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. good morning, it's saturday the 23rd june. also this morning... sir david attenborough launches a new initiative 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. from the classroom to the home —

how teachers are using robots to live—stream lessons to chronically ill children. 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. it is set to be a cracking weekend for the weather. and sarah keith—lucas has the details. 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. thank you. 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 eardley, joins us from our london newsroom. two years have passed since the vote but the campaigning
9:02 am
hasn't stopped, has it? i don't think anybody thought it would be calm by now! that we would be happily getting on with it and moving to a concrete solution. perhaps not but what you really have is the different visions about what brexit should look like laid bare. on one side you have people like borisjohnson calling for a full british brexit, saying he thinks people just want the government to get on with delivering it. you have the brexit secretary david davis saying there is a positive future outside the eu. and the international the mid—secretary, liam fox, said the government should be confident and if it needs to it should walk away if there is not a good deal on the table. i should say that this interview was recorded earlier in the week. the prime minister has always said that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and that no deal would be
9:03 am
better than a bad deal. i think it is essential, as we enter the next phase of the negotiations, that the european union understands that and believes it and i think it has added credibility because if we were to leave, the economic impact on a numberof leave, the economic impact on a number of european countries would be severe. not everyone is so optimistic and has so much faith in the prime minister and government. that is what is behind the march in central london today which could be the biggest brexit related march ever and they will be calling for a people's vote on the final deal. today we are seeing the idea of everybody come together on this not quite materialising. indeed. thank you very much. we spoke to vince cable earlier. we'll be speaking to mp and brexiteer peter bone in a few minutes, that's at ten past nine. a new project designed 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.
9:04 am
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, is 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
9:05 am
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 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 defence wants to build facilities
9:06 am
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, only miles from mexico, this is one of the shelters where children are being held. and from the air, 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 over the last week led donald 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 returned 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.
9:07 am
they are permanently separated because they were killed by criminal illegal aliens. these are the families the media ignores. they don't talk about them. this border divides, and the president believes his 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, on abandoned airfields, are being designed to hold up to 25,000 migrants. translation: it's not ok what they're doing because you're treated like a criminal when all you've been doing is working there. i don't take drugs or anything like that. i've just been working. it is not fair what they're doing with us. there is unlikely to be any letup in the pressure at the border and with congressional elections
9:08 am
only months away, there will remain a focus on how america deals with the problem on its doorstep. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. 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 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. netflix has sacked its director of communications, jonathan friedland,
9:09 am
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". yesterday morning steph was on the banks of the river tyne to mark the beginning of the great exhibition of the north. after sunset there was a stunning opening ceremony. an aerial 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. what a great evening for it. three million people are expected to visit the event around the newcastle and gateshead quaysides. it is ten minutes past nine on
9:10 am
saturday morning. it has gone by quite quickly. two years ago. some people might say it has dragged dreadfully! it is two years to the day since the uk voted to leave the european union and the brexit process has reached a crucial point. the government is preparing to outline its terms for withdrawal but is struggling to keep both leave and remain supporting mps happy. all this against the backdrop of politicians in brussels and businesses preparing for, and warning about, a possible no—deal scenario. we spoke to vince cable an hour ago who is out on the street today demanded a second vote. the brexiteer and mp peter bone joins us now from cambridge. good morning. good morning and happy independence day. is that what you're calling it? i have introduced a private members bill to make the 23rd ofjune a date so we can celebrate every year the fact we are
9:11 am
coming out of the european union. you might be being hasty because there could be 100,000 people on the of london according to campaigners who want a chance for a second vote, a vote on the deal that theresa may gets, and they would like us to have ultimately another vote may be on staying in the eu and it might never happen! there is a small group of people who are not accepted the result and some of them are liberal democrats which is quite surprising because they are not being very democratic. if we had a second vote, of course leave would win that and they would want a third and fourth until they got the answer they wanted. the vast majority of people, whether levers or remainers, want us to get on and come out of this dreadful european union superstate. as it got you rattled that there could be tens of thousands of people saying they want another chance to vote 7 saying they want another chance to vote? there were 17.4 million people that voted to leave and if there is
