from across europe. plus: why current and former members of the mormon church are calling for an end to the practice of asking children as young as eight intimate and sexual questions during annual interviews by church officials. hello. welcome to the programme. we're live until ”am this morning. as always, we're keen to hear from you throughout the programme on any of our stories. a little later, we'll be talking about cash machines. new figures show they've been closing at the rate of 300 every month, and now there's a row about a cut in the fee operators like small shops get from operating the machines in their stores. are you one of those who think cash is dead and don't bother with cash machines, or are you worried that without cash machines, small corner shops could suffer? cash or card? let me know. to get in touch on that and all the stories we're talking about this morning, use the hashtag victoria live. and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today:

five people have been shot dead in the newsroom of a local newspaper in the us state of maryland. two more were injured as the gunman fired with a shotgun through a glass door into the office of the capital gazette, in the city of annapolis. a suspect is being interrogated. police say he is a white man, in his late 30s. nada tawfik reports from annapolis. hands raised and rushing to safety — this has become a familiar scene in america. this time, the target was a local community paper. mid—afternoon, just as initial reports of the attack were coming in, staff inside detailed the horror. the capital gazette's crime reporter said the gunman shot through the glass door. phil davis hid under his desk during the rampage. he said nothing was more terrifying than hearing multiple people shot, and then the gunman reload. he later compared the scene to a war zone. police apprehended the suspect without exchanging any fire. they described this as a targeted attack.

the suspect carefully planned each move, and stormed into the building with a smoke grenade and a shotgun. us media have identified him as 38—year—old jarrod ramos. thursday night, investigators were searching his residence in maryland. the deputy chief of police, bill krampf, said the suspect likely held a vendetta against the paper. threats were sent over social media. we're trying to confirm what account that was, and we're trying to confirm who actually sent them. he also confirmed that all five victims were staff members of the capital gazette. in the wake of the attack, security has been stepped up at major media outlets across the country, including in new york. the staff at the capital gazette have continued to cover the story, despite being at the centre of it. and, in a sign of strength and determination, they've vowed to put out their friday morning paper. nada tawfik, bbc news, in annapolis, maryland. annita mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary

of the rest of the day's news. thank you, good morning. a second wildfire has broken out on moorlands in northern england. up to 100 firefighters from lancashire are tackling a blaze on winter hill, near bolton. meanwhile, a further 100 soldiers from the royal regiment of scotland have joined a team firefighters in greater manchester, to bring a fire on saddleworth moor under control. eu leaders have reached an agreement on how to deal with the migrant crisis, after nearly ten hours of talks at a summit in brussels. italy had threatened to veto the group's conclusions if it did not receive help on the issue, as it is the entry point of thousands of mainly african migrants. as part of the deal, leaders said that new migrant centres could be set up in eu countries on a "voluntary" basis. with us now is our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas. good morning. tell us more about what the details of this deal are and will they stick? good morning.

yes, this deal took all night for the leaders to hammer out and they we re the leaders to hammer out and they were there until five a:m., almost, to get all of this in place. because italy have been holding things up, saying it needed more help. and if it didn't get it, it was going to block everything. what is in it? for italy, there is the things it wanted. more cooperation with libya, tougher controls at external borders tougher controls at external borders to stop people coming in. and this idea of centres, they are called controlled centres. inside eu countries. they can be to process arrivals. some people deported if they don't qualify for protection. those who do, distributed on a volu nta ry those who do, distributed on a voluntary basis around eu countries. and even where the centres would be is voluntary, we are told. for germany and angela merkel, he was looking for things, words in there

about the need and ability for european countries to take more action to prevent people moving within the eu once they arrive and they are allowed to stay here. so everybody got something, but it is volu nta ry, everybody got something, but it is voluntary, angela merkel had said it should be a european solution, so will everyone take part? that is not clear. she also said it was important this preserves european values, so the idea people looking for protection should be given it. for that, it will depend on how these places operate. and how many people and how they are screened. still a lot to be worked out, but something of a win for both sides and angela merkel may come away with enough. just briefly, the aspects of this deal but the test pretty quickly and the big question is, can it stand the test of more migrants arriving into europe the summer?” think a lot of that will depend on the numbers. remember, this issue at

the numbers. remember, this issue at the minute is not a crisis of numbers, the numbers are down considerably. a huge drop in the last couple of years. european commission have said up to 95% down compared to the peak of the crisis. so the issue is the political dispute between european countries, especially the new italian government, the new far right government, the new far right government that has taken a much tougher position about wanting help from the rest of the eu. they have got some of that, i think the critical question, if the numbers stay as they are, it is likely to be manageable. if the numbers grow a lot, there could be new strains emerging but that will depend on the corporation italy has been maintaining with countries like libya, trying to intercept people or prevent them before they set out to ci’oss prevent them before they set out to cross the mediterranean. whether that continues to work. and also, whether that does protect lives. the concern amongst many watching is

that people have been drowning in the mediterranean to get across, people have been in libya held in conditions where they are exposed to very many different threats. will those continue or worsen because of this? thank you very much, from brussels. and we'll be getting more on what that deal means for the migrants and for the countries where they arrive, in a few minutes' time, after this bulletin. theresa may has warned eu leaders that their approach to brexit negotiations could be risking the safety of european citizens. the prime minister accused the european commission of putting obstacles in the way of fighting crime and terrorism, after britain leaves the eu next march. eu negotiators say the uk will be excluded from sharing criminal records and dna profiles. theresa may has welcomed a deal between the defence company bae systems and the australian government, to build new warships. bae saw off stiff competition from italian and spanish shipbuilders to win the contract, worth around £10 billion to the firm. the australian prime minister,

malcolm turnbull, said the deal was a sign of a strong trading relationship between the two nations. ajudge will decide today whether the police commander at the hillsborough disaster can be prosecuted. former chief superintendent david duckenfield faces 95 charges of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the tragedy, which happened in 1989. an order preventing him from being tried was imposed 18 years ago but, this morning, a judge will rule whether that order can be lifted and a fresh prosecution started. the government has apologised to two people whose parents came to the uk from the caribbean more than 50 years ago. a report found that immigration officials had detained anthony bryan and paulette wilson unlawfully and inappropriately. they were both wrongfully locked up on two separate occasions. the home office's treatment of members of the windrush generation has been described as "shocking". patients who see the same doctor repeatedly are less likely to die early,

according to a new study. people with chronic conditions and complex needs are known to benefit from seeing the same gp, so that they can build up a trusted relationship. gp leaders say they recognise the report's findings, but with current pressures on the workforce, it could mean patients waiting longer for an appointment. marine biologists will be carrying out the first ever survey of seal pups in the thames estuary this weekend. the project is about protecting grey and harbour seals, as helen briggs has been finding out. heading out of harbour, and it's not long before we find a large colony of seals. scientists have been monitoring seals in the greater thames estuary since 2013. 0ur survey will cover the whole estuary, but other particular key breeding locations, how is that distributed throughout the thames, what is the number?

it could really tell us the reproductive potential of the population that we're seeing. archive: these norfolk fishermen have left their nets and become hunters with guns. seal hunting was banned in britain in the early ‘70s. since then, seals have been gradually returning to our shores, and the thames and surrounding rivers have gone from biologically dead to a haven for wildlife. seals here are thriving, and finding so many seals is a really good sign of the health of the estuary. where you have seals, you have fish and other wildlife. 0ur skipper saw seal pups near here last year, suggesting this could be an important breeding site. it proves that the environment is actually getting cleaner. it's good to see the waterways are actually nice for them. once upon a time, with industries, some of the industries around then, the seal population did die off, and that's due to distemper, as well as general pollution in our rivers.

and counting the new arrivals will help keep this vital landscape safe for the future. helen briggs, bbc news. lovely images. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 9:30am. they certainly are, thank you very much. do get in touch with us throughout the morning. use the hashtag victoria live. and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. i asked you what you thought about the news that cash machines, and number of them are closing, that is rising. andrew says, i rarely take out cash, only when it is required for my children'sscore items. when they go to score, they will not be accepting cash, you pay on loan for everything now. this says, it is a bad thing, you had complete control of your finances to the government and criminals. this says, the only

cash machine in my bilic was taken away in a rahm raid. they closed the bank after leading it shut for months due to lack of use. two shots have stepped in with free cash machines, so it is not how many have shot but how many open to replace them. and this message from scott, i mostly always use cards unless i go out for some beers. thank you for those, keep the messages coming in. let's get some sport. katherine downes is at the bbc sport centre. good morning. a bit of a strange one last night. and a defeat for england at the world cup, but it didn t really feel like one? yes, a very strange situation for any england fan to be in. but england's don't need to win, they have got through to the knockout stages. but would we have liked to see them win? they could even have lost and got themselves an easier through to the quarterfinals. whisper it, maybe even the semifinals. the price they paid is that they perhaps have proved they are beatable at the world cup. here's the goal.

great strike by former manchester united player adnan januzaj. shrugging off danny rose. just after half time. that was the only real moment of excitement, in a largely mediocre game. clear that the top spot in the group wasn't really a priority for either manager. none of us like the feeling of losing, in the dressing room. and for the support that was in the stadium especially, but also, everybody at home, we wanted to give this a go. and i think we kept giving it a go right till the end. but we also wanted to balance those objectives. and our objective at the start of this group phase was to be in the next round, and we're in the next round. so, this is how the table stands — at the end of the group stages, england in second, behind belgium. with tunisia third, panama at the bottom. those are the fixtures. the knockout stages get under way tomorrow.

