the response to the grenfell fire has said he wasn't trained how to evacuate people from a burning tower block and accepted he hadn't done all the required safety checks on the building before the disaster. at the public inquiry into the fire, michael dowden was forced to repeatedly admit he was unaware of the risks to the tower and and had no idea that fires could spread through cladding. his evidence has raised serious questions about london fire brigade‘s procedures and training on tower blocks. our special correspondent lucy manning has been at the inquiry today. 720 firefighters, 140 fire engines, and many stories of bravery that night. but the fire brigade is having to answer for its failure in telling people to leave their flats. michael dowden was one of the first firefighters at grenfell tower and in charge for the first hour. it was soon clear he did not have the right training. did you ever receive any specific

training on how to evacuate people from high floors in high—rise blocks, who has mobility difficulties? not that i can recall. government and fire brigade guidelines suggested that commanders can change the state of policy and consider evacuations. but michael dowden appeared unaware. what training did you ever receive... he paused the 17 seconds. asa receive... he paused the 17 seconds. as a commander i can't remember a time i've been on a training course that would facilitate that. did anybody give you any help or advice in understanding when it might be necessary to have a full evacuation? i don't think i've had any input from any individual. he accepted he had not done all of the fire safety checks when he had visited grenfell tower the previous year, that they had

never practised on high—rise buildings, and he had not known about his boss's fears about combustible cladding. do you think you would be able to identify a cladding fire if you saw one? no. i would identify a cladding fire if you saw one? no. iwould not identify a cladding fire if you saw one? no. i would not be able to identify a cladding fire because i did not know at that point that that was being used as a building material. in his written statement he said when he arrived at the fire he was quickly out of his comfort zone and was having to make decisions he had never made before. but he said, we did all we could. we were all exhausted and did our best. michael dowden did not feel well enough to continue his evidence today. he has left serious questions for the fire brigade and the way it trained its firefighters. mps will decide in the next few hours — whether to build a third

runway at heathrow airport later , in a vote likely to expose splits in both labour and tory ranks. the spotlight is on foreign secretary borisjohnson, he is in afghanistan. he vowed to lie in front of bulldozers to stop expansion, but is missing the vote because he's abroad. it is widely expected that the expansion plan he put out a statement saying his resignation would have achieved nothing and he will get more done by remaining in government. this is the scene live in the commons right now.... the chairman of the transport select committee is speaking at the moment. we are expecting other mps with constituency interests. there is

quite a lot of pressure on the number of mps who want to take part in this debate. let's have a quick listen to what she has to say. the economic case for expanding heathrow is overwhelming. but environmental concerns are critically important as well. they could and should be depressed through the development control process and other men and methods by taking steps such as imposing legally binding targets, better aircraft design, much improved public transport, and a new use of airspace strategy. today is a watershed. it must draw a line of the decades of dithering and take the bold decision that is it required in the national interest. expansion at heathrow will link the uk to vital emerging markets... that

is the chairman of the transport select committee. labour is split on this ad has decided to give its mps a free vote. the government, at least according to the mp who resigned according to vote against, had been planning to give a free vote but has decided to whip mps instead. our political editor laura kuenssberg has the story. loud with protest today... no ifs, no buts, no third runway! ..but those sounds could be replaced with the thunder of passengerjets in the years to come. in this village on the western outskirts of london, parliament was urged to say no. i think what has happened is something that is a disgrace to any civilised country. it makes me feel completely disenfranchised more than anything else. they are just going to knock my house down almost irrespective of what i have said. theresa may, when we had the labour version of this, she was against it, as was philip hammond, another local mp. get into power, whoops, we have changed our mind!

after decades of wrangling and those tory promises that it would not happen, the government is onside to expand london's heathrow. it is really important that the promises we make about noise, air quality, about the connections that are going to be provided elsewhere in the united kingdom are kept and set in stone. but not all ministers are on board. the foreign secretary found urgent business in afghanistan — he always vowed he would fight the project. but he was conveniently clocking up his own air miles. yes, flying around the world while objecting to expanding an airport. remember, this is only the equivalent of outlining planning permission. the vote is not about detailed flight paths or any final decision, but it has led to some restyling already of the tory party headquarters. big business however is desperate to push on and most mps support it, but parliament's backing might not last under another government.

