morning resumed this morning after emergency services were called last night to reports that three youngsters were in difficulty in the water. two of the children are safe and well. the third is still missing. it is very difficult for us all. we are fathers, we are mothers. this impacts on us and the local area, and we are doing all we canjust to work with that family just to reassure them and give them any type of comfort. in surrey, the body of a man was recovered from a lake in nuts field. the message from police is not to swim in open water. further north, a large wildfire has left a pall of smoke hanging over large parts of greater manchester. it has been burning since sunday. people living close to the blaze on saddleworth moor are being told to keep their windows closed as firefighters try and contain it. the heat has slowed trains down, too. network rail says track temperatures could reach as much as 20 celsius above the air

temperature, meaning the steel rails can expand and buckle. the reduced speeds are intended to lower the force exerted on the track, reducing the risk of problems. but when it comes to the hottest weather this week, west is best. day—trippers we re week, west is best. day—trippers were lapping it up in blackpool this afternoon, with blue skies, blue sea and tranquil conditions. summer is here for a good few days yet. and that weather warning which is in place applies to the north of england, if the temperature is 30 degrees or more for two days running and 15 at night. meanwhile people here at paddling enjoying the weather while it lasts. jane. thank you, danny. let's get all those details wherever you are in the country. here's ben rich. thank you. yesterday's highest temperature was in london, 30 degrees. today we are nudging that

heat a little bit further west, and then as we get on into tomorrow and indeed thursday, parts of northern ireland and scotland could get very close to 30 degrees, unusual to see temperatures this high so far north at this time of year. high pressure still in charge but drifting subtly northwards, and that will allow the flow of wind around that area of high pressure to essentially scoop up high pressure to essentially scoop up some of the walk from the south and take it northwards over the next couple of days. here is a look at the satellite picture. we have had quite a lot of cloud on the eastern coast, and some extra cloud has been drifting, there is the chance that could squeeze out the odd shower, but generally a fine afternoon with those finishing temperatures at around 28, 20 those finishing temperatures at around 28,20 9 degrees, those finishing temperatures at around 28, 20 9 degrees, maybe parts of the west midlands and eastern wales could get to 30. clear skies tonight, but this cloud will come back inland again, so parts of the

east will see some rather murky conditions to start tomorrow. starting today at ii—ilid, and then through the day tomorrow, we do it allagain, through the day tomorrow, we do it all again, most of us enjoying hot sunshine, but remember that cloudy start for eastern coastal areas, much of that will burn back out to see i suspect, but if you're heading to the east coast, some patches of low cloud and fog could linger, and notice the yellow shading on our temperature chart, all the way down the eastern coastal strip. temperatures will be a little lower than they will be further inland and further west. so let's take a look at some forecasts. along the east coast, those temperatures are little suppressed, not a write—off at all, but there will be some patches of fog and cloud around at times. elsewhere much of scotland, northern ireland and northern england in good temperatures. further south, the heat goes on, long spells of sunshine and again temperatures into the high 20s, perhaps 30 degrees.

the things change? they change a bit as we go into the weekend, this area of low pressure drifting up from the south brings the risk of some thunderstorms. ben rich, thank you very much. and thatis ben rich, thank you very much. and that is all from all of us here on the bbc news. and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. an update from the england world cup camp in russia first, as dele alli is back in full training with the squad, after missing the win over panama with a thigh strain. ruben loftus cheek came in for the spurs midfielder in the 6—1 victory, and alli may find it difficult to get back into gareth southgate's starting 11 given the performance of loftus cheek and co on sunday. two more world cup qualifying groups will be settled today — and will var play a major part in those too? it certainly did in group b yesterday, with controversy

in the games involving portugal and spain. in portugals draw with iran, cristiano ronaldo had already missed a penalty which was given thanks to var when he was nearly sent off for what looked like an elbow. and then in last few minutes, iran were given a really contentious penalty after the referee consulted with the video assistant referee too. 1—1 that one finished. but they came second in their group because spain scored in injury time against morocco. it was disallowed. then var was consulted, and iago aspas's great flick was given. the final score 2—2 and spain will play russia in the knockouts while portugal have the tougher test against uruguay. well to today's games now and all the attention will be on argentina this evening and of course their little man, lionel messi. they take on nigeria in st petersburg, and john bennett is there for us.

