it's 2nd july. i'm joanna gosling. welcome to bbc newsroom live. firefighters from across england are joining their colleagues on the burning moors of greater manchester and lancashire today. crews from tyne and wear, northamptonshire and shropshire are attempting to extinguish major fires on winter hill, above bolton, and moors around saddleworth, near oldham. ben norman, from lancashire fire and rescue service has been explaining the problems his team faces. the ground is very arduous conditions that they are working on so conditions that they are working on so that creates its challenges. we are enjoying a fabulous summer period but it's not great for the firefighters all the fire itself, which is why we have the most aggressive fighting at four a: m. , which is why we have the most aggressive fighting at four a:m., at first light. as the day gets hotter

it creates problems for the firefighters and intensifies the firefighters and intensifies the fire and we will also see fires that we extinguish yesterday where we tried to dig out the pete and the fire beneath the ground, they will flare—up again today and create significant problems for us. clearly the wind has picked up again at the scene, so the wind has picked up again at the scene, so that will drive both the fire and also the smoke, and clearly firefighters can't work in breathing apparatus in these conditions like ina apparatus in these conditions like in a domestic property, so it's a consideration for the firefighter safety in terms of where it is safe for them to operate and attack the fire from. kevin fitzpatrick has been at winter hill for us this morning and has described the task facing the emergency services today. this is the control centre for this operation which is still a serious, ongoing incident. we are up on top of winter hill, in bolton, and smoke is still pouring across the moor

lands, sweeping down the valley. firefighters, around a hundred of them, are up there trying to keep on top of the little pockets of fire which are increasingly starting to emerge. it was deemed a major incident on saturday when two fires on either side of the hill began to come together into one large fire. the strong wind swirling around was spreading it incredibly quickly and it is now covering around three miles square. the incidents down the road in saddleworth moor, around 30 miles to the east, that is a major incident and the army are still there but they believe they are on top of the fire, but as here, when the sun comes out and the peat bogs heat up, that is when things reignite and spread with the winds, so reignite and spread with the winds, so problems potentially a header that and they are expected to be that and they are expected to be that and they are expected to be that a number of days. one other issueis that a number of days. one other issue is that the police are getting stronger in their calls to the public to stay away from the situation at winter hill. increasingly people have, down these

thin roads to take photographs and get in the way of the fire engines and drones are a major end —— issue. we have bbc footage from a drone and clearly we had permission to do that and that is to give the viewers an insight intojust and that is to give the viewers an insight into just how big and that is to give the viewers an insight intojust how big a challenge this is as the fire spreads along the front line at winter hill, but increasingly people with around drones have turned up and the serious risk is that they get in the way of the helicopters which have been coming over and dropping waterfrom the which have been coming over and dropping water from the nearby reservoir. police had to speak to three people about that yesterday. so the sunnis warming appear, as it has done every day in the last week oi’ has done every day in the last week orso, and the has done every day in the last week or so, and the fire crews are up there, braced for another day working hard, sweating, with smoke in their eyes. it's going to be some tough times ahead. downing street is expected to unveil details of a fresh plan for the uk's future customs arangement with the eu later this week, ahead of friday's crucial cabinet meeting at chequers.

its understood to be a distinct, new proposal — after the government decided the two models previously discussed were neither practically nor politically deliverable. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. so have they come up with some magic formula that everyone will get behind? they wish. that is what they need, frankly. the two proposals on the table at the moment are basically being rejected in the sense that brexiteers are adamant they will not agree to the idea of a customs partnership under which we would continue to administer eu ta riffs would continue to administer eu tariffs and former remainers say they will not put up with what is called maximum facilitation because they argue it would involve a border in northern ireland and delays with border checks. theresa may has got to find something to bridge the gap. and the talk is that there will now bea and the talk is that there will now be a new proposal on the table. it will not involve extending the transition period, so we are still

leaving by december 2020 but it is a new plan. we have not been told the detail of it, but a lot of speculation is that it could be a halfway house plan under which we would stay aligned to single market rules and regulations for goods, but not the services, the thinking being that would reassure remainers that frictionless trade could continue with the single market but would also satisfy brexiteers because britain could strike its own trade deals, certainly when it comes to services. however there are already ominous signs for mrs may from brexiteers. jacob rees mogg in the telegraph this morning warning that if mrs may backtracks on some of her key red lines then she could split the party and lose power. let's just have a look at some of the things he said. he warns her to stand firm against those he describes as the metropolitan establishment. he goes on to talk about this

crucial issue of the irish border and some former remainers have reacted indignantly to some former remainers have reacted indigna ntly to what some former remainers have reacted indignantly to what they see as a clear threat from the brexiteers. alan duncan, a foreign office minister this morning tweeting that jacob rees mogg's insolence in lecturing and threatening the prime minister is too much. it risks the basic government, party, country and himself. the prime minister must be given maximum latitude and backing. the ideological right or a minority despite their noise and should pipe down. so the tensions between both sides still seen, and that points to the scale of the task mrs may now faces the challenge that this new third way customs plan will have to meet,

albeit some former remainers like the conservative mp vicky ford this morning insisting that no deal simply cannot be an option. morning insisting that no deal simply cannot be an optionlj morning insisting that no deal simply cannot be an option. i will say to jacob and two others who want who want a very clear answer, that if this becomes a binary choice between staying in the single market or the customs union or no deal, thenl or the customs union or no deal, then i do not believe that there is a majority for no deal. the challenge theresa may faces is not just the muhaarar at westminster where she has to try and coddle the cabinet back together, she has to restore peace between brexiteers and remainers, and also, there are also oui’ remainers, and also, there are also our good friends in brussels who have do agree to this third way, new customs plan, and the initial soundings are they are not very keen on the idea of a half in, half out

package because they take the view that you cannot divide up goods from services. many goods also involve services. many goods also involve services they would for it, as cherry picking, so the chances of being able to solve such a third way, if that is what is something mrs may will do, it is a tough one. water companies across the uk are urging consumers to cut down on their water usage because of the recent heatwave. severn—trent is asking its customers in the midlands to avoid using hosepipes. on friday, northern irish water became the first utility company in the country to annouce a hosepipe ban, saying demand for water was a third higher than normal — as emma vardy explains. while people have enjoyed the sunshine outside, this is where the real work is going on. this is one of the northern irish water treatment centres which is operating at full capacity and going like the clappers trying to pump out every

drop of water as fast as it can because of the huge peak in demand during the heatwave, and demand has just been exceeding supply. i am joined by maynard from northern irish water. what sort of challenge are you facing? the challenges the demand for water is unprecedented. the challenge is getting enough treated water to supply the customers. the treatment works like this, and it is designed to curb —— cope with a certain amount of water and you cannot go over that volume. once you go over that volume, you risk the water quality and we cannot put our water that is not treated and to compliance standard.“ put our water that is not treated and to compliance standard. if the heatwave continues, what risk is that of more supply failures? we are trying our best to keep customers supplied and we are doing our best and we want to insure production is maximised. across northern ireland we are at maximum production. so we have seen a hosepipe ban in place

over the weekend. how long until it ta kes over the weekend. how long until it takes effect and eases the pressure? hopefully people will realise the situation that northern ireland water is in and do all of that they can to help us. we have seen a slight reduction over the weekend and people will hopefully take it to heart and stop using hosepipes and sprinklers where possible and only use water when essential. thank you very much. the hosepipe ban which continues this week is northern ireland's first hosepipe ban in 23 yea rs ireland's first hosepipe ban in 23 years and a number of water companies around the uk are also urging people to conserve water, ta ke urging people to conserve water, take shorter showers are not overfill the kettle because with this weather continuing there could be the water supply failures. in mexico, the left—wing anti—establishment candidate andres manuel lopez 0brador is heading for a landslide victory in the presidential election. preliminary results and exit polls suggest he won about 46%

of the vote. his three rivals have all admitted defeat and congratulated him on his victory. will grant reports from mexico city. andres manuel lopez 0brador has waited i2 andres manuel lopez 0brador has waited 12 years for this moment. having narrowly missed out on the presidency in 2006, this was a victory he savoured. in many ways, he has waited a lifetime though. from the moment he burst onto the political scene as a left—wing activist, he clearly wanted the presidency. now, at the third attempt, it is his. the new project of the nation will seek to establish an authentic democracy. we do not bet on building an open and closed dictatorship. the changes will be profound but will happen with a strict adherence to the legal establish order. there will be corporate freedom, freedom of expression, of association and beliefs. the campaign might have

been the bloodiest in mexico's history. but the vote itself passed off peacefully, at least in most polling stations. in aragon, a low—income neighbour in mexico city, queues were orderly ambushers patient. keen to exercise their democratic right to show their displeasure to the governing party. the word on the lips of many people in mexico is change, notjust change in the party and power but the president but a more fundamental shift in the political and economic direction of the country. in particular, change is wanted in those parts of mexico where the drug cartels rather than the state rules. mr 0brador‘s picture is largely because he promised to tackle the ingrained corruption and violence. economically as well, his supporters hope you can redress the balance in one of the most unequal societies in the americas. it is a daunting task ahead, but now his supporters are delirious with joy.

