latest on the world cup from russia as gareth southgate leads england training a day after suffering a dislocated shoulder. good morning. it's thursday 21st june. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. the murder of an iraqi asylum seeker was motivated by racism and entirely avoidable, a safeguarding report has found. kamel ahmed was stabbed more than 25 times by a paranoid schizophrenic who was released from a secure hospital against the advice of a psychiatrist. jeffery barry mutilated the body of mr ahmad injuly 2016 hours after being released from a secure hospital. he was found guilty of the murder which took place in

the supported—living home in bristol where they both lived last year. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has the details. jeffery barry and kamel ahmed both had mental health problems and stayed in separate flats in the same sheltered housing complex in bristol. however, over the four years that they were living in the same building, jeffery barry developed an obsession with kamel ahmed. today's report says that between 2013 and 2016 there were at least six incidents between them. those included jeffery barry punching kamel ahmed on at least two occasions as well as a racially aggravated assault. however, all of those incidents, it says today, the seen through the prism ofjeffery barry's mental health conditions. they weren't seen as being motivated by racism, which is how they should have been, says today's report. jeffery barry, it says, is a racist with mental health issues, rather than a mentally unwell man whose racism is a manifestation of his illness.

had the incident been blamed through the prism of racism, then the two men would have been separated. beyond that, there was actually more errors in the days leading up to the actual murder itself. jeffery barry, in 2016, had been detained under the mental health act. he appealed against that decision. a mental health tribunal was called. it was not given the full background of jeffery barry's mental health conditions, his many years of violent mental health conduct and it decided to release him, against the advice of at least two psychiatrists and against the advice of jeffery barry's own brother. that then lead to more failures. the person who was meant to be in charge of planning his discharge didn't get the work done quickly enough so the sheltered housing complex was only given a few hours notice that he would be returning. they didn't want him back and considered launching some legal action, but they ran out of time.

so what they did was to contact all the residents they could and warned them that he was returning. unfortunately, they were unable to get a hold of kamel ahmed. that day, jeffery barry was released, he went on to drink a litre of rum. at1:30am on at 1:30am on july the at 1:30am onjuly the 7th, he contacted his mental health crisis tea m contacted his mental health crisis team and told them he wanted to punch and asian. half an hour later, they called the police nonemergency numberand they called the police nonemergency number and told them of the contents of the cold. dash off the phone call. let's ta ke let's take a more detailed look at

you is affected by brexit and so far. that affect the 3.8 million eu citizens in the uk as well as the 900,000 uk citizens in the uk fred—mack eu. eu citizens who have beenin fred—mack eu. eu citizens who have been in the country for five years by the end of twenty20, the end of the brexit transition period, will be able to apply for settled status, which means they can live and work in the uk. if they haven't been here for five years, they will be able to apply to stay until they reach that threshold and then get settled status. we are expecting to find out today about the application process and how much it will cost. let's get the details from norman smith. i hope we can get norman to you. good morning, norman dot in westminster, as ever. what more i were expecting

the home secretary to say in terms of the real detail? i think what we will get from the home secretary is a promise that this will be an easy—to—use, simple, straightforward application process which will be able to be completed online. it will be processed within a couple of weeks and is likely to cost about the same as a passport, around £72 50. the difficulty is there is a huge amount of scepticism, particularly amongst migrants living in the uk over whether the home 0ffice in the uk over whether the home office is going to be able to deliver that, just because of the sheer numbers involved. we are talking about processing more than 3 million applications by the end of 2020. that is a huge amount of work that has to be undertaken. they also have anxieties about the details of

much of the process, exactly how much of the process, exactly how much they will be able to prove they have been resident in the uk for five years, what happens if they've been away on business or other matters? what happens in terms of the rights are cruised to their children and extended families still living outside the uk? there are a huge number of unanswered questions, and there is also a good deal of nervousness about the home office more broadly in the wake of the windrush scandal, when we saw people with an absolute confidence that they did have a right to remain facing, in some circumstances, it seems, being detained and even deported. there is real, real nervousness amongst many eu migrants which the home secretary will seek to allay by spelling out more of the details about how the scheme is going to work. and more generally, how is theresa may set for next week's summit with

other eu leaders, given yesterday's eventin other eu leaders, given yesterday's event in the house of commons? she has talked about a smooth and orderly brexit but if the path ahead is clear? it is farfrom is clear? it is far from clear, but it seems less rocky than it did 2a hours ago because to be is a candle out —— can now look ahead to other battles. there is other legislation, new rules on immigration. but i think she will approach those battles with a great deal of confidence, given the fact that tory rebels last night in fact backed down when it seemed they were bracing themselves for a showdown with theresa may. i think what tory whips will take from that is when it came down to it, those rebels are very, very wary of voting against the government because they are very different from the old

rebels who madejohn major's life hell. these are often people who have been ministers, they are part of the party mainstream and they are in string —— and they instinct is to support the party line. i think the vote will have given her an awful lot more confidence for the battles ahead. thank you. making "upskirting" a specific criminal offence will move a step closer today, after it was controversially blocked last week. the prime minister reiterated her support for the bill which could lead to a two year prison sentence for people who take surreptitious photographs under other people's clothing. a previous attempt was scuppered by tory mp sir christopher chope who was concerned about the bill's lack of scrutiny. it will be reintroduced in parliament later. president donald trump has ordered an end to the separation of migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. his administration's policy of "zero—tolerance" towards illegal immigration led to thousands of children being detained, away from their parents.

but last night he signed an executive order bringing the policy to an end, as our washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue reports. this stretch of the rio grande in texasis this stretch of the rio grande in texas is where many tried to enter the united states. every week some drown in the attempt. those who make it face arrest and prosecution. it is at centres like this that adults and children were being separated, leading to those now notorious images of children apparently housed in cages. the national and international outcry was in the end too much, even for president trump. he struck a defiant tone while doing his u—turn. so the democrats want open borders. let everybody, in. let everybody

pour in, we don't care. let them come in from the middle east, let them come in from all over the place. we don't care. we're not going to let it happen. and, by the way, today i signed an executive order. we're going to keep families together, but the border is going to be just as tough as it has been. thousands of children have been separated from their parents in recent weeks, and no one really knows how long it will take to reunite them. it's going to be a herculean task, if you will, because it's going to require a lot of transparency in finding out exactly, where these children were separated from the families and where those parents are. the churches are often at the forefront of the immigrant welfare, but just hours forefront of the immigrant welfare, butjust hours after the stroke of the presidential pen, all

denominations gathered in the rain to welcome the change of heart by the administration. everyone at this gathering will be glad the president has ended the separation of children from their pa rents, separation of children from their parents, but they also know the policy of zero tolerance for people crossing the border illegally has not changed, and that could mean increasing numbers of adults and children in custody. we are going to take you live to dublin now. the prime minister is having talks withjohn claudejunker now. let's listen to what is going on. the eu commission president. at our meeting we were in full agreement that there is now an urgent need to intensify our efforts if we are to get there. we will be discussing this further. there will be council in brussels next week and

our eu partners are steadfast in their backing for us. we also discussed a number of other important issues ahead of the council next week, including migration. and while ireland is not on the front line of the migration crisis, we want to play our part developing in a conference of eu approach, like so many big issues facing the world and europe at the moment, nation states acting alone cannot solve these problems so we need a european approach on strengthening our external borders, tackling the root causes of migration, working in partnership with countries of origin such as africa, assuring there is burden sharing across the union. i also wa nted sharing across the union. i also wanted to, once again, thank the president for being here and allow him to make some remarks. yes, it is a real pleasure to be

backin yes, it is a real pleasure to be back in dublin, a city i know well, where i spent beautiful moments of my life. i remember back in december 1996, so many other events. i was meeting with my friend leo because we have to discuss a certain number of issues, starting with brexit. not for the first time or the last time but making it very clear that in the commission, in my view, that this is not a question between ireland and the united kingdom. this is an issue between the uk and the european union, as sometimes the european parliament, some of the members there are saying that this is not a

business. but this is a balance between ireland and the uk. we wanted to make it clear again and again that ireland is not alone. we have ireland backed by 26 member states and by the commission and this will not change. i am strongly against any temptation to try to isolate ireland and not to contravene an island. ireland has to be part when we are discussing migration. i spoke to the tea shock on this informal meeting next sunday dedicated to migration, but the main point is forming the european council at next week, we will also be on migration and when it comes to migration, it is important to underline the need we have to define the european approach to the

problems intended by migration. this is not the moment for nationalism, this is the moment for a european approach is that in a sense we are preparing meetings of next week, and i call on ireland to be as proficient as he normally is. thank you. john claude junker, do you think the december deal is bullet—proof? and to both of you, do you think october and ultimately the march deadline? it is not only up to us to make sure that a deal will be made, there is steps to be taken by britain and i

