8:00 am
hello this is breakfast, with chris mason and sally nugent. theresa may announces a five—year plan to pump billions more into the nhs. she says the extra spending will be partly paid for by a brexit dividend, but there could be tax rises. we are making the nhs our priority. we are putting a significant amount of extra money into it, we need to make sure that money is spent wisely. good morning, it's sunday 17thjune. also this morning. pressure grows for a change in the law after the government allows a boy with severe epilepsy to be treated with an illegal form of cannabis oil. we are live in valencia, spain, where more than 600 refugees and migrants rescued, refused entry by italy and malta, have finally found
8:01 am
a safe port. and in sport, it's not often you see this. lionel messi misses a penalty, as iceland draw with argentina in their first ever world cup match. and nick has the weather. good morning. we have a mainly cloudy day ahead, and whilst some of us will remain dry, there will be a bit of patchy rain particularly across western parts of the uk, though it's not going to be as wet as it was for some of us yesterday. join me for the full forecast a little later on. good morning. first, our main story, theresa may has announced new funding for the nhs in england. it will mean an extra £20 billion a year by the end of a five year plan. the prime minister said some of the funds would come from money the uk will no longer have to pay into the eu budget after brexit. but she hinted the rest may have to come from higher taxation. some people may remember seeing a figure on the side of a bus, a while back... £350 million a week. in cash. well, i can tell you, that what i'm announcing
8:02 am
will mean that in 2023—24, there will be about £600 million a week in cash, more, in cash, going into the nhs. it is short of what the independent analysis which we got done, which suggested it needs 4% a year. this looks like 3.4%. it is short of that. but i think overall we should welcome that, and we should welcome the stability that it will bring, if we're right in thinking that we know what we're going to get between now and over the next years. we're joined now by our political correspondent jonathan blake. jonathan, what has the political reaction been to this announcement? things in politics are rarely as simple as the politicians might like to point out. when the prime minister talks about the brexit
8:03 am
dividend, that is something which people argue doesn't really exist. the uk will stop paying into the eu budget after we leave the eu, but that money may well be accounted for elsewhere if the government wants to keep funding sectors such as agriculture which get funding back from the eu as a result. there is also the rebate that the uk gets back every year as well from its contributions. and the government's own spending watchdog has said that tax revenues will fall overall as a result of brexit. the government has accepted that so we'll have less money to spend in general. nevertheless, that's the detail. it's the message that matters for the government and for the prime minister to clearly linked the money she apparently thinks the uk will save as a result of leaving the eu to nhs funding is a very powerful thing for her to be able to do. it will please a lot of brexiteers within harrowing party and beyond.
8:04 am
it's not as much as campaigners wa nted it's not as much as campaigners wanted —— within her own party. labour says the government has left the nhs in crisis and will cost billions to recoup the amount they will have to borrow as a result of spending cuts. even if we take into account the so—called brexit dividend, the prime minister writing in the mail on sunday saying that alone will not be a —— will not be enough and we will have to contribute more. that means taxes will have to go up to pay for this. thank you. and you can see more of that interview with the prime minister on the andrew marr show a nine o'clock on bbc one. campaigners are calling for medicinal cannabis to be made legally available in the uk, after the home secretary intervened to help a 12—year—old suffering from epilepsy. billy caldwell has been given back the cannabis oil, that was confiscated from his mother at customs on monday, after doctors made clear it was a "medical emergency". the oil, which contains a substance called thc,
8:05 am
is illegal in the uk. earlier, billy's mother, charlotte told us how he was after resuming treatment. billy's mother, charlotte said they had "achieved the impossible." two doses yesterday and this morning, already we are seeing an improvement. the doctors here are very happy, they aren't saying that billy shouldn't have this medicine, they are in fact encouraging billy to continue having this medicine administered. more than 600 migrants who've been at the centre of a row between european countries over where they should go are beginning to arrive in spain. both italy and malta has refused to take them after they were picked up off the coast of libya. 0ur europe correspondent, damian grammaticas, is in valencia for us. good morning. what will happen next, once these migrants arrive? what is happening here is that they are
8:06 am
coming... inaudible they have been off—loading for an hour or so. everyone who comes off... the spanish government has said they are trying to make this an approach that will influence european attitudes, they are going to offer free medical checks, anyone who needs hospital ca re checks, anyone who needs hospital care will get that. we know there are pregnant women, we know there are pregnant women, we know there are 100 children amongst those rescued. the children travelling unaccompanied, and there are dozens of them, will be taken to have special care themselves in valencia, and all of the others will be distributed around this city, surrounding cities and other cities in spain. fora month surrounding cities and other cities in spain. for a month they will receive free care while their cases are investigated. then, france has said it supports the approach and is prepared to take any who have