he and his party faithful have decimated the two main parties in mexico, and in the the headlines on bbc news. downing street comes up with a new plan to try to break the deadlock in theresa may's cabinet over customs arrangements after brexit. firefighters in lancashire are spending a fifth consecutive day tackling a huge blaze on moorland at winter hill. left—wing candidate andr s manuel l pez 0brador claims victory in mexico's presidential election — vowing to tackle corruption. the big breaking news this morning is that the cycling world governing body has cleared chris broom of any wrongdoing after a drugs test last year showed twice the permitted level of a legal asthma drug. the case has been ongoing since last

september. stunned by the hosts, spain are knocked out of the world cup by russia on penalties and will go on to face croatia in the quarterfinals. and defending champion roger federer is first on centre court at wimbledon today, looking for a ninth title, but there will be no andy murray this year because of injury. i will be back with more and those stories at 1130. the grenfell tower inquiry has resumed this morning and has been hearing from a firefigther who was part of the first crew at the scene of the fire lastjune, in which 72 people were killed. our correspondent tom burridge is at the inquiry. tell us what you have been hearing this morning. thomas abell has been giving evidence this morning and he was one of the first on the scene on the night. he was talking about is training and he was questioned like other firefighters presenting evidence to the enquiry, question about his training in relating to

fighting fires in high—rise buildings, questioned like the other firefighters about whether harry had any training about what to do what action to take if the fire was spreading of the exterior of the building, and if the fire was breaching what is called comp on termination —— compartment nation, where the fire started. 0r termination —— compartment nation, where the fire started. or what to do if they feel that a mass or partial evacuation was necessary. all three answers to those questions, whether he had training on those areas, was no, so more questions about the level of training that the firefighters are least in the london fire brigade have been having in relation to aspects of fighting fires in high—rise buildings. he was also questioned this morning about what is called the mobile data terminal. he was driving one of the fire engines that first arrived on the scene and the mobile data terminal essentially, we were told, gives the firefighters information about the potential risks in a building like g re nfell tower.

potential risks in a building like grenfell tower. he was questioned about what information the mobile data terminal gave them on the night and whether it included information about the risks that the building posed to refurbish grenfell tower. would you expect a mobile data terminal to contain information about specific construction risks? yes, there may be risks about things in the building for example hazardous materials, anything that would be a concern to us from a safety point of view and that would be on the database that we could look at. what about if the building itself presented a hazard because of the way was constructed or the materials contained within its construction? is that something you would expect to be in the mobile data terminal information? yes. do you know what information the

contents you know what information the co nte nts of you know what information the contents of the mobile data terminal is normally based on? it is built up knowledge from previous visits to the tower which is updated into the operational risk database which is a central database for the whole fire brigade which any crew can access. and from your knowledge of the night itself, did anybody say to you that the mobile data terminal was showing that the building itself contained materials or had construction that presented a hazard ?|j materials or had construction that presented a hazard? i don't recall that, no. thomas abell questioned, s0 that, no. thomas abell questioned, so questions about what data the first firefighters on the scene g re nfell tower first firefighters on the scene grenfell tower had at their disposal and about the potential risks linked to the building itself. we have also been given thomas three —— thomas abell‘s statement, and he was

questioned on aspects of it, but he spoke about how he remembers thinking that the building is going up thinking that the building is going up likea thinking that the building is going up like a rocket fuel, that is one of the quotes and at one point he was sent in to the floor above the fourth, so the fifth floor, and the fire started in flat i6 fourth, so the fifth floor, and the fire started in flat 16 on the fourth floor and he remembers kicking in the door above of flat i6 and thick smoke coming out which was and thick smoke coming out which was an immediate morning signed to him to make him think something was wrong —— warning sign. and a detail from his statement was that he remembers seeing a man trying to mountan remembers seeing a man trying to mount an escape on the 16th or 17th floor using tethered bed sheets and thinking about lowering himself down and he had to shout to the man to tell him to stop because he thought that was simply too risky and might encourage other people to do the same. thomas abell will give evidence throughout today and we are hearing from firefighters throughout the whole week. let's look at some of today's

other developing stories. an mp has called for bouncy castles in public areas to be temporarily banned after the death of a young girl in norfolk. according to eyewitnesses, the inflatable trampoline exploded flinging the girl into the air. she was taken to hospital but died of her injuries. an investigation involving the health and safety executive, local authority and police is under way. the rights of eu students to study in england will be extended beyond brexit, the government has announced. it means those starting in the autumn of next year will pay the same tuition fees as home students throughout their degree. the scottish government had already made a similar commitment for eu students starting at scottish universities. the singers cheryl and liam payne have announced they are splitting up after more than two years together. the former girls aloud star, who's 35, and one direction member, who's 2a, made almost identical announcements on twitter. the pair have a one—year—old son called bear.

and the basketball star, lebron james, is joining the los angeles lakes as part of a four—year deal worth £116 million. many consider the 33—year—old the best basketball player in the world. james has played in eight consecutive nba finals, and joins the lakers from the cleveland cavaliers. the german interior minister, horst seehofer, is reportedly threatening to resign, creating more instability for angela merkel‘s coalition government. mr seehofer has been pushing for a tougher approach to asylum—seekers — and was reported to be unhappy with last week's european union deal on migration. let's get more from berlin now and my colleague, david eades is there. heidi, david. tell us what the impact of all of this potentially lea k impact of all of this potentially leak is? every time you mention a problem with a coalition government and at the moment the question is, is this the end of angela merkel. i

don't think we have got there just yet but it could be the end of a partnership of these two parties. angela merkel‘s cdu and the csu which is a sister party based in bavaria in the south. they have been in union for nearly 70 years and it really looks to many as if the writing is on the wall. i am joined by the deputy director of the german marshall fund. thanks for joining us. marshall fund. thanks for joining us. the issue is immigration. let's be honest, the problem is one tiny aspect of a bigger picture. is this enough to sink the coalition government? it is certainly something that horst seehofer who was a something that horst seehofer who wasa memberof something that horst seehofer who was a member of the csu has drawn a line in the sand saying that we cannot take migrants that have already been registered in other eu countries. angela merkel is saying that we have to make an exception because it will cause a chain reaction that would be bad for the sanctity of the european union, so

there is a bit of a showdown right now. there are other things on the periphery as well. it's not just the migration crisis, the csu is not happy with angela merkel accommodating emmanuel macron with a comment eurozone budget. there are a couple of things piling up and i think there is a boardwalk of conservatism in germany right now. you said showdown which is becoming a regularly used word in germany, but if horst seehofer pushes it to the limit and says i am resigning, does that mean his party goes with him, out of government and angela merkel is left to pick up the pieces and try and form a new coalition? not necessarily. you would think the party would say, ok we will follow the elder statesman of our party, but they also know it is existential for the csu. they face a state election in bavaria and in the future, if they were to break apart, the cdu could say they will run in bavaria and that would be an existential threat to them. and most

people, they have just had an election and the government has barely been a hundred days in office and there is angela merkel fatigue in the cdu but i don't think people have reckoned with her stepping back so have reckoned with her stepping back so early in her term. whether it colla pses so early in her term. whether it collapses or not all stays together, angela merkel is still in post which will please a lot of people, but it's another chip away at her authority in an already much weaker governmental position. how long can you go on operating like that?” think most people realise that even after the election in september she came out the winner but weakened. people know that within europe and germany but she still enjoys over 50% of support here and there doesn't seem to be an alternative at the moment. there are others lurking that could perhaps step up but not at this moment and i think she knows that. but she is definitely weakened, but on the other hand she is framing this as a defence of the

liberal, international order and with president trump on the other side most people really want angela merkel to stay and see this through and they all know that this will probably be her last term and don't necessarily want her to exit the stage yet. we will see when it happens. thank you for that. that is the big question. most people cannot really remember her life before angela merkel, i2 really remember her life before angela merkel, 12 years in office, could be stretching to 16 if she stays the course. i have to say today that feels like a big if. thank you, david. the blue planet series has made us aware of the impact plastic is having on our oceans. but now it seems noise is also an issue for sea life. off—shore construction and busy shipping lanes are interfering with the way marine life communicates. ricky boleto reports from the solent. listening in on life underwater. this small device is picking up sounds we rarely get to hear,

and it's helping scientists establish how too much noise is stressing out ocean wildlife. whales and dolphins, we know, have very sensitive hearing. and we know sound causes stress, it affects their migration behaviour, it affects their reproductive behaviour. we have then looked at fish. fish also have ears and are affected by noise. today we joined professor steve simpson, a marine biologist who has dedicated much of his time to studying and collecting sounds from the sea. very close to loud sources of noise, we see animals with ruptured eardrums. whales and dolphins. we see fish with their swim bladders burst because of the noise. last year he featured on the bbc‘s blue planet ii. you hear pops and grunts and gurgles and snaps.

there is a whole language underwater that we are onlyjust starting to get a handle on. but that language is getting lost in an audio fog of man—made noise pollution. offshore construction and busy shipping lanes are interfering with the way marine life communicates. back on the solent, the engines are off. at last, peace and quiet. but it isn't long before steve's hydrophone, which detects underwater audio, picks up a catamaran ferry that is well over a mile away. really loud, isn't it? i mean, that's totally swamping anything out. if you were trying to communicate, if you were a dolphin in the area, you wouldn't make yourself heard over the noise of that boat. solving the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans will take many years. but when it comes to noise pollution, steve says it can be reversed.

