board will want that when on the board after celebrating in that argentina defeat as you saw there with richard. england are finalising their preparations for sunday's second match against panama. it looks like there will be no dele alli for england, who is nursing an injury. also when the team sheets seem to merge yesterday, on that, gareth southgate has said "it is up to the media if they want to highlight this, if they want to help the england team are not." harry starting to see a little strain in the relationship between the england camp and the media? —— so are we starting to see. but otherwise england preparations going well. they will hope to pick up their second win of the tournament on sunday. as for this match, it remained 0—0. sunday. as for this match, it remained 0-0. thank you, david ornstein there. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. if you like the weather warm and sunny, you will like this. things not changing a huge amount over the next few days. plenty more scenes like these, which is how it looked for a weather watcher on the north
1:31 pm
yorkshire cost earlier. similar story in norfolk and the daytime temperatures will only claim —— north yorkshire coast earlier. i've chosen birmingham just as an example. it shows as we get on into next week, temperatures will get up into the high 20s, perhaps 30 degrees. this may come as good news to some of you. the nights will not be particularly warm. not as chilly as they have been recently, but even in the next week, those night—time temperatures will better way, providing some relief from the heat. back to the here and now, though, the satellite picture shows we have had a lot of sunshine so far today. some extra cloud across scotland and northern ireland. northern ireland may catch a shower this afternoon. generally the wind is not as strong as yesterday and the temperatures just a little higher. lots of late sunshine to this evening. once the sun goes down it will again turn pretty cool. you can see a green colours spreading across our temperature chart. cities
1:32 pm
into single digits, 6—8, but in the countryside some spots could get to one, two, three degrees. quite it. if you are out and about on saturday but if you want your weekend fine and dry this is good news —— quite good news if you are out and about on saturday. further south, some areas of high cloud floating across the sky. sung—joon may be turning a bit hazy but i am clutching at straws. basically a nice looking day with some sunshine. temperatures nudging upwards, 2a degrees london. not such great news if you are a hay fever sufferer because high or very high pollen levels are just about across all parts of the country. looking ahead to sunday, more of the same. in the sunshine it will feel very warm indeed. strong sunshine as well, so bear that in mind is out and about for any length of time. looking closely, around the coasts the colours are a little lighter and
1:33 pm
we will start to see sea breezes developing, so coastal areas are little cooler, but we're looking at temperatures into the 20s, perhaps the mid—20s imports of the south. in the mid—20s imports of the south. in the next week, those temperatures only to climb into the mid—20s —— mid—20s in parts of the south. sunshine trip next week. ben roach, thank you. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. day nine of the world cup is under way and five time winners brazil are taking on costa rica in st petersburg. remember, brazil could only draw with switzerland in their opener and they're struggling
1:34 pm
to find their rhythm again. that was their best chance of the match so far against the central americans. and their goalkeeper keylor navas has kept neymar at bay on the few occasions the world's most expensive player has threatened. england manager gareth southgate has confirmed that dele alli is unlikely to play against panama on sunday, following a thigh strain picked up in the match with tunisia. the spurs midfielder has not returned to full training with the rest of the squad, but was seen yesterday training alone with one of the england medical team. southgate also brought up this. supposedly england's team sheet for sunday, spotted by an eagle—eyed photograper. he said... "if we were to give the opposition the opportunity of having our team it's obviously
1:35 pm
a disadvantage to us, so of course our media has to decide if they want to help the team or not." some signs of friction between the media and the england camp there. formula one hasn't visited france for ten years, but it returned today with a bang at paul ricard. first practice came to a premature end when marcus ericsson lost control of his sauber, which burst into flames after hitting the barrier. the swede was able to get out unharmed, although he'll miss second practice while his team set about repairing the damage. the track is unfamilar to all the drivers — it last hosted a grand prix in 1990. world champion lewis hamilton clocked the quickest time — a tenth of a second clear of his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas. marin cilic has become the first player through to the semi finals at queen's this afternoon. last year's wimbledon runner—up beat sam querrey in straight sets. novak djokovic and nick kygrios are also in quarterfinal action later this afternoon — coverage on bbc two.
