you would be putting your make up on and, if they whistled twice, it was standby. if they whistled three times, you got the hell out of 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. —— their back.

you know, you have to keep these legs limber. you have to keep your crutch open. and you don't give up. i think there's only one word for it... inspirational. a lifetime of dance. dame gillian lynne. dame gillian lynne, who's died aged 92. time for a look at the weather. still hot and steamy out there? it is indeed. at wimbledon most people are wearing sun hats. good advice. the forecast over the coming days as for dry, sunny and very warm conditions. likely to last into next week ‘s. i can apply the forecast to a large swathe of the country. blue skies in derbyshire earlier. the chance of a few showers in the south—west. more in the wave cloud across cornwall earlier think ——

compared with yesterday, we could see a few showers. the showers will be quite well scattered. a much brighter day for northern ireland. more in the way of sunshine here for is where we have the deep orange colours that is where we are expecting the highest temperatures this afternoon, widely in the mid to high 20s celsius. a few spots getting to 30, maybe 31. cooler on the east coast or the far north of scotland. for most it will be dry. the cloud in the east of scotland will be in and break. some low cloud will be in and break. some low cloud will creep back on shore. not as warm and muggy as last night. high pressure is the theme of this forecast. with us tomorrow, dominating the weather. still an easterly winds to bring a cooler feel some eastern coasts. you may notice a few showers in the south—west of the uk. some of those could move into devon and cornwall.

most could move into devon and cornwall. m ost pla ces could move into devon and cornwall. most places will have a largely dry day. temperatures, if anything, down a notch. you probably will not notice it. still feeling very on the post with the breeze off the sea. in the sunshine, widely between 25 and 29 celsius. i wish i could offer the chance of showers for those fighting the wildfires. very dry and sunny. the winds will be lighter as the week wears on and eventually turning round to more of a westerly direction producing something fresher feeling. for direction producing something fresherfeeling. for much direction producing something fresher feeling. for much of the country as we go to the end of the week, it will stay dry and sunny for the just the chance this cloud could push into parts of scotland and northern ireland bringing something cloudier and cooler. 0therwise, northern ireland bringing something cloudier and cooler. otherwise, for most, cloudy and sunny and very warm. thank you. that's all from the bbc news at one. so, it's goodbye from me and, on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s

good afternoon. it's 130, here is the latest sports news. it's day one of wimbledon, let's go to holly in wimbledon, roger federer is in action, how is his campaign starting? very well so far, he hasn't been on court long and he's already taken the first set. use playing his serbian opponent and he got such a warm welcome. roger federer coming here for his ninth wimbledon title, a record extending title if he gets it. one of the most popular players, as you would rightly imagine. all the fans are hoping to see him, they hope he will

make it all the way to the finals, he's on centre court right now, taking the first set against dusan lajovic, it's looking good. serena williams plays later, but right now it's williams plays later, but right now its slow and stevens taking an donna vekic. yes, a lot of people are excited about serena coming back after giving birth to her child but sloane stephens is someone that eve ryo ne sloane stephens is someone that everyone has been talking about, she won the us open and the miami 0pen, she made the final of the french open so she made the final of the french open so some she made the final of the french open so some people think she is the one to watch. she is on court one, taking on the croatian donna vekic. someone who is outside the top 50 in the world, and seems to be struggling in the first set. stevens

looks to be struggling, vekic was serving for the set low i have just been told that vekic has taken the first set. some people had very high hopes for sloane stephens but she seems to be struggling already on the first day of wimbledon. plenty more action to come, it's not over yet. and drama on the outside courts where harriet dart of great britain has taken krystina pliskova to a final set. absolutely. there was some drama on court 12. harriet dart, ranked 171 in the world and one of six female wild cards at wimbledon this year, making quite an impression on court 12. i think we can go there now. she is playing karolina pliskova, somebody expected

