6:03 am
expected to night and as always, they found creative ways of getting here. jamie and mitch battled tiredness and sunburn to cycle 100 miles a day from england to volgograd, raising money for the bobby moore fund. no training, just literally a case of getting on the bike and heading east until we got to russia. we have proven you got —— you're not got to be superman to do it. it is striking, this new volgograd arena, but the city itself has historical significance. british police have warned fans of being mindful of cultural sensitivity. so far, so good. it is encouraging, let's see how it goes. everything is stacking up, the test is for the tea m stacking up, the test is for the team over the next couple of days when the tournament starts for england and its fans of. england expects, tunisia awaits. the bbc‘s moscow correspondent sarah rainsford is in volgograd. morning to you. that extraordinary
6:04 am
location you are into night, those blue skies and also doubt the anticipation. —— about. a fantastic day for the match and a glorious location right in neath mother russia, the symbol of this city. and a war memorial gym what used to be stalingrad. the mood here on amongst fans, they have been trickling in slowly and keeping a low profile until now. i didn't see many england shirts at all, certainly no singing and dancing in the streets of. but they are arriving by train, plane and bicycle and by bus, as these two young england fans that we found here at the warm or earlier this morning, have done the. you have a pretty long journey from moscow, why did you want to be here? to watch england. isa you want to be here? to watch england. is a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity to see our home nation
6:05 am
play in a world cup. how have you found the atmosphere so far? quite nice, actually. it is early morning raid now so it is not as heck it as it will be later. looking forward to the game? yes. these two have their england shirts on. people promising that as they found russia, generally in volgograd in particular, a lot more welcoming than they led to expect. they said they will be wearing the england shirts today and are looking forward to the match and stadium isjust are looking forward to the match and stadium is just over there on the banks of the river. we'll be looking ahead to that match throughout today's programme, including a chat with the former england midfielder frank lampard in moscowjust after eight o'clock. theresa may will give more details on her promised £20 billion cash boost for the nhs in england today, as she comes under increasing pressure to explain where the money will come from. the prime minister has also asked the health service to produce a 10 year plan on how it will spend the cash, including measures to reduce waste and bureaucracy. here's our health and science correspondent james gallagher. the nhs has been part of british
6:06 am
life for nearly 70 years, but it is feeling the pressure. patients are waiting longer to be seen in a&e or to get cancer treatment. but now more money has been found: an extra £20 billion a year by the financial year starting in 2023. so where is that cash coming from? that will be through the brexit dividend, the fact that we are no longer sending vast amounts of money every year to the eu once we leave the eu, and we as a country will be contributing a bit more. those last few words could affect your paycheque. the idea that there is a brexit dividend is pure fiction. it's a pure matter of arithmetic. there will be no extra money in four years' time because of the financial arrangement we've come to with the european union. labour says it would put even more money into the nhs while the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said the government was relying on a magic money forest.
6:07 am
patients are not going to see their credit be improved overnight. —— their care radically improved. some critics are even arguing this financial boost is still not enough. the prime minister wants the nhs in england to produce a new ten—year plan which would include cutting waste and boosting mental health services. the announcement will also mean more money for devolved governments in scotland, wales and northern ireland. james gallagher, bbc news. in just over an hour we'll speak to the health secretary, jeremy hunt, about funding the nhs. that's at ten past seven. the uk economy could face its weakest year since the global financial crisis, according to a leading business lobby. the british chambers of commerce has revised down its forecast for gdp growth for 2018 to 1.3% from 1.4%. they have blamed the downgrade on the current outlook for consumer spending, business investment and trade. a leading conservative party mp has
6:08 am
said the government could collapse if his fellow rebels get a vote on the brexit deal and decide to vote against. dominic grieve made the threat as the eu withdrawal bill returns to the lords and commons this week, with more rebellions expected. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminsterfor us. it seems like we see this every week, this is an important week, tell us why. it is, honest. there is a big row going on still at westminster about the eu withdrawal deal, which deals with how exactly and when the uk will leave the eu. 0ne and when the uk will leave the eu. one particular part of it which has proved very contentious, that is how much of the state parliament will haveif much of the state parliament will have if the government cannot reach a deal with european negotiators in brussels. there are a group of conservative mps who want parliament to have a proper sake in that
6:09 am
scenario and they have tried to amend the bill so that that is the case. adil watson —— a deal wasn't reached with the government last week, it is back in the house of lords today, another amendment is being voted on the. faq it's true, it will be back in the house of commons on wednesday and the prime minister were once again be finding herself to keep both those for brexit and those who want to keep close ties for the eu, happy. sooner 01’ close ties for the eu, happy. sooner or later, someone will have to give. cash is no longer king. for the first time, debit card payments have taken over as the main way we pay. last year there were 100 million more transactions on card than with physical money. the banking industry say the popularity of contactless, online shopping and smart phones is driving the growth. gaming addiction has for the first time been officially recognised as a mental health condition by the world health organisation. it has included "gaming disorder"
6:10 am
in the latest edition of its international classification of diseases. the gaming industry disputes the evidence behind the decision, describing it as inconclusive. the royal college of psychiatrists says while there is no epidemic, for a small number it can become a problem when online friendships become stronger than real ones. that's a crucial moment when the gamer begins to, in a way, overvalue the online activity. soon after, families begin to notice an absence and an emotional disconnect with the rest of the activities that were once so rest of the activities that were once so enjoyable. three people are reported to have died after a strong earthquake hit the japanese city of osaka this morning. 0ne one of those who died was a nine—year—old girl who died when she

6:20 am
harry savour. what can i say? -- saved her. talking about moving away from plastic straws to paper. that is expected to create a fewjobs in the uk as we do not make paper straws here at the moment. a couple of businesses got together and will open a dedicated paper straw production line in wales. it will create 200 jobs. that is quite good. another story. jon lewis is saying they will launch a campaign where you can take back old clothing that you can take back old clothing that you bought from there. skirts, tops, bras, even, even if they are ripped. they will buy them back on the past. brilliant. how will they know? it has to be their brand of clothing.
