the latest later on. the aerospace giant airbus has warned it's uk operation could take flight if britain leaves the european union single market and customs union without a deal. the company, which employs 14 thousand people in britain, says if a transition agreement isn't reached, it could be catastrophic for its business. ministers say they don't expect that situation to arise. but they are under pressure to provide a clear vision for post—brexit trade. our business correspondent theo legett reports. this is airbus' supply chain in action. these huge transporters are used to carry aircraft wings from its factory in north wales, to assembly sites in france and germany. across the uk, it's involved in building passengerjets and military aircraft, defence systems and satellites. but company bosses say if we leave the eu without a deal, it would be catastrophic for the uk business. today we've published a risk assessment memo,

where airbus is laying out the huge concerns we'd have if there's a no deal brexit. we're very fearful there will be chaos at the borders and we want our factories to be able to operate as smoothly as possible. airbus employs 14,000 people in britain, at 25 sites across the country, but it says it supports another 110,000 jobs indirectly — at major suppliers, for example. it says it contributes nearly £8 billion to the uk economy and pays £1.7 billion a year in taxes. the problem for airbus is it relies on getting parts where it needs them, when it needs them. it says any change in customs procedures or safety approvals would be very damaging. leaderfigures in the aerospace industry agree. clearly, if we move to a point where this uncertainty continues, and the threat of a no deal brexit continues to grow, that is potentially catastrophic for our economy. the government says it doesn't expect to leave the eu

without a deal and is working with businesses to address their concerns. this pro—brexit economist says he is not worried. i think airbus itself has relatively low credibility on this, crying wolf about leaving in the past that the eu referendum and the euro, but nonetheless, there may well be some big relocations, however, we should expect there to be more activity coming in from the eu than going out, because the uk is a big net importer and net importers under the scenarios should expect to gain. as a company in which european government still holds significant shares, airbus does have a political role to play, but its managers insist their threats are not idle. they want guarantees there won't be a hard brexit and more time to get ready for the new reality. theo legett, bbc news. i want to bring you breaking news. house of fraser has been given

approval by creditors to close 31 stores. that will result in up to 6000 job losses. this is the chain that wanted to shut 3i 6000 job losses. this is the chain that wanted to shut 31 of its 59 shops and impose huge rent cuts on others that it intends to keep. 6000 jobs at risk, in a drastic attempt to save the chain from collapse. it would have faced administration, but that approval by creditors of the proposal to close 31 stores means it has some time. it will cost 6000 jobs. let's return to the story about airbus. joining me now rear admiral simon henley — president of the royal aeronautical society. he acted as a witness in the business, energy and industrial strategy select committee's report into brexit‘s impact on the industry. are airbus writing what they are saying or is there an element of scare mongering? —— are airbus right

in what they are saying. it is underlining the high level agreements of the customs union and sea mless agreements of the customs union and seamless trade. there are a number of detailed arrangements that support the uk participation in aerospace and transatlantic leave. all of those things will need to be renegotiated under the new terms of the membership of various eu bodies and the aerospace regulation community. none of those negotiations can start to take place at any detail until and unless we have decided the high—level principles. time for the detailed negotiations is now running out. the clock is ticking and they typically ta ke yea rs clock is ticking and they typically take years rather than months to negotiate. there are a lot of those agreements, all of which support our ability to supply parts into a and other manufacturers, and to export

items between countries to allow them to be embodied in aeroplanes. you talk about regulations and safety. easa, the european safety agency, is it a realistic threat or prospect that companies will be forced out of agencies like that? well, easa is a eu body, and in the event of a no deal, clearly we would not be part of easa unless something has been negotiated. that's something is what we are very concerned about in the aerospace sector, because we need to understand what that looks like, what shape and size it has, and then make sure that we can prepare our industries and prepare our communities for working in that new environment. what's more, we need to be very careful that we don't add an extra layer of bureaucracy by going through some form of independent certification. the aerospace industry is incredibly competitive

and very small changes in cost make and very small changes in cost make a big difference to whether you get chosen as a supplier. any added bureaucracy or delays add costs and will make uk industry much less competitive and less able to win contracts competitive and less able to win co ntra cts to competitive and less able to win contracts to supply two airbus, boeing and others. airbus says it does not want us to crash out of the eu. the british government would say the same. they have no plans to do so? that is true. but those are high—level statements which have been going on for some time now. what industry is looking for is the detailed negotiations that underline that. we have got to move forward beyond simple principles of we do not wish to crash out, and start negotiating the deals of what the new shape of business will look like. that means some fairly close definitions of exactly what part the uk plays and what relationship it

has with eu bodies. that needs to be negotiated, agreed and written down. the whole point of aerospace regulation in particular, and safety management, is that it does not work on principles, it works and detailed agreements which are detailed, signed and laid it down. that is how aerospace has to operate. it is a tough business, a very organised business. you are a former military man. iamjust business. you are a former military man. i am just wondering if there is a sense, if this was left out of the hands of politicians, things could have been done more quickly?” hands of politicians, things could have been done more quickly? i don't think i want to get drawn into the politics of it. i think our role as a society is to provide impartial advice to government and other bodies on what are the right things for the aerospace sector. getting into speculation about who might do what, i don't think that is

something we can do. very good of you tojoin us. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster alex, a lot of people are saying airbus has a point, and secondly could be followed by many other countries eu companies quite soon? this isn't the first voice from the business community that has made for a call for more certainty and clarity. it has sounded a warning about the implications brexit. this isa about the implications brexit. this is a significant contribution. firstly the scale, the number of people it employs, and the intervention it has made today. it seems to have emboldened those that have criticised the prime minister's approach to brexit. political opponents and those in her own party who say she should think again about staying in the customs union and single market, and criticising what has been a long—standing government line that they would be prepared to walk away if the deal was not good

enough. that hasn't changed number 10's position. it still says the uk is leaving the single market, the customs union, and the prime minister will walk away if the deal is not what we want it to be. but that hasn't silenced the criticism. the first minister of wales has said they had been hearing warnings about they had been hearing warnings about the possible impact of brexit for months. he said this needs to be a wake—up call, this was echoed by nicola sturgeon. airbus' comments this morning really should act as a wake—up call. but it's also the tip of the iceberg. the comments and concerns that airbus have articulated today reflect the comments and concerns i'm hearing from businesses across scotland almost on a daily basisjust now. people are increasingly worried as the cliff edge looms and we still have no clarity. either about the future relationship, or even clarity and certainty about a transition period, given that some of the withdrawal issues have still to be resolved. if this doesn't act as a wake—up

call to the uk government, there's something seriously wrong. the only sensible option here is the single market and customs union membership. and the sooner that dawns on them, the better. theresa may is very clear that she is not going to change her position. downing street say they are making progress and are confident of getting a deal with brussels that would allow trade to remain as frictionless and free as possible, particularly for the aerospace industry. they are listening to business concerns. they point to the transition period that has been agreed, whereby terms of trade will remain largely the same for a period after brexit, saying that should provide some certainty. the problem is that there is increasing pressure on the prime minister to come up with real detail now on what trade relations might look like after brexit. in order to do that, she has to reconcile her divided party first and that is not easy. thank you very much. new eu tariffs on us imports will come into force in retaliation for american tariffs on european goods.

a range of products, from motorbikes to levi jeans, will now be subject to a levy of at least 25%. the president of the european commission jean—claude juncker says the eu will do whatever is necessary to safeguard its trade interests. 0ur europe correspondent, damian grammaticas gave us more details from a harley davidson showroom in brussels. at this harley—davidson showroom, this bike would set you back something like £25,000. the import duty on motorbikes is going to be 25%, so on the import price that will be £2,000 or £3,000. here they say they don't know exactly when the prices will be passed through but these tariffs will be hitting a lot of different goods. things like agricultural products, sweetcorn, cranberries, orange juice you mentioned, raw materials like steel and aluminium. other sorts of equipment, too. so cars, boats, medical equipment, all sorts of things. so expect prices to feel the impact. as you say,jean—claude juncker saying that this goes against logic and history because the eu

and the us are allies, now engaging in this trade conflict. the question for the eu will be, will the us now retaliate? the germans saying today they hope all of this will persuade america to sit down and start talking. no—one knows if that will be donald trump's reaction or whether things will escalate from here. but, of course, thing to remember, this matters notjust in europe, in the uk as well or anywhere in the eu currently will feel the impact of these new tariffs on any imports on that list. $2.8 billion of goods in the eu being targeted. back to the breaking news in the last half hour — that creditors have approved plans by house of fraser for dozens of store closures across the uk. our business correspondent, emma simpson is here.

this was pretty much expected, what happens now? it was expected, but still a make or break moment for house of fraser. they made a dramatic announcement a few weeks ago that this i69—year—old chain was going to shut 3i ago that this i69—year—old chain was going to shut 31 of its 51 stores and big rent cuts on others. this would put 6000 jobs on the line. the thing is, they need to get approval from their unsecured creditors for that deal to go ahead, through a process known as a cva, a company volu nta ry process known as a cva, a company voluntary arrangement. the deal was worth landlords, they needed 75% of the votes to go through, and that is what they have got. that now means that the rescue plan will go ahead. a pretty brutal rescue plan. it involves the loss of 6000 jobs.

a pretty brutal rescue plan. it involves the loss of 6000 jobsm is. very dramatic. but the alternative was a business that was on the brink of collapse. it has been losing money and sales for quite a long time. the company said, yes, it is a very difficult thing to do. it is terrible for the staff involved, but this is a necessary step in order to protect the long—term future of the business. look at the time what are we looking at? they announced store closures that would take effect by the early 2019 and rent cuts more immediate. it will take some time for the changes to go through. crucially, they got the approval today. thank you very much. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines... airbus threatens to pull out of the uk — if britain crashes out of the eu without a deal. from harley davidsons to jeans — the eu slaps import tariffs on a wide range of american goods in a tit—for—tat move

with president trump. the first lady's confidential us gas controversial clothing message asking who it was aimed at. brazil are struggling to get the better of their central american opponents. gareth southgate says dele alli is unlikely to play against panama following a thigh strain he picked up following a thigh strain he picked up against tunisia. and a lucky escape for eriksen. the crash brought first practice to an early end, but he was not hurt. i'll be back with more on those stores at 2:30. melania trump has been criticised for the coat she wore on her way to visit a child migrant detention centre in texas yesterday. as she left for her visit, journalists and photographers spotted writing on the back of the coat — which said "i really don't care, do you?". the first lady's spokeswoman said there was no hidden message in her choice of clothing.

0ur correspondent richard galpin considers now why she wore what she did. these pictures showing children locked in cages after being separated from their parents proved a tipping point in the campaign against president trump's hardline immigration policy. his wife, melania, apparently instrumental in the change of heart. yesterday, visiting the centre run by a charity which cares for children who have crossed the mexican border into texas with their families could but are now separated from them. but her compassion for the plight of the children thrown into doubt by this jacket which she wore on herjourney to and from texas. 0n the back is written "i really don't care, do u?". this provoking outrage. the actor mia farrow saying the message couldn't have been clearer and others were equally blunt. the white house, though, hit back.

her spokeswoman saying it was just a jacket, while the president claimed it was a message aimed at one of his favourite targets, the media. here, experts think the first lady is being used to bolster the president's core supporters. we have already seen more of the far right supporters saying yes, we like this, i can see the statement i really don't care and t—shirts at trump rallies but also we will see the media chasing her and pundits on fox news saying this is ridiculous, they are attacking melania are just a jacket she wore, it's superficial, she's a wonderful, caring person. a former model, she is known for making strong fashion statements when appearing in public. attending the state of the union address earlier this year, she wore this white trouser suit, drawing comparisons with what hillary clinton wore during the presidential election campaign. was this a subtle rebuke of her

husband, as allegations swirled of him having an affair with the porn star stormy daniels? finding the truth of why she wore this visit on a visit to children on the mexican border is very tricky but it certainly put her in the headlines. richard galpin, bbc news. the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall visited salisbury today to see how the city is recovering following the nerve agent attack in march. the couple's visit came after the city endured weeks of disruption as police investigated the poisoning of the former russian spy sergei skripal, and his daughter yulia. trade was severely affected for many local businesses joining us now from salisbury is stewart drake, a sales assistant who works next to the bench where the skripals were found. i have just i havejust done, i expect, the one thing you don't want us to do and keep referring to this, because it has really damaged business? well,

salisbury is getting back on its feet now. for the first 11 weeks it was very tough. we did struggle. but it does seem to be dragging on. hopefully it will be back to normal soon. i know you were having a chat with prince charles. what sort of things was he asking? yes, that was lovely. fancy prince charles coming in. that was very nice. we were very surprised. i never thought he would come and see us. lovely to see him. he came in and shook my hand. he was a very nice guy, to be honest. he asked how salisbury was recovering and how we were getting on as a business. he was very interested in how we were coping with the 11 weeks of closure. we did struggle for a while. we saw it through the bad times. hopefully now we will be strongerfor it times. hopefully now we will be stronger for it and the general public will come back and we will all be back to normal. is there an