today, for the first time in this world cup, no football, what are we are going to do with ourselves? england fans are looking ahead to tuesday and colombia in moscow. are they a threat? the whole reason this has been taken positively is that colombia are supposed to be the easier option. by going into that half of the draw england have avoided the top four, four out of the top seven sides but that is how colombia booked their place with a 1-0 colombia booked their place with a 1—0 win over senegal thanks to yerry mina. they reached the semi—finals of the world cup last time round and they have some real flair in their side. but they have real concerns over their star striker, james rodriguez. he won the golden boot in brazil four years ago, but came off with a calf injury yesterday. this will give england fans hope, this is what glenn hoddle's england tea m this is what glenn hoddle's england team did to colombia in france 98,

beating them 2—0. southgate says this is england's biggest knock—out game for a decade. no david beckham this time though. and away from the world cup, the draw for wimbledon takes place in an hour. andy murray had to decide if he is playing or not. it has been good to see him back on court he lost the first round at queens but played at eastbourne and he has been out on the courts for the first time in months after hip surgery in january after an injury that saw him leave wimbledon last year and not play competitively since. good to see him back competing. that was when he won wimbledon for the first time in 2013. the big question is if he is well enough notjust to play on grass, we can see he has the old

fighting spirit and his fitness is back and he is competitive but does his body have what it takes to survive five sets at a grand slam? this is what he has had to say. you obviously gain stuff physically by playing matches and that is the best test, to play competitive matches. but also at this stage in my rehab, the training side of things and getting physically stronger and playing the matches, you also can see certain things that need to improve. he is keeping his cards close to his chest but the draw happens today sony has to make up draw happens today sony has to make up his mind in the next couple of hours whether he is going to be at the all—england club. thank you. first up this morning. european union leaders have reached an agreement on migration after nearly ten hours of talks at a summit in brussels. italy — the entry point for thousands of migrants, mainly from africa — had threatened to block any agreement unless it was promised more help to deal with migrants.

the plan now is to set up new migrant centres in eu country on a ‘voluntary‘ basis. these centres would process migrants to determine which are genuine refugess and those who it is believed are not. undocumented migrants mainly from africa — are continuing to risk their lives in the mediterranean. rescue workers have told this programme they are saving large groups of people wearing fake life jackets, packed into small rubber boats. earlier this month there were tensions after migrant rescue ships were barred from entry to italian ports. we can speak to our correspondents gavin lee, in marseille — he's been on the aquarius — that ship carrying migrants that was denied access to ports. james reynolds is in valletta in malta. gavin, you have been on aquarius, give us a sense of what it was like and the feeling about it returning to where you are in marseille. this ship became ember matic of the

political crisis over migration because suddenly, before the other ngo ships were banned from operating imports into italy and now in malta, it had 630 migrants on board off the coast of libya and they were told they could not dock. i first came to valencia and the spanish said yes as a one off as a show of political solidarity. since setting off from valencia three weeks in the search and rescue zone, sorry, three weeks at sea, three days in the search and rescue zone, no rescues we saw. the group save that off the coast of libya there were ten migrant boats in distress and each time the italian authorities indicated to the libyan coast got to carry them out, however long it took. the staff say they were ignored and accused italy of breaching international laws of the seeds of the first boat helping. this ship is now in marseille, the

crew are exhausted but they save they will carry on at least for the next voyage. how do you carry on after doing 4000 nautical miles at the in this short space of time got banned from ports? the question on board is whether this is sustainable or whether the appetite politically is that they are not wanted in the seas. james, what has the response been to this so—called migration deal that has come after ten hours of talks? of course all countries have signed up to it so they are pretty happy but essentially come looking at it from malta's point of view, and nearby italy, it boils down to this dash if the vague promises in the eu's declaration is transferred into actual commitments, they will be happy. the promises,

they will be happy. the promises, the agreement that there should be volu nta ry the agreement that there should be voluntary countries setting up migrant holding centres. it is noticeable that no volunteers are publicly put their hands up yet so we don't know where those centres might be. also, italy in particular wants to stop migration altogether across the mediterranean, making sure it does not happen. the interior minister said earlier in the week there should be migrant holding centres set up on the southern borders of libya. the eu declaration makes a rather vague promise saying that we should swiftly explore the concept of regional disembark went platform and swiftly explore is not the same thing as immediately build and i think italy will watch very carefully to see if promises turn into commitments. thank you very much. well, joining us now is an italian mep, elly schlein. mark micallef from the think tank global initiative against transnational organised crime, and german mep bernd kolmel,

from the european conservatives and reformists group. italy has taken a very strong position on this deal, even threatening to veto the joint statement that has been released this morning. what do you make of the deal reached and the compromises on migration? at first sight it is just vague promises, i can agree to that. it is nothing new, it is about externalising our borders but the problem is that this approach has never worked. it only opens up new routes even more dangerous and a lwa ys routes even more dangerous and always towards italy and greece. i read that italy basically gave up to all the strong requests that it had in the beginning of the summit. for example be mandatory relocation, the only way to put in place a truly

european system based on solidarity and sharing of responsibility. it is not a victory. the only winner here appears to be viktor 0rban because volu nta ry appears to be viktor 0rban because voluntary solidarity was there in the past it has never worked. it is not enough and it is not a european solution. we are very worried. i don't think this can be a durable solution to the issue. bernd kolmel, angela merkel has been under a lot of pressure to come up with a new deal to stop new arrivals coming in. what do you make of the agreement? the new member states reached a minimum, the mice, not more. and most important art disembarkation platforms, control centres. this is a step in the right direction but it is like putting a plate and a table and think what a wonderful dinner. it is much too less, the rest is

flowery words and for chancellor merkel and the c50, it is not a success. merkel and the c50, it is not a success. the c50 boss promised to stop migration immediately but now we heard from a long—term solution that it needs years to find a solution on this basis. what we never heard up to now is really a step to a new legal system for asylu m step to a new legal system for asylum seekers and refugees and that is very important. we need clear positions in which way we want to have migrants in the eu or not otherwise our system will collapse. and i am sure the voters in bavaria will not accept this position. you say the eu needs to decide if they wa nt say the eu needs to decide if they want migrants, italy has been clear

it isa want migrants, italy has been clear it is a note from them but coming back to germany, your interior minister has threatened to block migrants at the border if they are registered in another eu country and without his party's support angela merkel would lose her parliamentary majorities in the context of that and the deal that has been agreed, what will happen? the deadline is this weekend. i expect that the c50 will not go along on this position because they are in fear that when the choices that look with the coalition collapses the c50 will collapse but from the general line, 5eehofer and c50 must resign from this government because the government is not success and the compper mice is not a success, it is a disaster. mark, why is this issue backin a disaster. mark, why is this issue back in the spotlight now? hungaroring by minister viktor 0rban

has claimed europe is under invasion from migrants. is that the case?m is not and i would like to make the point on some of the points that we re point on some of the points that were made earlier. i agree completely that from a particular perspective everything hinges on the word voluntary and the non—enforceable dimension of the agreement. we have been here two years ago when european leaders have agreed on a resettlement programme of around 160,000 migrants from italy and greece. everybody came out from an all—night meeting like this tapping themselves on the back and it did not come to fruition and we are again in this crisis. and this isa are again in this crisis. and this is a key point here, i share the perspective from where this is

coming from but i think it is disingenuous to say that europe's externalisation of the borders has not worked. it depends on which perspective you are seeing it from. if it is from the externalisation of the borders having increased the risks for migrants transiting the long journey into europe at various points then yes that not worked. if you look at it from the perspective of numbers climbing down dramatically it has worked incredibly well actually. i was looking before this at the latest figures forjune. looking before this at the latest figures for june. around looking before this at the latest figures forjune. around 3000 migrants left libya and landed in italy injune migrants left libya and landed in italy in june this year and that migrants left libya and landed in italy injune this year and that is from 23,000 last year will stop that isa drop from 23,000 last year will stop that is a drop of 87%. before that it is consistent with previous numbers. besides that, this has been sustained since june 2017. my point

is, i don't know, i think it is incredible that we are in this sort of political crisis. ifi incredible that we are in this sort of political crisis. if i can just come in, i want to bring elly back in. why is migration dominic thiem the domestic agenda in italy and germany when the european council has said that numbers illegally entering the eu have dropped dramatically? —— dominating the agenda. i completely agree with what your reporter said earlier. it is a political crisis. the numbers do not justify this kind of invasion rhetoric because let's remind ourselves that in 2016 was the year with the highest number of requests, 1.3 million requests in all the eu.