hope that the solutions we have to find will be there at the right moment. i think it is very simple. the united kingdom gave the european union back in december a cast iron and bullet—proof guarantee that there will be no hard border on the island of ireland, no physical infrastructure and no associated controls. then the prime minister spoke to europe, saying there would bea spoke to europe, saying there would be a backstop as part of a control agreements so we expect the uk to honour that agreement and honour it in full. given prime minister's challenges in westminster, is defending the backstop at any cost a dangerous game for ireland and the eu? i look at it in terms of british politics isn't my concern .myjob is to represent my country, ireland, and do that as part of the european

union. and we remain at the heart of the european union. the most important aspect of the agreement for us is the backstop. the prime minister committed in march there would be a backstop and outlined in december what it would contain. withdrawing the agreement is no use to us whatsoever. a question forjohn claude junker, we have spoken of the trustworthiness of british commitments, given last year. you sat across the table from theresa may negotiating, do you feel that she is a trustworthy negotiating partner? yes. idoas yes. i do as well, just in case there is any doubt about that. inaudible

i think it's important to recall the british government's commitments. i think it is all about trying to agree a sensible brexit that works for the united kingdom, ireland and europe. and what was agreed in december in writing between the uk and the eu was that there would be no hard border in ireland, no physical infrastructure and new associated controls, and that would be achieved to full rigour to the alignment docked in march it was agreed in writing by prime minister that the backstop would have to form pa rt that the backstop would have to form part of the withdrawal agreement... so some interesting lines coming out of that appearance in front of the media withjohn of that appearance in front of the media with john called junker

of that appearance in front of the media withjohn called junker —— john claude junker. saying media withjohn called junker —— john claudejunker. saying they need to be an intensification of efforts to be an intensification of efforts to get to the point in the process where everything can happen that needs to happen by, indeed, 0ctober and of course march next year, when the uk is officially due to leave the uk is officially due to leave the eu. he said the eu partners are absolutely steadfast in their support for ireland and that was something john called junker repeated, saying ireland was not alone. and you heard leo there are saying he expected theresa may to honour her commitments. he said they we re honour her commitments. he said they were cast iron and bullet—proof. there would be no hard border and no physical infrastructure as a result of brexit on the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. clearly the journalist who

asked junker if he thought theresa may was a trustworthy negotiating partner expected more than just yes, but that is what he got. relatives of the more than a50 people whose lives were shortened by the inappropriate use of powerful pain killers at gosport war memorial hospital are calling for a doctor who presided over the regime to face criminal charges. a report found there was an "institutionalised regime" of giving "dangerous doses' of painkillers that weren't needed and concluded there was a disregard for human life. 0ur correspondent richard lister is in gosport. have we heard anything from the police on this case? will be relatives get the criminal investigation that they want? hampshire police are very much the focus of the family ‘s anger now,

and there is pressure on them from many sides to reopen the investigation and pursue a line that eventually leads to criminal prosecutions. the police say they are studying the document and if implications very carefully and will not be answering specific questions on it for now. the chief constable released a statement saying that there does seem to be information in this report that they were not aware of when they conducted the three investigations into complaints made by victims families over the past 20 yea rs or by victims families over the past 20 years or so, but they are now working on a process that will bring other agencies together so they can work out what the next steps should be. so i think at the moment hampshire police are working on the assumption they need to take these next few steps slowly, and there is pressure on them to bring in another police force, someone not associated with this enquiry, to provide a more independent analysis of this investigation and where it should

lead. the families are unrelenting in their pressure and their stories are heartbreaking. this morning brigid reeves spoke about the moment she discovered from yesterday's report how her grandfather had died. it outlined the fact that she had got up on the 19th because as we know now she had this equivalent of 135 mg of morphine running through her body. they said she was aggressive and disorientated, as you imaginea woman aggressive and disorientated, as you imagine a woman of her stature would be. allegedly she threw nurses against the wall and they injected her with a very strong anti—psychotic drug, and then they put the syringe driver in her back. it is like a pump. a pump, with the 40 it is like a pump. a pump, with the a0 mg of diamorphine and read as a

lamb, and they walked her. this was in the report, they walked her until she was done in and then they later in the bed and then they called the family, 23 hours after they started that. and academic studies death rates is concerned that this sort of problem could be replicated at a lower level at other hospitals within the nhs system. he is not talking anything like the scale of deaths that happened here in the 1990s, but he is saying there are still avoidable deaths taking place and that should change. professor sir brian jarman change. professor sir brianjarman has said that he had raised issues and concerns about mortality rates with the nhs and the department of health in the past and at times it seemed as though they have preferred not to know. it has been difficult for the whistle—blowers who have tried to draw attention to the problems, to get

their whistle—blowing heard and i've worked with a group of whistle—blowers who have said that basically, if you whistle—blow in the nhs you will be fired. so, ithink so, i think what comes through from these clips is that it's quite clear that there is at least a perception ofa that there is at least a perception of a culture which all too often looks after itself. there are big agencies mentioned in the report yesterday where there are more concerned about how they appear to the outside world and preserving their own appearance of integrity than addressing the very real problems that have been brought to them and that culture, says this report, has to change. thank you very much for that, richard. and just to let you know that in the next half hour i will be speaking to the daughter and granddaughter of gladys richards, who died at gosport

war memorial hospital. there have been celebrations in new zealand, where prime minister, jacinda ardern has given birth to a baby girl. the news was made public on social media by her partner, clarke gayford, with this photo. the baby girl's name hasn't been made public yet, but we know she weighed around 7lbs 3 ounces — and, according to clarke, everyone is happy and healthy. ms ardern is only the second world leader to give birth while in office — the first was pakistan's benazir bhutto in 1990. our correspondent hywel griffith joins me now from sydney. i don't know about benazir bhutto, but is just and are doing to i don't know about benazir bhutto, but isjust and are doing to be i don't know about benazir bhutto, but is just and are doing to be the first leader to take maternity leave ? she is taking six weeks. it is a big celebration. it is almost like a

proud moment for every kiwi, that they can have a system that allows they can have a system that allows the prime minister to give birth, ta ke the prime minister to give birth, take some time away and then for her partner to take over and be the main caregiver for partner to take over and be the main caregiverfor her to go partner to take over and be the main caregiver for her to go back to work. so as the former minister treated, it is a modern image of equality and something they are very proud of. how proud are new zealanders of the fa ct how proud are new zealanders of the fact that he will be taking over childcare when she has taken maternity? it is incredibly progressive? during her pregnancy, just and i play it down a little bit, saying that thousands and millions of other mothers and families do. during the pregnancy, she was working right up until yesterday and her partner posted some pictures of her going through the papers, dispatches,

signing documents. she did hi nova —— she did handover the reinsjust hours before driving to hospital. it was an 11th hour labour before giving birth but she says during the six weeks of maternity leave, she will be contactable at all times. i guess she will be up in the middle of the night fairly often. i guess she will. today marks the summer solstice — the longest day of the year. as is tradition, crowds gathered before dawn at stonehenge in south—west england to celebrate, cheering and dancing as the sun rose through the ancient stones. also known as midsummer, the event has long been associated with the pagan religion, celebrated for thousands of years. let's get the weather. here's simon king. hello. it is a bit fresher compared to yesterday but for the summer solstice, some summer weather. look at the clouds in the sky in

wakefield, typical summer fair weather cloud. the cumulus cloud in the sky and we've got lots of that across the uk. it bit more cloud across the uk. it bit more cloud across the uk. it bit more cloud across the far north—east of scotla nd across the far north—east of scotland where you have the longest daylight, 19 hours of sunshine. elsewhere it will stay dry. still quite a breeze out there, particularly in the far north—east of scotland, coming in from the north—west. that will bring the fresher feel to the weather compared to the last few days with temperatures in the south—east down on what were yesterday. elsewhere those temperatures up into the high teens. through this evening we have the wind easing and gradually and with lots of clear skies, it will turn quite chilly into friday morning with temperatures down into single figures. after the chilly start, if you are up early there will be lots of sunshine. more sunshine compared to today. dry and temperatures up by a few degrees. more in half an hour. this is bbc news —

our latest headlines: the brutal murder of an iraqi asylum seeker motivated by racism, was entirely avoidable a report says. the home secretary is to reveal more details about the settlement scheme for eu citizens who want to stay in the uk after brexit. calls for doctors to be held to account from the relatives of those whose lives were shortened at gosport war memorial hospital. fears for the future of child migrants already separated from their parents as they entered the united states, after president trump orders an end to the policy after a furious backlash. jacinda ardern gives birth a baby girl — becoming only the second world leader to have a baby while in office. time for the sport with hugh woozencroft. good morning.

