rain in north—western areas. sunny spells towards the end of the week and signs of the heat building again. significant rainfall will not happen this week. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. the government is in crisis as the brexit secretary resigns. david davis says the strategy is dangerous. that's all from the bbc news at 0ne, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. they call it manic monday at wimbledon and the action is well under way now. men's defending champion roger federer is on centre court right now, taking on adrain mannarino —and keeping across all the action for us isjohn watson.... how is federer getting on? roger said took that first set six love. roger federer took that first set. hugely impressive from roger federer at the moment. he is chasing what could be a ninth wimbledon
1:34 pm
crown. he wrapped up that first set injust crown. he wrapped up that first set in just 16 crown. he wrapped up that first set injust 16 minutes. he will need to get his game together if he wants to come back into this. with so many of the top seeds falling by the wayside in the early round, it really has opened up for roger fedor at the moment. the only real stern challenge... he could have the tantalising prospect of roger fedor up tantalising prospect of roger fedor up against rafa nadal in the final. 0ne up against rafa nadal in the final. one of the best matches ever played at wimbledon was in 2008. roger fedor are looking superb out at centre court at the moment. you mentioned those big seeds tumbling in the first week. the sole
1:35 pm
remaining top ten women's seed left. john, i don't think you manage to hear me there. sorry. she was the sole remaining top ten women's seed after a ll sole remaining top ten women's seed after all of the best had fallen by the wayside in week one. yes, the absence of those top seeds. the seventh seed was the only one remaining and she looked on course for potentially a semifinal with serena williams. she was beaten today. we now have none of the top ten seeds in the women's drop remaining in the second week of the wimbledon championships. the manic monday today. another major casualty. she had never been past the second row to previously, and
1:36 pm
she said that she was enjoying wimbledon at long last. she won't be now after that big feet on court today. —— big defeat. the full england team of 23 trained today at their base in repino — including jamie vardy, who was an injury concern ahead of their world cup semifinal against croatia on wednesday. the former england defender martin keown says the spirit gareth southgate has generated in the side, gives them every chance to win the tounament. it is the togetherness and a shared journey. if you look at what they had to come through, it has not been easy to make it to the top. there are so many players, early in their careers had been told they were not quite good enough, and they went on to show it. even harry came, he was
1:37 pm
on on loan to so many clubs. look at him now, he is a world superstar. they are altogether they get complacent. following spain's poor performance at the world cup, they've already started to rebuild. they've named the former barcelona head coach, luis enrique as the national team's new manager. it's been quite a chaotic few weeks. enrique replaces fernando hierro — who led the team in russia — after they had sacked julen lopetegui, just days before the tournament started — after he had been announced as new real madrid coach. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. back to our top story this lunchtime — and it's been a dramatic day at westminster so far following the late night resignation of david davis as brexit secretary. he said the prime minister's chequers plan had "given away too much too easily". he's been speaking to our political

editor laura kuenssberg. david davis, in a simple terms as you can, what is your difference of opinion with the prime minister. back to our top story this lunchtime — and it's been a dramatic day at westminster so far following the late night resignation of david davis as brexit secretary. he said the prime minister's chequers plan had "given away too much too easily". he's been speaking to our political editor laura kuenssberg. david davis, in a simple terms as you can, what is your difference of
1:39 pm
opinion with the prime minister. essentially, two policies and the tactics. we are now proposing to use the same rule book, or the same laws, really, as the european union, not equivalent, not similar, but the same. and that will provide all sorts of problems when it comes to if we want to diverge and do something different. so the return of control to parliament is more illusory than it is real. secondly, the customs arrangements, we will be collecting taxes, tariffs for the european union. they are bound to insist on a european court having a say in that, and that'll be a problem in terms of bringing back control of our laws, again, and our borders. and thirdly, the tactic, i'm worried that what the european union will do is simply take what we've offered and ask for more or wait for more. i think there has got to be a time when we get a bit tougher with them, and this should have been the time. if you say the prime minister's proposal basically means that control is an illusion, in your view, if we carry on with this plan with those terms, is that really leaving at all? that is the question we argued about last week at cabinet. i don't think so, but as i said in my letter, i hope she is right and i am wrong. it will be down to the fine detail, that is the thing. but having been involved in this