there are .25% of the urban population and now it has dropped dramatically and saying that the externalisation has not worked, except for that reason we are only violating fundamental rights at work, in libya and turkey and the greek islands but part of the mission of the eu if we listen to the charter of fundamental right is also to protect fundamental rights of people and we're not doing it. we are failing at this. that is why i'm stressed now that the european pollard has voted in its historical vote in november, two thirds majority, a reform the regulation that overcomes the criteria dab full european solidarity with mandatory relocation in which all member states... i have to pores you there because i want to bring in bernd kolmel. —— i have to stop you. it is such a divisive issue hard to come up such a divisive issue hard to come up with a joint statement with such different opinions from different eu states. what is the feeling in germany? in germany we have very

different picture. a few parties say, ok, let's go on, we are open, we want to have all refugees in germany and help them. that is the left—wing parties, including the cdu. others want to be self—controlled, they want to stop this migration and have limits for helping them. that is the dispute and it is what we see in the whole eu at the moment i do not seek a common sense and not an agreement for a new legislation system —— i don't see. but we need it because without it the whole eu is in danger to be collapsed. still to come... when losing isn't so bad after all — england will take on colombia in the last 16 of the world cup,

following last night's 1—0 defeat to belgium. and the debate over cash machines hots up, and is theirfuture in doubt, as figures reveal around 300 are closing around the uk every month? time for the latest news — here's annita mcveigh the bbc news headlines this morning... five people have been shot dead in the newsroom of a local newspaper in the us state of maryland. two more were injured as the gunman fired with a shotgun through a glass door into the office of the capital gazette, in the city of annapolis. a suspect is being interrogated. police say he is a white man, in his late 30s. a second wildfire has broken out on moorlands in northern england. up to 100 firefighters from lancashire are tackling the blaze on winter hill, near bolton. meanwhile, a further 100 soldiers from the royal regiment of scotland have joined a team firefighters in greater manchester

to bring a fire on saddleworth moor under control. eu leaders have reached an agreement on how to deal with the migrant crisis — after nearly ten hours of talks at a summit in brussels. as part of the deal, leaders said that new migrant centres could be set up in eu countries on a "voluntary" basis. italy had threatened to veto the group's conclusions if it did not receive help on the issue, as it is the entry point of thousands of mainly african migrants. theresa may has warned eu leaders that their approach to brexit negotiations could be risking the safety of european citizens. the prime minister accused the european commission of putting obstacles in the way of fighting crime and terrorism, after britain leaves the eu next march. eu negotiators say the uk will be excluded from sharing criminal records and dna profiles. theresa may has welcomed a deal between the defence company bae systems and the australian government to build new warships. bae saw off stiff competition from italian and spanish shipbuilders to win the contract, worth around

£10 billion to the firm. the australian prime minister, malcolm turnbull, said the deal was a sign of a strong trading relationship between the two nations. the government has apologised to two people whose parents came to the uk from the caribbean more than 50 years ago. a report found that immigration officials had detained anthony bryan and paulette wilson unlawfully and inappropriately. they were both wrongfully locked up on two separate occasions. the home office's treatment of members of the windrush generation has been described as "shocking". marine biologists will be carrying out the first ever survey of seal pups in the thames estuary this weekend. the project is about protecting grey and harbour seals. numbers in the estuary are rising, but little is known about where the mammals breed. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. here's some sport now, with katherine downes. good morning.

england lost their final group match at the world cup to belgium last night. 1—0, the score. adnanjanuzaj with the goal in a game that neither side tried very hard to win. so, england finish second in group g, and they'll play colombia in the last 16, after they beat senegal, to top group h. that last—16 match will be played in moscow on tuesday. andy murray must decide this morning whether he's going to play at wimbledon next week — because the draw for the championships takes place in half an hour. he's making his comeback from hip surgery injanuary, so is his body ready to compete over the five sets of a grand slam match? and former australia cricket captain steve smith has played his first competitive match since his ban for ball tampering. he's excluded from national and state cricket, but played in the t20 canada league. he said it was "part of his rehab". that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. graffiti is often seen as a social problem affecting towns and cities. we speak to one artist, and a charity, trying to change the way we look at public spaces and open up a new conversation about their art.

there might be a few holes on supermarket shelves this weekend — crumpets, fizzy drinks, beer, british chicken and british pork are all affected by the current shortage of carbon dioxide. c02 is used to stun farm animals, put fizz in carbonated drinks and is used in packaging, but is in short supply at the moment. our business correspondent, joe lynam, is here. what is going on? it is a crisis! there is an issue of getting the sealant into packages of crumpets because c02 removes the oxygen. the more you remove, the longer the product stays on the shelves. so the issueis product stays on the shelves. so the issue is a shortage of c02, carbon dioxide. that has been going on for the pass two weeks and now we have a climax that will see potentially empty shelves at the weekend. this is the warning from the food & drink

association, saying the choice will be eroded over the weekend. you may not see as many offerings of chicken and pork and bacon because they are sealed using carbon dioxide. and we have a problem getting carbon dioxide because of long planned maintenance but also an issue with the fact that should have been making c02 the fact that should have been making co2 for others have not. we only have two of the five plants that make c02 uk wide operational at the moment and, as a result, we have an issue. they're genuinely will be gaps on supermarket shelves this weekend? i suspect if you are an experienced retailer, you will fill it with other products. but there may be issues if you are a smaller retailer, it if you don't have enough chicken and bacon and pork, there might be an issue with gaps on there might be an issue with gaps on the shelves. i don't think people have to hoard as if there is a

nuclear war beckoning but, at the same time, shoppers should be judicious and if they have extra space in the freezer, it might be wise to get a bit of extra chicken. so we need to stock up on crumpets! i hope you have two huge carrier bags! there is genuinely an issue, not just bags! there is genuinely an issue, notjust in britain, it in the continental europe, these factories that make c02 is a by—product when they want to make fertiliser, that has happened in continental europe as well as the uk and it is the perfect storm of c02. little did we know that co2 is used so much in our industry, from making our drinks to keep include fresh, but it plays a vital role and just when you need the stuff as the world cup is hotting up, literally, a couple of beer varieties may not be available. do we know when the problem will be fixed and the c02 will be back on? we are told by the different federations and associations it will begin wrapping up next week but that

will leave a backlog, so it might ta ke will leave a backlog, so it might take maybe seven, ten days before we full stea m take maybe seven, ten days before we full steam ahead. there is something like 10 million pints of beer which is brewed every year in the uk and if we are to deplete our country, that needs to be ramped up again and it may take more than a week before we are. the head. a lot of people watching may not realise c02 is used in packaging. can you run through the items again this will affect? we have done crumpets, british pork and british chicken, that is pre—packaged. british chicken, that is pre-packaged. c02 sucks out the oxygen from the packaging. it is also used to stun animals for slaughter so the stun guns use compressed c02 to knock them on the head before slaughter. if you cannot slaughter animals, you have a backlog of animals getting ready to be slaughtered and that creates problems for husbandry for the farmers and you can see it is a tight ecosystem involving c02 and if

you remove one element from the food and drinks ecosystem can going to have a problem. a knock-on effect. thank you very much indeed. i will be getting crumpets straight after the show! coming up... we'll be speaking to current and former members of the mormon church about a growing petition that's calling for an end to the practice of asking children as young as eight sexual questions during annual interviews by church officials. debate over the future of atms in the uk has intensified, ahead of a cut in the fee operators receive from banks. from sunday, the fee paid each time a cash machine is used will be cut, with further reductions due over the next four years. new research from the consumer rights magazine which? shows cash machines around the uk have been closing at a rate of 300 every month, however, link, which oversees cash machines, has argued that the move is vital for the sustainability of the network. joining me now is jenni allen, which? managing director of money,

and chris noice, spokesperson for the association of convenience stores. welcome, it is good to see you both. how much of a problem is this, jenny? as you said, over the last four, five months, atms have been closing at a rate of 300 a month and before that, 50 a month, a 2% decrease in the network overall. that is a very significant problem if you live in a rural community thatis if you live in a rural community that is already badly served in terms of atms, brent —— bank bridge closures and these changes should not come in without a sufficient review by the regulator to check people are not stripped of that access to cash. why is it drastic, going from 50 closures and to 300 at the end of last year? it is the backdrop of link making the changes to the way operators are paid and we say adequate review has not happened of what the impact of that will be.

we're not just of what the impact of that will be. we're notjust the one saying this, it is the federation of small businesses, the association of convenience stores, this could have greater ramifications than we can see at this point in time and we are calling on the regulator to stop the changes and do a proper review. chris, what will those ramifications be? for many members, cash machines are a really important service not just for the consumers that use them but also small businesses and market stalls and consumers in rural areas that cannot otherwise get access to cash. retailers don't go into putting a cash machine in their store to make money, it is not a massive profit. and there is risk association with a cash machine. we have seen lots of ram raids. it is a balanced retailers have to strike. and as we have heard, the decision by link is leaving retailers to make decisions about, do they take the machine out all together or moved to

a charge machine which nobody wants because people want free access to money. that would revert back to the old days when you are charged, i don't think consumers will be charged —— happy about being charged a fee for withdrawing cash. what businesses telling you about this move? they are telling us that they are looking actively at removing cash machines and some have already done it. the contract they enter into with operators are quite long. retailers are having to think long—term and actually do is there something in that space that could be more profitable. it is a shame because retailers have been taking on other services that have been left behind, things like post offices and bank branch closures. there have been thousands of banks closing and more to come so it is a shame that retailers are effectively being forced into making this decision. but they should not be subsidising the networks because the big banks want to make more profit.