a cce pta nce all be back to normal. is there an acceptance that there is nothing anybody could have done? it was such anybody could have done? it was such a unique event and nobody could possibly know what the result was going to be? absolutely. it wasjust unprecedented. nobody knew how to handle what was going on. we understand why things did take the time that they did. something like this has never happened before. things had to be done the right way. there was no point doing things with a half measure, because if things did go wrong in future people could lose their lives, in the worst case. so, ithink lose their lives, in the worst case. so, i think things were done the right way. i was pleased it was done the right way. luckily we are back to normal now. salisbury, one of our country's most famous cities, recently one of the most infamous. is there an argument for making something out of this and putting on

a tourist trail something? don't think that is going to help. we have had the odd tourist that has come around wanting to have photos of them sitting on the bench of where it all happened. but ijust think put it in the background and move on now. it was never a great thing that happened. i don't think we should dwell on the fact that it happened. just learn from mistakes, really. have you been able to put a cost, personally, on what this whole thing has done to your business? we are still adding up the figures. we are still adding up the figures. we have lost between £12,000 and £15,000 a week. it has affected as immensely. 0ur owner had to dig deep in his pockets to keep the business afloat. it was getting to the point where if it had gone on much longer we would have been closed down. there were no two ways about it. that would have been a great loss to

salisbury, because we have been here for 30 years, and we are more of an institution now. everybody knows us by name, bmr textiles, and they love us. it would have been a catastrophe if bmr closed. great city, great weather, calls for optimism now? absolutely. salisbury is flying. people are coming back. there was a short period where people were a bit hesitant. i would say scared, there was never a point where anybody was in danger. now, i think everybody is coming back. they can see what a great city salisbury is and what it has to offer for everyone. there is something here for everybody to come and visit. a lovely place. great to talk to you and all the best for the future. thank you for your time. you're welcome, thank you. goodbye. a service of thanksgiving has been taking place at westminster abbey to mark 70 years since hundreds of caribbean migrants disembarked from the empire windrush, to help rebuild post—war britain. the government continues to face

criticism, after it emerged that some of the windrush generation had wrongly faced deportation. our community affairs correspondent adina campbell reports. newsreel: seeing the arrival of more than 400 happy jamaicans. they've come to seek work in britain, and are ready and willing to do any kind ofjob that will help the mother land... they were welcomed into the uk with hopes of prosperity. nearly 500 caribbean migrants were on board the empire windrush, which docked at tilbury in essex on the 22nd ofjune, 19118. beautiful — those were the days. one of them who made thatjourney 70 years ago was alford gardner. he's lived in leeds for most of his life. but that wasn't his intention. he's still here at the age of 92. i did not know it would be long—term. the plan was just come to england, a good job, work for four, five years, go back,

rear five children and watch my vineyards grow! but it wasn't to be. but in five years, i started a family, married, had bought my house, working hard, settled down. empire windrush marks the beginning of british post—war immigration, and the right to remain was supposed to be legally guaranteed, but changes to uk immigration laws, and problems with paperwork, have blighted the lives of some caribbean migrants and their children. the scale of the windrush scandal first came to light in april earlier this year. if a human being wants to move from one place to another to feed their family, to reunite with their family... ..when those affected started sharing their stories of being denied access to health care, losing their homes and jobs, and even being detained. glenda was born in dominica and came to the uk as a baby in the 19605. she never got a british passport, and lost herjob a few months ago

because she couldn't prove legal status. so many years down the line, we are faced with this — the ship to me, the windrush, it seems to me as if we were just slaves being brought over here. to be punished later on in life, and that's the way that i feel. today's thanksgiving service at westminster abbey has been commemorating the valuable contribution of caribbean migrants and their families, but after a turbulent few months the windrush scandal has, and continues to, cast a dark shadow. 0ur soft and furry friend is on his way, and we will be cheering from basil brush! here is ben rich. boom boom! we are going to talk about heatwave. is it a heatwave? we will

get onto that, but i will show you nice pictures of what is happening today. this is scarborough. how did that get in there! i fox you with that one. a fun fact about foxes, a bit like yourself, they will eatjust about anything. apparently! the team of researchers, that is the only fun factor about a fox we can find. the only other picture was one from the winter? this one is in the snow. let's go back to the heatwave, everybody is talking about how it will be really warm next week. we have high temperatures. we are probably not going to break any records. the highest dune temperature recorded was close to 36 degrees in london, back in 1957. if you remember? no, i don't! i know

what was coming next. you remember? no, i don't! i know what was coming nextlj you remember? no, i don't! i know what was coming next. i wasn't going to do that, you think so little of me. northern ireland got to 31. 33 in wales. we're not going to get those records. what is a heatwave? i know that you were asking me yesterday. we thought we would answer. the world meteorological organisation, there are a lot of different interpretations of what it is, but the real standard on this say that to get a heatwave we need temperatures 5 degrees above average in the daytime for five consecutive days. the average temperature for june, depending on where you are in the country, it is 15—20. it looks like that is what we are going to do as we go into next week. this is just birmingham. this is an example in the middle of the country. look at how the tablet is going to sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. 28! easily, it could get to 30. it does persist. that

definition of a heatwave, it does look like pretty much all parts of the country will see that. we were talking about this yesterday, people with gardens, they know that the lawn is very dry. you were saying there was not a worry about an imminent drought? it is hard to talk about that, these things can change very quickly. a lot of the water we rely on in this country is stocked up rely on in this country is stocked up over the wintertime. to getan idea of how close we are to a drought situation, the environment agency and others will be crunching those numbers and looking at how the water stocks are now. obviously this persistent dry weather is not going to help. it looks like it will stay dry enough until the end ofjune. what happens then is open to question but high pressure will never be far away. one of the other downsides can be the difficulty of sleeping at night. night—time

temperatures have been very low. even into next week, the temperatures rise but they don't get especially high. the warm, sleepless nights may not be a problem in this particular heatwave. we get the best of everything! what about the next few days? it is dry and sunny. see how many times i say those words next two and a half minutes. we have cloud in northern areas and also some rogue states left on the forecast, i do not know how long they will be left, but then as we go through the evening and tonight, clear skies across the country, as the temperatures drop away, it will get quite cool out there. towns and cities well down into single digits, and out in the countryside we might get down to a couple of degrees.

saturday, nice looking start to the weekend, high pressure in charge, one frontal system skipping across the north of scotland which will bring outbreaks of rain, and more in the way of cloud. through saturday, plenty of sunshine, the extra cloud in northern parts of scotland with the god spot the frame. —— the odd spot of rain. high pollen levels something to bear in mind if suffer from hay fever. more sunshine on sunday across all parts of the country. if you are looking for relief from the heat, go to the coast. temperatures will go well into the 20s inland. even northern areas into the 20s. looking further ahead, confirmation, mid—to high 20s and some places will get close to 30. plenty more details to the rest

of the afternoon. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. downing street has said it is confident of a good brexit deal after european aircraft maker airbus warned that it could pull out of the uk, risking thousands of jobs, if britain crashes out of the eu without a deal. from motorbikes to levi jeans — the eu has slapped import tariffs on a wide range of american goods in a tit—for—tat move with president trump. creditors have approved plans by house of fraser for dozens of store closures across the uk, which could lead to 6,000 job losses. theresa may and london mayor sadiq khan have attended a thanksgiving ceremony at westminster abbey in london to mark 70 years since the empire windrush docked. sport now on afternoon live with tim hague. brazil into the second half against costa rica. it is all going on at the moment. the referee has gone over to the var

to check a penalty. the five—time winners brazil in a bit of bother. it is well into the second half. they drew with switzerland and they are feeling frustrated once again. celso borges has had the best chance of the match so far for costa rica. and their goalkeeper keylor navas has kept neymar at bay on the few occasions the world's most expensive player has threatened. i was going to say neymar has the chance of a penalty but it has been overturned. 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. england's team sheet for sunday, was, of course,

spotted yesterday by an eagle eyed photograper and it's been talked about at the latest england press co nfe re nce . here's kyle walker. if you try to keep it to yourself and don't bring it out to the world because this won't help us in the later stages of the competition, because all the rest of the world have seen our team, if that is it, or not but you guys have got to deal little bit so we can help each other. and be a bit polite. he has a point. but there we go. and now to tennis. quarterfinals at queens. 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. looking really good. the croatian football tea m

looking really good. the croatian football team doing well and so is marin cilic. novak djokovic is also in quarterfinal action later this afternoon. the man who's beaten kyle edmund and andy murray at queens this year is on court. the australian nick kyrgios is playing feliciano lopez. the match is live over on bbc 2 right now. they are into the tie—break in the first set. not much to separate them at the moment. nick kyrgios could serve out for the opening set in a moment. 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.

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 10th tee, shot a five—under 65, with the only blemish in his round coming at the fourth. and finally we hear of many fans making arduous journeys to watch their team at the world cup. cancelled flights and long road trips the norm. although there may be longer road trips than switzerland to russia — few will have taken as much time. especially when your mode of transport is a tractor. beat studer rumbled into kaliningrad after a 12 dayjourney from lucerne to watch switzerland against serbia later on. that's all the sport for now.

ican i can see you in a tractor, simon. there's no answer to that! he has one of the most recognisable faces in show business — and this week basil brush is celebrating 50 years in entertainment. since its launch in 1968 the basil brush show has been seen by millions of viewers all over the world and he's still going. a little earlier he popped into the studio. you don't look 50. thank you very much. medard eu, although you are much. medard eu, although you are much older than the. —— neither do you, although you are much older than that. the honour is all mine, mr mccoy, and i used to be a big fan of yours in star trek. that wasn't me. you have that other wonderful career as a jockey, you were so good. that wasn't me. oh, who are you then? oh, so you are simon

mccoy. the real mccoy. boom boom! . can we talk about your career for a moment. it took me all week to think of that. 50 years, what were the highlights? the beginning is always a good highlight some of the very first episode, 50 years ago last week. me and rodney bewes were there, couple of unlikely lads. live programmes with a live studio audience, we were there to begin the basil brush show and the rest is history. one of the greatest highlights was actually leading lady di because became so huge, but i was invited to meet her and wheels and harry —— william and harry. maybe they could be asking me back on their programme. they and seven. lady di was delightful to me. she

made me a cup of tea. it was like being in someone's rather grand front room and then hosting a birthday party. i think the time is right for a return to kensington palace and meet the other kiddie winkles in there at the moment.“ they are watching. this is a news programme and you get your news from the papers. what has caught your eye? often there is too much bad news in the news, and i want to lighten things up and find those and finally items, and the first thing that caught my eye was this little raccoon. i'm a fan of raccoons because i watched guardians of the galaxy and rocky raccoon is in that. the fact is. this raccoons has climbed up the side of this building and we are all very impressed with that because we can't do that.

spider—man can do that, tom holland. but this little raccoon, you know what he got when he went to the top? dog food. with sleeping tablets. hewelt be doing that again because they chucked him back in the woods that he won't for top i was impressed that the raccoon got to the top. what about the world cup? who is going to win? we had that tiger predicting who is going to win the world cup but i'm rather pleased that some of those big teams are not doing so well. argentina got a good kicking the other night. brazil are not playing very well. germany got a good kicking. can i stick my little foxy neck out? leicester city. do you know what, this is a great opportunity for the southgate boys? they will give some of those teams a good caning and all they need is me

at left back... left back in the changing rooms, and they could go all the way. put a bet on it. they are going to take on panama at the weekend. they are famous for hats and cigars and a big canal so i think we could get them and put a couple of goals in the back of the net and win the world cup. boom boom! what about your future? this is festival season and you normally do glastonbury? yes, normally it is this time of year, and that has been fantastic, and this year it is a fallow year. what i love about bastareaud, it is a family festival —— what i love about glastonbury. i like these 20—year—old to me when i was on cbbc from 2000 until 2013, they are there with their parents and the new kids are there, as well, having a good time, so i hope i will

be invited back next year, but i will be at a festival in devon. and fan fest in warrington in the second week of august, so festival season, ican week of august, so festival season, i can rocket, mr simon, with the very best of them. it is great to see you. banks macro. can i use these papers for fish and chips later? -- thanks forjoining us. there is only one. in a moment the business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live. airbus threatens to pull out of the uk — if britain crashes out of the eu without a deal. from harley davidsons to jeans — the eu slaps import tariffs on a wide range of american goods in a tit—for—tat move with president trump. the jacket getting a lot of flack — the first lady's controversial clothing message has everyone asking: who was it aimed at? here's your business

headlines on afternoon live. the house of fraser rescue has been agreed by creditors after passing a vote on what's known as a company voluntary arrangement. the vote means control of the department store chain will now be sold to the chinese company c. banner which will impose huge rent cuts on 10 of its stores, close 31 of the others,cut 6,000 jobs and inject some £70m in new capital. a warning from airbus. the european aircraft manufacturer says it could leave the uk because of the risks arisingf from brexit. the group says the warning was part of dawning reality. airbus employs about 111,000 people at 25 different sites in the uk. 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. the duties on £2.11 billion worth of us goods came into force today. tariffs have been imposed

