7:00 am
hello this is breakfast, two years to the day since the eu referendum — and divisions are laid bare. good morning, it's saturday the 23rd june. also this morning: sir david attenborough launches a new campaign to tackle plastic pollution, and says he's been "astonished" by the response to blue planet. will have full coverage of the and the fact there will be two sides on the fact there will be two sides on the brexit from today, the second anniversary of the brexit referendum and both of those for and against brexit are coming out in force. good morning, it is seven o'clock. the us navy is drawing up plans to house thousands of illegal immigrants in detention centres on remote military bases, according to reports.
7:01 am
the department of defence wants to build on facilities to abandon airfield ina build on facilities to abandon airfield in a bid to meet president trump's zero policy against migration. and in sport. yes, in sport, it's all about swiss timing at the world cup. they score two cracking goals to turn their match around against serbia and keep up with brazil at the top of their group. and sarah keith—lucas has the weather. good morning. a dry and warm weekend ahead. the sunshine might be a little hazy at times that the temperatures will be on the up. all of the details in 15 minutes. thank you! good morning. first, our main story: leading cabinet ministers in favour of brexit have gone on the offensive to mark the second anniversary of the eu referendum. the interventions come as anti—brexit campaigners are expected to take part in a large rally in london's parliament square, calling for the public to have a vote on any final deal. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us
7:02 am
—— from jonathan blake. two years on from the vote to leave the european union, the big three brexiteers in cabinet are sounding unsurprisingly optimistic about the uk's future outside the eu — that's despite the warnings we heard yesterday from bmw and airbus about the uncertainty they say it's creating. in an interview recorded with the bbc earlier this week, dr liam fox, the international trade secretary, said that the prime minister wasn't bluffing when she talked about the possibility of walking away from the negotiations without a deal. the prime minister has always said that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and that no deal would be better than a bad deal. and i think it's essential as we enter the next phase of the negotiations that the european union understands that and believes it. i think it has added credibility because if we were to leave, the economic impact on a number of european countries would be severe. the brexit secretary david davis has said that there will be scary times ahead in those negotiations but that a good deal was likely.
7:03 am
and using characteristically colourful language, the foreign secretary borisjohnson said voters did not want what he called a "bog roll brexit — soft, yielding and seemingly infinitely long", as he put it. in response to that, a downing street source said that the uk would be free to strike its own trade deals after 2020. and in another sign that divisions remain about how to approach brexit, later today campaigners will stage a march through central london, calling for the public to be given a vote on the final brexit deal. a fresh campaign to try to tackle plastic pollution is being launched by the bbc today. it's being fronted by sir david attenborough, who says he's "astonished" by the public‘s response to the issue following the tv series blue planet ii. it comes as new footage reveals how plastic is killing seabirds on a remote island off the east coast of australia. simonjones reports. searching for food, but these seabirds are all too often finding
7:04 am
and eating pieces of plastic. tens of thousands of flesh—footed shearwaters nest on this remote island hundreds of miles off the east coast of australia but even here, plastic is killing them. oh, and another. some young birds have so much of it in their stomachs fed to them by their parents that there is no room forfood. to see them emerge at 2.5 months of age, just their stomachs, you know, bursting with plastic, isjust, um, harrowing in a way that i could never have imagined. researchers are now trying to save the birds by flushing out their stomachs. david attenborough: industrial pollution and the discarding of plastic waste must be tackled. it was the bbc‘s blue planet ii that opened many people's eyes. a recent survey suggested 62% of us want to make changes to our daily lives to reduce the impact of plastic pollution on the oceans.
