7:03 pm
spent the day with england fans. in a moment we will talk to our sport news correspondent, natalie prirks who at the nizhny novgorod stadium first to sarah rainsford who has spent the day with the england fans. i would imagine it was deafening at the end. it was. the raw, six times we heard that today. nothing like we we re we heard that today. nothing like we were expecting. the england fans celebrating like they never thought they would and the celebrations have continued here tonight and the panama fans have also been enjoying the moment because for them it was their first world cup and first ever goal in the world cup. they have been dancing in the street as well. the england fans have the most to be pleased with and i am joined by some fans, mark and alex, originally from sunderland although you have come from canada. what was it like? we
7:04 pm
did not expect that. we hoped for it but we did not expect it. we came from canada, it was amazing. our first time seeing england play live, we watch them on tv and it was a dream come true. a hat—trick for harry kane. when your captain is scoring, he is leading and when he is leading, your players play the best. everyone is celebrating and so are panama. a great atmosphere. it was an one of the best things about it, because we have never been to see england play live, we are learning all the chance at the same time. to be able to experience this learning experience at the same time, seeing are learning all the chance at the same time. to be able to experience this learning experience at the same time, seeing out experience at the same time, seeing our team play in the world cup in russia, it is believable. we actually saw a record, the biggest win for england at the world cup in
7:05 pm
history. that isjust unbelievable. enjoy the rest of your world cup, you have about three more days left in russia. thank you very much. just a little bit of the flavour of the response from england fans tonight. they are singing and dancing, russians, panamanians, colombians, croatians, argentinians are all here. the city was once closed to foreigners when it was a soviet city. everything here has changed completely. they are still in fine voice. natalie, an amazing victory, but cynics will say it was against panama? yes and they are ranked 55th in the world and they are not brilliant stars of football but i have been with england in south africa when they drew with algeria andi africa when they drew with algeria and i have been in brazil when they drew with costa rica, they can only beat what is put in front of them
7:06 pm
and this time they did that emphatically. gareth southgate has been talking about this young side, forgetting about english faders and making their own history and boy, did they do that today. only the third time since 1950 they have micro—back—to—back opening matches and of course harry kane becoming only the third englishman after sir geoff hurst and gary lineker to score a hat—trick in a world cup and it is clear that things they have been working on in training have come to fruition. it is very important to talk about what happens because of their estates they will play belgium. that is not a dead rubber even though teams will be resting players. the result will determine where they go in the last 16. at the moment, england are at the top of the group but only based on the fact they have one less yellow card than belgium because they have both scored the same amount of goals and conceded the same amount of goals and have the
7:07 pm
same amount of goals and have the same amount of points. that game on thursday will be important. it will be interesting to see how it plays out as this tournament hopefully goes on. thank you. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are charlie wells, from the economist and joel taylor, deputy newws editor at the metro. the government has announced new measures to tackle obesity in england. ministers want to ban shops displaying unhealthy snacks at checkouts impose tighter restrictions on television adverts and ban the sale of energy drinks to children. the government said the cost of obesity was "too great to ignore", but labour accused the prime minister of a "dossier of failure" on children's health. here's our health editor, hugh pym. looking after the health of future generations.
7:08 pm
that is the aim of the government's plan. this class is run by a healthy lifestyle initiative developed by hull city council. lift those knees up a little bit more. did you hear is that any help in choosing the right food is welcome. unhealthy food is just cheap, and it is easier to go in and get something, like chocolate, or a packet of crisps. the government plan for england includes restrictions on unhealthy food promotion in supermarkets, including sweets at the tills. restrictions on tvjunk food advertising on all programmes up to the 9pm watershed and calorie information to be published in restaurants. these measures were all considered by david cameron in 2016. but then they were put on hold when theresa may became prime minister. all of these options were available two years ago and you didn't take them. was it a wasted opportunity? you can always do more, but what we did two years ago is that we wanted to reduce the sugar content in food consumed
7:09 pm
by children, and if we did not deliver on that, we would go further. the industry did not deliver so we are going further. reading the detail today, some health campaigners said they still had reservations. we welcome the plan. it is definitely a step in the right direction. however, many of these actions are subject to consultation so we do not know if they will take place. there are other areas that need to be looked at and considered for the future. the food and drinks federation said there would be deep disquiet in the industry and there will be intense scrutiny of how the measures might work. the government wants every restaurant and cafe to set out the calorie content of each dish on its menu. that is a big ask, especially for smaller outlets. a lot of detail will have to be worked out on how it is going to be lamented after the consultation process. out on how it is going to be implemented after the consultation process.