on products such as bourbon whiskey, motorcycles and orange juice. what's been happening with house of fraser? the is grim news. it is better than administration, it is one step back from that. house of fraser has been given the green light from creditors to axe more than half of its store estate, resulting in up to 6,000 job losses. the struggling department store chain will close 31 out of its 59 outlets through a company voluntary arrangement, which will also allow it to secure rent reductions on its remaining shops. that will affect the landlords? they

don't have much power in terms of the vote, the votes are usually in the vote, the votes are usually in the hands of people, the suppliers, the hands of people, the suppliers, the creditors, and one could say, so what, the landlords, howard clark —— ha rd what, the landlords, howard clark —— hard luck? but many landlords are pension funds and they will get hit and they will see their income being reduced and this is notjust has a fraser. there are many other company volu nta ry fraser. there are many other company voluntary arrangements —— house of fraser. diane wehrle, marketing and insights director at springboard, explains why among the creditors suffer the most. the landlords take the hit rather than other creditors and clearly the cva is the last ditch attempt before administration, it is either that or administration, it is either that or administration, and clearly these eva is the preferred option but landlords seem to take the hit ——

the cva. their voting rights are discounted heavily and that means they don't have is huge amount of say in the cva and the other creditors get that through. they actually suffer more financially. brazil have just scored against costa rica in stoppage time. they have gone nuts parody. what's the latest on the trade war? it is not a good time if you want to buy a motorbike. the prices will go up buy a motorbike. the prices will go u p insta ntly. buy a motorbike. the prices will go up instantly. if you are a selling motorbike shop, or ridge selling oranges from the states, you will put the price up instantly to recoup the money you will probably get from reduced sales in the coming months —— or if you are selling oranges for the. but these bikes are already in

the. but these bikes are already in the showroom? you will have to find out when you go out to buy one. my midlife crisis is already over! summer will be put up immediately. —— some will. there is 25% tariffs on almost everything, motorcycles and oranges but also will materials. all 25%. pack of cards is an exception. yes, only 1096 if all 2596. pack of cards is an exception. yes, only 1096 if you want to get into gambling. let's get more with kim gittleson who's at the new york stock exchange. we knew this was coming. yes, not much market reaction and investors are shrugging off the latest round of tariffs. when it comes to the impact of these tariffs, there is

mixed opinion about who will be paying for them, the way the tariff is collected is when something is imported to, say, germany, the importer has to pay the 25% tariff, and if there is a motorcycle distributor in germany they will pay the 25% at the port and it will be up the 25% at the port and it will be up to them to decide whether or not they can pass the high cost on to consumers they can pass the high cost on to consumers and that has to do with the economic environment they are selling. there is confusion about whether or not those importers who are selling those motorbikes will be able to pass on the high costs at a time when it is not clear if many people are feeling the global economy recovery. whether or not this will hurt the average consumer, thatis this will hurt the average consumer, that is what we are looking for in the coming months as we try to figure out the impact of these tariffs on some of the biggest economies in the world. does anyone have any idea how long this is going to go on for? if we had any idea we

would all be placing our bets and making money, but no one knows. and whether or not these proposed tariffs will go into effect. this is just the latest round and we have heard the us is considering another round of tariffs on 200 billion dollars worth of chinese imports it will be a while before we can see what they will be doing. president trump and his white house have been firm in theirstance trump and his white house have been firm in their stance that they don't wa nt firm in their stance that they don't want ordinary americans to feel the pinch from these tariffs and it will be more difficult for them to accomplish that. thanks forjoining us. one other point, it is a global trade war. india has imposed tariffs on american imports. largely

almonds. and also one other country, ichinaman almonds. and also one other country, i chinaman but which one. turkey. —— i can't remember which one. this is spreading. it's notjust europe and the us and china, it is getting bigger than that. affecting the markets? not immediately because we knew this was coming. the ftse is looking pretty healthy. the oil price coming down because we have had a meeting of opec and they say they will increase production. the usual thing of waiting to see how long that kicks into the pump price? that will be a bit of time. of course. the pound is looking pretty strong. hopes of higher interest rates. pretty good in terms of the last few months. pretty good price

against the euro. thanks forjoining us. history will be made in saudi arabia on sunday when the deeply conservative kingdom lifts its decades—long ban on women driving. human rights campaigners say it's a small step in the right direction, which is long overdue — but they say the move comes amid an unrelenting crackdown on human rights. from riyadh orla guerin reports. well, we're sitting in our driving lesson, which would be perfectly normal anywhere else in the world, but not here in saudi arabia, because there's a woman behind the wheel. we're at the campus of the princess nourah university, outside riyadh. the driving instructors here tell us there is a waiting list of women who want to come for tuition here. they are so keen to finally be able to drive in their own country. there's plenty of empty road here, just a few speed bumps here and there but it's a safe environment to learn to drive. the ban on women driving has been lifted by the crown prince, mohammed bin salman.

he's introduced other changes in recent months. cinemas have opened for the first time in more than 30 years, women can now go to sporting events, and many women we've spoken to here tell us this is a moment of freedom. that they will now be able to do things for themselves, they feel that other changes will follow. but the process of change here is very tightly controlled, it's directed from the top and it's the authorities who set the pace. and some of the women who campaigned hardest for the lifting of this driving ban, the key activists, several of them were arrested in may. they are facing serious charges, and human rights campaigners say that while women will now be allowed to drive, the climate for human rights is still stifling and instead of being behind the wheel, key activists are behind bars.

time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. good afternoon, plenty more scenes like this one as we had through the next few days, and the weather is set fair, barely any rain in the forecast and temperature will climb. i've chosen birmingham as an example, as we get into next week arsenal will reach the high 20s and maybe even 30. —— temperatures will reach. the knights went been that warmer, not as cold as recently —— the knights won't be that warm. but some relief from the heat. the satellite picture shows we have had a lot of sunshine so far today, extra cloud across scotland and northern ireland, a small chance for a shower to go to the rest of the afternoon, otherwise it is dry with good spells of sunshine and the temperatures bit higher, up to 22, and through the evening into tonight, temperature will drop once the sun has set. you can see the green shades. even in the towns and

cities, close to single digits, but out in the countryside it will be down to one, two, three, like last night. enter saturday, high—pressure taking control. the frontal system across the northern half of scotland, a fly in the ointment, more in the way cloud, our breaks of rain and a keen breeze can but elsewhere light winds and strong sunshine, uv levels pretty high, so the member that. temperatures continuing to climb especially where you get the sunshine inland in the south, maybe 25, and with that, pollen levels are very high across just about all parts of the country, the exception northern scotland where you have the extra cloud, and even there on sunday there should be a good deal of sunshine. sunny skies across all areas on sunday with a bit of patchy cloud, and temperatures will climb. around the

coast, the colours are lighter and there will be ace breeze developing, so coastal areas a bit cooler and inland the temperatures in the mid—to—late 20s, but they will climb further as we go into next week. some areas could hit 30 and not much rain in the forecast. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 3. airbus threatens to pull out of the uk — if britain crashes out of the eu without a deal. we're very fearful there'll be chaos at the borders and we want our factories to be able to operate as smoothly as possible. 6,000 jobs at risk as creditors approve dozens of house of fraser store closures the contribution made by thousands of people who arrived in britain on the empire windrush 70 years ago are celebrated in a service in westminster abbey. and the crowds in salisbury turn out as prince charles and the duchess of cornwall offer their support to the town following

the nerve agent attack. coming up on afternoon live all the sport. we are talking the world cup? and i'll be bringing you the latest from the world cup, simon. including brazil's result against costa rica. they snatched a victory right at the end! two goals in injury time against costa rica giving them victory. thank you very much. and we will have the weather. the forecast from ben rich. plenty more scenes like this one to take us through the weekend. lots of warm weather and lots of sunny weather. sunshine will be strong, bear that in mind. high pollen levels as well. i will have the details later. and fox news, but not as you know it. a tv legend's been entertaining the nation for 50 years. secretly i am basil brush and i will be looking of the papers, and later i will talk about my career. 50

yea rs i will talk about my career. 50 years in show business, boom boom! the aerospace giant airbus has warned it's uk operation could take flight — if britain leaves the european union single market and customs union without a deal. the company, which employs 16 thousand people in britain, says if a transition agreement isn't reached, it could be catastrophic for its business. ministers say they don't expect that situation to arise. but they are under pressure to provide a clear vision for post—brexit trade. our business correspondent theo legett reports. this is airbus' supply chain in action. these huge transporters are used to carry aircraft wings from its factory in north wales, to assembly sites in france and germany. across the uk, it's involved in building passengerjets and military aircraft,

defence systems and satellites. but company bosses say if we leave the eu without a deal, it would be catastrophic for the uk business. today we've published a risk assessment memo, where airbus is laying out the huge concerns we'd have if there's a no deal brexit. we're very fearful there will be chaos at the borders and we want our factories to be able to operate as smoothly as possible. airbus employs 111,000 people in britain, at 25 sites across the country, but it says it supports another 110,000 jobs indirectly — at major suppliers, for example. it says it contributes nearly £8 billion to the uk economy and pays £1.7 billion a year in taxes. the problem for airbus is it relies on getting parts where it needs them, when it needs them. it says any change in customs procedures or safety approvals would be very damaging. leading figures in the aerospace industry agree.

clearly, if we move to a point where this uncertainty continues, and the threat of a no—deal brexit continues to grow, that is potentially catastrophic for our economy. the government says it doesn't expect to leave the eu without a deal and is working with businesses to address their concerns. this pro—brexit economist says he is not worried. i think airbus itself has relatively low credibility on this, crying wolf about leaving in the past that the eu referendum and the euro, but nonetheless, there may well be some big relocations, however, we should expect there to be more activity coming in from the eu than going out, because the uk is a big net importer and net importers under the scenarios should expect to gain. as a company in which european government still holds significant shares, airbus does have a political role to play, but its managers insist their threats are not idle. they want guarantees there won't be a hard brexit and more time to get ready for the new reality. theo legett, bbc news. our reporter andy gill is in broughton for us

there will be real concern that this? you are right, there is real concern. fear and uncertainty as well. this factory is important not just for the economy of north wales, it is situated just across the borderfrom it is situated just across the border from chester. but it is situated just across the borderfrom chester. but also it is situated just across the border from chester. but also for the north—west of england. people commute here from cheshire, from merseyside, from greater manchester as well. the importance of the economy is not just as well. the importance of the economy is notjust in numbers, it is the nature of the jobs, highly skilled, highly paid engineering and manufacturing jobs which puts money in people's pockets. the workers here have known that the company have been talking to the government about the potential brexit problems for some time. we spoke to a couple of the workers earlier to find out what they think. well, i think it's disastrous, really. all our money, my late

husband always worked there, he served his apprenticeship there and retired from there. my grandson's father works there. my other grandson's father works there, too. it would be a big blow to our family. my dad works for airbus, but it is probably worse for the people that are in the 30s and 40s, relying on that. people are thinking if they go, house prices might crash, which for people my age, it might be all right for us to get back on the ladder, but there's 110,000 people related to airbus. so it's not the best of things, to be honest, for the area and everyone who is related to airbus. but there might be some positives for the younger generation. but for the people that rely on it, it's not good news. no, i've lived in broughton all my life and it would be disastrous if they

went, for the community. disastrous. well, a spokesperson for unite has spoken and said that there are grave concerns about the future of the factory. he said he personally had attended two meetings in downing street already to press on ministers how important it is for this company not to have a no deal brexit. i asked him if he thought the ministers fully understood how important it is. he said he didn't think they really did understand. the unions are planning to have more meetings with ministers and with others to try and get the situation sorted out. politically, as you would expect, politicians in wales have been expressing their concern. as far afield as merseyside, mps saying it is not about parliamentary wrangling, it is about their constituents and actual money in their pockets. thank you very much.

