monday's good morning britain on itv had a scoop, an interview with thomas markel, whose absence at the recent wedding of his daughter to prince harry was something of a media frenzy. bbc news carried clips of the interview, which was discussed by nicholas witchell 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. that's all from us, we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news again next week. goodbye.

hello this is breakfast, withjon kay and naga munchetty. two years to the day since the eu referendum and divisions are laid bare. senior cabinet members go on the offensive, while anti—brexit campaigners prepare to march through london to demand a vote on the final deal. 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. so many people have written and sent messages to say that they want to do something. and there are simple

things that we can do and people are doing them. the us navy is drawing up plans to house thousands of illegal immigrants in detention centres on remote military bases, according to reports. 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 we'll meet the four friends aiming to watch every single world cup game, with fans from each of the 32 competing nations. and sarah keith—lucas has the weather. good morning. we have a try and a warm weekend ahead. the sunshine might be a little bit hazy at times but those temperatures will be on the up. i will have all the details in about 15 minutes. 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. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. two years on from that 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 is creating. in an interview recorded with the bbc earlier this week, doctor liam fox, the international trade secretary, said that the prime minister was not 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 is 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 there will be scary times ahead in those negotiations but that a good deal was likely. and using characteristically colourful language, the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, saying that 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 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. we'll be speaking to anti—brexit campaigner sir vince cable, the leader of the liberal democrats, in a few minutes.

and to the other side an hour later. 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 two. 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 sea birds are all too often finding 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. and another. some young birds have so much of it in their stomachs, fed to them by their parents, that there is no room for food. to see them emerge at two and a half months of age, just their stomachs, you know, bursting with

plastic, it's just... harrowing in a way that i could never have imagined. researchers are now trying to save the birds by flushing out their stomachs. industrial pollution and the discarding of plastic waste must be tackled. it was the bbc‘s blue planet two 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. now a new season of programmes called plastics watch is going to offer help to change our habits. right now 8 million tonnes of plastics end 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 is 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 american detention centres on military bases are being drawn up by the us navy, according to a time magazine report. reports suggest 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 seperated from their children. 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". thousands of people took to the banks of the river tyne last night to mark the beginning of the great exhibition of the north. look at how the day ended, stunning images. an ariel display of drones, fireworks and live music lit up the sky to kick off the 80—day festival celebrating the north of england's scientific and artistic achievements. 3 million people are expected to visit the event around the newcastle and gateshead quaysides. look out beautiful it is. it was clever forming the shape of the flower in the sky. not seen that before. very pretty. it is eight

minutes past eight. two years ago, the uk narrowly voted to leave the european union. however, the campaigning by both the leave and remain camps continues. those battles between the camps seem to be as fierce today as they were back then. today, several senior brexiteer cabinet ministers have outlined their vision for the uk after it leaves the eu. later, the largest anti—brexit demonstration since the 2016 vote is set to take place in london. the leader of the liberal democrats, sir vince cable, will be there and hejoins us now. good morning, thank you for your time. what are you going to be saying today at the rally? i'm going to be saying that brexit is not a done deal. we don't know what it is, they are still in the throes of

uncertainty they are still in the throes of u ncerta i nty two they are still in the throes of uncertainty two years on, a massive lack of clarity causing major problems for the big employers who employ hundreds of thousands of people. you heard yesterday from airbus which has a supply chain of over 100,000 people and bmw which makes minicars and rolls—royce, very u nsettled. makes minicars and rolls—royce, very unsettled. these companies might well lead if they don't get absolute clarity which is simply not there. we wa nt clarity which is simply not there. we want to say that brexit is not a done deal and we want the public to have a vote on the deal the government does reach or no deal if thatis government does reach or no deal if that is what we end up with. what is unclear to you 7 it that is what we end up with. what is unclear to you? it was never expected that a deal would be done right now and would be presented right now and would be presented right now. we are in a period of negotiations so of course there is not a done deal so where is the rush? there is a rush, we have had

to years and made little progress and the cabinet itself is still bitterly divided and the government more generally. the country is very divided and unsettled, the basic principles of the de boer not yet been agreed, fundamental problems like the irish border still sitting there waiting to be resolved —— principles of the divorce. and the big companies that employ hundreds of thousands of workers in the uk cannot operate in this political environment of excitement and uncertainty, they want clarity about what the trading relationships will be and there is absolutely none whatsoever. what is your time frame for expecting clarity? what would you have expected by now if you say there is so much up in the air? there should by now have been clarity about the basic principles of the divorce. we should know by 110w of the divorce. we should know by now what kind of trading relationship is going to emerge. this issue has to be settled by this