working with the shipping industry we are now helping to design boats where the sound is insulated in the hull, and where the propeller is making less noise through cavitation. so ships can become quieter. and now, a massive community—based science project is about to launch, with the aim to map noise pollution all over our oceans. scientists are asking volunteers to help them out. they want people who have ships and other vessels to be their eyes and ears on the sea. and they are asking them to take regular audio recordings of what is going on underneath the water, and then feed that data back to scientists on dry land. it is hoped that will give steve and his team a better idea on how to protect these beautiful creatures. the leading british choreographer dame gillian lynne has died. she was 92. dame gillian began her career as a ballet dancer but achieved her greatest success in the theatre

world, devising the dances for lord lloyd—webber‘s cats and phantom of the opera. she worked on more than 60 shows in the west end and broadway. lord lloyd webber has paid tribute, writing: "three generations of the british musical owe so much to you." now it's time for a look at the weather. here's simon king. there is no sign of this heatwave or prolonged dry spell ending. certainly not for the next week or two with more sun in the forecast. it's been a beautifully sunny day so far today. this is the scene in derbyshire, and widely across the uk, you can see clear, blue skies. some cloud affecting the south—east of scotla nd some cloud affecting the south—east of scotland around coastal areas but that's about it but the north and in the south may be some cloud and a few showers brushing cornwall but quite hot for many of us this

afternoon top temperature of 30 or 31 in the south—east of wales and the west country and in the london area. a bit coolerfurther the west country and in the london area. a bit cooler further north, but overnight some cloud around the north sea moving inland across the south—east of scotland and north and east england. but through tuesday the rest of the week, little change, really. lots of sunshine, temperatures in the mid—high 20s, some places into the 30s and perhaps higher than that through the week. goodbye. this is bbc news. our latest headlines. downing street says it's come up with a third model for handling customs after the uk leaves the eu. details haven't yet been revealed but senior ministers are expected to discuss the new proposal at chequers on friday. it's feared the moorland fire in lancashire could burn for another five days — around a hundred firefighters are currently tackling the blaze. after a week of sunny weather and very little rain, the first summer hosepipe ban to be ordered in northern ireland in 23

years remains in place. a left—wing, anti—establishment candidate has been voted mexico's new president. andr s manuel l pez 0brador vows to tackle corruption and bring "profound change" to the country. danish scientists say they've made significant progress towards developing artificial "ovaries" to help women left infertile through illness. experts say the breakthrough is exciting, but the technique now needs to be tested on humans. lads get the latest and the world cup from the bbc sports centre. —— lets get the latest. good morning, england have claimed

this morning before they make their way to moscow for tomorrow night ‘s world cup last 16 tie against colombia. lots of smiles in training today, 22 of the 23 man squad trained, everyone except fabian delph, he's back in the uk after the birth of his third child. what a chance for gareth southgate ‘s side to go far in the tournament after the shocks we've seen. spain other latest giants eliminated so now no previous winners stand between england and the final. it looked like it would be straightforward for spain when there was that own goal by russia with 12 minutes gone but russia equalised before the break with a penalty. it was 1—1 after extra time, and it went to extra time, the russian goalkeeper was the hero, and then this penalty sparked the celebrations at the luzhniki stadium. and they will play croatia

in the quarterfinals after they beat denmark. denmark went head in the first minute thanks to your guns from huddersfield three minutes later croatia drew level, it finished i—i, later croatia drew level, it finished 1—1, with more penalties. the croatian keeper saved three, with ivan rakitic of barcelona sealing their place in the last eight. we couldn't see another big gun out today, could we brazil play mexico and our reporter will be watching. jon, you have to back the brazilians, don't you, but if this world cup is anything to go by form is out of the window completely! exactly, but i'm here to tell you why brazil should be the huge favourites. they are old foes, brazil and mexico, this will be their 41st meeting. brazil have history on the site, 22 victories, mexico only have ten wins. they have had the four world cup meetings and

mexico have never scored against brazil at the world cup. another fa ct brazil at the world cup. another fact as to why brazil should be favourites, they have never lost to central american or indeed north american opponents at the world cup. they have been growing into the tournament, starting badly against switzerland but with each game they have improved and neymar is improving, he came into the tournament injured. in the last game against serbia 119 touches, more than any other player on the pitch and some hairstyle news, he has changed his hair. neymar is no longer blonde for this game against mexico. i think that was the right move, it looks quite ridiculous in that game! of course mexico have seen that game! of course mexico have seen of the defending champions, germany, but they don't have a great record in the knockout stages, do they, mexico? they call it because of the fifth game. if they lose today it'll be the seventh

successive world cup when i have gone out in the last 16. they seem to get over this hurdle. before the game they have been saying all the right things, saying they preferred to play a favourite, because there is less pressure on them. when there is less pressure on them. when there is more expectation on us, they say, we play this well. mexico have had a good world cup so far, especially their first two matches, good world cup so far, especially theirfirst two matches, when good world cup so far, especially their first two matches, when they beat germany, one of the big wins of this tournament that really set the tournament alive. i think it's going tournament alive. i think it's going to bea tournament alive. i think it's going to be a really good game today. mexico feel the pressure is off them but maybe they can end this curse of the fifth game. jon, thank you, here is how you can follow the games today, this commentary of brazil versus mexico on radio live five, kick—off is at tbm. watch belgium against japan on bbc kick—off is at tbm. watch belgium againstjapan on bbc one at seven o'clock this evening. —— kick—off at

3pm. 0ne breaking sports story, the anti—doping case against chris froome has been dropped by cycling ‘s world governing body. he was under investigation after more than the allowed level of an asthma drug was found in his system. chris froome said he never doubted he would be cleared as he hadn't done anything wrong. he begins the defence of his tour de france title on saturday. that's all the sport, more in the next hour, see you later. thank you. the nhs in england is launching a new app, which it says could transform the way people interact with the health service. patients will be able to use it to book appointments, order repeat prescriptions and see their medical records. testing of the app will begin in september and it will be available to download in december. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says it will give people more control. the big change that is going to be happening in the next decade in healthcare is the technology revolution. massive innovations in medical care which will put patients in control of their own healthcare destiny. we will become with this the first

country in the world where every citizen will have access to their own gp records through an app. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones is with me. how ambitious is this, rory? how much of a difference will it make? it depends who you believe, jeremy huntand it depends who you believe, jeremy hunt and the department of health are pushing this is a big revolution, putting control in the hands of patients, every patient across england able to contact every gp surgery, get appointments, get repeat prescriptions, see health records, and so on. but since i've looked into this a lot of gps say that there is a lot of this out there already. the services online, a lot of people are able to go online to book appointments, and there are a number of apps, privately run once, but once that many gp surgeries years. the counter

to that from the department of health is, this is one app and it will be official, people will be more trusting of one central app than this patchwork of apps. but the jury than this patchwork of apps. but the jury is still out on whether it will make doctors and surgeries more efficient. that scramble that jeremy hunt talks about is a nightmare if you want to get an appointment, ringing atjust you want to get an appointment, ringing at just the you want to get an appointment, ringing atjust the right moment but and app is not going to create more hours in the day give gps more resources to deal with patients who wa nt resources to deal with patients who wantan resources to deal with patients who want an appointment. that is question, how many appointments will surgeries be willing to release to the app? and will there be any sort of intermediation? if you just go to the app and press a button recently

getan the app and press a button recently get an appointment? what a lot of doctors say to me is, there's a process by which someone calls and says, ian appointment, and they are spoken to, and if it is something simple sometimes they are asked to see a nurse and sometimes told they don't need to comment at all. the fear is, if this is relatively unsophisticated, you just need an appointment, you could get many more appointments when you need. one expert on this, gp, told me, only 30% of the people who think they need an appointment actually need one so you need an appointment actually need one so you must be careful there. thank you rory. rescue teams in northern thailand have moved closer to the spot in a flooded cave where they believe 12 boys and their football coach have been trapped for more than a week. there has been no contact with the group since it went to explore the tham luang caves, in the northern chiang rai region last saturday. divers are now advancing further underground because water levels are receding. 0ur correspondent jonathan head's outside the cave for us now. this has been going on for a long

time, jonathan, with absolutely no sense really as to whether those kids are still alive. but struggling to find their way out of that cave? there has been no contact with them in the early stages when maybe divers were able to advance far before heavy rain pushed the water levels up again and drove them up, and prince was seen on the walls. their bicycles are still blocked of in this direction, if we get the cameraman to point that we, where you see these soldiers walking, that is now cordoned off, that is the entrance to the caves where they went in and of these thickly forested mountains, where an enormous logistical operation is going on to find these boys. we don't know where they are but the guess is that if they got cut off when the waters rose suddenly on a saturday afternoon when they went in nine days ago, that they will have

gone to this high cave. and the divers who had an incredibly difficult ordeal getting through completed league flooded tunnels with no visibility —— completely flooded have got within a kilometre of the area but they blocked by a tunnel full of mud and silt at the moment, they've got some more underwater diving to do and then they were reached that area. if the boys are there they could have survived without food. it's not a bad cold. they should be water inside given the floods there. it's a thin hope that it is one that eve ryo ne a thin hope that it is one that everyone has been clinging to. and they simply cannot stop. the entire country is gripped by this. the government has thrown every resource it can add this. incredible amounts of police, army, helicopters, rock climbing and cave diving groups from all over the country, indeed one of the world, there are three british cave rescu e the world, there are three british cave rescue experts in the caves now, all working on the assumption that there is a possibility that the boys are still alive and could still

be saved. if they do get through to this dry area in the next day or two and find the boys alive although desperately hungry, the challenge will be to get them out because it has been so hard for the divers to get in. that is partly why they are putting such an emphasis on draining the water. we can hear the noises of their compressors filling up, supplying powerful the area but the problem is that over 10,000 litres of water per hour are being pumped out and that is bringing down the waters by a few inches every hour, it's a race against time because heavy rain is forecast for later in the week which could bring those levels back up before the divers have a chance to find the boys so there is a real sense of urgency now. thank you jonathan. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. downing street comes up with a new plan to try to break the deadlock in theresa may's cabinet over customs arrangements after brexit.