7:05 am
now, a new season of programmes called plastics watch is going to offer help to change our habits. right now, 8 million tons of plastics ends up in the oceans every year. but you, by your responses, have shown that if we start doing those small steps that are easily achievable, we can, before long, really have an effect. whether it's cutting down on single—use plastics or litter—picking on the beaches, the message is we can do something. simon jones, bbc news. plans to house tens of thousands of illegal immigrants in detention centres on remote american military bases are being drawn up by the us navy, according to a time magazine report. it suggests the department of defense wants to build facilities on abandoned airfields in a bid to meet president trump's zero—tolerance policy against unlawful migration. our north america correspondent chris buckler has more. just inside america's border,
7:06 am
only miles from mexico, this is one of the shelters were children are being held. —— this is one of the shelters where children are being held. from there, you can see young people being ushered between the makeshift structures in what is being called a tent city. the pictures of cages and crying that have emerged from texas last week led president trump to reverse his policy of separating migrant parents from their children. he has given every indication that he did so against his natural instincts, and the president returns to arguing for tougher laws as he shared a platform with families who have had relatives killed by immigrants. they are not separated for a day or two days, they are permanently separated, because they were killed by a criminal illegal aliens. these are the families the media ignores. they don't talk about them. this border divides, and the president believes his
7:07 am
supporters are on his side, as he pushes once again for the american authorities to tackle illegal immigration. there are reports that the us navy is currently working on new plans to build what have been described as "temporary and austere" detention centres. it is claimed the facilities, in abandoned airfields, are designed to hold up to 25,000 migrants. translation: it is not ok what they are doing, because you are treated like a criminal when all you have been doing is working there. i don't take drugs or anything like that. i have just been working. it's not fair what they are doing to us. there is unlikely to be any let—up in the pressure at the border, and with congressional elections only months away, it will remain a focus on how america deals with the problem on its doorstep. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. two thirds of drivers are not aware of the penalties for using a mobile phone at the wheel more than a year after tougher laws were introduced. a poll by the rac found that many
7:08 am
motorists didn't know the punishment had doubled with offenders now facing six penalty points and a £200 fine. drivers with less than two years‘ experience can also face an automatic ban. the rules apply in england, scotland and wales. the pentagon has cancelled two joint marine training exercises with south korea. it follows the decision earlier in the week to suspend a majorjoint military exercise between the two countries, which was planned for august. the pentagon said the move was part of the agreement reached between president trump and the north korean leader kim jong—un in singapore earlier this month. netflix has sacked its director of communications jonathan friedland for using a racially offensive word in two meetings. in a company—wide email, chief executive reed hastings told staff the language used had shown "unacceptably low racial awareness and sensitivity". england are hoping to secure a place in the last 16 world cup teams tomorrow with victory
7:09 am
over panama tomorrow. fans have been arriving in nizhny novgorod, where the game will take place. we have to get used to saying that, we will be saying that a lot in the next 2a hours. it's a city that was closed off to foreigners until just a few weeks ago, as sarah rainsford reports. this is nizhny novgorod as it has never been before. a city closed to foreigners in soviet times is now wide open to the world. there are football fans from all over, enjoying the party. there's even the odd england supporter. for now, though, it is the fans from panama that are most conspicuous. and some, like the lopez family, are confident ahead of the england match. what's your score prediction? 3-0. 3—0 to panama? 0oh! you're optimistic! many england fans have been put off coming to russia by the politics
7:10 am
between the uk and this country, but one thing has become clear with this world cup — that russia is doing everything in its power to show its best face to the world. so the covers have finally come off the onion domes and the embankment is open at last, after years hidden behind a giant fence. that's where we found two england fans, though their journey from moscow wasn't the easiest. seven hours in the back of a transit van from moscow to nizhny. really excited for tomorrow. like, should be a really good game. we should win as well. like, seeing england win at the world cup — not many people can say they have done that. the venue where that might just happen is here, across the river volga. a brand—new stadium for a city clearly enjoying its brand—new image as the world cup party descends. sarah rainsford, bbc news, nizhny novgorod. certainly getting into the spirit. party time! now a lovely story to
7:11 am
bring you. a california black bear had to be freed by police after finding itself trapped inside a car during a hunt for scraps of food. the footage released by the placer county sheriff's office shows the creature stuck inside a vehicle near a campsite at california's lake tahoe. the bear is in the back of the car there. and there he goes, hejumps out. thankfully he was not hurt. in slow motion he leaps through, the glass will be a bit of a danger! but the security officer does a good job running away. you would not want to get too close. they are both fine. la ke get too close. they are both fine. lake tahoe. if you go down to the la ke lake tahoe. if you go down to the lake today... more than 100,000 people have signed a petition calling for premier league and championship clubs to allow safe standing at football matches in england and wales. earlier this year, a pilot scheme at west bromwich albion was rejected, but now the government says the "time is right" and on monday, mps will debate the issue. marta newman has more. it was once an integral part of the