to make it to the quarterfinals, she took the first set 7—6, but then there was some drama on court, when harry and took a tumble and her trainer looked very concerned, at that point she had been making a bit ofa that point she had been making a bit of a comeback in the match, but she went on to take the second set 6—2. so we are definitely keeping an eye on that, it would be incredible if harriet dart but a win, we don't have andy murray this year but we are keeping an eye on british competitors, you can follow all the action on the red button and online as well, there are three streams or you can keep an eye on roger federer on centre court, don't miss at! thank you, holly. england have been training this morning before they go to moscow for their last 16 tie against colombia. 0r to moscow for their last 16 tie against colombia. or 22 of the 23

man squad trained, except fabian delph was in the uk after the birth of his third child but what a chance now for england to go as far as they can now for england to go as far as they ca n after now for england to go as far as they can after the shocks we have been seeing after the world cup. england have had only two wins in the knockout stage since 1990. chris froome's anti—doping case has been dropped by the world governing body of cycling, last september doping test found twice the alert level of an illegal asthma drug in his system. the cyclist said he had no doubt he would be cleared because he knew he had done nothing wrong. he begins the defence of his tour de france title on saturday. that's all the sport, more sport news for you later. thank you. 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. andrew plant reports. he is part of angela merkel‘s

coalition government but has become one of the loudest critics. now horst seehofer, leader of the christian socialist union party and the interior minister of germany has offered to resign over angela merkel‘s approach to immigration. at a summit in brussels last week an agreement was reached among eu leaders to share migrants more evenly across the european union and build new reception centres as well. the talks were prompted by italy and malta turning away rescue boats that are picked up migrants crossing to europe from north africa. angela merkel‘s ideas for building migrant processing centres were already a much harder stance compared to her previous open—door approach. but the proposals hammered out in brussels proved a tougher sell back home. it is not yet clear

whether mr seehofer‘s offer to resign will be accepted. whether mr seehofer‘s angela merkel will be keen not to weaken her coalition, though, and avoid new elections which some fear could the country's far right and lead to political instability both in germany and the rest of europe as a whole. andrew plant. my colleague david eades is in berlin and has 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 cdu and the csu, a sort of sister party based in bavaria in the south. they've been in union for almost 70 years. for many it looks as if writing is on the wall. i'm joined now by the

deputy director of the german marshall fund. thank you forjoining us. the issue is immigration. the problem is one tiny aspect of the bigger picture. is this enough to think that coalition government?” mean it is certainly something that horst the interior horst seehofer, the interior minister, a memberof horst seehofer, the interior minister, a member of the csu, has drawn a line on, saying, we cannot ta ke drawn a line on, saying, we cannot take migrants who have been registered in other eu countries. angela merkel says we must make an exception because then we'll cause a chain reaction which would be bad for the sanctity of the european union. so there's a bit of a showdown on. other things on the periphery, it's notjust the migration crisis. csu is not happy with chancellor merkel accommodating the french president. they think they are the boardwalk of conservatism in germany now. i've discovered that the word "showdown"

is a word in german now! if mr seehofer says he will resign, does that mean his party will go with them, out of government, pick up the pieces and try to form a new coalition? not necessarily. you would think that the party would say, ok, we should follow our elder statesman and leave the coalition but they also know it's existential for the csu. they face a state election in bavaria and in future if they were to break apart, the cdu would say, ok, we were also running in bavaria and that would be a threat to the csu. i think there is angela merkel fatigue, but i don't think people reckoned with stepping back so early in term. whether or not it collapses or stays together, angela merkel is still in post which will please many people that it's

another chip away at her authority in already a much weaker governmental position anyway. how long can you go on operating like that? people realise that after the election in september she came out the winner, she still enjoys over 50% of support here. there doesn't seem to be an alternative at the moment. 0thers seem to be an alternative at the moment. others are lurking from behind that could perhaps step up although not at this moment. and i think she knows that. but she has definitely weakened but the other hand she's also framing this as a defence of the liberal international order. and with president trump on the other side most people also want angela merkel to stay and see this through, they'll know this will probably be her last term and don't necessarily want her to leave the stagejust necessarily want her to leave the stage just yet. we will see what happens. thank you very much for that. that's the big question, a lot of people can't even remember a life