even though many labour mps are behind heathrow... yes, we need airport capacity. yes, we need better connectivity between airports. we have put those tests down but they have not been met yet, so we will vote against it. those who want to build are almost certain to win tonight, but possible legal action beckons long before detailed plans emerge. this could be the last time that mps have their say, but on heathrow it will certainly not be the final word. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. in a moment will take to our transport correspondent, victoria fritz, who's at heathrow — first to our chief political .to our chief political correspondent, vicki young, who's at westminster is there much doubt that there will bea is there much doubt that there will be a government went night?|j is there much doubt that there will be a government went night? i don't think so. the conservatives today

feel pretty confident. although there are rebels on their own side they believe that is more than cancelled out by labour mps willing to support the project. the snp have now decided to abstain even though they say they do agree with expansion of heathrow they do not agree with this particular option. i think the government is feeling pretty confident. but you can hear from the depth of feeling amongst mps who are affected by this, how much it means to them, we know that because people like the conservative mp who resigned hisjob because people like the conservative mp who resigned his job as because people like the conservative mp who resigned hisjob as minister in order to vote against it tonight, they tell the stories about how if it affects their constituents. he talked about so—called night flights which begin at 4:30am every morning. people can set their watches they do not need alarm clock because they are woken by the noise from the aircraft. john macdonald, the sac shadow chancellor, talking about his constituencies, uses schools and homes will be demolished, churches,

how it will really impact on his constituency and also people talking about the impact of pollution. they feel that perhaps all this does is raised c02 feel that perhaps all this does is raised co2 emissions, bust all the targets that we have and they don't feel that ordinary people are being listened to. boris johnson is inevitably focused a lot of the criticism by being absent. the mp you were referring to who resigned, said he originally thought it would bea said he originally thought it would be a free vote anyway so he never expected to have to resign. why is the government in such difficulty over this? i think people were quite surprised that he's theresa may in the end decided to whip, to tell mps how to vote, because the expectation amongst some would be a free vote. that is what labour has done. we don't have a reason for that but you can imagine that this for the government, for ministers, for theresa may, at the end of tonight they will be able to say we have tackled an issue that people have

bottled for decades, so this is theresa may and this government getting on with something, they can say, taking a bold decision that others have walked away from for far too long and of course there are people saying this is also about the post brexit world, it is about global britain, about being well—connected because the fear is that heathrow is losing out, falling behind, other airports around the world and they think in that post brexit world trading, transport, those kind of connections with the rest of the world will be incredibly important. thank you very much. victoria is that heathrow now. how keen are the airport authorities to see this vote go through given that they have frankly waited years and watched politicians be in favour and then against and then in favour again at one point even cancel the whole project themselves?” again at one point even cancel the whole project themselves? i know, they have been plenty of false

starts. we have been talking about airport expansion for 50 years. when they started deciding how they would build heathrow and where it would be backin build heathrow and where it would be back in 1943, the biggest decision of the time was whether or not they should build on the land here that was actually used for growing vegetables. you can imagine that heathrow would be delighted if that was all that was at stake at the moment. no one if they were building a brand—new airport from scratch would cite it so close to such a big residential area, the busiest motorway in the uk and the biggest junction. there is an awful lot riding on this. so why other politicians, or some of them, in favour of going after the most expensive, the most complicated option of the three that were finally on the table? it is all to do with trade and economics, and economics of scale. when it comes to trade, when it comes to freight and cargo, this is where it is really happening. about a third all exports come in and out of the runways here

and this is the key argument in favour of expansion. it is all to do with britain and business and being open for business and new markets for british made goods. but those economies of scale and economics don't necessarily translate the passengers and politicians as well. when you look at passengers, they are more likely to go point—to—point destination whether that be out of flight destination whether that be out of flight from manchester to you new york for example then they would be to come down on a connecting flight to come down on a connecting flight to london and then fly out. there are airlines that are looking at expanding their offerings in secondary airports, is that is already happening. one wonders whether or not there is much that could be described as national in this national policy statement when there is spare capacity other airports like sta nsted, there is spare capacity other airports like stansted, ultimately it will come down to money. how much money is on the table when it comes to how much it will cost? how much will be given out in terms of compensation to those affected, those who might see their homes

bulldozed as a result? and whether 01’ bulldozed as a result? and whether or not they can find private investor must which will stay the course and back a project of this scale and of this size when we're talking about the most indebted airport company in the world. talking about the most indebted airport company in the worldm talking about the most indebted airport company in the world. it is interesting you make the point about trade investment because although heathrow is number seven on the most recent list of passengers numbers, it deals with every year, i think these were the 2016 numbers, seventh place just after these were the 2016 numbers, seventh placejust after chicago these were the 2016 numbers, seventh place just after chicago airport, on cargo heathrow doesn't even make the top ten. so although it may be big in uk terms, in world terms it isn't that big player. and this is what they are hoping to try to change. this is all about the opportunity cost of doing nothing. the government feels that if britain does nothing, if a third runway is not added, if they don't expand