firefighters in lancashire are spending a fifth consecutive day tackling a huge blaze on moorland at winter hill. left—wing candidate andr s manuel l pez 0brador claims victory in mexico's presidential election — vowing to tackle corruption. i'm ben thompson with the business news. tesco says it is planning a "strategic alliance" with french retail giant carrefour, in an attempt to cut costs and offer lower prices to customers. the firms are battling growing competition from newer rivals in the grocery market including internet giant amazon. nearly 22,000 jobs have been hit on the uk's struggling high streets this year. figures for the bbc show that shop closures and retail administrations have left more than 7,000 people out of work. a further 9,500 roles are due to go through planned shop closures, while 5,100 are in doubt

at poundworld, which is currently in administration. it could take two weeks before supplies of carbon dioxide return to normal, the british meat processors association has warned. c02 is used to kill farm animals before processing and in packaging to keep meat fresh but is in short supply. a plant in billingham, county durham is due to restart on monday. more details on this job losses on the high street. you can't have missed the headlines about retail closures and big names disappearing from the high street. our team on radio 5 live's wake up to money programme have been number crunching...and if you add them all up you come to this — more than 20,000 retailjobs either gone or at risk. that'sjust the bigger names we've heard of. 7,000 have actually

have lost their jobs, a further 9,500 are due to go when stores close, and 5,100 are at risk at poundworld, which is in administration. no surprises for guessing that this is all to do with the fact that more people are shopping online. so how do retailers like tesco respond? well — more and more arejoining forces to fight back. tesco — the uk's largest retailer — says it's planning a ‘strategic alliance' with french retail giant carrefour — in the hope of cutting costs and lowering prices to customers. tesco boss dave lewis has said that the fall in the value of the pound, after the brexit vote, is pushing up prices and warned that failure to secure a deal with the eu by march 2019 deadline, could lead to higher food prices in the uk. so lots of pressures on retailers

and that has led to manyjob losses. in other business news, crude oil prices have fallen after president trump tweeted about discussing oil production with saudi arabia. the tweet suggests output could be raised by as much as 2 million barrels per day. however, the white house has now issued a statement backing away from specific numbers. the challenger bank monzo says losses soared last year after its banking ambitions led to a 336% surge in operational costs. the digital bank logged pre—tax losses of £33.1m in the year to february 2018, up from just £7.9 million a year earlier. and growth in china's manufacturing sector cooled off injune — according to an independent survey. this survey focuses on smaller manufacturing firms, and showed that new export orders shrank for the third straight month. so worries about the second largest economy and of manufacturing there is slowing what knock—on effects it could have around the world.

particularly important given the trade war escalating between the usa and china with other countries caught in the middle. these are what the markets are doing at the moment. some are essentially treading water, a lot of information but nothing solid, the ftse 100 a lot of information but nothing solid, the ftse100 is off by nearly 1% that has been hovering around that territory since it opened today. similar pictures in germany and france. until they have clear direction on what happens they'll be keeping a close eye on that trade war between the us and china. there isa war between the us and china. there is a really mixed picture as far as retail news is concerned. we'll have more business news this afternoon. see you later. scientists in denmark have developed an artificial ovary that could lead to improved fertility preservation treatment. the technique is aimed at women who are at risk of becoming infertile through cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which can damage the ovaries.

experts says the research is "exciting", but more tests are needed. we can cross now to professor nick macklon from the london women's clinic — he joins us from barcelona. thank you forjoining us. spillane first of all what is being done here? many women are faced at the important time and they are about to have a family with the bad news that they've got cancer. 0ne have a family with the bad news that they've got cancer. one of the great developments in the last few years is the possibility to preserve their fertility so that once they've finished their cancer treatment they can go on and have the family they want. 0ne can go on and have the family they want. one important technique has been the ability to remove one ovary before the lady starts chemotherapy or radiotherapy, freeze it and put it back later in life when she's ready to have a family. this works and a lot of babies have been born

from it. however the problem is that if you take an ovary from a woman with cancer and put it back later you might be reintroducing cancer cells. so what this new research suggests is that there might be a way to avoid reintroducing these cancer cells by treating the ovary in the wake which moves all the cancer cells and receding just the important part of the woman needs to be able to have a baby and have menstrual cycles, etc. the group in copenhagen says they can do this in the laboratory, they've taken this tissue with the eggs, but it into mice and have shown that the mice can get pregnant with this. what we need to know now is show that this works in humans. the exciting thing is, at the moment there were lots of women in the uk and around the world who had ovarian tissue frozen in this way but have been told we can't put it back yet because there is no safe way to do it. because there is a risk of reintroducing cancer cells

once more. but this technology means we might be able to do this in a way that doesn't have that risk and we might be able to help many more women have families after the devastating news that they have cancer. acute potential breakthrough. how quickly, if it works, as they are hoping in humans, could it be rolled out?” works, as they are hoping in humans, could it be rolled out? i think the paper being presented today says that in principle it will work. it certainly works in mice. we have learned that things get more complicated in the human, and we may need three or four years to be able to confirm its safety as well in the human because that is another issue. the way that this technology is developing, the speed of progress in this field would make me think this is something that will be available in the next figures. thank you very much, great to talk to you. thank you, bye bye. as russia revels in

football fever it is notjust professional players taking to the pitch, there's another world cup to be won over there, the granny world cup. the names of store, our team met the competitors. many ms miriam, my ages 65 years. i was sick, so to cope with blood sugar, it makes me feel right. to be here in russia i feel right. to be here in russia i feel so good. i'm on top today. chanting the grannies are playing football. they are enjoying playing. they fit. 0ur grannies are very dedicated,

by his bedside since he'd been back in scotland, with his wife eileen, we wa nted in scotland, with his wife eileen, we wanted to give him moral support and encouragement to come back to us. and encouragement to come back to us. we are so sorry that you are here to talk to us because of the news that sadly, he has died. i guess, obviously, you have been with his brother derek, as well, was also when the band. have you been thinking back to the early days of how you got together? tell us more about how it came about. we've all been talking to alan, obviously, he was on drugs to keep him stable and all that stuff so he wasn't fully there but he did join in the conversation every now and again, memories of the past, the time when i was like 17, before i evenjoined the band, we knew the guys in my

first band, we went to the pub a couple of times with them, bid illegally! peko was a true gentleman. a brilliant musician, he played bass, guitar, keyboards, accordion. he played all the instruments. he was a brilliant guy and never had a bad word to say about anyone. we will all miss him so about anyone. we will all miss him so much. we have been in tears for as long as you can... just like, the last 48 hours have been really bad, emotionally. of course, we understand. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. thank you. the headlines are coming up on bbc news channel. first we leave you with a look at the weather — here's simon king. thank you, lots of dry and sunny weather in the forecast for next week as well, no sign of any significant rainfall for any of us in the next fortnight. for the here

and now, lots of sunshine, this is a weather watcher photo from clacton on sea and another one in derbyshire, a familiar story. a lot of sunshine at the moment. we've got some cloud in the south—west of england with the possibility of some showers, some roving into the far north—east of england, this is the satellite imagery. for the forecast, this cloud will continue into the afternoon. for most of us a case of blue skies and sunshine. towards the south—west of england in particular around the isles of scilly, they may catch a shower or two, perhaps not as intense as yesterday but temperatures, 31 celsius in south east wales and the west country, a little cooler towards northern ireland, temperatures low to mid 20s. we may see clouds drifting

inland towards north—eastern england, otherwise temperatures similarto england, otherwise temperatures similar to the last week or so, about 11 to 15 degrees overnight. this is to stay‘s forecast. still a bit of cloud towards the north—east, that will burn back towards the coast, again the possibility of a shower in the south—west, sunshine for many of us on tuesday, those temperatures, the weather may be down a little in england and wales but still into the high 20s, warmer across parts of central scotland. high pressure is the culprit, the reason why we've got this dry weather as we go through this week. and for wednesday they will be very little change. still that nagging cloud from the north sea which will tend to burn away into wednesday afternoon, again the possibility of afternoon, again the possibility of a shower in south wales south—west

england, we may see showers in the north as well, otherwise it's a case of sunshine. for the rest of the week, still dry with sunny spells, temperatures for many into the low to mid 20s but temperatures in the high 20s across southern areas, one or two places exceeding 30 celsius once more. bye bye. this is bbc news. i'm joanna gosling. these are the top stories developing at midday. breaking the brexit deadlock? downing street says it's come up with a new model for handling customs after the uk leaves the eu. downing street said to unveil a new third way on brexit with a customs

plan that they hope will bridge the gap between brexiteers and former remainers. firefighters in lancashire are spending a fifth consecutive day tackling a huge blaze on moorland at winter hill. water companies urge consumers to cut down on their water usage because of the heatwave — with a hosepipe ban already in place in northern ireland. chris froome is free to ride in the tour de france after an anti—doping case against him is dropped by cycling's governing body. also coming up — it's day one at wimbledon. tennis lovers have been queuing this morning to see tennis stars in action — champion roger federer and the williams sisters are all set to play today. alan longmuir, a founding member of the bay city rollers, has died at the age of 70. good morning.

