the ft reports on online retail giant amazon, which has declared its intention to move into us healthcare business by acquiring an online pharmacy group that delivers prescription drugs to people's homes. usa today looks at the world cup and how england deliberately lost in a 1—0 defeat to belgium because such a result would provide a far easier potential path to world cup glory. and finally japan have also come under fire for their world cup playing tactics. the sun newspaper claims, despite losing 1—0 at the time, japan knew they would progress at senegal‘s expense despite having the same number of points, same goal difference and goals scored. with me is annamarie phelps, who's vice—chair of the british olympic association. thanks thejoining

thanks the joining us. thanks thejoining us. let's thanks the joining us. let's start with the new york times‘ take thanks the joining us. let‘s start with the new york times‘ take on this latest shooting, another shooting but targeting a media organisation, obviously from our perspective as well, adds a certain piquancy to another fatal attack. perspective as well, adds a certain piquancy to another fatal attackm is, it‘s very sad, and what comes gci’oss is, it‘s very sad, and what comes across in the early reports are the number of people from different backgrounds and the whole community is affected by this, so it‘s really serious. what‘s interesting is there is so much speculation around it and, as faras is so much speculation around it and, as far as we know, ramos himself has not said why he did this, so we are speculating about causes. there is a clear suggestion he had a particular gripe against the paper. that‘s something that‘s been picked up by some online media channels as well, so they‘ve got an idea. certainly. we keep talking about it being a long—standing feud, but we are talking about going back six, seven years. this was 2011 when they reported on him in a stalking
5:47 am
incident, something like that, and he has since filed a suit for defamation against the paper. we will see where that goes. there‘s one line the new york times had as a quote, which was a reporter in the office saying, " there‘s quote, which was a reporter in the office saying, "there‘s nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot when you are under your desk, then hearing the gunman reload". we get so many of these cases to report on and they are all different, but when you get that clarity of picture in your mind, it‘s an appreciation of what people go through. absolutely. they human nature of it is awful. the daily telegraph, the head of the nhs here saying they must do more, the nhs, to help young people‘s mental healthcare, putting a lot of the focus on the world we live in, the facebook generation. it is, and i think it‘s right. we all know mental healthcare is a huge and growing issue. the story rather pinpointed salted social media, —— pinpoints it
5:48 am
all to social media, and we need a bit of balance, and it‘s right to be reactive and find a way to deal with it, but we should also be proactive about it. what are the young pressures on young people and how can we avoid them getting to this point? you are a school governor, aren‘t you? is this a focus you find at your school, and in which case, what do you do? increasingly we are aware of it, and some of it is that we are more aware 110w aware of it, and some of it is that we are more aware now than ever before, and understanding the prevalence of mental health issues among young people is a great step forward. we‘ve started to normalise the discussion about it and we are trying to support kids who have those things but actually we need a proactive strategy to stop them getting into that situation. does it help? i know there‘s a discussion about banning mobile phones from classrooms, for example, or even, from the moment you walk through the gates, you can‘t use it to you step out again. is that something your
5:49 am
school could countenance? we do put quite a lot of restrictions on the use of phones in school, but it‘s not just about mobile use of phones in school, but it‘s notjust about mobile phones and not about bullying on social media. children are expos to all sorts of things we were not exposed to growing up. we had news 2a hours a day, the worry of getting a job when they get out there, everyone‘s expectations to a lot of people getting a university level education. the pressure is very different. there are some real issues around social media, and let‘s not forget i shall media‘s responsibility for some of their bad behaviours of adults as well that are affecting children in child abuse cases and some of these paedophile rings and things. it does have a place but i think there are some wider issues, too, out there. it is the awareness that there is that amount of areas we know things are going wrong in. the financial times with that story — there is no end to amazon. they are going to be
5:50 am
providing all of our dispensing services for medicines. it is incredible, isn‘t it? it says they already have $4 in every $10 spent online in the states, so that‘s really going to make it a fundamental part of people‘s lives. i think it can only be a good thing to provide more competition and drive down the cost. in the states, healthcare is really expensive. there‘s a certain irony because donald trump cannot stand jeff bezos, we understand, they don‘t see i‘d die, and here he is doing what he wants him to do. edson lupi. there was a story about al in the medical industry, and that conversation about artificial intelligence to diagnose and support people in remote areas. with this together, it could begin to support a lot of people. there's the other side. $4 in $10 is spent on amazon.