8:07 am
genuine claims for asylum, while the claims are investigated. the politics is so complex because the rules say migrants should effectively stay in the first european country they arrive at but that places quite a burden on countries like italy and greece. that places quite a burden on countries like italy and greecem does. that's where we are seeing the schism opening up in europe. those countries, italy and greece which have had hundreds of thousands of arrivals in the last three years have said and complained that other european countries haven't done enough to help them. what we see here now in spain is a political shift, a new socialist government which has brought a new approach. it says primarily the approach should be humanitarian, to accept ships like this, to offer care that people need and then investigate their cases. what we now see is a push in
8:08 am
europe to try to reform those asylum processes , europe to try to reform those asylum processes, so europe to try to reform those asylum processes, so it's not the first country of arrivals. that's the idea, that the arrivals should be shared around. that is a difficult political question around which there are many deep divisions in europe. you are seeing polar opposites between italy and malta and places like spain trying to push and places like spain trying to push a different approach. thank you. apologies for the break—up on the line. firefighters have spent a second night at the scene of a huge blaze at the glasgow school of art. it's the second fire there in four years. nearby buildings, including a nightclub and a music venue, have also been damaged. 0ur correspondent catriona renton is there for us now. what have the firefighters said about what's been happening overnight? once again, people in this city are waking up with disbelief at the beloved macintosh building which went up in flames for the second time in four years. you
8:09 am
can see the scaffolding, that was restoration work from the last time around. it had been due to open next year but sadly this has happened. 0vernight 50 firefighters were here. their focus was on making the building safe. they are still dampening down the macintosh building and the nightclub in front of it. those shots show you they still dampening down the buildings in the hope of containing the damage. this fire was more extensive than the one last time around. experts seem to be saying there is little hope that the building can be restored this time. it's especially sad because this is the 150th anniversary since the birth of charles mackintosh. the question
8:10 am
people are asking now is how did this fire start? this is a very complicated building, lots of rooms, very detailed. it could be some before it made entirely safe for forensics investigators to get a proper look. we could be waiting for some time for answers. this is such an iconic building in glasgow, so famous. what has been the reaction from people living there? its grief. it has been very sad, the reaction. we've seen people coming past, whether it's been tourists and it's of course famous for that, whether its current students and former stu d e nts its current students and former students at the school of art to have come, many with tears in their rise and telling of their memories of the building. that building has seen so many of the building. that building has seen so many successful artists go through it. the three recent turner prize winners have come from the glasgow school of art. there's
8:11 am
people like peter ca paldi, glasgow school of art. there's people like peter capaldi, robbie coltrane who both went there. there's a roll call of big names who have set foot in that building. they've called it a living building. they've called it a living building. they call the building a work of art which was charles rennie mackintosh‘s masterpiece, an attraction that people come from the world over to see. russian police are questioning the driver of a taxi which ran into a crowd of people in central moscow. it's believed some of the eight people injured were mexican football fans visiting the city for the world cup. it's not clear whether the collision was a deliberate act or an accident. sajid javid has revealed he was the victim of a moped mugging shortly before he was appointed home secretary. in an interview with the sun on sunday newspaper, mrjavid said he was about to make a call when thieves rode on to the pavement and grabbed his phone. he said the incident left him "angry and upset" and he was hoping
8:12 am
to give police more power to pursue moped thieves. here's nick with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. lower expectations, a lot of cloud out there. i showed you earlier a bit of sunshine across parts of eastern england. 0n the whole this is the seen many of us are waking up to this morning. there's been a bit of rain out there, the most part the bulk of the rain today will be across western parts of uk. it's a bit damp and dreary out there is plenty of cloud is coming into the uk from the south—west. it will continue to nibble into the sunshine we are starting the day with the prospect parts of eastern scotland and
8:13 am
eastern england. a splash of rain across southern england this morning, that's clearing away. it will turn dryer behind that. the rain will continue to feed occasionally towards south—west england, wales, north—west england, northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland today. to the east you might catch a few showers. a lot of dry weather to come, just not very much sunshine. it will be nearing 20 celsius in the warmer parts of eastern scotland and eastern england. there's quite a breeze out there and through the night and tomorrow that wind will strengthen and become very dusty and northern scotla nd and become very dusty and northern scotland at around 50 mph. some light rain from the cloud possible through the course of the evening. then it clears the and the skies are clearing. more of the land appearing on the map behind me. temperatures and going down too far, still a few spots in northern scotland getting into single figures. it will be