capacity by 50%, then trade will go elsewhere. we are not talking about a battle between the likes of heathrow and gatwick, we are talking about a battle between heathrow and charles de gaulle in paris for example. they are talking about other nations taking trade away and when you are looking at china for example, a big trading partnerfor the uk, they are currently building about 50 new airports which will come online many years before a new ru nway come online many years before a new runway could ever be built here. thank you very much. and we'll find out how the debate about the expansion of heathrow airport and other stories , are covered in tomorrow's front pages at the later time of 10:50 and 11:30 tonight, because of world cup coverage, in the papers. our guestsjoining me this evening are caroline wheeler, who's deputy political editor at the sunday times, and jessica elgot, political correspondent for the guardian. the government has refused to back a £1.3 billion tidal lagoon project in swansea bay on cost grounds. the company behind the scheme wanted

subsidies similar to those for new nuclear power to build the lagoon. announcement in the commons. the cost that would be incurred by consumers and taxpayers would be so much higher than alternative sources of low carbon power that it would be irresponsible to enter into a contract with the provider. securing our energy needs into the future has to be done seriously. and when much cheaper alternatives exist, no individual project and no particular technology can proceed any price, and that is true for all technologies. our correspondent sian lloyd has been getting reaction for us in swansea. it did come down to the money, the government said that the sums did not add up. it would have seen a sea wall stretching out across some swansea bay behind me first six miles in the shape of a horseshoe, and under the water huge turbines would have harnessed energy

from the ebb and flow of the tide. the company behind the project, tidal lagoon power, said it was intended as a pilot for the new technology with five bigger projects to follow. and 18 months ago an independent report commissioned by the uk government effectively gave tidal lagoon is a thumbs up saying that they could be cost—effective. and the welsh government had pledged £200 million towards building the swansea lagoon, but the decision rested with westminster and government there. this afternoon saying that it did not provide value for money. welsh assembly members and opposition mps here have been branding it a disgrace and also local people here in swansea saying they are disappointed, they hope a substantial tourism and leisure benefit would have come to this area from this lagoon. the headlines on bbc news: the lead firefighter in the initial response to the grenfell fire says he wasn't trained how to evacuate people from a burning tower block. mps begin to debate whether to approve a third runway at heathrow airport. a decision is expected

later this evening. the government decides to reject a scheme to build a tidal power lagoon in swansea bay. an update on all the sports news. the final round of group b games at the world cup are under way. spain are taking on morocco and a draw will be enough to see the spaniards through. the african side are already out of the tournament. it is currently 1—1 in the second half and it was morocco who scored first. a bit of confusion from the spanish defenders meant morocco cut easily through to take the lead. then spain levelled it up. we are into the second half. you can watch that

game, those of the live pictures from bbc four. spain around a little pressure, you can watch that on bbc four. but the other group game is portugal against iran. a draw would be enough to see the portuguese through. iran would need a win. it is currently 1—0 to portugal in that game and while it was a moment of brilliance that put them ahead. that one coming from... look at that strike. they had just been awarded a penalty from portugal. believe it or not he missed a penalty. that game is on bbc one if you want to follow that. as it stands, portugal top that. as it stands, portugal top that group, a winner from that. as it stands, portugal top that group, a winnerfrom spain in the other game would change things and put them back on top. you can decide which of those games to follow and how to do the permutations on that. earlier in

groupa permutations on that. earlier in group a russia's impressive start to the world cup ended. they were beaten 3—0 by uruguay. the south american team went top of that group with the hosts going through to the last 16 as runners—up. drew savage watch the action. two wins have done russia the world of good, now hoping to make home advantage count but it was hot, 34 degrees in the shade, perhaps more suited to the latin americans. you're a cry struck first. suarez had helped though. look at the russian wall helpfully making space for a clear shot at goal. uruguay have a habit of responding to the big occasion. they doubled their lead thanks to another russian helping hand. in this case, helping foot. the difference in quality between the two sides started to show. after one man was sent off,