7:12 am
beautiful game. but standing in top tier football has been beautiful game. but standing in top tierfootball has been banned beautiful game. but standing in top tier football has been banned since 1989. all seated stadiums was one of the recommendations made in the taylor report into the hillsborough disaster which claimed the lives of 96 liverpool fans. supporters of safe standing stay it would mean the return of the open terraces of the 19805, return of the open terraces of the 1980s, each person would still have an allocated place in the stadium. so—called rail seating consists of fault in seats incorporated into a robust metal frame that forms a waist high rail for robust metal frame that forms a waist high railfor people in the i’ow waist high railfor people in the row behind. seats can be locked down in the event requires seating all locked up when spectators are allowed to stand in the space. the system has already been used in many stadiums in germany and at celtic park. we're joined by brian caldwell
7:13 am
who is the chief executive of shrewsbury town fc. the league one club is the first in england and wales to install safe standing. thank you forjoining us. why did you take the decision to put this in? this actually came back from our supporters, two of the guys in the supporters, two of the guys in the supporters parliament came to me and askedif supporters parliament came to me and asked if i would consider putting in real seats, they would crowdfunded the money, and obviously i wanted to back it because i could see the benefits of having a safe standing area and being the first club in england and wales to do it so be raised money over the last year or so raised money over the last year or so and have had it installed, 555 rail seats. you can see some of the pit is their offbeat seats being installed , pit is their offbeat seats being installed, what you think the benefits will be? i think you look at it across football, people stand at it across football, people stand at the seats which to me is unsafe
7:14 am
straightaway, all you are providing is the fans the choice, if they want to stand they can but they can stand ina to stand they can but they can stand in a safe place. these safe standing areas you can see, they are good, they are safe, and it is like the old days of being crushed in a terracing unit, it is a safe solution to those who want to stand. it frustrates me to see so many people around in the premiership championship and all divisions standing at seats which isn't safe. in there will be one word which calls this whole debate and that his hillsborough. a of people will look back and say, do we want to go back toa back and say, do we want to go back to a situation where we have standing as it used to be. was that pa rt standing as it used to be. was that part of your calculation, that thinking about that, when you made the decision? it's totally different what we've got and shrewd spree. that —— shrewd spree. this is a safe
7:15 am
environment for people to stand in. we've actually had some good support. we have supporters around the country you donated to our crowd funding campaign. quite a number of liverpool supporter groups have come out and said they support safe standing because they realise it isn't like what happened at hillsborough. it's actually an individual safe standing area. it's been proven successful. i'm sure once people see what we've done in shewsbury town, they will like it. safe standing, it is interesting. what makes it safer wormwood ‘s stand on the terraces? it's almost like having a seat that the seat is pushed up. everybody has got an individual rail at waist height in front of them and behind them. it's
7:16 am
been proven successful. we've seen the benefits of it. i went to guys go to see celtics and how safe it was. it is incredibly safe and it was. it is incredibly safe and it was impressive how safe it was. it's been proven to be safe. at least 555 places. hopefully we can show the rest of the uk how successful this is. can you easier situation you install more? you can never say neverin install more? you can never say never in football. you always look to the future but we started that number, 555 and there is demand for more, we can increase more. we've also got to be conscious of more
7:17 am
seats in that area because it's no standing. at the end of the day, it's giving fans choice. people want a standard football. does this allow you to get more people in, more people through the gates? increased capacity? it's easy to sing when you are standing up so it will improve the atmosphere. it will hopefully encourage more young people as well. there is a generation had not been able to standard football. but sorry, does it mean that you can get more people into the same space? no, it's one for one. at the moment, as
7:18 am
we are the first club in england and wales to install it, we have it on a 1—for—1 basis. wales to install it, we have it on a 1-for-1 basis. understood. we will watch closely how it goes. good luck to you next season. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's going to be a lovely debut would like sunshine. it's going to be scorching. good morning to you both. we have got some beautiful weather on the cards. if you are a fan of that dry, warm and sunny weather. not everybody is. it's going to be looking pretty decent for many of us. here is the scene this morning in cambridge. the ready got that blue sky and a bit of high cloud drifting around. that is sit there through the weekend. things looking
7:19 am
fine for the vast majority of the country. those temperatures warming up country. those temperatures warming up through the weekend and beyond. let's ta ke up through the weekend and beyond. let's take a look at the next few days. we have these yellow colours but heading through the weekend, the colour is starting to turn more and more rusted, indicating the warm air thatis more rusted, indicating the warm air that is going to be piling in from the near continent. today, it's quite fresh out there. temperatures well down in single figures. lots of beautiful sunshine on offer, particularly across england and wales. particularly to the north of scotland, the crowd producing spots of rain. quite breezy to the north of rain. quite breezy to the north of scotland. temperatures between around 17 or 18 degrees in the north. 2324 degrees. that sunshine sticks around into the evening. still quite cloud is the final of