9:12 am
a few thousand in london complaining about it, that does not seem to really make much difference. what about the words of airbus and bmw in the last 24 hours, warning about a no deal scenario and the impact it could have on business here in the uk and the jobs could have on business here in the uk and thejobs of could have on business here in the uk and the jobs of people, some of those people who voted to leave the eu. does that rattle you? this is projects via number three. airbus did this before the referendum and afterwards they said their future was in this country and of course it is. all of the skilled workers they have here, they have said they are the best in the company so why would they relocate? this isjust the best in the company so why would they relocate? this is just a political gesture before the council meeting in europe next week. protests on the streets, businesses joining the debate, is this not a sign that the government is failing to own these negotiations and it has not got them nailed down yet?|j
9:13 am
think not got them nailed down yet?” think you are right to say the eu has been extremely difficult on this. that is theirjob, isn't it? they are defending the 27 nations.” disagree with that, i think they are not looking after the individual nations and what they are worried about is keeping this superstate in place. the european union sells £70 billion more goods to us each year than we sell to them so why wouldn't they want a free—trade deal? it seems that the european elite are out of touch not only with what we wa nt out of touch not only with what we want in this country but what the people of europe want. they have to knuckle down and agreed to a proper negotiation and free—trade deal and a special relationship and if they don't, the prime minister should walk away with no deal and there is nothing to worry about in that at all. do you think she is competent enough to do that? that she would walk away without a deal and say, we're out of here? yes, the finalist
9:14 am
has been cleared. she has been clear on everything all the way through and achieved all the things she set out to do and she has always said that a bad deal is no deal at all. i do think that she will go over to europe next week and perhaps be a bit like mrs thatcher and wheeled her handbag a bit! liam fox, david davis, borisjohnson, her handbag a bit! liam fox, david davis, boris johnson, all out publicly to date in a coordinated strategy to say that brexit will be great and it is a positive time for britain. it might look a bit desperate that they are still having to make those arguments two years later, like they feel they are losing the argument all have lost it. i find that rather hard to follow. they are saying what a great think brexit is and that is what the people of the country want. i talk to people in my constituency, and whether they voted to leave or not, they just want to get us whether they voted to leave or not, theyjust want to get us out whether they voted to leave or not, they just want to get us out as whether they voted to leave or not, theyjust want to get us out as soon as possible. and borisjohnson and
9:15 am
david davis and liam fox are three superb cabinet ministers delivering brexit. your constituency voted overwhelmingly to leave, there are many where people voted by a narrower majority or voted to remain, and maybe you are not hearing the other side of the argument? no, no, the point! hearing the other side of the argument? no, no, the point i was trying to make was that i knocked on a lot of doors that voted to remain and they are saying that things are and they are saying that things are a lot better than they thought they we re a lot better than they thought they were going to be and they think mrs may is doing at good job butjust try to get her to do it a bit quicker. of course she is hamstrung by the european union failing to negotiate properly. we have to leave it there. thank you very much. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. that picture doesn't reflect the way i think the weather is panning out this weekend. or hoped. it isa
9:16 am
it is a bit mixed out there today. we are in for a glorious weekend all in all but there is a bit of cloud, particularly across the north of scotland. this was the highlands where the cloud was thick enough to produce a bit of rain but many of us have seen the cloud broken up. this was on the coast of kent. some cirrus cloud drifting around. the sunshine not quite wall to wall, it will be a bit hazy but all in all it should be a lovely weekend. dry for much of the country, like the winds than we have seen recently and temperatures on the up. more sunshine tomorrow impaired to today. looking at the air mass, the yellow colours are with us, already reasonably warm and over the next few days and particularly next week you can see the orange colours returning so that is particularly warm aircoming in returning so that is particularly
9:17 am
warm air coming in from the continent. today, a fresh start, a lot of bright and sunny weather, that high cloud just spilling south across parts of northern and eastern england. thicker in parts of scotla nd england. thicker in parts of scotland with some parts of rain in the northern isles and western isles and parts of the highlands. still quite breezy in the north of scotland, lighter winds elsewhere than we have had recently said it will feel a bit warmer with temperatures in the north 18—19d and further south, 22—24 and feeling pleasant. cool on the coasts with sea breeze is developing. some late sunshine this evening, clear skies overnight and remaining dry. a bit more cloud in the north of scotland and perhaps drifting down the east coast. not quite as cool and fresh as it has been recently but temperatures still into single figures. high pressure driving the weather this weekend and this is sunday, that high—pressure keeping the weather fronts at bay but still a bit of rain in the shetland isles
9:18 am
