good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. two years after the brexit referendum, thousands of people are protesting in central london, to demand what they call a "people's vote" on the outcome of the negotiations with the eu. we'll be going live to central london in a moment to hear more about the march. a few thousand people are also demonstrating in the capital in support of a no deal brexit, in what they're calling the uk unity and freedom march. these pictures are from a little

earlier. it all comes as the german engineering firm siemens, which employs 15,000 people in the uk, called on the government to remain closely aligned with the single market. senior cabinet ministers have again said the uk is prepared to walk away from the negotiations, rather than accept a bad deal. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley reports. two years to the day since the brexit vote, visions of the future are still very different. campaigners in central london today calling for a vote for any final deal the government reaches with brussels. there has been two years since the referendum. the government is no clearer about what it wants. it is internally divided, let alone in argument with the european union. the country is very likely to end up in a bad place. we have got to stop the mess and the best way of doing it is that, when we know what the outcome is, that the public have the final say. businesses are expressing views as well. yesterday, airbus said it

would reconsider its future in the uk if there is no deal. bmw called for more clarity. and today, there was this reaction to borisjohnson‘s call for a full british brexit. it is time to get away from slogans for british brexit going into combat with europe. it is incredibly unhelpful, and what we need to do now is to get closer with our european partners and work out what a realistic, pragmatic brexit is. the foreign secretary says the government needs to get on with it and avoid a deal that is soft, yielding and infinitely long. others say to get that the pm must be prepared to walk away if she does not get the right 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. i think it is essential that, as we enter the next phase of the negotiations, that european union understands that and believes it. labour says no deal would be catastrophic and, as campaigners say the electorate should make the final decision, a reminder, if ever one was needed,

that different people see brexit very differently. let's just get a flavour of some of the speeches at the march, from caroline lucas, co—leader of the green party. but first, from sir vince cable, the leader of the liberal democrats. damages being done. it has been done to the prospects of the younger generation who have been shafted by the older wrecked cities. —— damage has been done. it is ourjob to fight for them. i'm here on behalf of our party but i want to work with people across the board, in other parties, who are here today to make this a truly national effort. the eu that we have had such a powerful influence in creating has been an

extraordinary piece project. it has enabled countries that have fought each other for centuries to live together in peace for over 70 years. that is why it is so important. so, friends, brexit is not inevitable, it is not a done deal. keep standing up for what you believe in and make sure mps over there can hear your voice is today and every day to demand a people's vote and together we will win. thank you for being here. we can speak to our news correspondent, jon donnison, who's in central london. i think the speeches have been continuing interspersed with video m essa 9 es continuing interspersed with video messages as well. in terms of a practical response to this march today, what do people hope this can change? what they want is a people's

boat — another referendum. —— vote. they want the final deal that theresa may comes up with issue comes up theresa may comes up with issue comes up with one, to be put to the people again. we heard from a couple of politicians. a lot of the speeches have been from ordinary people. we had a road haulier, a student, and my guest with me now is an nhs doctor who addressed the crowd here. what you want? i think it is fantastic that there are so many people out today's. 100,000 are on the streets of london. that is brilliant. it shows the strength of feeling amongst the public. people wa nt feeling amongst the public. people want a says. things have changed. two years want a says. things have changed. two yea rs have want a says. things have changed. two years have gone by and things have changed erratically. it is important for people to have a chance to say what they want now. --

changed dramatically. we did have a vote. but nobody really knew exactly what they were voting for. in the la st two what they were voting for. in the last two years, we're even told there is a brexit dividend for the nhs. every economist or commentator, even theresa may's and politicians reviewed that. we are being told things are not accurate. until we have accurate information on the table people cannot make up their minds. we have to have that information. how will this happen? what other second advances this referendum might happen, given both the conservatives and the labour party, neither of them are saying they want another referendum, so how will it come about? there are over 100,000 people here today standing up 100,000 people here today standing up and saying they want something to change. hopefully, ultimately, it will come from the grass roots.