7:20 am
scotla nd still quite cloud is the final of scotland with some outbreaks of rain. elsewhere in those clear skies, and other dry start to the sunday morning as temperatures just about dip into single figures. here is our high pressure. it stays with us is our high pressure. it stays with us well and truly through the day on sunday. more sunshine. some high cloud drifting around. down towards kent around about 25 degrees. more sunshine as well. high—pressure keeping things live. widely into the
7:21 am
mid—to high 20s. some of us, particularly towards the midlands, could see the magic 30 degrees mark. do watch out for the high levels of uv. there's high pollen around as well. for some children with chronic conditions such as asthma and cancer they can miss months of their education. that could start to change, thanks to the help of a high tech robot. 0ne school in oxford is the first in the uk to provide students with the technology allowing them to live stream lessons into their home or hospital bed. louisa currie reports. adam, what number did you choose? i chose 521. first lesson on wednesday, maths. plenty of kids would groan at the thought but for those with severe illnesses, school can be the normality they leave ——
7:22 am
needin can be the normality they leave —— need in their lives. you can begin to get a bit bored really with computer games all day, a strange as that may seem. and i reallyjust missed seeing my friends. i became a bit socially disconnected from everybody so it was really nice to go in and see everybody. 13-year-old adam hasjoined go in and see everybody. 13-year-old adam has joined his go in and see everybody. 13-year-old adam hasjoined his classmates go in and see everybody. 13-year-old adam has joined his classmates from home today. he was diagnosed with bone cancer in december. it would be really nice if everyone in my situation could have a robot go in for me when they can't go in. it kind of seems a bit strange, this is the first time it really being tested. it feels like a bit more of normality for him and it's quite exciting, the kids like it, they like to see him in class, the teachers have enjoyed having him backin teachers have enjoyed having him back in the class so he feels now likely small part of school life again. these robots allow their users to see, here, move around and
7:23 am
interact in real time with classmates and teachers, despite not physically being there. they are thought to be the first in the uk. we are teaching adam in hospital when he is there that his treatment and also teaching him at home as pa rt and also teaching him at home as part of our outreach service and this is a supplementary extra to help maintain the link. you forget it's a robot and you just go, no, it's a robot and you just go, no, it's adam, we talked at, he can be my lesson and that is what we want. adam has been trialling the first robot. the second will be given to a pupilfrom a robot. the second will be given to a pupil from a local robot. the second will be given to a pupilfrom a local primary robot. the second will be given to a pupil from a local primary school. if you come across a leaf that has a distinctive zigzag pattern, chances are a rare insect has paid a visit. scientists at edinburgh's royal botanical gardens say the zigzag elm sawfly has landed and it could be damaging the country's elm tree population. let's get more detail on this from the conservationist, nick atkinson from the woodland trust who joins us now. it's fascinating. it works in
7:24 am
between. it's a little fly that lays its eggs. when the eggs hatch into caterpillars. it's almost when you reach the thicker part of the leaf. it leaves the zig—zag pattern. while this upset by this? this is a flyer that was first discovered in 2003 and eliminates from east asia. it's found its way over to europe. recently, the edinburgh botanical gardens. should we be worried? yes.
7:25 am
a single caterpillar can only do a certain amount of damage. that is the problem, and the other wildlife. the fly itself can have up to four generations a year. is there something missing in the ecosystem which means this lava is a much damage. it's found its way into europe at the start of the century, spread its way across rapidly and thatis spread its way across rapidly and that is because it hasn't got the predators that keep it in check. birds, the usual things that each small insects. apart from going off
7:26 am
to get predators, what can we do to stop the march? this feels like the cat is out of the bag already. it spreads very quickly. it only takes a single individual. it won't be long. not much that we can do. there are measures we can take to prevent bringing in further pathogens. you say there is not much we can chew through. will we see elm trees go? the elm is one of our most iconic tree species and dominated the southern landscape until the 60s and 70s. dutch elm disease was a disaster. that knocked out 26 million mature trees. what were got left is really the remnants of that and in particular, there is the
7:27 am
national elm collection in brighton and hove of 17,000 elm trees and obviously they are now at threat from this beastie. if we can't do anything, you are loath to sate, insecticidal pesticides that can use, that are safe? probably not. the problem with this one is, because it's so mobile, it willjust come back in again. it's not a hopeless message. the point about this is it's an example of a pest thatis this is it's an example of a pest that is coming from a different part of the world. we need to put measures in place to stop further things coming in. in the first instance, we would like to track where it is in the country. there is a website called 0bservatory where people can go and register through the tree alerts page with they can
7:28 am
upload a photograph, provide information about where they have observed this pattern in the leaves. so that's the first thing. the second thing is that people should think carefully before bringing plant material back into the country and were now buying plant material, that they can insist on stuff that is sourced and grown in the uk. can we remind people what we need to look out for. the zig—zag flyer, thatis look out for. the zig—zag flyer, that is what you are looking for. very distinctive looking creatures. that is the damage that it causes. we've heard it does a whole lot more than that. you reported on the tree alerts website. the 0bservatory website. what is the web address? 0bservatory.org.uk.