8:14 am
holding around the mid—teens for some here. a fairly promising start to monday with quite a bit of dry and sunny weather around. quite windy out there, that will be the story through the day particularly across northern scotland. you'll see the cloud increasing again into wales and the south—west. you could see drizzle but more substantial rain reaching parts of northern ireland, north—west england and northern scotland. much of eastern scotla nd northern scotland. much of eastern scotland will stay dry, central and eastern england. there's a north—west, south—east split in the weather and in terms of temperature to, as the rain moves into stornoway with quite strong winds. much warmer in the sunshine towards the south—east compared with today. that split will last for the first half of the week. same areas getting the rain on monday, a chance of rain through tuesday to wednesday, quite windy. further south and south—east, warmer in some sunshine. all parts
8:15 am
will settle down later in the week as high pressure builds in across the uk. there are signs of an improvement in the forecast. it's a lwa ys improvement in the forecast. it's always reassuring when you hear the weatherman talking about "settling down"! we love positivity on a sunday morning. his name is synonymous with home innovations, but sirjames dyson is notjust a billionaire vacuum cleaner inventor. he is also one of the largest owners of farmland in the uk. sirjames, who is an outspoken supporter of brexit, thinks he has come up with a way of transforming how we farm after we leave the eu. countryfile's tom heap was given an exclusive look at the scheme. we know brexit poses challenges for uk farming and food production, but the westminster government says it does have a plan. it outlines a more dynamic, self—reliant agricultural industry, where technology helps to boost productivity and farmers collaborate more to make the business more
8:16 am
profitable and competitive. 0ne landowner embracing this vision of future farming is sirjames dyson. he may be better known for his household technological revolutions, but he is also helping change the face of modern agriculture. he has given countryfile exclusive access to see that change in action. it's perhaps not surprising that innovation is right at its heart. 0ur ethos is to develop technology to make farming more efficient and profitable and to use fewer chemicals and things that damage the soil. it is sort—of high—tech for low input? exactly that, yes. it is notjust with the latest tech where sirjames believes he is ahead of the curve. we have built 93 miles of hedging, we're building 15 kilometres of dry stone walling, repairing the ditches, about 650 hectares and set aside grass.
8:17 am
all this increases the biodiversity amongst the farm. his improvements have cost him £75 million, so can the typical uk farmer afford to keep up? colin chapple's farm is a tiny fraction of the size of james'. he believes smaller farmers will need to band together in the future. we are going to have to cut costs or share machinery, share farms even. share farming, why not? are farmers going to embrace that? i think we are going to have to, we have no alternative. yes. although sirjames runs one of the uk's largest farming businesses, it still depends on subsidies. so, with plans to change how farming is supported after brexit, will this multi—billionaire still be able to afford to farm? so i think we pay farmers
8:18 am
an equivalent amount of money, to that of which european farmers are getting, for being good farmers. good environmental stewardship. that is a perfectly good way to give subsidies. if we don't get grants, we cannot grow food, we have to do something else on the land. it seems whatever your size of farm, the future will still mean subsidies if uk agriculture is to compete with other nations. tom heap, bbc news. you can see tom's full report on countryfile, tonight, at 7pm on bbc one. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning. theresa may has announced a five year plan to plough an extra £20 billion into the nhs in england. some of the cash will be provided by money saved by brexit. campaign groups are calling for medicinal cannabis to be made legal in the uk after the home sceretary used "an exceptional power" to licence the treatment
8:19 am
of a 12—year—old epilepsy sufferer. singers from hereford cathedral will make history later this month when they become the first anglican cathedral choir to sing at a papal mass since the reformation. the group has been invited as part of the pope's programme to encourage church diversity. 0ur reporter kevin reide went along to hear their final rehearsal before they head to rome. after christmas and easter, the feast of st peter and paul is the vatican's most important annual event. singing. and now, for the first time, the hereford cathedral choir has been invited as special guests. they are performing a rehearsal in a pretty empty hereford cathedral, but in a few weeks' time, they will be performing in front of 125,000 people, and tens of millions of people will be watching on tv. it is great fun and you get
8:20 am
to see amazing places. as long as we do not mess up, it'll be fine. it is all happening at the end ofjune, and, in fact, there will be two performances. they will be performing in the sistine chapel with the choir of the sistine chapel, attended by the diplomatic corp of the vatican. then we will see the huge papal mass, the feast of st peter, in the square. the roman catholic church and the anglican churches have not had the closest of relationships, but in recent years, the vatican has been building bridges.