time for a look at what is going on at the world cup. england's players are back in training after a relaxing, day off with family and friends or in seeing the sights in st petersburg. the manager gareth southgate suffered a dislocated shoulder while out running yesterday but looked in good spirits today in repino, where david 0rnstein has been keeping an eye on things. in terms of the players themselves, 22 are training today. the player missing is delhi ali who is suffering from a thigh strain. he went for a scan. he is recuperating

while the rest of the 22 players train. they hope for no further injuries. they train today and tomorrow and behind closed doors tomorrow and behind closed doors tomorrow and behind closed doors tomorrow and then on saturday before flying in the afternoon and then on sunday, they played panama. if england win that match they are on the verge of qualifying for the last 16. it depends what happens in the belgian, tunisia game on saturday and then england will know what they have to do to progress. well the former england midfielder leon 0smanjoins me now. 0ne eagle eyed photographer snapped gareth southgate's nodes and and marcus rashford could replace raheem sterling, what could he bring? he

has come in and done fantastically well. he has showed great pace and determination. he really wants to prove himself on the field. you have seen bat in his performances under way they both came on the last game. ruben loftus—cheek, maybe not the name everybody thought would be in the squad but he had a great impact of the bunch. is gareth southgate looking for goals against panama? he will be looking for goals regardless. as a substitute all you can go on is performed to the best of your ability. and the next time the manager is picking a team you have given him a few questions to answer. as i said it was a great performance. i would give raheem sterling another go and i would play marcus rashford. we are looking for pace against panama and for people to get into spaces as well. as i mentioned, it is great the

substitutes are having an impact for england at the moment and we hope it will continue. we will talk about yesterday's games. portugal were in action, we are looking at harry kane, but he might have competition for the golden boot from ronaldo. every time he is out on the field he looks like he will get another goal. credit to him, he scores all different types of goals. we knew him years ago as a winger who drifted into spaces. now he has become a main centre forward who goes and scores goals. portugal won the euro is a couple of years ago, not because of him but largely through him and he is determined to make it happen again. 85 international goals. it is one more accolade to what has been a great careerfor

accolade to what has been a great career for cristiano ronaldo?m accolade to what has been a great career for cristiano ronaldo? it is a great achievement, he continues to d efy a great achievement, he continues to defy what people expect. i don't think he has finished, i think he will continue to score goals over the next few seasons. 0k, thank you for joining the next few seasons. 0k, thank you forjoining us as we build up to the later games for england. we're going to go to st petersburg now where our reporterjohn bennett is at brazil training. john, one of the teams we haven't seen the best of, what is the mood like in theircamp? seen the best of, what is the mood like in their camp? that is about name. 0n like in their camp? that is about name. on sunday he became the fouled player in the last 20 years of world cup history. he missed training on monday and then in a training session on tuesday he had to leave after 15 minutes because of an ankle injury. that set of concerns for the whole of the brazilian public at home. on wednesday he did take part

inafull training home. on wednesday he did take part in a full training session and he said he was fine but we will find out more today whether neymar will be able to play against costa rica. they need him, they need to wear because serbia have control of the group. john, thanks so much for joining us from st petersburg. well, after ronaldo's exploits on wednesday, today sees lionel messi's opportunity to grab the headlines again. his argentina side, will hope to improve, on their draw against iceland. they play croatia at 7pm, and you can follow that game on bbc one. the games involving dennmark and australia, and france and peru can be found on radio five live and bbc sport website. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. news coming in and more details on

the home secretary's announcement on the home secretary's announcement on the settlement scheme for people who wa nt to the settlement scheme for people who want to stay in the uk at the brexit. he said the government's default position would be to grant status for eu nationals living in the uk as quickly as the government can. he told the lords eu justice committee, there would have to be a good reason not to grant status, for example a serious criminal conviction or providing false information about their identity. sajid javid said there would be two types of status granted. settled status for those who have lived in the uk for five years or more and pre—settled status for those who have been in the uk for than five yea rs. we have have been in the uk for than five years. we have learned the scheme is to go into operation online and via a smartphone app. sajid javid said it will be as simple as people can reasonably expect and he said applicants would typically already

have a relationship with the government, through paying tax or through the department for work and pensions and the system for deciding their status would be linked with those records. as we get more detail about what sajid javid has been saying, we will bring it to you. relatives of the more than a50 people whose lives were shortened by the inappropriate use of powerful pain killers at gosport war memorial hospital are calling for a doctor who presided over the regime to face criminal charges. a report has found there was an "institutionalised regime" of giving "dangerous doses' of painkillers that weren't needed. the report concluded there was a disregard for human life and a culture of shortening the lives of a large number of patients. the prime minister, theresa may, apologised for the length of time it's taken. lesley o'brien is the daughter of gladys richards who was a patient at the war memorial hospital in gosport and peta bermingham is gladys' granddaughter. we appreciate both of you coming to

talk to us today. obviously a motion is still very raw after yesterday. tell us about your mum, first of all. good morning. my mother fell and broke her leg on the 29th of july, 1998 and was admitted to the royal naval hospital in gaza port. she had an operation the following day and progressed really well. within ten days she was walking with a zimmerframe, within ten days she was walking with a zimmer frame, having within ten days she was walking with a zimmerframe, having normal three meals a day, had not required any pain relief and it was decided she should be admitted for readmitted to gosport war memorial. having done very well initially in a different hospital, once your grandmother was admitted to gosport, things changed?

yes, she was admitted on the 11th andi yes, she was admitted on the 11th and i was told not to visit because it was better she had 2a hours to get settled. however, i did go in the afternoon and i was unable to wa ke the afternoon and i was unable to wake my mother. i was told she was sleeping. i waited several hours and then a care assistant came in and said they gave your mother something earlier. so i waited and i saw the staff nurse and she said, you don't need to know what it is. i said yes ido, and need to know what it is. i said yes i do, and she said we have given her pain relief. i waited until 1030 p.m. pain relief. i waited until 1030 pm. and she woke up and had a drink. she was on that painkiller for the first few days. peta, can you hear me at this point? yes, i can. how much of the report have you

learnt? a lot of the truth was reported yesterday and the already knew that from our enquiries over the years. what we didn't realise was quite the extent of how wide this was. we knew 120 families were involved. we knew because the investigation took longer and things we re investigation took longer and things were being uncovered and we were grateful for that. what we did know is the numbers had gone up, 456. hampshire police say they want to ta ke hampshire police say they want to take time to consider this report in detail. will you and the other relatives be absolutely adamant now in your pursuit of a criminal investigation? we will be adamant in

our pursuit. we want in—depth investigation that considers all of the evidence. from yesterday, what are you appreciate is the families prefer hampshire constabulary don't ta ke prefer hampshire constabulary don't take too much time to consider the report and an investigation is dealt with by another police force.“ report and an investigation is dealt with by another police force. if it is hampshire who take forward any investigation, would you be unhappy about that, do you want this to be an outside force in order for about that, do you want this to be an outside force in orderfor any investigation to have credibility? absolutely. i made a complaint to the hospital while my mother was still alive. after she died five days later, my sister and i went to gosport police where we were dismissed. neither of us made state m e nts dismissed. neither of us made statements and it wasn't followed through. i would statements and it wasn't followed through. iwould be statements and it wasn't followed through. i would be very happy, in fa ct i through. i would be very happy, in fact i think it is going to be another force that takes over the further enquiry that is necessary.” think it is worth remembering as

well, my mother and my aunts, who made the complaint to the police in 1988 of the two troublemakers, referred to explicitly in police notes and reported again within that report yesterday. thank you both very much for talking to us and we wish you well. thank you. thank you. breaking news, greg hands has been appointed minister of a in the department... i beg your pardon, thatis department... i beg your pardon, that is not the information i want to bring you. greg hands, the conservative mp for chelsea and fulham has stepped down and resigned over the heathrow row. he hasjust treated, as the government will be whipping the vote on monday, this means i will be resigning from the government. it has been an honour to serve the prime minister and her predecessor for the last seven years andi predecessor for the last seven years and i wish the prime minister and the government every continuing success. you can see on his twitter

feed he is talking about a letter he has written to the prime minister about how he would honour the last general election pledges he made to the people of chelsea and fulham. vote against the heathrow third ru nway vote against the heathrow third runway on monday. he was minister for international trade, previously. so greg hands, resigning from the government. probably a headache theresa may could do without. we often talk about the possible challenges or opportunities that brexit might bring for businesses, but how might it affect education? the government is now trying to reassure universities and colleges by guaranteeing the rights of european students already studying in the uk after we leave the eu. our business presenter, ben thomson has been at a further education college to find out more. you might wonder why i'm surrounded by cars? but we've nipped inside here,

one of the big training facilities they've got at leeds city college. they talk about all sorts of mechanic work, engineering work. take a look at this one as well, and 1951 javelin. originally made just eight miles down the road from here so restoring classic cars as well, one of the courses they offer. but you are right, what happens to all the funding universities and colleges get after brexit? bill is one of the bosses here, nice to see you. places like this take a lot of money to run, you've got a great facility here. it's fantastic. colleges and universities get a lot of money from europe, nearly £1 billion in the country, what does it mean, what does brexit mean for you? it's a relatively small amount of money we receive from the eu, nevertheless it is incredibly important and without it it would make us struggle to maintain facilities as high—quality as this. and there's so many different issues related to it, visas for students, it is about access to funding and there's also that skills gap. what you are doing here is teaching really practical vocational skills.

