it is an amazing feeling. in football, england manager gareth southgate says his side can create their own history in the world cup. a win against panama later would send them into the knock—out stages of the tournament in russia. and a panel of writers, thinkers and leaders nominate the stories they think have shaped the world. good morning and welcome to bbc news. the government has announced new measures aimed at halving the number of obese children in england by 2030. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says the cost of childhood obesity has become too great to ignore. the new measures would include a ban

on the sale of caffeine—heavy drinks to children, better calorie labelling on menus, and plans to prevent shops displaying unhealthy food at checkouts. 0ur health correspondent, dominic hughes, reports. the government's first obesity strategy for england, unveiled in 2016, was seen by many health campaigners as a missed opportunity. ever since, ministers have been under pressure to go further and so many of the measures that were ditched two years ago are now back on the agenda. the new obesity strategy includes a proposal to ban tv advertising ofjunk food before the 9pm watershed. there will also be curbs on supermarket promotions, such as buy—one—get—one—free deals on sugary, high—fat foods. and all primary school pupils in england will be encouraged to get active through schemes like walking or running a daily mile. we are really delighted to see this new childhood obesity plan. it's brave and ambitious and it's where we should be as a nation. the scottish government also

plans to announce tough measures to reduce obesity, an issue that is now firmly established as one of the big public health challenges facing the uk. but after what was widely seen as a false start, the government's plans will now face close scrutiny. dominic hughes, bbc news. let's discuss these measures that are being put forward by the government for consultation on tackling childhood obesity in england. joining me now is hawther kashem who is a coordinator at action 0n sugar, a group of specialists concerned with sugar and its effects on health. thank you so much for being with us. what is your reaction to this package of measures that the government are going to consult on? it is not going to come in potentially for quite some time. we definitely welcome it. it is a step in the right direction, but as you mentioned, it is a consultation, so there will be lots of pushback from food companies on these measures,

and we don't know if they are going to happen. the documents that was released, chapter one of the plan to 90, released, chapter one of the plan to go, excluded all these measures. at the time many said it was disappointing. —— the plan to to two yea rs disappointing. —— the plan to to two years ago. why is this such an issue? we have statistics showing why children are seriously overweight and obese, and we have got to look at environment children are living in and why we have such high rates and clearly the types of promotions and the way they target children and families is having an impactand children and families is having an impact and that is why we have such high rates. we need to tackle them and that is why we will be consulting on them and then we can get to the stage where we will be turbo—charging these actions. get to the stage where we will be turbo-charging these actions. some of these ideas like not having tempting sweets at the checkout in a

supermarket, for example, by itself thatis supermarket, for example, by itself that is perhaps a small measure. but do we need to put those measures together? would you like to see much more dramatic action on top of what the government is talking about here? i think we want to see all the actions, joined up approach, all these actions together to really change the environment children are living in, so it is geared towards healthier choices. at the moment it is not. i know it has been a long time that obesity rates have increased gradually and it will take time to reduce those rates, but that is why we need all these joined up actions to happen at the same time so actions to happen at the same time so that the environment is really changed. we have just been hearing from jeremy hunt who has been on the andrew marr programme. let's have a listen to what he is saying about what the government plans to do. great deal has happened. we have introduced the sugary drinks tax which has seen half of manufacturers we formally to meddling is to reduce

the sugar content, which is about 45 million kilos of sugar taken off the market. but every parent is worried about this issue and we have a package of measures today which we are doing for the first time, something very bold. we want to halve childhood obesity by 2030. every restaurant, every snack bar, every sausage vendor, every restaurant, every snack bar, every sausage vendor, every every restaurant, every snack bar, every sausage vendor, every ice cream van, is going to have to have the calories involved visible to customers? we are going to consult on precisely how small business you would need to be to be potentially exempt from that. but certainly all big chains we go to, they need to give that information, and we need to improve people's understanding, particularly parents, they want to ta ke particularly parents, they want to take responsibility, and they need to play their part as well. that was jeremy hunt, that wasjeremy hunt, the health secretary. he says the government is being very bold on childhood obesity