autumn and we only have a few months to resolve major issues. the public in general do see there is a mess and the government is divided and uncertain about what kind of outcome it is trying to achieve. there is not some orderly process towards negotiation, it is very u nsatisfa ctory negotiation, it is very unsatisfactory and we want to ensure that at the end of it there is a proper backstop, that the public have a vote on what emerges with the option of remaining if that is what they choose. let's be clear about this vote after a deal. you're not calling for a second referendum, you're calling for a vote on the deal that theresa may and her team comes to agree? yes, a vote on the deal or no deal if we finish up with that. it is likely they will finish with something and the public should have the right to choose to accept

it or remain in the eu. i am sure you would agree with me, the general premise that this is complicated and there is a lot to be discussed and understood and a lot to go through. how prepared do you think the public would be in terms of understanding all the information, considering how much confusion there was from both side ahead of the referendum two yea rs side ahead of the referendum two years ago, how much do you think the general public would be able to take on board to make an informed vote on a final deal? as you said, when we originally had the decision on the referendum, we had very u nsatisfa ctory referendum, we had very unsatisfactory or no information on some of the key issues which is why we are where we are. we will certainly be better informed by the autumn when a vote has to take place. but it is the job of the government and people like myself who are opposed to brexit to make that case and we will do it but what

is absolutely crucial is that public opinion is now moving and people do feel very strongly that this is a mess and it is not being pursued in an orderly way and the government is divided. whether people are for or against brexit, public opinion is showing strongly that they want a final say on the deal. vince cable, thank you forjoining us this morning. it is 1a minutes past eight. apparently it is lovely outside. we want to open the windows! what windows?! the next few days are looking great. that's right, some beautiful weather through the weekend with temperatures on the rise. some warm weather next week. this morning, quite a fresh start but a lot of sunshine from the word go. this was

cambridgeshire. some high cloud drifting around so the sunshine turned a bit hazy but for the vast majority it will stay dry. and temperatures on the up as well because we will be drawing in warm airfrom the near because we will be drawing in warm air from the near continent. because we will be drawing in warm airfrom the near continent. pretty warm out there at the moment, but watch the colour sticker on the russet tone indicating the warm air mass that will lift temperatures into the high 20s or even low 30s. dry and sunny this morning, a few spots of rain in the far north from the western isles for a time and the northern isles but away from there, dry elsewhere. a bit of patchy cloud, some fair weather cloud and hazy high cloud as well. quite breezy for the north of scotland but winds like than they have been recently elsewhere. temperatures a few degrees warmer, 17 or 18 in the north up to 22—24th in southern parts of england and wales. and we

keep the sunshine into this evening, think staying dry overnight, a bit cloudy in the far north of scotland again —— things stayed dry. clear skies and temperatures just dipping into single figures although not quite as fresh as it has been in the past couple of nights. high pressure driving the weather, through the second part of the weekend that will keep the weather fronts at bay, this will eventually clearing off from the northern isles and it looks like a dry day across—the—board tomorrow. more sunshine than today probably do so for many plated it will be unbroken blue skies. a bit more cloud in east anglia and the south—east. ‘s sea breezes keeping things cooler on the coasts but inland temperatures up to 21—25 degrees. 0n inland temperatures up to 21—25 degrees. on monday, another warm, dry and sunny day, temperatures on the up ‘s with light winds. temperatures in the mid—to high 20s.

that theme continues for the rest of the week. have a look at some of these towns and cities, temperatures on the warm side and not a drop of rain over the next week or so and for some of us we could hit 30 degrees next week. thank you, that looks fantastic. it is so nice not wishing you were abroad! but some are. injust over 2a hours, england will be battle it out against panama in order to try to secure their place as one of the last 16 teams in the world cup. we tend to think of russia of heavy winters and snow but they have lovely weather as well in moscow. we can speak to our very own dan walker. how is it all going? it is lovely here. good morning. already 26

