9:30 am
drier where it has been wet, a little bit cooler where we start the week very warm. this is bbc news, our latest headlines... an extra £20 billion a year in real terms for the nhs is announced by theresa may. the prime minister says it's funded in part by brexit — and hints at tax increases. 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. there are calls for a change in the law after a boy with severe epilepsy was allowed to be treated with an illegal form of cannabis oil. the home secretary acted after billy caldwell was admitted to hospital with extreme seizures. the first of hundreds of migrants who've been the focus of a european dispute over immigration arrive in spain more than a week after being rescued. their plight has sparked a row between european union member states over who should accept them. firefighters have spent another night at the scene of a huge blaze at the glasgow school of art. it's the second fire
9:31 am
there in four years. nearby buildings, including a nightclub and a music venue, have also been damaged. coming up in a few minutes our sunday morning edition of the papers — this mornings reviewers are david wooding from the sun on sunday and peter conradi from the sunday times. before the papers — sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jon watson. good morning. 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 after gareth southgate opted to notify which players will be starting. england have been training this morning — all 23 players present again — and then they set off on a trip of about a thousand miles to volgograd this afternoon. southgate said he'd told the players who'd be starting to settle nerves, with such a long lead up to their opening group game. there were one or two positions still if up for grabs, certainly in defence where harry maguire
9:32 am
there's no doubt about it. we are going to the game trying to get three points, we won't go there and be happy to come away with a draw. we want the three points. it is massive. the first game in any group stage is — being tournament football, you can't lose the first game. england will be looking for a hero tomorrow. iceland found theirs in the shape of their part time movie director goalkeeper who saved a penalty from lionel messi as iceland drew 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.
9:33 am
but as england among others have discovered, it doesn't pay to underestimate iceland. alfred finnbogason scores iceland's most famous goal! it's their first ever at the world cup! this looked like argentina's lifeline. 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
9:34 am
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, 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. and here's what's coming up today. first it's costa rica
9:35 am
against serbia then the holders germany face mexico at four, that's on bbc one. and then this evening, brazil take on switzerland. nothing's going right for england's rugby union side at the moment, they're 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—21 win in melbourne — that's the first time they've beaten the wallabies on their own turf since 1979. wales are undefeated 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
9:36 am
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. not a great day all round for australia yesterday, we've heard they lost in the rugby and in the football. well they were beaten by england in the cricket too. england with their highest one—day score against their opponents thanks to a hundred from jason roy. and the aussies chances ended when shaun marsh was bowled for 131 — england are 2—0 up in the series. 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. 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 in new york state — but it's phil mickelson that
9:37 am
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 didn't withdraw, contrary to that caption — but several former players said he should've been disqualified. that's all the sport for now. plenty more to come through the day. now the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are david wooding, political editor at the sun on sunday, and peter conradi, who's foreign editor
9:38 am
at the sunday times. let's take a look at the front pages. the observer pictures the mackintosh building in glasgow destroyed by fire late on friday night, the paper leads on details of a £20 billion injection of extra cash for the nhs. the mail on sunday also leads with the announcement claiming the timing comes as mrs may faces "intense pressure" on her leadership ahead of the eu withdrawal bill debate on wednesday. the sunday express says theresa may's nhs announcement will be accompanied by a crackdown on waste and inefficiency in a bid to ensure all the extra money is well spent. the sunday telegraph says the additional £384 million per week into the nhs after brexit exceeds the amount mooted by the official leave campaign. and the sunday times pictures 12—year—old billy caldwell being fed cannabis oil by his mother after the home office issued an emergency licence allowing him
9:39 am