whatever happens it's going to be a big storyjohn? argentina's world cup could end here in few hours' time. they are up against it. they have to wind only hope the other result in no group goes their way. they need a favour from croatia. it has not been a good world cup at all for them. a draw against iceland when their won had about 11 shots and he also had a penalty saved. it was an awful day for him and then it got even worse against croatia, losing by three goals to nil and messi was really out of sorts. we only had about 49 touches. the average is about a year again when he plays the barcelona. argentina really looking to kick—start their world cup today against nigeria.

he does not look happy man. how the feeling. they won their last game, didn't i? they did. two goals to nil. the leicester city attacker. they start of the tournament very poorly but change information on the second game against iceland and that led to a massive improvement. should bea led to a massive improvement. should be a fantastic game. thank you. you may get your first win and build the momentum and first two wins, qualifiers are now we've got belgium. but that's what the game we wa nt to belgium. but that's what the game we want to be playing in. how much of the scene of the scenes

back home? there is a big heatwave going on in the uk is big celebrations connected with what you quys celebrations connected with what you guys are celebrations connected with what you guys are doing. yes. we know the ability we've got and we know how capable we can be and we know how capable we can be and how far we can go and we know, every outperforming, the fans will be happy as well. i've been getting all the snapshots from them as well so all the snapshots from them as well soi all the snapshots from them as well so i think they're enjoying themselves. as long as we're performing it's good. what have they been saying to you? just over the moon, really. a few friends coming out as well and my family as well so it has been a good start but we need to progress. we hear that england have been practising penalties and training and we have seen first—hand the games what it is like what is it like to face harry kane taking a penalty? he isa penalty? he is a top forward for starters and that his main game, finishing. but i was watching from my end of the goal and two penalties were top drawer

and two penalties were top drawer and he has been practising and practices everyday so we believe in him to finish them and put them away was no pressure. if he hits like that from goalkeeper‘s perspective, are they unsaleable? pretty much. you got to do a lot of guessing. the power behind it, both plans are exactly the same, really. what's not, really but when harry is finishing like that you have no chance. there has been submitted for you conceding two goals in two games but you're no chance of either of them. does that knocks the gloss of that tiny bit? a bit disappointing not to give a clean sheet but it is a team performance and six goals, five in the first half was an unbelievable performance. the defenders melodically clean sheets in the further we go in sheets win games and that is our mentality. it was a closed training session

today. nothing yet. the keeper is working on the belgian style of player and we've done our acute work. he is certain to make a few changes. does that make it difficult, from your perspective, because you don't know if you're going to be starting? no, not really. as a team game. there are 23 players and all 23 players in the squad are all fighting for the places and it is so tough to call who is going to play because the ability in the squad is unbelievable and that is what will ta ke unbelievable and that is what will take us as far as we can go. i don't know if you've seen the discussions about possibly it helping you to finish up runners—up in the group and possibly getting an easier run to the tournament if and when and hopefully you progress, you can avoid brazil, germany, sweden, in the quarterfinals if you were runners—up. what you make of that? 0ur mentality is to win every game we play and we want to win every

game and to feel like if we win every it just game and to feel like if we win every itjust gives building momentum to keep going in the tournament and we know belgians atop a pregnant need to be on a game to get the win and feel our squad in the camp we want to win every game we play so we look to that. if you do win this one do you accept it as step up? and i wonder whether you fear the expectation levels might grow? love impress —— you co m press might grow? love impress —— you compress a lot of people. the mental side of the game in our squad is unbelievable. we've faced world cup stars the top ten in the world and held around and played very good football, clean sheets as well. we are ready to face these big teams and we know how good we are and we know what to expect from ourselves. just going back to the tunisia game

and the penalty which are nearly got. before that you weren't quite sure which way you were going to die. can you tell us what was behind that? yes, obviously we do a bit of research on the penalties and the lad who scored it has never taken a penalty before so i was struggling where to go. if you look at the penalty game he has looked at me all the i couldn't dive too early and u nfortu nately i the i couldn't dive too early and unfortunately i didn't get there in the end but got a fingertip, whence the end but got a fingertip, whence the right way which is promising. you asked ashley to go over to the bench. like i say, we did research. he normally takes fermenting must been a bit scared but i did know he was going to go. i wasn't sure they had any research but, like you say, it was his first penalty. as you've already said, the managers a lwa ys as you've already said, the managers always said he will make changes. as the whole squad buying into that an understanding what he has got to do that or he will do that?

