a brexit showdown at chequers — the prime minister tries to get her cabinet to agree at last on our future relationship with the eu. it's likely to be a tense meeting, with brexiteer ministers expected to oppose theresa may's new plan for close alignment on eu rules. i think it'll be a full and open discussion, as you'd expect amongst colleagues, but i think there will bea colleagues, but i think there will be a wish on everybody‘s part to get to agreement. we'll have the very latest from chequers. also in the programme: police in wiltshire try to find the contaminated item that poisoned a couple with novichok nerve agent. a diver has died in thailand after trying to help the 12 boys trapped in a cave. controversy as donald trump tries to build another wall — this time to protect his golf resort in ireland from the sea. and i'm in samara, the furthest east

that england have travelled in their world cup campaign. and coming up on bbc news, serena williams and roger federer are the big names in action at wimbledon today. they are both playing third round matches on centre court later. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the cabinet are meeting at chequers now, with the prime minister saying they have an opportunity and a duty to agree a blueprint for brexit. theresa may's latest brexit plan is 120 pages long and proposes a close alignment with eu rules on many goods, but not services. it also proposes an end to free movement of people, one of the key demands of the brexiteers. but the uk would acceptjurisdiction

from the european court ofjustice in some areas. well, the prime minister could face opposition from at least seven brexiteer cabinet ministers who met at the foreign office last night to discuss tactics. today's meeting is likely to be tense. ministers were told to surrender their phones as they arrived at chequers. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. one by one, the cars pulled up for the showdown. behind tinted windows, theresa may's ministers were swept into her country residence. the hope is they can finally reach agreement about their vision for future relations with the eu. about their vision for future relations with the eui about their vision for future relations with the eu. i think at the end of the day we will get to an agreement, and we will have on offer to put our european colleagues which will do two things. it will deliver on the outcome of the referendum, restore sovereignty of parliament,

end thejurisdiction of restore sovereignty of parliament, end the jurisdiction of european courts in the united kingdom, but it will also offer a deep, enduring partnership on economic matters, on trade, with our european neighbours. but among those who will be sitting around this table, there is deep division. shut away in here for more than 12 hours, they will thrash out their views with no phones allowed. the question is whether they can find middle ground. in westminster, details of what the prime minister's proposing have trickled out in recent days. a key part is that the uk would have common rules with the eu for buying and selling goods. that is to keep trade flowing, especially across the irish border. but brexiteers have warned that sticking too closely to eu regulation could limit the uk's ability to do trade deals with other countries. it does sound, this corn law rule but, whatever we're hearing, to ci’oss but, whatever we're hearing, to cross the line on two accounts. another one, you are not making your own rules in your own country, you're doing what the eu tells you,

the ultimate call would be the european court of justice. the ultimate call would be the european court ofjustice. so i don't actually believe that what is being said is what is going to come out of this meeting. downing street says its plan won't restrict trade deals, and some tories think senior brexiteers in their party who don't like the prime minister's offer should even consider resigning. everybody wants compromise. should even consider resigning. everybody wants compromiselj should even consider resigning. everybody wants compromise. i think everybody on both sides of the argument needs to stop fighting the referendum again. that applies on both sides. and actually get on to a practical brexit. parliament is piling on the pressure. it is farcical that it has taken two years to get to this point of trying to reach agreement. my message is this. this cannot be just a truce of the cabinet. this has got to be an agreement in the best interests of the company and capable of being negotiated with the eu. any agreement in the uk will need to be negotiated with brussels, and today,

a warning. the single market is our main economic public good. we will not damage it. we will not unravel what we achieved together with the uk. plenty of people are watching what happens here. it could determine the country's future and the prime minister's political fate. country's future and the prime minister's politicalfate. alex forsyth, bbc news. our chief political correspondent vicki young is outside chequers. vicki, an all—day meeting. how likely is it that theresa may can get agreement? we have all talked about crunch moments, decisive moments, but it does feel today, that downing street will be going in there today, you can see the house behind us, determined to get some kind of compromise. partly because many feel this discussion should have been had, notjust one year ago but maybe two years ago, and it is