8:21 am
the fact we have been invited speaks volumes of the roman catholics wanting to reach out to us and wanting to return the invitation, delighted with what we have been asked to do. the choir will perform on wednesday the 27th and friday the 29th of june. bbc news, hereford. ifind i find myself getting very excited when i say, for the first time this week! have you ever said "for the first time since the reformation"? not until this morning! you're watching breakfast from bbc news, time now for a look at the newspapers. anne—marie imafidon founded the company stemettes, which supports young women and girls to pursue a career in stem industries. that things like technology and
8:22 am
engineering... and science and maths. first let's look at the front pages. we are going to start with the observer which is leading on the same story as we are this morning, theissue same story as we are this morning, the issue of nhs funding. the prime minister unveiling this boost to nhs spending. the prime minister is on the andrew marr show in a0 minutes' time. guess what's on the front page of the daily mail. they are saying theresa may lets the public will be willing to face tax hikes for better ca re willing to face tax hikes for better care in the future. the sunday times... you can see the front page story
8:23 am
there, that is according to the sunday times. they say there is a crisis in the nation's policing, exposed by their figures. the last front page is the sunday people and it has a picture of charlotte caldwell and her son billy. we spoke to charlotte in the last a0 minutes saying how pleased she has been now that billy has been given his cannabis oil wax. he benefits very much from being treated by cannabis oil. she has it for at least another 20 days. lets go into the inside pages and what you've dug out. this is the sunday telegraph. this is a theme we come back too readily.
8:24 am
whether it's business, arts, journalism, so many areas of public life, in terms of the extent to which they are reflecting society at large. this is danielle denise who is an opera singer and fronting this diversity campaign to ensure we have more equality across performers and across the field. it's a message to those who are fearful of being too stale, male and pale to succeed now. her messages you may have had a seat but there are others who haven't and this isn't about you being overthrown and not being able to get the opportunities but more about opening up and allowing others to also have a seat next to you alongside this performance. it is looking at equality in something like opera. we may not have spoken about it recently, but in the arts we need to make sure we've got that balance. it's tricky because opera is seen as so posh and elitist. how
8:25 am
do you get normal people involved? this is it. opening up, people feeling they've got a chance and not snubbing them because they don't look like what an opera singer looks like, with the limited representation we have. the next story, i could have written this headline myself. i could have predicted this. we aren't looking at that little dog... it's not a dog! it's a hyena! laughter close! a particularly nasty looking dog! pollen is highest in 12 years. everyone has hay fever at the moment. even if you don't normally have it, you do. it's not something that's gone wrong, it's notjust you! it's going to get worse next week, hires pollen count for 12
8:26 am
years. why is this? the suggestions here at all to close your windows and don't spend too long outside, which i don't know... but get ready. it's coming. get your antihistamines ready. i want to know what the dogs look like round your parts! quite scary! i can say with confidence the picture in the mail on sunday hear about the french bulldog... the british bulldog, i was going to say but it's a french bulldog. for the first time in almost 30 years it is now our top dog. instead of the labrador. so the french bulldog has officially overtaken the labrador as britain's favourite dog. as her registrations in the first three months of this year. it's a rise of
8:27 am
2496. is it because they are cute and trendy? they are all so lovable and fit into lifestyles of those who live in cities. i've got a smaller dog and she's been here on the sofa, she sat on my knee and she's literally that big. she's cute, she ru ns literally that big. she's cute, she runs around but will also be really well—behaved. i guess that's one of the advantages of having a little dog. although they say french bulldog are stubborn. they are controversial because some of them can't breathe very well. they have real breathing problems. because of the way we've bred them. they are very trendy but not particularly popular within the veteran terry communities. —— veterinary communities. —— veterinary communities. this is the sunday mirrorand a communities. this is the sunday mirror and a story about frank bruno. library cash, just below
8:28 am
frank. congratulations to frank because he's going to be a grandfather! that is a great picture! happy father's day to all the dads everywhere. happy father's day! there's no connection between frank bruno and the funding but this is about library funding. and how it's being cut. under the tories we are down £330 million of funding for libraries. i was at the british library earlier this week talking to them about how they are working with libraries across the country and the ambitions they've got. it's this resource that we are losing out on and libraries are a great place the knowledge, especially now in what we call the digital age. not everyone has access to those resources and libraries are fantastic resources and we should be putting more in to allow them to broaden the scope of
8:29 am
what they do. you can have big chunks of your life where you might not go anywhere near a public library, and then suddenly in the last few years i'm back in the library is the first time since i was a teenager and you realise how important they are. to the point of moving forward, there is the british library's ip centre for anyone who wants to start a business. they have access to all these amazing resources. it's notjust necessarily for children but if you're starting a business, head to your local library for some support. my local library for some support. my local library has a campaign to keep it open. i'm sure lots of people watching will say that. we're talking about queueing to get back into the country? after brexit. maybe we will have uk only queues and then eu queues, the rest of the