are you worried that we won't have the right skills as a country? iam. eu migrants undertake a huge amount of skilled labour in this country, but then again we see an opportunity for britain, brexit, for the fe sector where we can train the existing workforce in the skills shortage area such as digital engineering, where we are and other skills shortage areas in the leeds in the leeds city region and in the country more widely. it is a tough one. for now, thank you. we will talk more a little later. you heard about some of the challenges, let me introduce you to some of the students. good morning to you all. tara, let me start with you because you are one of the students here. you are worried about what could happen, explain why? i want to do hair and make up on sets so it's going to be hard to travel to other countries, especially if we leave the eu, i can't go into europe where it would just be safe for me to go. does that mean your career options

could be limited ? does that mean your career options could be limited? yes. marcus, what do you want to do and what worries you? i am interested in the technical side of live events all over the world. getting to them and setting up events in different countries will be a lot harder because of this. obviously, if you are freelance as a technician it will be hard to get work overseas because of visas and green cards and stuff like that. you look after the work experience and the placement programmes, two very worried students, it is fair to say. it is access to the vocational training and finding the jobs? that is why the erasmus programme is so important because it gives them opportunities to go out and try and see if they want to work abroad or wa nt see if they want to work abroad or want to continue in their sector as well. it is a fantastic opportunity, which will be such a shame if we use

it. let me introduce you to jack. the challenge of cause is all of this uncertainty, these places are businesses, they need to have certainty about what happens, but there is non—rushed you might the question is, what will happen in 2020? will students from the eu get access to the student loans? there isn't a question they will be allowed to come here and study a university but will they be able to get loa ns to university but will they be able to get loans to cover the tuition fees and the maintenance costs? if they cannot, will students from europe be able to find £30,000 to come to the uk when they could probably go to germany for free or france where it is not very much. they will have options and the question is if they wa nt to options and the question is if they want to come to the uk and pay all that money, but also whether they will get visas, have to pay a lot of money to go through the process and currently it is free. i think they wa nt currently it is free. i think they want a bit of clarity. clarity is

the real question. those are some of the real question. those are some of the issues, it is about clarity, it is about visas and skills but also about finding somewhere to do those jobs. a lot of uncertainty for those places. also that the students and the teachers that are here. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc newsroom live: the murder of an iraqi asylum seeker was motivated by racism and entirely avoidable, a safeguarding report has found. the home secretary is to reveal more details about the settlement scheme for eu citizens who want to stay in the uk after brexit. relatives of those whose lives were shortened by the inappropriate use of powerful pain killers at gosport war memorial hospital, are calling for a doctor, who presided over the regime, to face criminal charges. in the business news this morning...

i'm vishala sri-pathma - in the business news... public sector borrowing fell to £5 billion in may, a £2 billion drop from a year earlier and the lowest annual level of borrowing in 11 years. the fall was bigger than expected and brings borrowing for the financial year to date to £11.8 billion, which is £a.1 billion less than in the same period in 2017. the chancellor is to announce today that taxes will have to rise to cover the costs of increased spending on the nhs. philip hammond will say that any increases will be done in a "fair and balanced way". and dixons carphone has reported a big fall in annual profits as the retailer admits that it had "plenty of work to do" in revamping its business. good morning, welcome to the

business news. more now on dixons carphone pre—tax profits for the year to the end of april fell to £382 million, from £500 million a year earlier. it employs more than a2,000 people in eight countries, it issued two profit warnings last year and a further one earlier this year amid a slowdown in sales of new mobile handsets. in its latest results, the firm also reiterated that it expected profits to fall again in the current financial year, maintaining its profit guidance for 2018—19 at about £300 million. and it's also set to close 92 of its more than 700 stores. what's gone so wrong? joining us now is catherine shuttleworth, chief executive officer and founder, of savvy marketing. it means 88% of us have smartphones and we're not replacing them on the

same frequency we used to do. that means we haven't got the need to go into dixons carphone and replace the phone and also by other things from them. we can do a lot with them now and there is no improvement that is coming out so we are not going in their stores very often. it isn't just phones they sell? they sell accessories and electrical goods. baby boomers are slowing down their spending and they have been the target shoppers and the new shoppers coming on our spending more time online. they may go into a dixons carphone and get their information but then they will go online and maybe not buy from their website but from an alternative website and sales are going elsewhere. they have got to do a lot of work to connect the dots up and make sure people buy from them and not anyone else. they

are not the only retailer to experience problems, a lot of it is adapting to a new digital market. is that the key, or is it a competitive market and electrical goods and one of the things amazon started to sell when it first came out? it is an enormous and competitive marketplace. they have got to work ona number of marketplace. they have got to work on a number of things. they have got to make sure their experience in the stores is right and their online experience is right. also they have got to rethink how many shops they needin got to rethink how many shops they need in the uk market and how they will serve customers moving forward. they have got a big battle on their hands. thank you very much for joining us. ftse 100 holding only a sliver of a lead this morning. european markets have been drifting lower this morning as trade fears persist, the european union announcing a raft of tariffs on us goods due to come

into effect tomorrow. and that is it from me. let's get more on this greg hands resignation. 0ur political correspondent, vicki young is at westminster. yes, another government resignation. the government said it will be pushing ahead with that third runway. at the time, theresa may wrote a letter to mps and ministers saying you can speak out at your local media about your objections if you have a track record of campaigning against the third runway but you will not be able to talk against it in the house of commons. there has been speculation about

what would happen to mps, cabinet ministers who are against it. greg hands is the mp for full and chelsea in south—west london, which will be directly affected with more flights going over that constituency. he has said because the government is going to effectively forced its mps to back a third runway he has resigned his post as an international trade minister. he has been in government for seven years, so a long—standing former cabinet minister and now minister, said because of his objections to heathrow, he's going to resign. the question still remains about boris johnson to resign. the question still remains about borisjohnson who famously said he would lay in front of bulldozers to stop the work happening at heathrow. he, it turns out is going to be in luxembourg at an eu foreign affairs meeting on monday when this boat happens. some would say, it is rather convenient. vicky young, thank you very much. the headlines are coming up on the

bbc news channel. in a moment we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two but first let's look at the weather forecast with simon king. it was fresh first thing this morning. we have had lots of sunshine this morning and we have got sunshine at the moment. clear, blue skies in central london. in leicestershire, fairweather and cloud in the sky this morning. as we go through this afternoon there will be lots of change. plenty of sunny spells, that is what we have got up the minute. a bit more cloud in scotla nd the minute. a bit more cloud in scotland which is producing more rain this afternoon. elsewhere, dry with the sunshine. even though it is fresh compared to yesterday with a quiet breeze out there, especially in the north east is where we could

see gusts of up to 50 miles an hour. despite the breeze, if you have got some shelter away from the breeze and in the sunshine it will feel pleasa nt and in the sunshine it will feel pleasant despite temperatures being 21 degrees in the south—east and about 18 degrees further north. this evening the wind will ease away and with lengthily clear spells it will turn chilly quite quickly and into the early hours of friday morning, temperatures will be down into single figures. in rural areas of scotland, temperatures could be as low as three or a degrees. holding onto double figures in the capital. 0n onto double figures in the capital. on friday, a chilly start but there will be lots of sunshine and for england and wales we will have blue skies from dawn until dusk. very little cloud in the sky. more cloud the scotland making the sunshine ten hazy. temperatures up by eddie grey

also, about 17 to 22 degrees. into the weekend, we have this big area of high pressure and that is becoming firmly anchored across the uk. when you have high pressure like this during the summer months it means there will be very little change in the weather. so for the weekend it will be drive for most of us, going to be some sunshine and it is going to warm up as well. let's look at the temperatures as we go through the weekend, looking at the temperatures in the 20s, even mid to high 20s by sunday. into next week, we will keep the dry and settled weather. more in the way of sunshine to come. most bridges will continue to come. most bridges will continue to rise. —— those temperatures. from mid to later in the week, those temperatures up into the mid—20s to the higher 20s, perhaps a couple of locations reaching 30 or 31 celsius.

