we are now going journalss' behalf. we are now going to davina outside the building. absolutely, what a news conference. as you are talking about the state of calmness and the story about teamwork which help them survive. they were able to fight against the darkness and fear, and are confident that they would be rescued. there we re that they would be rescued. there were some weak moments, but the supported each other. it also talks about the self—discipline on where the coach mentor them on how to meditate and become. they were also very respectful towards the global media. when they walked in the world in their hands and thanking everyone for covering the story and making sure that the global efforts. they we re sure that the global efforts. they were waiting at the camera, very happy to be here, because it was an

ordeal for nearly three weeks for them in the cave outside the cave in them in the cave outside the cave in the hospital. now we expect them to leave the news conference venue any time soon, and it will be going towards their hometown, where they will be greeted by their friends and families. they were able to answer calmly and confidently. one thing that struck me is how i young boy called titan said, "i was feeling hungry but i didn't think about food, all i thought about was how i am hearing this moment and how it should survive. " and the this moment and how it should survive." and the biggest lesson is perhaps when the coach said he will be careful with his life, and a lot of boys said they wanted to be professional footballers, but one said he would like to be a navy seal

diver after seeing said he would like to be a navy seal diverafterseeing their said he would like to be a navy seal diver after seeing their hero rescue them. they are about to come out, we can see all the flashing lights there. we know that they are about to be taken home to their families. i think you were saying this, just struck by the mixture of a child's response. "i couldn't stop thinking about fried rice," and some real wisdom we were getting from them, the life lessons they learned about never taking anything for granted. absolutely, and it is also showing the best in human spirit for all of us, isn't it? now we can look at how these boys are rushing out. the cameras following them, and each of these vans will take them on to their families. their families accompanying them, and look at the kind of media rush following them, and that is what these boys have been under, the global attention, where the world has turned the spotlight on this northern thailand province. they are still walking very confidently. they will be

coming out with their families, some of them already in the van, and calm and discipline, not jumping of them already in the van, and calm and discipline, notjumping ahead of each other. you saw them walking out in an orderly fashion, and walking ina in an orderly fashion, and walking in a queue into the press conference. itjust in a queue into the press conference. it just goes to show that their strength and maturity at such a young age. although there are questions about whether there will be now some mental challenges before their complete recovery, but looking at them today, looking at them confidently facing the global media and the attention, one is confident they will be able to move back road to recovery faster with the support syste m to recovery faster with the support system of family and friends around them, especially with their coach, who has taken on these young boys, away from the danger. also in the news conference he said, "is given a chance, i would not go inside that gave any more. " chance, i would not go inside that gave any more." —— if he was given a chance. i can hear some claps and

cheers as they move out of this vicinity to their hometowns. thank you so much. it is very affecting the hear them and watch them and to know that they are now going on. thank you for bringing that, live from outside the news conference. you are watching bbc news. time for a look at all the sport news from the bbc sports centre. with chris mitchell. hello. hello. good afternoon. sam warburton has retired from professional rugby. the former wales and british and irish lions captain — who is 29 — hadn't played since leading the lions to a drawn series against new zealand last year. our reporter thomas morgan is outside the principality stadium in cardiff for us — how much of a shock? i think after that 2007 lions to some underwent neck attention, he was out of action, then he underwent

at knee operation and was out for the whole of the season. it is understood he began pre—season but he has been unable to return to full fitness and he has made this decision. he has had a few injuries over the last few years but there is no doubt of course he will go down as one of wales' greatest ever players and no doubt one of wales' best ever say we have ever had. as usually combative player in both aspects of the game. he is also wales' leading captain, with 49 caps. 7a in total. he will be sorely missed on and off the rugby field. talking about how much he will be missed. how much of a whole will be leaving professional rugby? —— how much of a hole. when he came into the welsh fold eight years ago i think it was only one who could step that jersey following the think it was only one who could step thatjersey following the retirement of martyn williams, however since then we do have a number of options.