it'sjuly 2nd. i'm joanna gosling. welcome to bbc newsroom live. downing street is expected to unveil details of a fresh plan for the uk's future customs arangement with the eu later this week — ahead of friday's crucial cabinet meeting at chequers. its understood to be a distinct, new proposal after the government decided the two models previously discussed were neither practically nor politically deliverable. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. thanks. no surprise that ten downing st should come up with a new plan because the two previous proposals seemed to be floating rather lifelessly on the water. the customs partnership rejected by brexiteers because they say it will mean administering eu tariffs and effect remaining within the eu orbit. the maximum facilitation was rejected by former remainers because they say it

requires a border in northern ireland and involve difficulties and delay for business. so a third way is being proposed by number ten. what is it? we are told it is fixed —— distinct to the existing proposals and does not involve any extension of the transition period. more than that, all they will say is that there is a lot of speculation and some of it may be true. let me give you my speculation that is the downing street might be about to float a sort of cokie option, half m, float a sort of cokie option, half in, half out, underwhich float a sort of cokie option, half in, half out, under which we would remain under single market rules for goods but not services. the thinking possibly being that this would meet the concerns of former remainers who wa nt to the concerns of former remainers who want to ensure frictionless trade but it's also argue that it would open up the way for the uk to strike its own trade deals and the backdrop though to the tensions in the party

are hardly encouraging with jacob rees mogg, a leading brexiteers in the daily telegraph warning mrs may that if she backtracks over her self—imposed red lines there will be trouble, so much trouble that she could lose power and she could be at apophis the decades. and they are urging mrs may to stand up against the metropolitan establishment of fashionable society. and on the vexed issue of the irish boy —— border there is no insurmountable problem with the irish border and we need to call the irish bluff. that seems to have incensed former remainers with nicholas soames tweeting to jacob rees mogg quite simply, shut up. this was the message from the foreign office minister. alan duncan said. rees mogg's insolence is just minister. alan duncan said. rees

mogg's insolence isjust too much and risks the beijing government, party, country on themselves and the prime minister must be given maximum latitude and backing. the ideological right or minority despite the noise and should pipe jan will stop —— debasing government. i am joined jan will stop —— debasing government. iam joined by jan will stop —— debasing government. i am joined by david jones, half in, half out, would that sort of deal be sellable to you? clearly we don't know what the detail is so it's hard to express an opinion but as i understand it what is proposed is that we should align tariffs to eu tariffs and that that is the case it is hard to see how we can have a free—trade policy and therefore if that is what is proposed, i don't think it will fly. but we would surely be able to have a free—trade policy and services because it is suggested that they might not be part of any single market rules and regulations. services are not part of the

regulations at the moment and the thing is we should have total freedom of trade policy which means we should not be aligning our tariffs to eu tariffs and should be ina tariffs to eu tariffs and should be in a position to seek better deals with the rest of the world. so any move that seeks to align the uk with a single market from your perspective is a no—no? a single market from your perspective is a no-no? that is what the prime minister herself as promised and made it absolutely clear both after the record —— referendum and also in the conservative manifesto that the uk will not be part of the single market or the customs union or the european court of justice. market or the customs union or the european court ofjustice. those are her three red lines and i have no doubt she will keep to them. her three red lines and i have no doubt she will keep to themm her three red lines and i have no doubt she will keep to them. is it appropriate forjacob rees mogg to be threatening theresa may in terms of saying she risks losing power, splitting the party, being out of office the decades? jacob can speak for himself, as you well know, but it's fair to point out that the government has made their

commitments infer —— in terms of the three issues that was a contract we did make with the electorate and as a government we have to abide by that. what we have learned this morning is that the party remains profoundly split with the likes of nicholas soames telling jacob rees mogg to shut up and alan duncan accusing him of insolence. that is all we take from this? there are different views in the party that have been for many years so there is nothing new there. but i do think it is therefore people to point at the pledges were made to the electorate and if they don't keep to those pledges, it could be the case that there is a penalty to pay in future elections. how seriously do you consider the risk that friday will be more fudge time?” consider the risk that friday will be more fudge time? i hope it's not. i think the british position should

have been made clear at the last european council last week and we have to make our position clear to the european union and then we ought to them, look, this is our position and we expect a response from you. and if you're not happy, you understand you will have to make plans for a future outside the european union and with a free—trade policy. future outside the european union and with a free-trade policy. david jones, thank you for your time. number ten also helpfully observing this morning that they will have nothing useful to say on the subject until friday. we'll have to see. well, it won't stop speculating for days. thank you, norman. firefighters from across england are joining their colleagues on the burning moors of greater manchester and lancashire today. crews from tyne and wear, northamptonshire and shropshire are attempting to extinguish major fires on winter hill, above bolton, and moors around saddleworth, near 0ldham. ben norman, from lancashire fire and rescue service has been explaining the problems his team faces. the ground is very arduous conditions that they are working on,

so that creates its challenges. we are enjoying a fabulous summer period but it's not great for the firefighters or the fire itself, which is why we have the most aggressive fighting at four a:m., atfirst light. as the day gets hotter it creates problems for the firefighters and intensifies the fire and we will also see fires that we extinguish yesterday where we tried to dig out the peat and the fire beneath the ground, they will flare up again today and create significant problems for us. clearly the wind has picked up again at the scene, so that will drive both the fire and also the smoke, and clearly firefighters can't work in breathing apparatus in these conditions like in a domestic property, so it's a consideration for our firefighter safety in terms of where it is safe for them to operate and attack the fire from. kevin fitzpatrick has been at winter hill for us this morning and has described the task facing the emergency services today. this is the control centre for this

operation which is still a serious, ongoing incident. we are up on top of winter hill, in bolton, and smoke is still pouring across the moor lands, sweeping down the valley. firefighters, around a hundred of them, are up there trying to keep on top of the little pockets of fire which are increasingly starting to emerge. it was deemed a major incident on saturday when two fires on either side of the hill began to come together into one large fire. the strong wind swirling around was spreading it incredibly quickly and it is now covering around three miles square. the incidents down the road in saddleworth moor, around 30 miles to the east, that is a major incident and the army are still there but they believe they are on top of the fire, but as here, when the sun comes out and the peat heat up, that is when things reignite and spread with the winds,

so problems potentially ahead there and they are expected to be that a number of days. one other issue is that the police are getting stronger in their calls to the public to stay away from the situation at winter hill. increasingly people have coming down these thin roads to take photographs and get in the way of the fire engines and drones are a major issue. we have bbc footage from a drone and clearly we had permission to do that and that is to give the viewers an insight intojust how big a challenge this is as the fire spreads along the front line at winter hill, but increasingly people with their own drones have turned up and the serious risk is that they get in the way of the helicopters which have been coming over and dropping waterfrom the nearby reservoir. police had to speak to three people about that yesterday. so the sun is warming up here, as it has done every day in the last week or so, and the fire crews are up there, braced for another day

working hard, sweating, with smoke in their eyes. it's going to be some tough times ahead. water companies across the uk are urging consumers to cut down on their water usage because of the recent heatwave. severn trent is asking its customers in the midlands to avoid using hosepipes. on friday, northern irish water became the first utility company in the country to annouce a hosepipe ban, saying demand for water was a third higher than normal — as emma vardy explains. while people have enjoyed the sunshine outside, this is where the real work is going on. this is one of the northern irish water treatment centres which is operating at full capacity and going like the clappers trying to pump out every drop of water as fast as it can because of the huge peak in demand during the heatwave, and demand has just been exceeding supply. i am joined by maynard cousley from northern irish water. what sort of challenge are you facing? the challenge is the demand for water is unprecedented. the challenge is getting enough

treated water to supply the customers. the treatment works like this, and it is designed to cope with a certain amount of water and you cannot go over that volume. once you go over that volume, you risk the water quality and we cannot put out water that is not treated and to compliance standard. if the heatwave continues, what risk is there of more supply failures? we are trying our best to keep customers supplied and we are doing our best and we want to insure production is maximised. our 23 plants across northern ireland are at maximum production. so we have seen a hosepipe ban in place over the weekend. how long until it takes effect and eases the pressure? hopefully people will realise the situation that northern ireland water is in and do all that they can to help us. we have seen a slight reduction over the weekend and people will hopefully

take it to heart and stop using hosepipes and sprinklers where possible and only use water when essential. thank you very much. the hosepipe ban which continues this week is northern ireland's first hosepipe ban in 23 years and a number of water companies around the uk are also urging people to conserve water, take shorter showers, not overfill the kettle because with this weather continuing there could be other water supply failures. in mexico, the left—wing anti—establishment candidate andres manuel lopez 0brador is heading for a landslide victory in the presidential election. preliminary results and exit polls suggest he won about 46 percent of the vote. his three rivals have all admitted defeat and congratulated him on his victory. will grant reports from mexico city. andres manuel lopez 0brador has waited 12 years for this moment. having narrowly missed out on the presidency in 2006, this was a victory he savoured.

in many ways, he has waited a lifetime though. from the moment he burst onto the political scene as a left—wing activist, he clearly wanted the presidency. now, at the third attempt, it is his. translation: the new project of the nation will seek to establish an authentic democracy. we do not bet on building an open and closed dictatorship. the changes will be profound but will happen with a strict adherence to the legal established order. there will be corporate freedom, freedom of expression, of association and beliefs. the campaign might have been the bloodiest in mexico's history. but the vote itself passed off peacefully, at least in most polling stations. in aragon, a low—income neighbourhood in mexico city, queues were orderly ambushers patient. keen to exercise their democratic right to show their displeasure to the governing party.

