tennis organisers say they were surprised at fifa's decision to schedule the football final to clash with the men's singles final. the mall online, it is a dilemma for me. i love them both. with me is priya lakhani who's founder and ceo of century tech. we will talk about the sport in a second. let's start with this story which is really worrying, these individuals who are now in hospital fighting for their lives, exposed to novichok. in the same hospital that had to deal with the skrypals. given how quick they were to respond. this is what is amazing with the nhs. the skrypals have recovered and this couple is obviously with the same doctor. they sent the samples to the specialist facility to analyse this

and this is terrifying for people in salisbury and will chair a area. there is lots of speculation. —— wiltshire. there is so much speculation about what happened. we don't actually know enough. it is very important to say that we don't know much detail about this whatsoever. a lot of questions are being asked about the fact that, are they're still traces of novichok, which was behind the attack in march, which was sometime ago, and if there are still tracers, what does it mean? yes, they have said that it does it mean? yes, they have said thatitis does it mean? yes, they have said that it is safe and places are safe, and maybe the clear up was not as safe as we thought it was, which is very worrying, but they think they are no links between this couple and the skripals, or any russian background, so we just have to allow the services to do theirjobs, stay in the area, listen to the right advice and see what comes.

interesting the timing of everything in the middle of the world cup which of course, the host is russia, and prior to the world cup there was a discussion about what does this mean for english fans in russia, how it will all work. this is not something russia will want, they don't want distraction from the world cup, which looks accessible from their point of view, so, guess, not something they want, to make british citizens harmed as a result of this as well, then it puts our by minister ina as well, then it puts our by minister in a difficult position. yes, we will have to see what happens. watch this space and we will certainly do here on the bbc. this is an important point, trump reversing an obama era policy on affirmative action in schools, in colleges to have a diverse intake of students, affirmative action, positive discrimination, i have to admit it is tricky. is tricky and

the rise of this, cases have become significant in the us, where white stu d e nts significant in the us, where white students have sued the university having not got into the university, now i am having not got into the university, nowiama having not got into the university, now i am a victim of reverse discrimination. here are some stu d e nts discrimination. here are some students who got into university of texas, there was a case, the stu d e nts texas, there was a case, the students that i got a better gpa than these students, but we know the gpa is not... sorry, the grade point average. the high—tech score. what we know is it is not the only success we know is it is not the only success factor in a student. 80% variance in college success attributable to different factors other than test scores. this was brought in by obama, it is an obama policy about promoting diversity. there are universities that don't consider race as a factor. this is a huge discussion in the uk as well with cambridge and oxford seen as the two most famous universities internationally. they are sought

after by international students worldwide wanting to get in. and yet there is a lack of diversity. a lack of students. yes and they have another issue which is that they are accused of not having enough stu d e nts accused of not having enough students from disadvantaged backgrounds. not just race. students from disadvantaged backgrounds. notjust race. it is a different issue in terms of what people say about oxbridge. the stu d e nts people say about oxbridge. the students who get into these universities, you mustn't forget them, were race has potentially been a factor or not, it is like the women issue, we want to be in university for merit and notjust because we are part of the io%... that is why it is tricky because i find it hard to figure out where i am on this when it comes to the quota imposed, there is always the issue of if the woman is on—board because they have to have a woman on the board, or if she is there because she deserves to be there. it isa because she deserves to be there. it is a tricky one to figure out. one thing to say, the attorney general jeff sessions said in a statement,

he said in the current administration we are bringing in the rule of law which is about equality for all citizens as well and that is why obama put this forward. the headline is "obama era policies" and what is this actually about? it is a tricky one as you say. i am not sure it is positive or not. it is the cat and the stick. what works and what doesn't work. let's move on. we have talked about this. i would like to unpack it further. billboard about the move on the part of the european courts to basically put the onus on the likes of youtube and facebook to pay up for any copyright infringement. they can for any copyright infringement. they ca n afford for any copyright infringement. they can afford it. some of the smaller tech companies just can't and they don't have the resources, time or the money would you say to be across what the users of their platforms are doing. a complete balanced view

of this is either run a tech company andi of this is either run a tech company and i was a privacy barrister for the press. you have to look at the comment forums and what happens if someone comment forums and what happens if someone defamed someone in a forum and who is liable for that. what we are used to is when there is a complaint, here for instance, if there is a complaint about something on youtube, if it should not have been uploaded, when there is a complaint the internet service provider would have to look into it and if they see an infringement they have to take it off. the only time they are liable is when they don't ta ke they are liable is when they don't take it off. this will do is make it difficult to manage. 400 hours of video uploaded onto youtube every minute. it is so labour intensive to go through that. what will be the outcome? the european parliament committee support this. it has to just be formalised. what will it mean for the artist? it is terrible for small companies. the fact is we