our political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster jonathan, in the last few minutes the shadow secretary of state for business rebecca long—bailey says he is concerned but not surprised by this news. they are not the only big industry player that has carried out their own risk assessment, but the first to put their head above the parapet. that is the concern, that others follow? airbus are saying today in public what they have been saying in private to ministers for some time. they are clearly a huge player in uk manufacturing who support thousands upon thousands of jobs in the uk. they have weighed into the debate over bracks today. and it has had a huge impact. it has emboldened those who say that the prime minister has the wrong strategy. it should be the aim, they say, to stay in a customs union with the european union and also that no deal should not be an option. we have heard from all quarters criticism of the government today. a

reaction to what airbus has said. the liberal democrat leader sir vince cable described it as the oh my god moment where you realise something really is happening. the first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon, described it as the tip of the iceberg and a wake—up call. the welsh first minister using similar line which. it isa it is a wake—up call. airbus have been saying this for months to us privately and they are now saying it publicly. some pro—brexit politicians have chosen to attack them for basically expressing their concerns. this is reality. we have a choice, we either have a very hard brexit which makes wales and an attractive place for airbus, which we will fight to avoid. we can still ha rd we will fight to avoid. we can still hard brexit on those terms. why would we want a brexit that would deliberately destroy welsh jobs? others pointing out that airbus

should not be pointing fire at the uk government, but should be lobbying those in brussels to get a good dealfor both lobbying those in brussels to get a good deal for both sides. lobbying those in brussels to get a good dealfor both sides. the government clearly taking this on board, but not changing its position in any way. being very clear today that it has listen to airbus's concerns fulsome time, and other key players in uk industry as well. but it says it is still its intention to leave the single market and the customs union, and while no deal has to be an option on the table, does not, in the government's words, expect that scenario to arise. nevertheless, what airbus has done in going public with this message piles on the pressure on theresa may to come up with some clear details about how trade will work with the rest of the eu after brexit and, also, to resolve the differences in her own party about how to go about doing that. creditors have backed department store chain house of fraser's plans to close more than half its stores. high street landlords were unhappy

with the plan as they will have to shoulder the burden of financial losses, but they were outvoted. the retailer will now go ahead and shut 31 of its 59 shops nationwide and impose huge rent cuts on 10 others that it intends to keep. up to 6,000 jobs will go as a result of the closures. our business correspondent, emma simpson, has been giving us more details. it was expected, but it was still a make or break moment for house of fraser. you may rememeber a dramatic announcement a few weeks ago that this 169—year—old chain was going to shut 31 of its 51 stores, and big rent cuts on others. that would put 6000 jobs on the line. the thing is, they need to get approval from their unsecured creditors for that deal to go ahead, through a process known as a cva, a company voluntary arrangement. so the big vote was today, with unsecured creditors, including trade suppliers and landlords.

they needed 75% of the votes to go through, and that is what they have got. we're waiting for a statement from the company. that now means that the rescue plan will go ahead. a pretty brutal rescue plan. it involves the loss of 6000 jobs. it is. it is very dramatic. but the alternative was a business that was on the brink of collapse. it's been losing money and sales for quite a long time. the company said, yes, it's a very difficult thing to do. it's terrible for the staff involved, but this is a necessary step in order to protect the long—term future of the business. a quick look at the time, what are we talking about? they announced store closures that would take effect by early 2019 and rent cuts more immediate. it will take some time for the changes to go through. but, crucially, they got the approval today. new eu tariffs on us imports will come into force in retaliation

for american tariffs on european goods. a range of products, from motorbikes to levi jeans, will now be subject to a levy of at least 25%. the president of the european commission jean—claude juncker says the eu will do whatever is necessary to safeguard its trade interests. our europe correspondent damian grammaticas gave us more details from a harley davidson showroom in brussels. at this harley—davidson showroom, this bike would set you back something like £25,000. the import duty on motorbikes is going to be 25%, so on the import price that will be £2,000 or £3,000. here they say they don't know exactly when the prices will be passed through but these tariffs will be hitting a lot of different goods. things like agricultural products, sweetcorn, cranberries, orange juice you mentioned, raw materials like steel and aluminium. other sorts of equipment, too. so cars, boats, medical equipment, all sorts of things. so expect prices to feel the impact.

as you say, jean—claude juncker saying that this goes against logic and history because the eu and the us are allies, now engaging in this trade conflict. the question for the eu will be, will the us now retaliate? the germans saying today they hope all of this will persuade america to sit down and start talking. no—one knows if that will be donald trump's reaction or whether things will escalate from here. but, of course, thing to remember, this matters notjust in europe, in the uk as well or anywhere in the eu currently will feel the impact of these new tariffs on any imports on that list. $2.8 billion of goods in the eu being targeted. melania trump has been criticised for the coat she wore on her way to visit a child migrant detention centre in texas yesterday.

as she left for her visit, journalists and photographers spotted writing on the back of the coat — which said "i really don't care, do u?". the first lady's spokeswoman said there was no hidden message in her choice of clothing. our correspondent richard galpin considers now why she wore what she did. these pictures showing children locked in cages after being separated from their parents proved a tipping point in the campaign against president trump's hardline immigration policy. his wife, melania, apparently instrumental in the change of heart. yesterday, visiting the centre run by a charity which cares for children who have crossed the mexican border into texas with theirfamilies, but are now separated from them. but her compassion for the plight of the children thrown into doubt by this jacket which she wore on herjourney to and from texas. on the back is written "i really don't care, do u?". this, provoking outrage.

the actor mia farrow saying the message couldn't have been clearer and others were equally blunt. the white house, though, hit back. her spokeswoman saying it was just a jacket, while the president claimed it was a message aimed at one of his favourite targets, the media. here, experts think the first lady is being used to bolster the president's core supporters. we have already seen more of the far right, the hardcore trump supporters supporters saying yes, we like this. i can see the statement "i really don't care" on t—shirts at trump rallies. but also we will see the media chasing it and pundits on fox news saying this is ridiculous, they're attacking melania are just a jacket she wore, it's superficial, she's a wonderful, caring person. melania trump, a former model, she is known for making strong fashion statements when appearing in public. attending the state of the union address earlier this year, she wore this white trouser suit, drawing comparisons with

what hillary clinton wore during the presidential election campaign. was this a subtle rebuke of her husband, as allegations swirled of him having had an affair with the porn star stormy daniels? divining finding the truth of why she wore this visit on a visit to children on the mexican border is extremely difficult but it certainly put her in the headlines. richard galpin, bbc news. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines: airbus threatens to pull out of the uk — if britain crashes out of the eu without a deal. 6,000 jobs at risk as creditors approve dozens of house of fraser store closures. from harley davidsons to jeans — the eu slaps import tariffs on a wide range of american goods in a tit—for—tat move with president trump. and in sport... brazil leave it very late but get their world cup campaign up

and running with a 2—0 win against costa rica gareth soutgate says dele alli is unlikely to play against panama on sunday, he picked up a thigh strain against tunisia. and a lucky escape for marcus ericsson — as formula one returns to france for the first time in ten years. the swede's crash brought first practice to an early end, but he wasn't hurt. i'll be back with more on those stories just after half three. a service of thanksgiving has been taking place at westminster abbey to mark 70 years since hundreds of caribbean migrants disembarked from the empire windrush, to help rebuild post—war britain. the government continues to face criticism, after it emerged that some of the windrush generation had wrongly faced deportation. our community affairs correspondent adina campbell reports. newsreel: seeing the arrival of more than 400 happy jamaicans. they've come to seek work in britain, and are ready and willing to do any kind ofjob that will help... they were welcomed into the uk with hopes of prosperity. nearly 500 caribbean migrants were on board the empire windrush,

which docked at tilbury in essex on the 22nd ofjune, 19118. beautiful — those were the days. one of them who made thatjourney 70 years ago was alford gardner. he's lived in leeds for most of his life. but that wasn't his intention. he's still here at the age of 92. i did not know it would be long—term. the plan was just come to england, a good job, work for four, five years, go back, rear five children and watch my vineyards grow! but it wasn't to be. but in five years, i started a family, married, had bought my house, working hard, settled down. empire windrush marked the beginning of british post—war immigration,

and the right to remain was supposed to be legally guaranteed, but changes to uk immigration laws, and problems with paperwork, have blighted the lives of some caribbean migrants and their children. the scale of the windrush scandal first came to light in april earlier this year. if a human being wants to move from one place to another to feed their family, to reunite with their family... ..when those affected started sharing their stories of being denied access to healthcare, losing their homes and jobs, and even being detained. glenda ceasar was born in dominica and came to the uk as a baby in the 19605. she never got a british passport, and lost herjob a few months ago because she couldn't prove legal status. so many years down the line, we are faced with this — the ship to me, the windrush, it seems to me as if we were just slaves being brought over here. to be punished later on in life, that's the way that i feel. today's thanksgiving service

at westminster abbey has been commemorating the valuable contribution of caribbean migrants and their families, but after a turbulent few months the windrush scandal has, and continues to, cast a dark shadow. the church of england should carry out a fresh review of alleged child sexual abuse cases in seven dioceses. that's according to sir roger singleton, the author of a highly critical report into the way the church handled a review of abuse cases, in 2010. sir roger's report has just been published, several weeks earlier than planned, following an investigation by the bbc. he found that the church had botched its inquiry — it discovered just 13 cases of abuse, despite reviewing more than 40,000 files. donna birrell reports. the church of england's handling of sexual abuse claims is under intense scrutiny. survivors claim failures by the church to accurately record the number of abuse allegations in 2010 may have led to abusers continuing unchecked, and they claimed most survivors were denied the chance to give evidence. the response from the church

to survivors, i think, has been wholly inadequate. i think there has been a sense of paralysis, almost, on the part of the church, of not quite knowing how to deal with it. of seeing the survivors as the problem. in his report this morning, sir roger singleton said the 2010 past cases review failed to reflect the true extent of the issues which needed to be addressed and that it wasn't completely comprehensive. in other words, the church's mishandling of the past cases review may have enabled abuse to continue. it may have done. i have to say, there is little evidence that we found to suggest that has happened but i agree that is a possibility. it comes as iicsa, an independent inquiry, is currently looking at the way the anglican church handled abuse claims. it's seen e—mails showing discussions and disagreements within the church about which cases should be recorded. other documents highlight serious

cases which didn't make it through to the final report, after confusion about the criteria of who to include. alleged cases left out included a cleric who was addicted to pornography, and another said to have an obsessional interest in satanic ritual abuse. we've found no evidence whatsoever of a deliberate intention on the part of the church to mislead. however, what the church did do was that it narrowed the criteria for reporting in a way which didn't communicate the full nature of the concerns. the church said criticisms have been taken very seriously and acted upon. just this morning, it's announced new proposals to improve its safeguarding, including an independently chaired survivors' panel, and a look at options to redress past cases.

donna birrell, bbc news. the un refugee agency estimates that 220 people have drowned off libya in recent days, trying to make the sea crossing to europe. the rescue ship aquarius is now heading there on a new mission. it has made the headlines over the last two weeks after the italian government refused to allow it to drop off migrants on its territory. the aquarius eventually docked in the spanish port of valencia. gavin lee is on—board. 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. we are going to reduce the capacity on—board, we cannot sailfor six days. 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 ensured 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 could end up. gavin lee, on board the aquarius. the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall visited salisbury today to see how the city is recovering following the nerve agent attack in march. the couple's visit came after the city endured weeks of disruption as police investigated the poisoning of the former russian spy sergei skripal, and his daughter yulia. trade was severely affected for many local businesses following the nerve agent attack. stewart drake, a sales assistant who works near to the bench where the skripals were found,

met prince charles earlier. fancy prince charles coming in. that was very nice. we were very surprised that he came. i never thought he would come and see us. lovely to see him. he came in and shook my hand. he was a very nice guy, to be honest. he asked how salisbury was recovering and how we were getting on as a business. he was very interested in b&r textiles and how we were coping with the 11 weeks of closure. we did struggle for a while. we saw it through the bad times. hopefully now we will be stronger for it and the general public will come back and we will all get back to normal. is there an acceptance that there is nothing anybody could have done? it was such a unique event and nobody could possibly know what the result was going to be? absolutely. it was just unprecedented. nobody knew how to handle what was going on. we understand why things did take the time that they did. something like this has

never happened before. things had to be done the right way. there was no point doing things with a half measure, because if things did go wrong in future people could lose their lives, in the worst case. so, i think things were done the right way. i was pleased it was done the right way. luckily we are back to normal now. good afternoon. plenty more scenes like this, the weather set fair for the weekend and beyond. the rest of the weekend and beyond. the rest of the afternoon is looking fine. a bit of cloud around for northern areas, the small chance of a shower in northern ireland. this evening and overnight it is going to again turn relatively chilly. even towns and cities down into single figures. in

the countryside, it could get down to two or three degrees. quetta cool start on saturday morning. temperatures were quickly climb because there will be a lot of sunshine. some high cloud turning sunshine. some high cloud turning sunshine hazy at times. a few splashes of rain and more of a breeze in northern scotland. we are looking at highs between 17 and 2a degrees. temperatures will climb even further as we get into sunday. particularly next week, sunspots will get into the high 20s, perhaps touching 30 degrees. —— some spots. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. downing street says it's confident of a good brexit deal following a warning from airbus that it could leave the uk — if britain crashes out of the eu without any agreement. creditors have approved plans by house of fraser for dozens of store closures across the uk, which could lead to 6,000 job losses. from motorbikes to levi jeans — the eu has slapped import tariffs on a wide range of american goods in a tit—for—tat move with president trump.

and there has been a joyful celebration at westminster abbey to mark 70 years since the empire windrush docked — but the government continues to face criticism, after it emerged that some of the windrush generation had wrongly faced deportation. sport now on afternoon live with kat downes. brazil snatching it at the end? finally brazil have arrived at the world cup party, but they left it late to record their first win in russia, beating costa rica 2—0 in st petersburg. did you see them falling to the turf at the vladimir putin did you see them falling to the turf at the end? neymar was in tears. the central americans frustrated brazil for much of the match, as did the officials.