link, who run the network, said it should incentivise people to open up cash machines in rural areas. is that fair? the problem with the way that fair? the problem with the way that link are doing it is they are taking a very reactive approach. they have a policy where it is one kilometre between atm noble and if there is more than that then they encourage it to open but if it retailer has closed its atm and put something of income another 10p on a transaction is not then to put in another one. it is very different to have one kilometre in a busy high street and one kilometre in a rural area. absolutely and in rural areas you people who are not particularly mobile and one kilometre is out of reach. jenny, i suppose we want to get a sense of how this fee structure works. for an operator, a small store who put a cash machine

in the store, what the wood they receive and how was it changing? in the store, what the wood they receive and how was it changing ?m depends but for a free to use atm, the atm provider receives 25p from a bank when somebody makes a withdrawal and with this 20% reduction that will go down to 24p force up a reduction of 1p does not sound a lot but what the providers are saying is it could question the financial viability of a number of atms, thousands of them, so it should not be brought in without that being scrutinised. and what about people who say that we are moving towards a contactless society, we can use our phones to pay-. society, we can use our phones to pay. , contactless payments society, we can use our phones to pay., contactless payments can be made on apps on our phones, web payments. it is true that a lot of us are payments. it is true that a lot of us are using online banking and digital payments more but 2.7 million people in the uk rely on cash solely for their day to day living. there is often people who are marginalised them more

vulnerable, and you need to be looked out for. we are saying that the regulator as to step in and look at this before these changes happen and they cannot be reversed, as you said. thank you very much. i will read out some messages coming in from people watching at home. this is from david who says, i'm guessing the vast majority of those calling for the scrapping of atm machines don't use them, many no doubt use their mobiles to make purchases. i use an atm regulator and that only a basic pay as you go mobile phone for emergency use only. i don't need and will never want the bulk and expense ofa will never want the bulk and expense of a smartphone also a cashless society that has been suggested, how are we supposed to make the money many transactions which don't involve commercial outlets? 0r self employed tradespeople, should they be equipped to receive cashless payments, the window cleaner needing to await his bank details? those who

go through life with their smartphones permanently welded their hand need to be made aware it is not all about them and should consider the many people who prefer to have a reserve of real cash and don't want to be required to invest in an expensive phone which they might regard as a vital necessity but for which the rest of us don't need. it may come as a shock to them but not eve ryo ne may come as a shock to them but not everyone is on facebook or snapchat. thank you for writing. another from mark in staffordshire. i would not like to see banks allowed to close branches and cash machines also most of what they think is lies. hanks wished to do away with cash and the staff at branch level is. we will all miss cash when it's gone. this agenda banks are following must be challenged. thank you for your messages, keep them coming in. if you text is, you will be charged at your standard network rate. england will play colombia on tuesday night in the last 16 of the world cup, following last night's 1—0 defeat to belgium. some say that because of that result, england now face an easier route through the rest of the tournament.

so, what was it like last night? let's speak now to richard kingdon, who was at the game in kaliningrad, and only landed back in the uk this morning. i will introduce our other guests in a moment but first of all, i'm amazed you have made it in! how was it? fantastic, a great experience and great memories. really good. all of the conversation in the uk yesterday was about whether england are playing to win this game or not. what was your view? i don't know, it's a hard one yesterday. there was a lot of players rested. no harry kane. no harry kane. note sterling conor henderson, a lot of the players was missing. —— no raheem

sterling. we have still got to focus on colombia on tuesday which is definitely beatable. and what about people who say that england should have had their best team out and it is demotivating to lose, for the fa ns is demotivating to lose, for the fans and players? i don't think so. it was a party and a carnival yesterday, it was brilliant. it was such a lovely day, the weather was perfect. all of the fans were mingling with each other, the russians and belgium's and england fans, it was just a carnival and russians and belgium's and england fans, it wasjust a carnival and no hint of trouble. just really good. despite what we have been told of what would happen, that was nonsense, it was a fantastic day out. the result was irrelevant because it did not matter to belgium or england who won. and if you're going to lose, it is better yesterday than the next one. the next four games we have a clear run

to the semifinal. it doesn't matter about who have got, the semifinal is hypothetical, we have got to beat colombia on tuesday and i that sweden or switzerland in the next game. and then we will see. but you're not there any more, how come you're not there any more, how come you are back? it's very expensive to go. it is not that easy. but i will try to get out for the quarterfinals. i will try. try to get out for the quarterfinals. iwill try. i've try to get out for the quarterfinals. i will try. i've only just landed back so i had to sort out flights and tickets. the good thing is i have got a fan id and a visa so that is easier, right through to the final. i would love to get to the final and be out there but who knows? nobody knows what is around the corner. how many international tournaments have you been to? 98 in france, 2006 in germany and obviously to be part of that atmosphere yesterday and that whole experience, they are memories you will never forget, know what i

mean. it is a fantastic day. obviously the result was not that important. i just thought obviously the result was not that important. ijust thought it obviously the result was not that important. i just thought it was fantastic. and in the ground, it was two thirds english out there. and it isa two thirds english out there. and it is a farce, we had 1600 tickets, they must have been 15, 20,000 ingush fans in that stadium and it was brilliant to be around that party —— english fans. we have a good laugh in the fan zone with the belgian fans. i know you have talked about it a bit, but in the run—up to the tournament, expect it would put off people who decided not to go from england supporters, because of everything we heard in the build—up about russia and it perhaps not being the best environment to be in. how does it compare to other tournaments? i think it was similar in 2006, they made out that because of our history with germany... the

police were going to come down heavy— handed on england police were going to come down heavy—handed on england fans and it never materialised like that. it was a really peaceful world cup despite all our histories. and with russia, i didn't really think there was going to be any trouble. i was in marseille when it kicked off with the russians. but i did not think that was going to happen. there is just no way they were going to behave like that with the whole of the media and the world watching and if putin does not want trouble there will not be trouble. i wasn't concerned. a positive experience. let's bring in somebody else you might recognise. and john hemmingham, the trumpet player for the england band. he's joined by steve holmes on drums and steve wood on euphonium. hello. good morning. how are you feeling? we're a bit shattered but

obviously happy to be through to the next round. i agree with everything that hasjust next round. i agree with everything that has just been next round. i agree with everything that hasjust been said, it is fantastic out here. this personally i think they did well to rest the players and belgium did as well also it was the right thing to do. everything is good. and what was it like playing in front of so many people yesterday? richard said there we re people yesterday? richard said there were thousands of england fans in the stadium. i think the most number of england fans so far because we have done the other two games as well and the fans have been fantastic. i think they have gained a great reputation as being the loudest at the world cup and the most supported which is what we need and what the team demands. it seems to be working. loudest thanks to you! how are you received? you have been doing this for a while and i know you have problems in the past when you were not officially

supposed to be playing but now you have an official letter. we do. this is our sixth world cup. we went to brazil and we did not get in at all. that was an awful tournament to be honest. here we have the letter of authority and the fa have helped out to get that sorted out and we got it translated into russian and it works very well. we had our instruments measured yesterday to make sure they are not too tall which was quite interesting! you had grabbed them measured? that interesting! you had grabbed them measured ? that is interesting! you had grabbed them measured? that is notjust a russian think -- measured? that is notjust a russian think —— had to have them measured. there is a limit, 120 centimetres in height, although they did measure the depth as well. that is four feed so we are the depth as well. that is four feed so we are well within it but it was quite comical but they are just doing theirjob! what a relief! and what is your russian world cup experience like so far? people

talked about safety concerns before the tournament kicked off. talked about safety concerns before the tournament kicked offm talked about safety concerns before the tournament kicked off. it really couldn't be better and it could not be further from what we were led to believe. the people are so welcoming, the cities we have visited have been very interesting and people want to check out their english and they can't do enough for you. it is great value for money here and the results are obviously going well so it is all good. i think the russians like our culture and they want to interact. it is one of the best tournaments we have been to having done six. that is great to hear. stay there. thank you for coming in, richard either literally come straight into the studio. go home and go to bed! he has done well! and coming back i home and go to bed! he has done well! and coming back! can't home and go to bed! he has done well! and coming back i can't let you go without getting you to play something. this one is we're on our way to moscow. # we're on our way to moscow

# we're on our way to moscow #0n # we're on our way to moscow # on our # we're on our way to moscow # 0n ourway # 0n ourway # england is on its way! #. thank you very much indeed. i will be listening out for you when england take on colombia. simon as the weather, how are you going to follow that? ican doa i can do a fanfare for the temperatures yesterday! it was scorching again also porthmadog but up scorching again also porthmadog but up to 33 degrees. in northern ireland we were only 0.3 degrees off the all—time record temperature.

this was this morning on the satellite, quite beautiful with the cloud hugging the north—east of scotla nd cloud hugging the north—east of scotland and elsewhere, clear blue skies. inviting scenes down in pembrokeshire on the coast. a lot of sunshine as well in leicestershire this morning. with that sunshine, temperatures will build up quickly again. the cloud in the north east of scotla nd again. the cloud in the north east of scotland might linger into the afternoon, some will burn back to the coast and there might be a bit coming back into the cost of lincolnshire and norfolk. you can see the yellow is the lowest temperatures but further west the template is build—up to the mid to high 20s, perhaps 30 in porthmadog and the west of wales, glasgow has 27 degrees so not as hot as yesterday. this evening and tonight, the cloud returns to scotland and central and eastern part of england.