7:29 am
website. what is the web address? 0bservatory. org.uk. i website. what is the web address? 0bservatory.org.uk. i did not do anything about it but it sounds like something we should be thinking about. imagine that, everyone taking a walk in the sunshine and looking at the leaves. ed sheeran isjust one of the high profile artists tackling touts, he's cancelled thousands of tickets for his stadium tour after spotting known touts looking to sell them on at inflated prices. now an arts festival in scotland is using virtual tickets in a bid to end fraud at music and theatre events. we will see that festival weather shortly and the sport from m. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty.
7:30 am
here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: leading cabinet ministers in favour of brexit and campaigners who want to reverse the result of the eu referendum are marking the second anniversary of the vote. international trade minister liam fox says european politicians need to know that theresa may is not bluffing when she says the uk is prepared to walk away if it is offered a bad deal. protesters are expected to take part in a rally in london's parliament square calling for the public to have a vote on any final deal. a fresh effort to try to help people do more to protect the environment from plastic pollution is being launched by the bbc. sir david attenborough says he's "astonished" by the public‘s response to the issue following the wildlife series,
7:31 am
blue planet ii. the bbc‘s new plastics watch initiative brings together information to help the public find out how they can best deal with plastics. plans to house tens of thousands of illegal immigrants in american detention centres on military bases are being drawn up by the us navy, according to a time magazine report. it is thought that this is in a bid to meet president trump's zero—tolerance policy against unlawful migration. it follows a climbdown by the president following criticism of the immigration policy which saw thousands of parents separated from their children. meanwhile, the pentagon has cancelled two joint marine training exercises with south korea. it follows the decision earlier in the week to suspend a majorjoint military exercise between the two countries, which was planned for august. the pentagon said the move was part of the agreement reached between president trump and the north korean leader kim jong—un in singapore earlier this month. two thirds of drivers are not aware of the penalties for using a mobile
7:32 am
phone at the wheel more than a year after tougher laws were introduced. a poll by the rac found that many motorists didn't know the punishment had doubled with offenders now facing six penalty points and a £200 fine. drivers with less than two years' experience can also face an automatic ban. the rules apply in england, scotland and wales. 12 fire engines and more than 80 firefighters are tackling a blaze at an industrial estate in east london this morning. residents in the local area have been advised to keep their doors and windows closed while emergency services work to get the fire under control. it's the second major blaze this year at the business park in leyton. the cause of the fire is not yet known. yesterday apparently was bring your
7:33 am
dog to work day. you have cats. my doggies hundreds of miles away so could not bring them in. —— my dog is. if you thought some of your colleagues were barking yesterday, you might well have been right. that's because it was bring your dog to work day. it started 20 years ago to promote dog adoptions and yesterday, thousands of people shared snaps of their pooches working 9:00 to 5:00. this was a post from maybethecorgi on instagram who was hard at work in the office, even if he did need his glasses to see the screen properly. somehow, do not think those glasses belong to that corgi. and this is buddy the staffordshire bull terrier who had protective clothing to help his dad out at the building site. jacob and teddy dressed up for the occasion, choosing to wear these bow ties. very smart! it isn't dress down day in that office, is it? and, of course, dogs in the workplace is nothing new — this is the presenter of radio 4's pm preparing for last saturday programme. this is you! paddy 0'connell polls dog on a colleague from the radio,
7:34 am
to talk about how dogs communicate with us and they are very rare in fa ct a cross with us and they are very rare in fact across species interact and, they communicate, there has been some research to show they know how to read us and get us to do things. that dog was not my best friend, he was paddy's best friend. a lovely dog but he loves paddy. maybe you need cats. i love dogs! i love cats! a too. we should have a dog in here. well, we have, haven't we? we have had ajaguar well, we have, haven't we? we have had a jaguar in well, we have, haven't we? we have had ajaguar in here. he was on well, we have, haven't we? we have had a jaguar in here. he was on the sofa. she was lovely. mike's here with the sport. the world cup is interesting because so many times in the past the eventual champions have had slow start and people have written them off to do that to the likes of brazil have i very much alive, and
7:35 am