8:30 am
world, whatever it might be. they have worked out it will be too much to have our own queue when we come back into the country. that is a little bit of a downer after you have come back from holiday, you are still in the queue with others even though you are coming back in. i don't know, i felt i though you are coming back in. i don't know, ifelt i had though you are coming back in. i don't know, i felt i had to though you are coming back in. i don't know, ifelt i had to mention that. i haven't been watching, but i love my holidays, there might be other unintended consequences. thank you for coming in this morning. as you for coming in this morning. as you say, sajid javid is making his mark as home secretary and our programme this morning. coming up in the next half hour... as england prepare to kick off their world cup journey, we'rejoined by former executive director of the fa, david davies, to assess their chances. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and sally nugent. here's a summary of this morning's main news. first, our main story, theresa may has announced new funding for the nhs in england. it will mean an extra
8:31 am
£20 billion a year by the end of a five year plan. the prime minister said some of the funds would come from money the uk will no longer have to pay into the eu budget after brexit. but she hinted the rest may have to come from higher taxation. labour says they would have invested nearly £9 billion extra this year alone and that the government's funding plan was wishful thinking. some people might remember seeing a figure on the side of a bus a while back. £350 million a week. in cash! what i am announcing is that in 2023-2a, what i am announcing is that in 2023—2a, there will be about £600 million a week in cash, more in cash, going into the nhs. it is short of what the independent analysis which we got done was, which suggested it needs a% a year. this looks like 3.a%. it is short of that. overall, we should welcome it
8:32 am
and welcome the stability it will bring, if we are right in thinking that we know what we are going to get between now and over the next five years. and you can see more of that interview with the prime minister on the andrew marr show a 9 o'clock on bbc one. campaigners are calling for medicinal cannabis to be made legally available in the uk, after the home secretary intervened to help a 12—year—old suffering from epilepsy. billy caldwell has been given back the cannabis oil, that was confiscated from his mother at customs on monday, after doctors made clear it was a "medical emergency". the oil, which contains, a substance called thc, is illegal in the uk. earlier, billy's mother, charlotte told us how he was after resuming treatment. two doses yesterday and this morning, already we are seeing an improvement. the doctors here are very happy, they aren't saying that billy shouldn't have this medicine, they are in fact encouraging billy to continue having this medicine administered. the first of three ships carrying more than 600 migrants,
8:33 am
which has been refused entry by both italy and malta, has arrived in spain this morning. the spanish government says it has accepted an offer from france to take in some of the migrants rescued off libya. a huge banner saying "welcome" in several languages will greet the vessels at the port of valencia. firefighters have spent a second night at the scene of a huge blaze at the glasgow school of art. it's the second fire to engulf the famous mackintosh building in four years. officials say the flames have now largely been extinguished, but small pockets remain. a nightclub and a music venue nearby have also been damaged. russian police are questioning the driver of a taxi which ran into a crowd of people in central moscow. it's believed some of the eight people injured were mexican football fans visiting the city for the world cup. it's not clear whether the collision was a deliberate act or an accident. sajid javid has revealed he was the victim of a moped mugging shortly before he was appointed home secretary.
8:34 am
in an interview with the sun on sunday newspaper, mrjavid said he was about to make a call when thieves rode on to the pavement and grabbed his phone. he said the incident left him "angry and upset" and he was hoping to give police more power to pursue moped thieves. we are getting ever closer, hour by hour, to kick off, aren't we, john? the countdown is on. are you excited? permanently! it is almost upon us. i like it, we have been able to get excited about the opening ceremony, the first games, we have seen opening ceremony, the first games, we have seen some opening ceremony, the first games, we have seen some corkers, then we can relax and then england play. lots of great goals. let's hope that england have some tomorrow. england are just one day away now from their opener against tunisia. we know nothing of who will feature in the starting 11 — only the players know those details. gareth southgate, breaking from
8:35 am
tradition and announcing to his team who will be playing earlier than usual. we can speak now to david ornstein is with the squad in reppino. we talked about gareth southgate announcing his squad. tell us what happens now for the team, the players, the managers, the coaching staff. they have a long trip to come for the opening match tomorrow? they have indeed. they are currently trailing behind me in the spartak stadium. you might hear some thuds in the background, the balls are being kicked around after a light—hearted warm up, syntactical games, jokey sessions. the spirits are so games, jokey sessions. the spirits are so high among the squad. but then the serious work is getting going. after this training session, which is now closed, we were inside for the first 15 minutes but it is now closed, they will make their way
8:36 am