the word on the lips of many people in mexico is change, notjust change in the party and power but the president but a more fundamental shift in the political and economic direction of the country. in particular, change is wanted in those parts of mexico where the drug cartels rather than the state rules. mr 0brador‘s picture is largely because he promised to tackle the ingrained corruption and violence. economically as well, his supporters hope you can redress the balance one of the most unequal societies in the americas. it is a daunting task ahead, but now his supporters are delirious with joy. he and his party faithful have decimated the two main parties in mexico, and in the process, completely redraw the political map of the country. downing street comes up with a new plan to try

to break the deadlock in theresa may's cabinet over customs arrangements after brexit. firefighters in lancashire are spending a fifth consecutive day tackling a huge blaze on moorland at winter hill. water companies urge consumers to cut down on their water usage because of the heatwave — with a hosepipe ban already in place in northern ireland. sport now, here's hugh woozencroft. england have train tonight before they make their way over for their last 16 tie against colombia. it was all smiles in the session today as 22 of the 23 man squad trained with only fabian delph missing as he is backin only fabian delph missing as he is back in the uk after the birth of his third child, but what an opportunity it is the gareth

southgate's side to go far in the tournament after the shocks we have seen so tournament after the shocks we have seen so far at the world cup. spain are the latest giants to be eliminated which means there are no previous winners standing between england and a place in the world cup finals. and it looked as though it would be straightforward for spain when there was an own goal from the russian with 12 minutes gone, but russian with 12 minutes gone, but russia equalised just before the break with a penalty from dzyuba. 1-1 break with a penalty from dzyuba. 1—1 after extra time, and igor akinfeev was the russian hero, denying koke and then iago aspas, sparking wild celebrations at them was nicky stadium. russia will play croatia in the quarterfinals after they beat denmark. the danes went ahead in the first minute, and barely three minutes later croatia with level with a bit of luck for mario mola mandzukic. the game finished 1—1, more penalties before

subasic saved 34 croatia and rakitic sealed their place in the last eight. —— three four croatia. the chris froome anti—doping case has been dropped by the governing body of cycling. he had been under investigation since september when a doping test failed twice the allows level of illegal asthma drug in his sample. froome said he never doubted he would be cleared as he knew he had done nothing wrong and he begins the defence of his tour de france title on saturday. that is all sport now. more on the bbc sport website including use of england's netball side up to second in the world rankings, and we will have more for you at 1:30 rankings, and we will have more for you at1:30 p:m.. rankings, and we will have more for you at 1:30 p:m.. we will stay with sport now. wimbledon starts today — as roger federer begins his attempt to win a ninth wimbledon title on centre court this afternoon. and serena williams, who was heavily pregnant this time last year, is also in action on the first day of the championships. andy murray announced yesterday that he was pulling out of the tournament,

saying he needed more time to recoverfrom surgery on his hip. holly hamilton is at wimbledon for us. that is such a shame about andy murray, isn't it? absolutely. speaking to some of the fancier a lot of them travel to see andy murray despite the fact they knew that it was always in doubt and we've been talking about the last few weeks, will he, won't he do wimbledon? he has been recovering from the hip injury saw him limp off court at wimbledon and he has been working through that with surgery in january that he was still confident he would make it in time for the grass court season. wimbledon seems to be the one he was aiming for but sadly he dropped the bombshell yesterday on social media, on facebook, posting that he does not think he is up to a five set match, so think he is up to a five set match, so it is about the long—term for him

and he's looking ahead and feeling confident that he will be able to play in the hard court season later in the year of ah—nau, as you say, a lot of people annoyed there is plenty more to see at wimbledon. roger federer, later, of course, and the sun is shining, so plenty to enjoy. the sun is shining, always a bonus. extraordinary, roger federer, looking for his ninth singles win this year at wimbledon. you are right, it's incredible. speaking to people here that is the man they wa nt to people here that is the man they want to see, ninth title, extending his record and proving why he is considered the greatest of all time and people are looking and thinking, will there be a repeat of the final ten yea rs will there be a repeat of the final ten years ago? it is hard to imagine that this could actually happen for him. this could be his year, the year he repeats that and gets his

ninth title and the man stopping him will be rafael nadal, could you imagine that final repeated, ten yea rs imagine that final repeated, ten years on, the one that had us all grit, and it would put him back to number one. he's been doing the rounds here and already getting stick for his outfit yesterday when he turned up in his suit. 0ne stick for his outfit yesterday when he turned up in his suit. one of the journalist was quite taken saying he was handsome, but i don't think he's worried about that. serena williams backin worried about that. serena williams back in action after having a baby and a bit of controversy about what has happened with her seeding this year. absolutely. a lot of people talking about this and glad to see her back as she is an icon at wimbledon. she has a record number of titles, but a lot of controversy coming back after giving birth to a daughter, alexis, last september and she has been seeded here despite the fa ct

she has been seeded here despite the fact she had people concerned that some other work people could have that place but we do want to see her backin that place but we do want to see her back in action and speaking to us, at the bbc, she said the best place here it is so much history here and she gets very emotional and she stepped back a couple of days ago and took a round with her daughter and took a round with her daughter and said she was actually welling up just by being here. you can see what it means. i would not dismiss her because she is back after pregnancy. she will definitely be one to watch andi she will definitely be one to watch and i think everybody would love to see her in the women's final. thank you very much, more later. let's look at some of today's other developing stories an mp has called for bouncy castles in public areas to be temporarily banned after the death of a young girl in norfolk. according to eyewitnesses, the inflatable trampoline exploded flinging the girl into the air. she was taken to hospital but died of her injuries. an investigation involving the health and safety executive, local authority and police is under way. the rights of eu students

to study in england will be extended beyond brexit, the government has announced. it means those starting in the autumn of next year will pay the same tuition fees as home students throughout their degree. the scottish government had already made a similar commitment for eu students starting at scottish universities. the singers cheryl and liam payne have announced they are splitting up after more than two years together. the former girls aloud star, who's 35, and one direction member, who's 24, made almost identical announcements on twitter. the pair have a one—year—old son called bear. and the basketball star, lebron james, is joining the los angeles lakes as part of a four—year deal worth £116 million. many consider the 33—year—old the best basketball player in the world. james has played in eight consecutive nba finals, and joins the lakers from the cleveland cavaliers. the blue planet series has made us aware of the impact plastic is having on our oceans. but now it seems noise is also an issue for sea life. ricky boleto reports

from the solent. we have a technical problem with the report, sorry about that and we will try to bring you that a little later. the leading british choreographer dame gillian lynne has died — she was 92. dame gillian began her career as a ballet dancer but achieved her greatest success in the theatre world, devising the dances for lord lloyd—webber‘s cats and phantom of the opera. she worked on more than 60 shows in the west end and broadway. lord lloyd webber has paid tribute, writing: "three generations of the british musical owe so much to you." as russia revels in football fever

it's not just as russia revels in football fever it's notjust professional players taking to the pitches, there is another football cup to be one, the grammy world cup and the name says it all. our world cup team caught up with the competitors. my aged 65 yea rs. with the competitors. my aged 65 years. i was sick, with high blood, sugar diabetic. to play football, it made me feel all right. to be here in russia, i feel so made me feel all right. to be here in russia, ifeel so good. i am on top today. the grannies are playing football. they enjoy playing and they are very dedicated to the sport. they are enjoying and saving everything from

their pension to make sure they honour their meets when they have to play. they are here to play a friendly match, a match with the russian grannies. please, please, women, they must come to the ground to get something, like me, get well, like me. today! am fit. today we have played so hard, the result from today was a resort —— was a draw. no worries winning, but we are happy. i know it is a friendly, and it is the friendship, so friendly, and it is the friendship, so that's why i like it. thank you. let's go back to the report we try

to bring you a moment ago about the impact of sound pollution on the fish living in our oceans. ricky boleto reports from the solent. listening in on life underwater. this small device is picking up sounds we rarely get to hear, and it's helping scientists establish how too much noise is stressing out ocean wildlife. whales and dolphins, we know, have very sensitive hearing. and we know sound causes stress, it affects their migration behaviour, it affects their reproductive behaviour. we have then looked at fish. fish also have ears and are affected by noise. today we joined professor steve simpson, a marine biologist who has dedicated much of his time to studying and collecting sounds from the sea. very close to loud sources of noise,

we see animals with ruptured eardrums. whales and dolphins. we see fish with their swim bladders burst because of the noise. last year he featured on the bbc‘s blue planet ii. you hear pops and grunts and gurgles and snaps. there is a whole language underwater that we are onlyjust starting to get a handle on. but that language is getting lost in an audio fog of man—made noise pollution. offshore construction and busy shipping lanes are interfering with the way marine life communicates. back on the solent, the engines are off. at last, peace and quiet. but it isn't long before steve's hydrophone, which detects underwater audio, picks up a catamaran ferry that is well over a mile away. really loud, isn't it?

i mean, that's totally swamping anything out. if you were trying to communicate, if you were a dolphin in the area, you wouldn't make yourself heard over the noise of that boat. solving the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans will take many years. but when it comes to noise pollution, steve says it can be reversed. working with the shipping industry we are now helping to design boats where the sound is insulated in the hull, and where the propeller is making less noise through cavitation. so ships can become quieter. and now, a massive community—based science project is about to launch, with the aim to map noise pollution all over our oceans. scientists are asking volunteers to help them out. they want people who have ships and other vessels to be their eyes and ears on the sea. and they are asking them to take regular audio recordings of what is going on underneath the water, and then feed that data back to scientists on dry land.