argentina, who live another day even without kicking a ball because of what nigeria did. write them off at your peril. and germany need a result after losing their opening game. the big east are back. the big beast are beginning to stir! some brilliant goals and some late ones too. let's start with brazil — many people's favourites. 0n the pitch yesterday, they had to be patient before scraping past costa rica with two late goals. but it was a mixed day for their star man neymar as alex gulrajani reports. it is an emotional business, being your country's main man at the world cup, especially if you're brazilian and you happen to be the world's most expensive player. life for neymar in russia hadn't gone to plan in the opening game and for all the flicks and tricks against costa rica, the end result was usually this. time and time again, his flow was interrupted by some untoward opponents, the referee less than sympathetic to his cause. untilfinally, a breakthrough — a penalty. the turning point for neymar in russia perhaps? until the officials looked elsewhere and had a change of heart —
7:36 am
not what he wanted to hear. so with brazil heading for a second consecutive draw, it was his team—mate philippe coutinho who saved the day in the last minute of the match. brazil head over heels — quite literally for some — but could neymar end the game with a flourish? you bet he would. the tricks came off and a goal to finish. the main man back in form. pressure? what pressure? alex gulrajani, bbc news. i promised you some brilliant goals, here comes the best of yesterday's offerings. a stunner from arsenal midfielder granit jacka for switzerland to equalise against serbia, made even more difficult when you see just how much the ball was spinning when he hit it. and then, they broke right at the end stoke city's xherdan shaqiri, going clear to snatch the 2—1 win for switzerland. they're now level on points
7:37 am
with brazil in group e. now one of the worst aspects at this world cup has been the wrestling matches in the penalty box when corners are taken. harry kane was the victim against tunisa but this one was even worse — serbia denied a penalty, despite striker aleksandar mitrovic being taken down in a swiss sandwich went completely unpunished. even be var didn't intervene. everyone must have seen that, commentators, fans, everyone, taken down by two players. it has been a theme so far that those kind of incidents are going unpunished. i wonder if the technology is so worried about where the ball is that it isn't necessarily looking at... maybe. 0r whether that kind of thing doesn't need punishing? what was the referee looking at? you probably have a better clue than me! meanwhile in group d,
7:38 am
we got a first world cup viewing of the tournament's must—have fashion item, the nigeria home shirt. they sold three million of them on the day they were released. many more were left disappointed as they couldn't get hold of them. and they may have gone up in value after a stunning second half from ahmed musa against iceland. he added a second to give nigeria theirfirst win of the tournament in that now famous shirt that keeps argentina very much alive. messi and co were really cheering on those goals. let's talk about england, and that leaked team sheet that's still getting plenty of coverage this morning. let's speak to our sports correspondent david 0rnstein, who's at the england training camp in repino for us this morning. morning, david. is the feeling there that this team sheet business can now be put to one side as focus switches to panama? i think ithink so, i think so, if this is the biggest story we are talking about going in
7:39 am
world cup match it suggests england are probably having a fairly smooth tournament so far. welcome to the stadium here, this is where england will train every day while they are in the world cup, there will not be so many people here today from the media because most of them have moved onto nizhny novgorod ahead of the match against panama. but this was a big story yesterday, to be honest, it happened the day before when an image was captured of a piece of paper held in the hand of the assistant manager steve holland during an open training sessions are cameras were allowed in and it had some names on it, was it the team sheet, was it not? it wasn't a big story on the day but yesterday the manager gareth southgate draw attention to it, saying it is up to the media to decide if they want to help opposition or not and suddenly we thought maybe this was the team sheet after all there is debate over what moral stance the media should take, whether england to overreact to it by what we know is they are relaxed about it, they don't have a
7:40 am
problem with the media doing their job and steve holland, the man holding a piece of paper, huddo ‘s hands up to the squad and apologised and said it is his fault. but here from one of the players now. if you guys are trying to keep it to yourself and don't ring adaptor the world because it is not going to help us in the latest date of the tournament, we cannot get there because all of the rest of the world has seen a team now, if that is the team, or if not, but as they say you guys have to do your little bit so if you could please help us in that and be a bit polite. and we don't need any leaks to speculate that delle ali is likely to miss out tomorrow? it seems so, dele alli is the only injury concern, he has been training away from the main group and it sounds like he has been making fairly good progress from a thigh strain he picked up in the opening match against tunisia. he struggled through much of the match but did actually play on with it. i have it