neymar was incensed when he didn't get a penalty. the referee deciding he'd dived after watching a replay. it took until injury time for philippe coutinho to break costa rica — scoring his second goal of the tournament. and there was enough time for neymar to get into the act as well making it 2—0 in the 97th minute leading to either tears of joy or relief at full time. i'm too busy looking at his hair. let's talk about england. a headache? it centres around dele alli. 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. so dele alli possibly out for the next game. england's potential team sheet for sunday, was of course spotted yesterday by an eagle eyed photograper and it's been talked

about at the latest england press conference too. here's kyle walker. if you try to keep it to yourself and don't bring it out to the world because this won't help us in the later stages of the competition, because all the rest of the world have seen our team, if that is it, or not. but you guys have got to do your little bit so if you could just help us and be a bit polite. 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 is also in quarterfinal action later this afternoon. nick kyrgios has just won

nick kyrgios hasjust won his match, by the way. formula one hasn't visited france for ten years, but it returned today with a bang. 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 repair 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. and finally we hear of many fans making arduous journeys to watch their team at the world cup. cancelled flights and long road trips. although there may be longer road trips than switzerland to russia — few will have taken as much time. especially when your mode of transport is a tractor. beat studer rumbled into kaliningrad after a 12 dayjourney from lucerne to watch switzerland against serbia later on. translation: i said if we win and

the swiss team qualified for russia i will go to the world cup and then i asked by friend if he wanted to come and he said, only with the tractor, so i told him, if they win, i accept the bet, instead we have been planning it and now we are here. —— and since then we have been planning it. that's all the sport for now. this is a tweet from president trump. stocks in uk and european car

manufacturers are already being hit by that prospect. so it is all about a possible deepening of the trade war with the united dates. —— united states. donald trump threatening to place a 20% tariff on all cars going into the us from the eu. let's return now to the news that airbus has warned that it will reconsider its future in the uk if there's no brexit deal with the eu. the company, which employs 111,000 people in the uk, said it needed clarity from the government within weeks. a little earlier i spoke to rear admiral simon henley who is the president of the royal aeronautical society. i asked him what he made of the warning from airbus. it isa

it is a very real threat, because underlying the high level of agreement between the customs union and remus trade, there are detailed arrangements which support the uk's participation in aerospace across europe and transatlantic league and all of those things will need to be negotiated again under the terms of our membership or of various eu bodies and the aerospace regulation community. none of those negotiations can start to take place at any detail until we have decided the high—level principles and time for those detailed negotiations is now running out, the clock is ticking, and they typically take yea rs ticking, and they typically take years rather than months to negotiate and there are many of those agreements. all of which support our ability to supply parts into airbus and other companies and to export items between countries to allow them to be embodied in aeroplanes. you talk about the

regulations and safety, the european aviation safety agency, is it a realistic threat that companies would be forced out of agencies like that? the answer is -- they are a eu body and in the event of a no deal we would not be part of it, unless something has been negotiated, and thatis something has been negotiated, and that is what we are very concerned about within the aerospace sector because we need to understand what that looks like. and then make sure that looks like. and then make sure that we can prepare our industries and prepare our communities for working in the new environment. we need to be really careful that we don't add an extra layer of bureaucracy by going to some form of independent certification. the aerospace industry is very competitive and the response changes in cast can make a big difference as

to whether you get chosen as a supplier —— cost. any delayjust add costs a nd supplier —— cost. any delayjust add costs and will make uk industry much less competitive and therefore less able to win contracts to supply to airbus and boeing and others. airbus says it doesn't want us to crash out of the eu and the british government says the same. that is true. but those are high—level statements which have been going on for some time now and what industry is the thing for is the detailed negotiations that underline that. we have got to move forward beyond a simple principles we don't wish to crash out and start negotiating the deals of what the new shape of business will look like and that means fairly close definition of exactly what part the uk plays and what its relationship is with those eu bodies, that needs to be negotiated and agreed and written down. the point about eris —based

regulation in particular and safety management is that it doesn't work on high—level principles and it works instead on detailed agreements which are all completely detailed and signed and laid down and that is the way eris space has got to operate. —— aerospace has got to operate. —— aerospace has got to operate. it is a very organised business, you are a former military man, is there a sense that if this was left out of the hands of politicians things could have been done more quickly? i don't want to get drawn into the politics of it. our role as a learned society is to provide impartial advice to government and other bodies on what are the right things for the aerospace sector, and getting a despicable about who might do what, i don't think that is something we can “— i don't think that is something we can —— getting into a argument about who might do what i don't think that

is something we can do. it is friday afternoon here on afternoon live. he has one of the most recognisable faces in show business — and this week basil brush is celebrating 50 years in entertainment. since its launch in 1968 the basil brush show has been seen by millions of viewers all over the world. and he's still going. a little earlier he popped into the studio. you don't look 50. thank you very much. neither do you, although you are much older than me. the honour is all mine, mr mccoy, and i used to be a big fan of yours in star trek. i thought you were excellent in that and now you have a great career as a newscaster. that wasn't me. you had that other wonderful career as a jockey, you were so good. that wasn't me either. oh, who are you, then? oh, so you are simon mccoy.

the real mccoy. boom boom! did you like what idea to then? —— did you like what i did then? can we talk about your careerfor a moment? it took me all week to think of that. 50 years, what were the highlights? the beginning is always a good highlight, from the very first episode, 50 years ago last week. me and rodney bewes were there, a couple of unlikely lads. live programme with a live studio audience, we were there to begin the basil brush show and the rest is history. one of the greatest highlights was actually meeting lady di. the show became so huge, i was invited to meet her and wills and harry. can you imagine what that would be like now? maybe they could be asking me back on their programme. how old were they?

they were four and seven. i'm not sure on how old she was. lady di was delightful to me. she made me a cup of tea. it was like being in someone's rather grand front room and then hosting a birthday party. i think the time is right for a return to kensington palace and meet the other kiddie winkles in there at the moment. if they're watching... yes, if they're watching. this is a news programme and you get your news from the papers. what has caught your eye? well, the news... often there is too much bad news in the news. i want to lighten things up and find those "and finally" items. and the first thing that caught my eye was this little raccoon. i'm a fan of raccoons because i watched guardians of the galaxy and rocky raccoon is in that. any kid watching will know what i'm talking about, but you won't because

you're too old. this raccoon has climbed up the side of this building and we are all very impressed with that because we can't do that. spider—man can do that, tom holland is very good at it. but this little raccoon, you know what he got when he went to the top? dog food. full of sleeping tablets. he won't be doing that again because they chucked him back in the woods. but i was most impressed that raccoon got to the top. what about the world cup? any tips? who is going to win? we had that tiger predicting who is going to win the world cup but i'm rather pleased that some of those big teams are not doing so well. argentina got a darn good kicking the other night. brazil are not playing very well. germany got a good kicking as well. can i stick my little foxy neck out? the foxes did it a couple of years ago. leicester city. do you know what, this is a great opportunity for the southgate boys? they will give some of those teams

a good caning and all they need is me at left back... left back in the changing rooms... and they could go all the way. put a bet on it. todayit today it could be the day. they are going to take on panama at the weekend. they are famous for hats and cigars and a darn big canal so i think we could get them and put a couple of goals in the back of the net and win the world cup. boom boom! kane! what about your future? this is festival season and you normally do glastonbury? yes, normally it is this time of year, glastonbury, and that has been fantastic. this year it is a fallow year. what i love about glastonbury, it's a family festival. my my tent is meant to be for the kids. but it has all these 20—year—olds who knew me when i was on cbbc

from 2000 until 2013 — they are there with their parents and the new kids are there, as well, having a good time. so i hope i will be invited back next year, but i will be at a festival in devon. and also fan fest in warrington in the second week of august. so yes, festival season, i can rocket, mr simon, with the very best of them. you better not do that because you might put your back out. it's great to see you. thanks. can i use these papers for fish and chips later? there is only one. the legend, basil brush speaking to me earlier. here's your business headlines on afternoon live. we will start with the house of fraser? the house of fraser rescue has been agreed by creditors

after passing a vote on what's known as a company voluntary arrangement. the vote means control of the department store chain will now be sold to the chinese company c. in some of these company voluntary agreements, the landlord is losing out quite badly, but in return for this what will happen, the company will be sold to a chinese company called c banner who will inject £70 million. they will cut some of the jobs and close some of the stores and they will hope that will make it work. our business correspondent, emma simpsonjoins me now. what went wrong with house of fraser? it has been struggling for a

time, it has had many owners, and the problems came to a head because we have had a series of retailers reporting problems from increased costs, so living wage, business rates, increased rents and falling consumer confidence and shoppers going online, but house of fraser suffered from a lack of investment. it is shouldering a lot of debt and it lost relevance. we have said this a lot, but it failed to keep releva nt a lot, but it failed to keep relevant and to keep up with the competition, to give shoppers a reason to go to its stores. what they have agreed is pretty drastic, half the stores? it is really drastic but they say they had no alternative stop it was either this restructuring or collapse, and landlords have to take a big hit in

all of this and they were very vocal and angry about the use of these cvas which we have seen increasingly, struggling retailers using them and landlords suspect that some of these cvas have been abused but in the case of house of fraser this is a business in serious trouble but landlords say the way the voting system stacks up means the voting system stacks up means the dice is loaded against them and so even if a majority of landlords had voted against the plans it was not enough to make the plans stop, so this crunch vote has gone through and this controversial rescue deal goes ahead which will result in lots ofjob losses goes ahead which will result in lots of job losses but goes ahead which will result in lots ofjob losses but it means they live to fight another day in terms of keeping the business going. keeping it going, but for how long? they will put £70 million into but they aren't losing things like the oxford

street store. —— they are. it is important, isn't it? it tells you quite a lot. oxford street, birmingham, edinburgh, these are prime retail destinations, and if you can't make a success of it there, what issue to exist? —— what is your right to exist. oxford street, this giant piece of retail space, they see that as a liability rather than an asset, and even with the cva going through, the fundamental problem is still there, how do you get shoppers into the stores that will be left? emma simpson, thanks for joining stores that will be left? emma simpson, thanks forjoining us. agreement over oil production with opec? they have increased oil production which in normal times, that would mean the price will come down but they have also been losing

oil production in the last few months because of sanctions on iran and venezuela. in a way it re bala nces and venezuela. in a way it rebalances it and the americans have said to opec we want you to produce more in order to be able to keep the price fairly stable but opec has said you are the ones imposing sanctions, why should we try to put that right at our expense by putting up that right at our expense by putting up production and possibly losing income as a result? there's a lot of political shenanigans. they also have to talk about the non—opec friends and allies, like russia, and it is unlikely we will have more production, but i think this is to keep the prices steady rather than to reduce the price. let's talk about the tariffs, imposed by the eu on imports from the us, which was a

retaliation to the tariffs on steel and lmn —— aluminium. donald trump is now threatening tariffs on cars. this is a real tit—for—tat, getting worse. last night we saw india and turkey putting sanctions on, not huge amount, but they are nibbling away at america's exports and you will get other countries reacting. talking about the likes of jaguar land rover, the american market is important. yes. there is also the us china trade disagreement, and daimler has factories in alabama which export to china, and you can see how this really catches up with people and businesses which do not seem to be the absolute forefront of

this but they get caught up in it. we spoke earlier to our correspondent in new york and she said what was happening. investors for the most part are shutting off this latest round of tariffs, but i want to mention that when it comes to the impact of these tariffs there is mixed opinion about who will be paying for them and the way at terror is collected is when something is imported —— the way a tariff is collected is when something is imported to germany, say, the importer has to pay the 25% tariff, at the port, and then it is up tariff, at the port, and then it is up to them to decide whether they can pass the high cost on to consumers and that has to do with the economic environment they are selling in, so there is some solid confusion about whether or not those importers who are selling those motorbikes, for example, will be able to pass on higher costs at a time when it is not clear as to how many people are feeling the global

economic recovery, that is what we will be looking for, to see if this is hurting the average consumer. this is all developing as we are on air. markets have not moved a huge amount. dax have come away from its original games. because we knew these sanctions were going on, there hasn't been immediate reaction. the pound is strong against the euro and the dollar. that is what has been talked about. if you see what our correspondent was talking about, the possibility of slowing economic growth, you wonder whether they will be putting up interest rates at the rate people are expecting, because the speed the economy grows, people don't know because they don't know what the effect of these tariffs is

going to be. when you have donald trump tweeting like that, if you are working for a car manufacturer in this country or europe, this is your job. yes, and if you suddenly put on 2596... job. yes, and if you suddenly put on 25%... if you see something has gone up 25%... if you see something has gone up another 20p on the supermarket shelf, then you will think i will buy english apple juice instead. which may be good for english apple juice. that is the point of donald trump. we would have more on that later. —— we will. history will be made in saudi arabia on sunday when the deeply conservative kingdom lifts its decades—long ban on women driving. human rights campaigners say it's a small step in the right direction, which is long overdue — but they say the move comes amid an unrelenting crackdown on human rights. from riyadh orla guerin reports. well, we're sitting in our driving lesson, which would be perfectly normal anywhere else in the world, but not here in saudi arabia,

because there's a woman behind the wheel. we're at the campus of the princess nourah university, outside riyadh. the driving instructors here tell us there is a waiting list of women who want to come for tuition here. they are so keen to finally be able to drive in their own country. there's plenty of empty road here, just a few speed bumps here and there but it's a safe environment to learn to drive. the ban on women driving has been lifted by the crown prince, mohammed bin salman. he's introduced other changes in recent months. cinemas have opened for the first time in more than 30 years, women can now go to sporting events, and many women we've spoken to here tell us this is a moment of freedom. that they will now be able to do things for themselves, they feel that other changes will follow. but the process of change here is very tightly controlled, it's directed from the top and it's the authorities who set the pace. and some of the women who campaigned hardest for the lifting of this driving ban,

the key activists, several of them were arrested in may. they are facing serious charges, and human rights campaigners say that while women will now be allowed to drive, the climate for human rights is still stifling and instead of being behind the wheel, key activists are behind bars. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. good afternoon, plenty more scenes like this one as we head through the next few days, and the weather is set fair, barely any rain in the forecast and temperatures will climb. i've chosen birmingham as an example, as we get into next week temperatures will reach the high 20s and maybe even 30. the nights won't be that warm, not as cold as recently. but still they will provide some relief from the heat.