which should clear away and then dry across—the—board. more sunshine tomorrow than today but still a bit offair tomorrow than today but still a bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up and the sea breeze is keeping things and the sea breeze is keeping things a bit cooler on the coast particular in the south—east. temperatures in london around 25 degrees even in scotla nd london around 25 degrees even in scotland and northern ireland, a few degrees warmer than today and monday will be even warmer. dry again, high—pressure keeping the winds light, a lot of sunshine and temperatures widely in the mid to high 20s on monday and we could see 30 degrees in water to spot heading next week. —— in some spots. thank you. 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. one school in oxford is the first in the uk to provide students with the technology allowing them to live stream lessons
9:19 am
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 need in their lives. you can begin to get a bit bored, really, with computer games all day, as 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 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 to go in for them when they can't go in. it kind of seems a bit strange,
9:20 am
this is the first time it's 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 back in the class so he feels now like he's more part of school life again. these robots allow their users to see, hear, move around and 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 for his treatment 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 adam, we can talk to him, he can be in my lesson and that is what we want. adam has been trialling the first robot. the second will be given to a pupil from a local primary school. let's have a look at the papers.
9:21 am
anand menon, the director of uk in a changing europe, is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to anand in a minute, there is plenty of europe in the papers on this second anniversary of the eu vote. we spoke to peter bone and also to vince cable about an hour ago. —— peter bone. there are these two marches in london. we had interesting news this week from airbus and also bmw talking about not being sure what is happening and warning that it needs more solid evidence that the deals are being done otherwise it will reconsider their position in the uk. a lot of
9:22 am
interesting things on this, firstly that a lot of companies are coming out, airbus yesterday, bmw and some others, and they are saying, not brexit is good or bad but we need certainty because they have to plan. and secondly they are saying they wa nt and secondly they are saying they want a brexit that allows them to keep trading the way they do now. when we talked an hour ago, i said it looked like the government was getting to decision time and it's no coincidence that these companies are turning up in public now. and if you broke down a business like airbus, aerospace business, when you take a wing, if you followed the supply chain and how it is created, the whole world from all of the parts, and is not just whole world from all of the parts, and is notjust delivering parts to the uk, things go back into the eu for specialist treatment and back and forth. what they are concerned about is how the border controls and customs controls will work because the extra paperwork is money. customs controls will work because the extra paperwork is moneym customs controls will work because the extra paperwork is money. it is paperwork and all time. somebody like honda, i saw a study a few
9:23 am
weeks ago saying they keep enough parts for about an hour. things sit foran hour parts for about an hour. things sit for an hour but the —— before being used on the car pulls up if you have checks at airports that becomes uncertain and companies have to think about if they need to have warehouses to keep stuff in case there is a hold—up in calais or dover full it changes your business model. it is not insurmountable but what they are saying is that if we are going to plan for it, we need to know what we are planning for so can we have a decision and one that allows us to do things as much like now as possible? we're talking about what life will be like in the uk after brexit. an interesting piece in the times about what life will be like in the eu after brexit. this is a really good article. it illustrates the fact firstly that eu member state are divided on big issues like immigration, that the eu leaders like angela merkel are under enormous domestic pressure. it is
9:24 am
interesting if you're interested in the eu because they are finding it ha rd to the eu because they are finding it hard to agree on solutions to their problems and also of course we have this summit next week where theresa may will go to brussels and they will try to talk about brexit. the story underlines that we are not their priority, brexit is not the biggest issue on their agenda because they have the eurozone, migration. the danger is we get squeezed off the agenda a bit and i don't spend enough time negotiating with us because they are bigger fish to fry pulls up i'm going to ban brexit for two minutes! have you seen this? i keep meaning to watch it. it is james corden doing carpool karaoke with sir paul mccartney and he is moved to tears by the emotion of it. don't ruin it. he is not moved to tears at all! this is me
9:25 am
rebranding myself is not a brexit person! despite usually being quite cynical about this, it is quite a fun video, they go down penny lane but actually the weirdest thing, as they go back to the house mccartney lived in as a teenager. and the person living there seems to have left it exactly as it was then.” think it is open as a museum. it is a house but it has been preserved.” thought, has she lived there... the picture shows paul mccartney going into the loo and singing where he used to because it had fantastic acoustics! well done the daily mirror. here comes the sun. let it beat. hey, route. greatjob. and
9:26 am
seeing the faces of the scousers and the tourists who suddenly see paul mccartney turning up at the house or in the pub and it was amazing, just getting mobbed. i never thought i would say it because i almost feel sorry forjames corden because nobody pays attention to him! we can have our ahh moment of the morning. it isa have our ahh moment of the morning. it is a nice photo and it is a pair of identical twin foals which is a p pa re ntly of identical twin foals which is apparently unbelievably rare. initially, the photo does not make it click you think they are different colours but if you look at the rumpus, they have the same markings. and on the faces as well —— on the rumps. markings. and on the faces as well -- on the rumps. you don't hear much about identical twins in the animal world and the markings are uncannily