6:21 am
that is a good point. interesting. it does not mention that. perhaps you need to have a receipt. everyone gives their receipts from 20 years ago! i will keep reading. carry on. this is on bbc one, seven o'clock, harry kane, many pictures of him in the papers. not the sort of person you imagine really enjoys posing like that. one of the papers has imposing like this. bring it on. —— him posing. he is playing the game. they are all engaged with the media and the press over there. the only thing he is bothered about, along with the players, is the result on the pitch. he is saying bring it ron, like ronaldo. wouldn't that be
6:22 am
fantastic? the times. the back page lead. it is about germany. champions, germany, beaten yesterday. the world cup so far, will you agree, hasn't it been brilliant? just in the first few days. spain and portugal. the underdog beating players, teams, expected to win. so far, it has been great. we do not want that to continue tonight with underdog is not expected to win winning? are england the favourites? england is the underdog in the tournament. not in the match. they are expected to win and are happy with that and will go with it. coverage starts at 615. i checked with it. they will chat for three quarters of an hour about it first. cameras i live at the
6:23 am
scene. will have a look around there. when vikki mitchell put her newborn baby, kia, to bed with a high temperature, she did not imagine the nightmare nine months that would follow. kia had actually contracted meningitis c before she was old enough to have the vaccine. she had to have all her limbs amputated, and has only just returned home. doctors were amazed she survived at all. kia's parents now want the vaccination age to be re—considered. breakfast‘s john maguire went to meet them. look at that. nine months ago, kia's mother noticed her baby girl was unwell. she had a few things that looks like ruses. they looked like blue bruises. if you look the way and looked back, there were more. that is how quick they were appearing. she had contracted
6:24 am
meningitis c. the blood poisoning meant she lost all four of her limbs and doctors believe the sight. they had never dealt with that. until two yea rs had never dealt with that. until two years ago, babies were immunised against meningitis c at three months old. but now the vaccine is given at around a year when the immune system has developed, and once again in adolescence. but she was eight months old when she fell ill. we need 10,000 signatures, we took that to parliament. she will never be able to sign her own signature. we need people to listen to what we are trying to say. meningitis c is very rare now. that is why an independent committee advised that the dose at three months old was stopped. 20 yea rs three months old was stopped. 20 years ago, 99 babies in england aged
6:25 am
up years ago, 99 babies in england aged up to one—year—old contracted meningitis c. by 2016, there were just four cases, and some years, none at all. this doctor is a children's intensive care consultant. he says immunity has spread across the population. the meningitis c vaccine given from eight weeks may also help. the decision was purely based on it is cheaper to take the vaccine out of the infant schedule. it is also based on that infants should be protected by some meningitis c vaccine is. it is crowded. it is not uncommon for parents to get rabies immunised and it comes away with four or five injections at the same sitting. —— babies. the risk of having too many vaccines means many will not get their children vaccinated. public of england says the immunisation committee keeps it
6:26 am
under review. but they continued theircampaign under review. but they continued their campaign for the vaccine to be read rated at three months. ahead, they know life will be tough —— reinstated. but they are thankful that kia is still with them. thank you to her family for talking to us. if you've got any questions about meningitis c or the vaccine, we're going to be speaking to a gp in an hour. you can email us at bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk or get in touch on facebook or twitter. it is time to get the news, travel, and weather, wherever you are waking up and weather, wherever you are waking up this morning. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. visitors heading to royal ascot today could well experience something completely new as part of their experience. as they could be breathalysed as they enter through the turnstiles. the venue has rolled out a series of measures across the enclosures designed to curb "overzealous" behaviour in recent months. sniffer dogs will also be in place and drugs amnesty boxes will be placed outside the racecourse. police have released images of two

presenter, who will leave the show at the end of the year, said it was the right moment to lead. he has chaired the show since 1994 and insisted in a statement that he is not giving up broadcasting, but planned to return to what he called his first love, reporting. those are the main stories. i think you are like this one. the predictions. is it a psychic animal? funny that. you may remember paul the octopus, who predicted the outcome of games at the 2010 world cup? well this year a sausage dog has taken up the challenge. this is r2d2, and before each match he's presented with a two plates of food — classic dishes from both nations playing. whichever he eats determines the result. what would you choose? the good news is r2d2 chose a double helping of roast beef —
6:35 am
turning his nose up at the couscous — predicting a win for england against tunisia tonight! could be safely go that? look at the year 's! “ ears. isn't itjust telling us isn't it just telling us what to do the likes? he has only got one result wrong so far. were not terribly convinced by that.|j result wrong so far. were not terribly convinced by that. i am still feeling quite optimistic about tonight. —— we are not. still feeling quite optimistic about tonight. -- we are not. are we talking scores? go on. 3-1, to england. i talking scores? go on. 3-1, to england. lam talking scores? go on. 3-1, to england. i am saying that because everybody is playing positively. this is a world cup of positive that all and has been exciting to watch. five days into the world cup and england finally get going against tunisia tonight. and this man will be captaining his country in a major tournament for the first time. spurs striker harry kane, scorer of 46 goals last season, including five for england. but he'll be leading a young squad, without too much in the way of international experience. well, the squad arrived
6:36 am
in voldograd yesterday. they didn't train on the pitch, but gareth southgate and harry kane had a walk around the voldograd arena. kane is an ambitious man, and has his eye on the golden boot trophy, but he'll have plenty of competition, mainly from cristiano ronaldo who scored that brilliant hat—trick on friday. he has put me under a little bit of pressure, for sure. but no, obviously he is a fantastic player and had a fantastic game. as always to me, it is about concentrating on myself and the team. so hopefully i can score a hat—trick tomorrow and we will both the level. it is not something i will think about too much until hopefully towards the end of the tournament. the venue for tonight's match
6:37 am
is volgograd, a thousand—mile trek from the england base camp — and even further for the thousands of fans who have travelled to roar them on. sarah rainsford has been to meet a few of them, and discover what sort of welcome they've received. it is a long, slowjourney by rail from moscow to volgegrad. more than 20 hours, but this is one of the trains that is bringing england fans for the match. it is a pretty exhausting journey? just a bit. it is nice, made some friends, made friends with a nice russian lady. here she is. how did they behave? very well. well—behaved and low—profile, that seems to be order of the day for england here, after the violent clashes with russian supporters in france two years ago. a lot of people were scared about coming. as you can see, i have not got my england shirt on like the other guys who are brave enough, i should have because people on train were receptive and welcoming and try to talk to you. it is not true what has been reported back home so far. tunisian fans certainly
6:38 am
don't seem worried. there were a few england shirts on show up at mother russia. the war memorial that towers over this city. and over the venue for england's opening game. i think it is all going to be goodhearted this time. i was in marseille with all the trouble, still keep coming. and by evening, more fans started to relax, with local police keeping watch. tucked away in a pub in a park is hardly the usual scene or sound ahead of an england match. i love it, the people who have made that journey. they were saying 2000 or so england fans? is a long way it to travel. the shock of the tournament so far. world champions germany beaten 1—0 by mexico in moscow. hirving lozano with the goal for mexico, who were brilliant. there were tears at the final whistle too, it all got a bit too much for west ham's javier hernandez
6:39 am
at the final whistle. well that mexico goal caused such a celebration in central america that it caused an earth tremor. and the mexican rave even spread to germany. these are pictures from the main fan park in berlin. guess where the mexico fans are? right in the middle of that crowd of german foot all fans. i love that! everybody else being quiet. —— football. another of the favourites — brazil — also had a stuttering start to their campaign. everything looked rosy for the five time champions when the former liverpool forward phillipe coutinho smashed in this stunning first half opener against switzerland. but then it all went a bit wrong for them, as steven zuber equalised. it's the first time that brazil have failed to win their opening match since 1978. tommy fleetwood matched the lowest round in us open history,
6:40 am
but could only finish second behind defending champion brooks koepka. the englishman became only the sixth player to shoot a final round of 63. yet if this had gone in, he might have forced a play—off. because koepka tapped in to win by one stroke, which makes the american the first to retain the us open title for 19 years. johanna konta lost the final of the nottingham 0pen for the second year in a row. the british number one was beaten by australia's ashleigh barty in three sets, but she also lost her temper. this was in the ninth game of the final, deciding, set. konta got annoyed because a barty shot wasn't called long. the puff might have been chalk, but could have been dust beyond the baseline — and it led to this outburst. this is a joke! it's an absolute
6:41 am
joke. no, you listen to me. we are out here busting, literally busting out here busting, literally busting out shot like no other and you are there and you are making decisions that affect our lives, do you understand that? fully understand that? issue didn't understand it before, she understands it now. there is something uncomfortable about that awful moment when the athlete is under that pressure. it is uncomfortable to what. heat of the moment. —— watch. uncomfortable to what. heat of the moment. -- watch. shouldn't lose your temper. trent alexander arnold only left school last year. your temper. trent alexander arnold only left school last yearlj your temper. trent alexander arnold only left school last year. i think he is 19. extraordinary. as cool as you like. graham satchell is at his old school now.