degrees early in the morning here and another beautiful moscow morning and another beautiful moscow morning and we are getting used to it. i think many of us did not expect the weather to be so glorious. in the game in volgograd yesterday it was 32 degrees. as it is a beautiful backdrop for bbc news and bbc sport but there is a rather gruesome story about saint battles. it was built by ivan the terrible in the 16th century and he thought it was so beautifully the guy who to created it if they do build it again and he said, possibly if i had enough time. ivan the terrible decided to cut his eyes out so he could never build a building as beautiful as that again! it is quite literally the only one in the world. that is horrible! you have gone native if you think it is early in there! you will get a shock when you get home! i'm looking border that! england tomorrow -- i'm looking forward to that. what is the feeling between the bbc sport team

over there? it is such an important game. the is, england playing their second game of the tournament and they had a really good game against tunisia, and now they are playing panama. if you had told england and gareth southgate that they would win their first gareth southgate that they would win theirfirst game gareth southgate that they would win their first game and their potential route to the semifinal would be to beat panama, play belgium to see where they finish in the group and then potentially it could beat japan in the round of 16 and mexico to get into the semifinal. that might not pan out but there is quite a bit of positivity around england and not just from our pundits. i spoke to didier drogba yesterday who said it was a really good england unit and team. the one thing i think that has changed the dynamic in the last 2a hours is this relationship with the media. there is a big argument about the picture that was in the press and papers and online, and the bbc printed it as well, as it changed

the relationship with the media which was quite rosy and friendly before the start of the world cup? is it thejob before the start of the world cup? is it the job of the media to report the news or help the england team? what we have found is we have gone back to the default position where there is quite an uncomfortable relationship. the players know that the media will be on their site at some stage but if they make the mistake, if they missed a penalty, they will get the headlines at the expect so i think we are back to where we were before the tournament, not to say that is a negative things but the most important site of all this is that england beat panama and then they would be in the knockout stages. it is ironic that you are telling us from russia and were talking about freedom of the press and we almost upset that we have freedom of the press where you are ina freedom of the press where you are in a country where it is not exactly known! what are the highlights for you? forget the football for a moment. the highlight of being there and amongst the camaraderie and the fans. it is a bit of an eye-opener.

i know there are all sorts of questions about russian relationships with other countries and political issues and we are often asked about why were not talking about them and there is a legitimate time to talk about them and it's not half time between colombia and japan. the people of russia and particularly moscow have opened their arms to foreign journalists and fans and there is a lovely atmosphere in red square every day with 44 —— 40,000 mexico's .it . it has been a lovely atmosphere so farandi . it has been a lovely atmosphere so farand i think . it has been a lovely atmosphere so far and i think many people are changed their perception about the people of russia, having come here, and certainly the weather! my obsession is with the food! i'm addicted to honey cake and something called napoleon kate, there is a lot of motion delicacies and there was something good a chocolate pie. they

like marshmallow here and a few words i do know in question are for chocolate, yes, please, thank you and perfect which is what i say every time i devour another chocolate pie! hopefully that is nothing to do with football but something to share with you! and hopefully we get a perfect performance against panama. that would be lovely. i will try to sort it out for you. i am picking up a bit of russian. that means goodbye! wait! ifound bit of russian. that means goodbye! wait! i found one! bit of russian. that means goodbye! wait! ifound one! this is ajaco high. slightly smaller than a wagon wheel —— choco pie. high. slightly smaller than a wagon

wheel -- choco pie. other confectionery is available. have a great time. analysis from dan walker. these are the matches to follow today. at 1pm, belgium take on tunisia. then, at apm, it's south korea versus mexico. and later, germany play sweden, with coverage on bbc one and bbc radio 5 live. get your chocolate biscuits at the ready. you're watching breakfast. let's take a look at the newspapers. anand menon, the director of uk in a changing europe, is here to tell us what's caught his eye. good morning. we just interviewed vince cable who is going to be at this march today. two things happening, the two side

putting their views across either for or against brexit. boris johnson has said, i don't know if eloquent is the word to describe this, but notes bog roll brexit, soft and yielding and going on for ever. this is him showing his flairfor language and what he's saying is we wa nt language and what he's saying is we want a proper brexit. there is talk about a soft brexit and stayed in the customs union but he is saying we need to this properly. he talks about breaking free of the corset of eu regulations. this is the sort of brexit view of brexit. does it feel the cabinet is coming together? one point vince cable made was it was a divided cabinet and government and the lack of clarity is what he and many people are objecting to. the lack of clarity is what he and many people are objecting tolj don't think anyone can deny the fact there are not different views on brexit in the cabinet in a sense i'm