getting late in the day. but we also know that the cabinet is deeply divided on this. we know that david davis, the brexit secretary, will forcefully give his views had reservations about this plan. we have heard from other brexiteers who feel that this proposal does not look or sound like what they would call a true brexit, but the uk would be able to take advantage of the opportunities as they see it, of being outside of the european union. but the message from theresa may is going to be, look, we have to get a compromise. we have to find a way forward here. and actually, if you look at parliament, the arithmetic is not on the side of the brexiteers at the moment. there is no appetite for no deal, there is no appetite really for a so—called hard brexit. so we will see if she gets her way, but she needs at the end of the day to have something to put on the table to take to brussels to really kick—start those negotiations again. vicki, many thanks. our business correspondent jonty bloom is here. just spell out what is in theresa

may's 120 page plan. just spell out what is in theresa may's120 page plan. we think it is a compromise of two previous proposals. they collect half the tariff of the goods of the eu and enter the uk, and those goods don't go on to the eu, the countries get a rebate, and that will be facilitated by new technology at the borders, computerisation, number plate recognition, filling in forms long before the goods arrive. and it will also mean accepting rules, eu rules, an goods. so everything from cars to computers, including agriculture and food, basically, if the eu passes a new directive, a new law, affecting goods, the british parliament will have to introduce it in the uk so that we maintain a free and frictionless border when it comes to exporting and importing goods into the eu. and jonty, even if the cabinet agree, this could be academic even if the eu don't agree?

it has taken two years to come up with a compromise today which is a proposal to put to the eu. this is a mix of two previous proposals, both of which have been rejected, and it calls for the separation of the single market, so services would not be involved. the eu has always made it clear that the single market is a single organisation, you must have free movement of capital, people, goods and services, and the uk is saying, we will take goods but we're not sure about the rest, and that is unlikely to be very popular. jonty, thank you very much, jonty bloom. police investigators are urgently trying to find the item which was contaminated with a nerve agent that left a couple critically ill in wiltshire. officials think the novichok agent was unlikely to have been left in the open because it would have been degraded by rain and sun, meaning it was probably discovered by the couple in a contained space. our correspondent duncan kennedy is in salisbury. duncan. iam duncan. i am in the centre of the city here today, and behind me you

can see this barrier that has gone up, put up by police, because beyond the barrier is the hostel where dawn stu rg ess the barrier is the hostel where dawn sturgess lived, the barrier is the hostel where dawn stu rgess lived, and the barrier is the hostel where dawn sturgess lived, and it is one of five sites across salisbury and amesbury that this investigation is 110w amesbury that this investigation is now focused on. and the absolute focal point of that investigation 110w focal point of that investigation now is to find the source, the new source, this novichok nerve agent. the pace of activity at the house where this latest nerve agent that started increased today. teams of firefighters, ambulance crews and others arrived for what looked like a major decontamination operation. dorn sturgess and charlie rowley are still in a critical condition, having been exposed to the novichok nerve agent. dawn was seen in this shop last friday, the day before she was taken to hospital. she doesn't appear to show any obvious signs of illness. she lived in this hostel in

salisbury. today it was fully sealed off from the public, with barriers at either end of the road. the question the investigation team is desperate answer is we did she and charlie come into contact with the poisonous substance? one possibility is that either dorn or charlie came across the novichok in this part in central salisbury, which is sealed off. they could have been inside a container such as a perfume atomiser, that they simply bent down, picked up the container because it looked interesting. in the incident last march, investigators discovered that novichok was placed on the door handle of sergei skripal‘s has, but what was it carried in, and where did the assassins go with it? city leaders in salisbury say they are satisfied the police inquiry didn't miss any known contaminated sites. the clear advice from public health england and defra is that they are confident that the clean—ups were

done successfully, and that clean means clean. so i would follow that scientific advice, which would mean that the most likely scenario seems to be that there is another explanation for what has gone on here. 100 detectives are now involved in this new inquiry, to cover salisbury and amesbury. just like the script —— sergei skripal incident, they wa nt to —— sergei skripal incident, they want to find the source of the agent to give the public safe. in the past few minutes, the police have told the bbc that the process to find the novichok will be slow and careful and could take weeks or months, ben. thank you very much. a diver has died in thailand while taking supplies to 12 boys and their football coach who've been trapped in a flooded cave for almost a fortnight. the former navy diver had been delivering oxygen tanks to the group but then ran out of his own air supplies as he was returning. dan johnson reports from north thailand. this is the 13th day

