of destiny with colombia. and coming up on bbc news: the four—time tour de france winner, chris froome, has had his anti—doping case dropped by the cycling world governing body, the uci, having been under investigation since september. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. downing street has come up with a new plan to try to break the deadlock in theresa may's cabinet over customs arrangements after brexit. with time running out to agree a deal with the eu, the latest proposals will be discussed by ministers at a crucial meeting at chequers on friday. it comes amid fresh infighting within the conservative party on the issue, with brexiteers warning the prime minister against any backsliding. here's our political correspondent, tom barton. how close britain's relationship

with the european union should be is one of big questions facing those negotiating brexit. but the possible a nswe i’s negotiating brexit. but the possible a nswers to negotiating brexit. but the possible answers to that question have split the government. up to now, two options have been on the table. one, a close customs partnership after brexit. the other, a looser arrangement that would rely op technology to minimise border checks. both though have the cabinet divide over which would be best and now no ten is considering a renewed proposal in the hope of uniting ministers. it is not clear what the details of proposals will be, but writing in the daily telegraphjacob reese mogg government minister sir alan duncan,

hit back on twitter, accusing jacob rees mogg of insolence.” hit back on twitter, accusing jacob rees mogg of insolence. i think it is fairto point rees mogg of insolence. i think it is fair to point out that the government has made firm commitments in respect of those three issues. that was a contract that we did make with the electorate and i think we have to abide by that. at the at the end of the week the cabinet will meet to try to find a proposal they can all agree on. ministers admit it won't be an easy day. there are some difficult and important decisions to be made, not least on the customs arrangements. that is what this meeting is about at the end of the week and i'm sure at the end the cabinet will get behind a solution and that is what we will seek to

secure. and that is what we will seek to secure. it might be difficult, but getting something agreed by her cabinet should be the easy part. the prime minister's next challenge will be persuading eu leaders that the proposal is something that they too can accept. our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. norman, theresa may has a new customs model — can she get her party to support it? well it is an all mighty big ask, but she has no options, the two customs plans she floated back in august look dead in the water after one was kiboshed by the brexiteers and the other by former remainors. now downing street is floating a third way. we don't have the details of it. all no ten will say is there is speculation about and some of it may be true. let me give you my

speculation. it could be a sort of hokey—cokey arrangement, where we are half in half out of the customs arrangements and abide by eu rules with goods, but not services, so meeting the concern of remainors who wa nt meeting the concern of remainors who want frictionless trade and meeting the aspirations of brexiteers to strike our own trade deals. even if that manages to bind both sides together and that is a big if, then the question is will brussels buy it? the risk i think is that brussels may well view this as a variation on that well—established british past time of cherry—picking. otherwise known as having your gateau and eating it. thank you. firefighters say it could take them weeks to deal with the flames on moorland across lancashire and greater manchester. fire crews from across the country are now working around the clock tackling

a blaze on winter hill near bolton. and they're still trying to keep under control fires on land near staleybridge. a grassland fire is also burning on the staffordshire moorlands. danny savage is on winter hill for us. this is the co—ordination point for lancashire fire and rescue and you can see different vehicles coming by. several fire can see different vehicles coming by. severalfire engines. their activities are being co—ordinated from here. the fire's on the hill behind us and still smoke drifting across lancashire. this fire is on a par in size with the one on saddleworth last week. meaning many is square miles of moorland has gone up is square miles of moorland has gone up inflames is square miles of moorland has gone up in flames over the last eight days. day 5 of the fires on the moors above bolton. dozens of firefighters

from across northern england are here to stop the blazes getting any bigger, but it's a difficultjob. we've got over 120 firefighters out fire fighting on the moor. we retract slightly from our operations during the hours of darkness, but as of four o'clock this morning, we're back in offensive fire fighting operations and using our specialist equipment to try and extinguish this huge scale ongoing fire and try and bring back some normality to the fell. from above, the extent of the damage can be seen. these are pictures from a bbc news drone given permission to fly. several square miles have been destroyed around winter hill. the suspicion is that this was started deliberately. the view from above has also led to some shocking observations of other people starting new fires. a couple of days there was a nearby moorland hill and there was a report of a fire that had started there and the helicopter went to put some water on it and drop some water on it and i understand that the helicopter