getting is that they realised they had to make a choice and i suspect you will see a lot of intense discussions in the next few months and one side will have to win over the other. you have to do this one thing or the other. that has not been happening. we have avoided making choices so far but there are only a few months left so choices have to be made and somebody will be disappointed. it is clearly a coordinated effort this morning with borisjohnson coordinated effort this morning with boris johnson writing, coordinated effort this morning with borisjohnson writing, david davis writing, liam fox giving interviews, those pro—brexit cabinet ministers are out in force on the date we are expecting the big pro remain march in london. and we need to do it properly and it's all going well so far. and in the times, we don't know the cost, the implications, but this isa the cost, the implications, but this is a piece from the banking editor saying the true cost of brexit could be £440 million a week. this is an interesting story based on a report done by the centre for european

reform and it is not a projection or forecast, what he's trying to say is that this has already cost us money. people will dispute this but it was interesting as a first stab to say that our economy is 2% smaller now thanit that our economy is 2% smaller now than it would have been had we remained in. of course we have not left yet but this is stuff like lost investment. can you ever really know what you would or could have had? this is the interesting thing, winner brexit is massive and it will have an impact whether positive or negative and there is an argument about how you figure out what that is. it was just interesting to flag up is. it was just interesting to flag up as is. it was just interesting to flag upasa is. it was just interesting to flag up as a first step. something we picked up, this is in the daily mail, and there was a piece by simon kelman questioning why the majority of tv channels felt the need to have female commentators, saying that the men's game is completely different.

the obvious thing is we have men commentating on women's sport and women can commentate on men's sport. why have you picked this out?|j think it is an interesting debate. it strikes me as odd that you would wa nt to it strikes me as odd that you would want to choose your pundits by their gender, you want to choose them by how good they are pulled and get this debate goes back two men are playing so why i wouldn't commentating. it strikes me as weird. you have a male manager of a women's football team. my personal view is it has been interesting, they have added a whole different side to punditry in the studio and i have enjoyed it but i think we just need to get on and judge people by how people could buy up rather than their gender or colour. it just comes into life. the —— by how good they are. you judge someone on what they are. you judge someone on what they say. we had some pictures earlier of a bear which got stuck in the back of a car in california

trying to eat some sandwiches. it was fine. but we kind of have a bear in wales. it's a brilliant story. there is a statue of a bear by the roadside and there are having a massive row about whether to remove it or not because apparently somebody ran off the road because they thought it was real. it turns out the lady who did this is canadian or had just been to canada and she thought it was the real thing and crashed her car. and it is a wooden statue. thank you very much for now. she is apparently ok. and so is the bear. because it is a statue! coming up... they've sung with 0.1% of the icelandic population and danced with nigerians in a barbers. we'll meet the four friends who've taken three weeks off work in an attempt to watch all the world cup matches with fans from the 32 competing nations.

that is quite a task. they are going to be here to tell us about their challenge. headlines coming up, we will see you soon. hello. this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main 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. earlier on this programme, the leader of the liberal democrats, sir vince cable described the kind of vote he is looking for. we will certainly be better informed

by the autumn when the vote has taken place. it is thejob by the autumn when the vote has taken place. it is the job of the government and people like myself, who are opposed to brexit, to make that case and we will do it. what is crucial if public opinion is moving. people feel very strongly it is a mess and is not being pursued in an orderly way. whether people are for brexit or against it, public opinion is showing strongly that they want the final say on the 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, "blue planet two." 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. in the last half an hour there has been an explosion at a rally in ethiopia that had been organized for the new prime minister, abiy ahmed. details of casualties are not known but the state broadcaster said several people were hurt. the prime minister had to be whisked away immediately after his speech. thousands of people were attending the event in the main square in the capital, addis ababa. 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 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 6 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. we are in the mood for winning. sounding confident. 24 hours to go. as england should be against panama, despite the long throw ins that