1:40 pm
process for the last couple of years, i worry about the fine detail, and i worry it will not work out the way we would hope. she might be right and i might be wrong. myjudgment she might be right and i might be wrong. my judgment is she might be right and i might be wrong. myjudgment is that it is a very high risk. you describe yourself as a reluctant conscript in all of this. not in all of it. you describe yourself as unhappy with the direction of traffic but you we re the direction of traffic but you were in charge of this policy. you have been the brexit secretary for more than two years! the prime minister is in charge. in that time there have been differences of view ona there have been differences of view on a variety of things. that is normal in a very complex subject like this. if you think about the interactions between parliament, government, the commission, the member states. there are a huge number of interactions to get right and, in essence, there will always be thinking there will be a better way. we do that, we manage that. in the last few months it has gone in a
1:41 pm
direction that i have not been co mforta ble direction that i have not been comfortable with. david davies discussing his resignation. police investigating the death of a woman exposed to a nerve agent in wiltshire are continuing to stress that the risk to the wider public is low. dawn sturgess and her partner are believed to have fallen ill after handling an item contaminated with novichok. assistant commissioner neil basu is the uk's counter terrorism chief — and he gave this update to reporters at scotland yard earlier this lunchtime. it is both shocking and utterly appalling that a british citizen has died having been exposed to a knowledge of nerve agent. make no mistake, we are determined to find out how dawn and her partner charlie came into contact with such a deadly substance and we will do everything we possibly can to bring those responsible to justice. we possibly can to bring those responsible tojustice. 0ur
1:42 pm
immediate thoughts and prayers are with dawn's family. they are coming to terms with the loss of a loved one in unimaginable circumstances. she was only 44 years old. she leaves behind two grown up sons aged 19 and 23 and an 11—year—old daughter as well as her parents. 0ur thoughts also remain with her partner who was also exposed with the nerve agent and remains critically ill in hospital. both of theirfamilies have critically ill in hospital. both of their families have asked for the media to respect their privacy at this very difficult time. i would also like to thank all of the extremely brave and dedicated hospital and medical staff who have worked tirelessly and tried to save dawn‘s life and have continued to ca re dawn‘s life and have continued to care for charlie. this latest horrendous turn of events has served to strengthen our resolve as we work to strengthen our resolve as we work to identify those responsible for
1:43 pm
this outrageous, reckless and barbaric act. the investigation is being led by detectives from the uk's counterterrorism network and we are unable to say whether or not the nerve agent is linked to the attack on sergei skripal. this remains our main line of inquiry. the investigation must be led by the evidence available and fact alone. 0ur evidence available and fact alone. our focus evidence available and fact alone. 0urfocus on priority evidence available and fact alone. our focus on priority is to identify and locate any container that we believe may be the source of contamination. in the four months since sergei skripal was poisoned, no other people have presented with symptoms but their reaction was so severe it resulted in don mac's death and charlie being critically ill. 0ur death and charlie being critically ill. our hypothesis is that they must have handled a container that we are now seeking. 0ver must have handled a container that we are now seeking. over the weekend detailed searches have continued at
1:44 pm
a number of locations in amesbury and salisbury and this activity is centred on dawn's address and charlie's address as well as queen elizabeth gardens in salisbury. these cordons are in place at a number of locations in the area and are likely to remain in place for a considerable period of time. this is for the public safety as well as to allow officers access to get crucial evidence for the investigation. detectives are pieced together a detailed timeline which shows the movements of both dawn and charlie in the period before they fell ill on saturday the 30th ofjune. this is crucial to our understanding. so far we think that on friday the 29th ofjune at around 12:20pm they were both together atjohn baker house in salisbury. they then left to visit salisbury, going to queen elizabeth gardens that afternoon. they both returned to john baker gardens that afternoon. they both returned tojohn baker house at around az20pm before catching a bus