trying to save 13 lives, and it's brought the starkest illustration ofjust how risky this rescue operation is. this is saman kunan, boarding the plane to offer his experience. 38 years old, the former navy diver volunteered to work alongside his old colleagues. he was on the five—hourjourney out of the cave when he lost consciousness last night, leaving no doubt about the nature of this challenge and the extent of the risk. the fact that there was a death here overnight certainly hasn't slowed down this rescue operation. in fact, if anything, it's only gaining pace. you can see even more teams being brought in here now. there are lots of people coming to and fro, new equipment being brought in, supplies being restocked, an added urgency to this rescue mission. translation: we are not reckless, we're not unplanned. as i mentioned before, we can't wait for everything. because the situation is critical, previously we thought the kids

would be able to stay alive for a long time, but now the situation has changed and we have limited time. it's not clear which option is now favoured — training the boys to dive to freedom, waiting for the water to recede, or digging them out from above. all have difficulties and downsides. some of the route is too narrow for scuba diving equipment, and more heavy rain could raise the water level. the boys are being taught the basics of diving, but some have to learn to swim first. it's feared that option could be too dangerous. today, fifa offered the boys seats at the world cup final if they are rescued in time, but there is so much uncertainty here, so much to worry about, and another family is now feeling the pain of this impossible puzzle. dan johnson, bbc news, chiang rai in northern thailand. a trade war between the world's two biggest economies now appears to be under way. american tariffs on billions of dollars worth of chinese imports have come into force.

china is retaliating and has accused president trump of starting the biggest trade war in history. john sudworth reports from beijing. here is just one of the products on the us tariff list. 12,000 of these chinese built machines have been shipped to america this year. a trade that is about to be flattened. translation: an extra 25% tax of course affects us very much. it will reduce our potential profits. is cf moto stealing american jobs? if you take a look at our factory you will realise we have got where we are on oui’ own strength and by respecting international rules. but such individual protests are now in vain. china's incredible economic success,

donald trump argues, has been built on bending the rules. in particular, the large—scale theft of us intellectual property. tariffs he hopes will force china to change its behaviour. china hopes its matching tariffs on us imports will force america to back off. if it's not yet a fully—fledged trade war, then it's the beginnings of one. mr trump is threatening a massive escalation, moving beyond the relatively obscure products on the current list to almost everything china produces. for decades, successive us presidents have, or whatever the difficulties and differences, seen trade with china as a good thing. not any more. donald trump is doing precisely what he said he would on the campaign trail. taking the fight to factories like this one, where falling orders may very quickly

translate into lost jobs. the world's two largest economies are careering into the unknown. there's little sign of meaningful dialogue and no one seems ready to put on the brakes. john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. a woman arrested on suspicion of the murder of eight babies and the attempted murder of six others has been released on bail. lucy letby, who's 28, was detained by cheshire police earlier this week in connection with the deaths at the countess of chester hospital. more than 2a million tuned in to see england win their world cup match on tuesday night, and tomorrow it could well be even more. the match against sweden is england's first world cup quarterfinal since 2006. our sports correspondent

natalie pirks is in samara where the match will take place. they do seem in great spirits, and they have got a few injuries to the likes of ashley young and jamie vardy, but after that blistering game against colombia, they are actually coming into this match all looking like they are raring to go. now, samara is quite difficult for va ns to now, samara is quite difficult for vans to get to, but those we have spoken to don't mind the distances at all. they are very much riding a wave after a night that went against all the odds. commentator: and dier does it! england win a world cup penalty shoot—out for the first time ever. england don't win on penalties, and we won on penalties! my heart was pounding. it was awesome. everyone together, it was brilliant. england's surprise penalty when shocked and delighted fans. those in moscow... and those at home. the agony and the elation of world cup penalties finally going england's way at the fourth time of asking. so now to samara.