7:10 pm
scotland's first minister, who recently met celebrity chef jamie oliver, made her own pledge to halve child obesity. a plan will be published soon. so are these measures what parents want? we sent leigh milner down to a park in west london to find out. enjoying a picnic in their local park. louise and herfamily, originally from france, have packed a healthy lunch. on the menu, strawberries, apricots and a potato salad. it is for them to learn, make their own choices and i will keep that going forward. so, do these children in west london know what happens when you eat too many sweets and unhealthy snacks. you can get ale and your teeth can get decayed. 0k, ale and your teeth can get decayed. ok, how do you feel about eating sugary things? not that good. you
7:11 pm
can have it on occasion. how do you feel when your mum says she cannot have any chocolate today? not very happy. but do you realise why she says that? yes. for accurate and his two children, he feels it is important to teach them at an early age, the importance of eating healthily. we see a lot of bad examples around us and we see the advertising and there isjunk food but never to the kids. you do to read the ingredients to find out if it is healthy or unhealthy. as part of the plan, sweets and fatty snacks will no longer be sold at checkouts and there will be tighter restrictions on advertising junk food on television, but will it work on these parents? it can only help, stop small children being tempted. it isa stop small children being tempted. it is a good approach. stop small children being tempted. it is a good approachlj stop small children being tempted. it is a good approach. i supported. whether it is watermelon instead of
7:12 pm
chocolate, water rather than fizzy drinks, it seems that parents at this park in hammersmith are already doing what they can to keep the children healthy. prince william has arrived injordan at the start of a middle eastern tour that will see him become the first british royal to pay official visits to both israel and palestinian territories. the duke of cambridge's royal air force plane touched down at amman‘s marka military airport, where he was given a red—carpet welcome by crown prince hussein bin abdullah. later today, he will attend a birthday party in honour of his grandmother, the queen, at the residence of the british ambassador in amman. prince william will spend two days injordan before leaving for israel. let's get more now england's resounding 6—1win over panama which takes them through to the knockout stages of the world cup. england fans across the uk are celebrating the lions‘ win. here are some in newcastle speaking to our reporter gerry jackson. cheering and applause. your instant
7:13 pm
reaction? absolutely brilliant. did not expect that. was expecting about two or three, but two win 6—1, it is brilliant. berlin performance. —— brilliant. berlin performance. —— brilliant performance. cheering and applause. incredible. it was what we wanted and needed. a little bit of a head start for the next round. i still think we will beat belgium. and then it is coming home. cheering and applause. # footballs coming home. if harry kane was going to score a hat—trick, his wife is pregnant, now it will be baby harry. baby harry bruce. yes. that will do as!