back to the team hotel, they'll have a warm down with some exercise machines there and then they will have some lunch, pack their bags. early afternoon they will head for the airport, st petersburg's main airport, they will fly by private jet to volgograd. it is about 1000 miles, two and a half hours south. the weather is much warmer there than here. i mean, this is a pleasa nt than here. i mean, this is a pleasant climate, but it is over 30 degrees so they will have to prepare for that intensity. one night there, match day tomorrow and then there will fly back on the night of the match to this base. the hotel is not farfrom here. it is match to this base. the hotel is not far from here. it is actually written as "for rest mix". it is like a home away from home for them, but they will only be happy if they get a but they will only be happy if they geta win but they will only be happy if they get a win against tunisia. from outside, gareth southgate seems to
8:37 am
have adopted a more relaxed approach. that is reflected in the relationship with the media, i have seen you relationship with the media, i have seen you playing darts with one of the players. do you think that approach is working and do you think it will help the team? i guess we will find out tomorrow? it bodes well. that is all we can say. we have not seen camps like this before with england. if you think back to the euros in france, where the players were not allowed to talk to the media about their internal darts competition. now we are playing against them. i played against jordan pickford, i lost. the media are losing 3—0. there is also tenpin bowling and table football in the media centre. and in their hotel they have facilities, computer games, basketball courts, swimming pools. it is very relaxed, the media are allowed to mingle with the players and it has created a lot of goodwill. that is what we can say. we don't know how they will perform
8:38 am
on the pitch. gareth southgate has informed the players, they know where are standing now. there is no indecision, everybody knows if they are playing, if they are on the benchjohn not involved. they can prepare mentally for that match. i think that is something that past coaches might not have done. fabio capello, one of the previous managers, didn't tell the players untiljust managers, didn't tell the players until just before managers, didn't tell the players untiljust before the match in one of the major tournaments. i can hear them laughing and joking. it's interesting that fabian delph, in his press conference, said well we are in training things are serious, we get at each other. that is what they need to do on the pitch, to hopefully start with a win and get the campaign off to a flying start. many thanks indeed, good to hear thatjordan many thanks indeed, good to hear that jordan pickford many thanks indeed, good to hear thatjordan pickford is a safe pair of hands, if he's with darts.|j can't tell you how different it sounds from other world cups i have covered, playing darts with the players, we were not allowed anywhere near them the last few
8:39 am
times i did a world cup. it is nice, i guess that reflects the relaxed approach. and they are ahead, they have scored a victory, 3—0 up already. long may it continue. they will be searching for a hero tomorrow. iceland found theirs in the shape of their part time movie director goalkeeper who saved a penalty from none other than lionel messi, iceland drawing one all with argentina. elsewhere there were wins for france, croatia and denmark as drew savage can tell us. a first world cup point for iceland and another magic moment for their fans to celebrate. argentina have won two world cups, iceland had never played in one before. so when sergio aguero demonstrated what he usually does for manchester city, it looked like business as usual. but as england among others have discovered, it doesn't pay to underestimate iceland. alfred finnbogason scores the first goal, it is their first ever at the world cup! this looked like argentina's lifeline.
8:40 am
messi bundled over, a clear penalty. his first big moment on this year's world cup stage, snatched away by hannes haldorsson. not the hardest penalty he'll ever have to save, but definitely the most famous. so it isn't messi and argentina who find themselves top of group d, but croatia — who beat a surprisingly lacklustre nigeria 2—0. oghenekaro etebo's own goal was followed by a luka modric penalty, and the croats were celebrating. here's a bit more world cup history. initially this wasn't a penalty, but the video assistant referees suggested this challenge on france's antoine griezmann was worth a second look and it became first world cup penalty to be awarded, after a video review. and griezmann became the first man to score one as well. france went on to win 2—1. paul pogba's shot did cross the line after hitting the bar. video technology used again to confirm it,
8:41 am
in this case seeming to make things clearer. in the same group, peru's first world cup match for 36 years had its own piece of history, var gave them a penalty they wouldn't otherwise have had against denmark. christian cueva, the man fouled, took the responsibility of puttting it away, which might well be a decision he regrets. the danes didn't create many chances, but only needed yussuf poulsen to score this one. delightful if you're danish. peru must pick themselves up before they play france on thursday. that was the best of yesterday's action and we have a feast for you tomorrow. that is the day and evening taken ca re that is the day and evening taken care of! nothing's going right for england's rugby union side at the moment, they're
8:42 am
on their longest losing streak for four years, after giving up yet another lead to go down 23—12 against south africa. it means they've lost the series — head coach eddiejones called it a "horror movie" — matt dawson suggested jones might even have lost the dressing room. the world cup, remember, is next year. ireland responded brilliantly to their defeat last weekend, levelling their series with australia thanks to a 26—21win in melbourne — that's the first time they've beaten the wallabies on their own turf since 1979. wales are unbeaten this summer. they beat argentina 30—12 which included this stunning solo try from josh adams, which closes off their tour in style. and scotland have lost to the united states for the first time. blair kinghorn had put the scots ahead with an early try. but the usa then went ahead and kinghorn wasn't celebrating at the end, when he missed a conversion in added time that would've won it for them. 30—29 it finished. that miss, proving costly.