9:27 am
identical. what is going to happen to them? are they racing courses? they are eventing horses so they will grow up to compete in three—day events. and one of them is significantly bigger and apparently the other will catch up. but generally one of them dies but in this case they are both healthy. good news. a happy thought. thank you very much. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt takes over in the saturday kitchen. matt, what's on the menu for us? we area we are a hard act to follow. invading your living room is a good thing! you might be reading a newspaper column this morning written by our guest today, the brilliant kevin moran. —— caitlin
9:28 am
moran. what is your idea of food heaven and hell? heaven, cheese and cheese of the goat. a lot of people don't like it. insane idiots. 0k! and hell, like cheap and dewsbury, they are like perfumed eyes. disgusting, they taste like bath cubes. and two great chefs. what are you cooking? barbecued sea bass and ukrainian vegetables. and what is on the menu? a beautiful multicoloured totally with fresh ricotta and tomato sauce. and the beautiful lee smith is here! with his lovely shirt. we have got a bit of cider. and a bit of wine and sweet wine or
9:29 am
rose eight bannigan how it goes. and then forget you are in charge of whether it is heaven or hell. go to the website for voting details and we will see you at ten o'clock to invade your living room! we will cope! i will be watching. shouldn't you be invading the kitchen? you don't want that in your kitchen. i don't want that in your kitchen. i don't want that in your kitchen. i don't want him in my living room! the headlines are coming up. 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
9:30 am
calling for the public to have a vote on any final deal. earlier on this programme, the conservative brexiteer mp, peter bone, said there was still a reluctance in some parts to accept the result of the referendum. there is a small rump of people who have not accepted the result. some of them are liberal democrats, which is surprisingly good as they are not being very democratic about it. if we had a second boat, the same result and then a third boat and a fourth vote. the past majority people want us to get on and come out of the dreadful european union superstate. —— vote. 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 people find out
9:31 am
how they can best deal with plastics and make a difference. 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 stance against unlawful migration. it follows a climb down 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 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
9:32 am
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. those are the main stories this morning. we are also focusing of course on the sport, more specifically the world cup and more specifically than that, on england tomorrow. everyone is focused on that big match, in a place where we cannot say the name. yes, facing panama, a country where the national sport is baseball. do you know what panama means? an abundance of fish, birds, trees and butterflies. i do not think england should have too many butterflies against a team they have never faced before many butterflies against a team they have neverfaced before in the
9:33 am
many butterflies against a team they have never faced before in the world cup, apartfrom have never faced before in the world cup, apart from that throw in. it is a big weapon. it is about what happens beyond that is a worry. we are long of that. one game at a time. that is one of those cliches. festival —— i will show you some cracking goals as well. let's start with brazil — many people's favourites. on 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 —
9:34 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. so, brazilfinding their so, brazil finding their rhythm. i promised you some brilliant goals. here comes the best of yesterday's offerings. a stunner from arsenal midfielder granitjacka for switzerland to equalise against serbia made even more difficult when you see just how much the ball was spinning when he hit it. he hit it mid—spin. and then, they broke
9:35 am
right at the end. stoke city's shaqiri, going clear to snatch the 2—1 win for switzerland. they're now level on points with brazil in group e. now, what do you put in a swiss sandwich? well, the best filling last night was serbian striker, alex mitrovich. this was during a corner and, amazingly, no penalty was given. 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. -- tunisia. this is a demonstration right now. nothing wrong with that. there is nothing wrong with that, apparently. 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
9:36 am
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. they had to play nigeria, so lionel messi and code still have bad days. —— their day. let's talk about england, and the team are training this morning. let's speak to our sports correspondent, david ornstein, who's outside the england hotel in repino for us. and david, i guess no sign of a teamsheet on display? no, but! no, but i will try to help you with the pronunciation. it is important to roll the our. welcome to the
9:37 am
england team hotel. i think they are wrapping up their final training session now before that trip. south—east of here, in the gulf of finland, around 45 minutes away from st petersburg, they will leave the tea m st petersburg, they will leave the team hotel in a couple of hours for the airport and then things get really serious. the dominant theme in the last couple of days has been tea m in the last couple of days has been team sheet gate. two days ago, steve holland photographed with a piece of paper in his hand that had the number of names of players in certain positions, leading to suspicions this was the starting tea m suspicions this was the starting team to face panama. it included marcus rashford coming in for raheem sterling and dele alli dropping out in favour of ruben loftus—cheek. unconfirmed but yesterday gareth southgate said the media needed to confirm whether they wanted to help england all the opposition and that led to a moral debate. is this news?