home of russia's space programme, where england and theirfans are dreaming big. this is what we call the pub deck. johnny and friends are staying on a flotel on the volga river. they are expecting more england fans to join them, and there's quite a view. all the talk here is of england's renaissance under gareth southgate. this is a different type of england. i think there's no prima donnas. i think they've got no expectations. and i think because it's such a young squad, they've got absolutely no fear. southgate's brought that together. i think they've been together as youngsters as well, and he's brought them through. and i think it shows. there's a togetherness and friendliness in the whole thing which i haven't seen in past world cups and passed squads, you know? i've only booked a one—way ticket, and i'm not going home until i get beat. and i don't think i'm going back till a week on monday. commentator: joe cole, gerrard is far side... they are not alone. the last time england played sweden in a world cup was a 2—2 draw in 2006, and one of england's defenders that day says england

were going all the way. i think we are going to go to the final. i'm a believer. they've made me believe. the first time in years that i've believed that this england team could do it. because i think we've got the right mentality, and i think when you've got a goal—scorer at his banging form scoring goals, you've got a chance. yes, with the tournament's top scorer harry kane on such irresistible form, it's impossible not to get carried away. natalie pirks, bbc news, samara. well, they will swap the reign of repino for the son of samara when they land here soon and they know what tricky opponents sweden can be. they are stubborn, organised and england have only beaten them twice in the last ten games but when they ta ke to in the last ten games but when they take to the pitch tomorrow they know a side ranked 12 places below them is all that stands between them at their first world cup semi in 28 yea rs. i can't wait, thank you very much

indeed, natalie. our top story this lunchtime. the cabinet meet at chequers for crunch talks on brexit, as theresa may tries to make her ministers agree on her latest plan for trade with the eu. and coming up — the raf celebrates its centenary next week. my colleague sophie raworth examines her own grandfather's role in its early days. coming upon bbc news, england have held theirfinal training session ahead of their world cup quarterfinal and are now on the way to samara. all the latest on the world cup to come. now, normally when we report on president donald trump's wall we are talking about what he's planning for the us border with mexico. but he wants another one built in ireland — to protect his golf club from the sea. our ireland correspondent chris page reports. county clare is picture book ireland.

its postcard perfect coastline presented an irresistible investment opportunity to the billionaire who became president. four years ago he bought this resort when it was facing financial failure. it's been turned into the trump international golf links and hotel, and it's attracted thousands of visitors here to the village of doonbeg. so doonbeg, you know about doonbeg? i guess most of you do, right? we spent a lot of money making it just perfecto. but now the trump company wants to spend more money on its resort. it says the golf course and the whole area need to be protected from the wild waves of the atlantic ocean. the sea sets the scene, but local people say it's eating away at the landscape. what actually happens is the sea comes in or the strong wind and it takes away the sand and it creates a ledge. they believe that if the barrier isn't built storm surges could sweep onshore and that would be disastrous, not only for the golf course,

but also for those who live nearby. anyone with any properties, houses, land or anything, we are all marooned. we're going to be washed away and we have someone to protect us and we don't care, like i mean people have this idea that we are backing mr trump. we don't care who owns the golf course. we'll back them to death. there's nobody will stay and keep that open, if they can't protect it. and if he was to walk away, if they were to walk away from that business tomorrow morning i can't see anybody anywhere coming and buying it, nobody. so campaigners fear the scores ofjobs at the resort could be at risk if the erosion continues. but some environmentalists say it's ironic that the original planning application referred to the effects of global warming, given the us president's scepticism about climate change. several groups are appealing against the planners' decision to give permission for the trump firm's proposal. the irish national trust is among them. dunes move every so often during a winter storm, it will come in and take part of the dune away.

next summer it comes back again, the summer after that. so to protect the dunes the best and easiest thing is to do nothing. so will this wall stop coastal erosion? we believe there is actually no need to do it, that the best way of protecting the area is actually the dune itself. the resort says it's hopeful it'll be able to go ahead with the work as soon as possible. it's a different sort of trump wall, but this story is still making waves. chris page, bbc news in county clare. bbc analysis has reveled that 15 of the most popular websites and apps have terms and conditions that require a university—level of education to understand them. that's despite the fact that most can be used by children as young as 13. joe miller reports. 5pm on a school day and maxwell and nola are relaxing at their friend ella's home with the help of youtube and instagram. normal siblings

versus my siblings... all three children are 13 and legally allowed to join these sites — but unsurprisingly, none have actually read the terms. everything is so long and such small text, you agree to waive with respect... lot in facebook. i didn't know that. that's a bit creepy. everything is so long and such small text, it is almost sneaky of them to like, put it like that so that kids would just look at it and just skip past it, i guess. the bbc has analysed the privacy policies of 15 popular websites and apps — including facebook and youtube — and found that most of them take at least half an hour to read and that all of them require a university—level education to be properly understood. facebook, google and others say they are constantly