soa locations reaching 30 or 31 celsius. so a heatwave coming up. hearn this is bbc news — and these are the top stories developing at midday. the home secretary spells out the requirements for eu citizens who want to stay in the uk after brexit. you need to prove your identity, you need to prove that you live in the uk and you need to prove that you have no serious criminal convictions. the conservative minister, greg hands, resigns from the government, in order to vote against plans for a third runway at heathrow. the brutal murder of an iraqi asylum seeker — motivated by racism — was entirely avoidable, a report says. calls for doctors to be held to account from the relatives of those whose lives were shortened at gosport war memorial hospital. let's have no more delay. let them stand up and say, we were wrong, we didn't support you and now

all of your concerns have been substantiated and this needs to go to a criminal court and it needs to happen fast. also, a first baby for the new zealand prime minister. jacinda ardern gives birth a baby girl — becoming only the second world leader to have a baby while in office. good afternoon. it's june 21st. welcome to bbc newsroom live. the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the system for allowing eu nationals to stay in the uk after brexit will be as simple as can reasonably be expected. he told a lords committee that the aim would be to make decisions as quickly as possible,

and that those who had been living here for five years or more would get "settled" status. he will be giving more details to mps within the next hour. let's look at who's affected and what we know so far. this affects the 3.8 million eu citizens in the uk and the 900,000 uk citizens in the eu. the home office has already provided some details of the uk's scheme to allow them to stay. eu citizens who have been in the country for five years by the end of 2020, the end of the brexit transition period, will be able to apply for "settled status", which means they can work and live in the uk. if they haven't been here for five years, they'll be able to apply to stay until they reach that threshold, and can then seek settled status. let's get more details from our assistant political editor norman smith. since we spoke, more detail emerging

from sajid javid, including how this will operate online and via a smartphone app, but not every smartphone. not if you have an apple iphone. there are problems with downloading the app, which will allow applicants to get their passport digitally red. if you have an apple iphone there seems to be a problem, which does highlight the complexity of the scheme, even though the aim today is to reassure eu migrants this will be a straightforward and easy—to—use scheme which can be completed swiftly online. he said that officials would process it within a couple of weeks and there will be no need to send in any documentation, such as tax certificates or anything like that. and a very market change from the current system where people

have had to fill in these extraordinary convex forms, 80 pages and more, and send in loads of documentation to prove they were in the uk over the past five years. he has also gone some way to acknowledge the real anxiety amongst many eu migrants about whether the home office is up to this because the home office will have to process potentially around 3.5 million applications, because that is the number of eu migrants within the uk, within two and a half years. that is a massive undertaking and understandably there are fears, particularly in the wake of the windrush scandal, about whether the home office can actually deliver this. sajid javid today sought to reassure migrants there would be no repeat, he said, the windrush scandal. that they have learnt the lesson. have listen to him setting out the nuts and bolts of how the new scheme will work.

we have set out to put in place a scheme that i think is going to be as simple as people could reasonably expect. we will have three key steps. an individual will be asked, so, it will be very much an online scheme, through your own pc or your own personal mobile device. you will be able to access the website or download an app immediately it will ask three key steps, which will be the need to prove your identity, that, numbertwo, the need to prove your identity, that, number two, that you live in the uk, prove that you actually live in the uk, and numberthree, that you have no serious criminal convictions. a couple of other things i thought interesting— sajid javid acknowledged there was a challenging culture in the home office when it came to enforcing immigration rules, and he gave a sense ofjust the

scale of the administrative challenge the home office now faces, talking about doubling the size of home office staff responsible for processing this sort of eu application. i also thought it interesting that part of his message of reassurance to eu migrants was, look, i am the son of immigrants and i understand what concerns you. in other words, trust me, i will get this right. and, norman, what about news of the resignation of greg hands? it is over heathrow airport. clearly, the mp for fun and chelsea —— forfull clearly, the mp for fun and chelsea —— for full and chelsea clearly, the mp for fun and chelsea —— forfull and chelsea has clearly, the mp for fun and chelsea —— for full and chelsea has very grave concerns regarding a third runway. he was clear in his election lectures just —— election literature that he would vote against. theresa

may has allowed government ministers some slack in terms of speaking out against the third runway if they have a long—standing or constituency issue with heathrow. mr hands has decided that isn't enough for him but now there are questions about the position of warrenj bjohnson of the foreign office because he has been vocal in campaigning against a third runway. come the vote on monday, he will conveniently be out of the country at a meeting of eu foreign ministers, but only in luxembourg. i suspect the question now will be to mrjohnson, your fellow minister, as a matter of honour, has resigned because he said he would campaign and vote against heathrow. you have said precisely the same. will you resign? norman, thank you very much. norman smith in westminster. the murder of an iraqi asylum seeker

was motivated by racism and entirely avoidable, a safeguarding report has found. kamel ahmed was stabbed more than 25 times by a paranoid schizophrenic — who was released from a secure hospital against the advice of a psychiatrist. jeffery barry mutilated the body of mr ahmad injuly 2016 hours after being released from a secure hospital. he was found guilty of the murder — which took place in the supported—living home in bristol where they both lived — last year. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has the details. jeffery barry and kamel ahmed both had mental health problems and stayed in separate flats in the same sheltered housing complex in bristol. however, over the four years that they were living in the same building, jeffery barry developed an obsession with kamel ahmed. today's report says that between 2013 and 2016 there were at least six incidents between them. those included jeffery barry punching kamel ahmed on at least two occasions as well as a racially aggravated assault. however, all of those incidents, it says today, were

seen through the prism ofjeffery barry's mental health conditions. they weren't seen as being motivated by racism, which is how they should have been, says today's report. jeffery barry, it says, is a racist with mental health issues, rather than a mentally unwell man whose racism is a manifestation of his illness. had the incident been viewed through the prism of racism, then the two men would have been separated. beyond that, there was actually more errors in the days leading up to the actual murder itself. jeffery barry, in 2016, had been detained under the mental health act. he appealed against that decision. a mental health tribunal was called. it was not given the full background of jeffery barry's mental health conditions, his many years of violent mental health conduct and it decided to release him, against the advice of at least two psychiatrists and against the advice of jeffery barry's own brother. that then lead to more failures.

the person who was meant to be in charge of planning his discharge didn't get the work done quickly enough so the sheltered housing complex was only given a few hours notice that he would be returning. they didn't want him back and considered launching some legal action, but they ran out of time. so what they did was to contact all the residents they could and warned them that he was returning. unfortunately, they were unable to get a hold of kamel ahmed. that dayjeffery barry was released he went on to drink a litre of rum. at 1:30am onjuly the 7th, he contacted his mental health crisis team and told them he wanted to punch an asian. half an hour later, they called the police nonemergency number and told them of the contents of the call. relatives of the more than a50 people whose lives were shortened by the inappropriate use of powerful pain killers at gosport war memorial hospital are calling for a doctor

who presided over the regime to face criminal charges. a report found there was an "institutionalised regime" of giving "dangerous doses" of painkillers that weren't needed and concluded there was a disregard for human life. our correspondent richard lister has been following the story. he's in gosport and has the latest. hampshire police are very much the focus of the family ‘s anger now and there is clear pressure on them from many sides to reopen this investigation and pursue a line which eventually leads to criminal prosecutions. hampshire police have said they are studying this document and its indications very carefully and its indications very carefully and they won't be answering specific questions on aid for now. the chief co nsta ble questions on aid for now. the chief constable released a statement saying there does seem to be information in this report that they we re information in this report that they were not aware of when they conducted the three investigations

into complaints made by victims families over the past 20 years or so, but she said they are now working on a process that will now bring other agencies together so they can work out what the next steps should be. hampshire police are currently working on the assumption they need to take these next few steps slowly and there is also pressure on them to bring in another police force, someone not associated with this enquiry, to provide a more independent analysis and this investigation. the family stories are heartbreaking. this morning brigid reeves told victoria derbyshire of the moment she discovered from yesterday's report how her grand mother had died. when we received the report we realised the brutality of the way my grandmother had died, and it outlined she had got up on the 19th, as we know now that is because she had the equivalent of 135 grams of

morphine running through her body. they said she was aggressive and disoriented, as you would imagine a woman of her stature would be. she was a very slight lady. she allegedly threw nurses up against the wall. they pinned her to the floor and injected her with a very strong anti—psychotic drug and put the syringe driver into her back. it is like a pump. a pump with the a0 mg of medication, and then they walked out... this is what was in the report, they walked her until she was done in and they may later in the bed and then they called the family, and that was 23 hours after the family, and that was 23 hours after we started that. and academic studies death rates has expressed concern that this sort of problem could be replicated, at a lower level, in hospitals within the

nhs system. he is not funny about anything like the scale of deaths that happened here in the 1990s —— he is not talking about anything like the scale of deaths that happened here in the 1990s. professorjohn from imperial college in london said that he had raised issues and concerns about mortality rates with the nhs and department of health in the past and at times it seems as though the would prefer not to know. it has been difficult for whistle—blowers who have tried to draw attention to the problems to get their whistle—blowing heard. and i worked with a group of whistle—blowers who have said that basically, if you blow the whistle in the nhs you will be fired. i think what came through from these clips is it is quite clear there is at least a perception of a culture which all too often looks after

itself, there are big agencies mentioned in the report yesterday where they are more concerned about how they view to the outside world and preserving their own appearance of integrity than addressing the very real problems that have been brought to them and that culture, says this report, has to change. the president of the european commission jean—claude juncker has warned that there will be no brexit deal without an agreement on the irish border. mrjuncker has been holding talks in dublin with the taoiseach, leo varadkar, and the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier. let's cross to our ireland correspondent emma va rdy. if we didn't know it already, we've got a very strong sense from the news co nfe re nce got a very strong sense from the news conference which they held that certainly ireland and the rest of the eu have each other‘s backs. absolutely. i think that was the whole purpose of this visit. michel barnier, chief negotiator and president of the commission came