7:14 pm
meanwhile, thousands of panama fans got up early to watch the game on big screens in the capital, panama city. our correspondent will grant gave us this update. panama came into this world cup with pretty realistic hopes, to be honest, and into this match, most fa ns honest, and into this match, most fans expecting at the very best, a draw with england, some perhaps in their wildest dreams are hoping they would take three points. nevertheless, it was not to be. soon after kick—off, the heavens opened here in panama city and after that the goals started pouring in. panama we re the goals started pouring in. panama were 5—0 down by half time but there was something for them to hold onto. the country's first world cup goal scored by their oldest player. a moment really to savour for all of those fans who had been up since before daybreak. panama out but certainly not down. the headlines on bbc news. england fans celebrate after the lions make it
7:15 pm
through to the knock out stages of the world cup in russia thanks to a record—breaking win over panama. new measures aimed at halving the number of obese children in england by 2030 have been announced by the government. polls have closed in the turkish presidential election, and local media is reporting president erdogan is in the lead after over half of the votes have been counted. turkish television says the country's president, recep tayyip erdogan, has taken a strong lead in its presidential and parliamentary elections, with about 80% of the votes counted. turnout was high with 87% of turks taking part, according to the state broadcaster. the snap election has been seen as the biggest challenge yet to the president. his ak party has been in powerfor 16 years. selin giritjoins us now from istanbul. the night falls here but we have yet
7:16 pm
to see the final results. the state—run agency has given the presidential results as such, mr erdogan leading with 54.4% and his main challenger standing at 29.8%. but there are conflicting figures as well. independent election monitors across the country are giving different figures, saying that the votes for president erdogan remain at 43%. why is this important? president erdogan needs to get more than 50% of the vote to secure the executive presidency that he was hoping to get in the first round, otherwise, if no candidate gets more than 50% of the votes, there will be a run—off in two weeks and he will face his main challenger. we have
7:17 pm
still yet to know whether the final results would put mr erdogan over this 50% threshold. there is also of course one important other thing, turkish people have been voting for parliamentary elections as well and as we speak, we are learning that the ak party party has actually lost its parliamentary majority, which was down to a kurdish party getting more than 10% of the votes. was down to a kurdish party getting more than 1096 of the votes. thank you very much. the latest on those elections in turkey and we will keep an eye on those results as they continue to come in. the health secretaryjeremy hunt has described the warning by the plane maker airbus about brexit uncertainty as "completely inappropriate. " earlier this week, the company warned it could pull out of the uk if the country exits the single market and customs union without a transition deal. speaking on the andrew marr show, mr hunt said the government had to "stand firm" and "ignore siren voices." ben wright, our political
7:18 pm
correspondent, joins us now. quite clear that he is trying to tell the same line that theresa may would want to but it is notjust pass any more. no, airports was joined by siemens a couple of days ago andi joined by siemens a couple of days ago and i think more companies are expected to break cover quite soon, adding to this chorus of business voices who are now out in the open saying they're concerned about the prospects of a no deal but also about the general direction and lack of clarity from the government about what they want from the brexited negotiations. it was an interesting tone from jeremy hunt because on friday, the government's response to the airbus statement was trying to calm it down and saying that the government was listening to the concerns of business, was going to be speaking to airbus, that it had full faith in its ability to handle these negotiations. this was a far more robust condemnation of what
7:19 pm
airbus in particular had done. jeremy hunt called their intervention completely inappropriate and saying that the duty of business now was to get behind the government and not put out these statements. it was an extraordinary response and there has been a counterattack by the cbi today saying thatjeremy hunt's comments were the perfect strategy for inhibiting businesses in the uk. tensions that were behind the thing quite apparent between government and business on brexit are starting to boil over. thank you very much. president trump has called for illegal immigrants to be deported immediately from the united states "with no judges or court cases". the president took to twitter and called the current system "a mockery to good immigration policy and law and order". his latest comments come after his administration received widespread condemnation, following revelations that more than two thousand children had been separated from their parents at detention centres near the us—mexico border. our correspondent, chris buckler is washington.