overnight temperatures 10—14d, similarto overnight temperatures 10—14d, similar to what we have had most of this week. going into saturday, the wind direction changes slightly, coming from the south—east and that will bring temperatures up in southern parts and also increase the humidity. it'll be a fine day of many on saturday, early morning cloud disappearing swiftly and barely a cloud on saturday afternoon and the temperatures mostly in the mid—to high 20s. a bit cooler in parts of scotland and northern ireland and that will be the same on sunday. the other change on sunday is this low pressure moving up from the bay of this gate which is going to throw in one or two showers —— bay biscay. those shells could be heavy and even thundery in parts of south west england, south wales, but they will be few and far between and for most of us on sunday it will be dry and sunny again. temperatures

widely into the 20s, 30 around london and increased humidity. how long is it going to last? well into next week. temperatures in northern ireland and scotland in the low to mid 20s but further south they stay in the mid—to high 20s. no sign of any significant rain or cloud, bye— bye. hello, it's friday, it's 10 o'clock, i'm tina daheley. european union leaders have reached an agreement on migration after nearly ten hours of talks at a summit in brussels. but not everyone is convinced. voluntary solidarity was there in the past and it has never worked, so it's not enough and it's not a european solution. we are very worried, and so i don't think this can be a durable solution to the issue. we'll be speaking to charities and volunteers, to hear what they think of the agreement.

also this hour, why current and former members of the mormon church are calling for an end to the practice of asking children as young as eight intimate and sexual questions during annual interviews by church officials. a warning from arthritis uk that those living with the condition are missing out on vital aids and assistance from their local councils. we'll be speaking to the charity's chief executive, as well as three women, who will share their stories of living with arthritis. good morning. it's 10 o'clock. here's annita mcveigh, in the bbc newsroom, with a summary of the day's news. thanks. good morning. five people have been shot dead in the newsroom of a local newspaper in the us state of maryland. two more were injured as the gunman fired with a shotgun through a glass door into the office of the capital gazette in the city of annapolis. a suspect is being interrogated. police say he is a white man in his late 30s. a second wildfire has broken out on moorlands in northern england.

up to 100 firefighters from lancashire are tackling a blaze on winter hill, near bolton. meanwhile, a further 100 soldiers from the royal regiment of scotland have joined a team of firefighters in greater manchester to bring a fire on saddleworth moor under control. eu leaders have reached an agreement on how to deal with the migrant crisis — after nearly ten hours of talks at a summit in brussels. as part of the deal, leaders said that new migrant centres could be set up in eu countries on a "voluntary" basis. italy had threatened to veto the group's conclusions if it did not receive help on the issue, as it is the entry point of thousands of mainly african migrants. theresa may has warned eu leaders that their approach to brexit negotiations could be risking the safety of european citizens. the prime minister accused the european commission of putting obstacles in the way of fighting crime and terrorism after britain leaves the eu next march. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, says progress has been made, but there remain what he describes as "big divergences". time is very short.

we want a deal, i'm working for a deal, but time is short and i'm ready to invite the uk delegation to come back to brussels next monday. theresa may has welcomed a deal between the defence company bae systems and the australian government to build new warships. bae saw off stiff competition from italian and spanish shipbuilders to win the contract, worth around £10 billion to the firm. the australian prime minister, malcolm turnbull, said the deal was a sign of a strong trading relationship between the two nations. ajudge will decide today whether the police commander at the hillsborough disaster can be prosecuted. former chief superintendent david duckenfield faces 95 charges of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the tragedy, which happened in 1989. an order preventing him from being tried was imposed 18 years ago but, this morning, a judge will rule whether that order can be lifted and a fresh prosecution started.

the government has apologised to two people whose parents came to the uk from the caribbean more than 50 years ago. a report found that immigration officials had detained anthony bryan and paulette wilson unlawfully and inappropriately. they were both wrongfully locked up on two separate occasions. the home office's treatment of members of the windrush generation has been described as "shocking". patients who see the same doctor repeatedly are less likely to die early, according to a new study. people with chronic conditions and complex needs are known to benefit from seeing the same gp, so that they can build up a trusted relationship. gp leaders say they recognise the report's findings, but with current pressures on the workforce, it could mean patients waiting longer for an appointment. marine biologists will be carrying out the first ever survey of seal pups in the thames estuary this weekend. the project is about protecting grey and harbour seals, as helen briggs has been finding out. heading out of harbour,

and it's not long before we find a large colony of seals. scientists have been monitoring seals in the greater thames estuary since 2013. this year, for the first time, they will be counting the pups. 0ur survey will cover the whole estuary, but other particular key breeding locations, how is that distributed throughout the thames, what is the number? it could really tell us the reproductive potential of the population that we're seeing. archive: these norfolk fishermen have left their nets and become hunters with guns. seal hunting was banned in britain in the early ‘70s. since then, seals have been gradually returning to our shores, and the thames and surrounding rivers have gone from biologically dead to a haven for wildlife. seals here are thriving, and finding so many seals is a really good sign of the health of the estuary. where you have seals,

you have fish and other wildlife. 0ur skipper saw seal pups near here last year, suggesting this could be an important breeding site, and counting the new arrivals will help keep this vital landscape it proves the environment is getting cleaner. once upon a time with industries, several industries around, now the seal population died off because of distemper and general pollution in the area. and counting the new arrivals will help keep this vital landscape safe for the future. helen briggs, bbc news. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 10:30. thank you very much. do get in touch with us throughout the morning. use the hashtage victoria live. and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. 0ne message from catherine, it is

about cash regarding cash or card. we are live in an area where mobile connections dodgy, two shots require minimum payment and another two don't have card leaders and the local post office and cash machine are invaluable and cash remains king. keep those messages coming in. let's get some sport now. katherine downes is at the bbc sport centre. good morning. england are back at their hotel after last night's defeat to belgium. 0ur sports correspondent, david 0rnstein, is there for us in repino. such a strange situation last night for england. perhaps the bubble burst and they lost momentum. maybe it was a good thing that they lost? yes, that is just about right. welcome to repino, and the gulf of finland, a distance from the england hotel, they arrived in the early hours of morning and they will not be training today, recovering and recuperating after the exertions of

last night. they will be back in full training tomorrow. if we reca ptu re full training tomorrow. if we recapture both sides made many changes with their places in the last 16 already guarantees, but there was a step up in quality from belgium and england didn't pass that test. adnan januzaj belgium and england didn't pass that test. adnanjanuzaj with the only goal of the game. and what a goal it was, stepping inside danny rose and curling past jordan was, stepping inside danny rose and curling pastjordan pickfords, wild celebrations among the belgians. it meant a lot to them and their supporters. england finish second in the group and they go on to face colombia. that will be a real test for england in moscow on tuesday evening. colombia reached the quarterfinals at the last world cup and they also have james rodriguez in theirteam, but and they also have james rodriguez in their team, but he is an injury concern with a calf problem so we wait to see what happens with that. england four places above colombia in the world, but colombia will have huge support behind them and it will bea huge support behind them and it will be a real test for england if they wa nt to be a real test for england if they want to go on in this world cup.

yes, there is no easy draw, is there, david? thank you very much for now. it might not have been the most entertaining game, this was one of the highlights. this is michy batshuayi. he managed to make a meal of his celebration forjanuzaj's goal, by striking the ball onto the post — and then against his head. he went on social media to say a fortnight of celebration was so over rated, he had to create something new. not sure what that is about, something to do with a computer game and they have been doing it on the pitch. in the other game in colombia's group, we saw something very strange — japan passing it around, despite losing 1—0 to poland. why? well, they didn't want to pick up any bookings because, despite defeat, they still qualify for the knockout stages because they had collected fewer yellow cards across their group games than senegal. so japan sojapan did so japan did qualify, but in rather

bizarre circumstances. away from the world cup. away from the world cup. we'll find out in the next hour or so whether andy murray will play at wimbledon next week. the draw for the championships is taking place right now. murray was hoping to be fit enough to play after hip surgery injanuary. there's no indication that his name is not in the draw, after he played at queen's and eastbourne. and the former australia cricket captain steve smith played his first competitive match since being banned for ball tampering in march. he scored 61 off 41 balls for the toronto nationals in the first global t20 canada league. smith's12—month ban only applies to matches in australia, and he said that playing was part of his rehabilitation. we will bring you the news as to whether andy murray will play at wimbledon when we get it. yes, we should get that any moment now. thank you very much. european union leaders have reached

an agreement on migration, after nearly ten hours of talks at a summit in brussels. italy — the entry point for thousands of migrants, mainly from africa — had threatened to block any agreement unless it was promised more help to deal with migrants. the plan now is to set up new migrant centres in eu country on a ‘voluntary‘ basis. these centres would process migrants to determine which are genuine refugees and those who it is believed are not. meanwhile, undocumented migrants ? mainly from africa ? are continuing to risk their lives in the mediterranean. rescue workers have told this programme they are saving large groups of people wearing fake life jackets, packed into small rubber boats. earlier this month, there were tensions after migrant rescue ships were barred from entry to italian ports. we can speak first to our correspondent gavin lee, in marseille. he's been on the aquarius. it must be strange, it is coming back empty, can you give us a sense of what it was like and how it will be received when it arrives today? it has been deeply frustrating for