to have the medicine, the paper leads on its own investigation into uk crime figures claiming fewer than 5% of street robberies and burglaries are being solved. that is a flavour of the front pages. so most papers leading on theresa may's announcement for a big funding boost for the national health service. what do you make of the coverage from the mail on sunday? this was an announcement made late last night that the prime minister is at last going to give the nhs that his 70th birthday present that she has been promising for so long, raising the funding by £20 billion a year. with a quick flick of the calculator, thatis a quick flick of the calculator, that is £384 million a week, more than the £350 million promised on that bus. that is a big, stable, long—term plan for the nhs. the
9:40 am
funding over five years, long—term plan for the nhs. the funding overfive years, and long—term plan for the nhs. the funding over five years, and we will hear more from the prime minister tomorrow, a 10—year plan for the nhs on how it will be reformed. interesting use of the word gamble in the headline? yes... is it a gamble? the question is how they are going to fund it. the brexit bonus, i think one has to take that with a pinch of salt. how much of a brexit bonus will it be? will there be one at all? you said that on one side. even the government has admitted the money they will save from not having to pay contributions to the eu is only going to be part of it. they have to fund at least half of it through other means. that basically means more borrowing or taxation. there is a suggestion it will be the equivalent of another 3p on income tax, which is a huge amount. if the government would just come out and announce that, it would be a huge story. interesting in the context of what the mail on sunday and other
9:41 am
papers are saying, she is betting that the public will accept tax hikes for better care. that the public is ready to pay more? that is the gamble. whether the public, they a lwa ys the gamble. whether the public, they always say in all polls that they are willing to pay more money for the nhs, when push comes to shove, will they be prepared to dig deep to find a little extra to fund it? the other thing is that some people might say, hang on, we were told during the referendum that the money would come out of the brexit dividend. why are we now having to be taxed as well? we are already being taxed on a pint in the pub, soft drinks, wages are not going up much. it will be interesting to see how that happens. also, she has to do something about public services. labour are ahead do something about public services. labourare ahead in do something about public services. labour are ahead in the polls when it comes to promises to invest in public services. at the next election, it will be a battle ground. this signals the end of
9:42 am
austerity. it is the gamble, will people pay more in order to invest in those public services where they need to make ground? and observation on the end of austerity suggestion? yes, that really is what is happening. we had austerity for a long time, there was certainly a feeling from the government that things have got to change. the mood of voters has changed. it would be quite difficult for labour to oppose another 3p to fund the nhs. if vote rs another 3p to fund the nhs. if voters do not like it, they haven't really got anywhere else to go. if you say you are going to spend more than this, presumably you have to put more than 3p on and that is taking it even further into that territory? the people trying to stifle brexit are going to say, are you going to take away money from the nhs? let's go onto another story. let's go to the front of the
9:43 am
observer, an extraordinary photograph from above the fire in glasgow? this story was running all day yesterday, the glasgow school of art, that has caught fire, it has been gutted for the second time. the second time in four years? absolutely shocking. i think what one does not find, and everybody has to go to the sunday times to find it, ifi to go to the sunday times to find it, if i dare say so, is to look at what the problem was. the problem four years ago was that some gas was ignited from expanding foam. the problem this time around is that the sprinklers were installed in the building, but they had not, for some reason, got round to delivering water pumps to feed the sprinklers. we don't know what caused the blaze this time, but we sort of do know what stopped it being put out very quickly, the fact that the sprinklers were not functioning. i don't want to pre—empt any kind of inquiry, but it seems like quite a
9:44 am
crucial factor. possibly this time it is beyond repair? it is very sad, looking at the film on the tv last night, even that burning shell, it looks quite a beautiful building. the problem is, it had 35 million thrown at it on the restoration last time, can they afford to rebuild it ain? time, can they afford to rebuild it again? the roof has gone, the interior, it isjust again? the roof has gone, the interior, it is just a shell. very difficult to see how they can find the cash to rebuild it. a big debate on medicinal cannabis at the moment, in the light of little billy caldwell. the sunday telegraph picking up on this. the government to review medical cannabis after the javid ruling. that has been a temporary development, but it opens up temporary development, but it opens up all manner of other questions?m has captured the public imagination over the last few days, the plight of this poor 12—year—old billy.