improving their terms and making them clearer and that easy—to—read summaries are available. but one mp says the key legal documents are simply too complicated. you have to give informed consent for your data to be used, it is not enough to print a load of gobbledygook that you know no—one will ever read and say "ah—ha — we have got the right to do it because it says so in here." child safety campaigners say the law as it stands isn't good enough. we've been calling for an independent regulator to hold these companies to account, make sure children are safe online and crucially have really strong because the settings for children under the age of 18. it's an idea that appeals to max and his friends. they say they won't wade through any lengthy policies, however well they are written, but hoped the adults who d raft written, but hoped the adults who draft them are on their side. joe miller, bbc news. chris froome s bid for a record equalling fifth tour de france begins tomorrow.

an anti—doping case against the cyclist was dropped earlier this week after a nine—month investigation. he's been speaking to our correspondent andy swiss. booze, whistles and jeers. for chris froome and team sky last night it was hardly a champions welcome. froome and team sky last night it was hardly a champions welcomelj was hardly a champions welcome.” have an amazing team to support me. chris froome has never been popular with many french fans and a recent investigation into an asthma drug seems to have fuelled that hostility. this week, chris froome was cleared of any wrongdoing and had this message to those booing him. you are coming to a sporting event. it is fair enough if you don't support me or don't support tea m don't support me or don't support team sky, but put a jersey of someone team sky, but put a jersey of someone who you do support, stand there and do something positive that there and do something positive that the race. chris froome has even written a messaging today's le mans newspaper reiterating that he's been

cleared of any wrongdoing and raising the french fans as most passionate in cycling. what happened here last night suggests he could be infora rough here last night suggests he could be in for a rough ride. at previous tour as chris froome has been abused, spat at, even had you're in thrown at him, but he says he's not worried about his safety here and tea m worried about his safety here and team sky exist despite recent criticism they have never done anything wrong. i'm absolutely 10096 confident that we do everything by the book, absolutely the right way. its professional sport, we want to try to win nonetheless. so team sky have never used medication to enhance performance? absolutely not, no, absolutely not. 100% totally refute that. a fifth tour de france title for chris froome would equal the all—time record first set in 1964 but on this showing he will have to overcome the fans as well as his rivals. andy swiss, bbc news, la roche—sur—yon. the royal air force

was formed towards the end of the first world war — and next week sees a spectacular display in the skies over london to celebrate its 100th anniversary. sophie raworth has been taking a look at the life of her own grandfather edwin, who was one of the raf‘s original pilots. it's really heavy! my goodness. it's so heavy! it started with a battered suitcase in my parents' cellar. wow, oh, my goodness, look at that. my grandfather had rarely spoken about his service with the royal flying corps. he'd forged his birth certificate tojoin up at 17, and here, along with his uniform cap, were clues to his experiences in the closing months of the first world war. the role of air power changed dramatically during the war. unarmed tiny machines designed for taking pictures of the battlefields quickly evolved into fighter planes and bombers. amazing, these planes. yeah, absolutely, and here is a be2. that's what my grandfather flew, the be2. absolutely, it's this type here. the construction is amazing. it's a wooden frame around

which is stretched the irish linen, and you can hear — it's tight and it's also been lacquered. my grandfather would have been only too aware of the risks he faced. more than 14,000 british pilots were killed, many more simply disappeared over the battlefields. atan airfield at an airfield in the thames valley i could at least get a sense of what my grandfather went through. my father had spoken of the aircraft that my grandfather had trained in. this replica is virtually identical. i never met my grandfather, but for a few moments, i had an idea of what it must have been like for him up there — a frightened teenager in the skies above france. edwin raworth was one of

the original pilots 100 years ago. what he did and saw scarred him so much that when he left the raf, he neverflew again. sophie raworth, bbc news. and you can see more on that story in a special programme this evening. "raf100 — into the blue" will be on the bbc news channel at 9:30pm. here's nick miller with the weather. if it's what you want there's more very warm to hot weather to come this weekend. dry weather as well, more skies like this. this was derbyshire this morning. high uv and pollen at times, rather uncomfortable warm nights to come. it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's here to stay for the weekend with plenty of sunshine to come. i wa nt to with plenty of sunshine to come. i want to show you the