the crew on board. 34 rescuers and medics from doctors without borders and 505 mediterranean because we have been on board ten days and they set off two days in the search and rescue zone because they had to. they went back from valencia with 630 migrants at first because italy and malta said they were banned from the ports because they are accused of being a taxi service for illegal migrants, so they came back from valencia, 4,000 nautical miles in total and the crew are questioning whether this is sustainable because there are no migrants are on board, we are in the port of marseille and the castle of monte cristo is behind. ultimately, the big question about what happens in the future. i spoke to a doctor on board the ship and asked about his experience. definitely the most extraordinary few weeks i have had at sea. the level of activity we had over the

first few days was intense. we had so first few days was intense. we had so many people on board and then the medical care and the supply and the food and everything that we had to do for those folks was quite a lot. and then, of course, what we expected to be just one or two day journey back to italy turned into a week—long journey across the mediterranean, to spain. you as the doctor, tell me about how intense that was. you know, when i think about certain patients, i remember particularly a young man who we resuscitated, he was about 20 years old, from nigeria. he was essentially dead when he came on to the boat. fortunately we were able to get him back, get him recovered. and over the next seven days, as we moved towards 5pain, he did great. he looked fantastic and gave me the biggest smile as he walked off the boat really not needing any more medical care at that point. i will remember him for ever.

a patient like that who is so close to death but then steps off into a new life in europe, that is really something special. and what more for the aquarius? can this ship carry on? can these operations carry on? now we are finding that ngos such as ourselves here on the aquarius are being gradually criminalised and sidelined from being able to do this type of work. if the authorities controlling the search and rescue zone are not willing to let us do that job, of course we are going to have to start questioning what we're doing out here. but in the meantime we are going to continue to be present and try to do that job. that was the ship docked at talking

to me earlier. a few things to consider. —— doctor. while the europeans are pushing to changes when it comes to more help for the italians when it comes to migration so more countries take on migrants come into italy, they are banned ngo ships come into port and so have malta but there were 13 ngo ships musty and just two in the last few weeks. the migrants from my experience on board in the last ten days, they are not wearing life jackets, they are much further out of libyan territory, not 12 miles. this ship found 160 nautical miles off the water, it could be off the coast of libya for about 24 hours in a rubber raft, they had fallen into the water and some were drowning. this is the ethical question for europe, the libyan cosker, european trained, people go back to detention

centres in lebid —— coast guard. the un say the detention centres are inhumane because there are thousands of people in one room, rice and a bowl of water, and the un monitoring that situation but it is not up to any standard that fits the category so it is ethically a big question for europe. they are talking about building new centres but in the meantime there was a big question about what happens to these boats. gavin, thank you. well, joing us now is hannah wallace—brown, who works for the non—profit organisation refugee rescue. andres conde, the ceo of save the children in spain. and josie naughton, the ceo of help refugees. welcome. what are the teams you work with telling you? i think something to remember is that although this term crisis is used all the time, the numbers of people arriving are

down a lot about 22015 but the crisis is in the response and lack ofaid crisis is in the response and lack of aid response. the teams we work with across europe are concerned because there are people in genuine need —— lack of humanitarian response. people can not respond the way they should. people are still living in camps. 0urteams way they should. people are still living in camps. 0ur teams are worried for what is happening. and what about in the context of the political situation? we had this eu summit with ten hours of talks and thisjoint statement on summit with ten hours of talks and this joint statement on migration but clearly people want different things so how does your work work in that context? italy don't want any mike wood at all four example. again, it is this polarised approach —— don't want any migrants. people talk about these numbers and they have to remember that it is human beings and talking about solutions, everybody talks about these things

as problems but we have to think about getting to the root of the problem rather than just putting about getting to the root of the problem rather thanjust putting up walls and stopping ships. hannah, i know you are training in wales at the moment but you are normally based on the greek island of lesbos. tell us about the search and rescue work you do on i guess the front line because italy and greece are those front line countries when it comes to migrants making the crossing. absolutely. slightly different to the central mediterranean, we are based quite close to turkey and it is a relatively short stretch of water and people make thisjourney in inflata ble and people make thisjourney in inflatable boats, rubber dinghy is with an outboard engine strapped to the back. they are normally instructed by age smuggler to head for the lighthouse. the lighthouse is there to direct away from danger and unfortunately that is a point of reference people are going for. the

aim of our operation is to intercept people before they land on that quite treacherous coastline to avoid a situation where you have people in the water. for the most part, if they are wearing a life jacket, that is fake. the majority arriving in these boats at the moment are women and children and often we have people unable to walk without assistance so you can imagine that in the event of one of those boats capsized, it is an incredible fragile situation and catastrophic. andres, you would assume from a rescue point of view, the situation would be better because the numbers of people making the journey, for example the european council said the numbers have dropped 96% since the numbers have dropped 96% since the peak in october 20 the numbers have dropped 96% since the peak in 0ctober2015. the numbers have dropped 96% since the peak in october 2015. that's right. the figures are a long way

down from the ones in the peak of 2015. the of spain where it is seen as the western route as having increasing flow, we are seeing increasing flow, we are seeing increasing figures of arrivals but still manageable —— the case of 5pain. still manageable —— the case of spain. the spanish coast guard is doing a good job and there is no problem but it is more about the reception and integration of people coming. we are especially worried about the number of ocon —— unaccompanied minors. we received 4000 lasted but we expect many more this year. what happens to them? is ita this year. what happens to them? is it a bit of this year. what happens to them? is ita bit ofa this year. what happens to them? is it a bit of a lottery depending on where they end up? that's right. the syste m where they end up? that's right. the system in spain is still very weak and it has to be deeply reformed to guarantee their rights. the problem is that these children are looked as

migrants and not children but as children they have a different set of rights that we have to respect. and a different set of needs as well. the system at the moment is not prepared for these children and managing their protection and guaranteeing their rights are fulfilled. that change as to happen. but i think it will because are seeing these increasing numbers and authorities are increasingly worried about the number of children coming on their own. we talked about migration and people making the journey a lot in october 2015 when the numbers were at the highest in the numbers were at the highest in the previous summer and now we are talking about it again. the queries not being allowed to dock in italy or malta —— aquarius. that put it backin or malta —— aquarius. that put it back in the spotlight. how does the political situation affect your work? the type of message we are

hearing from italy for example, from the hungarian prime minister and from austria, from countries taking a harder line? there is a worrying trend across europe to be putting a stop to the humanitarian work incredible organisations are doing and as! incredible organisations are doing and as i said before, the numbers are coming down so we have to think about solutions to help these people who are here. there are 68 million displaced people around the world at the moment and we have to think about solutions rather than antagonising these people who are fleeing awful things and deserve a humanitarian response. and if it your experience in terms of unaccompanied minors rising? absolutely, there are almost 4000 in greece at the moment and a third of those are homeless, there is nowhere in camp or shelters for them to go. we have to talk about these kinds of

things, not closing the borders but thinking about how to help these children are in desperate need of help. i don't know how much you know about the deal struck overnight, hannah but they are talking about things like restricting the movement of asylu m things like restricting the movement of asylum seekers between eu states, new migrant centre is being set up in eu countries on a voluntary basis, strengthening external border controls, extra money for turkey and north africa. will that make a difference? i think it is very concerning that this is the direction we are going in as a european body. we're talking about the fact that the number of people arriving into europe is going down but that is not reflective of how many people are trying to make the journey and how many people are losing their lives along the way. what we're seeing is an increasing externalisation of responsibility of european responsibility, and it is

leaving people quite literally dead in the water. search and rescue, our organisations, they are increasingly faced with challenges to operate in a safe and effective way. we have been delayed in our ability to provide assistance to people and this is incredibly problematic. the term refugee crisis for me is a dramatic notion because it puts all the onus on the person, the refugee, the onus on the person, the refugee, the person fleeing from a problem. they are a symptom of an issue, not an issue of themselves. until weak start addressing the root causes of migration i'm afraid i feel rather despondent. the additions in the eu states have been elected on thomas is to people who have a problem with large numbers of migrants —— politicians have been elected on promises to people. what would you say to that? i would say that actually the eu is only hosting

around 2% of the world population of refugees. as has been said, displacement is a critical issue internationally and growing, and until we acknowledge that nothing will change fundamentally. you can placate your constituent in the short—term by saying we will build walls higher and the problem is solved also until we realise that, wait a solved also until we realise that, waita minute, solved also until we realise that, wait a minute, it is not. wars continue to happen and the world continues to warm. we are not addressing the root causes at the moment. andres, what do you think the solution is? angela merkel has made it clear we have to have some sort ofjoined up approach when it comes to migration and you have italy calling for shared responsibility, along with greece, because they see themselves as the front line countries. what is the solution from your perspective? let me start with what is not the solution which is what has been