this was only going to end one way. both teams have the last 16 but you're quite going there on a high. 3-0 you're quite going there on a high. 3—0 in the you're quite going there on a high. 3-0 in the 90th you're quite going there on a high. 3—0 in the 90th minute. the other match in group a featured the two sides who were already eliminated, saudi arabia and egypt. it was a match notable for the appearance of the oldest player. he is 45 and saved a penalty. unfortunately for him he then let one in and egypt ended their campaign without a point and saudi arabia grabbed a winner. the last kick of the game. with wimbledonjust a the last kick of the game. with wimbledon just a week away andy murray has returned to winning ways. the former world number one is yet to confirm if he will play at the grand slam. he is continuing his return to tennis after 11 months out. he was at eastbourne today

where he won in the opening round. wawrinka who has also been struggling with injuries was second best with murray winning in straight sets for his first victory since last yea r‘s were well sets for his first victory since last year's were well done. qualifying for wimbledon has begun and dan evans is through the first round in straight sets. he needs two more wins to reach the main draw.|j missed tennis a lot when i was off. it was a difficult time. it is good to be out playing again especially in my favourite tournament of the year. without a doubt. it is good to be back on court. and that is all your sports for now. i will have lots more in sports day at half past ten. police injamaica are trying to determine the motive for killing a british couple living on the island. the bodies of charlie and gayle anderson, who were both in their 70s, were discovered on friday by neighbours.

they had recently retired to the caribbean from manchester, danny savage has more. gayle and charlie anderson, both in their 70s, both murdered in their home injamaica where they had retired to a few months ago. they were found dead by neighbours in their home in mount pleasant on friday afternoon. the bodies were observed to have wounds to the neck and face. however, we are not able to say at this time what could have caused those injuries. until a few months ago they had lived in this street in manchester, but friends say mrs anderson returned to the uk recently to sort out a money problem. a large amount had been fraudulently taken from their credit card in jamaica. although it is not clear if that has anything to do with the double murder. if you asked them for help they would go out of their way. former neighbours told us how immensely popular the couple were and how they would always try and help others. he's been going to local tips, him and his wife, doing bikes up

for the kids injamaica. and taking school books, clothes. just really, really nice people. their family says charlie and gayle were happily married for 55 years in a statement, their two sons said they were hard—working people, the murder rate in parts ofjamaica is very high. a major investigation is now under way to solve this crime. danny savage, bbc news, manchester. the business secretary says that airbus should be listened to "with respect" — after a fellow cabinet minister criticised the firm for its intervention on brexit. on sundayjeremy hunt said that the aerospace company had made "inappropriate" threats after it issued a warning about brexit. but in the commons greg clark said that the views of business leaders are important and should be heard. the duke of cambridge has become

the first member of the royal family to make an official visit to israel. he landed in tel aviv earlier, before heading to jerusalem. his four—day trip to the region will include a visit to the occupied palestinian territories. it's officially been the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures hitting 29.4 celsius in central london earlier. and the heatwave is set to continue with temperatures in some places higher than in athens or miami. sima kotecha reports from birmingham. voiceover: digging is hard work but even harder in this heat, and the ice is very welcome to cool off. it's good for us, because we sell lots of ice cream! and the faces light up on the children, when they get the ice cream. after a week of sunshine, the momentum is set to continue, some places in the south are expected to reach nearly 30 celsius, making it hotter than athens and los angeles. it's nice to be able to come out

instead of being stuck in the house, and the options of what you can do, there's a lot more that you can do when the weather is nice. in other parts of england and wales, it should be between 24 and 27 celsius, if you suffer from hay fever, you may be in for a difficult week. as we approach the end of the school year, more children are out and about in parks like this one, and that's why the advice issued by public health england is even more crucial. three key things we can all do to stay well are keeping cool, keeping your house cool, and keeping hydrated. on top of that, look out for people who may be vulnerable to hot weather, the elderly, people with long—term health conditions such as heart and lung problems, and young children who are less able to look after their own temperatures. we are told warm weather is here to stay at least until the end ofjune, and forecasters believe we could be

looking at similar conditions continuing into the start of next month. i'm joined now by luca notarianni — owner of notarianni ice cream parlour in blackpool. thank you for staying open for us. how has business been? it has been really busy as you can imagine with the weather. it has been nonstop today. we have been all at it working hard. my sister stayed late as well. what sort of mix of business do you get? the school holidays have not yet started, it is the beginning of the working week. do you still get a lot of casual trade? we are really lucky. this is our 90th year and black ball so we have a good core trade of local customers as well as holiday—makers. you find you're busy period is