shouldn't be uploading copyrighted material to the general public without the right permission. that is what is right and wrong. you have to go back to what is right and wrong. artist don't make a penny and they rely on their content and their talent. if their music video is not shared at all because people are worried about copyright infringement, is that not worse for them? how many artist became really famous on myspace? they put their things up and they were picked up by scouts. we don't want to stifle creativity. imagine a young artist saying i can't do this because i can't afford it. i think there is a balance. from my point of view they have the right perspective. all right. ok. we are not sitting on the fence on that one. doctor in demand, ba bylon fence on that one. doctor in demand, ba bylo n to fence on that one. doctor in demand, babylon to open private gp surgery, a virtual gp surgery. i must admit i thought it is a great idea i don't

have time to go to the doctor. and they are talking about architects as well. i don't know how it's going to work. everyone uses their phones. the health service is struggling. interesting how this is on the anniversary. absolutely. lots of people are concerned about this and one of the reasons people are concerned about this is because if you look at how surgery is funded, the chronically ill are traded off with the healthy young people who might walk into the surgery. what happens is 79% of surgeries that use this technology, 79% of people who use technology between 20 and 39 yea rs use technology between 20 and 39 years old, surgery is dealing with the i% of chronically ill. surgery is finding the healthy people use this virtual environment and they are this virtual environment and they a re left this virtual environment and they are left with a chronically ill which they can't afford. how sustainable will it be price nhs is to look after the patients. a big dilemma. really interesting. and

what are you going to watch? this is so what are you going to watch? this is so infuriating. i am really cross about this because i don't want to watch both at the same time live. i don't want to watch one where i can't listen to any tv... i don't like the on demand thing. i like to watch it live as well. england are going to get through. hurray for england. let's assume that. andy murray is not in wimbledon this year. we don't have the possibility of andy murray... wimbledon is classic. i love sport. at a time of division it brings everyone together. i am going to watch the world cup. all right. most of the viewers agree with you. world cup. all right. most of the viewers agree with youlj world cup. all right. most of the viewers agree with you. i have to be honest. wimbledon for two hours and then the world cup. we will see you soon. then the world cup. we will see you soon. goodbye. hello. 29 degrees was the higher yesterday

in northern ireland. that was in northern ireland. there will be a dramatic dip in the temperature here during the day ahead. we had and will have a dramatic drop in temperature for parts of scotland. you can see we had a few shower clouds yesterday. we had a few light showers across the southern half of the country. just a smattering of rain for some of the gardens. we will, i think, see perhaps a little bit more during the day ahead. the change in scotland and northern ireland was brought about by this band of cloud in a weak weather front. the odd spot of drizzle. the noticeable change is a dip in temperature. for many of us, temperatures are higher than wednesday morning. a bit more comfortable for sleeping, i'm sure. this weather system is not bringing much weather. just a line of cloud. the odd spot of drizzle. most of the rain is further north. but it is bringing the fresher atlantic air in. you can see the delineation between the hotter air and this atlantic influence getting in. that is why temperatures in scotland and northern ireland could be 10 degrees lower than those of yesterday. there should not be as much weather on that system. just a bit more cloud as it goes gradually east through the day. things will brighten up. there will be cloud building further south. a few showers in the pennines.

more likely in the southern half of the uk, parts of wales in southern and central england. they could well be heavier than yesterday, even the odd rumble of thunder, given the heat building. it looks like the heat will be higher on the temperatures by a degree or two for the bulk of england and wales. a contrast after the 29, only 18 or 19 during the day ahead. there will be some refreshing sea breezes around the coast on thursday and friday. the change in the wind on thursday today should see the low cloud shift away from the east coast more quickly. early—morning mist will burn away. then it's a lovely day. just the odd shower potentially in the east. temperatures are gradually starting to recover across scotland and northern ireland as we lose the atlantic influence, building the heat again by the day and therefore by night. so it will become uncomfortably hot for many of us once again with temperatures in central and southern areas getting towards 30 degrees. high pressure ensures lots of dry weather towards the weekend.

the fly in the ointment is perahsp more cloud at times, producing patchy rain on these weak weather fronts towards the north and west. but for many central and eastern parts of scotland and northern ireland, temperatures recovering and hot further south. refreshing sea breezes around the coast. still strong sunshine. looks as though fine weather will last into the early part of next week. good morning. welcome to this special breakfast programme. we're here at st james's hospital in leeds to mark 70 years since the nhs was founded. there'll be celebrations around the uk today. and we've got our own birthday tea party going on here. over the next three and a bit hours, we'll be meeting staff, patients and volunteers and we'll be

looking at some of the key challenges the nhs is facing. this hospital was the birthplace of accident and emergency