before angela merkel! i2 of people can't even remember a life before angela merkel! 12 years in office, could stretch to 16 if she stays the course. and today that feels like a big if. thank you. david eades in berlin. rescue teams in northern thailand say they've 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 south east asia correspondent jonathan head sent us this update from the scene. there has been no contact with them in the early stages when navy divers we re in the early stages when navy divers were able to advance quite far, before heavy rain pushed the water levels up again and drove them back. handprints were seen on the walls, bicycles were still locked in this direction, if we get the cameraman to point in that way, where you see

the soldiers walking its now cordoned off, that takes you to the entrance of the caves, this is the way they went in and of these thickly forested mountains. that's where an enormous logistical operation is now going on to find these boys. they don't know where they are that the guess is that if they are that the guess is that if they got cut off when the waters rose suddenly on that saturday afternoon nine days ago when they went in, that they will have gone to this high cave, and the divers who had an incredibly difficult ordeal getting through flooded tunnels with no visibility and muddy water have now got within a kilometre of that area but they blocked by a tunnel filled with mud and silt at the moment, they have underwater diving to do and then they were rich that area. if the boys are bare and could have survived without food, it isn't that cold here, there should be water inside, it is a fairly thin hope that it is one that everyone here has been clinging to. they

simply can't stop. the entire country is gripped by this. the government has thrown every resource that it can at it. we have incredible amounts of police, army, helicopters, rock climbing and cave diving groups from all over the country, indeed the world. three of britain's best cave rescue experts are in those caves now. all working on the assumption that there's a possibility that the boys are still and could be saved, if they get through to this dry area and find that the boys are alive but desperately hungry, the big challenge will be getting them out because it has been so hard that the divers to get in and that is why they are putting an emphasis on training the water. air compressors are filling up around me, some machines supplying power to the area but also pumps are pumping out thousands of litres of water which is bringing water level standby

inches every hour. it's a race against time because heavy rains forecast for later in the week that could bring up the water levels and could bring up the water levels and could even try those divers back before they can find the boys. so a real sense of urgency now. jonathan head on the scene of the cave rescue attempt in thailand. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. theresa may tries to break the brexiteer blog with a new plan for customs arrangements for the european union. —— the deadlock. firefighters say it could take weeks to deal with the more land blazes in lancashire. and the warning is that the hosepipe ban in northern ireland could be extended to parts of england. good afternoon. i'm maryam moshiri with the business news.

tesco says it is planning a "strategic alliance" with french retail giant carrefour, to cut costs and offer lower prices to customers. the firms are battling growing competiton 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 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 packaging to keep meat fresh, but is in short supply. a plant in billingham, county durham, is due to restart on monday. 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 more than 20,000 retailjobs either gone or at risk. that'sjust the bigger names we've heard of. of that 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. this is all to do with the fact that more people are shopping online. so how do retailers 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 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. earlier we spoke to madelyn postman, managing director at leidar. so in the uk we have the big four grocery chains, tesco, sainsbury‘s, asda and morrisons. and of course sainsbury‘s and asda are in advanced talks sainsbury‘s to buy asda. then we have the hard discounters like aldi and lidl and also amazon. a com pletely aldi and lidl and also amazon. a completely new type of company coming into the market. amazon is in talks to have an alliance with morrisons. so tesco is facing a lot of pressure from these new shifts in the market. this is a big transitional deal that tesco and carrefour have made —— a traditional deal. not very innovative in terms of business yet at the same time the bottom line is that people will have

less to spend and people talk with their wallets. so by discounting in particular their own brand private label products, 50% of tesco sales and brand products, about 25% of car for sale is our own brand, and they wa nt to for sale is our own brand, and they want to increase that to about 33%. so by including this disc and they can really leveraged their position in the market. that was madelyn postman speaking to us earlier. some unexpectedly good news, in a manufacturing sector moved upwards in may although the industry is still subdued. the latest purchasing managers index showed a reading of 54.4 managers index showed a reading of 54.1; last month. that's higher than the month before, also slightly higher than expected. the survey also revealed that sentiment has been impacted by global trade bodies. joining us now is jane foley, senior fx strategist, at rabobank. jane, why is this index important,