so he leaves it in good hands, but no doubt he has left a big void to fill, considering the enormity of his presence on the field, his leadership, and experience he holds, and also as i say in rugby community they will go down as a feared opponent, and wales, although there are options now, he will be sorely missed. thank you forjoining us, thomas. the fa is hoping to convince the government today that selling wembley stadium is a good idea. they say it'll benefit grassroots football, something they believe needs urgent attention. our sports correspondent andy swiss is here to tell us more — what's the fa's plan? as you say we have the select committee this afternoon arranged specifically to talk about the wembley issue, and for the fa it is really a chance for them to outline the benefits as they see it that selling wembley would have the grassroots game. the fa see at the moment only one in three pitches at grassroots level is of adequate quality. one in six matches, they

say, are called off due to poor pictures. at the moment the fa and its partners invest around £30 million a year in community facilities and they say by selling wembley it will enable them to more than triple that figure to around £100 million a year. they have called it a transformative opportunity. they say the investment would allow them to create new artificial pitches so every team would be able to train on 3—d pictures, it would enable them to improve training, referees, coaching, so they see as a huge opportunity for the grassroots game. what will happen at parliament this afternoon? we will hear a range of viewpoints, funnily enough, the international gary neville will be giving evidence. he was particularly outspoken back in april at the time when news of this potential sale first came to light and he said back in april that idea was absurd, that it was short—term play a that would be regretted for ever. we will also hear evidence from fa executive martin glenn and also tracey crouch,

the sports minister. obviously the potential sale of the home of english football is a very emotive issue so we could be in for a very lively afternoon. 0k, thank you very much. before we go, don't forget, stage 11 of the tour de france is under way and you can follow it live on the bbc sport website throughout the afternoon. that is it from me for now. more in the next hour. many thanks, chris. back to our top story today. sir cliff richard has won his high court privacy case against the bbc over its coverage of a police raid on his home. he's been awarded more than £200,000 in damages, with further sums to be decided later. the singer had claimed the bbc‘s reporting of the 2014 raid, which was part of an investigation into historical child sex allegations, was a "serious invasion" of privacy. high courtjudge mrjustice mann said, "sir cliff had privacy rights in respect of the police investigation... "the bbc infringed those rights without a legaljustification. it did so in a serious way and also in a somewhat sensationalist way."

the singer walked out of court saying, "i'm choked up, i can't believe it, it's wonderful news." his lawyer gideon benaim said the singer never expected after 60 years in the public eye to have his "privacy and reputation tarnished in such a way." sir cliff is of course very pleased with the court was my judgment today, in which the judge concluded that, "the bbc went in for an invasion of sir cliff's privacy rights, in a big way." mrjustice mann's ruling is that the bbc‘s conduct was unlawful and a very serious invasion of privacy rights. the case clearly confirmed that individuals, including high profile ones, have a reasonable expectation of privacy in relation to police investigations. what transpired in august 2014 resulted from decisions taken

by only a small number of people at the bbc, however it was as a direct result of those decisions that impact on sir cliff over the last four years was so profound. he never expected after 60 years in the public eye that his privacy and reputation would be tarnished in this way, and that he would need to fight such a battle. although he felt it necessary to pursue this case, and the sum awarded in damages is one of the highest ever in this area of law, sir cliff's motivation was not for personal gain as he knew all along he would be substantially out of pocket no matter what. his aim has been to try to right a wrong and ensure as best he could that no other innocent person would have to endure what he went through. what sir cliff wanted was for the bbc to acknowledge that what it had done to him was unlawful. before litigation commenced, we asked the bbc to accept this and to apologise. sir cliff would have been reasonable in relation to damages had they agreed to do so. not only did they refuse to apologise, but they were defiant, repeatedly telling the world that this was public interest journalism, when as we know was not. they even submitted the story for an award which the judge found

to be an aggravating factor. the judge came to a clear conclusion that sir cliff's privacy rights were not outweighed by the bbc‘s rights to freedom of expression, and that they did not exist a public interest in identifying him. given the adverse findings of fact by the judge, serious questions ought to be asked about the bbc‘s focus on preserving their exclusive story at the expense of sir cliff's rights, as well as how the bbc came to advance such a factual case, including to the home affairs select committee in 2014. additionally, whether senior executives exercised sufficient scrutiny over the activities of their journalists, and in approving and signing the bbc‘s defence. we welcome today's judgment and sir cliff would wholeheartedly like to thank everyone who supported him throughout, his family, friends and of course as fans. it has meant a huge deal to him. thank you very much.