here exactly for that purpose, to put the focus back on the continuing disagreement over the irish border ahead of the eu council meeting next week. that continued disagreement is about the backstop, something we have heard so much about. the way in which it will be resolved, and to make sure there is no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. if any free trade agreement doesn't go far enough to ensure there are no checks of goods crossing the border. at the moment the irish government says the uk proposals do not go far enough. they have proposed the whole of the uk would stay in a temporary customs arrangement with the eu at the end of the transition period. the irish government and the rest of the eu say it don't doesn't go far enough. there are concerns about rules and regulations, food safety, animal health regulation and things like that. they want the uk government to

go much further. and the president of the european commission said today, ireland won't be left alone in this. it is the eu's problem and not just ireland by in this. it is the eu's problem and notjust ireland by itself. we wanted to make it clear again and again that ireland is not alone. we have ireland backed by 26 member states and by the commission and this will not change. i am strongly against any temptation to try to isolate ireland and not to include ireland. ireland has to be part of the deal. there is a lot of frustration being expressed on the irish government and the eu task force on this. they have said, we have been pressing the government to focus on this deal, to come up with a better backstop for the irish border but in the meantime, the tory party has been negotiating within itself. they feel

there has been too much internal focus at westminster and not enough engagement on this issue. today was a message that they want the british government to do more work on this. the hope had been that they would have been more progress made by now, in time for the eu council meeting next week but they say this hasn't happened and it hasn't gone far enough. they are trying to increase the pressure on the government about this, and what is at stake is the entire withdrawal agreement. they are saying the irish backstop agreement isn't resolved satisfactorily, that could put the whole agreement in jeopardy. we get the feeling that as soon as theresa may solves one issue, we saw the withdrawal bill come through the commons last night, up pops another one. this is the continuing disagreement over the irish border. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the system for allowing eu nationals to stay in the uk after brexit, will be as simple as can reasonably be expected.

the conservative minister, greg hands, has resigned from the government, in order to vote against plans for a third runway at heathrow. the murder of an iraqi asylum seeker was motivated by racism and entirely avoidable, a safeguarding report has found. time for the sport with sarah mulkerrins. hello. let's start at the world cup because england players have trained this morning after a relaxing day off with family and friends in russia. the midfielder danny ali missed the session. the next session is against polymer. the manager gareth southgate is also injured, suffering a dislocated shoulder while out running yesterday. in good spirits today. david has been keeping an eye on things today.

in terms of the players themselves, there are 22 training today. ali is missing, suffering from a minor fight stretch. it seemed to trouble him throughout the game. he is recuperating at the hotel while the rest of the 22 training, hoping for no further injuries. they will be training today, tomorrow and then flying in the afternoon and then on sunday it is game day, the second match against penybanc. if england win, they are on the verge of qualifying for the knockout rounds. —— against panama. then england will know where they stand, what they have to do to progress. after reynaldo's exploits, it is all eyes on lionel messi today because his argentina side will hope to improve in their draw against iceland. they play croatia.

away from the world cup and enrich and is close to finalising his move from liverpool tojuventus. the germany international is expected to have a medical with the champions. his contract at anfield expires at the end of the month. chan made his last appearance at the defeat by real madrid. danny cipriani will make his first england start in ten years after being named for the third test against south africa in cape town this weekend. he replaces george ford, who dropped out of the 23 man squad. brad shields missing out through injury. joe marler will start the match.

backin start the match. back in action at queens. the british number one will try to do what andy murray couldn't do against australian nick kiri as. that match and all the other action can be followed from 1pm. grigor dimitrov and novak djokovic also in action. more in the next hour. thank you very much. president donald trump has ordered an end to the separation of migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. his administration's policy of "zero—tolerance" towards illegal immigration led to thousands of children being detained, away from their parents. but last night he signed an executive order bringing the policy to an end, as our washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue reports. this stretch of the rio grande in texas is where many tried to enter the united states. every week some drown in the attempt. those who make it face arrest and prosecution. it is at centres like this that adults and children were being separated,

leading to those now notorious images of children apparently housed in cages. the national and international outcry was in the end too much, even for president trump. he struck a defiant tone while doing his u—turn. so the democrats want open borders. let everybody come in. let everybody pour in, we don't care. let them come in from the middle east, let them come in from all over the place. we don't care. we're not going to let it happen. and, by the way, today i signed an executive order. we're going to keep families together, but the border is going to be just as tough as it has been. thousands of children have been separated from their parents in recent weeks, and no one really knows how long it will take to reunite them.

it's going to be a herculean task, if you will, because it's going to require a lot of transparency in finding out exactly where these children were separated from the families and where those parents are. the churches are often at the forefront of the immigrant welfare, but just hours after the stroke of the presidential pen, all denominations gathered in the rain to welcome the change of heart by the administration. everyone at this gathering will be glad the president has ended the separation of children from their parents, but they also know the policy of zero tolerance for people crossing the border illegally has not changed, and that could mean increasing numbers of adults and children in custody. let's speak to our state department correspondent barbara plett—usher who is on capitol hill for us. barbara, as gary wilson reflecting,

the heat got too much even for donald trump on this. but has this damaged him? yes, that's a good question. it is unusualfor him yes, that's a good question. it is unusual for him to completely reverse course like this. he had been saying all along that this was something he couldn't do, that congress had to make changes to the law and this was something the law was requiring him to do, and yet the images of these children in cages and separated from their parents just got too much for him so he had to completely reverse himself. we will see what sort of damage it does. his base, according to polls, show that they do support is tough immigration policies. the polls show that people didn't really support the way he handled this. as he saw there in the rally, he has not talked about his reversal at all, he

has talked about staying tough on the border. and trying to deflect blame elsewhere. let's talk about the children who have been separated from their parents. and the process of trying to reunite them with their families. obviously there is a huge amount of concern about this, about what the process is. the paper trail, if you like, in orderfor that to happen. i think there isn't a process in place yet, at least as far as this executive order goes. the executive order that stop this practice didn't talk about the children that had already been separated, the idea was they would be reunited with their pa rents they would be reunited with their parents when the detention was over, most likely when they were deported. there are questions about how smoothly that would go and federal officials weren't sure what the executive order would mean for those already separated. 0ne lead they

don't know if that would make a difference. another said they couldn't say that for sure and they we re couldn't say that for sure and they were awaiting guidance. we know that some of the children have been taken and put in other parts of the country. it is complicated and it is not clear how that will work. thank you, barbara. the bank of england has left interest rates unchanged at 0.5% but in a surprise move its chief economist andy haldane joined the minority of policymakers in calling for the rate to rise now. we can get more details now from our economics editor kamal ahmed who is at the bank of england for us. does that mean an actual interest rate rise is much closer? i think it probably does. it is a surprise, as you suggested, the chief economist, the man who is the bank's expert on the economy, has said that interest rates should rise immediately. the mdc, the

organisation that sets the interest rates on behalf of the bank of england, has got nine members and the split is now six members, led by the split is now six members, led by the governor of the bank of england, mark carney, saying no rate rise now. the other three members say we do need one. it means that the bank is pretty bullish on the economy, thinking it has bounced back from that pretty miserable performance in the first three months of the year, affected by the weather and some other factors, and secondly that the august rate rise is now more likely than was initially expected. that doesn't mean definitely. the nbc doesn't mean definitely. the nbc doesn't really deal indefinite. —— deal indefinite. in june doesn't really deal indefinite. —— deal indefinite. injune 2017, when there was a split, the rates then went up the following november. if

things are bouncing back, i now think august is looking more likely than people expected. should the average consumer take this as forward guidance that rates could be going up imminently? yes, i think that is probably what viewers can take out of what the organisation has said today. the bank didn't really focus on many of the negatives about the economy. it said that household spending was improving, the momentum in the economy was improving and the bank uses interest rates to bring some of that momentum out of the economy because that is a way of controlling inflation, price rises. ithink because that is a way of controlling inflation, price rises. i think that is the signal. it doesn't definitely mean the next meeting in august will see them definitely raise interest rates but it suggests you august or november, this year, there will be an interest rates rise. there have been

celebrations in new zealand where prime ministerjacinda ardern has given birth to a baby girl. the news was made public on social media by her partner, clarke gayford, with this photo. the baby girl's name hasn't been made public yet — but we know she weighed around 7lb3 and, according to clarke, everyone is happy and healthy. ms ardern is only the second world leader to give birth while in office — the first was pakistan's benazir bhutto in 1990. let's get the weather forecast. it is summer solstice. the longest day and a bright day for most of us. but not quite as warm as it has been. but that is only temporary as we head towards next week, those temperatures will head upwards again. but we have a keen breeze making it feel cooler. patchy

cloud and spells of sunshine. the odd spot of rain in sports of scotla nd odd spot of rain in sports of scotland and temperatures at best, 16 to 21 degrees. a lovely evening to enjoy the sunset. 0nce 16 to 21 degrees. a lovely evening to enjoy the sunset. once the sun goes down those temperatures will bit. you can see these green shades spreading across the temperature charts. towns and cities down into single digits and sunspots in the countryside getting down to three or 4 countryside getting down to three or a degrees. coulston art tomorrow morning but a bright start. it will bea morning but a bright start. it will be a beautiful day. more cloud across the northern half of scotland. still breezy here and not as windy elsewhere. temperatures nudging up by eddie grey or so and temperatures continue to climb through the weekend and into next weekend. sunspots could hit 30. this is bbc newsroom live, our latest headlines: the home secretary spells out the requirements for eu