panama are famous for. happy being doing some research? you asked about the longest throw in ever. the world record is 51.33 metres. how long is that in relation to the pitch? almost the halfway line. that was set by danish player. that is on earth. if you take the whole universe, the actual record has been claimed by nasa, 516,000 metres. and astronaut trip from one end of the space station to the other. by the time it landed it had travelled 516,000 metres. we will not be seeing out from panama. 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 — 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 xhacka 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 zerdan shaqiri going clear to snatch the 2—1 win for switzerland. they're now level on points 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 tunisia, but this one was even worse. serbia denied a penalty, despite striker alexander mitrovic being taken down in a swiss sandwich — went completely unpunished. meanwhile, in group d, 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, their first win, of the tournament, in that now famous shirt. that keeps argentina very much alive. let's talk about england. and the team are training this morning. let's speak to our sports

correspondent david 0rnstein who's at the england training camp in repino. no team sheets on display today. there has been a good relationship between media and the players. a very welcoming atmosphere. a couple of days ago a picture emerged of the assistant england manager with a piece of paper in his hand which appeared to have names on it in a tea m appeared to have names on it in a team formation. it was an open training session and we were allowed to ta ke training session and we were allowed to take photographs. gareth southgate has said it is the decision of the media they want to help the england team or not. the feeling from the media if they are not cheerleaders for the england tea m not cheerleaders for the england team but they should report on the news. it does not help the england camp, only the opposition. we did not know this was the starting team but after the reaction from gareth southgate this may point to the fact

that it was. dele alli is not involved in raheem sterling drops to the subs bench. if you guys tried to keep it to yourself and do not bring out to the world, it will not help us come out to the world, it will not help us come the latest stage of the tournament, please god we get there. all the rest of the world have seen out all the rest of the world have seen ourteam. all the rest of the world have seen our team. please god it is not. you have to do a little bit so, please help us in that and be a little bit polite. i think dele alli has been training today but is likely to miss out tomorrow. he was in the 23 strong party that stepped out inside the training ground. 15 minutes of training is open to the media and it is now closed. we are not allowed in. dele alli appeared to be taking a full part in training. he then stepped aside and is now working

alone, away from the main group. it looks like he was moving gingerly. i think it can be sure that dele alli will not start the match against panama on sunday. we await further updates. he had a thigh problem picked up in the opening match against tunisia. is no other injury problems we know about apart from the manager, gareth southgate, who dislocated his shoulder while tripping on run on the team's a off in midweek. he will be on the sidelines are not performing such exuberant celebration should the tea m exuberant celebration should the team score. the team seemed smooth despite from the dele alli injury concern. 3pm kick off local and 1pm in the uk. it is live on bbc one. that is a bit of a theme. coaches injuring themselves in celebration. gareth southgate injured his shoulder and the brazilian coach

pulled a muscle when he fell over in the celebrations. we always like to bring you some of the stranger stories from the world cup. here's one about the former spain captain ca rles puyol, who was supposed to be working for iranian tv but was turned away from the studio because his hair was "too wild." iran has no official hairstyle policy but state tv is strictly against broadcasting anything considered unconventional. that happened to me as well. i will stop doing front of house because my hair was too wild and long when i was younger. you have a tufty bit today. this was in my surfing days. as for today's fixtures... and, at1pm, 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. elsewhere, lewis hamilton was quickest in both

of yesterday's practice sessions for the first formula one race to be held in france for ten years. it was a pretty dramatic day at the paul ricard circuit — the first session had to be cut short when marcus ericsson crashed. fortunately, he escaped that fire unharmed. qualifying starts later today. there are just nine days until the start of wimbledon and we still don't know if andy murray will be there. he says he'll play at eastbourne this week and then make his decision. one man who will be there is the three—time champion, novak djokovic, and he's into the semi finals at queen's, beating adrian mannarino in straight sets. there we are. that is just about it from me for now. if you are having friends round for the panama game and want to cook up something panamanian, there is a stew with a load of chicken and vegetables. chuck it into a pot with spices. it

is the chicken casserole. but it is the panamanian version. thank you very much indeed. returning to the subject of the world cup, how have you been watching? in the pub with a couple of mates? at home with a takeaway? our next guests have decided to take things a bit further. maybe this does not sound too odd. they've taken three weeks off work to watch every single match — but that's not all. they're watching each game with fans from one of the 32 competing nations — all without leaving london. they are going all over the place. so, they have got to find some