the satellite picture shows we have had a lot of sunshine so far today, extra cloud across scotland and northern ireland, a small chance for a shower to go through the rest of the afternoon, otherwise it is dry with good spells of sunshine and the temperatures a bit higher, up to 22. and through the evening into tonight, temperatures will drop once the sun has set. you can see the green shades. even in the towns and cities, close to single digits, but out in the countryside it will be down to one, two, three, like last night. into saturday, high—pressure taking control. the frontal system across the northern half of scotland, a fly in the ointment, more in the way of cloud, outbreaks of rain and a keen breeze but elsewhere light winds and strong sunshine —

uv levels pretty high, so remember that. temperatures continuing to climb especially where you get the sunshine inland in the south, maybe 25, and with that, pollen levels are very high across just about all parts of the country, the exception northern scotland where you have the extra cloud. and even there on sunday there should be a good deal of sunshine. sunny skies across all areas on sunday with a bit of patchy cloud, and temperatures will climb. around the coast, the colours are lighter and there will be a sea breeze developing, so coastal areas a bit cooler and inland the temperatures in the mid—to—late 20s, but they will climb further as we go into next week. some areas could hit 30 and not much rain in the forecast. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy.

today at 4. .. airbus threatens to pull out of the uk — if britain crashes out of the eu without a deal. we're very fearful there'll be chaos at the borders and we want our factories to be able to operate as smoothly as possible. donald trump threatens 20% tariffs on european cars exported to the us if trade barriers are not lifted. a joyful celebration in westminster abbey for those who arrived in britain on the empire windrush 70 years ago today. and the crowds in salisbury turn out for the prince charles and the duchess of cornwall as they offer their support to the town following the nerve agent attack. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport.

there have been tears on the pitch, brazil finally getting their first win of the finals. 2—0 over costa rica. both goals coming in injury time. i will show you them both at half—past. time. i will show you them both at half-past. and ben has the bunting out, the weather is good? yes, if you like it warm and sunny. there is plenty more of that to come over the next few days. very little rain in the forecast. temperatures next week could hit 30. is it a heatwave? well, i will tell you could hit 30. is it a heatwave? well, iwill tell you in could hit 30. is it a heatwave? well, i will tell you in 30 minutes. also coming up — it's fox news but not as you know it. a tv legend's been entertaining the nation for 50 years. hello, the nation for 50 years. hello, hello! i am basil brush hello, hello, hello! iam basil brush and i am going to be looking at the papers. i will be talking about my career, 50 years in show business. boom boom! hello, this is afternoon live.

the aerospace giant airbus has warned that its uk operation is injeopardy if britain leaves the european union single market and customs union without a deal. the company, which employs 111,000 people in britain, says if a transition agreement isn't reached, it could be catastrophic for its business. downing street says it's been listening to the company's concerns, but it remains confident it will strike a deal and talks with brussels were making good progress. our business correspondent theo legett reports. this is airbus' supply chain in action. these huge transporters are used to carry aircraft wings from its factory in north wales, to assembly sites in france and germany. across the uk, it's involved in building passengerjets and military aircraft, defence systems and satellites. but company bosses say if we leave the eu without a deal,

it would be catastrophic for the uk business. today we've published a risk assessment memo, where airbus is laying out the huge concerns we'd have if there's a no deal brexit. we're very fearful there will be chaos at the borders and we want our factories to be able to operate as smoothly as possible. airbus employs 111,000 people in britain, at 25 sites across the country, but it says it supports another 110,000 jobs indirectly — at major suppliers, for example. it says it contributes nearly £8 billion to the uk economy and pays £1.7 billion a year in taxes. the problem for airbus is it relies on getting parts where it needs them, when it needs them. it says any change in customs procedures or safety approvals would be very damaging. leading figures in the aerospace industry agree. clearly, if we move to a point where this uncertainty continues, and the threat of a no—deal brexit continues to grow, that is potentially catastrophic for our economy.

the government says it doesn't expect to leave the eu without a deal and is working with businesses to address their concerns. this pro—brexit economist says he is not worried. i think airbus itself has relatively low credibility on this, having cried wolf about leaving in the past that the eu referendum and the euro, but nonetheless, there may well be some big relocations, however, we should expect there to be more activity coming in from the eu than going out, because the uk is a big net importer and net importers under the scenarios should expect to gain. as a company in which european government still holds significant shares, airbus does have a political role to play, but its managers insist their threats are not idle. they want guarantees there won't be a hard brexit and more time to get ready for the new reality. theo legett, bbc news. our correspondent andy gill is at the airbus plant at broughton

in flintshire for us, where the local community are very concerned about how this will affect them and their livelihoods. you are right, there is real concern. fear and uncertainty as well. this factory is important notjust for the economy of north wales, it is situated just across the border from chester. but also for the north—west of england. people commute here from cheshire, from merseyside, from greater manchester as well. the importance of the economy is notjust in numbers, it is the nature of the jobs, highly skilled, highly paid engineering and manufacturing jobs which put money in people's pockets. the workers here have known that the company have been talking to the government about the potential brexit problems for some time. we spoke to a couple of the workers earlier to find out what they think. well, i think it's disastrous, really. all our money, my late husband always worked there, he served his apprenticeship there and retired from there. my grandson's father works there.

my other grandson's father works there, too. it would be a big blow to our family. my dad works for airbus, but it is probably worse for the people that are in their 30s and 40s, relying on that. people are thinking if they go, house prices might crash, which for people my age, it might be all right for us to get back on the ladder, but there's 110,000 people related to airbus. so it's not the best of things, to be honest, for the area and everyone who is related to airbus. but there might be some positives for the younger generation. but for the people that rely on it, it's not good news. no, i've lived in broughton all my life and it would be disastrous if they went, for the community. disastrous. well, a spokesperson for unite has spoken and said that there are grave

concerns about the future of the factory. he said he personally had attended two meetings in downing street already to press on ministers how important it is for this company not to have a no—deal brexit. i asked him if he thought the ministers fully understood how important it is. he said he didn't think they really did understand. the unions are planning to have more meetings with ministers and with others to try and get the situation sorted out. politically, as you would expect, politicians in wales have been expressing their concern. as far afield as merseyside, mps saying it is not about parliamentary wrangling, it is about their constituents and actual money in their pockets. let's talk to our political correspondent jonathan blake. a lot of concern that this is a huge

employer of people in this country. but this could be the first of other companies coming out and saying this? the comments that airbus has made will not necessarily be a surprise to the government, they have been making similar concerns known to ministers in private for some time. going public like this definitely increases the pressure on the government. like most things with brexit, it has had a polarising effect, with those that would make a similarart image to effect, with those that would make a similar art image to airbus, that the uk needs to stay with a close customs relationship to the eu after brexit and avoid at all costs a no deal scenario, being emboldened by this intervention by such a big player in uk business and manufacturing, saying that now is the time for the government to change tack, stop talking about keeping no deal on the table and work to keep the uk in a customs union with the eu. we have heard concerns, as you saw in the report, from across the political spectrum.

vince cable, talking about this as the oh my god moment, when you realise something really is happening. the liberal democrats campaigned to stay in the eu. nicola sturgeon, the first minister, calling it a wake—up call. the welsh first minister carwyn jones was using the same language. the shadow business secretary rebecca long—bailey talk business secretary rebecca long— bailey talk about business secretary rebecca long—bailey talk about it as a key moment. i think we're at a critical point now. we've seen the shambolic handling of negotiations so far by the current government. they don't know whether they want to be part of a customs union, they haven't put any solid foundations down in terms of pushing forward for a real deal in relation to the single market. there seems to be constant squabbling in the back room in relation to whether we have a hard brexit or a soft brexit. and it's providing extreme uncertainty for business. they've been waiting with bated breath for nearly two years to find out what the government's direction is, and they're still not certain. and i think some businesses such as airbus are starting to carry out those risk assessments and publicly

state that if the decision isn't taken to change course and provide some certainty soon, then there are right to be significant conferences. there are conservative mps in favour of brexit that have dismissed the warning, effectively saying airbus are crying wolf. john wade —— john redwood said it was project fear on steroids. others are saying that airbus should be lobbying the eu and putting pressure on them to get a good dealfor the putting pressure on them to get a good deal for the uk putting pressure on them to get a good dealfor the uk and the eu after brexit. the government acknowledging what airbus had to say today, making it clear that it has listened to their concerns and pointing to the progress made so far in the brexit negotiations, not least the transition period, the implementation phase as the government calls it, which provides some stability and certainty to business. the cabinet office

minister, the prime minister's de fa cto minister, the prime minister's de facto deputy, saying it is now the government's task to nail down the detailed by the autumn. it is some task, though. thank you very much. and later on we'll be speaking about this to steve turner, assistant general secretary at the union, unite. house of fraser is to go ahead with a radical plan to close half of its stores — after the compa ny‘s creditors backed a rescue plan. high street landlords opposed the scheme as they will have to accept rent cuts in many locations, but they were outvoted. the retailer will now shut 31 of its 59 stores. it's expected that up to 6,000 jobs will go as a result of the closures. our business correspondent, emma simpson, has been giving us more details. it was expected, but it was still a make or break moment for house of fraser. you may rememeber a dramatic announcement a few weeks ago that this 169—year—old chain was going to shut 31 of its 51 stores, and big rent cuts on others. that would put 6000 jobs on the line.

the thing is, they need to get approval from their unsecured creditors for that deal to go ahead, through a process known as a cva, a company voluntary arrangement. so the big vote was today, with unsecured creditors, including trade suppliers and landlords. they needed 75% of the votes to go through, and that is what they have got. we're waiting for a statement from the company. that now means that the rescue plan will go ahead. a pretty brutal rescue plan. it involves the loss of 6000 jobs. it is. it is very dramatic. but the alternative was a business that was on the brink of collapse. it's been losing money and sales for quite a long time. the company said, yes, it's a very difficult thing to do. it's terrible for the staff involved, but this is a necessary step in order to protect the long—term future of the business. a quick look at the timescale what are we talking about?

they announced store closures that would take effect by early 2019 and rent cuts more immediate. it will take some time for the changes to go through. but, crucially, they got the approval today. the us president donald trump has threatened to escalate the trade dispute with europe, by imposing a 20% tariff on european cars imported into the us. his tweet followed the introduction of new eu tariffs on us imports which came into force in retaliation for earlier american tariffs on european goods. a range of us products, from motorbikes to levi jeans, will now be subject to a levy of at least 25%. our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas gave us more details from a harley davidson showroom in brussels. this is heading towards a very unpleasant trade war at the moment? it could be. at the minute, what we haveis it could be. at the minute, what we have is today is a eu tariffs coming

into force. the retaliation from the eu to those original american ta riffs eu to those original american tariffs on aluminium and steel. yes, what we have is a presidential tweet. we are still a long way from something being incremented, but the threat is there from donald trump, saying that, based on the tariffs and barriers along in place from the european union, if they are not soon broken down we will place a 20% tariff on all of their cars coming to the us. now, this has been growing for a bit. donald trump has talked about this, about imposing ta riffs talked about this, about imposing tariffs on european and other cars from japan and elsewhere. there is a very, very big market here. most of the imports to america are not european. they are japanese and others. about 500,000 german cars going to america. that is a very big market for germany, second only to

china. donald trump, threatening to follow through. if he does, and this is his chosen path to escalate things, given the eu's imposition of tariffs, he could be heading for a very painful period of tariffs. tariffs, he could be heading for a very painful period of tariffslj know you were at a harley—davidson showroom earlier. i mean, the real term cost increase of these things isa term cost increase of these things is a serious one for any consumer. it is pretty serious, yes. what we are talking about from what the eu has levied today is 25% tariffs. that includes harley—davidson is, because it is targeting motorbikes and some other cars on a huge list. i have the list here and it is enormous, the list of things that eu is leading tariffs on. that is on the import prices. so, on eight £30,000 vehicle it might be 10% or so of the price that could be passed through. the thing donald trump is