citizens who want to stay in the uk after brexit. the trade minister, greg hands, resigns from the government over plans for a third runway at heathrow. the brutal murder of an iraqi asylum seeker motivated by racism was entirely avoidable, a report says. calls for doctors to be held to account from the relatives of those whose lives were shortened at gosport war memorial hospital. let's get more on our top story. the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the system for allowing eu nationals to stay in the uk after brexit will be as simple as can reasonably be expected. he will be giving more details to mps shortly. let's discuss this with two people who are keen to hear about the uk's plans. with me is nicolas hatton of the3million,

which campaigns on behalf of eu citizens in the uk. and i'm alsojoined from berlin byjane golding, from british in europe — a campaign group working on behalf of uk citizens living in the eu. a very warm welcome to both of you. nicolas, i know you have looked over the details of what the government has announced so far but do you feel it is less of a bargaining chip because you previously said that is what it felt like? it is very welcome we have more certainty about the rules. people have been waiting for two years for some certainty. we wa nt to for two years for some certainty. we want to know what the condition will be to stay. it will be very real when people can start to apply and we have been told it will be in the autumn. it has been two years, it has been too long and people have

had been worried. sajid javid said it would be a very good reason not to grant status. a serious criminal conviction or providing false information about one's identity. is that as almost as good as a guarantee? almost as good but there are 3.6 million european citizens in the country. it won't be easy to make them apply. there will be worries people will need to fill in forms they might not be able to because it is digital. trusting the home office is at the heart of this and the windrush and the issues of the rejections of permanent residence applications, about 30%, means eu citizens are wary of the home office. this will take time and effort before it is actually finalised. trust that the home office at the heart of this for you

and we will come back in more detail with that. jane golding, in europe. i know you felt this information is coming through quite late in the day in terms of what you, as a uk citizen, living in the eu needs to know. from the detail you have seen so far, what do you make of what the government is saying? the government is saying other eu countries have not given it enough detail on what your rights will be? obviously we welcome the fact the government is putting this back on the table and they are supporting our rights and as kingi eu 27 to give them detail on the procedures that will apply. vat registration detail is important. but at the same time, we have to make it clear there are

registration systems already in the eu 27.50 registration systems already in the eu 27. so in this case it is a question of how those will be extended and tweaked to apply to others and that is the question the government needs to be asking at this stage. you think the government is asking the wrong questions of eu counterparts? i think we do, apart from perhaps in france, in all other eu 27 countries, there are registration systems. what we want is the existing system to be simply tweaked and extended. we don't want a new system to be applied and that option only became available in the december agreement. that is what we wa nt december agreement. that is what we want the uk to be pushing for, we keep the existing system. if they are serious about our rights, we would urge theresa may to put continuing free movement to us back on the table. it is critical for our

members. that trust in the home office been crucial to you, nicholas, talking about windrush and administrative problems. we have heard from sajid javid already the scheme will operate online and via a smartphone at. but we have heard there are issues for anybody with an apple iphone and the government are trying to sort it out. somebody with an iphone will be able to use this app, so is it a an iphone will be able to use this app, so is ita red an iphone will be able to use this app, so is it a red flag for you in terms there might be administrative problems with this scheme? recently we have seen what happened with universal credit and the roll—out of the forms. they want people to apply easily but the system might fail it. if it happens, what will happen to those who cannot register before 2021? the question is, the hostile

environment is basically biting eu citizens already now. it means if you are not documented, you cannot open a bank account, you cannot get employed and you cannot get a flat, for example. you are feeling that hostile environment? yes, it could lead to deportation. 5001 eu citizens were deported in 2017, so it is happening already. if the scheme doesn't work, we want to make sure we are not the next windrush. not the bargaining chip and you have still got your badge on. jane, a final thought from you. on that issue of how you feel with this process continuing, do you feel differently as a uk citizen in an eu country? do you feel any sense of hostility? not at all. i live in germany, i feel no sense of

hostility, we have had meetings with the government, we have had meetings with the berlin government and they have said to us, we see are duty to protect german citizens in the uk, butjust as much, british citizens living in germany. you don't feel like you will be used as a bargaining chip? i wouldn't say that because at the level of the negotiations, i think we all feel as if we are bargaining chips. obviously, once the negotiations started, we were thrown in with all the other issues and that point you can't avoid being a bargaining chip. 0k,jane golding can't avoid being a bargaining chip. 0k, jane golding from british in europe and nicholas hatton, thank you very much. a former star of the reality tv show love island, sophie gradon,

has died at the age of 32. northumbria police say ms gradon's body was found at her home in newcastle. there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances. sophie gradon, who appeared on the 2016 series of the itv2 dating show, was crowned miss newcastle and miss great britain in 2009. organisers say they are "shocked beyond belief" by her death. taxes will rise to pay for increased health spending, chancellor phillip hammond is expected to confirm when he delivers his annual mansion house speech later. he'll say the cost of the £20 billion funding package, announced by theresa may, will be met by taxpayers in a "fair and balanced way", as jon donnison reports. in the week the prime minister pledged an extra £20 billion of nhs funding, tonight we'll get some indication of how the government intends to pay for it. and the chancellor, philip hammond, is expected to say that taxes will have to rise as he gives his annual mansion house speech on the state of the uk economy.

he is expected to say that any increases will be fair and balanced, to support the nhs we all use. this could put at risk the conservative party's manifesto pledge last year that there was a firm intention to reduce taxes. and in an early draft of the speech released overnight by the treasury, there is no mention of the so—called brexit dividend that theresa may said could be used to pay part of an increased nhs bill. economist have said they dismissed the idea that there will be a dividend from leaving the european union, arguing that cost to the economy outweigh any reduction in payments to the eu. jon donnison, bbc news. aid workers at one of the world's biggest and most respected foreign aid organisation have been accused by whistle—blowers of sexual misconduct. speaking to the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire programme, eight former employees

of medecins sans frontiers, said aid workers who were working on missions in kenya and other african countries had used local prostitutes. 0ne whistle—blower said a senior member of staff said it was possible to barter sex for medication with girls whose parents had died of ebola. they also described a culture of endemic sexism in the organisation. msf says it does not tolerate abuse, harassment or exploitation and that the use of prostitutes is banned by msf under its strict code of conduct. anna adams has the exclusive story. medecins sans frontieres is one of the biggest foreign aid agencies in the world. it brings vital medical supplies and clinicians to incredibly dangerous countries. but we've spoken to people who say some aid workers exploited vulnerable women. we've spent months talking to women who used to work at medecins sans frontieres and they've all told us very similar stories. we've heard accounts of endemic bullying, misogyny and sexism inside the organisation, and in some cases even the use

of prostitutes in the field. this investigation is not about the doctors or nurses. we're told it was some of the logistical staff who were abusing their power. a whistle—blower from london told us what she saw when she was sent to kenya. there was a senior member of staff who was bringing girls back to the msf house. obviously, i couldn't know for certain that they were having sexual relationships, but it was implicit that they were. these girls were very young, and they were rumoured to be prostitutes. it was difficult for people to challenge him, because he was quite senior. we met another whistle—blower in europe. she told us a senior member of staff had said it was possible to barter sex for medication with women who were getting medical aid. he said "it's so easy to barter medication with these easy girls in liberia". he was suggesting that lots of the young girls who'd lost their parents to the ebola crisis, that they would do anything sexual in exchange for medication. and had he been there himself?

yes, he had. in fact, he bragged about it quite a lot. to say it in front of three or four people who were there and to say it to me very directly, what's this all about? it was impossible for us to verify this claim because the whistle—blower was not in liberia at the time. when we put this to msf, they said they needed more information to investigate. another source who worked with msf in africa said the use of local sex workers was widespread. there was this older colleague who actually moved a woman into the compound. he was in his 50s. she was a lot, lot younger. it was pretty obvious that she was a prostitute, but he called her his girlfriend. i saw one of my colleagues and he'd gone into the toilet with a local prostitute. i knew her to talk to because she worked in one of the bars. she told me they'd had sex, and that he'd paid her.

we've seen an internal report that shows that msf were looking into harassment claims back in 2016. the report showed a third of female employees they'd spoken to said they had been touched inappropriately at work. and they sacked 19 staff for sexual harassment last year alone. msf said they had reviewed their files, but couldn't find any records of the claims against the london office. they said they were saddened to hear the allegations, but hoped more people might now come forward. anna adams with that report. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the system for allowing eu nationals to stay in the uk after brexit, will be as simple as can reasonably be expected. the conservative minister, greg hands, has resigned from the government, in order to vote against plans for a third runway at heathrow. the murder of an iraqi asylum seeker

was motivated by racism and entirely avoidable, a safeguarding report has found. holyrood's standards committee has recommended that former minister mark mcdonald be suspended from the scottish parliament without pay for one month after an investigation by scotland's public ethics watchdog. the committee agreed that mr mcdonald breached the code of conduct for msps by failing to treat one woman with respect and that his conduct towards her "involved sexual harassment". turkey holds parliamentary and presidential elections this sunday and the polls suggest president erdogan's ak party could lose its parliamentary majority. kurdish minority votes could be decisive, and so it all depends on how the pro—kurdish hdp party fares. selin girit has travelled across turkey from hakkari in the east to edirne in the west and send this report.