believes, the pilot believes, he seen people actually setting fire actively there and then which is quite astonishing. dealing with this potentially huge arson incident means fire engines negotiating narrow moorland roads to get to the fires. the suggestion of them being started deliberately infuriates the mayor of greater manchester. i think itjust beggars belief, doessn't it, to hear that people may have been coming on to this land over the weekend, adding to the burden of the emergency services and basically taking risks with people's land, property — it is just an unbelievable state of affairs. helicopters were once again deployed today. under a fierce sun and blue skies, the deluge needed to put these fires out is nowhere in sight. up up on the moors they're dig trenches

to stop the fire spreading. there is many days of work here yet on these moors. thank you. the winner of the presidential election in mexico has promised to tackle the corruption and violence that have plaged the country. andres manuel lopez obrador, an anti—establishment left winger, says he'll deliver ‘profound change' after his landslide victory. us president donald trump has congratulated mr obrador and said he's looking forward to working with him. relations between the two countries have been soured by mr trump's promise to build a wall along the border and make mexico pay for it. will grant reports from mexico. andres manuel lopez obrador 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 though he's waited a lifetime. from the moment he burst on to the political scene as a left—wing activist, he clearly wanted the

presidency. now, at the third attempt, it is his. 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 and voters patient — keen to exercise their democratic right to show their displeasure to the governing party. the word on the lips of many voters in mexico is "change". notjust change in the party in power or 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 lopez obrador‘s win is largely because he promised to tackle the ingrained corruption and violence. economically too his supporters are hopeful he can begin to redress the

balance in one of the most unequal societies in the americas. it is a daunting task ahead, but for now his supporters are delirious with joy. he and his supporters have decimated the two main parties in mexico and in the process completely redrawn the political map of the country. and willjoins us live from mexico city. a comfortable victory for the new president but some tough challenges — not lleast relations with donald trump's white house. that's right, huge challenges 5 both at home and abroad. domestically his main idea is he wants to unpick and break this corruption problem that exists in mexico, sort of split the close relationship between state institutions in various parts and the drug cartels and thinking local

mayors and police officers in many parts who often are part of drug cartels. that is going to be very difficult. as you point out, internationally he is going to have to work with donald trump at a time when relationships are probably at their lowest in modern history. they may get on in certain areas. they do coincide, particularly with the north american free trade agreement. immigration, drug trafficking, the wall, they may cause the two men to but heads. thank you. as the hot weather continues across much of the uk — customers in the north west of england have been warned to use water sparingly — to try and avoid a hose pipe ban. in northern ireland the first ban in 23 years is in place — after days with very little rain. northern ireland water says it cannot treat water quickly enough to satisfy demand.

emma vardy reports. this is the hottest summer northern ireland's seen for decades. north woodburn reservoir provides belfast and near by towns. water usage has reached an all—time high. this is one of 23 water treatment plants in northern ireland. and while the reservoirs have a healthy level of water in them, plants like this are all operating at full capacity and can only treat the water and pump it out so quickly and demand is exceeding supply. some areas have seen exceeding supply. some areas have seen a exceeding supply. some areas have seen a drop in pressure and water loss. we are doing our best to move water from one zone to another. but we don't know what the weather holds, what the forecast is. we will

be keeping the hosepipe ban in place. just for as long as that ta kes. place. just for as long as that takes. the the hosepipe ban is the first in northern ireland for more than 20 years. tankers have been borrowed from other businesses to help. we haven't been using the hose, haven't, i have a pool, so i have kept the water in the pool and any water i need out of the pool i am watering the plant with it. on out am watering the plant with it. on ourfarm, all am watering the plant with it. on our farm, all the water comes from a well and if that well dries up, we will have to bring water from other sources and a lot more work. for farmers there are other problems, those grazing livestock say they are struggling to replenish the grass. in the east where they haven't had rainforfour in the east where they haven't had rain forfour weeks, in the east where they haven't had rainforfourweeks, grass in the east where they haven't had rain forfour weeks, grass is drying up, not growing and farmers have had to start to supplement the grass with winter fodder. the weather