1:36 pm
cilic looking very impressive so far today. and rory mcilroy goes into today's second round of the travelers championship just one stroke off the lead after round one. he carded a six—under—par 64 in connecticut having failed to make the cut at last week's us open. england's paul casey, who started his round on the tenth tee, shot a five—under 65, with the only blemish in his round coming at the fourth. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. 0-0 at 0—0 at the moment. that's all the sport by now. more now on the warning from airbus that the aerospace company could leave the uk in the event of a "no deal" brexit. airbus currently employs more than ili,000 people
1:37 pm
across 25 sites in the uk. earlier our business editor simonjack spoke to the senior vice president of airbus‘ uk operations — katherine bennett — about today's announcement. what is it exactly you're saying today, and how is it different from what you said before? today we've published a risk assessment memo, where airbus is laying out the huge concerns we'd have if there was a no deal brexit. we are very fearful there'll be chaos at the borders, and we want our factories to operate as smoothly as possible. how big is that threat? just give us an idea of how sensitive the production is to what goes on at the border. very sensitive. we have parts that move maybe two or three times across the border in order to build wings which get transferred to the eu. it's important that it is as frictionless as possible. why are you speaking up now? we have published this memo, we've been looking at the implications for many, many months since the referendum. we felt it was time to put
1:38 pm
on the table some hard facts about the true implications of this decision, if it was to go the wrong way. what are those implications? we are looking, potentially, at future investments across our sites, across this great country, which produces great aircraft, great satellites. we have the most productive people based in the uk from the whole of our european operation, and we want that to continue. the uk is an important home nation for airbus, but we have to say, to the people listening, that future investments will be under review. are they under review right now? what is being reviewed at the moment? it's over a period of some several months, or several years. we are a long—term industry. we have something is coming up over the summer but future investments. to be clear, what kind of clarity do you need for those investment decisions to go the right way for britain? we've been watching some of the proposals on the table, and let's just be clear here, it's notjust a matter for the uk government. we are calling on the eu 27 to be
1:39 pm
as supportive as possible. there are some clever ideas that have come up. we are working really closely with all parts of government to ensure they understand the implications for us. on that timescale, over the summer, you need more clarity, or the uk will start losing investment. maybe not so much losing investment, just making careful decisions about what we will do going into the future. this is very, very long—term decision—making. ourfactories are the most productive in europe, and long may they continue. you have a future, a wing for the future programme, when will those decisions start getting made? some of the work on that has already started. the key thing is how will that programme continue? there are two key parts to mention
1:40 pm
to you today, there is the frictionless border, the need to ensure that parts can move quickly, and deregulation, all our aircraft parts are certified. if there is a no deal brexit bad would not be a good situation, because our wings wouldn't be able to be delivered to make the following aircraft. our parts need to be certified. there are two key parts to mention to you today, there is the frictionless border, the need to ensure that parts can move quickly, and deregulation, all our aircraft we have a deal going up to 2020. what is your concern over that? that was meant to reassure business. hole we gave full support when that transition was announced. it is something ourselves and the cbi and
1:41 pm
other trade associations and other businesses have been calling for but that needs to be extended. we don't have a particular timeline in mind, but that still leaves to uncertainty. we are a very long—term business. the senior vice president of airbus‘ operations in the uk talking to simonjack. more needs to be done to listen to whistle—blowers when they raise concerns about the nhs, in the wake of the early deaths of hundreds of elderly people at a hospital in gosport. that‘s according to damejanet smith, who led the inquiry into the harold shipman case. she says some of the recommendations she made about how complaints should be handled still haven‘t been implemented. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says he‘s confident that checks are now in place. this is what damejanet had to say. it seems to me in the nhs that they close ranks when somebody seeks to criticise them. people who raise complaints, they‘re not treated as well as they should be.