9:38 am
the debate will roll on. here is what kyle walker, the defender, had to say about it. if you guys trying keep it to yourself and do not bring it out to the world because it will not help us come the later stages of the tournament. please god we will get there. all the world has seen our team now, if it is the team or not. you guys have to do your bit. please help us in that and be polite. that is regarding the team. a word on the conditions. it will be 3pm your time, very hot. the fa is putting in heat control measures like changing shirts at half time. has this been a real concern for the team? england here have been training in very modric conditions. it is not too hot or too cold. —— moderate conditions. gareth southgate thought very hard about that when he chose this as the base.
9:39 am
similar conditions in volko grab for their previous match against tunisia. -- their previous match against tunisia. —— volgograd. i do not think it will be a great surprise and they have coped in these conditions in previous tournament. as the bid team news glad dele alli looks like he will miss out on that match. —— as for the team news. he joined in training for the first time today despite an injury to his thigh which he picked up in the match against tunisia. i saw him moving gingerly, not at full fitness. that seems to be the only england injury concern, other than gareth at geoghegan who has a dislocated shoulder from running around on these roads. —— gareth southgate, who has a dislocated shoulder. i reckon if you said that
9:40 am
russian name again, it would sound more english. that is obviously the russian word, the russian city. after tomorrow we will never have to say it again. they might be back there. do not say that. as for today's fixtures... and, at 1pm, belgium take on tunisia — that's in england's group. belgian looking so good in the first match. 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. a big weekend ahead. allowed to be had in earlier watching every single world cup match with supporters of one of the teams, going all over london. they are on the train from manchester to london. they are with belgian fans this lunchtime and they are moving around. an amazing effort. thank you very much. let's move to nature rather than
9:41 am
football. if you love elm trees you may be concerned. if you come across a leaf that has a distinctive zigzag pattern, chances are a rare insect has paid a visit. it is worrying. scientists at edinburgh's royal botanical gardens say the zig zag elm sawfly has landed and it could be damaging the country's elm tree population. it can do one leaf, another leaf, until the whole elm tree has pretty much been destroyed and scientists are worried. that's get more on the detailed. let's talk to nick atkinson from the woodland trust. is john nick atkinson from the woodland trust. isjohn exaggerating or can this happen and over what period of time? these caterpillars are very small but they are in very large numbers. millions and millions of
9:42 am
caterpillars can devote the entire trees. can treat a cover? it does not kill the tree but it will weaken it over time and that opens it up to other pests and pathogen is coming in and finishing it off. what evidence do you have that the country population is significantly affected by the lava? we know they are travelling across the uk at fsb of notts. —— ten three. can we do anything to stop it? probably not. the female fly that lays the eggs is very mobile. chances are by the time is the damage that the caterpillar is doing the female laying more eggs in another tree. it will be very difficult to contain and control. what can be done about it? in this
9:43 am
case, not a lot. it is a real warning that we need to be doing much more about our plant bio—security in the uk. much more about our plant bio-security in the uk. no pesticides, no treatments? what about planting around it? is there something that might deter both vote from breeding nearby? because it is a non—native species there are no natural predators, so that is out of the question. there is a possibility that individual trees can be treated through pesticides. like the natural elm collection in brighton and hove. thinking back to the dutch elm crisis in the 60s and 70s, i remember that as a kid. it decimated elms, didn't it? dutch elm disease took out 26 million ritual elm trees in the 60s and 70s and so, what is left now is what is hanging on. this quy left now is what is hanging on. this guy is likely to come in and not
9:44 am
good things for it. one thing we can do is watch very closely. i know you got advice on what people could do and notified they spotted it. the woodland trust is asking members the public to go to the observatory website and use the tree alerts link on that page where they can upload photographs and locations of what they have seen. that is if you have seen either the caterpillar or the zigzag shape, which has been cut through on the leaves. it is very easy to spot. reported through the website. that will allow the forestry commission and ourselves to track the progress of the bug across the country. thank you very much for talking to us about that. keep your eyes open. when you think about mining, you think about what happens underground, rather than over it. but this weekend all eyes will be on a giant mechanical miner roaming through south yorkshire.