in terms of their measures. do you think they are being bold enough?” think they are being bold enough?” think they are being bold enough?” think the first plan had a bold action, which was mentioned, the sugar tax, the soft drinks industry levy. that has had a huge impact on reducing levels of sugar in soft drinks, which is a bold action and they deserve credit for that. but we need those actions to be applied in other areas. chocolate confectionery isa other areas. chocolate confectionery is a huge category. we need to look at how we can incentivise the companies to reduce levels of sugar in those products, and the general energy density of those products, reducing that. yes, some bold actions there but more needs to be done and a joined up approach is needed. a long way to go. action on sugar, thank you for your time and thank you for coming in. voting has begun in the presidential and parliamentary elections in turkey. president erdogan is hoping for another five—year term in office. but he's facing a strong challenge in the presidential contest mainly from the centre—left, and in the parliamentary vote from a coalition of opposition parties, as tim willcox explains.

turkey holds snap presidential and parliamentary elections today, brought forward by president erdogan. the elections were originally scheduled for november 2019. if no candidate wins an outright majority in the first round of the presidential elections, a second round will be held on the 8th ofjuly. so who are the main presidential contenders? of course president recep tayyip erdogan is running for a second time. he has been the dominant figure in the country's politics since 2002 and will seek five more years with beefed—up powers approved in last year's referendum. that referendum changed turkey's parliamentary system to an executive presidency. there is meral aksener, who was a hardline interior minister during the height of the violence with pkk kurdish militants in 1997. last year she founded the iyi party, or good party, and

has been trying to reinvent herself as a pro—democracy nationalist. ms aksener is often nicknamed the she—wolf. muharrem ince is running for turkey's main opposition party, the republican people's party, chp. he is a long—standing mp and former physics teacher. he has seized the momentum, equalling the firebrand rhetoric of mr erdogan. also standing is selahattin demirtas of the pro—kurdish hdp party. he was imprisoned in november 2016, after being accused of links to pkk kurdish militia. he's running from behind bars. tim willcox reporting. one of britain's main railway lines is back under state control this morning. the east coast line was returned to public ownership after the government ended the stagecoach and virgin franchise. it will now be known as the london north eastern railway,

a name last used in the 1940s. the department for transport will run the service until at least 2020. our business correspondent, joe lynam, is with me. as we are hearing, a throwback to many decades, the lner. just give us the background of why we have got to this stage. we have privatised ra i lwa ys this stage. we have privatised railways but you wouldn't know it on the east coast line today. virgin and stagecoach had a consortium and they handed back their franchise because they simply could not make it pay. stagecoach, the majority owner of this service, claimed they had lost £200 million running the service, so they literally handed it back to the government. the government had been promised more than £3 billion until 2023 by these companies, but the companies said,

listen, we are losing so much money we have got to hand it back to you. the government has come under a lot of heat from labour and the trade unions for basically letting the two companies off the hook instead of demanding the extra £2 billion due to the government. that is why they handed back the franchise and it is back under state control run by lner. and what difference will it make? what will passengers see that has changed ? make? what will passengers see that has changed? initially very little. even the livery will not change for a while. it will take a couple of weeks to paint all the trains and give them the new red and black colouring for their livery. also most of the staff, if not initially all of the staff, will remain from the virgin stagecoach franchise, the managing director, david vaughan, will go over to this new entity. so initially very little. but as the service beds down, we will see changes and even schedule changes, and baby food changes and livery

changes. but the idea is that customers and passengers don't see too much disruption given a nightmare that has already been seen on other services throughout the uk. thank you. joe lynam. 0n the stroke of midnight local time saudi arabia became the last country in the world to allow women to drive. the lifting of the ban is being hailed as an important step towards modernisation by crown prince mohamed bin salman. but there's been criticism that some of the women who campaigned for the change are in prison on charges of treason. donna larsen reports. just after midnight in riyadh, and a piece of history is about to be made. a perfectly normal act in every other country in the world but, until now, not in saudi arabia. ujdeen al—ateek takes the wheel of the family car and drives into the street. all i can think about, i can still do my own stuff. i don't have to ask for anyone to take me around. that's very important.