8:43 am
andy murray will return to tennis for the first time in almost a year, next week — and he says he can still win grand slam titles. he hasn't played since wimbledon last year and he's been really struggling with a hip injury that needed surgery injanuary. he'll play in the first round at queen's on tuesday. it's not a gamble by me going on to that court that i will injure my hip while playing, it is just you never know exactly when you are ready. especially after this amount of time. i am sure if i tried to play, if i missed the grass court season, the same doubts would still be there. also out on the grass isjohanna konta who's through to the final of the notthingham open after beating the defending champion donna vekic. the british number one lost in the final to vekic last year. but she overturned that result, winning their rain—interrupted match in straight sets. she'll play australia's ashleigh barty for the title today. justin rose is one shot behind a four—way tie for the lead, going into the final round of the us open at shinnecock hills
8:44 am
in new york state — but it's phil mickelson that everyone's talking about. after missing a putt, he deliberately hit his ball while it was moving, knowing he'd be given a two—shot penalty, but deciding that was better than letting the ball run off the green. he thought he would take the penalty inside. he didn't withdraw, contrary to that caption. so, playing the rules? a little bit naughty. a little bit naughty!? very naughty! tell him off. one man has some experience of what to expect from the world cup, and has been to everyone since 1966, is the former executive director of the fa, david davies, hejoins us now. not quite every one! since 1966.
8:45 am
1966 was the first one, i think this will be the tenth. tenth? that is quite a record. i don't think it is a record, lots of people have been two world cup after world cup. probably not many have been as a fan, as! probably not many have been as a fan, as i have, right at the start, in 1966. i have all of my tickets. my in 1966. i have all of my tickets. my mother gave me a season ticket for all of the wembley matches for england for taking my a—levels. i did say taking. those are my tickets. i have a little folder as well. i think it was ten bob for the final. your mum was a clever lady. a woman of foresight, but she did not know what she was letting me in for. it went on. i have also been lucky enough to be a journalist with the
8:46 am
bbc, i went first with northern ireland in 1986, with billy bingham. and then in 1990, with a great, late sir bobby robson. i still remember those days with bobby robson and the england team. gazza was there, peter shilton, gary lineker. there, in an awful shell suit. that is a cracker! very stylish. was that obligatory?” fear that i might have chosen it. i can't believe it. it was a phenomenal world cup.” can't believe it. it was a phenomenal world cup. i was going to say, that was just a glorious time, wasn't it? you were witness to all of that. some of the pictures inside the england team hotel. at the top, gazza, peter shilton, peter beardsley. peter shilton, ithink gazza, peter shilton, peter beardsley. peter shilton, i think he got to his record number of caps for england during that tournament. a great friend and a great hero. i
8:47 am
loved that world cup. everybody did. what is it like being so close with the squad? it is not something we get to see much. gareth southgate is trying to improve the relationship between the media and the camp? they had to. don't forget, we went through an immensely difficult time in the 90s, the early 20005, the in the 905, the early 20005, the relationship between the media and the players. phone hacking, goodness know5, the players. phone hacking, goodness knows, all of the other things going on at the time. gareth, the great thing that gareth southgate, player ina number of thing that gareth southgate, player in a number of tournaments, has done, he has learned the lessons that some of us learned to our cost during those turbulent tournaments. he has brought tho5e le55on5 during those turbulent tournaments. he has brought tho5e lessons to the current england team. has he done so because he has been there, featured in it? seen it. i'll give you the be5t in it? seen it. i'll give you the best example, we made progress in
8:48 am
the years of terry venable5, glenn hoddle, sven—goran erik55on, kevin keegan come on physical preparation. nutrition, all of thing. mental preparation, i would say that much preparation. there was a feeling in the fa that is overpaid player5 should be happy to go to a world cup and didn't need psychologists. the truth was, as this time, you have player5 truth was, as this time, you have players as young as the young full—back from liverpool, 19. you have a5hley young, 32. call me old—fashioned, but these players go out to a tournament, they have no idea how long they are going to be there. we hope there will be a long time. most of us hope they will be a long time. back home, who knows what i5 long time. back home, who knows what is happening? they have home5ickness, some have never been away for these periods of time. you have to deal with all of that. gareth has learned how people deal with it. different ways with different people. i have a bone to
8:49 am
pick with you. 2002,, 2006, with sven, the world cup site covered, it was very difficult going. we're hearing new5 was very difficult going. we're hearing news of the players playing darts, and we couldn't get near. then people speculate more. of course they do. got to write something! i had gone after 2006, not guilty for that. working with the former anc fighter and adviser to the world cup in south africa was a fantastic experience on top of everything else. you are absolutely right. it is not a relationship that was made in heaven. that's for sure. it got steadily more difficult. as i say, the circumstances were different. a player that was in the