6:44 am
relationships. it is funny because the boys who played for liverpool come from all over the country and you have become almost like a surrogate mother for some of them would you say? we prefer aunty. absolutely, we forge a really good bond with both students and parents or guardians because it is, it is a very intense process here and a lot of pressure on their young shoulders. if he placed tonight, how do you think he will cope with it?|j think you will be spectacular, he will be mature like he was in school. he will do really well. feeling positive? feeling positive. thank you very much a. there are reasons to be positive because they are under 17 world champions, and 21 world champions at. the current world champions at. the current world holders germany lost yesterday, brazil drew, anything is possible and we are all fingers crossed. in the next hour will be talking students here but that is it

6:49 am
they're worried about the economy but one business network thinks it could be the worst year for growth in almost a decade. the british chambers of commerce, which is made up of organiations representing tens of thousands of businesses, thinks this year will be the worst since 2009. chris fletcher is from one of the organisations, the greater manchester chamber of commerce, and joins me now. he is part of the bcc. what do you mean when you talk about growth? gdp is one of the terms we use. what does it mean? very simple. there are a number of measures, what businesses are investing in, what they are spending, imports, exports. you take that and work out if it is
6:50 am
more or less than previously. is more, growth. many things go into it. these figures show there is still growth. but it is getting a bit lacklustre. we have seen major things happening in the economy around business investment and even consumer spending. a big part of what makes that basket of indicators move. we are seeing things slowing down a little bit, especially in the past few months. that is why we are saying there will be growth, but not as strong as it should be or as it could be. what is slowing it? business investment is slowing. there is a lot of hesitation. the members i speak to are saying things are ok, but we are not sure what could be going on in six months, 12 months. for that reason, they are not making investment decisions, or putting them off until things are
6:51 am
more clear. we are also seeing a fixation, quite rightly, by government, on things like brexit. a lot of resources are spent on just getting us through that process. the danger we are seeing is the government is taking its eye off the ball when it comes to the domestic economy. we need to re— shift that focused. if businesses are saying we are holding off investment for now, will grow to be fine in a few years and it is just because we are in this period? —— growth. you cannot ignore it. things are not improving. if things do not get back on track, the figure could decrease over the next few quarters. we are predicting it will get back on track. there is an issue right now at the present
6:52 am
moment in time. if it is not sorted out and the government does not pay attention to it and businesses do not get the confidence to start spending, along with consumers, things could begin to get a little bit worse. thank you very much. that is it for me for now. thank you. experts have warned that the glasgow school of art may have to be demolished following a fire that started on friday night. the world—renowned mackintosh building has been gutted by the blaze, the second in four years. it had been undergoing a multi—million—pound restoration project to return it to its former glory. let's discuss this now with miles glendinning, who is a professor of architectural conservation and joins us from our edinburgh studio. good morning. thank you forjoining us. good morning. thank you forjoining us. we are really upset by what is happening. how important is this building? it is architect lay very
6:53 am
important. —— important in terms of architecture. it is also important for glaswegian feeling of self. i think it is vital that in some ways, people want it back. these arguments... we need a bolder and modern building, that is what they wanted. disneyland to build a copy. these are unworldly. people want it back. how could it be done? in this case, there are many ways to do it. in this case, the only feasible approach is a facsimile of things lost. that is possible because a very exact digital model has been
6:54 am
made far sightedly by the school of art. it can be done. external walls survived. wartime experience from germany, with thousands of buildings gutted by fire, sometimes many times over, it shows that can be put right. the worst case may be that there might have to be a controlled dismantling of the walls, any unsafe bits of the walls are at it might not be necessary. the german experience suggests buildings can look worse than a us. at the very least, we are starting with a... if this is like reassembling a jigsaw puzzle, we already have the jigsaw puzzle, we already have the jigsaw puzzle, and the picture of it, a detailed picture of it, with a fantastic digital model that exists.
6:55 am
we are looking at the pictures of the fire. they are just extraordinary pictures in many ways. you talk about this facsimile. details are there, but presumably, it will cost a lot of money. that is what the discussion should be about. it is not about whether it can be done, because it can. the information is there. not about whether it should be done. it is false to rebuild a facsimile... that is knocked on the head in 2014, and should be now. the issue is going to be about prioritising the finance. inevitably, this argument comes up. should we spend money on this and not council housing when it is dilapidated? is it right to spend money on trident and not this? that debate will continue. it might be a
6:56 am
gradualjob to look at the need of not blowing a lot of money right away to be there we go. good to talk to you. —— right away to bite thank you for your time this morning. —— thank you. it is time to get the news, travel, and weather wherever you are waking up this morning. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. visitors heading to royal ascot today could well experience something completely new as part of their day out, as they may be breathalysed as they enter through the turnstiles. the venue has rolled out a series of measures as part of their security review across the enclosures and general areas designed to curb overzealous behaviour. sniffer dogs will also be in place and drugs amnesty boxes will be outside the racecourse all this week. police have released images of two men wanted in connection with a "noxious substance" attack which left a man fighting for his life. detectives are keen to trace william deo and gavin 0kwu—brewis after in incident in ilford last week when a man in his 20s had what's believed to be ammonia thrown at him.

7:02 am
meets the motherland. in a city formerly known as stalingrad, england will attempt to win their opening world cup match for the first time since 2006. gareth southgate, though, believes his young side aren't affected by the past. this team is looking at things in a different way, trying to play in a different way. they have a hunger, they have a desire, we have better technical players that we have had in the past coming through our academies. so there is a real enthusiasm and they are looking forward to getting going. around 2,100 england fans are expected tonight and as always, they found creative ways of getting here. jamie and mitch battled tiredness and sunburn to cycle 100 miles a day from england to volgograd, raising money for the bobby moore fund. no exceptional training, just literally a case of getting on the bike and heading east until we got to russia.
7:03 am
we have proven you ain't got to be superman to do it. it is striking, this new volgograd arena, but the city itself has historical significance. british police have warned fans to be mindful of cultural sensitivity. so far though, so good. it is encouraging, let's see how it goes. everything is stacking up exactly as we'd hoped so far, the test is for the team over the next couple of days when the tournament starts for england and its fans. england expects, tunisia awaits. natalie pirks, bbc news, volgograd. 0nly only a if you hours to go. —— only a a few hours to go. —— only a few hours to go. the bbc‘s moscow correspondent sarah rainsford is in volgograd. stunning location. it isa it is a fantastic location, the symbol of the city right behind me and the brand—new stadium from natalie just
7:04 am
and the brand—new stadium from nataliejust behind and the brand—new stadium from natalie just behind the trees over that way. fantastic starting venue for england. the mood here has been building gradually, fans slowly trickling in by train, plane and some of them by bike. i am with james who has come a more traditional route. given the essence of the atmosphere in volgograd. traditional route. given the essence of the atmosphere in volgogradm is early. i would say it is relatively quiet, considering it is the world cup. but then, it is early andl the world cup. but then, it is early and i have only been here since the early hours of this morning. so it might get busier, i would imagine it will. have you been following them a lot? you are in marseilles two years ago, wearing your england shirt and argue worried? it did go into my mind. —— are you? just because of the political situation and nerves you a little bit because you don't know what to expect. i didn't know what to expect, really. but what i have found is that the russian people have been so friendly, so
7:05 am
helpful and i thought, it is a world cup, if you cannot wear your colours at the world cup when can you? i am very proud, very pay traffic, i love my country and i wanted to wear my colours. thanks. good luck for the match tonight. i think a a few more england fans have told us they will put their shirts on today, a little less wary than they were when they first arrived. the mood here warm and receptive and are now looking forward to the match. they will be impressed and they see that beautiful location. —— when they see. we'll be looking ahead to that match throughout today's programme, including a chat with the former england midfielder frank lampard in moscowjust after eight o'clock. and in the last few minutes, the england squad have been talking before the match and have a message. get behind us and support, every player and squad wants to win. to make you guys proud is probably the most important thing for us as a
7:06 am
squad. i am going in with excitement and positivity, i hope everybody else will feel the same way. and positivity, i hope everybody else will feel the same waylj believe that the team we have got now, the personality of the dressing room, it will hopefully be an exciting tournament and we can do ourselves proud and the nation proud. i love that message. i detect, i don't know, a little bit of nervousness as well. that the message. it is six minutes past seven right now. —— that is the message. theresa may will give more details on her promised £20 billion cash boost for the nhs in england today, as she comes under increasing pressure to explain where the money will come from. the prime minister has also asked the health service to produce a 10 year plan on how it will spend the cash, including measures to reduce waste and bureaucracy. here's our health and science correspondent james gallagher. the nhs has been part of british life for nearly 70 years, but it is feeling the pressure. patients are waiting longer to be seen in a&e or to get cancer treatment. but now more money has been found:
7:07 am
an extra £20 billion a year by the financial year starting in 2023. so where is that cash coming from? that will be through the brexit dividend, the fact that we are no longer sending vast amounts of money every year to the eu once we leave the eu, and we as a country will be contributing a bit more. those last few words could affect your paycheque. the idea that there is a brexit dividend is pure fiction. it's a pure matter of arithmetic. there will be no extra money in four years' time because of the financial arrangement we've come to with the european union. labour says it would put even more money into the nhs while the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said the government was relying on a magic money forest. patients are not going to see their credit be improved overnight. —— their care. some critics are even arguing this financial boost is still not enough. the prime minister wants the nhs in england to produce a new ten—year plan which would include
7:08 am
cutting waste and boosting mental health services. the announcement will also mean more money for devolved governments in scotland, wales and northern ireland. in just a few minutes we'll speak to the health secretary, jeremy hunt about funding the nhs. that's coming up injust a if you minutes time. —— a a few. —— a few. the uk economy could face its weakest year since the global financial crisis, according to a leading business lobby. the british chambers of commerce has revised down its forecast for gdp growth for 2018 to 1.3% from 1.4%. they have blamed the downgrade on the current outlook for consumer spending, business investment and trade. cash is no longer king — for the first time, debit card payments have taken over as the main way we pay. last year there were 100 million more transactions on card than with physical money. the banking industry say the popularity of contactless, online shopping and smart phones is driving the growth.