it is hoped that will give steve and his team a better idea on how to protect these beautiful creatures. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello, if you dip your toe in the solent to this afternoon it will be a welcome change from the heat. some showers forecast, if view to clip south—west england, otherwise dry warm and sunny the most areas, could eastern scotland with cloud but better afternoon for northern ireland and yesterday with sunshine, allow for some showers in south—west england this evening and overnight, the cloud breaking up but missed and cloud pushing along the eastern coast. not as muggy as last night, temperatures between 12 and 17. a similar day for most today, dry and

warm, plenty of sunshine, again the chance of a shower but most areas will have a dry date, the orange colours show where the warmest temperatures will be, always call on the eastern coasts but top temperatures tomorrow reaching 28 or 29 celsius. you're watching gmt on bbc world news. our top stories. downing street says it has developed a third model for handling customers after brexit. details have not been revealed but ministers will discuss the proposal at chequers on friday. it is clear that the moorland fire in lancashire could burn for five more days, around a hundred firefighters tackling the blaze. the first is a hosepipe ban in northern ireland the 23 years stays in place, water companies urge consumers to reduce their usage because of the heatwave. danish scientists say they have made significant progress

towards developing artificial ovaries to help women left infertile through illness. chris froome is free to ride in the tour de france again after an anti—doping case against him is dropped by cycling's governing body. the grenfell tower inquiry has resumed this morning and has heard from a firefighter who was pa rt has heard from a firefighter who was part of the crew on the scene last june when 72 people were killed. 0ur correspondent tom burridge is that the inquiry, can you bring us up to date? thomas abell has given evidence, he was one of the first firefighters on the scene, he drove one of the first fire engines to the scene. one of the first fire engines to the scene. after carrying out initial duties linked to being a driver, he was then sent up to the floor above, to the fourth floor, the fifth floor, because the fire started on the fourth floor. he went into the flat above and was confronted by a scene flat above and was confronted by a scene with thick black smoke, in the

confusion his body had to withdraw, another firefighter had to withdraw from that flat so thomas abell, who we heard, he had huge amount of experience fighting fires in high—rise buildings, he was suddenly in the flat on his own and after a period of time of time of trying to douse water onto the flames, he realised he had to get out because he feared for his own safety. when you listen to this remember he is in a dark flat filled with thick black smoke as the fire rages on the exterior of grenfell tower and the firefighter you will be hearing from is on his own. at this point i was basically dragging myself along the floor, trying to drag a hosepipe and with me that i had taken in. that's not easy. i could hear some commotion, some shouting, muffled shouting. from what i imagine would be the stairway. i think i made and

someone be the stairway. i think i made and someone shouting, i can't find my partner. that's obviously referring to me. sol partner. that's obviously referring to me. so i essentially followed the voices as a guide to make it back out to the door, to the stairway. and what was your level like at that stage, do you remember?” and what was your level like at that stage, do you remember? i don't remember, i have seen it on records but i did not know at that time. had your whistle gone off? no. given the conditions in the lobby when you exit of the flat did you alert anyone else on that floor to the presence of fire in the flat, in other words flat on the fifth floor? could you repeat the question? which mike given the conditions you encountered on coming out into the lobby of from that flat on the fifth floor did you alert anyone in the

other flats on the fifth floor to the fact that there was a fire on the fact that there was a fire on the fifth floor? you didn't? is there a reason? to be honest i was ina bad there a reason? to be honest i was in a bad way, i think i said in my statement that my legs felt like jelly. the adrenaline had worn off andl jelly. the adrenaline had worn off and i was pretty much shot trying to carry everything out with me. i was dragging my way out because i thought i might not get out of there. thomas abell, giving a sense of the dangers firefighters were confronted with when they were fighting the fire inside grenfell tower. it also tells you that within half an hour of the fire crews being on the scene the idea of complementation, the idea that the fire would be contained in the building had already failed. the london fire brigade kept telling people to stay in their flats for roughly two hours after the first emergency call. we've also heard this morning from thomas abell about the mobile data terminal. it's a

sort of database of information which fire crews have and on their way to an incident they can tap into that to see about potential risks. thomas abell was asked if you knew whether anyone had spoken about data coming from that system, telling them about potential risks about the building, about grenfell tower and the materials used in the refurbishment. he did not recall anyone talking about those risks at all from that database. in his written statement he is also spoken about seeing a man lowering tethered bed sheets from the 17th floor and he had to shout to this man to tell him not to try to escape by that method because it was too risky. he also describes carrying a ladder to the mezzanine level up to granville mac and basically putting it up to a window on the fifth floor to rescue two men at of the building. he must

dramatically describes going out of the building and looking up to get the building and looking up to get the sense of fire flames had spread, and he remembered thinking it was going up like a rocket fuel. the firefighter thomas abell has finished giving evidence today and we will hear from another office collea g u es we will hear from another office colleagues as firefighters give evidence this week. thank you, tom. the nhs in england is launching a new app, which it says could transform the way people interact with the health service. patients will be able to use it to book appointments, order repeat prescriptions and see their medical records. testing of the app will begin in september and it will be available to download in december.

the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says it will give people more control. the big change that is going to be happening in the next decade in healthcare is the technology revolution. massive innovations in medical care which will put patients in control of their own healthcare destiny. we will become with this the first country in the world where every citizen will have access to their own gp records through an app. rory kathlyn jones, rory kathlynjones, our technological correspondent, feels this may not be the game change it is said to be. jeremy hunt and the health service of —— the health department are pushing this as a game changer, everyone can see their health records and so on but since i've looked into this a lot of gps have told me, hey, a lot of this is out there already. there are a lot of services online. a lot of people can go online to book appointments. and there are a number of apps, privately run apps, 1's that a lot

of gps surgeries use. the response from jeremy hunt and the health department is that people will be more trusting of one central app. think the jury is still out on whether it will make doctors's surgeries more efficient. at am scramble that jeremy hunt surgeries more efficient. at am scramble thatjeremy hunt talks about is a nightmare if you want to get a about is a nightmare if you want to geta gp about is a nightmare if you want to get a gp appointment —— the 8am scramble. making sure you ring at the right moment. although an app won't create more hours in the day or give won't create more hours in the day orgive gps won't create more hours in the day or give gps surgeries more resources to deal with those who do want an appointment on the day. that's it, how many appointments will surgeries be willing to release to the app? they are sometimes cautious about offering them online. will there be any sort of intermediation? if you just go to the app and press a button would recently get an

appointment? because what a lot of doctors say to me is that there is a process by which lives wants an appointment,, process by which lives wants an appointment, , sometimes they process by which lives wants an appointment,, sometimes they are told they don't need to come in at all. so the theory is that if this is not sophisticated, you press a button and get an appointment, you could end up getting more appointments that you need. one expert said that only 30% of the people who think they need an appointment actually need one so you have to be careful there. rory kathlyn jones. the have to be careful there. rory kathlynjones. the german interior minister is reportedly threatening to resign, creating or instability for the coalition government. he has been pushing for tougher approach to asylu m been pushing for tougher approach to asylum seekers and was reported to be unhappy with last weeks european union deal on migration. this report from andrew planned. he is part of chancellor merkel‘s coalition

government but has become one of the loudest critics as well. now it is the leader of the socialist party and the german interior minister has said he could resign. an agreement was made among eu leaders last week to build new reception centres to. talks were prompted by italy and malta turning away rescue boats that are picked up immigrants crossing from north africa. angela merkel and ideas building my current processor centres were much harder stance than her previous approach but proposals hammered out in brussels proved a tougher sell back home. it is not yet clear whether mr seehofer‘s offered to resign will be accepted. angela merkel will be keen not to

wea ken angela merkel will be keen not to weaken her coalition, though, and avoid new elections which some fear could embolden the far right in the country and lead to political instability both in germany and the rest of europe as a whole. andrew plant. my colleague david eads is in berlin and brings this update. every time you mention a problem with the coalition government here, the moment, the question is, is this the end of angela merkel. i don't think we are there just yet but it could be the end of a partnership between these parties, angela merkel ‘s party and the sister party based in bavaria in the south. they've been in union for almost 70 years. for many eclipses of the writing is on the wall, i'm joined by the deputy director of the german marshall fund. thank you forjoining us. the

issueis fund. thank you forjoining us. the issue is immigration. the problem is one tiny aspect of the bigger picture. enough to sink that coalition government? it's certainly something that horst seehofer, the interior minister, has drawn a line in the sand, saying, we can't take migrants that have already been registered in your countries according to dublin rules, and angela merkel is saying, no we must make this exception because then will cause a chain reaction which would be bad for the sanctity of the european union. there are other things on the periphery as well, the csu is not happy with chancellor merkel accommodating emmanuel macron when it comes to a common euro zone budget so a couple of things are piling up and they are worried coming in germany they think they are the bulk of conservatism right now. cusiter showdown, it's become a german word, they are using it all the time! if mr seehofer pushes this to the limit and says he is

resigning will this mean that his party goes with him out of government and angela merkel is left to pick up the pieces and form a new coalition? not necessarily. you would think that the party would say, we should follow him and leave the coalition but they also know it's vital for the csu. they face a state election in bavaria and if they were to break apart, they could say we will also run in bavaria and that will be borrett a threat to them. they've just had an election, them. they've just had an election, the government has barely been in office, i don't think people reckoned with her stepping back so early in the term. so whether it colla pses early in the term. so whether it collapses model stays together angela merkel is still in post which will leave a lot of people, that's another chip away at her authority ina much another chip away at her authority in a much weaker governmental position anyway. how long can you

gone operating like that?” position anyway. how long can you gone operating like that? i think most people realise that even after the election in september she came out the winner at the weekend, but she still enjoys over 50% of support here, there doesn't seem to be an alternative at the moment. there are others looking from behind that could perhaps step up but not at this moment. and i think she knows that. she has definitely weakened but on the other hand she is framing this as defending the liberal international order and with presidentjump international order and with president jump on the international order and with presidentjump on the other side most people want her to stay and see this through, and they all know that this through, and they all know that this will probably be the last term and don't want her to exit the stage necessarily just yet. thank you for that. that is the question, a lot of people can't even remember life before angela merkel, 12 years in office, could mean 15 or 16 if she