9:45 am
man engine is the uk's biggest ever puppet, ali fortiscue is with him now. you're just you'rejust going to you're just going to have to explain what is happening behind hughes. it is almost like transformers. watch what happens. i note. it is amazing. we're about to see it standing up. it isa we're about to see it standing up. it is a very exciting day in barnsley. man engine has arrived. he is 46 feet tall. you will not be surprised to hear, it is very noisy as well, he is the biggest mechanical person ever to have been made here in britain. it is to celebrate our mining heritage. he will do a tour of the country. that speak to john, who will do a tour of the country. that speak tojohn, who has been involved in bringing him here. -- let's speak. we have got a really fascinating industrial history in
9:46 am
rotherham and barnsley. it is about mining, engineering and steel making. also really inspirational stories. we will be so chuffed to have this thing with us this weekend to celebrate that past and inspire people and help to shape our future in south yorkshire as well. it is unlike anything i had seen. you are probably wondering, how on earth do transport something like this? it has been around the country. you have been a bolt from the start. tammy little bit about it. —— you have been involved. he was originally commissioned to celebrate 4000 years of cornish mining history. 150,000 people came out to see him in cornwall. we are tracing the footsteps of the cornish miners. some of them went to yorkshire and all around the globe. we are excited
9:47 am
to be here helping yorkshire celebrate their mining heritage as our big boys dumped his way across the uk. what does the name mean? -- stomped his way. there was a device for lifting miners up and down the shaft and saving them the task of wooden ladders. we're going to hear a cornish mining chant. probably the first time it has been sung here. a cornish mining chant. probably the first time it has been sung harem is great, isn't it? amazing! three double—decker buses hide. it is a little bit cloudy but the sun is coming out in lots of places. it is mixed and not perfect for everyone. not everyone likes the sunshine. a bit of a mixed picture. there will
9:48 am
be sunshine on offer pretty much ready you are. a glorious weekend in store all in all. here is the picture in highland scotland. we have more clout at the moment which would be thick enough to produce a few spots of light rain. further south across the country, this is how it is looking in kent. back cloud will be turning things fairly hazy across parts of england and wales at times today's. but it is a largely dry weekend to come. that temperature is on the up. you might be after rain for your garden is. will not get much of that in the forecast. temperatures are on the up because emas is changing. pretty warm airat the because emas is changing. pretty warm air at the moment but into next week orange colour start to spill in from the continent and that is when the temperatures really will source. it was a fresh start to the morning but lots of sunshine around. —— temperatures really will sort.
9:49 am
thicket clout in parts of scotland and northern ireland as well. you can see a few spots of rain for parts of the western isles and into the northern isles as well. the wind is not as strong as they have been in recent days. it will feel warmer with temperatures in the high teens. further south we could see 23, 24. late sunshine to be enjoyed. things set their overnight. clear skies and dry conditions could. in shetland cloud will be using a way. it will be quite comfortable for sleeping tomorrow but the nights are set to get warmer into next week. high—pressure stays in charge of the weather. more sunshine than we are seeing at the moment. another lovely day to come with light winds and it will be warming up. the temperatures tomorrow higher than we have today.