around three o'clock when the schools are finishing and five o'clock when people are finishing work. we are just of the promenade as well so we have a lot of families and people coming for an ice cream and people coming for an ice cream and a nice walk down the prom. you have one flavour only, when you produce yourselves. you can have any flavour you want as long as it is manila! it is a secret family recipe handed down through four generations of my family, so we just keep doing what we are doing, what we know weeks and we are lucky that people love it. and is there a preference for p how people have it? the hotter it is the quicker it will melt. we do all different sorts of ice creams. we only do the one flavour but you can have it in many forms. sundays, milkshakes, waffle cones, posters, nuggets, what you fancy. so

you don't have to get it all over your fingers! we have serviettes just in case. how quick with temperatures coming up to 30 degrees, will people have to do eat it? pretty quick in this weather, but we are quite good at keeping the ice cream at controlled temperature to make sure our product is at its best form. it will get very hot as the week goes on. blackpool will look spectacular at this time of year. it is beautiful. as you keep up year. it is beautiful. as you keep up with demand? it is a lot of pressure for you as a family. we have 90 years of knowledge passed down through our family, so we know what we are doing, we have all our ice cream made fresh on the premises every day, all our milk and butter sourced locally... so if you get a surge in demand you can actually get the basic ingredients quickly. we

make it fresh every day on site so we are make it fresh every day on site so we a re pretty make it fresh every day on site so we are pretty good at keeping up with demand. does that mean on a quiet day it is all down to you in the family to finish it off? yes, we ta ke the family to finish it off? yes, we take it home and eat it all. so you are proof that eating ice cream is good for you. my dad's belly would prove that as well! thank you very much. an absolute pleasure. fingers crossed you have a successful week with this weather. now the weather. those who booked a week of week this week probably feeling pretty chuffed as it is set to stay as it started. blue skies overhead the vast majority. strong sunshine and feeling particularly hot. the good news is it isn't particularly humid, and night is still fairly co mforta ble. and night is still fairly comfortable. tonight we will see

some low cloud returned to eastern scotla nd some low cloud returned to eastern scotland and england. temperatures down into single figures as we will see in the countryside. in city centres holding in the teens. lots of sunshine and ahead of the many. a bit graver sum, eastern coast of scotla nd bit graver sum, eastern coast of scotland any sense in england. the sun is so strong that the cloud doesn't make much in road. an outside chance of a and northern ireland. a woman day across the far north of scotland. the heat and the sunshine for many continue. this is bbc news, our latest headlines. the lead firefighter in the initial response to the grenfell fire says he wasn't trained how to evacuate people from a burning tower block. as a commander i, i can't remember any time that i'd actually... actually been on a training course that would... would facilitate that.

mps begin to debate whether to approve a third runway at heathrow airport. a decision is expected later this evening. the government decides to reject a scheme to build a tidal power lagoon in swansea bay. and britain swelters on the hottest day of the year so far. temperatures in some places topped athens and miami. back now to the future of london's heathrow airport. mps are currently debating whether or not to approve controversial plans to build a third runway. the conservatives have been ordered to support the expansion — but labour is opposed to the scheme. let's take a listen to some of the debate. my my message to the house, it is important. i believe that this is a project that is in the strategic interest of the nation. prosperity for all areas of this country, i

feel it'll satisfy the post brexit raw. i believe it is essentialfor thejobs raw. i believe it is essentialfor the jobs that will create, the connections it will bring, we have to deliver it, anyway that utterly does the best that it can, we will does the best that it can, we will do that, we will ensure tight rules. and in the run—up to today's vote, it will be enshrined in law and delivered into the future. this is a project that this country needs, it has been delayed for far too long. we have to take a decision today and iurge we have to take a decision today and i urge you to do so. consistently demonstrated poor judgement and i urge you to do so. consistently demonstrated poorjudgement and a reliance on an incomplete, unreliable and nonexistent evidence. he stands here today and expects the house to take his word for it, to ta ke house to take his word for it, to take a leap of faith with him. labour has been very clear that we

will only support airport expansion if the very specific provisions of our forecasts are met. we are not against expansion, we are against this as presented. the northwest ru nway this as presented. the northwest runway is too risky and may be illegal. there are simply too many holes in the case. too many for the taxpayer and any future government. iam also taxpayer and any future government. i am also surprised to be resigned from the government as i advise been led to believe that this would be a free vote. however, i always knew that i would vote against this proposal. for me in particular, i made an unequivocal pledge at the 2017 general election. i will be voting against the proposal when it comes before parliament expected later this year. greg is against the third runway and will vote against it in parliament. so this is not