1:42 pm
the complaints system... the recommendations i made in shipman have not been fully implemented. an extraordinary and bright teenager who suffered a brain injury at birth is likely to receive multi—million—pound damages from the nhs. becky tyler, from crawley in west sussex, has severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy. five years ago the 15—year—old, who communicates using advanced eye—gaze technology, asked her mother to find out what happened during her birth. their search revealed mistakes they never knew about contributed to her being starved of oxygen. earlier, becky and her mum told their story to chloe tilley on the victoria derbyshire programme. when she was born, she was very nearly stillborn. nobody was expecting that at all. everybody went into shock. it was quite a difficult time.
1:43 pm
becky was born with her on the umbilical cord around her neck, she was blue? around her neck three times and around her body once. she was navy blue. it was when becky was seven months old that you got a diagnosis? what did that do to you and your husband‘s and becky‘s world? when we first heard the words cerebral palsy, we did not know that much about it. we were shocked and devastated to start with. then as the news sank in i think we realised that it is the same baby we have known for the last seven months. we love becky. and having those words in her life would open the door for us to get some help. it wasn‘t something we needed to be down about.
1:44 pm
we wanted to see it as a positive thing in order to get help for becky. it's it‘s very rude with us sitting here talking about you. i want to speak to you. becky, tell us, what is it like to live with cerebral palsy? i cannot sit up on my own. i cannot stand up, balance, or walk. i find it hard to eat. and i cannot talk with my mouth, so i am using this communication aid with my eyes to help me speak. i have to find different ways of doing the things that you can do. i have to rely on my family and personal assistants to help me with everyday tasks, which can be very frustrating because i would rather be able to do things myself. getting out and about can be quite difficult in some places. many places are not
1:45 pm
accessible to me. it is hard to make friends because i cannot talk. some people talk to me like i am a baby, and assume i do not understand. i find i need to educate people about my disability and how i do things, so life is not easy for me. that‘s incredible. it must be so frustrating for becky. but at least this technology is phenomenal and it gives becky a way to communicate, which is so important. that‘s right. but it has fundamentally changed your family‘s life. you were a career woman and you have given that up to be a full—time carer for becky because she needs that. that‘s right. the technology has changed becky‘s life. it‘s the one thing she can do independently. it has opened the doors to allow her to communicate with us and tell us what she‘s thinking,
1:46 pm
but also ask questions about her own life, which enabled us to start the investigation as to really what happened at birth. had she never asked that question, we would have been none the wiser. and you can watch the full interview with becky tyler and her mum fiona by going to the victoria derbyshire programme website — that‘s at bbc.co.uk/victoria. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc news: the aerospace giant airbus threatens to pull out of the uk — if britain leaves the eu without a deal. from jeans to bourbon, the eu slaps import tariffs on a wide range of american goods, in retaliation for president trump‘s levies on european products. the jacket getting a lot of flack — the first lady‘s controversial clothing message — saying "i really don‘t care" has everyone asking,
1:47 pm
who‘s it aimed at? business news now. a warning from airbus. the european aircraft manufacturer says it could leave the uk because of the risks arising from brexit. the group says the warning was not "project fear" but dawning reality. airbus employs about ili,000 people at 25 different sites in the uk. the house of fraser rescue plan faces a vote this morning — creditors will be voting on a company voluntary arrangement proposed by management. the department store chain wants to shut 31 of its 59 shops and impose huge rent cuts on ten others that it intends to keep. the european union has introduced retaliatory tariffs on us goods as a top official launched a fresh attack on president donald trump‘s trade policy.