yes, i think so. like i said, the full squad here are playing football and want to play football and the starting 11 is never going to finish. people who come on, then you'd refreshed muscled gives an opportunity to talk up love lives to get minutes under the belt and then when called upon their fresh. if you weren't starting you'd be frustrating. how do you help those who are not starting. do talk about that? we all know where we are. as a team, it is all about the team. and we've just got to keep working, whoever starting, eve ryo ne to keep working, whoever starting, everyone is behind each other and for all supportive and i think that's what we've got a good standing mentality behind us what and togetherness is very good. going into the belgian game, does it feel a bit odd to that potentially, in tournaments, if you lose it helps? it isa helps? it is a bit different but, like i say, it is momentum and we want to keep that momentum going and our

mentality is to go and win every game we can and we don't think any other way. subconsciously, will that be difficult, though? no, like i say, our squad really does want to keep winning and winning and that will put us in good skip steps. doesn't matter who we're playing. we need to get as far as we can and to get the final we have to play these top teams and other way will have to play them so, clear them early on that i was going to be. presumably, the group, you plotted out potential routes. you know exactly what is on each side of draw. we know what side of the draw but like you say, we're focused on belgium and knowing the lads, we want to win this game and keep the momentum going. you had an animated conversation, i think, withjohn you had an animated conversation, i think, with john stones you had an animated conversation, i think, withjohn stones after the goal scored by panama. can you enlighten us a bit more about that conversation what that says about your mentality? yes. as defenders and goalkeepers we

don't want to concede and we don't like conceding. it was just the timing. iwasjust like conceding. it was just the timing. i wasjust asking, what happened. the line was a bitjagged but we do a lot of work on that in training. you seem we've scored six out of eight. in tournament football set plays a crucial. there has been a lot written about the specific work this one is doing on the training ground. can you explain a bit more on how diligent the preparations of the specific scenarios? we do all our training and at the end will do ten minutes. will always ready and on scenarios we make sure we're ready. what makes this england squad so, at the moment, exciting, happy playing good football. you've paid a number of

cup teams, england. what is it about the squad that is going so well at the moment?” what is it about the squad that is going so well at the moment? i think it is our togetherness and the mentality of us is unbelievable. but the football we're playing and freedom we've got and the game scenarios we've worked on in training and we know what we need to do to win games and defend games and keep a clean sheet. the quality of the opposition now steps up by ranking and reputation. belgian and then a last 16 game early last week. what you think that england need to do to make sure england need to do to make sure england beat those teams? what needs to be worked upon? 0ur style of football and the ability in the squad, i feel like we're right up there and training as a goalkeeper winnie get the likes of harry, and others, have a shot

against you, it's difficult. so is going to be difficult for the opposition. and our defence is very strong so throughout the team with what usability. it has a couple of weeks and now, anything different going on in the camp? how are you entertaining yourself? that must be a few little things going on in there that we don't know about? with auto routines going. we train every day. the support team with all the physios and everyone and eve ryo ne the physios and everyone and everyone is already there for us and downtime is managed as well. we get to see our families today after a game which is very good, the gaffer is very supportive of that and like you say, maybe a few games a fortnight. from the belgian can we have that they're not too concerned too much

about winning the game. how strange would it be facing attackers who would it be facing attackers who would not be to team to score against you? yes, world that is how they feel it will make my job yes, world that is how they feel it will make myjob easier they don't wa nt to will make myjob easier they don't want to scroll. but like you say, we're ready for them and we're ready to win the game as a group of lads and we want to finish top of the group. june how many belgian players scored against you in the premier league? you better know —— you know better than me. would you like to have been busier in the first two games are as a goalkeeper do want to be involved a bit more? i'm not sure... we will leave that england news conference for now. the latest businesses