just for me, a debate about it, important as it is, it is also a debate about being true to your word and to your election pledges. we have been better at infrastructure over the past few years. we're about to see the opening of the wind whistled mceachern in this difference and will also make a tremendous difference to to the airport as well. i think that is something that has been long—term plan, long overdue and i believe that this is the right scheme to go forward. we don't even know what the infrastructure plan is for the area. and last time, the infrastructure plan included a road through my local cemetery. we were meant to disinter the dead to allow access to

the plan. no wonder my constituents are angry about this. the third defining point, does this house stand up for people and communities? especially working class communities? or does it stand up to protect the interest of a corporate cartel that has ripped us off for decades? asked how much? , which i would respect the honourable member if they accepted... our transport correspondent victoria fritz is at heathrow. with the contributions to the debate. you might as you can imagine that, though constituents that would be in affected, the noise, the pollution, it has been dominated by

them, and they‘ re pollution, it has been dominated by them, and they're talking about the thousands of constituents that would have to be moved, the schools that would be demolished. so not surprisingly pretty emotional stuff. of course, the constituency in southwest london could be affected by all this, that's why they're against us, some people say it was not in my backyard. we're talking about a million people in london at the very least, and the presence in the very least, and the presence in the numbers could escalate you magically. also based on the wider national interests. it is very striking in the debate, the number of people in the regions who were accepted that actually thought the expansion was not in their interest. lobbying that they can expand, clearly we need an expansion, but they can do it on a point direct flights to its market cities in

asia, and actually heathrow would disadvantage and set back the regions. and the enormous costs that will fall on the taxpayer, which is operating this, heathrow, false belly up is it could well do. and who has to cover the cost of the infrastructure? as much as 15 billion, to transport, that's all going to the taxpayer. and the government is extremely vague about all these complex and massive financial implications, will be handled. do you accept the need for more airport capacity for the southeast? i accept the need for airport expansion, but i am less certain about the southeast, but if we did have that an expansion in the southeast, i think there's several, it would be sensible to do this spread amongst the different airports like gatwick and others.

but i think regional airports, if properly given incentives could do the job. you talk about the cost of this, they have said that this is not going to follow the taxpayer, that there won't be any cost to the taxpayer. who's going to pay? you ta ke taxpayer. who's going to pay? you take the cost of the infrastructure that's going to be required to get oi'i that's going to be required to get on the roads, who's going to pay for? private investors aren't going to cover for it. they said they will only come up with 1 billion, to cover for it. they said they will only come up with1 billion, so to cover for it. they said they will only come up with 1 billion, so who will pay for the rest? it isjust left completely unclear, and the airport itself is very fragile, they been reducing the amount of shareholder cash, racking up their debt and they are a very fragile company and if anything goes wrong with them, like with the carillion experience, they will either be paid

by the taxpayer or by an massive increase, heathrow expansion, they're going to have to pay for most of the tab. when it comes to pollution, the argument against that is to say that modern development with aircraft, means that the noise won't be as great as it was and it will be cleaner jets won't be as great as it was and it will be cleanerjets so actually thatis will be cleanerjets so actually that is not going to be an issue and the next two years. it is going to be an issue in the next two years, evenif be an issue in the next two years, even if you take these very optimistic projections and, i want to see the aerospace industry progress, but the whole of the existing generation of aircraft have to be used. were talking about decades ahead, before people on the ground experience less noise because we have better air crafts. the pollution effects are very serious and they will increasingly be

replaced with concerns of the carbon dioxide, and as of yet, we have no answer to that. why do you think the government is pressing ahead with that? behind the heathrow expansion? there is a very powerful heathrow lobby and there are some regional airports that seek to expand, a very powerful corporate interests to expand, the business lobbyists have been pushing forward and there is able to element of prestige and all this. this stake of reputation on it. and despite the mounting evidence that this is a great idea. not being kept an eye to register his disapproval of this project. not being kept an eye to register his disapproval of this projectm is disgraceful, because we had craig, who was one of his colleagues that had the integrity to honour the promises he made to his electorate and has stood down from government, he was clearly enjoying it, but it wasn't compatible with this

opposition to heathrow, where is borisjohnson is trying opposition to heathrow, where is boris johnson is trying to opposition to heathrow, where is borisjohnson is trying to have his ca ke borisjohnson is trying to have his cake and eat it. thank you very much indeed. so that debate will be going on until ten o'clock tonight and then the vote, which the government is pretty confident it will went. rescue divers in thailand are searching for a group of children believed to have been trapped in a flooded cave in the north of the country since saturday. twelve children aged between 11 and 16 together with their football coach were exploring inside the cave's narrow tunnels when a section near the main entrance was flooded. their desperate parents have gathered outside the cave as jonathan head reports. time there battling a strong occurrence deepwater in the cave complex as they try to find the missing boys. but they have still not made contact with them. they