forecast to continue, so too will the appeals to customers in other areas affected across the uk to keep water use to a minimum, or risk losses in supply. the time is 1.15pm. our top story this lunchtime: theresa may tries to break the brexit deadlock with a new plan for customs arrangements with the eu and coming up... the choreographer behind dozens of broadway and west end musicals, who has died at the age of 92. coming up on bbc news: all smiles at england training this morning with gareth southgate's squad now making their way to moscow for tomorrow night's world cup last 16 tie against colombia. the eyes of the tennis world are on swi9 on the first day of the 2018 wimbledon championships. roger federer is on centre court,

trying to win his ninth title at the all—england club. and serena williams, who was heavily pregnant this time last year, is also in action on the first day of the championships. simon mccoy is there. thank you. play got under way and arrogant. roger federer is first up on court defending the men's title. —— an hourago. on court defending the men's title. —— an hour ago. a break of serve already for roger federer. our sports correspondentjohn watson looks ahead to the tournament which won't feature britain's best hope. hopes of another andy murray triumph at london sw19 will have to wait. the two—time wimbledon champion withdrew from the tournament yesterday. after hip surgery and 11 months out, murray only made his competitive return two weeks ago. on social media he said he had to look at the bigger picture and wimbledon will be without him

for the first time in more than a decade. in tennis, you're right at the thick end, playing at the highest level against some of the best players in the world. that is not easy. you do just have to be very patient and take it day by day. despite andy murray's absence and a football world cup which is well under way in russia, the crowds queueing here for tickets on the opening day of these championships, proof that there remains a huge appetite for the highs and lows of what is to play out on the grass courts here at wimbledon in south—west london. we have got a few up and coming british players, kyle edmund and cameron norrie. who knows? they could be the next andy murray. serena. she is the queen. i love her — she has been so amazing in the press recently. she is empowering for women full of especially as a new mother. serena all the way. we are from new york. i cannot wait to see

the big comeback. she will come back with a bang. the 2016 champion took time off following the birth of herfirst child. the lack of tennis has seen a fall in ranking. but the all—england club has ta ken the unusual step of making her the 25th seed, providing a potentially easier route through the draw. for me to come back and be ranked where i am, it was not where i was when i left. i feel that pregnancy should not be treated as an injury. it is the mostjoyful time in your life. it was the mostjoyful time in my life. i feel like wimbledon have done a wonderfuljob of acknowledging that. so, the stage is set. and, under blue skies, the crowds here wait to see who will rise to the talent is of the next fortnight. now, for years, she was the royal face of wimbledon, the duchess of kent, who met most of the great players. she handed out trophies to many of them including, in 1993, to the losing finalist in the women's

final, jana novotna. the duchess of kent in an exclusive interview has been talking about that moment. i think it is truly the best in the world. and so, i don't think anybody, however hard they try, can quite beat the way wimbledon's done. and i am privileged to have seen all that. everything has to be perfect. every detail. and it shows. the atmosphere is... it is electric, yeah. it is wonderful. jana novotna in herfirst wimbledon final, certainly not disgraced. and overcome with the emotion of it all, which i am sure is the reason that she lost after being 4—1 ahead in the final set. ijust remember from the far side of the net, her face crumpled. it is the natural thing, isn't it? god almighty, you have built yourself up for this.

you've played wimbledon finals and you didn't make it. imust be... and in public. and she did what comes naturally. cried. nothing wrong in that. you put your arm round her. well, that's what you do when people are crying. a lot of people at the time said, "my word, a member of the royal family!" we are quite normal people. we do hug people who cry. we don't say, "there, there, do stop crying." no. it was a natural reaction. completely. and then she did. and that must have been quite a remarkable moment, having been through what you have been through, both of you actually. yeah. particularly her. do you remember how it went? i think we laughed quite a lot. been there, done it. we became quite firm friends. did you realise at the time just how

part of the championship you were? no, i was so frightened at the idea of going down on the centre court. frightened? terrified. yeah. you never looked nervous. i think once you've got your feet on the grass, you're all right. it's sort of the waiting to go down there. you have been there... don't. i won't. you have been there a while. thank you. what are the moments that really stand out for you? even just walking into that box is totally incredible. um, and seeing... you are so close, you don't realise how close you are until you actually sit there. and they are there. and you can... that's amazing. moments that really stand out. i mean, of course, that one you mentioned earlier with jana novotna. i think, just the excellent play,