7:09 am
gaming addiction has for the first time been officially recognised as a mental health condition by the world health organisation. it has included "gaming disorder" in the latest edition of its international classification of diseases. the gaming industry disputes the evidence behind the decision, describing it as inconclusive. the royal college of psychiatrists says while there is no epidemic, for a small number it can become a problem when online friendships become stronger than real ones. an earthquake in the western japanese city of osaka has killed three people and injured scores of others. one of those who died was a nine—year—old girl who was trapped under a collapsed wall. the magnitude 6.1 quake struck during the morning rush hour and left tens of thousands of homes without power. many people were stranded on commuter trains and high—speed services were suspended. david dimbleby is leaving question time after hosting the show for 25 years. the presenter says he wants
7:10 am
to return to his first love — reporting. simonjones has been looking back at some of the highlights of his quarter of a century at the helm. applause. this is how it all started in january 1994. good evening and welcome to the first question time of a new year. and welcome to question time. 25 years of tough questions. did you deny the holocaust? i do not have a conviction for holocaust denial. but you did deny it. why are you smiling? listen, i think you ought to leave... cheering. there has been some crowd control. and now we are in this situation, we are all going down that fork and it is time for bed. and some lighter moments. applause. this is my stopwatch saying it's bedtime! that's true about everything... he is the longest serving presenter of the programme, david dimbleby says it has been a privilege to bring voters face—to—face with people in power
7:11 am
and plans to return to his first love — reporting. he will chair of his final show in december, but there is no word yet on his successor. from question time until next thursday, good night. simon jones, bbc news. 25 years. 11 minutes past seven. later today, theresa may will deliver a speech on funding the nhs in england. pressure is mounting on the prime minister to explain how plans to give the health service an extra £20 billion a year will be paid for. her claim that a "brexit dividend" will help fund the hike has been met with some scepticism. let's discuss this now with the health secretary, jeremy hunt. good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. can i ask at the outset, are there any circumstances in which this new nhs money would not be forthcoming?
7:12 am
well, we want to see a good plan from the nhs. the precise details of how we pay for it will be announced at the budget. the reason we have announced this now is because we wa nt to announced this now is because we want to give nhs leaders time to put together a ten year plan, this is actually the first time there has ever been a ten year plan back with a five—year commitment to funding it. and that creates stability, which is something nhs staff really want. to do this plan properly we have got to give the nhs time to work it out, to work out all the details. and then, as they worked that out and providing that plan, meets our key objectives. we will then make that five—year funding, and annual growth over the next five yea rs and annual growth over the next five years and then we will have a deal. that will be the commitment that the country makes to the nhs going
7:13 am
forward , country makes to the nhs going forward, which i for people watching this programme who care passionately about the nhs, is very very important. so the short answer to my first question, are there any circumstances in which the nhs money would not be forthcoming is yes, there are circumstances in which this would not happen? well, what we have said is, we want to do a deal with nhs and we have agreed the outlines of that deal. and i am totally confident the nhs will be able to come forward with a plan that meets what we need because we have had a number of discussions with simon stephens and other people, but as theresa may is going to say today, we will have some very ambitious objectives for productivity and efficiency because if we are going to be putting a lot of extra money into the nhs, taxpayers want to know that every pound is spent wisely. to give you an idea of the scale of what is being announced, people say are we
7:14 am
spending as much as other european countries? we currently spend about the western european average, but we don't spend as much as france or germany as a proportion of our gdp. i the end of this period, we will broadly be spending as much as france spends to date as a proportion of its gdp. so, a very significant change from being the western european average to being one of the highest spenders in western europe and the reason for thatis western europe and the reason for that is straightforward, we will have nearly a million more over 85 is in ten years time and we want to prepare for that. we want the nhs to be the safest, highest quality healthcare service in the world. we wa nt healthcare service in the world. we want everybody at home to feel security at the nhs will be better than in that means we need to do long—term planning, which isn't possible if you do your budgets on a yearin possible if you do your budgets on a year in year out basis. that is why i think this has been welcomed by nhs staff and nhs leaders.|j i think this has been welcomed by nhs staff and nhs leaders. i think people will feel confident if they
7:15 am
understood your workings in exam terms of. how is this going to be paid for? the exact details of that will be announced by the chancellor in the budget. i give broad indications. the reason we do not do it in detail now is because now is a time we want to give the nhs time to draw up their planned and then we want to finalise that plan ahead of the budget in november. and then we will be very clear how every penny will be very clear how every penny will be paid for by the can you tell us... be paid for by the can you tell us...i be paid for by the can you tell us... i will. be paid for by the can you tell us... iwill. there be paid for by the can you tell us... i will. there are three sources. we will not be paying subscriptions to brussels at the end of this period. that will not be enough. so there will also be more resourcing through the taxation
7:16 am
system. and also economic growth. put those together and you have a package with the treasury confident because they have signed up to this deal. the chancellor was right there in the negotiations on friday when we finally came to a deal. he has been extremely supportive of doing the right thing for the nhs. you have a package which the country can afford, but it also means the nhs can sustain the services it offers currently but also make progress in areas like cancer and mental health, which matter if it out to those who use the nhs. -- a lot. break this down. many experts, including the government's own office for budget responsibility, has accepted that the brexit dividend, as it is called, theresa may referenced it, does not exist. it does not exist. so do you believe the brexit
7:17 am
dividend exist in real terms, and if so, how much of the £20 billion is from the brexit dividend which a p pa re ntly from the brexit dividend which apparently your government says does not exist. let's be clear about where there is debate and where there is agreement. where there is debate between the think tanks and the forecasters is over what will happen to economic growth over the next 5— ten years. and one thing we should be clear about is the forecasts have often proved to be wrong. last week, for example, we had record employment statistics. most people would say the british economy has been more resilient than expected. there is a debate. ifully accept that. but we will not be paying subscriptions to brussels for eu membership every year. so that
7:18 am
creates some headroom... it is not 0k to say that because all of the experts say that is a notional sum of money. if, as the office for budget responsibility, the government's own examiner of what will happen, they say the economy will happen, they say the economy will be £15 billion worse off after brexit. the idea of this money changing hands is purely notional, not real money. if there is no brexit dividend, how much tax will go brexit dividend, how much tax will 9° up brexit dividend, how much tax will go up to cover the £20 billion? that was the second of your criteria. how much? i am sorry to disappoint you, but i said right at the start that i will not be present in the budget on this morning's show. important though it is. will taxes go up? you know this is a very experienced broadcaster so you should know this.
7:19 am
budgets are presented by chancellors and it will be in november. what i did tell you what is broadly where the mix of funding for this package is. why are we not announcing the details today? because we want the nhs to have some time to do something they have never been able to do before, come up with a ten year plan backed with a five—year funding promise. we have given them the amount of money they will be able to spend over that period. we wa nt to able to spend over that period. we want to see that plan and agree to it, which i am comfortable we can do. and then we will create stability for the nhs. for people who say, we are waiting too long for mental health services, we are... we do not have the same cancer survival rates as france or germany. safety in maternity wards is not consistent across the country, how we'll sort it out? well, we need a commitment from the nhs. we have to do that.