people in this country will have to pressurise mps. what we are seeing here is cross— party pressurise mps. what we are seeing here is cross—party consolidation. people have to work together on this. the person getting perhaps the most stick from the crowd was not borisjohnson orjacob most stick from the crowd was not boris johnson orjacob rees most stick from the crowd was not borisjohnson orjacob rees mogg, it wasjeremy borisjohnson orjacob rees mogg, it was jeremy corbyn. borisjohnson orjacob rees mogg, it wasjeremy corbyn. where'er you jeremy corbyn? this is the bbc, i wonder why we are saying that. let's talk about theresa may boris johnson selling the public lives for two years. jeremy corbyn has a role in this and needs to make a stand. lets not lose sight that this government have brought this about. that is the key message. within the nhs, what are your concerns in terms of staffing shortages? they are huge. i ama staffing shortages? they are huge. i am a doctor in the nhs. we are 30,000 nurses down and lacking 10,000 doctors in the nhs. there are

huge staff vacancies. that means that patients cannot be cared for in the way we want them to be cared for. injanuary the way we want them to be cared for. in january this year patients we re for. in january this year patients were dying on hospital trolleys in corridors. theresa may got a letter from amd consultant saying this. now she is promising a brexit dividend which does not exist. we are haemorrhaging staff. brexit is making my colleagues, brilliant surgeons, doctors and nurses, they are leaving the country. there have been plenty people from european countries here coming to join british people and calling for no brexit. thank you very much. earlier i spoke to the leave campaigner and conservative mp crispin blunt and asked him about those comments

and whether the people who voted to leave thought leaving the eu without a deal was a possible scenario. we were told there would be an insta nt we were told there would be an instant recession because of the indications which might arise from this. to then say people did not know. campaign featuring the referendum campaign made absolutely clear what might happen to the united kingdom if the people had the temerity to vote for brexit. they still voted the brexit because they had a good understanding of their interests and, in particular, the long—term interests of the eid kingdom. this is a decision the decades to come. —— boh united kingdom. the decision was taken two yea rs kingdom. the decision was taken two years ago today and now we have to get on with it. we heard someone saying, put this to the boat again

—— the vote again. 0ver saying, put this to the boat again —— the vote again. over the course of the last two years, there were lots of knowns and unknown is. have they managed ? lots of knowns and unknown is. have they managed? people were enthusiastic about the european union and they were demonstrating today. this was an emotional event, losing the referendum. the majority view in the country was to leave. since then, people have said that we need to get on with it and get it done. implications were debated over during the referendum campaign are 110w during the referendum campaign are now we have to make sure we get the best possible deal, in our interests and in the interests of the nations of the 27. we have to get beyond the place where european negotiators are defending the institution of the european union and punishing the british for having the temerity to leave and actually start to represent real interests of all the people in the european union who

sell their goods to the united kingdom. an explosion at a political rally in zimbabwe has injured the country's vice president and a senior member of the governing party, zanu—pf. the blast struck close to the president, emmerson mnangagwa, who had just finished speaking to supporters at a stadium in the opposition stronghold of bulawayo. he was unhurt. the cause of the blast is not yet known. zimbabwe is set to hold its presidential election at the end ofjuly. the ethiopian prime minister, abiy ahmed, has condemned a grenade blast at a political rally he'd been addressing in the capital, addis ababa. he called it an unsuccessful attack by forces who did not want to see a united ethiopia. the authorities say one person was killed and more than 130,000 injured. the bbc‘s emmanuel igunza was at the rally when the attack took place. these are the chaotic scenes as people scramble for safety moments after the explosion. the attack was just metres

away from the podium where the prime minister had moments ago addressed thousands of his supporters. emergency services rushed to help dozens of people, injured as the full scale of the blast sank in. this angry mob is seen beating up a woman, who they claim was carrying an explosive. some of those who had been injured in the explosion have been wrought to this health facility. they are being taken care of by emergency staff, who are scrambling to take care of those in need. what we know so far is that the explosion happened just immediately after the prime minister had finished his speech. i was right behind him, the podium, where he was. he was safe. he was quickly taken away by security officers. in the last few hours he has given an address to the nation. he has said he is safe. the prime minister has described this as well planned attack, even as the police announced

they had arrested several people in connection with the attack. no—one has yet claimed responsibility. earlier, thousands turned up at the city's in square in support of the new prime minister who has brought unprecedented reforms and promised freedoms in the country. after more than three years of deadly anti—government protests, the premier has inspired millions with his message of love and reconciliation. but, today's attack showed he still has more work to do to heal a deeply divided country. turkey's president erdogan has called on voters to re—elect him tomorrow, with sweeping new powers on the final day of campaigning in the country's presidential and parliamentary elections. he's facing a strong challenge from a newly united opposition, led by muharrem ince, a former physics teacher leading the centre left republican people's party. from istanbul mark lowen reports. turkey's opposition has finally found its voice. for 15 years it has been fractured, unable to challenge