5:51 am
that‘s going to go up to $5 now when you think how much people use the medical facilities! you think how much people use the medicalfacilities! there has to be a point at which — that is slightly terrifying, isn‘t it? one organisation monopolising our whole buying market. i don't think it's healthy for the markets at all. we will see where that one goes. a bit of sport for you, a bit of world cup. what a headline, usa today. worth noting the americans are not in the world cup finals. belgian beating england but both teams trying to lose. you watched the match. i don't think anyone wants to lose a match. any athlete or football player, anyone who has been training for something like this angle dashed this is the pinnacle of their career. they are not going to go out and try and lose. but they are going to go and try to follow instructions, which to a certain extent instructions, which to a certain exte nt ca n instructions, which to a certain extent can be the same thing. i want to touch on japan extent can be the same thing. i want to touch onjapan in a moment but
5:52 am
both these sites could see a reason not to top their group because they get any easier run through to the final. we don't want to believe that, do we? i don‘t believe gareth southgate wants his team to come away with a loss. they want to build momentum, be positive, go in confident. let me challenge you then. why didn‘t they bring harry kane, the most lethal striker on the planet at the moment, to save that game? he needed to give the other players an opportunity, too. they need to test things. they knew they didn‘t have to go all out to try and win things, they knew they were safe, but the players on the pitch won‘t have wanted to lose. they‘ve got dignity. absolutely right, but i‘m going to bring in the sun, and the guardian has the same story, japan‘s position. japan were losing to poland. poland were out, japan we re to poland. poland were out, japan were losing 1—0, but they knew, if it stayed 1—0 and they didn‘t get
5:53 am
any more yellow cards, they would go through, and the end of that game was desperate because they were not going to do anything, and the poles we re going to do anything, and the poles were not bothered. this reminds me of the badminton game in rio when the players were hitting the shuttlecock of the court. this was a bit more obvious, trying not to win the match. you know, i think there are things that fifa probably should look at try and make sure that this doesn‘t — it‘s not fair on the fans. they‘ve paid a lot of money to go there, and for their tickets, they wa nt to there, and for their tickets, they want to see a good match, and for senegal, it was out of their hands. we have games like that in the premier league sometimes, you know, where the result of another match will depend on whether somebody‘s relegated. true, true. and i think, because it‘s a group stage moving into a knockout stage, the opportunity for that — i think france denmark was a similar turgid
5:54 am
affair, wasn‘t it? we put that out isa affair, wasn‘t it? we put that out is a question today, and we‘ve had a whole variety of ideas as to what might be done from rock, paper, scissors, which i don‘t think is the a nswer eve ryo ne scissors, which i don‘t think is the answer everyone will accept... even answer everyone will accept... even a penalty shootout between those sides. is there a solution, do you think? i quite like the solution they‘ve come up to with the cars because there‘s so much talk in this country about whether the result should be the only thing we look at. we all talk about this pressure on medals and performance, and actually finding a way to reward people and players are having a good match, for making the process good, for not cheating, not throwing yourself on the floor, is great. some of the earlier matches were terrible. yellow cards — worth it then. thank you very much for running through the papers. hello there.
5:55 am
on thursday, all four nations of the uk recorded a temperature above 30 degrees, so can we keep that up through the next few days? well, it is going to stayjust about dry, there‘ll be some sunshine around, but northern areas are going to turn just a little bit cooler. high pressure still with us, but it is drifting northwards. the flow of winds around high pressure in this clockwise direction, and that will allow us to tap into some slightly cooler air, sitting a long way up to the north, but some of that is just going to try to fringe its way in towards parts of scotland in particular. with that, some extra cloud into eastern areas as we start off friday morning. still mild, though, in glasgow to start the day, 15 degrees, similar temperature in london. as we go on through the day, some of this cloud will linger close to these eastern coasts. whereas over the last few days, it has burnt back out to sea, i think we will see a bit more cloud encroaching into these eastern areas. as a consequence, it will be cooler. scotland generally a little bit less hot than it has been over the last day or so, so 26 degrees in glasgow on friday afternoon. further south, those temperatures
5:56 am
still up into the high 20s. parts of wales, perhaps the western side of northern ireland, could still get up to 30 degrees. now, we go through friday night, and we‘re going to bring that cloud in eastern areas a little bit further west. it‘ll spread across parts of the midlands, northern england. clear skies out west, temperatures dropping to between nine and 14 degrees. high pressure, then, still with us as we start off the weekend. there are a couple of subtle weather features that may change things a bit — one frontal system which try to will bring a bit more cloud into the north—west, and this area of low pressure, which will come into play through the second half of the weekend. but saturday, a nice—looking day. in fact, even for those eastern areas, there‘ll probably be more sunshine on saturday than there will be on friday. and in the sunshine, those temperatures still doing pretty nicely. mid—to—high 20s for most places, still a bit cooler close to those north sea coasts. now, i mentioned that area of low pressure down to the south. as get on into sunday, it is going to try to fringe a cluster of showers towards southern and western parts of the uk. so across the south—west, wales, perhaps northern ireland, there could just be some
5:57 am
showers and perhaps some thunderstorms during sunday. further east, a lot of dry and sunny weather, and we start to bring the winds in from the near continent. levels of humidity are going to start to rise, temperatures back up to 30 degrees, maybe a little higher than that across parts of the south—east. and we stick with that slightly more humid feel as we go on into the new working week. a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, just the chance of the odd shower in the south and west. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: five people are dead after a gunman opened fire at a newspaper office in the us state of maryland. water companies tell customers to take short showers and avoid using hosepipes. 33... we have
5:58 am
33. .. we have lost matt but we will make sure we get all the weather from him later in the programme. when losing isn‘t so bad after all. england will take on colombia in the last 16 of the world cup.