1:48 pm
the duties on £2.1i billion worth of us goods came into force today. tariffs have been imposed on products such as bourbon whiskey, motorcycles and orange juice. the uk maritime industry is concerned that they will be facing a growing shortage of skilled workers in the vital maritime sector despite forecasts that the global ocean economy is set to double in the next 12 years. they want the government to raise public awareness of the industry and encourage students to think aboutjobs in the merchant navy, royal navy, fishing fleets, ferries, cruise ships, workboats, ports, harbours, logistics, shipbuilding and financial services. sue terpilowski, chair of maritime uk‘s women‘s taskforce. shejoins me tell me why is this industry or this
1:49 pm
sector globally expanding so quickly in your estimation? it's about global trade. our industry moves about 95% of everything that comes in and out of the uk so therefore as we trade more then the industry is doing more and therefore that‘s why it‘s growing. doing more and therefore that‘s why it's growing. i thought long-term physical trade, actually shipping stuff around the world, was on something of a decline and going in the other direction because we‘re doing everything digitally nowadays. when i give a present to someone i give them something online rather than actually shipping it in from china. no, there's lots being made, lots of raw material coming into the country to make things. if you just think of a car, the number of parts coming in and out of the country, some might actually travelled two or three or ten times backwards and forwards before they are finished goods. there‘s lots of trade. it is not growing maybe as high as it was ten yea rs not growing maybe as high as it was ten years ago but is still on and. 0k, ten years ago but is still on and. ok, so what is our position in this global industry? how are we doing?
1:50 pm
not badly because we are an island nation and an island nation by nature has a lot of import and export and we are leading on things like autonomous shipping on al. so really exciting things which is why there are fantastic career opportunities for people to come into the industry. what do you mean by ai within this industry? what sort of thing does it do? artificial intelligence is doing a lot on the ships, predicting maintenance, when things are being done. it‘s in warehousing, you have warehouses empty of human beings but the backend stuff that is controlling all the data, analysing it, making sure it runs smartly is all that‘s happening. it‘s really exciting. sure it runs smartly is all that‘s happening. it's really exciting. so you don‘t need people who are shifting boxes, you need people who are making the computers that are going to tell the robots to shift the boxes. and to look at the data and analyses. some very high—paid jobs, highly paid jobs in the industry. that‘s what makes it so exciting for people to comment. but you are not getting people coming
1:51 pm
in. why not, and what are you going to do about it? unfortunately as a nation the c is all around us but we see blind. people don‘t realise the types of jobs see blind. people don‘t realise the types ofjobs they are. they are associated with dockers. there are vitaljobs associated with dockers. there are vital jobs that are associated with dockers. there are vitaljobs that are still really important. there are lots of other things happening which is why seafarers are having this week, there is a website they can go one, look at the types of jobs there is a website they can go one, look at the types ofjobs there are, and become involved in family that is exciting. you see it as safe airing —— you say it is a seafaring job but they don‘t go to the sea. but they connect with the sea. there isa but they connect with the sea. there is a balance there. i‘ve been on boats and land—based and there are a lot of opportunities to work together to make this maritime sector of hours leading sector going forward. we are really big in the uk and it could be one of our really good brexit successes if we get it right. does brexit make a difference? it will change some of the pattern is slightly but there is probably more opportunity for the industry going forward. thank you. let‘s take a look at some
1:52 pm
other business stories. dozens of carbon monoxide alarms sold via amazon and ebay have been taken offline after failing safety tests. consumer watchdog which? said some of the alarms seemed identical to ones that had failed tests in 2016. three of the unbranded devices, made in china, repeatedly failed to sound when carbon monoxide was present. eurozone countries have agreed a long—awaited debt relief deal for greece, which has been hailed as "historic". the deal gives athens more time to repay £85 billion worth of loans and extends a grace period during which greece will pay little or no interest. and opec has agreed, in principle, to raise oil supply by one million barrels per day. saudi arabia is expected to account for most of that raised output. but russia is likely to benefit as well. meetings in vienna will continue on saturday, when opec meets with its non—opec allies. let‘s look at the markets. bp as a
1:53 pm
result of that agreement are up almost 3%. the ftse looking fairly sharpish up at about i.25%. bae systems is very strongly connected with airbus. that‘s all the business news. after 630 migrants on board the aquarius migrant rescue ship were refused entry to italy, they were taken to valencia, nearly a thousand nautical miles away. italy‘s new government has since declared all ngo ships to be an illegal taxi service for migrants. with the aquarius now on its way back to libya, it‘s unclear what will happen if more migrants are rescued by the ship.