stays the course and today that feels like a big if. david eads reporting. the headlines. downing street says it's come up with a new plan to break the deadlock in theresa may ‘s cabinet of customs arrangements after brexit. firefighters in anguish spending the fifth consecutive day tackling huge blaze on more land at winter hill. and water companies are urging consumers to cut down on water usage because of the hot weather. a hosepipe ban is already in northern ireland. rescue teams in northern thailand say they have moved closer to the spot in the flooded cave where they believe 12 boys and their football coach have been trapped for over a week. there has been no contact with the group since they went to explore the tham luang caves in the northern region of shanghai last saturday, divers are now going further underground because water levels are receding. 0ur south—east

asia correspondent jonathan levels are receding. 0ur south—east asia correspondentjonathan had sent this update. that has been no contact with them in the early stages when navy divers could advance quite far before heavy rain pushed up the water levels and drove them back. there were handprints seen on them back. there were handprints seen on the walls. their bicycles are still locked in this direction, if the cameraman can point in see the soldiers walking, now that is cordoned off. that takes you to the entrance of the caves. that's the way they went in and of these thickly forested mountains. this is where an enormous logistical operation is going on now to find these boys. they don't know where they are but their guess is that if they are but their guess is that if they did get cut off when waters rose suddenly on the saturday afternoon that they went in nine days ago that they could have gone in this high cave, in this high cave complex, and the divers who had an

incredibly difficult ordeal getting through flooded tunnels with no visibility and very muddy water have now got to within a kilometre of that area. but they blocked by a tunnel filled with mud and silt up the moment, they have to clear that away. they have more underwater diving to do and then they reach that area. if the boys are there and could have survived, even without food, it's not that cold, there could be what insight given the floods that have been there, it's a thin hope, but one that everyone has been clinging to an basically can't stop. the country is gripped by this. the government has thrown every resource that it can at this. incredible resources of police, army, helicopters, rock climbing and cave diving groups from all over the country, even the world, three british gave rescue experts are in this cave now, working on the assumption that the boys are still alive and could still be saved. if they get through to the strike earlier in the next couple of days and find the boy survived but hungry, the big challenge will be getting them out because it's been

so getting them out because it's been so hard that the divers to get in. this is partly why they are putting such emphasis on training the water. the noise you can hear around me, some of it is tanks supplying the air buta some of it is tanks supplying the air but a lot of distance pumping out to of litres of water, which is bringing down the water levels by inches every hour. it's a race against time because heavy rains forecast for later in the week, they could bring the water levels up. they could even drive the divers back before they can find the boys so back before they can find the boys so there is now a real sense of urgency. scientists in denmark say they've developed an artificial ovary which could lead to improved fertility preservation treatment. the technique is aimed at women who are at risk of becoming infertile through cancer treatments, including chemotherapy

and radiotherapy, which can damage the ovaries. experts says the research is "exciting", but more tests are needed. many women are faced, at a crucial time when they have decided to have a family, with the bad news that they have cancer. 0ne a family, with the bad news that they have cancer. one technique that has been developed as a way to preserve their fertility so that once they've finished the cancer treatment they can have the family they want. 0ne treatment they can have the family they want. one important technique has been the ability to remove an ovary before the lady starts chemotherapy or radiotherapy, took three set and put it back later when she's ready to have a family. this has been shown to work and have been a lot of babies born from it. however there's a problem and that is if you take an ovary from a woman who has cancer and put it back later you might be cancer cells. what this exciting new research suggests is that there might be a way to avoid free tojuicing that there might be a way to avoid free to juicing cancer cells, that there might be a way to avoid free tojuicing cancer cells, by treating the ovary in a way that removes treating the ovary in a way that re m oves a ll treating the ovary in a way that removes all the cells and then just receding in the eggs, just the important part the woman needs to have a baby and to have menstrual

cycles. the group in copenhagen have shown that this works, that they can do this in the laboratory. they have taken this tissue with the eggs, they put it into mice and shown that they put it into mice and shown that the mice can get pregnant, and what we need now is is to show that this works in humans as well. the exciting thing is that at the moment there are a lot of women in the uk and the world who have had ovarian tissue frozen in this way, but have been told, we cannot get but it back because there is no safe way to do it. we are worried we could be introducing cancer cells again. this technology could mean we could do this ina technology could mean we could do this in a way that doesn't have that risk and could help many more women have theirfamilies risk and could help many more women have their families after the devastating news of having cancer. so it is a huge potential breakthrough. how quickly, if it works, as they are hoping, in humans, could it be rolled out?” think the paper that is being presented today says that in

principle it will work, it certainly works in mice, we have learned that things get more complicated in humans, and we may need three or four years to be able to confirm its safety a nd four years to be able to confirm its safety and inhuman because that is another issue. we need to show that it is safe. the way that the technology is developing, the speed of progress in the field makes me think this will be available in the next few years. campaigners are calling for pet theft to be classed asa calling for pet theft to be classed as a specific crime because of the moment it is treated no differently to having your bike or phone stolen. more than a thousand people have signed a petition calling for tougher penalties, the issue has debated today. earlier the victoria derbyshire grams but to the mp who helped organise the petition, he was asked how serious the problem was. we're waiting to see what the minister will say, if there are plans to make it a specific offence.

what we also want is the sentencing council to change its guidelines because there's too much emphasis placed on the value of the dog and therefore it's being treated as a property crime, it is not bad, it is a memberof the property crime, it is not bad, it is a member of the family, very often, and the way we deal with it... i've got a dog and that's worth about 50p but is priceless to me. it's devastating to owners when dogs are stolen from their owners and the law should reflect that. so should the sentencing guidelines, which do not. right, why should the law reflect that? affaire our most precious possessions, aren't they. the sentencing council includes cars and bicycles but not pets and in the reeve third act they referred to mushrooms and wildflowers but not domestic pets. it is a simple amendment that we are asking for. the bay city rollers guitarist alan

longmuir has died aged 70. he had recently returned to his home city for edinburgh the treatment after falling ill on holiday in mexico. the singer, the founding member of the band, died with his family around him. ispoke the band, died with his family around him. i spoke to the band ‘s lead singer les mckeown who was with alan longmuir during his illness. we've all been talking to alan. obviously he's on drugs to keep him sta ble obviously he's on drugs to keep him stable and all that stuff so he wasn't fully fair, but he did join in the conversation every now and again. memories of the past, the time when i met in one i was 17 before i evenjoined the bay time when i met in one i was 17 before i even joined the bay city rollers, he knew the guys in my first band. we went to the pub a couple of times with him, a bit illegally! but alan was a true gentleman. a brilliant musician, he played bass, guitar, keyboards, accordion. he played all the instruments, he was a brilliant guy with never a bad word to say about anyone and we are all going to miss him so much. we have been in tears

for as long as you can... the last 48 hours have been really bad emotionally. in a moment it will be time to the news at one with ben brown. first the weather. hello, the first day of wimbledon and the forecast is set to be dry, sunny and very forecast is set to be dry, sunny and very warm forecast is set to be dry, sunny and very warm and it's likely to continue into the second leg of the tournament. you could apply that forecast to a large swathe of the country because there's very little rain. blue skies and sunshine in derbyshire earlier, if it is rain you are after, many will want some, the chance of showers across south—west england, ahead of some show was already in the channel. more cloud for parts of eastern scotland, more in the way of sunshine for northern ireland compared to yesterday. temperatures will be up a notch. you can see by the orange colours where the highest

temperatures will be, perhaps nudging 30 celsius across parts of wales and south—west england. this evening still the chance of showers across south—west england, that cloud tending to break up but the mist and cloud might return to the coasts overnight, the most it is a dry night, not as warm and muggy as last night, temperatures between 12 and 17 celsius. all again tomorrow, this area of high pressure not going anywhere fast, the eastern coasts will be cooler with the wind and at times we could still find mist and low cloud pushing onshore, always somewhat cooler here but for most another drive fine day with plenty of sunshine, a chance of showers again, more in the way of high cloud turning sunshine hazy. perhapsjust down a degree tomorrow but still feeling very warm in the sunshine with temperatures widely between 24

and 29 celsius, as i mentioned a lwa ys and 29 celsius, as i mentioned always that bit cooler for eastern coasts. we a re always that bit cooler for eastern coasts. we are keeping a close eye on the forecasts for wildfires which burned across lancashire. sadly, no rain to be seen in this long—range forecast. all i can offer is that the winds will be right as the week goes on and will change direction to more of a westerly. as you can see in the rest of the week we will still be under the influence of the high—pressure keeping cloud and rain to the west and the south of us. for the rest of the week mainly dry and sunny, very the rest of the week mainly dry and sunny, very warm the rest of the week mainly dry and sunny, very warm with light winds and a small chance that we could see and a small chance that we could see a shower. theresa may tries to break the brexit deadlock with a new plan for customs arrangements with the eu for customs arrangements with the eu. it comes amid new infighting in the consevative party — brexiteer mps warn the prime minister against any backsiding. we'll have the latest from westminster, as ministers prepare for a crucial cabinet meeting on brexit later this week. also this lunchtime: firefighters say it could take them

weeks to deal with the moorland blazes in greater manchester and lancashire. as the heatwave contines, warnings the hosepipe ban in northern ireland could be extended to parts of england. running out of road — campaigners say rural bus services are in crisis. i'm live at wimbledon as play starts at the start of the tennis