7:20 pm
that what donald trump is suggesting here will shock many of his political opponents. this idea that there should be nojudicial political opponents. this idea that there should be no judicial process and that people should simply be deported when they illegally tried to enter america. as things stand, there is this process of asylum where they can try to convince an asylu m where they can try to convince an asylum officer and go before an immigrationjudge. it asylum officer and go before an immigration judge. it is asylum officer and go before an immigrationjudge. it is not a new system, it has been in place for decades, but donald trump believes that the whole system has become unwieldy and he has taken hardline on immigration itself. pushing of course that policy of separating children from their parents as they try to cross the border, which some in the white house, it is suggested, was in order to try and ensure that they would have a deterrent against a number of people trying to arrive into the country. however, what we have seen in the last week is donald
7:21 pm
trump having to back down on that issue of family separations and, as a result, he is now having something ofa a result, he is now having something of a backlash against his decision to back down against his better instincts. this is a pretty stark tweet when you read it, he talks about not allowing all of these people to invade our country. he says when someone comes in, we must, with nojudges or court says when someone comes in, we must, with no judges or court cases, says when someone comes in, we must, with nojudges or court cases, bring them back from where they came. there is a lot of confusion about what is happening to those families who have been separated. we believe 2000 children have not been reunited with their parents and there are suggestions that will not happen until either they are deported or they are released from detention but all of this, certainly the hardening of this rhetoric gives you a clear indication that donald trump is intending to talk about immigration going into the mid—term elections here which are held in november and these are crucial congress elections
7:22 pm
which will be extremely divisive. thank you very much, chris. british couple, gayle and charlie anderson have been found dead in their home in mount pleasant jamaica. it's believed mr anderson was a builder who had built his own home injamaica and the couple had recently retired there. police are treating the deaths as homicide. our reporterjessica parkerjoins us now. we had a statement from the sons of the couple. they say are parents enjoyed a long and happy marriage for 55 years and leave behind four grandchildren and one great—grandchild. they were hard—working people great—grandchild. they were ha rd—working people and great—grandchild. they were hard—working people and they say building a business with integrity and making sure we've provided for, charlie and gayle were pillars of the community in manchester and jamaica and were hugely popular and loved by many. we know the couple had loved by many. we know the couple ha d rece ntly loved by many. we know the couple had recently retired to jamaica to the north—east part of the island and had previously been living in manchester. very briefly, we must
7:23 pm
make the point ofjust how many people from this country visit jamaica. the foreign and commonwealth office figures say more than 2000 british nationals visit jamaica each year. this couple had obviously decided to move that there. there are reports of violence injamaica, high there. there are reports of violence in jamaica, high levels there. there are reports of violence injamaica, high levels of crime and violence according to the foreign and commonwealth of ‘s, but most resorts they say are trouble—free and safe. leaders of 16 eu member states have been holding talks in brussels on migration. they're trying to agree on reforms that will help the eu to better manage the influx of people which began in 2015. italy and malta have recently banned charity rescue boats from their ports, leaving vessels like the lifeline, loaded with migrants, stranded in international waters. we can now cross to our europe correspondent kevin connolly in brussels. what ideas have they come up with? there are never any shortage of ideas at the summit and informal
7:24 pm
gatherings like the one today, the problem is finding something that is practical, that will work, that eve ryo ne practical, that will work, that everyone can agree to pay for and to operate together. today was always going to be a kind of open—ended discussion, a sort of preparation for a european summit that will happen here on thursday and friday of this week and it was originally felt that it was going to be built around the concerns of germany. germany is worried about secondary movement within the eu, which is when migrants who have already registered somewhere else in the european union try and get into germany. now, slowly, as last week when passed, we had more and more country saying they wanted to come as well and italy saying it was not at all happy with that agenda, because the italians felt that agenda about addressing concerns was designed to help angela merkel hold her governing coalition together in germany and was not really about the fundamental problem which is, not
7:25 pm
just what to do with people who are arriving across the mediterranean, and those numbers by the way are falling, it is also about what to do with those people who have already arrived over the last couple of yea rs arrived over the last couple of years and his ultimate destiny is to be decided. the italians came here today with an agenda. they wanted to change the conversation and they wa nted change the conversation and they wanted to start the european union talking about doing more to help italy and more to help other countries which are the countries of first arrival as they are called. that is where migrants cross the mediterranean and first get out of a vote and that tends these days to be italy. the italians put forward a plan, which lots of european union countries would agree with, which is to strengthen external borders and they say they are going away satisfied, but there is a lot of talking as always he still to do. thank you very much. lava flows from hawaii's most active volcano are creeping closer to more homes, triggering further evacuations. the eruption started on may 3 and has been