1:54 pm
our europe reporter gavin lee is onboard, and sent this update. well, this is the view from the deck of the migrant rescue ship the aquarius, a charity—run boat run by doctors without borders and sos mediterranee and it‘s been out at sea since wednesday afternoon from the port of valencia, going towards the libyan coast now and after an extraordinary week in which the italian government said no, the 630 migrants can‘t come ashore in sicily, and the interior minister matteo salvini said that they were not welcome in future ngo boats because they were effective taxi service for migrants. well, now this ship is going back out to sea and we‘ve already heard of another ship that had the same thing, the lifeline picking up migrants at sea, the italians saying no, as well. let me bring in antoine laurent, the operations manager for sos mediterranee. tell me about effectively what happens now and what happens next. those are the big question.
1:55 pm
right now we are proceeding back to the area where the distress are very high potential, so we‘re going to bring back the aquarius. it should be ready to rescue people in distress. can you explain what the effect would be of having to continually perhaps do the same journey you‘ve just made to the libyan coast, to valencia — 2,000 nautical miles, four—dayjourneys, can you feasibly cope continuing to operate if you had to like that? well, it‘s going to have consequences and huge consequences on the nature of what‘s currently in place in the central mediterranean sea. practically, there are rescue assets like us but also the italian ships we were together with to valencia will not be in the area very often. we are going to reduce the capacity on—board because we cannot sail for six days like we do put two days. we could take on maybe 150 people maximum.
1:56 pm
when you hear the italians say you are an effective taxi service for migrants, what would you say to that? of course we‘re not a taxi service, we are just here to provide an answer to the people in distress. people are unsafe at sea. their safety is not insured because there is no proper rescue capacity. ngos are here to fill a gap and provide a medical rescue service to those people in danger, that‘s all. nothing else. thank you for talking to us. at the moment the sea is reasonably calm. it‘s looking like it will be the early hours of sunday morning that this ship will arrive and once again the question will be, until there‘s a resolution agreed between european leaders, there‘s no sense of where the migrants could end up. just before the weather, a preview of a special guest appearance coming up with simon
1:57 pm

1:58 pm
temperatures will climb. i picked birmingham just as temperatures will climb. i picked birminghamjust as an temperatures will climb. i picked birmingham just as an example of what will go on next week. well into the high 20s, sunspots likely to get to 30. this might come as good news. night—time temperatures will stay relatively low. they will go up a bit but we‘re not expecting those warm and sultry nights we can get when we get these really want conditions, but back to the time being what we have on the satellite picture is cloud into scotland and northern ireland. as much as a shower across northern ireland this afternoon. the vast majority of places across the country dry with good spells of sunshine and temperatures are little bit higher than they were yesterday. the winds a bit lighter than yesterday. into this evening, lots of sunshine to enjoy. overnight once the sun goes down the temperatures will drop. you can see the green shades across our chart. the towns and cities will get down to eight or 9 degrees for the most part, but in the countryside some places just like last night, might get as low as one or 2 degrees. if a lot of early it will be chilly start but with high
1:59 pm
pressure firmly in charge of the scene, most can expect a beautiful day. there is one fly in the ointment if you live across the north of scotland, here you will see more cloud. some splashes offering through the day and a fair old breeze. further south, the winds will be lighter, we‘ll see long spells of sunshine. i cloud streaming across the sky at times, might turn that sunshine and a bit hazy. those temperatures continue to creep upwards. 17 degrees in edinburgh, 2a degrees the top temperature in london. pollen levels, if your hair fever sufferer, this is great news. —— if you are a hay fever sufferer. high or very high across the country tomorrow. in sunday and across northern scotland will have lost most of the cloud. just about all of us getting into the sunny skies. some patches of clouds developing through the day. if you‘re looking for something cooler, go to the coast. the shading on the post here is a bit lighter around the coastline, but inland, where you get deep oranges, most places up into the 20s, mid 20s likely down towards the south. i had
2:00 pm