for us to drive, ok, maybe a lot of us don't need to drive but, for me, i used to drive, i used to do my own stuff. so i'm not used to someone to drive me around. wow! i'm so excited, i'm so happy. honestly, i can't express my feelings. i haven't been sleeping for two days just thinking about this moment. and today we're actually on the roads, driving. people are waving, they're so happy. i'm so honoured. it's an amazing feeling. enjoying the freedom of the city, this change has been a long time coming. some activists have been demanding the right to drive for decades. back in 2013, this woman took the wheel in defiance of the law. some were punished for doing the same thing. change is under way in saudi arabia. cinemas have been allowed to open along with the first music concerts and the first fashion week. it's all part of a modernisation

drive led by the crown prince, mohammad bin salman. but while some restrictions are easing, saudi women are still not free to travel, marry, divorce, or even leave prison without the permission of a male relative. and those who demand too much change are still being punished. 0nly last month, more than a dozen prominent women's activists were arrested for demanding greater rights. donna larson, bbc news. earlier i spoke to najah al—0taibi, a senior analyst at the arabia foundation, which is a washington—based think tank focusing on the middle east. as a saudi woman herself, she told me how happy she is to see the ban on female drivers lifted. it's fantastic and it is a great step for saudi arabia to prove that it is committed to improving women's

rights. the ban on women driving has a lwa ys rights. the ban on women driving has always been the reason why saudi arabia has an image deficit everywhere. it has undermined every step that the government has undertaken to support women, every progressive step that has been taken in the favour of women has been undermined by the ban on driving. so it is very important for saudi arabia. and it's taken a long time for women to get this change, hasn't it? many years. yes, it is almost a century ago this has been a topical opinion issue, a century ago. it is never too late. it is the start. and crown prince started this and it will be the first step towards more rights for women. the first step, you say, because there are lots of things that women still cannot do. just outline some of the things that women can't do in saudi arabia.” agree with you. there is a list of demands after driving. women now can drive but they can't travel without

a male guardian. can't divorce. they need protection from domestic abuse. they can't leave prison without a male guardian. these issues are very important. for women who are educated abroad like myself, i would like to see women in leadership positions, women who can influence decision—making, and this has started but very slowly. a few months ago we had the first saudi woman to head up the sport for the nation, so we would like to see more women in leading positions. so more women in leading positions. so more women in leading positions. so more women in positions of power. do you think this decision to allow women to drive could be just the start?m is. freedom of movement means freedom. it is the freedom of choice. after that, to choose to live anywhere, to choose to escape abuse, and when you have freedom of

movement you can do anything else. of course there will be conservatives in saudi arabia who are horrified by this reform. there has always been our position towards any reform. i can tell you that the majority of saudi people are supportive of women's rights. i was so pleased to see last night at midnight when women went to the streets and drove their cars. people we re streets and drove their cars. people were waving at them, cheering, so happy. it just makes were waving at them, cheering, so happy. itjust makes me feel that this is a real change and society is changing and it is opening up. and the future will be great. women campaigning for more rights and young people in general in saudi arabia campaigning for reform as well. yes, 6096 of the saudi population is under the age of 35. this is a push and it will help the government to implement all the changes and all the reform that they

wa nt to changes and all the reform that they want to do. and also we are led now bya want to do. and also we are led now by a very young and ambitious cramp in some who understands the young population and he isjust listening to the population at what they say. —— ambitious crown prince. the headlines on bbc news: new measures aimed at halving the number of obese children in england by 2030 have been announced by the government. polls open in turkey's presidential and parliamentary elections — the biggest challenge to president erdogan's 15 years in government. east coast main line is back under government control following the ending of the virgin and stagecoach franchise. now time for the sport

and just one question. can england's do it again? there are just over three hours to go until england play their second match at the world cup in russia. they've made the almost 600—mile journey from their training base in repino on the gulf of finland, to nizhny novgorod where they'll play panama at one o'clock. 0ur sports correspondent natalie pirks is at the stadium for us, and natalie it's going to be a hot one? yes, incredibly hard and incredibly loud. three hours to go until kick—off and england fans are starting to arrive and the flags are going up. let me show you around this beautiful stadium, 45 —— 45,000 seats, built for £700 million, and these transparent panels light up at night, which is beautiful. but that is making it incredibly hot. it is about 31 degrees but pitch side is even hotter. gareth southgate said that wouldn't affect the players. there are no physiological benefits to training in the heat so they