panamanians. let's take a look at how they've been getting on so far. so, just to recap, they are watching every game of the world cup with phantom of the teams grab one of the countries involved, and they are here this morning. —— fans from one of the teams of one of the countries involved. the fourfriends — kevin, adam, paco and rasmus — join us now. have you been backing the winning teams? we have been rather unlucky. 0urform has not been teams? we have been rather unlucky. 0ur form has not been great though we had two wins yesterday. 0ur form has not been great though we had two wins yesterdaylj 0ur form has not been great though we had two wins yesterday. i am trying to think it through logistically. the match finished last night at...? 9:45 p:m.. you went to salford and then back down to london. you can sleep on the train. how do you find the fans? very nice actually. it depends on

the nation. they are super nice super welcoming. how do you track them down? panama, especially. we have been putting messages in facebook groups and ask if anyone wa nts to facebook groups and ask if anyone wants to watch the game with us. we have been contacting embassies and restau ra nts a nd have been contacting embassies and restaurants and bars. what is the trickiest to track? we are struggling with saudi arabia. we went to the embassy in mayfair and knocked on the door. we went to a pub nearby. senegal has been a little bit of a problem by bingley have covered it now. if you are a saudi arabian family in london and you want to watch the football, get in touch with these guys. —— but we haveit in touch with these guys. —— but we have it covered now. we were text in each other thinking about

interesting places to watch the world cup. we thought, why do we go on an adventure? the city comes alive when the world cup is on. if you stay in your own area, your own neighbourhood you do not experience it. we have been in the only tunisian restaurant in the uk to watch tunisia against england. so far, which has been the liveliest bunch of supporters? probably iceland. did you get to do that clap? yes, there were 400 iceland and. we watched nigeria in a barber shop on new kent road. they got beat 2-0 shop on new kent road. they got beat 2—0 by croatia. shop on new kent road. they got beat 2-0 by croatia. how much is this costing you? 2-0 by croatia. how much is this costing you ? you 2-0 by croatia. how much is this costing you? you have taken time off work. it must be a lot in buying drinks for people. a lot of tubes.

how does it work? you had put out a note on social media and someone says they will watch it with you. do you meet before? we meet 20 minutes before. has it always been a good experience? yes, absolutely. there is that, if you're not a football fan but it is a bit aggressive, people get upset and are too passionate about it. if you have been on the losing fans side, it must be strange. the world cup is a leveller and everyone must be happy to be there. everyone has been welcoming to us. england - panama tomorrow could do find an english fan group? we went to the panama embassy and went to a bar nearby. we

have done panama! it is difficult. if it comes to the final, you'll have to one again. would you go 50/50 if england against argentina in the final? no. we really like the intimate ones as well. as well as the big 400 iceland fans, we like the big 400 iceland fans, we like the intimate ones like the barbershop and tunisian restaurant. iu travelling around in london? we have to travel around all the time. we have to could jump on a train in 40 minutes and then when we go to london we will meet up with belgium fans. we are documenting it as well. good luck to you all. any saudi arabian families, please get in touch. sarah, save us from this book

fresh start to the morning under the clear skies. plenty of sunshine. high cloud drifting south. northern ireland and scotland also having a little bit of cloud. some sunnis spells. —— sunny spells. the winds are lighter than we have seen over recent days, so it will feel a bit warmer. temperatures in the south around 20 to 24 degrees. things staying dry on into this evening, so some late sunshine to enjoy. is remains dry and clear overnight. a bit of cloud here and there in some parts of northern scotland and on the used coast as well. temperatures will not be as low as recent nights. —— on the east coast. this front just clearing away from the northern

isles. things drying up for shetland and looking dry across the board. more sunshine and we have today. widely blue skies with cloud drifting around here and there. a breeze around the coast. we will see sea breeze around the coast. we will see sea breezes developing keeping things cooler around the coast. it is warming up into monday. another warm, dry and sunny day across the board with temperatures in the mid to high 20s. the warming thing continues next week. here is the outlook for towns and cities. lots of sunshine symbols around and temperatures widely up into the high 20s. some of us will see 30 degrees, so really warming up. we have high levels of pollen around if you suffer from hay fever. levels of pollen around if you sufferfrom hay fever. also high uv levels as well. see you again later. three million account holders at two

of the uk's oldest banks will become virgin money customers later this year. it's the result of a buyout of virgin's banking arm by the clydesdale and yorkshire bank group in a deal worth £1.7 billion. they have adopted that name for their new customers. so, what does it all mean for the customers? paul lewis from radio 4's moneybox programme is here to tell us. is this simply a face—lift? not really. it is a merger, the biggest merger of a bank for ten years, since the financial crisis. they will have 6 million customers with huge assets. the chief executive of the group says he hopes it will be a real competitor on the high street for the big four orfive. it real competitor on the high street for the big four or five. it will be number six at the start. what it wa nts to number six at the start. what it wants to do is grow and compete with the big five, which may mean better deals for customers. what kind of