9:50 am
a little bit cooler around the coast as ecc breezes developing. another warm and sunny day on monday. —— as we see the breezes. we are likely to see highs of 21 to 27 degrees. that theme continues through the week. in theme continues through the week. in the outlook you can see the temperatures warming up. we could hit 30 celsius. some summery weather on the cards. do not forget the sunscreen. problem levels are set to stay pretty high. you saved about one till last. are we seeing you tomorrow? yes, indeed. we have already got our towels out to reserve our spaces beside the loch. the final episode of blue planet two showed the devastating impact plastic has on our oceans.

9:52 am
before picking up rubbish. we live so before picking up rubbish. we live so close to beaches that we do not wa nt so close to beaches that we do not want it to be full of plastic. families have changed habits. blue planet was pivotal. there are so many things that people can do. schools and cumin it is across the country has said for ways to reduce their single use plastic footprint. —— schools their single use plastic footprint. — — schools and their single use plastic footprint. —— schools and communities. we have moved away from single use plastic. so the 400 plates we were wasting can be reused, washed and used again. the strength of your response has not gone unnoticed in the corridors of power, or business boardrooms. more than 40 companies had signed up to initiative to tackle plastic. tackling the scourge of plastic. we must reduce demand for plastic. everyone has woken up to the need for action. even as far away as china, changes
9:53 am
happening. —— change is happening. right now, 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in our oceans every year. but you, by your responses, have shown that if we start doing the small steps that are easily achievable we can, before long, really have an effect. if you wa nt to long, really have an effect. if you want tojoin in, find out easy long, really have an effect. if you want to join in, find out easy ways to make a difference and share with us to make a difference and share with us what you are up to. visit the website. the actions of any one of us website. the actions of any one of us may website. the actions of any one of us may seem website. the actions of any one of us may seem to be trivial and to have no effect but the knowledge that there are thousands, hundreds of thousands, of people doing the
9:54 am
same thing that really does have an effect. so, please join same thing that really does have an effect. so, pleasejoin us. same thing that really does have an effect. so, please join us. sir david attenborough talking about the impact that blue planet 2 has had. a lot of people have talked about making a difference, what about doing something about it? these guys areafamily doing something about it? these guys are a family who have massively reduced their plastic consumption. madeleine and aiden and andy and freya are here. thank you for coming in. massively reduced your plastic consumption. what are the biggest things you have been doing? we have been leaving our plastic at the supermarket when we can. what else have we done? straw plastic straws. i use a metal straw for
9:55 am
drinking. he needs a straw when he drinks. straws have touched people's hearts. this is about disposable plastic and tackling that much, much more. much more than plastic that we cannot avoid. keyboards and the plastic in aden's, for examples. things we can find alternatives to. it is difficult to find a wooden keyboard or wooden things will aid in's but things we can easily find an alternative to, why wouldn't we? that is the point. how easy, or maybe the question should be, how difficult has it been? i think that says it all. nowhere near as hard as i'd thought it would be. i thought it would be really hard. as soon as you get into the habit of doing it
9:56 am
quick you stop thinking about it and start straightaway going for all turnit start straightaway going for all turn it is. i thought you might become obsessed with it that you would not be able to stop thinking about it. it does but you have always got to think is there an all talented? if it is something you merely need an something there is not an alternative to, you are stuck with it. contact lenses and things like that. you have an example of something you have made. there are always alternatives. i make these. i do not know if you want to have a feel of them. have you crocheted these? i sit in front of the telly ofan evening these? i sit in front of the telly of an evening and i crochet those than to use them instead of cotton warp pads which come in plastic bags. —— cotton wall. warp pads which come in plastic bags. -- cotton wall. we could not buy it without being in a plastic
9:57 am
bag that is removable and thrown away, so fred came up with this alternatives. i bet some people think, doing that, no. we started with straws, that was the first being. it was quite some time ago. we have been taking our own backs to the supermarkets. copy parts are another recent ones. i am a big coffee drinker. occasionally ijust need a quick coffey and i have a pod machine. instead of buying the disposable pods, i have a reusable pod to put my own coffey and. thank you so much for coming in. they have tried. perhaps you would like to as well. and you can find easy ways to make a difference and share what you are doing at bbc.co.uk/plasticswatch. that is all we have got time for. we
