought so, posting this. but others thought the bbc was too critical and carping in its reporting of the summit. this was karishma vaswani on the news at one. and then another handshake, to seal the deal. but who was this a better deal for? no details, no mention of whether this denuclearisation process will be verifiable or irreversible. one might wonder what's actually

been achieved at this summit. john gray was watching that bulletin and wondered... jay oatman agreed. well, the bbc‘s seoul correspondent laura bicker was in singapore for the summit on tuesday. she's now at her base in south korea. laura, what was it like

covering this summit? a little bit surreal, because you're watching the president of the united states meet a north korean leader, and all the hype surrounding it. not only that, you had the north koreans arrive in singapore, this kind of heart of capitalism. and as they paraded through the streets, you could see crowds just forming, trying to get a glimpse of the north korean leader, because this is a man who's hardly been out of his country since he took power in 2011. i think for me, as well, it was an enormous privilege to spend the morning with south koreans in singapore who were watching the summit. they were incredibly emotional. they told me their hearts were in their mouths, there were people calling their mums who were born in north korea. and that, to me, tells me what this is all about. a number of diplomats said the optics were very good, the handshake, the signing ceremony but actually there was little of substance. did the bbc get sucked into trump's showbiz narrative on this?

there is always that fear that the spectacle in itself, the staging in itself, upstages the actualjournalism. but i think in this occasion, especially with regards to the bbc, we had enough expertise on the ground to see through any of that. but i think it's also worth pointing out that the staging was a huge part of that. to see the flag of north korea, the dprk flag, right next to the flag of the us is a sign that kim jong—un and donald trump were being treated as equals here, and that was part of the story. that is something in itself. and then, of course, you have that moment where kim jong—un went on his walkabout. he was waving to crowds, he was at the top of the marina bay sands in singapore. you look over this enormous singapore skyline, built a capitalist skyline, and the people back in north korea were shown this. and to see that — yes,

it was staged, yes, it was all part of the choreography of the summit, but people in north korea were shown this. and that in itself tells you something. it tells you kim jong—un is different from his father and grandfather. he is willing to either take this risk and also show people in north korea the kind of skyline that capitalism can build. that's a risk to take for him, and it shows that perhaps, just perhaps, this is paving the way for something biggerfor north korea. we do also get complaints from the opposite point of view, and there were viewers who felt that it was historic, and the bbc had qualified and quibbled far too much about what had been achieved. well, i think when it comes to the agreement, one of the first words out of my mouth to radio 4 was this is vague and lacking in detail, because it was. and part of the problem we had as journalists was the build—up, especially from the united states, was that they would only accept complete, irreversible, verifiable denuclearisation. that's an important qualification. those were the steps that they said

that they wanted to get. and to them, even the day before, the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, said they would accept nothing less, and that sanctions would stay in place until then, and that donald trump, if he didn't get a deal, he would walk away. to say all that and then on the day of the summit not get that on paper, yes, there is the word complete denuclearisation there, but the two key words, verifiable and irreversible, are not there. there's no sign that weapons inspectors will be allowed in. it doesn't detract from the fact that this is historic. the two sides meeting is a start in itself. but i think, as journalists, it's ourjob to look at the detail and the fine print of what was signed. do you think yourjob reporting on north korea is going to be easier now? i'd like to think so, i'd like to hope so. i don't see that changing any time soon. north korea is very selective about the media it lets in.

even when they blew up its nuclear test site, they invited select press in, and the bbc was not one of them. i, as a reporter, would love to go and report independently from north korea. we have had reporters go in in the past. it does make it difficult because we've got to rely on information that we're either given, through state—run media, or information that comes from my colleagues. we have colleagues from afp and ap based in pyongyang. so when it comes to getting information it would be much better if we could get into north korea and report for ourselves. i don't see that changing any time soon. i'd love it if it would, but i don't see it changing any time soon. laura bicker, thank you. tuesday's debate in the house of commons on the role mps will play if they don't like the brexit deal that's been negotiated, or if no deal has been reached,

had been hotly anticipated as a major challenge to the government. in the end, this is how the news at ten reported the event. now here, the government has avoided what would have been a major defeat in the commons over its brexit bill by issuing a concession to potential rebels. the nature of those concessions was much discussed in the days that followed. but it was the way the result of the vote was reported that annoyed peter furneax, amongst others. he wrote... special programmes, reports and live coverage this week marked a year since the grenfell tower fire, and on thursday night the anniversary was marked by the bbc one bulletins at 6:00pm and 10:00pm with a tribute to the 72 people who died in the fire. i hear your voice every day.

and i see your face. but you're not there. at that moment, we felt like our hearts had broken. steve carter from preston had this response. and donna ward made this wider point about the week's coverage. finally, if you think we've forgotten about a certain and donna ward made this wider point about the week's coverage. finally, if you think we've

forgotten about a certain large—scale sporting occasion that began on thursday, that's not something you could accuse the bbc of, including its news output. no matter where they're held, the start of a world cup retains the power to excite and unite like little else in sport. and here, today, it was no different. we plan to explore, in the next week or two, how bbc news is handling the world cup. but in the meantime, here's an observation from tim hewitt from smethwick made on tuesday while looking at the programme schedules for later in the week. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions on bbc news and current affairs, or even appear on the programme, you can call us, or e—mail. find us on twitter @newswatchbbc,