1:45 pm
to amesburyjust after around az20pm before catching a bus to amesbury just after 10pm around az20pm before catching a bus to amesburyjust after 10pm that night. in the absence of any information we believe they spent the night at charlie's address. the next morning at 10:15am, saturday the 30th of june. next morning at 10:15am, saturday the 30th ofjune. the ambulance service was cold to charlie's address where don had taken ill. charlie was present with her at that time and dawn was taken to hospital. at around midday on saturday, charlie visited boots the chemist and returned to his house about 30 minutes later. at 1:45pm he went to the amesbury baptist centre on butterfield drive and again returned home at around 3pm. just over three hours later at 6:20pm charlie was also taken ill. the ambulance service was cold back to his address and he too was taken to hospital. as
1:46 pm
i have said before, there is no evidence that either dawn charlie visited any of the sites that were decontaminated following the attempted murders of sergei skripal and his daughter. as the investigation progresses we continue to build on our understanding which is key to was establishing when and where don and charlie were contaminated. as part of this, detectives have already identified a red ford transit van that charlie travelled in as a passenger on saturday prior to falling ill. and yesterday the military assisted us with transporting back from amesbury toa with transporting back from amesbury to a laboratory at portadown. there are scientists will carry out tests on the vehicle. this is being done asa on the vehicle. this is being done as a precautionary measure and to assist investigators piecing together the facts behind this dreadful incident. three other men we re dreadful incident. three other men were also in the ban that they and they have been identified and contacted they have been identified and co nta cted by they have been identified and contacted by police. none of them
1:47 pm
are showing any signs of being exposed to the nerve agent of feeling unwell and they are being screened as a precaution. i am sure you will appreciate the investigation is painstaking meticulous and complex but can i also assure you we are doing everything possible to gather all available evidence. 0fficers everything possible to gather all available evidence. officers of already spoken to a number of people who knew don and charlie before they became ill. if anyone saw them are met with them that we haven't already spoken to, i would urge them to co nta ct already spoken to, i would urge them to contact police on oh 807 89321. the latest from scotland yard. in a moment business news. but first of all our headlines. the brexit secretary, david davis, has resigned, saying the government was pursuing a dangerous strategy in negotiations with the european union. reports say at least eight people have been rescued from flooded caves in thailand,

wa nts laid out a clear strategy that it wants the vast majority of cars to beat 100% ciba omissions. no tailback commissions. but anyone building a house, it makes sense to make the infrastructure now rather than when you are building. our house will need a driveway of some sort. what if there is no driveway? how are you going to charge car? roadway charging points. the difficulty is that many are being moved to the back of the pavements but forecourts are emerging. bp is acquiring charge master. a lot of charging points are beginning to appear. you will go to a forecourt to fill up on electricity instead of petrol and you can buy a copy while you are doing that. with the current technology you are looking at a five minute charge rate. it is very quick

electric car it becomes right down to two p to 5p. let's take a look at some of the day's other business stories. shares in chinese smartphone maker xiaomi fell by 6% on its first day of trading on hong kong's stock market. the world's fourth—largest smartphone maker raised £3.5 billion, which was way below initial expectations. chinese stocks have fallen recently, mainly because of rising us—china trade tensions. and the shares of air france—klm rose more than 9% — its biggest dailyjump in a year — after a french newspaper said the troubled airline was close to appointing a new boss. the airline also received a boost, with itsjune traffic numbers coming in better than expected. french food giant danone is looking into reports that its aptamil baby milk formula is making some infants ill. aptamil recently changed the recipe of three of its baby milk formulas. hundreds of parents in the uk have complained on social media that the revised formula milk is making their babies sick.