decided, the creation of these volu nta ry decided, the creation of these voluntary control centres within the eu and the regional this about patient centres. —— disembarkation centres. it raises high possibility of these places becoming detention centres. with experience previously in grease, these places exist already but the attention ofjob and is completely illegal and against the rights of the children and we have experienced what happens when you detain a child for a long period. we are seeing mental—health problems, children attempting to commit suicide. we are seeing self harm coming from children and a lot of mental issues. the solution is actually what the eu has decided as actually what the eu has decided as a short—term solution and this problem has to be addressed in the long term. two things have to happen

from our perspective. one would be to allow safe and legal route for migrants to come, in a safe way and in an organised way, that is something that clearly as to happen. these decisions are not going to stop children making dangerous journeys so safe and legal routes is something to be considered. and the second thing is working with countries of origin and transit to develop opportunities for these people to stay but that means sustained, long—term investment in creating development and opportunities. safe legal routes and long sustained investment in origin countries are clearly the solution and not what has been decided. thank you. a final word from you, josie. we have seen ngo ships being barred entry by italy, malta, the same thing happened with a german ship. do you can see the —— do you see

that continuing? i hope not but it seems to be the trend and that is why it is important we have these conversations and remind people that even the term migrant, these are often refugees and we had to think often refugees and we had to think of them as people, human beings who need and deserve our support. thank you very much to all of you for joining us. still to come... we'll be speaking to the charity that's warning people living with arthritis are missing out on vital aids and assistance from their local councils, as well as three women who have the condition. also, coming up... we'll be speaking to current and former members of the mormon church about a growing petition that's calling for an end to the practice of asking children as young as eight sexual questions during annual interviews by church officials. time for the latest news. here's annita mcveigh. the bbc news headlines this morning: five people have been shot dead in the newsroom of a local newspaper in the us state of maryland.

officials had detained anthony bryan and paulette wilson unlawfully and inappropriately. they were both wrongfully locked up on two separate occasions. the home office's treatment of members of the windrush generation has been described as "shocking". that's a summary of the latest bbc news. thank you. here's some sport now, with katherine downes. andy murray will be playing at wimbledon next week! he's been drawn against benoit paire, of france, in the first round. it's his first grand—slam appearance for a year. england lost their final group match at the world cup to belgium last night. 1—0, the score. adnanjanuzaj with the goal, in a game that neither side tried very hard to win. so, england finish second in group g and they'll play colombia in the last—16, after they beat senegal to top group h. that last—16 match will be played in moscow on tuesday. and former australia cricket captain steve smith has played his first competitive match since his ban for ball tampering.

he's excluded from national and state cricket, but played in the t20 canada league. he said it was all "part of his rehab". that's all the sport for now. thank you very much indeed. next — a story which might included sexual references and descriptions, so if you've got a child with you, you might want to take them away from the telly for the next ten minutes or so. we're talking about a well—known branch of christianity — with millions of worshippers worldwide — but a petition against practices within the mormon church is growing in the us and is gathering momentum here in the uk too. it's about concerns that children as young as 12 often undergo what's known as a ‘worthiness interview‘, in which they're sometimes asked sexually explicit questions. the point of the interviews is to prepare mormon youth spiritually and ensure they are obeying the commandments, one of which is the law of chastity. but we've heard that church leaders are asking questions which some say are intrusive, embarrassing and potentially damaging.

0nly men carry out the interviews. a petition calling to ban the ‘worthiness‘ interviews was started in the united states. it's had more than 20,000 signatures from within the mormon community, several hundred of which are thought to be from here in the uk, where we understand the practice happens too. let's talk now to david sheppard. he's left the church, but has experienced intrusive interviews, which he says left him with feelings of guilt. peter bleakly. he's a current member of the church, who knows people who have undergone ‘worthiness interviews‘. stephen blomfield is also an active member of the mormon church. he‘s got three children. good morning. david, what is your experience of worthiness interviews? the first interview i had, i was around 12 years old and it is a very normal part of the culture, yes, we

have a one—on—one interview with the bishop. initially, it is normally about how you doing, how are things going? to ensure that the youth and myself are going in the right direction, we will also prop about questions of a sexual nature. initially asked things about mass debating. which at that age, i did not know what that was. so it was almost introducing me to the topic. pornography, i did not know what that was, but i soon realised. when you are being interviews, what was going through your mind, how did you feel when you are being asked his questions about these things you had no idea about? at the age of 12. it would have been a strange mix of normal because it is just what is in the culture, it is what you do.

there is a lot of rights of passage within the mormon church and 12, the men received the priesthood and you start having interviews so that side of it was normal. but it was becoming increasingly uncomfortable when i realised that things such as mass debating which was not an issue before i knew what it was within the context of the church, that it was a bad thing, where is initially, it was sort of, 0k, bad thing, where is initially, it was sort of, ok, that is something the body does. and so when realising that and realising it is in the context of, you can read it in the scriptures where it equates breaking the law of chastity in one stage lower than murder. so in my mind, doing... that is a lot to put on a 12—year—old, when you are going through puberty and all of a sudden,

i assume there are feelings of shame. if it is one step down from murder, is a 12—year—old, that must be very difficult. yes. and it is very isolating because i felt like i was the only one with those kinds of issues. it wasn‘t until later in life when i started talking to people, i realised i wasn‘t the only one, but even then, for my entire teenage years, it would have been layered and coated in the shame of, you know, trying not to do things that are very normal and very healthy in a number of ways. peter, you are nodding, does that sound familiar to you? absolutely, i experienced the same, this is young men and young women in the church, it is an ever present thinking your life. our church, we have a lay on paid ministry were amateurs, everyone participates, we give a

role or calling to everyone who is willing to do it. the roles of the people who ask these questions and to have this responsibility, they will serve in that role for a few years and other people will do it. ina way, years and other people will do it. in a way, we take turnsjudging and supporting and sometimes asking these questions of each other. and it is not the entire thing. i love my community and i love my church, fantastic, wonderful that hearted people. but we have inherited a syste m people. but we have inherited a system where this has been normalised and now we are entering the 21st century, and we are much more aware now of safeguarding issues, it has become untenable really. i am a teacher and i had a really. i am a teacher and i had a really interesting conversation with my congregation recently and with other adults and we were discussing safeguarding issues. because it is starting to become a concern more widely. and we just sort of shared, lama widely. and we just sort of shared, i am a teacher, a person worked for

the ambulance service, and member of the ambulance service, and member of the congregation runs the sexual health services for the youth in our area. we have a member of our diocese who runs a fostering agency. we get state—of—the—art safeguarding training in our professional lives. and it then just training in our professional lives. and it thenjust seems training in our professional lives. and it then just seems crazy that in our church community, which we run together and which we are responsible for, because we all share a ministry, we don't apply the same standards. it just share a ministry, we don't apply the same standards. itjust doesn't happen. my diocese has been very proactive and we recently got an international expert who is a member of the church in safeguarding to begina of the church in safeguarding to begin a process of training, and there are individual cases of fantastic best practice going on. but ultimately, our church is very top—down, the leadership internationally determine the guidelines and policies. and those are very vaguely worded and they are just not good enough. particularly in this day and age, they are not specific enough to protect children. they have recently said junk people

can request someone else in the room during those interviews but the pressure is on the young person to ask for that, not it is standard and should always happen every time. we are ina should always happen every time. we are in a situation where our church, the current practices and procedures would not survive two minutes of scrutiny in our workplace, and yet here we are as adults doing this.“ you‘re talking about eight—year—olds, 12, there is a pa rental eight—year—olds, 12, there is a parental responsibility here as well? i grew up in the church and now i have three children. nine, seven and five. the church has hierarchy which is directed from the united states. and that is the teachings which are correlated and they are taught in congregations worldwide. and the same teachings. and there are some fantastic teaching is the church offers. do you believe in god, injesus christ? that is what they are promoting. but

they also promoting standards. they are encouraging members to contribute positively to their community and they are encouraging members to lift their standards as brightly and with integrity and morality as much as possible. with that, though, they have become, those standards have become prescribed and they get taught to children under eight years old, the age we have been talking about, that is when they can officially be baptised and become a member of the church in a formal sense. so there is an interview they go through with the bishop. the leader of the local congregation. and as they go through the youth programme in the church, which is fantastic, it encourages the individuals to better themselves, to be a better person and to help others and care about others. but they are also taught the standards, which could be seen as

for the safeguarding. for example, standards, which could be seen as forthe safeguarding. for example, i wa nt forthe safeguarding. for example, i want my daughter to be looked after and if she does have a boyfriend in her teenage years, i want that boy to be respectful to her, but it means that she is also aware, acutely aware of all the things that she might do, while experiencing life that might go against some of those teachings. how'd you reconcile your faith with your children? would your faith with your children? would you allow them be interviewed? this is the issue that i have. yes or no and then explain, would you allow it? at the moment, no. i am not comfortable with it. because the local leader, the bishop, or even higherup than that, local leader, the bishop, or even higher up than that, we have a group, the cost of congregations would have a state president. these individuals can interview. and like peter said, they have not been trained. but they are better mental