complaining about with vehicles, interesting, that the eu, he is saying, charges tariffs that are far higher. american cars coming in here faced tariffs of something like 15% or 20%. he is talking about matching those for cars going back. at the minute, the american tariffs on imports arejust minute, the american tariffs on imports are just 2.5%. the problem is that it is consumers who are hurt. not just is that it is consumers who are hurt. notjust here. if he raises ta riffs hurt. notjust here. if he raises tariffs on imports to america, it is ultimately american consumers and very many american otherjobs that could be affected, american car pla nts could be affected, american car plants that assembled these cars, american distributors, american servicing. all of the associated business. the american auto industry is very unsure about the impact of these tariffs itself. that is the difficulty with all of these tariffs that are being imposed, that are being talked about. the knock—on effects can travel very far through

the economy and can end up with consumers paying higher prices in many different areas, in quite unpredictable ways. what is the likelihood of brussels taking this lying down? well, i am sure they will not respond to a presidential tweet. they wouldn't do that here. what they will do as they will wait to see what the american administration does. what we know is that the us administration has already indicated it was instituting already indicated it was instituting a national security review. that was the pretext it used for the tariffs on aluminium and steel, saying it was a threat to national security. they started the same process for ca rs. they started the same process for cars. they have a review going on thatis cars. they have a review going on that is due to report of the summer. but, of course, again, they will face criticism from here, from japan, and internally in america, saying how can imports of cars from our allies be a threat to national security? this is a provision in

world trade rules that is really there in case of wars and things like that. but that might not stop donald trump following through if he wishes. damian grammaticas in brussels. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines... airbus threatens to pull out of the uk — if britain crashes out of the eu without a deal. 6,000 jobs at risk as creditors approve dozens of house of fraser store closures a joyful celebration in westminster abbey for those who arrived in britain on the empire windrush 70 years ago today. and in sport... brazil leave it very late but get their world cup campaign up and running with a 2—0 win against costa rica. gareth soutgate says dele alli is unlikely to play against panama on sunday, he picked up a thigh strain against tunisia. and he made his comeback at queens earlier this week, now andy murray has accepted a wildcard to play a wimbledon warm up tournament at eastbourne next week. i'll be back with more on those stories just after half past.

the un refugee agency estimates that 220 people have drowned off libya in recent days, trying to make the sea crossing to europe. the rescue ship aquarius is now heading there on a new mission. it has made the headlines over the last two weeks after the italian government refused to allow it to drop off migrants on its territory. the aquarius eventually docked in the spanish port of valencia. gavin lee has been on—board. 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. we are going to reduce the capacity on—boa rd, we cannot sail for six days. like we do for two days. we could ta ke like we do for two days. we could take 150 people maximum. 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 ensured 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 could end up. gavin lee on board the aquarius. let's get more now on the warning from aerospace giant airbus that it could leave the uk if there's a no deal brexit. joining me now is steve turner, assistant general secretary at unite the union. first, your reaction to what airbus are saying? the applications in terms ofjobs are matter? absolutely. our members, the families and communities that survive on wage packets will be incredibly concerned tonight. to find out that airbus have gone

public on what has previously been a very private conversation with the government about the future of the uk, after leaving the european union in march 2019. are uk, after leaving the european union in march 20 19. are there uk, after leaving the european union in march 2019. are there are other companies that are in similar discussions? i think those discussions? i think those discussions are absolutely taken place. if they go public is a matter for them. this issue will affect manufacturing across our economy. notjust airbus manufacturing across our economy. not just airbus and manufacturing across our economy. notjust airbus and notjust aerospace. here notjust airbus and notjust aerospace . here we notjust airbus and notjust aerospace. here we are, more than two years after the referendum. what would you have liked to have seen in place by now? businesses and members wa nt place by now? businesses and members want confidence, that we have a secure future post—brexit. we voted to leave the european union and people don't have an issue with that, largely. the issue is how we leave and the circumstances we find ourselves in after march 2019. a ha rd ourselves in after march 2019. a hard brexit would leave us outside of the customs union and the single market, that is a disaster notjust for the aerospace industry and the

supply chain. 110,000 workers in the airbus supply chain itself. 111,000 direct workers and many others as well. isn't very difficulty for the prime minister and those still trying to negotiate with brussels that their position is weak and every time there is a story like this because the eu is going to look at what is happening and say, well, every day their position is weaker and weaker? i think there edition is wea ker every and weaker? i think there edition is weaker every time they have a cabinet meeting. they are negotiating more with themselves in order to placate internal woes than they are with michel barnier and others within the european union. they need to come to a clear position that supports uk industry. future investment, and what of the decisions that have been taken will not come into effect five or ten yea rs not come into effect five or ten years from today. therefore, the board is making those decisions have to work on the basis of how they perceive the european union's position to be in that time period. the uk outside of it is going to be

detrimental to us. you the uk outside of it is going to be detrimentalto us. you know the uk outside of it is going to be detrimental to us. you know all about negotiating. how strong is britain's hand at the moment? very weak, it has been very weak since the referendum and it will become wea k the referendum and it will become weak as we come closer to leaving in march. when we left the european union in march, we will not have a seat at the table, no voice, no meps arguing ourcase, we seat at the table, no voice, no meps arguing our case, we will not be sitting with a council of ministers and losing influence daily. what sort of agreement we are going to reach, it beggars belief.“ sort of agreement we are going to reach, it beggars belief. if the prime minister is watching, the message is... what? we need to be backing uk plc, stop the internal fighting and we need to be clear on what is required to come out of the european union. that is that we retain access to the single market, the largest market, 500 million people. and access to a seamless customs union. without that, any

delays and borders, red tape, outside the regulatory framework, it will mean we are in some difficulty. and it would just be in aerospace. good to talk to us. melania trump has been criticised for the coat she wore on her way to visit to a child migrant detention centre in texas yesterday. as she left for her visit, journalists and photographers spotted writing on the back of the coat — which said "i really don't care, do u?". the first lady's spokeswoman said there was no hidden message in her choice of clothing. so was the first lady's coat just a fashion faux pas or was there a deeper meaning behind it? we can cross to new york to talk to vanessa friedman, fashion director and chief fashion critic for the new york times. thank you forjoining us. there was no hidden message there at all, it was there for all to see? absolutely, it was written on her backin absolutely, it was written on her back in very readable english. so, what do you think she meant by it? do you think she realised what she

was doing? i absolutely think she realised what she was doing. you know, we have a rule in fashion, the rule of three. the first time something happens it could be a flu ke, something happens it could be a fluke, the second time it could be a coincidence, the third time it is a trend. this is at least the third time she has worn a garment that has seemed on the surface of it to be surprising, inappropriate, startling, something else, but also seems absolutely guaranteed when you think about it a little bit to be sending a specific message. i'm missing something, i don't know... who was the message meant for? well, initially everybody‘s first reaction was, of course, my god, this is crazy, this is heartless, directed at the people she is going to see, the children that have been separated from their families at the shelter in texas. i don't think that is true. i think the fact she wore the jacket in front of her press

corps as she got onto the plane and then again as she got off after coming back from texas, it suggests that the message was very much towards the world that is always watching her, that is assessed with the clothes she put on. to me, to the clothes she put on. to me, to the media, to you, not necessarily to the people her husband seem to think, or announced on twitter, that it was. the fake media. in fact, the people that are really interested in whatever the first lady does because she is a representative of the country and her husband's administration. i am sure you have heard the view that perhaps it was a message to her own husband? well, the people that are the free melania tea m the people that are the free melania team would like to believe that. it often feels like it is a coded message from a private diary she is keeping and we only get to see part of the text, but not all of it. so there is a gulf in understanding what she really wants to say. in fashion terms, not bad for zara?

didn't want to comment on this one, which is understandable. zara has found itself the subject of various faux pas, whether something had pepe the qatar on it, if that was misinterpreted. but any publicity is good publicity. -- pepe the frog. one of the papers describes it as a fla k one of the papers describes it as a flak jacket, it has one of the papers describes it as a flakjacket, it has created a storm? melania trump is a figure of intense fascination for almost everybody, largely because she has been very silent. she has been as willing as her husband to break many of the conventions of her office. therefore, every time she appears in public, everything she wears, every sentence she utters, is passed and

analysed and obsessed over. i think she is very aware of that. great pleasure to talk to you. thank you for your time. time for a look at the weather. ben is here with some positive news if you like sunshine and warmth? absolutely, and some people don't, and those people will not like it because there is a lot of it in the forecast. things are really not changing very much at all as we go through the next few days. we will see more scenes like this. doesn't this make you to the beach and get into one of those hats in scarborough? it's amazing, nobody there in the picture at all. there isn't. when you're ready! ijust wa nted isn't. when you're ready! ijust wanted to check the facts. let's talk facts, when is a heatwave not a heatwave? the newspapers have had stories about heatwaves. you asked

me yesterday, everybody i have met askedif me yesterday, everybody i have met asked if it will be a heatwave. what does that mean? we are not expecting to get temperatures like these. these are the record june temperatures. 36, what is that in old money? gosh! it is 90 something, quite a lot. about 97. that is pretty hot. in the uk, we have got to 30 year before. i will watch twitter, i will know by the end of the forecast. even in northern ireland and scotland we have 3132 degrees. what is a heatwave? well, there are all kinds of different definitions depending on who you ask. the title world meteorological organisation are a pretty good standard and they say to get a heatwave we need temperatures 5 degrees or more above the average for five consecutive days. thejune average, depending on where you are,

15 or 20 degrees. are they going to get 5 degrees above the average? i have picked manchester as an example and look at that. they will. they will stay there as well. we have gone up to thursday, friday is not going to get any cooler. most parts of the country, if not all, are expecting five days of above average temperatures. i don't know about you, the thing that i hate about hot weather is the hot nights. oh, yes. not for you? no. you might like this. the nights have been really chilly. last night some spots got down close to freezing. the temperatures were climb into next week, but 1617 is getting a bit warm, but we can have nights back into the high teens or low 20s and it does not look like we will see nights like that. before we get into that, what have we got at the weekend? it is looking pretty nice, sunshine

on the way. this is how the day has shaped up here, more cloud into scotla nd shaped up here, more cloud into scotland and northern ireland, a very small chance that we could have a shower across northern ireland this afternoon but only a small chance. the best the sunshine, in the 20s, 26 in parts of the south—east, always cooler further north—east with more breeze and cloud. through tonight, plenty of sunshine, but when the sun goes down the temperatures will dip. they will dip in ourtowns the temperatures will dip. they will dip in our towns and cities to around 6—7, and in the countryside down to just around 6—7, and in the countryside down tojust a around 6—7, and in the countryside down to just a couple of degrees. i pressure is our friend as we start the weekend sliding closer to our shores —— high—pressure. there is a weather front bringing more clout in the north of scotland, and a keen breeze. —— cloud. away from here

plenty of sunshine. maybe some wispy cloud, that might turn the sunshine hazy at times but it went spoilt things and those temperatures still creeping up, 18—24, but if you suffer from hay fever, creeping up, 18—24, but if you sufferfrom hay fever, this creeping up, 18—24, but if you suffer from hay fever, this does creeping up, 18—24, but if you sufferfrom hay fever, this does not make welcome viewing. high pollen levels as we start the weekend. that when change on sunday, but what will change, sunshine all the way for most of us, with a bit of patchy cloud. look closely at the chart. slightly lighter colours, cooler conditions for coastal parts with a sea breeze developing and if these temperatures inland, 25, 26, they are too hot for you, then go to the coast. and then confirmation, temperatures climbing, 28 by day, a bit cooler by night. and precious little rain in the forecast.

this is bbc news — our latest headlines. downing street says it's confident of a good brexit deal following a warning from airbus that it could leave the uk — if britain crashes out of the eu without any agreement. creditors have approved plans by house of fraser for dozens of store closures across the uk, which could lead to 6,000 job losses. the eu slaps import tariffs on a wide range of american goods in retaliation for us steel tariffs. president trump has now threatened a 20% levy on european cars. and there has been a joyful celebration at westminster abbey to mark 70 years since the empire windrush docked — but the government continues to face criticism, after some of the windrush generation wrongly faced deportation. sport now on afternoon live with catherine downes. good afternoon.