we re not made contact with them. they were reported missing on saturday, after a football practise. their bicycles were found left close to the cave entrance. and the boys posted this photo on facebook. taken just before they went down. the complex stretches from many miles, and they have not been able to reach the furthest case, that's what the party is to be trapped. their families have been coming to the caves to wait for news. so far they have reached the largest of the underground chambers, and they have reached the largest of the underground chambers, and they estimate they handprints on the wall. this area is well—known to the cave, and a popular area to the dry season. with heavy monsoon rains falling to her already for several weeks, going deep into the caves now was a risky thing to do. the first detailed figures on the number of students in higher education who have

taken their own lives have been published. they reveal that suicide rates among students are higher than they were a decade ago with the number of young men taking their own lives higher than that of women. 95 students took their own lives between july 2016 and july 2017. but the student suicide rates are lower than those for the general population. chi chi izundu reports. since the 1950s there hasn't been robust data into student suicides. but the office for national statistics and the higher education statistics agency have worked together to find out the rates for those specifically in higher education. in the last 12 months leading up tojuly 2017, 95 students took their own lives in england and wales. the report found that in the last ten years the rate of suicide among students has increased slightly but overall the numbers dying by suicide is lower than the national average of the same age. we believe that every student suicide is at some point preventable.

and we are asking universities to step up to prioritise this and to work with us to help prevent these deaths. in the last year before i went to uni i began to struggle more with depression. in herfirst year, 20—year—old rebecca struggled with her mental health at university and tried to take her own life. she now wants more to be done to help support students just like her. i still do think universities could do more especially for people who have got more longer term mental health difficulties that are not just caused by a sudden event and can kind of be fixed quite quickly. the report which looked at death certificates and the verdicts given at inquests, also found that suicides amongst male students was higher than female. with half of all young people now going to university, the charity student mind says the the onus of help and support should notjust be on the nhs. we see that move towards a whole university approach where everybody from the front line cleaners

through to academics through to students themselves feel they are better equipped with the knowledge and confidence and skills to support their own mental health and support others. the number of students disclosing mental health problems has increased fivefold in a decade as has the call for universities to work more actively to help prevent suicides. if you would like information regarding issues raised by that report, you can go to bbc.co.uk/actionline, or call for free to hear recorded information on 08000155 998. just to tell you about something we have happening tomorrow — we'll begin special coverage of the nhs, ahead of its 70th birthday. we'll be hearing from the experts, people who've worked for it and been treated by it, over the next few days. send us your questions about the nhs —

london's and frankfurt ended the day. the royal observatory at greenwich, the traditional home of british astronomy, is to start studying the night sky once more. the observatory, which was founded more than 350 years ago, stopped work in the 1950s, due to urban smog and light pollution. but cleaner air and a major restoration of its telescopes means they can be used again. as laura foster reports. spectacular pictures taken by london's newest telescopes is the first time in more than six decades that astronomers have been able to study space from greenwich. but why is it taken so long? the latest weapon devised to combat smog, which

killed 4000 londoners in a single week. it's because of london's smog, visibility was still bad, that they had to move it to the countryside. because of technology, they cannot get a —— can now get around that problem. if you're looking at something bright like the moon of the planets, they are far brighter than any street lamps, so that is ok for us to look at, when it comes to very think gas clouds in space, we have special filters so that we can specifically pinpoint what we want to look at. the telescope is made up of four different lenses, each to study different aspects of space. been named after a pioneer scientists specialised in taking photographs of eclipses. but despite the key discoveries, she never got the key discoveries, she never got the recognition she deserved when

she was alive. that's because she was a woman. all the challenges faced by women in victorian science. she was not awarded her degree even though she successfully completed the exams. she struggled to publish in herown name the exams. she struggled to publish in her own name and she was denied membership of the society despite having recognition of her colleagues. and then finally, it was a case that she had to resign her post when she married, because under civil service rules of the time, she wasn't allowed to continue as a married woman. the aim, to inspire a whole new generation of scientists. videos that have been downloaded or streamed online, as well as audio downloads, and sales of cd and vinyl. tracks can often have billions of views on websites such as youtube, but until now that's not counted towards the song's position in the chart. lizo mzimba reports. this week's number one single, solo, by clean bandit and demi lovato. its chart position was calculated