carried on training in repino yesterday, 12 or 13 degrees cooler than this. it is hot to work in and it will be even hotter to play in. we know that dele alli is injured and ruben loftus—cheek will take his place in midfield. the big decision for gareth southgate was that the jo blair raheem sterling. no goals in 21 games for england. —— the big decision was to play raheem sterling. 0r marcus rashford. in that friendly before they came here he played. it looks like raheem sterling will play. he doesn't want it to look like he has lost faith in him and he doesn't want to do that to the youngster. if england win, they should be guaranteed a place in they should be guaranteed a place in the last 16. they should be beside, ranked 55. but who knows? —— they should beat this side. thank you. let's have a look at today's fixtures.

england as we know first up against panama at one. after that it's japan against senegal at four, and then poland versus colombia at seven. coverage is on bbc one and bbc radio 5live. england's cricketers are on for a series whitewash against australia — they play their fifth and final one—dayer at old trafford today. eoin morgan's men are looking to make history, by completing their first whitewash of australia in any format of the game in 140 years of matches between the arch rivals. here's our cricket reporter henry moeran. england have been a little bit erratic in certain formats, particularly test cricket, but it is this one—day side that since the 2015 world cup has particularly become one of the world's best. they are favourites for the tournament here. they are so good at the limited overs format of the game. frustration for england supporters lies in the five—day game, where there have been erratic performances, the performances followed by poor performances. but they have never beaten australia in every format in every game of a series and while australians that i might not

be paying too much attention to it with the australian rules football season going on and with the dominance that england have had, over here this is a significant day. it is not a full strength england side so what does that mean about where england are ahead of the world cup? no question about it, this australian side is not full strength. david warner is missing. mitchell starc, josh hazlewood, also not in the squad. the big test will come up this summer against india. the three—day matches against india will be the real challenge, and give us will be the real challenge, and give usa will be the real challenge, and give us a good sense positionally in terms of where england are for their development heading into the world cup next year. and a quick word about paul farbrace, the assistant head coach, who will look after the t20 side for a couple of matches. is that a hint that he will be ready to ta ke that a hint that he will be ready to take over from trevor bayliss? he is certainly one of the names in the hat to take over from that role and he has done it on an interim basis ona number of he has done it on an interim basis on a number of occasions. in a couple of years than we expect

trevor bayliss to leave, which is what he has said, after the ashes in 2019, paul farbrace will be one of the names at the top of the list and it will be interesting to see how these t20s go to see how england teams respond. they have always responded very well to him in the past. that is all the sport for now and you can get more on all of those stories on the bbc sport website. staying with the world cup now and england's game against panama this afternoon. a win will take the team through to the next round of the competition in russia. let's speak to sarah rainsford, who's outside the nizhny novgorod stadium where the match is being played. give us an idea of the atmosphere ahead of the kick—off. give us an idea of the atmosphere ahead of the kick-off. it is a great atmosphere already with almost three hours to go. the crowds are arriving. there is a brand—new metro station that way but the main crowd, if you look around, you can see the

top of the stadium there, and the crowd of fans beginning to build. lots of england flags coming and panama flagged as well. but lots of russians as well. the vast majority of people in this crowd will be russians here to enjoy the football, to enjoy the world cup. the england fans, probably about 2000 have bought tickets for this game, we understand. a few more panamanians, we think, who have been making their presence felt in the city over the last few days. people arriving by train and plane and somebody in the back of a transit van, seven hours from moscow. they are doing everything they can to get here for this great festive atmosphere, not just the football but everything around it. everybody in the streets drinking late at night, dancing and singing and meeting people from all sorts of nationalities. the kind of thing that nizhny novgorod in particular would not have imagined