7:41 am
wasn't so why is because it seems to have hampered him since. england without him, what will they do? maybe turn to ruben loftus—cheek who made an impact off the bench, maybe raheem sterling may be dropped to the bench with marcus rashford coming infor the bench with marcus rashford coming in for him and also a good impact of the substitute's against tunisia. they are facing panama beaten 4—1 by belgium in the opening round of matches and england are expected to win, if they do there is a child that will fill their place in the last 16, of course but depends on what happens today with belgium against tunisia. apart from little around potential team sheets, also a dislocated shoulder for manager gareth southgate which he picked up going on a run on the team bosma day off, everything is going smoothly, but team is in high spirit on the pitch and off pitch they are having fun and there has been a good relationship with the media and this
7:42 am
is the first test of that but if england could win against panama going into next week the belgian match in theirfinal going into next week the belgian match in their final game, going into next week the belgian match in theirfinal game, things will be good. david, we will leave it there, thank you indeed. i am worried about the sprinkler behind him. talk about leaks in the england! it looks warm there so maybe it might be progression. —— refreshing. as for today's fixtures, at 1pm belgium, take on tunisia — that's in england's group. then at 4pm, it's south korea versus mexico. and later, germany really need to win against sweden if they're to stay in this world cup. coverage on bbc one and bbc radio 5 live. so little is known about panama, really, in the group but i've been looking it up, £250 a week, they have the queue up for their wages in
7:43 am
a czech four they have a dangerous weapon — there keeper has a long throw in and why should that worry england fanned? you remember i slant? they were undone by a long throw to beware of the long throw ins. can you find out what the longest throw in is? what is a good one! because what makes a long throw in? don't say it is long! if you king get into the penalty box at speed, pace, and accuracy. from where? the halfway line. 0bviously offa where? the halfway line. 0bviously off a pitch but if you can get into the penalty box. it interesting to find out, wouldn't it. i think we need to throw to the weather.m find out, wouldn't it. i think we need to throw to the weather. it is looking glorious out there. dry, warm, sunny conditions. not everybody likes the weather warm and dry. blue sky, and is of high cloud
7:44 am
around. certainly the weather will be warming up through the weekend on to the vast majority of others, it's staying dry and fine. if we take a look at the air mass, we have this yellow and maths. it is reasonably warm but over the next few days, if you watch the colours, it's turning increasingly orange. particularly through the course. lots of sunshine on offer. the sunshine turning a bit hazy this afternoon. cloud producing a few spots of rain. quite breezy through the north of scotland. temperatures between 1718. we will
7:45 am
hold onto the sunshine into the evening. clear skies overnight, just a bit more cloud. creeping down into the east coast of england. as they have been over the past couple of nights. here is the area of high pressure driving our weather. well and truly staying with us on sunday. pushing those weather fronts to the north. rain clearing away from shetland and the best of us, looking like another beautiful day. a bit more sunshine and we have out there today. a little bit of high cloud across england and wales. but breezy around the coast. slightly cooler with sea breezes developing. into monday, those temperatures are going to be picking up even more. a warm, sunny, dry day. the cloud to the far
7:46 am
north—west of scotland. blue skies all the way. the sum of us, the high 20s. temperatures continuing to build. in fact, for some of us, we may well see the top temperature up to around 30 degrees. somewhere to the west of london, temperatures well above average. watch out the high levels of poland. —— pollen. the recent news technology which is scottish arts festival is taking on the touts with. # everything's reminding me of you. ed sheeran at this year's biggest weekend, one of the latest artists to declare
7:47 am
war against touts. on his latest tour, he targeted some secondary sites. ticket touts make a profit by selling them at vastly inflated prices — in some cases, up to eight times the original value. pop concerts and big events are often targeted by ticket touts. they snap them up as soon as they go on sale and then resell them at sky—high prices, meaning fans sometimes end up paying far more than the face value. no—one we spoke to waiting to see demi lovato in glasgow had paid over the odds but some had been caught out in the past. in cork in ireland, yeah i paid, like, i think it was 100 euro each for two tickets. for what? and they were bad seats! for my sisters. for what? for ed sheeran. it's not fair to charge, like, extra money for a ticket. if you've paid a certain price, you just charge it for that or lower. cost me 200 and something for tickets for my daughter and her two pals, so yeah, i got well fleeced.