7:20 am
and then we will explain, you know, to the last pound how we will find that. one important point i need to make, this commitment we are making is not conditional on this or that outcome for economic growth. we are making a firm commitment to the nhs for the next five years. and we are positive and optimistic we will be able to make a success of brexit. i would just say to some people who doubt this, the may has constantly surprised people by giving a better deal than people thought possible. the bridge economy has done the same thing. —— british. this is not a time for pessimism. it is also not the case what we offered the nhs will be conditional on that growth. we will make a firm commitment and we will see in the budget exactly how it will. .. we will see in the budget exactly how it will... can ijust we will see in the budget exactly how it will... can i just say, jeremy hunt, we hope this morning
7:21 am

billion boost to the nhs in england will be set out by the prime minister today. theresa may has asked for a 10 year plan which includes measures to reduce waste and bureaucracy, and improvements in access to high quality mental health care. labour say the governments‘ plans are not costed, with no explanation of how much will be raised through higher taxes or borrowing. earlier the health act —— health secretary told us the details of how the spending would be revealed at the spending would be revealed at the budget. the announcement the prime minister said yesterday was something that had been agreed with the chancellor, with the treasury, and so we absolutely are confident that this is something that we can afford to do as a country. but it is afford to do as a country. but it is a very big step as we are saying that broadly over the next five yea rs we that broadly over the next five
7:34 am
years we will be increasing the proportion of our health spending to current, french levels. that is a big increase in resourcing for the nhs and the need to be absolutely sure we can fund that. the precise details have to be presented to parliament by the chancellor, not by the health secretary in an interview. the uk economy could face its weakest year since the global financial crisis, according to a leading business lobby. the british chambers of commerce has revised down its forecast for gdp growth for 2018 to 1.3% from 1.4%. they have blamed the downgrade on the current outlook for consumer spending, business investment and trade. cash is no longer king. for the first time, debit card payments have taken over as the main way we pay. last year there were 100 million more transactions on card than with physical money. the banking industry say the popularity of contactless, online shopping and smart phones is driving the growth. david dimbleby is to leave question time after 25 years
7:35 am
on the bbc‘s flagship political programme. the presenter, who will leave the show at the end of the year, said it was "the right moment to leave". dimbleby, who has chaired the show since 1994, insisted in a statement that he was not giving up broadcasting but planned to return to what he called his first love — reporting. you don't know this because you are not on social media, but there is a campaign going on to you to host question time. people are spending done at sending me tweets about it. can we say it now, i think it is time for you to leave! laughter. and you, you as well! all of those people over there. a are all going. —— they are all going. are we going to talk about the sausage dog? we
7:36 am
have had the octopus, and now a sausage dog who has been predicting who is going to win each match. basically he has given the —— has been given the traditional dishes of the country that is plain, and he gets to choose. i know if i was going to choose if i was a dog, you would go for roast beef. i turned even know this dog 's name. r2—d2. —— i don't even know. even know this dog 's name. r2—d2. -- i don't even know. what is your prediction for the school?” -- i don't even know. what is your prediction for the school? i said 3-1 prediction for the school? i said 3—1 earlier but i was just making that up. —— school. —— school. “ score. i say 3—2, a nailbiter. i say 3-2, a nailbiter. it is never, ever, ever easy. we can't expect much. well the squad arrived in volgograd yesterday.
7:37 am
they didn't train on the pitch, but gareth southgate and harry kane had a walk around the volgograd arena. lots made so far about this england squad, it's the most inexperienced that's ever been sent to a world cup, but southgate's not in the slightest bit worried. the future is all had of them and that they have got to be thinking about what is possible. —— had. the players of the past and the opportunities of the past is corner. esteem is looking at things in a different way, trying to play in a different way, trying to play in a different way. —— ahead. they have a hunger, a desire, we have better technical players we have had in the past coming to our academies. so there is a real enthusiasm and they are looking forward to getting going. let's say good morning to the former liverpool defender stephen warnock, who was part of fabio capello's england squad for the world cup in south africa in 2010. that can go so well. you have
7:38 am
experience of going into a big squad for a big tournament and being part of that big england machine. so what will it be like at the moment for that squad? we have harry kane captain in england. what will they challenge be like for him? i think it is a moment of pride for him to the captain of this team ata for him to the captain of this team at a world cup. the great thing about harry came so far is that he has got his contract situation out of the way in tottenham. he has signed a new six—year deal, happy and that is what we wanted going into the tournament. his form is sensational for the season. i think there is a real calmness about the squad in general and i think it is because the players like harry came because the players like harry came because you know that you have got someone because you know that you have got someone has got goals in them, who can wina someone has got goals in them, who can win a game. marcus rashford has been an injury doubt, he may not start against tunisia but could he come on as a sub and have the kind of impact that
7:39 am
michael owen had twenty years ago? it is nothing to worry about, if it we re it is nothing to worry about, if it were a major issue he would have been pulled out of the squad. more ofan impact been pulled out of the squad. more of an impact player? possibly, i think his form for manchester united, whenever he plays he does well. he is so quick and direct and he could be a key player for us at this world cup. and jordan pickford. i think it is a really good form. his form for everton has been really strong. his warm for sunderland the year before, they got relegated, but a good player. he is young, though. when you look at our squad it is a very young squad in general, i do see it as an issue and he has brought such orders. for those people who are not regular watchers, what people come to the world cup at this time. so we have a young side, people are saying here is a good site that and a bad side. they have a good express of the big occasions
7:40 am
but in your head, do that mean they go injust thinking, here but in your head, do that mean they go in just thinking, here we are, we will go for it. how does that work? when you look before the tournament, great, let's go for it. when you see the results coming in at the moment, germany not winning, spain not winning and you look at those results and you think a little bit of nerves creeping in and can they go into it as fully relaxed as they wa nt go into it as fully relaxed as they want to? there is that little bit of pressure. then you can look at it another way and say this is our time to shine. what about those nerves? everyone has nerves of. there are ways of using those nerves, you got to be positive and this is a great time for our country. this is a young, exciting squad and one that we have got to back. you see a contrast of how they are behaving and how it was in south africa? contrast of how they are behaving and how it was in south africa ?m you look at how gareth southgate did it in1996, he you look at how gareth southgate did it in 1996, he played a similar squad. the open press conference was
7:41 am
great the other week. i think it was brilliant. you are in touch with some of the players and i appreciate you might want to share stuff, can you might want to share stuff, can you give us a bit of an insight? they are waking up on the first day of their world cup campaign. they have normal breakfast, do something will not eat? how does it work? it is how you deal with it yourself. frank lampard spoke about it and said it is the most nervous sleep you will have the night before it is you will have the night before it is you are so you will have the night before it is you are so excited but then the nerves, they are naturalfor anyone, is how you handle them. lovely to talk to you, thank you for that insight. did you know it is fabio capello's birthday. happy birthday. we are speaking to frank lampard later. we've had the shock of the tournament so far. world champions germany beaten 1—0 by mexico in moscow. hirving lozano with the goal for mexico, who were brilliant. there were tears at the final whistle too, it all got a bit too much for west ham's javier hernandez at the final whistle.
7:42 am
well that mexico goal caused such a celebration in central america that it caused an earth tremor. and the mexican rave even spread to germany. these are pictures from the main fan park in berlin. look at the very brave group of mexican fans going wild right in the middle of the german masses. another of the favourites — brazil — also had a stuttering start to their campaign. everything looked rosy for the five time champions when the former liverpool forward phillipe coutinho smashed in this stunning first half opener against switzerland. but then it all went a bit wrong for them, as steven zuber equalised. it's the first time that brazil have failed to win their opening match since 1978. plenty of other sport going on. tommy fleetwood matched the lowest round in us open history, but could only finish second behind defending champion brooks koepka. the englishman became only the sixth player to shoot a final round of 63.