8:50 am
euros, the start of the week, the first match in 1996, two players are 22 were prepared to speak to the media. one was called alan shearer and the other was called gareth southgate. how interesting! it did improve. david, lovely to talk to you, we could talk all day. england's prospects? if they can be germany, they will win the world cup. wow! on penalties, wouldn't that be fantastic? on penalties! great thought. don't imagine penalties, it sets my heart racing. i have to concentrate, because this is where we say goodbye to chris. he is where we say goodbye to chris. he is going to read the news on andrew marvell stop now let's get the weather. a great —— grey outlook, this is a

8:52 am
celsius. most falling short of that, noticeably so. the wind gets stronger tonight. it will start to blow away, the cloud and patchy rain. by the second half of the night you will notice the land appearing. clearing skies. still quite breezy, allowing temperatures not to fall too far. maybe some spot in northern scotland into single figures. parts of south—east england could be 15 or 16 degrees as monday begins. a fairly promising start for monday morning. plenty of dry and sunny weather around first thing. don't bank on it staying all day long. wales, western england, the cloud will increase and we will start to see dressel coming through, particularly north—west england. notice that moving into northern ireland and then into the western side of scotland, where there are heavy bursts, particularly into the hills. northern scotland could see gusts around 50 mph. a north—west and south—east split. 12 or 13
8:53 am
degrees in stornoway. for south—east england, parts of the midlands and east anglia there will be warm and sunny spells coming through. warmer compared to today. that north—west and south—east split continues to tuesday and wednesday. the more north will north—west you are, cloud, rain, some breeze. further south—east, very little, if any rain. some sunny spells and warmth to be had. we are going to even out the differences later in the week as pressure builds across the uk and it settles down for all of us for a time. it has been lovely to talk to you. thank you very much indeed. it's thought engineers will be allowed into the glasgow school of art later, to assess how much of it can be saved. the world—famous mackintosh building had been coming to the end of a multi—million pound renovation project, when it caught fire on friday night. let's speak now to stuart robertson, who's the director of the charles renne mackintosh society. good morning. so desperately sad to
8:54 am
see that image behind you. we have been talking this morning about the severity of the damage. what is the latest you have heard about whether or not the building can be saved?” think we are still waiting to hear. i think the actual fire brigade have not completed their investigation and there will have to look at the structural survey of the building. we are very much in the early stages. how important is this building? i think it is of world importance. it is a unique building, and macintosh encompasses so much, it has very much been his masterpiece building, he uses nature in various forms and users tradition. and looking forward, the time, it was very much a
8:55 am
forward—looking building. he was viewed very much as touching on to modernism with the traditions. viewed around the world as a major building a fantastic article. while we are talking, we are looking at pictures of inside the building, obviously filmed before this second fire. it is staggeringly beautiful. it is beautiful. i think the thing about the mackintosh buildings is that they have a personality. you can see that with the emotions that have poured out for this building, and four years ago when we have the first fire. the building has very much a place in the heart of people in glasgow, and round the world. it is very much... you can see the ripple effect it has caused with this travesty that has happened to the building. the timing of this could not be worse. i can see from the barge on your lapel that this is supposed to be the year you are celebrating the 150th anniversary?
8:56 am
—— badge. celebrating the 150th anniversary? -- badge. yes, we were celebrating mackintosh‘s150th birthday, we have the opening of the tea rooms, we we re the opening of the tea rooms, we were looking forward to the hillhouse restoration, we were looking forward to next year with the restoration being complete on the restoration being complete on the school of art. this is just such a body blow after the fantastic celebrations we had last week.” think a lot of people will be familiar with the particular style of mackintosh, but what more can you tell us about him? we didn't necessarily see him having the happiest life? any artist head of his time, he had four or five very strong patrons, maybe it was an u nfortu nate strong patrons, maybe it was an unfortunate time, leading up to the war. his designs, howie —— how he
8:57 am
encompassed various things, he transcended arts and crafts and art deco, he was very much ahead of that. he was very much a leader and he is getting that recognition. you have to be in the buildings to appreciate that. very briefly, this building will not be the same again, will it? well, it can't be the same again. but i hope it can be restored. i think there is enough information from all of the work that has been done, the restoration, the internet aspects of the digital filming of the building, there is enough information to recreate the building. thank you very much indeed, from the charles rennie mackintosh society. that's all from us for today. charlie and louise will be back tomorrow from six. enjoy the rest of your weekend. this is bbc news. the headlines at 9:00. an extra £20 billion a year in real terms for the nhs, theresa may says it's funded in part by brexit, and hints at tax increases.