the honour of watching some of our best players play. pete sampras, john mcenroe, becker. so many of them. that's very kind of you to talk about it. thank you. my pleasure. i mean that. well, the duchess of kent will be among many thousands of people hear it wimbledon over the coming two weeks. you can see it wimbledon over the coming two weeks. you can see more it wimbledon over the coming two weeks. you can see more of that interview on the bbc news channel throughout the afternoon. before i hand back, federer is 4—1 up in the first set. back to you. thank you. campaigners say budget cuts by local councils have left bus services across england and wales in crisis. a report by the campaign for better transport claims funding for buses has almost halved since 2010. the government insists it provides £250 million each year to support services. victoria fritz reports.

it is the most popular form of public transport in britain. 5 million busjourneys form of public transport in britain. 5 million bus journeys are form of public transport in britain. 5 million busjourneys are made every year. half are in london. while the city services are thriving, the picture outside the capital tells a different story. the bus connects passengers to jobs and schools, shops and hospitals. it is a lifeline to students and pensioners in particular, people who do not want or cannot use a couple of the funding that local authorities in england and wales received to front roots has fallen for eight consecutive years and that is putting pressure on the whole network. over £182 million has disappeared from bus budgets since 2010, a decrease of 45%. almost 200 routes altered or withdrawn in england and wales in the last year alone. are you going to york? ticket sales pay for only part of this

journey. it depends on council subsidy and the bus company being reimbursed for those travelling on a free bus pass. in whitby, volunteers have stepped in to provide services up have stepped in to provide services up to the moors, where people feel abandoned. i think that somebody like us will always be needed and we are happy to do it. but, we do not really wa nt are happy to do it. but, we do not really want to have to keep taking over failing bus services really want to have to keep taking overfailing bus services because that should not be the case, should it? campaigners say the government must wake up to the crisis is hitting local services before late. the solution is to have proper funding and for the government to have a national coach investment strategy. more people travel by bus than railand strategy. more people travel by bus than rail and that already has a national strategy. the government says it has given local councils extra powers to work with bus companies to bridge the funding gap. but it is more money, not power, that councils say they need to keep route open. the government has unveiled

a new nhs mobile phone app — designed to put patients in contact with their gps. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says the app will be available from december to everyone in england. here's our technology correspondent, rory cellan—jones. at this manchester surgery, it is a typically busy monday morning with plenty of people wanting appointments. this practice already offers lots of information and services online but, could a smartphone app make things more efficient? we have never had an nhs app that makes it this accessible and easy. the health secretary says the new nhs app is part of a technology revolution that will transform the health service. the app, available to everyone in england from december, will allow you to book appointments with your gp, get repeat prescriptions, and see your health files held at the surgery. i hope it will save a lot of time for gps, so that they then have more time for their more complex patients, who need perhaps longer than ten minutes.

at least at the beginning, the nhs app will be pretty unsophisticated and it will be entering a crowded health app market, with some services that are pretty slick. briefly describe the symptom that is worrying you most. babylon allows you to check your symptoms. other apps allow you to book appointments with gps. back at the manchester surgery, this doctor is not convinced that the nhs app will be a big improvement on what is out there already. there are already two apps available that people can use today. patient access as well as evergreen life, which provides that functionality they are talking about. so, patients have been able to do it. it is more about that relationship and building support structures, both here and also in the community. every gp practice in england has been told it has to be ready for the app by december. what gps are hoping is that it doesn't encourage people to book appointments theyjust don't need. rory cellan—jones, bbc news. the world cup now.

the dressing room and ran down and stayed on the stairs. this is gillian, aged 25, dancing for the bbc. we ring tom reed. is it wake—up time in new york? yes. 30 years later, she was the choreographer behind a string of west end hits. and 30 years after that... you notice, i get down in a very funny way. that is because of the metal hips. her morning routine had not changed a bit. i met her during rehearsals for a ballet and, aged 88, with two new hips, she took me through staying fit the gillian lynne way. i do all of this. ifile my nipples, something i will tell you about afterwards. i am always trying to teach people that, if they only file their nipples, they're back will remain strong, and not like that.