life is not easy in this remote village high up in the mountains of south—eastern turkey. these residents say the government has made it even harderfor them to vote in their village. but now their polling station has been moved 17 kilometres away. the government says it is to protect a ballot from kurdish militants. translation: some of us can't afford to travel. some of us are poor. some are too old to embark on the journey but even if we had to carry them on our backs, we are going to vote. not only here, but in 19 kurdish cities, polling stations have been moved or merged. the opposition says votes could be rigged and voters intimidated. the only way out the village into the town centre is through a checkpoint and once you're in town you see a heavy

police presence everywhere. under a state of emergency, turkey faces one of its tightest elections in years and every vote counts and kurds could end up as kingmakers. when the ceasefire with the kurdish pkk militants ended in 2015, curfews were declared in several cities and major military we are going straight to the house of commons where caroline nokes is talking about granting status to eu nationals living in the uk post—brexit. nationals living in the uk post-brexit. eu citizens living in the uk along with their family members will be able to stay and continue their lives here with the same continue their lives here with the sa m e a ccess continue their lives here with the same access to work, study, benefits and public services they enjoy now. close family members living overseas will be able to join them here in the future. eu citizens make a huge contribution to our economy and to

our way of life. they are friends, family and colleagues and we want them to stay. i am therefore delighted to be publishing further details about the eu settlement scheme. this will provide the basis for eu citizens resident here and theirfamily for eu citizens resident here and their family members, to for eu citizens resident here and theirfamily members, to obtain theirfamily members, to obtain their new uk immigration status, consistent with the draft withdrawal agreement. i will place in the house library, a statement of intent, setting out in detail how the scheme will work and how simple and straightforward it will be. the document includes a draft of the immigration rules for the scheme. we will engage with stakeholders set out on the statements of intent and these include user groups we have established to help us develop the scheme involving eu representatives, embassies, employers and others. we look forward to hearing their views and we will make improvements where we can. it will be straightforward

for eu citizens residing in the uk to obtain status. if they have lived here continuously for five years they will be eligible for settled status. those who have lived here for less than five years would generally be granted pre—settled status and be able to apply for settled status once they reach the five—year point. applicants will not need to show they meet the detailed requirements of current free movement rules. this means that stay at home parents, retired people and stu d e nts at home parents, retired people and students can be eligible. irish citizens and a right of residence in the uk that is not reliant on our membership of the eu. the government is committed to protecting these rights and is working closely with ireland to maintain these bilateral arrangements for our respective citizens. irish citizens will not need to apply for status under the scheme, but may elect to do so, if they wish. their family members who are not irish citizens are british citizens will be able to obtain

status under the scheme about the irish citizen doing so. the agreement on citizens' rights with the non—eu economic area states and switzerland are progressing. whilst the details of those agreements are being finalised, the state of intent confirms we intend the settlement scheme will be open to other eea citizens and two swiss citizens and theirfamily citizens and two swiss citizens and their family members on a citizens and two swiss citizens and theirfamily members on a similar basis as for eu citizens. the scheme, set out in the statement of intent will deliver on our commitments to a straightforward process. we are designing the online application form so it is short, simple and user—friendly. it will be axel sjoberg by computer, tablet or smartphone. there will be assistance available for those who need it, to com plete available for those who need it, to complete the process and the views of the user group on the support but may be needed by vulnerable groups, will help to ensure we make the right additional provision for them

to the involvement of community groups and others. there will be three, core criteria people would need to meet to be granted status under the eu settlement scheme. proving their identity, showing they are resident in the uk and declaring whether they have criminal convictions. first, applicants will need to prove their identity and nationality. for those who wish to com plete nationality. for those who wish to complete the application entirely online, there will be an apt to allow eu citizens to confirm the details remotely ideas in their own mobile phone or tablet or at an established location or be helped to do so. alternatively they can send identity documents by post and a dedicated team will check this and return it to them as soon as possible. second we will establish the applicant is resident in the uk and where appropriate, their family relationship to an eligible eu citizen. where possible, the

application process will help the applicant to establish their continuous residence here and if it amounts to five years generally required for settled status. on an automated basis, using employment and benefit records. this will keep any documentary evidence the applicant requires, to a minimum. we understand applicants lack such evidence for various reasons and we will help applicants. third, we will check the applicant isn't a serious or persistent criminal and does not pose a security threat. it is right we have to do what is needed to protect everyone who lives in the uk. we are not concerned with minor offences and these provisions will not affect the overwhelming majority of eu citizens and their family members. throughout the process will be looking to grants, not for

reasons to refuse and caseworkers will be able to exercise discretion in favour of the applicant, where appropriate, to minimise administrative burdens. friendly guidance and support, including a customer contact centre will be in place to help applicants through the process. subject to parliamentary consideration to the fees regulations, applications will cost £65 with a reduced fee of £32 50 for children under 16. there will be no fee for children in care. the process will be particularly straightforward for those who already hold a valid, permanent resident or an indefinite leave to remain document, which they will be able to swap for settled status free of charge. those granted pre—settled status will be able to apply for settled status without paying a further fee. settled status without paying a furtherfee. eu settled status without paying a further fee. eu citizens settled status without paying a furtherfee. eu citizens and settled status without paying a further fee. eu citizens and their family members do not need to do

anything immediately. there will be no change to their current rights until the end of the post—exit implementation period on the 31st of december 20 20. the deadline for application under the scheme will be the 30th of june application under the scheme will be the 30th ofjune 20 21. we plan to start opening the settlement scheme later this year. i do not underestimate the scale of the challenge in successfully processing what may exceed 3.5 million applications. but the home office already issues around 7 million passports and 3 million visas each year. processing applications on the scale required is not new to us. studio: caroline nokes saying he usesis studio: caroline nokes saying he uses is and is living in the uk who wish to continue to do so and apply for settled status need to meet three core criteria, proving their identity, showing they are resident

in the uk and declaring if they have any criminal convictions. much more on that throughout the day here on the bbc news channel. in a moment it will be big news at one with jane hill, but first let's look at the summer solstice weather. good afternoon. temperatures have taken a temporary tumble. 20 degrees. those temperatures will climb over the next few days and by next week, sunspots are likely to hit 30 degrees. but for the time being we are stuck in relatively cool air being we are stuck in relatively coolairand being we are stuck in relatively cool air and with a keen north—easterly breeze. we pushed back to the east as we go through the weekend and by next week, there will be these orange colours across the country. that will allow the temperatures to climb. 0n the cool side for most of us for what is left of this afternoon. breezy to the north—east, cloud and rain across the northern isles of scotland.

elsewhere, good spells of sunshine but those temperatures at best 16 to 21 degrees. this evening it will be fine, long spells of sunshine to be had and the sun will set pretty late. it is the summer solstice, the youngest day of the year. it will not set until after 10:30pm tonight and in london, 9:20 p:m.. plenty of evening sunshine but after the sun has gone down, the temperatures will dip away. towns and cities down into single digits and the countryside, some areas might go down to three or 4 some areas might go down to three or a degrees. a fairly cool start to friday but a bright start and lots of sunshine to be had. in northern scotla nd of sunshine to be had. in northern scotland they will see more cloud but still fairly breezy here and maybe the odd spot of rain. elsewhere, the breeze not as strong as it has been today and those temperatures higher, 17 to 22 degrees. those temperatures continuing to climb into the

weekend. high—pressure nudging closer to our shores. a weak frontal system to the law so cloud and outbreaks of rain across the north of scotland. still fairly breezy here and elsewhere are a lot of sunshine to be had. but sunshine might turn hazy and temperatures a couple of degrees higher, 2a degrees in the south. 0n couple of degrees higher, 2a degrees in the south. on sunday, high pressure is likely to be parked on top of the british isles, lots of sunshine and generally light winds. sea breezes likely to develop, making it cooler closer to the coast but coming inland temperatures getting up to the mid—20s. eu citizens who want to stay in britain after brexit can apply to do so from this autumn, at a cost of £65 per adult. more than three and a half million people are expected to request settled status — the home secretary spells out what will be required. you'll need to prove your identity.

number two, that you live in the uk. proof that you actually live in the uk and number three that you have no serious criminal convictions. more details of the scheme arejust emerging, we'll have the latest from westminster. also this lunchtime: the murder of an iraqi asylum seeker was racist and avoidable — according to a new critical report. a health academic says the gosport hospital scandal could happen elsewhere — as relatives of some of those who died demand prosecutions.