7:43 am
yet if this had gone in, he might have forced a play—off. because koepka tapped in to win by one stroke, which makes the american the first to retain the us open title for 19 years. johanna konta lost the final of the nottingham 0pen for the second year in a row. the british number one was beaten by australia's ashleigh barty in three sets, but she also lost her temper. this was in the ninth game of the final, deciding, set. konta got annoyed because a barty shot wasn't called long. the puff might have been chalk, but could have been dust beyond the baseline and it led to this outburst. this is a joke! it's an absolute joke. no, you listen to me. we are out here busting, literally busting our chops like no other and you are there and you are making decisions that affect our lives, do you understand that? do you fully understand that? 0h
7:44 am
oh my goodness. she is a cool customer most of the time and that is not something we see from her very often. you need to focus that passion into your game rather than at the umpire. that is what they need to do tonight. let's take a moment to look at this team. this is the england team that is playing tonight, their baby pictures! the front page of the times or supplement. do you know what, all of these pictures were not taken that long ago! a lovely little short of harry came with his england face paint. he has got the england flag painted on his face. great to see, because at the heart of this it is dream is coming true. —— dream two. —— dreams. carol is at queen's for us this morning. good morning. look behind me! they

7:50 am
thenit home he became more isolated. and then it slowly became unhealthy. would you describe what has happened to him as an addiction? in the last year, definitely. he was hospitalised at christmas. he could not function. he was not washing, eating. yes. when it got to that... and then, because he was not going out, he became frightened going to school. you have seen a real and fundamental and frightening change. beyond frightening watching your own child deteriorate like that at such a rate. we will go to the doctor in a rate. we will go to the doctor in a moment, but obviously you talk to him all the time. what does he think is happening? because there was no diagnosis, it is hard to... i call ita diagnosis, it is hard to... i call it a silent addiction. there is nobody... you are in your house. it
7:51 am
is not affecting society in any way. hejust is not affecting society in any way. he just knew that it was quite uncontrollable for him. it did not matter... when you see your child suffering cobbler to do anything to help themsuffering,. it did not matter what i did, restricting internet access, taking the door off of his bedroom. i wanted to see what he was doing. yes, it is traumatic, not just for he was doing. yes, it is traumatic, notjust for him, he was doing. yes, it is traumatic, not just for him, all of he was doing. yes, it is traumatic, notjust for him, all of us in the house. we will come back to you in a moment. doctor, it has been described by the world health 0rganization as a gaming disorder, a medical condition. is that helpful? extremely helpful in cases such as this one. a very sad story. this ball boy has lived in isolation from his peers and his family for the
7:52 am
last months. —— poor. ifeel that it is important to recognise it as an illness in order to the able to be prepared and help and support the families and the young people who are presenting with this illness. we know that there is treatment that works very well for gaming disorder. it is cognitive behavioural therapy. but if the availability of services is not there because an illness is not recognised, that is when families end up with a significant extra stress of knowing there is an issue and then not knowing what to do with it. briefly, because we are running out of time, is this too little, too late for some people? is there a chance to help? there is definitely a chance to help. please, if you have a problem, treatment works extremely well. part of it is about stimulus control. as we were
7:53 am
listening earlier, you need to start removing the availability of the gaming in orderto removing the availability of the gaming in order to start making the changes that will return your behaviour to what it was before. that is a very gifted young man who will do well with his life, but will never really be able to game again because he is very likely to have problems in the future if he returns to it once he has been treated. can i ask to it once he has been treated. can iask you... to it once he has been treated. can i ask you... you are reacting to the issue, what about help? what health have you received? there is help, but not specific help tailored to this issue. and because he is so immersed and there is not really an off—line version of him, the help has to be somebody that understands... i really do believe this is problematic gaming, it is an epidemic. people watching this, people judge... epidemic. people watching this,
7:54 am
people judge. .. they do. you have thought hard about whether or not earlier on you should have taken different action. do you think that? how do you reflect on it now? yeah, reflecting as a parent is something we all have to do and we never ever get it right. because it has been going on so long, i could not have tried more things. what has become clear, whether it is the router being ina clear, whether it is the router being in a safe, for example, he is different to the other four children. they might get cross and react to what i am doing, but they are not problematic, whereas he is extreme... he is different to the other four extreme... he is different to the otherfour in extreme... he is different to the other four in terms of how he reacts to the games. it is stark how different he is. thank you for talking to us. we have had a statement from the gaming body,
7:55 am
ukie, saying they are concerned. they were concerned to see "gaming disorder" still contained in the latest version of the world health 0rganisation guidance "despite significant opposition from the medical and scientific community. the evidence for its inclusion remains highly contested and inconclusive." and if you'd like advice to life online, then the bbc has a digital guide with lots of advice. that's at bbc.co.uk.ownit. in recent weeks, we've seen a big government promise on heathrow airport and lots of headlines on the rail network, but steph's been looking at a call to invest in a different part of the uk's infrastructure. steph? that's right. while westminster and brussels are busy hammering out a plan for trade after brexit, there is a call today to invest in the things that facilitate nearly all of our trade today, that's ports. i'm going to speak to the man who runs the uk's largest port in a moment, first here's why they play a big part in the uk economy.
7:56 am
the coastline features more than 500 ports and harbours. they are home and workplace to the smallest fishing boats to the largest cargo ships. 95% of everything we import and export goes through the biggest 120 of these ports. the most well—known is next to the white cliffs of dover. it is near grimsby, the largest in terms of volume. they account for more than a quarter of all international trade. the report today says the government should make these places supercharged ports, getting better tax arrangements. it is claimed this could add £9 billion a year to the northern economy. simon bird runs the humber division of associated british ports, the uk's leading ports operator. hejoins us from immingham, the country's largest port by volume of cargo.
7:57 am
good morning. can you explain what a supercharged freeport is? good morning. i read the report, as you have. the supercharged freeport means linking port status to enterprise zones near the port. what is it? goods can move freely into the port. 0utside is it? goods can move freely into the port. outside the regime of the country. components coming in canon are used in the manufacturing process. the finished goods can be re—exported to other countries. process. the finished goods can be re-exported to other countries. what difference will it make? they drive investment. it will drive jobs and drive local economies. it will

stimulate cargo coming over the quay. stimulate cargo coming over the quay, both imports and exports. they say they are considering it but there are also costs and risks. how can the government be convinced?” have seen what the treasury men by the risk associated with it, but if it is controlled and regulated, and with technology, i do not see what they are. —— mean. with technology, i do not see what they are. -- mean. what do you think in terms of why this is important? why should the port have other areas of infrastructure? as you said, but did 5% of cargo coming into this country comes through the port sector. —— 95%. iam country comes through the port sector. —— 95%. i am standing in the largest port by tonnage in the uk,

good morning. well, after quite a cool weekend, the temperature will get warmer this week. today, quite a bit of cloud around at first. then warm sunshine through the afternoon. away from the east this morning, a spot of drizzle. not amounting to much. the cloud gradually breaks. clearing to a fine and dry and sunny afternoon. temperatures, warmer again, 25 max. much warmer. a nice evening in the sunshine. cloud will move in from the west. mist further south through the morning. uncomfortable at night for sleeping and humid. a warm start the morning. cloud, breaking up leading to sunny spells. similar on wednesday. just a bit warmer, 26—28 as a maximum. high pressure dominates. plenty of dry weather.
8:02 am
vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london right now, and in the next 10 minutes she's speaking to someone about debit cards being used more than cash — for the first time ever last year. that's followed by a paper review, and i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. the wait is almost over — england make their debut at the 2018 world cup. this morning, the team have appealed for fans to get behind them, as they prepare to take on tunisia tonight. you always do get behind us. we will
8:03 am
give it a real go. we are not there to lay up, we are going to go there and really give it a go so stick with those and back course and we will give you something to cheer on. they are singing here at this high school in liverpool and this is where trent alexander—arnold and raheem sterling went to school and they are confident of an england win tonight. england ready to get involved in a tournament that has been just brilliant. so far, goals, incident and shocks. the latest came in moscow, as germany were stunned by mexico, the holders beaten 1—0 in their opening match. good morning, it's monday, june 18th. also this morning: the health secretary can't tell us exactly where the £20 billion boost for the nhs will come from —
8:04 am
telling breakfast the full details will be announced in the budget. well, the money is going to be forthcoming and that's why the prime minister made a commitment, and she is someone who keeps her word. we meet the parents campaigning for children to be vaccinated against meningitis c before 12 weeks — after their little girl was left severely disabled. listen, i think you should leave, you know! listen, i think you should leave, you know! and now it's time for david dimbleby to go. he's announced he's leaving question time, after more than 25 years at the helm. virgin money and clydesdale bank are merging. combined, they will become the 6th biggest bank in the uk — but, also, it will mean the loss of 1,500 jobs. i'll have more shortly. and carol's at queen's, with the weather. and the tennis is about to begin. good morning. good morning. all good morning. all the good morning. all the action good morning. all the action begins good morning. all the action begins all the action at good morning. all the action begins at noon. and the covers are already
8:05 am
at noon. and the covers are already at off and the forecast for queen's is dry and sunny and warm. for the rest the uk, cloud is moving again after a sunny start with patchy light rain and drizzle. sunny skies across the south east and eastern england. i will have more in 15 minutes. thank you. good morning. first, our main story. england's world cup campaign kicks off tonight, with a match against tunisia in the city of volgograd, in russia. the three lions have not won an opening game since 2006, but manager gareth southgate says his young squad are not haunted by previous campaigns. natalie pirks reports. volgograd — where, tonight, the motherland of football meets the motherland. in the city formerly known as stalingrad, england will attempt to win their opening world cup match for the first time since 2006. gareth southgate, though, believes his young side aren't affected by the past. this team is looking at things in a different way, trying to play in a different way. they have a hunger, they have a desire.