using the formula that combines the number of times the song has been bought with the number of times it has been streamed, through audio services such as spotify. but online video sites have become one of the main ways that young people in particular consume music. the video for despocito has been viewed more than five billion times. so now, the weekly charts will also take into account how often a song's music video is watched on platforms like youtube. like many acts, chart—topping synth pop group years and years put a huge amount of effort and creativity into their videos. they've welcomed the new move. so many people nowjust, you know, watch streaming sites, watch videos online as a way to kind of engage with the music of the artist, some people just watch the video, they're not even aware

of the song separate from it. so i think it's definitely about time. it's all the result of months of research by the official charts company, they say it's not likely to result in huge changes to chart positions but that it's important that the system evolves. what we have seen is, this will make an adjustment, it will reflect consumption that has not previously been reflected. you will not see records that have previously never been in the charts being in the top ten, what you will see is certain records being higher because they are particularly strong on video. the new rules come into effect from today, with the official charts company keen that their weekly charts reflect a song's popularity as accurately as possible, however it is being accessed by fans. now — what has 13 sides, a hole in the roof and has suddenly appeared in a car park in york?

the answer? europe's first full—sized pop up sha kespearian theatre. the rose theatre opens today, and our entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been to see it. in much ado about nothing, shakespeare wrote, would my horse had the speed of your tongue. well, what would he have made of the speed of this? in three weeks, a car park right in the centre of york, turned into a full—sized pop—up shakespearean theatre, the first ever in europe. and it was all the idea of one man. someone said, oh, pop—up, i thought it would be inflatable. i was like, no, it's not inflatable. there were a number of elizabethan theatres, all different shapes, bizarrely, and why wouldn't there be? people were trying out new things. theatre was in its infancy then. if they came here today, they'd recognise it. they'd go, it's just the same. what's this stuff? you used scaffolding, we used oak and you're using something else! but they would recognise inside, and they would say, you are using flying, we used flying! they'd recognise trap doors. the whole enterprise is costing around £3 million

without any subsidies. 660 people can be seated with another 300 standing, exposed to the elements. it's incredibly exciting to be in it and it is very intimate on the stage. it feels like being you are embraced by the audience. no—one is more than 15 metres away, which is very special. it is being called a pop—up. it didn't pop up. this was like so much effort, gargantuan work and design. it has worked and paid off. and in the back, a pop—up costume room in use for both macbeth and a midsummer night's dream. these are the costumes for two of them. they are for two of them. don't want them getting confused. we do not want lady macbeth coming on as half a fairy, do we? how has the fact you've got this shakespearean theatre influenced you ? massively. you have to be very robust in your design and design decisions. you have to be very bold and committed.

and look how bold and committed i was to this costume. this is a strong look. that's a strong look. so, finally, did shakespeare actually ever make it to york? we know his troupe did, but there's no historical records that he got here, but we think he did. the inference is that if his troupe did, he came with them, but he did not sign any graffiti saying, will was here. but now it is shakespeare in york all summer—long. now, how would you celebrate turning one hundred and two? with an indoor skydive perhaps ? that's what adrenaline—junkie eva lewis decided to do. the great—grandmother was joined by three generations of herfamily for the big day, who watched as she flew several metres high in winds of over one hundred miles per hour. eva is no stranger to thrill—seeking, last year she celebrated her one hundred and first birthday with an acrobatic flight on a spitfire.

time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. very few of you will escape the blue skies, but you want to escape the heat, probably the coast is the best bet. breeze is developing making things a bit more comfortable at times. temperatures of 29, to 30 degrees in central london. we'll see auk degrees in central london. we'll see a uk hotspot today. things that are dry, settled and warm, that's because we've got to the southeast, will get the than the moment. with the jet stream is configured means there'll be big areas of high pressure set up, not moving anywhere, things gradually warming up anywhere, things gradually warming up day by day. not desperately humid, that is the good news, so why

risk of flooding, gusty winds, but it feels cool by comparison. in western europe, and that brings us into wednesday, like tuesday, willis isa into wednesday, like tuesday, willis is a mist and low cloud on the eastern coast, and will breeze towards counties of england where temperatures will not be quite a sight towards the coast, but further north it gets warmer. a few spots, plus the 29 or 30 degrees, much more co mforta ble plus the 29 or 30 degrees, much more comfortable much more pleasant towards those eastern coasts. temperatures on the understand friday, and scotland has some the hottest conditions, into the weekend. objective take on the world at 1040 the hello, i'm ros atkins — this is outside source. president erdogan is about to become a lot more powerful after declaring victory in the turkish presidential election. independent observers say they were unequal.