what does it tell us about the state of the sector? all these purchasing managers reports are important because the forward looking. 0fficial because the forward looking. official data looks behind us, with these surveys they ask purchasing managers what they think will happen and that gives us a clue into the future. as you said, this survey was better—than—expected but some of the detail was more worrying. for insta nce detail was more worrying. for instance over the second quarter of this year as a whole, it was the slowest growth released since the end of 2016. not particularly encouraging. as you have said even though the war positive signs with respect to employment, as is said, the positivity index was at a seven—month low, and not only were people worried about global trade, they were worried about high import prices, and the price of sterling, sterling weakening, making import costs higher and brexit also came

up. they said plenty for purchasing managers to worry about. and plenty for the bank of england because it is figures like these that these quys is figures like these that these guys look at closely when making the decision. yes, it earlier in the year the bank of england warned that they would be hiking interest rates again. in april they pulled back because the economic data was a bit too soft. the markets have come to the conclusion that they probably wa nt to the conclusion that they probably want to normalise interest rates further but they need better data to do that. everyone in the market focusing closely on uk data now. where does this leave the pound? the state it didn't do much the pound. normally a better—than—expected rate would lift sterling but right now the market is concerned about the politics and brexit, also, there was too much detail in the survey, it made it to disappointing to give sterling much of a boast. thank you

very much indeed, jane foley. let's look at today's of their business news. 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. 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. that focuses on smaller manufacturing firms, and showed that new export orders shrank for the third straight month. a quick look at the markets, not a

great start to the week, the ftse 100 affected by worries about trade wa rs 100 affected by worries about trade wars and of course the future of brexit weighing upon investor minds. back to you, ben. thank you. see you later. portraits of four generations of the royal family will go on display to mark the prince of wales' 70th birthday. sketches of the queen mother, the duke of edinburgh as well as the duke of cambridge and the duke of sussex will be displayed at buckingham palace over the summer. the pictures are from prince charles' personal collection and are among more than a hundred pieces of work on show. time to look at the weather prospects, how it will be in the next few days. dry and hot and sunny for the next few days, possibly also into the

second week of wimbledon, plenty of sunshine, i'm having trouble moving my graphics on a little but hopefully they will catch up. here we are, dry and sunny, temperatures in the high 20s and the light breeze, you could apply that forecast to almost anywhere in the country. this was the scene in derbyshire, blue skies and sunshine, if it's rain you're after, and many people are, there's a chance of some showers across the far south—west of england, you can see some medium and high level cloud in cornwall this morning. more cloud across eastern scotland, these showers in the channel pushing their way up towards south—west england and a much brighter day for northern ireland compared to yesterday, plenty of sunshine, you can see these deep orange colours, the highest temperatures through the day, perhaps as high as 30, maybe even 31 celsius in a line from wales towards east anglia. always call of the eastern side of scotland, a cool 13 celsius in limerick this afternoon.

allow for a few showers across this evening and overnight, most will stay dry, a fairly quiet night, the cloud breaking up for scotland, some mist and low cloud returning to the eastern coast. not as muggy as last night, low temperatures 12 or 13 celsius. high pressure is the theme of the forecast this week. an easterly wind tomorrow will lend a cooler view to eastern coasts and a few showers lingering in the south—west, a chance of a feel for south—west, a chance of a feel for south—west england but again many places having a dry day. the sunshine hazy at times, more sunshine hazy at times, more sunshine across scotland tomorrow but always cool and eastern coast, head inland, further west, that's where we'll see the highest temperatures, perhaps a little lower than today is still widely between 25 and 29 celsius, warm across the far north—east of scotland. i wish i could bring showers to those fighting the wildfires around

greater manchester but it stays absolutely dry this week. strong sunshine, temperatures in the mid high 20s. the winds will be lighter later in the week and coming from the atlantic so fresh about high pressure dominates this week, just a little bit more in the wake of cloud, moving into parts of northern ireland and scotland so always cooler here. elsewhere, dry, sunny, still continuing to feel very warm. hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy at wimbledon. today at 2: trying to break the brexit deadlock — downing street says it's come up with a new model for handling customs when the uk leaves the eu. 100 firefighters are now tackling what they say is an ‘apocalyptic‘ moorland blaze in lancashire. limit your water use orface a hosepipe ban — the warning to households in north—west england. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport.