8:06 am
we have better technical players than we've had in the past coming through our academies. so, there's a real enthusiasm, and they‘ re looking forward to getting going. around 2,100 england fans are expected tonight and, as always, they've found creative ways of getting here. jamie and mitch battled tiredness and sunburn to cycle 100 miles a day from england to volgograd, raising money for the bobby moore fund. we've done no exceptional training, just literally, it's a case of getting on the bike and heading east, until we got to russia. we've just proven that, like, you ain't got to be superman to do it. well, it's really quite striking, this brand—new volgograd arena, but the city itself has huge historical significance and british police have warned fans to be mindful of cultural sensitivities. so far, though, so good. it's encouraging. but let's see how it goes. everything's stacking up exactly as we'd hoped so far.
8:07 am
i guess the test for the team is over the next couple of days, when the tournament starts for england and its fans. england expects, tunisia awaits. natalie pirks, bbc news, volgograd. the bbc‘s moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, is in volgograd. it is an extraordinary backdrop and quite a setting and a lot of eyes on england tonight. that is right, and extraordinary setting. this giant statue that towers over volgograd, the city itself, towers over the brand—new stadium on the banks of the river volga in that direction. and this morning, the day has started with fans making their way here to see this, the biggest side in the city. but there has been playing of reefs inside the hole of military lorry because this is a war memorial, a reminder of world war ii, the battle of stalingrad, which
8:08 am
was fought right here and england fa ns was fought right here and england fans have been paying their respects here and the chairman of the fa joining them. so that is this morning. the focus will turn towards the stage later in the day. kick—off at local time, evening time here, so it will be a lot cooler when it is boiling hot. fans trickling in, they have been coming from moscow today by train and by plane. and at the moment, the atmosphere is extremely warm and very welcoming for them. thank you. and the england team have been posting this morning because they have this new approach to engage people more. asking for support. we'll be looking ahead to that match throughout today's programme, including a chat with the former england midfielder frank lampard, in moscow, in just a few minutes. 0ther other news now. theresa may will give more details on her promised £20 billion cash boost for the nhs in england today, as she comes under increasing pressure to explain where the money will come from. the prime minister has also asked the health service to produce
8:09 am
a ten—year plan on how it will spend the cash, including measures to reduce waste and bureaucracy. here's our health and science correspondent, james gallagher. the nhs has been part of british life for nearly 70 years, but it is feeling the pressure. patients are waiting longer to be seen in a&e, or to get cancer treatment. but now more money has been found. an extra £20 billion a year by the financial year starting in 2023. so where is that cash coming from? that will be through the brexit dividend, the fact that we are no longer sending vast amounts of money every year to the eu once we leave the eu, and we as a country will be contributing a bit more. those last few words could affect your paycheque. the idea that there is a brexit dividend is pure fiction. as a pure matter of arithmetic, there will be no extra money in four years' time because of the financial arrangement we've come
8:10 am
to with the european union. labour says it would put even more money into the nhs, while the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, said the government was relying on a magic money forest. patients are not going to see their care radically improved overnight. some critics are even arguing this financial boost is still not enough. the prime minister wants the nhs in england to produce a new ten—year plan, which will include cutting waste and boosting mental health services. the announcement will also mean more money for the devolved governments in scotland, wales and northern ireland. earlier, the health secretary told this programme that the brexit dividend wouldn't be enough to fund the nhs spending. the fact that we won't be paying subscriptions to brussels by the end of this period. but that alone won't be anything like enough. so there will also be more resourcing through
8:11 am
the taxation system. and also, to economic growth. the uk economy could face its weakest year since the global financial crisis, according to a leading business lobby. the british chambers of commerce has revised down its forecast for gdp growth for 2018 to 1.3% from 1.4%. they have blamed the downgrade on the current outlook for consumer spending, business investment and trade. david dimbleby is to leave question time after 25 years on the bbc‘s flagship political programme. the presenter, who will leave the show at the end of the year, said it was "the right moment to leave". dimbleby, who has chaired the show since 1994, insisted in a statement that he was not giving up broadcasting, but planned to return to what he called his first love, reporting. show we talk about football? yes, a bit of a yes, a bit ofa game yes, a bit of a game on tonight.
8:12 am
we're fewer than 12 hours from the start of england's world cup campaign — and one man who knows how the players will be feeling right now is frank lampard. he was cappped 106 times and named man of the match the last time england won an opening world cup match. that was against paraguay in 2006. frank's in moscow this morning. good morning. thank you forjoining us, frank lampard. you are really well placed to give us an idea, you wa ke well placed to give us an idea, you wake up this morning, how will the players have slept first? well, hopefully well. i mean, it would have been a long build—up for them. to play later on in the week is one thing, i think it built up the nerves and the excitement. you really do feel as a player when the world cup comes how special it is, the extra bit it has too it. i hope they control it. they have such a good young group, hopefully there is a fea rlessness good young group, hopefully there is a fearlessness and they can be excited and go through their routines and hopefully we will see them do their stuff. did you manage to sleep the night before a match or did you have a worry some night?