we have had tears at the world cup, with brazil beating costa rica. there was drama at the end of that match, as if they had won the world cup? they were tears of relief in st petersburg and we thought another shock result was on the cards at the world cup because they were so frustrated by costa rica, who will now be going home early. neymar and company tried everything they could. neymar thought he had won a penalty and the referee awarded it but it went to the var, and he decided that neymar had made a meal of it. it was overturned. goal is heading into injury time and coutinho got the

opening goalfor brazil. and you can't keep a good man down, neymar has opened his account here in russia with a second. we thought it was going to be one of those cases of going down to the final round of matches in their group, but now brazil of a relieved to be top of their group. we will find out later where they stand because serbia face the swiss later. the match is under way at the moment, it must be boiling hot there. this is so important regarding argentina. argentina were staffed by croatia. —— stuffed. iceland getting the opening draw against argentina, of course. it is goalless at the

moment. these are the live pictures. still goalless after half an hour. argentina will want nigeria to win and then nigeria need to be nigeria in their last match —— beat. the a nyway in their last match —— beat. the anyway ice and can finish above —— and then the only way iceland can finish above argentina will be by beating croatia. 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. very unlikely dele alli will play any part, so that leaked team sheet, doesn't mean loftus—cheek will get a

start? where players going to be rested anyway? —— worth. —— worth. still goalless in the match between iceland and nigeria. thanks for joining us. andy murray has accepted a wildcard invitation to play at a wimbledon warm up event at eastbourne next week as he continues his comeback after almost a year out with a hip injury. murray made his return at queen's club earlier this week and played three sest before losing to nick kyrgios. murray had surgery on his right hip injanuary and has since fallen to 156th in the world rankings. the wimbledon championship starts on 2nd july. marin cilic is through to the semi finals at queen's this afternoon. last year's wimbledon runner—up beat sam querrey in straight sets. novak djokovic is also in quarterfinal action, he's all square in the first set against adrian mannario of france. nick kyrgios hit 32 aces

to beat the 2017 champion feliciano lopez in four sets, to set up a semi—final meeting with top seed marin cilic. formula one hasn't visited france for ten years, but it returned today with a bang. 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 repair 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 for mercedes in both practice sessions. novak djokovic has taken the first set against man —— adrian mannarino at queens. thanks forjoining us.

let's return now to the news that airbus has warned that it will reconsider its future in the uk if there's no brexit deal with the eu. the company, which employs 16 thousand people in the uk, said it needed clarity from the government within weeks. the transport secretary chris grayling says that all warnings from major businesses will be taken seriously, but he is confident that government will reach a mutually beneficial deal with the eu. we are very much of the view that we will end up this autumn with a perfectly sensible partnership agreement with the european union and we are one of their biggest export markets and we buy vast amounts of produce from the european union every year so it is in everyone's interests that there should be a sensible trading agreement and we will do everything to reassure business but we remain confident they will be a sensible agreement when we completely negotiations this autumn. a service of thanksgiving has been taking place at westminster abbey to mark 70 years since hundreds of caribbean migrants disembarked from the empire windrush, to help rebuild post—war britain. the government continues to face criticism, after it emerged that some of the windrush generation had wrongly faced deportation. our community affairs correspondent adina campbell reports.

newsreel: seeing the arrival of more than 400 happy jamaicans. they've come to seek work in britain, and are ready and willing to do any kind ofjob that will help... they were welcomed into the uk with hopes of prosperity. nearly 500 caribbean migrants were on board the empire windrush, which docked at tilbury in essex on the 22nd ofjune, 1948. beautiful — those were the days. one of them who made thatjourney 70 years ago was alford gardner. he's lived in leeds for most of his life. but that wasn't his intention. he's still here at the age of 92. i did not know it would be long—term. the plan was just come to england, get a good job, work for four, five years, go back, rear five children and watch my vineyards grow! but it wasn't to be.

within five years, i started a family, married, had bought my house, working hard, settled down. empire windrush marked the beginning of british post—war immigration, and the right to remain was supposed to be legally guaranteed, but changes to uk immigration laws, and problems with paperwork, have blighted the lives of some caribbean migrants and their children. the scale of the windrush scandal first came to light in april earlier this year. if a human being wants to move from one place to another to feed their family, to reunite with their family... ..when those affected started sharing their stories of being denied access to healthcare, losing their homes and jobs, and even being detained. glenda ceasar was born in dominica and came to the uk as a baby in the 19605. she never got a british passport, and lost herjob a few months ago

because she couldn't prove legal status. so many years down the line, we are faced with this — the ship to me, the windrush, it seems to me as if we were just slaves being brought over here. to be punished later on in life. that's the way that i feel. today's thanksgiving service at westminster abbey has been commemorating the valuable contribution of caribbean migrants and their families, but after a turbulent few months the windrush scandal has, and continues to, cast a dark shadow. the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall visited salisbury today to see how the city is recovering following the nerve agent attack in march. the couple's visit came after the city endured weeks of disruption as police investigated the poisoning of the former russian spy sergei skripal, and his daughter yulia. trade was severely affected for many local businesses following the attack. slight change of gear now.

he has one of the most recognisable faces in show business — and this week basil brush is celebrating 50 years in entertainment. since its launch in 1968 the basil brush show has been seen by millions of viewers all over the world and he's still going. a little earlier he popped into the studio. you don't look 50. thank you very much. neither do you, although you are much older than that. the honour is all mine, mr mccoy, and i used to be a big fan of yours in star trek. i thought you were excellent in that and now you have a great career as a newscaster. that wasn't me. 0h. you had that other wonderful career as a jockey, you were so good. that wasn't me. oh, who are you, then? oh, so you are simon mccoy. so you're the real mccoy! boom boom! did you like what i did then? can we talk about your

careerfor a moment? it took me all week to think of that. 50 years, what were the highlights? the beginning is always a good highlight, from the very first episode, 50 years ago last week. me and rodney bewes were there, a couple of unlikely lads. live programme with a live studio audience, we were there to begin the basil brush show and the rest is history. one of the greatest highlights was actually meeting lady di. the show became so huge, i was invited to meet her and wills and harry. can you imagine what that would be like now? maybe they could be asking me back on their programme. how old were they? they were four and seven. i'm not sure how old she was. but she was delightful to me.

she made me a cup of tea. it was like being in someone's rather grand front room and then hosting a birthday party. i think the time is right for a return to kensington palace and meet the other kiddie winkles in there at the moment. if they're watching... yes, if they're watching. this is a news programme and you get your news from the papers. what has caught your eye? well, the news... often there is too much bad news in the news. i want to lighten things up and find those "and finally" items. and the first thing that caught my eye was this little raccoon. i'm a fan of raccoons because i watched guardians of the galaxy and rocky raccoon is in that. any kid watching will know what i'm talking about, but you won't because you're far too old. this raccoon has climbed up the side of this building and we are all very impressed with that because we can't do that. spider—man can do that, tom holland is very good at it.

but this little raccoon, you know what he got when he went to the top? dog food. full of sleeping tablets. he won't be doing that again because they chucked him back in the woods. but i was most impressed that raccoon got to the top. what about the world cup? any tips? who is going to win it? we had that tiger predicting who is going to win the world cup but i'm rather pleased that some of those big teams are not doing so well. argentina got a darn good kicking the other night. brazil are not playing very well. germany got a good kicking as well. can i stick my little foxy neck out? the foxes did it a couple of years ago. leicester city. do you know what, this is a great opportunity for the southgate boys? they will give some of those teams a good caning and all they need is me left back... left back in the changing rooms... and they could go all the way. put a bet on it.

today it could be the day. they are going to take on panama at the weekend. they're famous for hats and cigars and a darn big canal so i think we could get them and put a couple of goals in the back of the net and win the world cup. boom boom! kane! what about your future? this is festival season and you normally do glastonbury? yes, normally at this time of year, glastonbury, and that has been fantastic. this year it is a fallow year. what i love about glastonbury, it's a family festival. my tent is meant to be for the kids. but it has all these 20—year—old5 who knew me when i was on cbbc from 2000 until 2013 — they are there with their parents and the new kids are there, as well, having a good time. so i hope i will be invited back next year, but i will be at a festival in devon.

and also fan fest in warrington in the second week of august. so, yes, festival season, i can rocket, mr simon, with the best of them. you better not do that because you might put your back out. it's great to see you. thanks. can i use these papers for fish and chips later? is that all right? laughter here's your business headlines on afternoon live. the house of fraser rescue has been agreed by creditors after passing a vote on what's known as a company voluntary arrangement. the vote means control of the department store chain will now be sold to the chinese company c banner which will impose huge rent cuts on 10 of its stores, close 31 of the others, cut 6,000 jobs and inject some £70m in new capital.

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 14,000 people at 25 different sites in the uk. 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. the duties on £2.4 billion worth of us goods came into force today. tariffs have been imposed on products such as bourbon whiskey, motorcycles and orange juice. airbus pulling out of the uk if they don't get clarity on brexit? airbus has warned it could leave the uk if it exits the european union single market and customs union without a transition deal. they say the transition period of

two years they say the transition period of two yea rs is they say the transition period of two years is too short for them to rearrange their supply chains. they have something like 4000 suppliers in the uk and they will not extend that, they would not make it any bigger answer they get clarity, so they are desperate to get clarity on what the arrangements are going to be so they can keep the production running smoothly because if not they will build huge amounts of inventory within the uk so they don't get held up within the uk so they don't get held up at borders and when they go through customs checks. it is not about tariffs, because that would not happen, but they are more worried about regular treat alignment —— regular —— regulatory alignment. opec has made a decision? an increase in production. this could mean a reduction in price, but that won't happen because they are really just making up

that won't happen because they are reallyjust making up for a fall in production because of sanctions on iran and venezuela. a5 production because of sanctions on iran and venezuela. as a result the price has been going up, and mr trump has said opec should actually increase production more and opec has said, why should we increase production, because you have started this. so they have increased it editor bit but not much. —— increased it a little bit. what about greece? they are going to pay off their debts by 20 26 —— 2086, which is quite a long time! alpesh patel, ceo praefinium partners and joins me now. they were the principal cause of the european banking crisis and we feared they were going to bring down many of the european economies

because they were making more expensive for the french and italians to borrow money on the international debt market but that has gone. with their national credit ca rd has gone. with their national credit card they have been extended the period of credit and the period of interest—free credit and they have been givena interest—free credit and they have been given a low interest rate credit card with which to pay off more expensive credit card debt and if we got something like that, if we we re if we got something like that, if we were debt—laden, we would be over the moon, and they should be, but the moon, and they should be, but the talk of contagion and the worry about the european banking crisis has receded even more so as a result of this. what about airbus? what are they really worried about? people in favour brexit, and of course visa have said they have a massive supply chain and you can'tjust have said they have a massive supply chain and you can't just switch all of those skilled workforces you have invested in and those companies you are dealing with —— and of course airbus have said. it is not as if

they will move overnight, and of course they are right. it is right for the board to make the standings but the brexiteers will say let's remain calm, there is value for them to be in the uk, and also uncertainty, but then there is always uncertainty and so i think they are overplaying their hand little bit. thanks forjoining us. the markets, the ftse is up recently strongly. jamie, thanks forjoining us. not everyone is as obsessed with brexit as we might be here on the news channel, and indeed some might be a little confused, like love island contestant hayley hughes. while she was in the villa, she asked if brexit meant there wouldn't be trees anymore, admitting she didn't know too much about our departure from the eu. but earlier hayley got her chance to quiz our correspondent in brussels, adam fleming to find out what it's all about.

ido care i do care about brexit but i don't understand it. so hopefully adam will teach me. ask him. what is brexit in a nutshell? it is the process where the uk will leave the european union which has 28 members and after the european union which has 28 members and afterthe uk european union which has 28 members and after the uk goes they will be 27. but you can'tjust and after the uk goes they will be 27. but you can't just walk out the door, there are loose ends to be tied up and that is what they are doing now, having negotiations and talks about how to tie up loose ends, and when they have finished they can then have another set of discussions about what the future relationship between the eu and the uk will look like after brexit. brexit is the name of the process and everything that in sales. —— entails. how will this affect my life and everyone else's? we have

very badly and very well here in the studio. the easy answer is it depends because it depends on what you do in your life and whatjob depends because it depends on what you do in your life and what job you do and where you go and what you wa nt do and where you go and what you want to do in the future and then it depends on the is actually agreed between the two sides and that could between the two sides and that could bea between the two sides and that could be a long way off. it looks like there might be a transition period so after march next year when the uk officially leaves they have done a deal with the eu that most things will stay the same in daily life on till the end of december 2020 so it might not affect your life at all for quite some time. how is he doing so far? yes, i understand. another question. yes, another question, will this make things more expensive? that also depends, because some people will say things already mikes pensive because this has affected the number of euros

that the pound can buy —— more expensive. because of the exchange rate for the other people will say this comes down to comdex things like what kind of trade deal we do with the eu —— complex. and what happens to the uk economy as a result on what happens to the rest of the world economy and the problem is there are so many factors that go into what the costs of things i'd is impossible for me to say... although you talk to people like nigel and alistair campbell and they will definitely have a view. what about a question about love island ? definitely have a view. what about a question about love island? who is your favourite couple? question about love island? who is your favourite couple ?|j question about love island? who is your favourite couple? i have lost track of who is coupled up but i have got to say, if adam were to win that would be good for adams everywhere, although some people think he's a bit evil. sometimes you

just don't know where you are! that's it from your afternoon live team for today, next the bbc news at five. time for a look at the weather. the rest of the afternoon is that if fire with lots of sunshine, but more cloud in northern areas of a shower —— the rest of the afternoon is looking fine. this evening and overnight it will turn relatively chilly, towns and cities down into single digits and in the countryside some areas could get down to 1—3d. a cool start if you are out early tomorrow but temperatures will quickly climb because there will be sunshine. i cloud turning sunshine hazy and more cloud across northern scotla nd hazy and more cloud across northern scotland —— high cloud. temperatures, looking at highs between 17 and 24 and they will