9:45 am
credit to the home secretary, who has acted very quickly to say, in a one—off circumstance, he will do what he thinks is right for this trial. he has made a decision. i quite like to see a politician make a swift decision, good on him. the telegraph seem to be speculating a little bit further that there will now be a review into medicinal cannabis to see if it can be used more frequently. again, that is quite a debate. we know that this government and sajid javid himself are quite tough on the use of drugs. again, if there was some kind of control for it to be used medicinally, i think most people would back that. take us into the speculation, it is bound to be debated more widely? yes, but if you think how widespread cannabis use is in britain anyway, one only needs to walk down any street and breathe in to know that... maybe i am thinking about my part of south london? in a
9:46 am
sense, it seems a slightly bizarre debate. there are plenty of countries where medicinal cannabis is very widely used, a fully accepted part of the system. i don't think i'm wrong, i think it used to be used in britain as well. it is only a relatively recent rule change. one wonders, really, it seems absurd that it is not allowed. we are talking about ii2—year—old and one change relating to his plight, which i think only lasts for 20 days. —— talking about one 12—year—old. it will be interesting to see what happens as a result. this is a bbc story, how extraordinary that the bbc should appear on the front of the sunday papers. conceding defeat in the battle for radio audiences, apparently? a shocking story. apparently, the bbc is accepting that some listeners will be turning away from its output and listening
9:47 am
instead to commercial radio stations, a number of which are available. the bbc is sort of accepting this and thinking, rather than trying to fight the people going to lbc, talk sport, the various other ones, they should concentrate on the threat to its future from spotify and podcasts. i'm not sure how it deals with the threat from musical spotify and podcasts, but it appears to be a strategy that the director of radio has set out. interesting quote from him. i don't care about share, the share of the audience, we care about the future of british audio. that word, audio, is interesting. not radio, but audio? also, the fact he does not care about the share is the right attitude forcibly running the bbc. the bbc, to me, has always been
9:48 am
about quality, good public service broadcasting. not about chasing ratings. in fact, broadcasting. not about chasing ratings. infact, none broadcasting. not about chasing ratings. in fact, none of us can chase ratings these days. people have suddenly different ways of accessing information. the mobile phone has changed all of our lives. you see people on trains reading newspapers or websites, instead of holding a newspaper. you see them watching videos, tv, listening to music. so many different ways of accessing media. we all must accept accessing media. we all must accept a smaller share of the audience. only quality journalism and broadcasting will survive. the problem is that if the share falls so problem is that if the share falls so low, how can you continue to justify charging everybody a fee for accessing something that only a certain number will have, in this case, listen to? you can indeed. if one were being really cynical, if your share is falling there is not much you can do about it, it's a good thing to come out and say it is not about the share any more. a very
9:49 am
cynical view! the sunday times, time to spend a little bit on this one. interesting. it is your paper, peter. and 5% of all burglaries and robberies are solved, new shock figures reveal failure of the police? and interesting piece of work that my colleagues at the sunday times have done, drawing heavily on data journalism, the new buzzword in newspapers, where you crunch the numbers and you get stories out of them. this investigation has shown, for example, that just 4% investigation has shown, for example, thatjust 4% of robberies we re example, thatjust 4% of robberies were solved in england and wales last year, down from 9% in 2013. the burglary detection rate fell from 6%, down to 3%. most staggering of all, in more than a thousand neighbourhoods with at least 30 crimes, the police failed to catch and punish any of the suspects, which is quite extraordinary. they obviously go, as ever, for a reaction from the met police,
9:50 am
wonderfully they say that solving crime is a key priority for the met. which is comforting! it makes quite alarming reading. are they making a direct link, is evidence to allow them, to make a link between the numbers of police officers across the board and the amount of crime being solved? i think there is... it does make the point that bobbies on the beat, that argument, when you ta ke the beat, that argument, when you take them away crime goes up. that is particularly the case with burglaries, i think. is particularly the case with burglaries, ithink. there is particularly the case with burglaries, i think. there is a figure, a case in essex, but it had huge numbers on foot patrols, and they have one of the best detection rates, 26%, four or five they have one of the best detection rates, 26%, four orfive times more than the average. i think it is the story in this. it is not necessarily a question of overall funding, but it is also how that money is divvied
9:51 am
up. people on foot, patrolling, rather than whizzing around in police cars. the question raised about bobbies on the beat, it probably makes us feel better, but does it mean that more crime is solved? people who ask for more officers on the beat talk about the intelligence they get, particularly talking to shopkeepers and so forth. there is the deterrent. policing has changed a lot. things are done by other intelligence, motor cars, online, all other different ways. on the beat, you meet more people come here —— and your hearing more. you see a lot of police in london because of the terrorism threat, they are there to reassure people. that is different from in residential areas, where they get to know the local troublemakers. if