because this was a closed city in soviet times. the soviet union disappeared nearly three decades ago but in those days, it was a city where foreigners could not come and now the whole world has descended and they are enjoying the football and they are enjoying the football and they are enjoying the football and the party. that is an incredible change. the secret city, where they made submarines, and they didn't wa nt made submarines, and they didn't want foreigners at all. now they are welcoming foreigners. yes, and with open arms. this is a country on a massive charm offensive. we have said it before and i will say it again. this is russia as it wants the world to see it, friendly, welcoming and hospitable, showing its best race to the world. in nizhny novgorod we are seeing the new investment, the new metro station over there, the brand—new stadium that has been built for the football, and there are questions about what happens to it after the world cup, but for the moment the people of nizhny novgorod i think it is fantastic. things that they thought would never happen here have finally happened. the bag and has been finished, the city is looking great and it has been good for the

people who are happy. -- the embankment has been finished. thank you. sarah rainsford. the health secretaryjeremy hunt has described the warnings by airbus about brexit uncertainty as completely inappropriate. earlier this week, airbus warned it could pull out of the uk if the country exits the single market and customs union, with no transition deal. speaking on the andrew marr show, mr hunt said the government had to stand firm and ignore siren voices. ijust i just thought it was completely inappropriate for businesses to be making these kinds of threats for one very simple reason. we are in an absolutely critical moment in the

brexit discussions. what that means is that we need to get behind theresa may to deliver the best possible brexit, clean brexit, and what businesses want, and i was in business for 14 years, what they wa nt business for 14 years, what they want is clarity and certainty. the more that we undermine theresa may, the more likely we are to end up with a fudge that will be an absolute disaster for everyone. that wasjeremy absolute disaster for everyone. that was jeremy hunt speaking absolute disaster for everyone. that wasjeremy hunt speaking earlier and our political correspondent jonathan blakejoins me our political correspondent jonathan blake joins me to discuss that. he is really slapping down at us now, saying that is completely inappropriate. yes, strong words from the health secretary in response to the words from airbus, bmw and freemans, the latest international company to warn about brexit, they are worried about the implications of leaving without the deal. —— siemens. it is different to the language used by government ministers in the week when abbas

made that warning. they were striking a reassuring tone and saying we are listening to your concerns and we understand them but if we go into the negotiations and we get a good deal and the no deal scenario has got to be on the table, we don't envisage it happening. but we don't envisage it happening. but we heard a stronger line from jeremy hunt there. we should stand firm and resist the siren voices, and saying it is inappropriate for businesses to make these voices. siemens and bmw clearly take a different view because they have all voiced their concerns in public. it will be interesting to see what interaction business leaders have to that. but it isa business leaders have to that. but it is a tricky time for the prime minister because she is heading into the next round of negotiations at the next round of negotiations at the summit in brussels next week. crucial time. the whole process has been fraught with difficulties, fraught with debate. as you say, the prime minister heading back to brussels at a very key time now. we have seen an example of the pressure

she is under not only from businesses on one side, saying we need close ties with the eu and detail as soon as possible on what that relationship will be, but also an open letter published today from 60 former cabinet ministers, mps and others, saying that the planning for ano others, saying that the planning for a no deal scenario, where we would revert to world trade organisation rules, should be speeded up. many would in fact be quite happy in that scenario. saying that to have real leverage in the talks, the government needs to treat that as a real and likely option, and they say that the prime minister is up against intransigent and punitive strategy from the negotiators on the eu side. pressure coming at the prime minister on all sides coming into the key phase of these negotiations. thank you, jonathan blake, our political correspondent. now it is time to look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. things are hotting up over the next

few days. beautiful skies and sunshine. it really is hotting up. in the sunshine and the light winds we will see highs up to 27 degrees. further north we are in the 20s. a bit of a sea breeze and a bit cooler and cloudier around the east coast for a time for the largely dry and clear overnight into tomorrow morning with temperatures dipping down to single figures in the countryside. a fresh start to monday morning and another glorious day ahead tomorrow. a bit of cloud here and there. the sunshine somewhat hazy but it is looking dry and warm. a bit cooler with the sea breezes around the coast was in and we are expecting to see temperatures of 24 to 29. the warming trend continues