president erdogan, but then came muharrem ince, a fiery centre—left man of the people reaching beyond his party's elitist image and drawing enormous crowds. this man is giving a powerful turkish president the battle of his political life. he told supporters he would fight for the working class, challenging mr erdogan to a tv debate which he has so far refused. polls suggest mr ince could force the president into a second round run—off after the election tomorrow and with other opposition parties, win a majority in parliament. this is the half of turkey that feels mr erdogan has destroyed democracy with his clamp—downs and hostility to the west. confidence is growing despite the fear of vote rigging. but the pro—erdogan side still passionately believes in him.

conservative, pious turks revere him as their saviour in once secular—dominated turkey. they vaunt the bridges and hospitals he's built and they talk about western plot to ruin their country. the odds are still stacked in mr erdogan's favour, 90% of the media is pro—government. the kurdish presidential candidate is in prison and opposition posters are vastly outnumbered and torn down, but for the first time in 15 years, turkey mightjust decide that the erdogan magic has run out. the maritime authorities in malta have asked the charity—run rescue ship, aquarius, to help a boat in trouble off the coast of tunisia. last week, neither malta nor italy would allow the vessel to dock, after it rescued six—hundred—and—thirty migrants off the coast of libya. italy has since banned charity and foreign flagged ships docking, if migrants are onboard. a fire has torn through a warehouse in leyton in east london.

black smoke could be seen billowing from an industrial estate in 0rient way this morning, with more than 100 firefighters and 20 engines responding to emergency calls. the headlines on bbc news: thousands of people are marching through london to demand a vote on the final deal on the uk's departure from the eu. senior cabinet ministers stress the uk is still prepared to walk away from brexit talks without a deal. an explosion rocks a stadium in zimbabwe where president emmerson mnangagwa was addressing thousands of people — officials say he wasn't injured. and in the sport, belgian win their second group game with a comprehensive big tree over tunisia. hazard, lukaku and

lu ka ku and that's lukaku and that's a lie win a fifth. dele alli train this morning before withdrawing as they fly to nizhny novgorod this afternoon ‘s. silently austria to clinch a series win. the try was alan's only up against. they w011 try was alan's only up against. they won by 20—16 point. more on those stories at 4:30 p:m.. england are hoping to secure a place in the last 16 world cup teams tomorrow with victory over panama tomorrow. fans have been arriving in nizhny novgorod, where the game will take place. it's a city that was closed off to foreigners until just a few weeks ago, as sarah rainsford reports. this is nizhny novgorod as it has never been before. a city closed to foreigners in soviet times is now wide open to the world.

there are football fans from all over, enjoying the party. there's even the odd england supporter. for now, though, it is the fans from panama that are most conspicuous. and some, like the lopez family, are confident ahead of the england match. what's your score prediction? 3-0. 3—0 to panama? 0oh! you're optimistic! you don't think much of england and harry kane then? no. many england fans have been put off coming to russia by the politics between the uk and this country, but one thing has become clear with this world cup — that russia is doing everything in its power to show its best face to the world. so the covers have finally come off the onion domes and the embankment is open at last, after years hidden behind a giant fence. that's where we found two england fans, though their journey from moscow wasn't the easiest. seven hours in the back of a transit

van from moscow to nizhny. really excited for tomorrow. the transport got mucked up. we were a bit —— that was the last resort. like, seeing england win at the world cup — not many people can say they have done that. the venue where that might just happen is here, across the river volga. a brand—new stadium for a city clearly enjoying its brand—new image as the world cup party descends. sarah rainsford, bbc news, nizhny novgorod. new evidence of the devastating effect of plastic pollution on wildlife has been recorded by the bbc. a team filming on a remote island for the bbc one documentary drowning in plastic revealed seabirds there starving to death because there stomachs were so full of plastic that there was no room for food. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill reports. lying to the ocean in search of

food. these sea birds are all too often finding and eating pieces of plastic. tens of thousands of flesh fitted chair waters nest on this remote island, hundreds of calamities of the coast of australia. even hear plastic is killing them. scientists are finding young birds with so much of it in their. there is no room forfood. these chicks have starved to death. but the researchers stepped in to save them and this bbc documentary crew filmed up close as the birds had their stomachs flushed out. 0h! it was shocking to see just how much would come out a chick. i mean, we saw 90 pieces come out of one of the chicks on the second night but the scientists were telling us they sometimes pull out as much as 200, 250 pieces of plastic out of either dead birds orfrom the regurgitation.