9:52 am
there is a burglary, who might have done it, or who there is a burglary, who might have done it, orwho to there is a burglary, who might have done it, or who to ask about it. moving things on my desk to enable you and others to see the inside pages of your paper. you can see, it would help if i moved that, you can see sajid javid, who has been interviewed by your good self. this is with reference to his role at the home office. i've interesting observation about his own personal safety? his first interview for home secretary, a job he got several weeks ago. one of the big issues is crime, knife crime in particular, and these moped crimes, where people drive onto the pavement, smash your handbag or phone. one of the questions i asked, have you been a victim of crime yourself? you revealed, quite shockingly, that he had recently been the victim of a moped theft. he was coming out of euston railway station in london, he
9:53 am
picked up his mobile phone to make a call for a taxi. before he knew it, a moped had sped onto the pavement, snatched the phone from his hand, and vanished. he said he felt angry and vanished. he said he felt angry and upset. luckily, like some other people, he was not stabbed or beaten, or hurt in the mugging. lot has been made about his appointment, the sense is good to be appointment, the sense is good to be a different kind of home secretary, do you sense that? well, david will probably know better than me, but certainly the feeling is very different. just by virtue of his background, his ethnic background, his social background, where he has come from socially, it makes a very different. david ? come from socially, it makes a very different. david? he was brought up ina different. david? he was brought up in a street in bristol, called britain's most dangerous street. as a young lad he had his bike stolen. his brother, now chief superintendent in the west midlands
9:54 am
force, he actually retrieved it for him. he says he knows, because of where he comes from, that he feels he can relate to what ordinary people suffer. quite a contrast with amber rudd? absolutely. he has inherited, in the wake of windrush, immigration and crime, a big job. there we must leave it. that is it from the papers today. you can see the front pages online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you david and peter. hello. sunglasses wouldn't have been the best gift for this father's day, because there's a lot of cloud around. just some glimmers of sunshine, particularly across the eastern side of the uk today. there's a bit of rain to be had, too. some of us have seen some rain
9:55 am
so far today, and will again through the afternoon. the bulk of it will be across the western side of the uk, but you could see a light shower possible just about anywhere you are. a lot of cloud coming in from the south—west at the moment. that is nibbling away at any of that early sunshine across eastern parts of scotland and north east england. still, i think, a few breaks in the cloud to be had here to the course of the afternoon. let's take a look at the picture across the rest of the day. many eastern parts, with the exception of seeing a few light showers for the afternoon, will stay dry. in the west, it's not going to be raining all the time. there's always a chance, with thick cloud, that you encounter some light rain or drizzle in wales, western england, northern ireland, into western scotland. could see some heavy bursts, particularly into hills. a breezy day, south—westerly wind. a rather cool day as well, particularly where you have the cloud and rain. any sunny spells across eastern parts, you could see temperatures reaching close to 20 celsius. the wind picks up a bit further through the night and into tomorrow. overnight it will blow away
9:56 am
the cloud and light rain, and clearing skies the second half of the night. with the breeze, temperatures are not going down too far, maybe just dipping into single figures in the far north of scotland, but parts of south—east england will hold at around 15 or 16 degrees. a lot of fine weather to start monday, some sunshine around. quite a windy day to come, especially in northern scotland with some gusts around 50 mph or so. cloud will increase again in the west, could encounter some drizzle, part of south—west england, wales. outbreaks of rain for parts of north—west england, to northern ireland and western scotland, eventually here there will be some heavy bursts to be had. much of eastern scotland, for much of the day, staying dry for central and eastern parts of england, too. quite a range of temperatures. 13 degrees in stornoway, 24—25 in warm spots in south—east england. a north—west and south—east split, then, for the start of the week. rainfall to the north—west at times, warm sunshine in the south—east. later in the week, though, it looks like high pressure will build across the uk and settle things down.
9:57 am
drier where it has been wet, a little bit cooler where we start the week very warm. this is bbc news. i'm julian worricker. the headlines at 10:00. 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. we're making the nhs our priority. we're putting this significant amount of extra money into it, we need to make sure that money is spent wisely. calls for a change in the law after the home office allows a boy with severe epilepsy to be treated with an illegal form of cannabis oil. the first of hundreds of migrants who've been the focus of a european dispute over immigration arrive in spain more than a week after being rescued. and this is the scene live as the aquarius, the ship that rescued the migrants off the coast of libya, has in the last few minutes docked in valencia. also, world cup holders germany start their defence, as they take on mexico.