deals for customers. what kind of deals will be offered? we do not know. they are being very tight—lipped. clydesdale and yorkshire are very old and a traditional banks. virgin as a newcomer to banking, since 2010. they offer very different things. there will be a few branch closures but they fit together quite well with virgin in the south east and yorkshire and clydesdale in the north. i think they will move towards a different kind of branch. virgin branches are very different places. they call them stores. you can go in and chat to people and they have free wi—fi. this is following the pattern of metro bank andi following the pattern of metro bank and i believe halifax has offered a similar branch and store in central london, which is more like a place to ta ke london, which is more like a place to take the kids where they can play. i think we'll see revival of branches or an attempt about rubber band closures. current—account very different. will have to decide how

to go with those. —— about rather than closures. all the customers will see the branding to virgin money over the next few years. clydesdale and yorkshire customers will become virgin money customers. thinking about recent banks with it problems, what about the transfer now and what will be happening with people's online accounts? they will be very concerned with security. the bank at this stage does not foresee any problems. they will be using the standard switching service to move the virgin money counts into the clydesdale and yorkshire system. they are quite confident they can integrate the two companies without

the horrors we saw at tsb ‘s. that lasted for over a month. the bank is a clear about that. you will not notice a difference. as with any it changes, there may be problems are not foreseen. thank you for explaining this all. you can hear more on that story on money box on bbc radio 4 at midday. it isa it is a lovely, sunny weekends, let's get out and about. no, let's talk about mining. no, no. we are talking about mining. no, no. we are talking about mining. no, no. we are talking about mining overground. mining isn't usually associated with looking to the sky but, this weekend, measuring at more than 30 feet, a mechanical miner will be turning heads in south yorkshire. man engine is the uk's biggest ever mechanical puppet. ali fortiscue is with him now. that is him all cold up. he will

extend and expand. he is hard to miss. man engine has arrived. i don't know if the camera can do justice as to how massive he is. he is 36 foot tall, more than three double—decker buses. he is the biggest mechanical puppet ever made here in britain. believer or not he has been on a tour of the country, to celebrate mining history and heritage. that is something that will really resonate in south yorkshire. dominick summers brought him here to yorkshire. he looks amazing. what is the main message you want to get across? we are all about heritage and arts and culture coming together to celebrate. there isa coming together to celebrate. there is a huge, industrial heritage which is a huge, industrial heritage which is part of south yorkshire, part of barnsley, part of rob rome. he is a

combination of that. —— part of rob rome. we are looking forward to grounding him and giving him a proper yorkshire welcome here and literally, thousands of people will get to see him over the next couple of days. we are sold out. i don't know about you but i have never seen anything like that. can you tell us anything like that. can you tell us a bit about the name? man engine is from the developers that made him coming together and whom you will meet ina coming together and whom you will meet in a minute. the man engine comes from the cages are used to use in the cornish tin mines that basically made it safer to go up and down in the mining shaft. it's saved lives and made things in the show that revealed parts of that story. you are probably wondering how you transport stuff like that. he has been through cornwall, the midlands,

wales. what a mammoth challenge this must have been for use. it dates back all the way to 2016. we had the tenth anniversary of the world heritage cornish mining site. there we re heritage cornish mining site. there were looking for a big idea we came up were looking for a big idea we came up with this boy was standing at 11.2 metres tall, weighing nearly 40 tonnes. we trekked him from the length of cornwall and 150,000 people turned out to see him, about one in three of the population. we thought we had to take him further in the footsteps of the cornish mining exodus. hirayama in yorkshire doing just that. if you have mining exodus. hirayama in yorkshire doingjust that. if you have missed him, he will also be in durham at the end of the month. still a chance to see this amazing site.|j the end of the month. still a chance to see this amazing site. i was so confused by what that was. the

headlines are coming up. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast, withjon kay and naga munchetty. two years to the day since the eu referendum and divisions are laid bare. senior cabinet members go on the offensive, while anti—brexit campaigners prepare to march through london to demand a vote on the final deal.