7:48 am
fringe by the sea is a growing art and music festival in north berwick. this year, it expects to sell around 30,000 tickets and it's piloting a new system which tracks the journey of the ticket in the hope to beat the touts. yeah, fringe by the sea is a very small festival with small, intimate venues with a maximum capacity of 600, so what we see is that gigs can sell out in ludicrously quick time for some of the bigger artists. last year, we had kt tunstall who sold out within two minutes and where those tickets went, we are not entirely sure as we're not able to track as efficiently as we are with the new system. these are the performance of the future. it's hoped the technology the company working with the fringe by the sea is using will protect them and their audiences. basically what we do is we use identity profiling of each person to make sure they are not a ticket tout or someone dodgy. we then link all that to a wallet rather than a ticket, so you're handing over your whole identity in wallet form, rather than just an individual ticket that can kind of go
7:49 am
the next day. and then we link all that to a blockchain so it's on an open ledger and transparent for everyone to see. this is the biggest test for this new system to date. if it works here, the company says the sky is the limit for the scale of events they can work with and beat the touts. katrina renton, bbc news. we'll bring you the headlines at 8:00. time now for newswatch. hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. victory for england in the world cup on monday, but we hear why not all bbc news viewers were celebrating. and newsnight‘s emily maitlis has a run—in with a german politician. the first full week of the world cup divided the nation into happy and often excited fans, and disgruntled, often angry non—enthusiasts. many of the latter felt the tv schedules and news output were being taken over by football, with england's first game on monday already the top headline 12 hours
7:50 am
before it kicked off. you're watching bbc breakfast. the wait is almost over, england make their debut at the 2018 world cup. this morning, the team have appealed for fans to get behind them as they prepare to take on tunisia tonight. get behind us, we'll give it a real go. we aren't there to lay up, we will go there and give it a go. gillian grey tweeted her dissatisfaction with that. the news channel and bbc one news bulletins continue to look forward to the match during the course of the day, and to look back to england's victory
7:51 am
the following day when it took top billing. carol peters contacted us and send us this video. i'm very aware ofjust how important england playing in the world cup right now is to the people of the uk, but i question if it actually suitable to be the lead story of headline news on bbc breakfast as it was on 19june. at a time when we have so many other news stories going on. the refugee crisis of italy, brexit, trump's america, and holding children away from the parents. but no, instead we get england winning one football match at the world cup as the headline news story. bbc breakfast has an excellent sports bulletin, and it was extensively covered there. so why was also covered as the headline news story? i have no objection to it being a part of the news campaign, but have we really got the proportionality right when it is the lead story?
7:52 am
i say not. other parts of bbc news were also under attack for succumbing to world cup fever, with one anonymous caller to our phone line and putting it like this. for some viewers, the focus on the england team in particular isn'tjust pushing other nonsporting stories out of news bulletins, but also demonstrates an unwelcome favouritism towards one particular part of the united kingdom. cara mcallister put it like this. and bill colville looked forward to the traditional end of england's football dreams. as we mentioned last week, it's notjust the presence of football in news programmes that annoys some newswatch viewers, but the decreasing of news to watch, as those programmes are sometimes moved or shortened to make way for live coverage of the world cup
7:53 am
on bbc one. james rogers recorded his thoughts outlining his objection to that practise. i was surprised to find that monday's 6pm news was reduced to ten minutes. given that football did not kick off until 7pm, why was it not possible to have a full half—hour programme? several minutes of the short 6pm news programme were also devoted to football. come on, bbc, there was time on monday in the schedule for both the full half—hour news programme, particularly the full half—hour regional news, and also this could have been done before football kick—off. while we did want to discuss the impact of world cup programming on the duration and timing of the news bulletins, but bbc scheduling declined our request, instead giving us this statement.

we plan to discuss the way bbc news is handling the world cup with a senior editor at some point and the next few weeks, so please continue to let us know your views on that and on any we plan to discuss the way bbc news is handling the world cup with a senior editor at some point and the next few weeks, so please continue to let us know your views on that and on any aspect of bbc news. we're particularly keen to hear from those able to reach the bbc studio to record an interview or discussion on friday afternoon. stay tuned for details on how to contact us after the programme. on tuesday evenings newsnight, emily maitlis interviewed beatrix von stoch, deputy leader of germany's nationalist party, afd, on the subject of her party's immigration policy. the two clashed over the direction of crime figures since germany's recent influx of migrants. it's fake news to say the numbers have been going down, that our country is getting safer, and it's not. you know that's all wrong, don't you? you have the lowest crime rates since 1992, a—25 year low. you know that violent crime rates are down...
7:55 am
i'm telling you that that's what your interior minister said. why would you contradict the official status from your own interior minister? you're using crime figures to scare people when they aren't true. you don't have to shout at me when you're doing an interview. that interview produced some strongly—felt and varied responses. some members of the audience felt beatrix von stoch was not an appropriate guest, with catherine leonard tweeting... the opposite opinion was expressed in this post from lee brailsford. immigration policy also provided controversy in the united states from where nick bryant reported on wednesday on president trump's decision to stop the much—criticised separation of undocumented migrants and their children. immigration policy also provided controversy in the united states from where nick bryant reported on wednesday on president trump's decision to stop the much—criticised separation of undocumented migrants and their children. zero tolerance immigration policy

on the news channel. i'm sure the main point he wanted to make was that he had wanted to be there to walk his daughter down the aisle. he apparently had these heart problems, but he was watching it on the television, saying he was very proud and upset not to have been there. ken chisholm tweeted his reaction. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions on bbc news and current affairs, or even appear on the programme, you can call us on 03700106676, or e—mail newswatch. you can find us on twitter @newswatchbbc, but look at our website, the address for that is bbc. co. uk/newswatch.