start off that amazing figure. 94% of businesses, micro—businesses. how come? 0ver 94% of businesses, micro—businesses. how come? over 94% of micro—businesses in scotland made up this research that we have conducted. and it is fantastic to see such a contribution to the scottish economy. but what is driving this, do you think? it seems to me sometimes that, particularly with people of the younger generation, the idea of a job for life really is and what they're in too. they want to strike out on their rent. is that something that you have found ? it rent. is that something that you have found? it is certainly something that we find standard around each day but realistically what you just mentioned errors around for young people. they're looking for ambition and growth and is one biggest supporters of business in scotland we have recognised that we need to support businesses and their ambitions and we've got some tools to do that. but

it is not all great news on that front, is it? there's been some findings about impostor syndrome that a lot of women feel. 0ur micro—business index launched today give some quite stark outputs. a third of women businesses in scotland find they have experienced impostor syndrome which allows them or which they have doubts about their achievements but also have a fear that they would be found out to be a fraud within the business community. but how to combat that, then? by distilling some confidence. making them aware about what they need to did start the business up build their business. we do that through various bits and pieces that we have. we have business growth neighbours that the whole of the country which holds the spoke, topical events around cybercrime, social media, online banking, marketing. just to distil that confidence around how you can get

with the israeli president reuven rivlin, he spoke about that, and about what he hoped his visit would achieve. thank you for your warm welcome. it's my first visit to israel and i'm very much looking forward to getting to meet as many israelis as possible, and understand israeli history and israeli culture over the next few days. i had a very moving tour around yad vashem this morning that really taught me quite a lot more than i thought i already knew about the true horrors of what happened to thejews in the war. so i very much appreciated the time everyone gave to show me around the museum and i, like you, look forward to understanding lots about the region and about hoping that peace in the area can be achieved. how

so i'm very much looking forward to really absorbing and understanding the different issues, the different cultures, different religions, culminating in a visit which will be very symbolic, i think, and very interesting for me in the old city on thursday, which i'm very much looking forward to seeing, so thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather — here's ben rich. good afternoon. no shortage of weather to joke about at the moment because this heatwave is not only long—lasting. leaders becoming increasingly widespread as well. sunny skies again for a weather watcher in east sussex. yesterday we saw 30 degrees in london. today the heat edging just that bit further west. as we get deeper into the week

tomorrow and thursday, even parts of northern ireland and scotland are likely to approach 30 degrees. unusual to see temperatures as high so far north at this time of year. high pressure, then, still in charge. the fact is that the drifting its way northwards, allowing a feed of winds to scoop up, essentially, the warm from the south—east and take it into western and then eventually northern areas over the next couple of days. this is the satellite picture. this is how it looks at the moment. some extra cloud closed the eastern coast. this area of climbing across northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland is capable of bringing the odd shower. most places won't see one and then the sunshine those temperatures, maybe 30 degrees. strong sunshine of high uv levels, high pollen levels as well. during this evening and overnight most areas will stick with clear sky and some misty murky conditions as well. is that wednesday morning around 11

-14 is that wednesday morning around 11 — 14 degrees. as we go through the day it is once again a story of pete and sunshine but closer some of these eastern coast of areas will start grey and murky much of that will burn back—up to see through the day there is just the chances of this fog and low would slap onto some of the east coast beaches from time to time and also notice the yellow colours here and our temperature chart. it is going to be a little bit cooler coast of east coast. further west by contrast the deep oranges once again some real key to be had. so a few are heading to these ghosts don't think a com plete to these ghosts don't think a co m plete of to these ghosts don't think a complete of the will be some brightness mist and fog cloud times and some suppressed temperatures as well. elsewhere across scotland, northern ireland, northern england, will be well into the 20s, even 30 degrees possible for aviemore tomorrow and further south that he just keeps on coming. long spells, strong sunshine and temperatures easily in the high 20s, perhaps even 30 degrees. a bit of a change for

the weekend. the theory of low pressure showed signs retreating northwards and while there is some uncertainty about the timing, does look like this area of low pressure could drift into the scene, bringing the risk of some thunderstorms. we will seize on sunny spells. it more humid with the risk of some thunderstorms later. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 2. if you want to maintain influence with washington and nato you need to spend more money — mps call on the government to dramatically increase the uk's defence budget. there is a real concern expressed by the united states, who spend much more than any of the rest of europe on their collective defence and want europe to bear its fair share. prince william meets the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu — on the third day of his tour of the middle east. i, like you, look forward to understanding lots about the region and about hoping that peace in the area can be achieved. two men are killed, including a bus driver,