8:13 am
a bit of both. sometimes, it can catch you and you wake up in the middle of the night and you can't get back to sleep because you imagine of the game and you know the pressures and the eyes of everybody back home and the world is watching. it is not easy, i have to say. but hopefully, the environment gareth southgate has created as a squad, the hotel and the preparations has been spot—on, it looks that way from the outside and so it is down to the players to keep their focus. what about his management style? he has said they are not haunted by previous campaigns. yes, i think all the words from gareth has been spot—on. he has kept expectations down, they are speaking very well. they don't have that scarring previous performances and i had that, our generation, we didn't succeed, we didn't win something. and we always have those memories. these lads don't have that. they are fresh and young and it feels like
8:14 am
they want to show what they can do on this big scene. so hopefully, thatis on this big scene. so hopefully, that is the positives and that will translate on the pitch. and he was under the most pressure on the pitch? well, england, for sure later on. they are playing tunisia. there is low expectation, we think. but once the game starts, we expect our teams to win and they should tonight. that expectation is right and the players have to be big enough to take that. as we have seen from the games already, we expected brazil to win last night and germany to win, it doesn't win that way in that first game that can be cagey so there will be pressure, three games to get through and i believe england have more than enough to get through that. they have put out a message saying to the fans to get behind them, how much of the difference does that make to a player?‘ them, how much of the difference does that make to a player? a lot andi does that make to a player? a lot and i have no doubt england fans will do because i think the problem in the past has been more reaction toa in the past has been more reaction to a bad result. that can quickly
8:15 am
become very negative. i always felt in these major tournaments, when england fans show they really support their team, outside the hotel, on the drive to the stadium, the support from the fans who have made this incredible trip to get out here and support them will be really strong so i don't think it will be a problem but i hope if we get negative results later, we still believe and we should do and that is when the players really need a back—up from the media and fans to try and help them but i don't think so, they think we have a good feeling around the camp this year and hopefully, it will remain positive. i can't help but notice the stunning backdrop behind you, i know they are playing many miles away from you, how much would you like to be playing tonight?” away from you, how much would you like to be playing tonight? i would do, of course, i would love to, but i'm very aware my body has stopped functioning in the same way a few yea rs functioning in the same way a few years ago. these are the games and the moments, being here, although i'm not on the side tonight, you can feel it here anyway, the fans from all over the world and it reminds
8:16 am
you the world cup is notjust football, that is at the centre of it but it is about people and fans travelling from all over the world and the eyes of the fans watching and the eyes of the fans watching and the eyes of the fans watching and the players should enjoy that moment because as an ex—player, you should realise what that moment is. us on. what will the? - 2-0 and i think they will be happy to get the points in the opening game —— think they will be happy to get the points in the opening game -- you have said they will win. what do you think the score will be?” have said they will win. what do you think the score will be? i think we have too much, talking about harry kane, raheem sterling, dele alli, i think it is too much ability, and hopefully it will be a pretty co mforta ble hopefully it will be a pretty comfortable win. frank lampard, thank you very much for your time. i know you have to speak to other people. in the business of looking ahead to great sporting occasions this morning, and queen's tennis is about to start. carol is at queen's for us this morning. do you want to join this week say? i
8:17 am
think sally said 3—1. i will go with sally. carol? if frank lampard says 2-0 i sally. carol? if frank lampard says 2—0 i am going with that one, i think that will be this good. good call! it is not bad at all here. all the action kicks off at noon today but look at this magnificent trophy. the winner will hold this aloft on sunday and i can tell you it quite heavy. way back in 1890 the first winner here, a good friend of charlie's. you can see in 2009 andy murray won it and he did that other four times, than anybody else. write down at the bottom, very shortly, 2018. i would down at the bottom, very shortly, 2018. iwould be down at the bottom, very shortly, 2018. i would be arrested if i tried to write myself on this trophy... anyway, today, highs of up to 25 in the sunshade, so take the normal
8:18 am
preparations you would for sitting in the sunshine throughout the afternoon, but for the rest of us, cloud building in from the west, and that will introduce some patchy, light rain and drizzle across south—west england, wales, northern ireland, and also north—west england. this morning we have a lot of blue sky around across parts of scotland, for example, but in the west of scotland you're prone to showers on and off back and it will also be very windy in the north and north—west of scotland. southend in northern ireland, the more cloud, but equally there is some sunshine around. northern england, a cracking start. as it is across wales, south—west england, and also in the north midlands. it is the south—eastern quarter which has a bit more cloud, but going through the more bring you will find it. the thin and break and we will see more such a deserving —— going through the morning. pollen levels are high or very high across all of england, wales and northern ireland, but low to moderate across scotland. through the day, you can see how the code in
8:19 am
the day, you can see how the code in the south—east tends to break up, sun comes out. as it will remain across england —— the cloud in the south—east tends to break up. in the west, more cloud building and that will tend to introduce the patchy light rain and drizzle i was mentioning for south—west england, south—west wales, northern ireland, north—west scotland, and also north—west scotland, and also north—west england eventually. highs is up to 25 in the south—east, fresher further north. through this evening in the overnight, we will have clear skies first thing, then more cloud in from the west, romping across all areas, clearing in scotla nd across all areas, clearing in scotland and the far north of england and northern ireland, but under this you could catch the odd spot of rain across the midlands, for example, and it will be among the night, particularly in the south—east. tomorrow we start with all this cloud in the south which will thin an break and we will see some sunshine coming through. after a sunny start for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, more cloud coming with just a few showers, but nonetheless there still
8:20 am
will be some breaks in the cloud with sunshine. temperatures again from the mid to high teens across the north, and from the low to mid teens across the south. and, lou and charlie, heading for the wednesday, it looks like if you're in the south of england in particular temperatures are set to rise that little bit higher. carol, thanks very much. we will be back with you a little later. thank you. it is 20 past eight. now, when vikki mitchell put her newborn baby kia to bed with a high temperature, she did not imagine the nightmare nine months that would follow. kia had actually contracted meningitis c before she was old enough to have the vaccine. she had to have all her limbs amputated, and has only just returned home. doctors were amazed she survived at all. kia's parents now want the vaccination age to be reconsidered. breakfast‘s john maguire went to meet them. look at that. nine months ago, kia's mum vikki noticed her baby girl was unwell.
8:21 am
she had a few things that looks like bruises. they looked like blue bruises. if you look away and looked back, there were more. that is how quick they were appearing. kia had contracted meningitis c. the blood poisoning meant she lost all four of her limbs, and doctors believe her sight as well. it was one of the most severe cases in leeds the doctors had dealt with. until two years ago, babies were immunised against what is called men c at three—months—old. but now, the vaccine is given at around a year, when the immune system has developed, and once again in adolescence. but kia was eight—months—old when she fell ill. we have tried going through everyone to get it back to parliament. we need 10,000 signatures, we took that to parliament. kia will never be able to sign her own signature. that should be enough to make people
8:22 am
out there and listen to what we are trying to say. men c is very rare now. that is why an independent committee advised that the dose at three—months—old was stopped. 20 years ago, 99 babies in england aged up to one—year—old contracted men c. by 2016, there were just four cases. and some years, there were none at all. dr simonj nadel is a children's intensive care consultant. he says immunity has spread across the population. the men c vaccine given from eight weeks may also help. the decision was purely based on it is cheaper to take the vaccine out of the infant schedule. it is also based on that infants should be protected by some men c vaccine is.
8:23 am
the infant schedule is crowded. it is not uncommon for parents to get babies immunised and it comes away with four or five injections at the same sitting. the risk of having too many vaccines means many will not get their children vaccinated. public of england says the immunisation committee keeps any decisions under review. but kia's parents continue their campaign for the vaccine to be reinstated at three months. ahead, they know life will be tough. but they are thankful that kia is still with them. john maguire, bbc news, bradford. let's get mor more on meningitis c and vaccinations now, with the gp, dr fari ahmad. listening to them, so much sympathy for them, but one point coming out, this is very rare. it is, and i think that was one of the reasons why they stopped doing the vaccinations when the babies were having them at about three months. what has been happening with the
8:24 am
meningitis c is we started vaccinating years ago. and most of that, the bugs, the meningitis bug that, the bugs, the meningitis bug that causes it, it listener knows and thoughts, and it seems to be around teenage years they carry most of it —— lives in our nose and throat. and it looks like it has been working because the levels have dropped, and that was one of the reasons why it was taken off, at three months, and moved to a year. some living hearing the family's story there, and their appeal now to get more signatures. —— it is now appealing hearing the family's story. what is your take on the right way forward ? story. what is your take on the right way forward? it is really heartbreaking just to see what happened to kia. i think it is a difficult to make thatjudgment and to understand what would be right. so there is an independent committee who sit and trawl through all the data, and they look at what is
8:25 am
happening, not only here, but also in other countries. there are other countries who don't do the vaccination at three months and don't do it, theyjust like we do, and they do really well and seemed to keep their rates down. all these decisions are made taking all that information on board. meningitis is one of those things, as a parent especially with young children, that you are concerned about, aren't you? what should people be watching out for? meningitis is basically an inflammation of the lining of your spinal—cord, so often the things you should be watching out for a little ones, if they don't seem to like bright lights, if they have gone off... they are not feeding well, getting a high temperature, stiff neck, muscle pain, their skin is getting more sold. there is a rush that comes with this and i think kia's periods talked about it, quite a dark crash, and if you put a glass
8:26 am
on it, doesn't go away. watching them, one of the things was the speed at which she got extremely ill? yes, even though it lives in the back of our nose and thoughts for ages, when it breaks through that barrier it can make people on well really quickly. it is frightening, but if you recognise it, just get help quickly. you know, most children do have illnesses and they can be... most people are fine, it is just these things to watch out for, and get help quickly. thank you so much, and thank you to her parents, for talking to us, and for introducing kia as well. thank you. if you are not excited by the world cup, today probably is the day. england playing their first probably is the day. england playing theirfirst game probably is the day. england playing their first game in probably is the day. england playing theirfirst game in russia. this is a live shot for you, red square in moscow. we will give you more on that in a few minutes' time. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. this is business live from bbc news, with vishala sri—pathma