it is just one example of how our discarded plastic is damaging marine wildlife around the world, an issue that was thrown into sharp focus by the bbc series blue planet ii. efforts are under way to stem the tide of plastic. here in england's south coast, sea bins have been installed that can suck up half a tonne of plastic waste per year. there's a plastic bottle there, that's fairly obvious, and a coffee cup lid. but there's also some smaller pieces of plastic. i think that's the lid off an aerosol and there's two cigarette buts there. there are also plastic fibres. but some parts of the ocean now contain more pieces of plastic than plankton so scientists say we all need urgently to change how we use and dispose of what has become a floating menace. victoria gill, bbc news. i'm joined now via webcam by eco blogger and founder of leafeco.co.uk, dani d'silvez. welcome. thank keyver taking time to

talk to us. you describe yourself as a self—confessed low waist addict. how did you become one? i was overwhelmed by how much plastic there was in the world's. i started a university course for environmental management and realised it was not actually getting to the core of the damage of plastic. it was talking about climate change a big thing to be worried about, but it was not talking about the damage plastics and a lot of things we consume on a daily basis and by cannot be recycled. they end up in landfill and that is when it gets into the atmosphere and the environment and we have all the edges we are seeing today in the papers and on the tv. give us a starter guide. if you were to describe a few easy steps people can take to reduce the amount of plastic in their lives, where would

you begin? make a simple list. i would write down three things you know you throw away and tried to find a way of getting a reusable alternatives. great examples are loose tea. no tea bags, loose teas. has a canister or container which holds water so you haven't got to buy water bottles and, really simply, make your own food. when you go to and take the kids to school, give them a packed lunch so you don't have to buy unnecessary plastic. there are lots of different ways. it depends on what you use. i have a shampoo bar, a condition bar, soido have a shampoo bar, a condition bar, so i do not have bottles. safety maze you raises are amazing. 0ne razor has thousands of blades. —— safety razors are amazing. lots of ways of making simple changes that

are not that difficult. to find once people start to make one or two changes, it becomes easier for them to make more? exactly. the ball gets rolling. when you do one thing, you go onto the next thing and realise how important it is. you know how easy it is with one tiny change. let me try something else, something a bit harder, and it becomes nicely addictive because you get a nice ca ke addictive because you get a nice cake and a nice feel, the humble feeling that you're doing something to help out the environment. you do not have a panic. you know you are doing the right thing and it feels tremendous. we know we need to do more and do it faster. do you ever feel despondent when you see images like a magnificent well following a piece of plastic, or birds having their stomachs pumped to get rid of their stomachs pumped to get rid of the plastic that is preventing them from eating? do you everfeel despondent and think, this is such a

huge overwhelming challenge, how will we ever address it? it is huge, bigger than we could even realise. we have only started to open our eyes to the damage. we have to look at the damage we are dealing with right now and seeing we can do to make an effect. if we all work together and so many companies are, parliament is helping us out as well by 2042. we will start to see positive changes. it is a case of understanding how important it is by that what we can do with really quick results that will work. good to talk to use. thank you so much. thank you. and you can find easy ways to make a difference and share what you are doing at bbc.co.uk/plasticswatch. back campaign was launched by the bbc with david attenborough today.

—— that campaign. for most it has been another lovely, sunny day with strong sunshine lifting the temp it is into the low 20s in the south and the high teens in the north. —— lifting the temperatures. we did have rain and drizzle in scotland but that should pull away from most parts of maine and scotland as we go through the night. temperatures will tumble again. —— mainland scotland. not quite as low, the temperatures, so therefore they should get a little higher through the course of sunday. when the early—morning mist goes, it should be a lovely, sunny day for most. there might be more clout in east anglia and the south—east limiting temperatures to the low 20s. without the cloud in scotland and northern ireland were tempered as will get into the 20s, 24, 25 in