issues and try to encourage them to do better —— but they are there to teach the younger people. but they are all individuals. they might ask questions which might be intrusive. it varies depending on who the leader is. when i found out about the petition, it resonated because i am uncomfortable my children would be asked questions that, although it might have good intentions, to try to encourage them to be better, sometimes, they would be inappropriate and intrusive and it is not something i think an individual, whether it is an ecclesiastical leader or not or in my faith or in any other faith, i don't think they should be asking children these types of questions. some people watching might have strong opinions about the fake itself which they are entitled to do, that discussion is not for today about how they view those relationships —— the faith. it is the position of power when it comes

to honourable children and they have no training and they are very impressionable and that will impact, no doubt, their relationships for the rest of their lives. typically, a leader, a bishop, might be bishop 45, six, seven years. could span the whole time of somebody's teenage years. if somebody felt like they we re years. if somebody felt like they were falling short from the standards set by the church, which are good and wholesome and respectable standards, i don't have issues with the standards. chastity being one down from murder? all right. so the importance placed on them might be severe. and it does component that concern people. when individuals might fall short, this means they might go to the local leader, who is representing their god, jesus christ, and confessing theirsins and god, jesus christ, and confessing their sins and they are also at their sins and they are also at their most vulnerable. and it only takes one leader that is exercising

his position inappropriately where, asi his position inappropriately where, as i have read in the petition, many people have had experiences which horrified. have you experienced guilt as a result of these worthiness interviews? yes. you don't even need to have the worthiness interview to experience the guilt. and guiltjust for being sexually active? even something as simple as masturbation which you would say is part of normal teenage development, our concern is the para meters development, our concern is the parameters of what is considered to be part of the law of chastity goes too far. we do not have a culture of being very good at talking healthily about sexual matters. there are a lwa ys about sexual matters. there are always individuals who, partly because of their professional experiences, might be good at that, but the movement and petition is not about bringing it down, it is just

about bringing it down, it is just about saying some of this is not right. we should not have men one—to—one with children in a room, thatis one—to—one with children in a room, that is just standard. one—to—one with children in a room, that isjust standard. and it is only men carrying out these interviews, which is problematic in itself. but did you sign the petition? i have not. are you going to? i am in full support. 5am young, the gentleman who spoke out, i am in full support of everything he has done and i probably will sign it but i have also discussed it with other members of the church and other family members. enthusiastically i have signed it and donated to the cause. and 50,000 people have signed it. just as enthusiastic? i have probably signed it more than once! and it is about a particular element and these worthiness interviews. this has come in from simon, in

faith communities the process of repentance including confession when somebody had sinned is a long—standing and helpful process in drawing closer to god. in my experience over many years, when you‘ve confessed voluntarily they are very relieved and much happier. iama are very relieved and much happier. i am a lifelong member of the church andi i am a lifelong member of the church and i found these i am a lifelong member of the church and ifound these meetings i am a lifelong member of the church and i found these meetings with i am a lifelong member of the church and ifound these meetings with my bishop inspiring and helpful also you have focused on conversations about sex i assume because it makes about sex i assume because it makes a good headline but the majority of composition is checking out the young person is doing in all aspects of their life. these meetings supplement the support and guidance i received for my parents. the father of seven, i have appreciated the love and support offered by these leaders including interviews about worthiness. the final word to. the europe area of the church ofjesus christ of latter—day saints sent us this statement. abergavenny the since its independence,

south sudan has suffered from civil war and famine and a large proportion of children do not go to school in the country. however, a programme run by the country‘s ministry of education and funded by the uk government, is trying to increase school attendance by paying girls cash to go to class. let‘s take a look. the independence and safety of people with arthritis is being put at risk because councils aren‘t providing them with information on what help they are entitled to. that‘s according to a report out today from arthritis uk, which argues many living with the condition are missing out on vital aids and assistance equipment as they they are unaware of authority‘s legal duty to provide certain support items. let‘s speak to liam o‘toole, who is the chief executive of arthritis research uk. catherine manning, who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 12. sue patey, who was diagnosed 30 years ago and was forced into retirement because of her condition. and to kirran gill, who was diagnosed with arthritis

in her 20s and had to give up herjob due to her illness. thank you forjoining us. tell us about this research and what it found. there are 17 million people in the uk with arthritis or associated conditions and we know one of the effects is that it gradually can steal your independence. we wanted to look at availability and adaptation to keep people independent. what the report showed is that 95% of the people we spoke to who were using adaptation set at eight rebound effect and help with the quality of life and independence but the thing that bothered us, in england local authorities have a legal duty to provide information to people and advice about aids and adaptation and also to provide free aids. —— about

aids and adaptation. eight out of ten people who were eligible were not getting any help at all and 50% of the people we spoke to were spending their own money on aids and adaptation. why is that? 80% of people are not aware there is help available. we think the local authorities want to help but they need challenge and support. we would like them to fulfil their legal duty but we would also like government to support them with advice and good practice guidance so that there are good ways of providing this service and reaching out to people. this is not just about the money. and reaching out to people. this is notjust about the money. because it makes sense. we would like local authorities to understand that if you put in a grab rail to somebody‘s

bathroom, it will stop them slipping over so they don‘t turn up at a busy a&e. if you can do the little things in the kitchen and bathroom and around the house that can keep people living at home independently for longer, it means people will not end up having to go into residential care. itjust end up having to go into residential care. it just makes end up having to go into residential care. itjust makes sense. it is a win—win situation, seemingly.“ care. itjust makes sense. it is a win-win situation, seemingly. it is a stitch in time. i know you have bought aids to help you with your own money. i have. iwas diagnosed originally with arthritis in my knees when i was quite young. about 12| knees when i was quite young. about 12 i hada knees when i was quite young. about 12 i had a lot of sports injuries. that is one way that osteoarthritis occurs, through injuries. i coped with that, i was young and you get on with life. later on i had back surgery, i have had three major operations on my back and because of

the surgery and the injury i have osteoarthritis there. when i left hospital after my last operation some eight or nine years ago, i was provided with a perching stool, which for those people that arthritis, and for those who don't know, it is a school that is angled with sides on it and if you have arthritis and you could have sides to your chairs it is difficult to stand up, let alone get up and walk. it has handrails, the seat is adjustable and it is angled and the angled bit is really useful. you can sit anywhere in the kitchen. that is where i use it most. at the moment i don't need it but it is there if i do. i can't believe i am saying this but the other piece of equipment i have found really useful was a raised toilet seat. if you have a

bad back, one of the worst things is standing up. there is nothing wrong with saying that, it is a fact of life. and it is used every day. and more recently i was diagnosed with a problem in my fingers which are misshapen andl problem in my fingers which are misshapen and i have had four a major operations on my hands. people think it could be that bad. your hand is unusable for a minimum of six weeks and i still can't use this hand and it is five months after surgery. i can't drive, can't do anything in the kitchen, can't cut up my anything in the kitchen, can't cut up my own food, i can't dress, buttons or zips or laces. i had to rethink my whole wardrobe. i had to rethink my whole wardrobe. i had to rethink aids in the kitchen. i was having physiotherapy for my hands and the physiotherapist, she is an absolute star and i cannot fault her, but i asked and i saw an

occupational therapist. that is the person who normally you would think would know how to access not just what aids are available but how someone like me can get them. i sat down with her and she gave me a list and showed me and said, you have to go and buy them on amazon. can i ask you about your experience? did you know help was available? not at all. only because i had an occupational therapist and luckily for me she was fantastic and she still is and i have her ongoing support. she assessed my home. at 305! was told it was not safe which is hard when you have a young family —— at 35. but she provided the with grab rails, i had a perching stool, the toilet because it is a big thing also before that my husband was lifting me on and off and he should not have to do that. bath boards so

ican sit not have to do that. bath boards so i can sit down and have a shower because i could not do that. arthritis affects every part of your daily life, even cutting up food. you are raising awareness by being here today and talking about how things have improved. to have children cutting your true... things have improved. to have children cutting your true. .. we took the understand that. some breaking news to bring new, in the past given it a judge has ruled that the police officer in charge at the time of the hillsborough disaster, david duckenfield, can face trial for the manslaughter by gross negligence of 95 football supporters. he was achieving superintendent of the yorkshire police force when liverpool supporters were fatally injured. if it -- it supporters were fatally injured. if it —— it removes a previous order in place for 18 years. that in good morning, little surprise that it will remain fine and sunny

for most of us. these were the scenes in southport, something that most of us are looking at the moment in terms of blue skies and sunshine. still a bit of cloud is affecting north—east scotland where it will be a bit fresher. and down the east of england but elsewhere the temperatures are building up. looking at the mid to high 20s and perhaps in north—west wales and west of northern ireland could reach 30. overnight, still some cloud on the north sea coast which will move inland on saturday morning. overnight temperatures similar to what we have had in the last few nights. at the weekend, we keep the hot sunshine, a lot of dry weather, the chance of some showers in the south west of england and south wales on sunday but for many of us the heatwave shows no sign of stopping. this is bbc news.

these are the top stories developing at 11:00am: eu leaders warn that a huge and serious gap remains between them and the uk over brexit as they begin to discuss the issue. on brexit we have made progress but huge divergences remains. david duckenfield — the match commander at hillsborough — will face a trial for the manslaughter of 95 football supporters. five people are shot dead and others after a gunman opens fire in a local newspaper newsroom in the us. also in the next hour, carbon