i can't really answer to many questions at the moment. it's going to dig a little while for me to get over the whole emotional factor, and so i hope you'll forgive me. i'll talk to you some other time. thank you very much. that was sir cliff richard and his lawyer giving their initial response to that high court ruling and him winning that privacy battle against the bbc. now it is time for the business news and rachel is here. for a third month in a row uk inflation remains at 2.4%. the june figure comes as a surprise to some analysts, who had been predicting a rise. google has been hit with a record £3.8 billion fine over its android operating system. it follows a three year investigation by the european commission over claims the firm's mobile device strategy where many manufacturers had to pre—install the google search app and its web browser chrome gave google an unfair advantage when it came

to internet searches. blue skies ahead for easyjet, after the budget carrier announced a 14%jump in revenue in the third quarter to £1.6 billion. however, they are still facing challenges form industrial action and the uk's warm weather — more on that in a moment. have you heard of premier food? even if you aren't familiar with the name, you've probably eaten one of their products. the uk food producer's brands include mr kipling and batchelors — they reported a 1.7% rise in sales for the second quarter. the firm has been also holding its agm today, where the company's second biggest shareholder — oasis — is pushing for the removal of premier foods chief executive gavin darby. joining me now is martin deboo, who's

the consumer goods analyst from jefferies and he also attended the agm — what was the atmosphere like? i think it was robust and lively, as you would expect it to be in the circumstances. what was said about the chief executive gavin darby's proposed removal, and did he speak? yes, mr sport and oasis, the active shareholder, were very vocal in their criticisms him —— mr derby. i think it was a vigorous and well conducted debate that has probably done the company some good, in that to lose derby would have been short—term destabilising, but i think oasis at good challenges on the table. the board have responded to that by indicating they might be more open to asset disposals. i think the question will be, can those disposals be made at high enough valuations to make a meaningful difference to premier's

balance sheet proposals? talk about selling some brands — which ones and will it raise enough to manage their debt? what sort of brands are we talking about? that is the key question, and the brand in debate is battlers, which we think is their third biggest brand and the brand growing at the moment very healthily on the back of new innovations —— batchelors. always —— oasis afforded it can be sold for two at 12 times its profits which is a interesting. i would think that would be very ha rd to i would think that would be very hard to achieve at the moment. one problem facing premier that is their debt pile and also pension responsible to. what sort of debt does the company carry and what is that equivalent to the company ‘s ——

premier foods. they currently have an accounting pension surplus but there is a pension deficit in one of there is a pension deficit in one of the schemes. what is more meaningful is to look at one of those liabilities in terms of profits and that number is very high by british plc standards. there is no question about it. ok, martin deboo, consumer a nalyst, about it. ok, martin deboo, consumer analyst, thank you for your time. more on those easjyet‘s results now. the carrier flew 24.4 million passengers in the second quarter, that's 9.3% more than during the same period last year. revenue for the third quarter rose 14% to £1.6 billion, with income from baggage and seat allocation up more than a fifth to £328 million. john strickland an aviation analyst believes easyjet is benefitting from less competition in the market. a strong set of results from easyj et, a strong set of results from easyjet, raising their profits for the year ahead quite considerably.

some main benefits they have had in recent months, the failure of monarch, who went back from last year that took a lot of capacity out of the market which has not been replaced which has allowed easyjet to have a better pricing environment, not chasing a passenger demand with too bustard. we have also seen airlines are the last year and in the previous year and moved capacity —— not chasing a passenger demand with too much. this is a reflection of the figures we have seen today. that was aviation a nalyst seen today. that was aviation analystjohn seen today. that was aviation analyst john strickland. seen today. that was aviation analystjohn strickland. in other business news... around 1,500 jobs are at risk after the gaucho restaurant chain said it intends to appoint administrators. the chain's owners, the private equity firm equistone, had been trying to find a buyer, but say they were thwarted by high debt levels and a complex legal structure. video streaming services like netflix and amazon prime now have more subscribers than traditional pay tv services here in the uk. the country's media regulator — oftcom — says tv services will need to adapt to compete — saying it would be great to see a british netflix. british steel has announced

a £50 million upgrade of its scunthorpe rod mill. the company said it was the "biggest single investment in its manufacturing operations for a decade". work at the scunthorpe site is due to start this summer and the new operation is set to be ready by autumn 2019. and for the first time in six years millions of flat owners have seen no growth in the prices of their homes over the past year, according to the office for national statistics. that's mainly because a quarter of the uk's flats and maisonettes are in london, where prices are falling. however overall house prices were up by 3% in the year to may. that it from me. more business throughout the afternoon. back to you, clive. thank you, rachel. it is the last prime minister's questions before the summer recess. theresa may faced tough questions on brexit from mps. vicki young is standing by, the

chief political correspondent. yes, she was in front of the liaison committee, and later on this evening she will be addressing her own backbenchers. brexit is of course the topic everyone is talking about. after yesterday, the government suffering defeat on brexit legislation, then scraping through on another very important vote. what is happening here is she has come up with a compromise. she thought she had cabinet agreement on all of that which seems to have fallen apart slightly and i think the problem with compromise if you end up pleasing none of the people none of the time. today in prime minister questions one of the toughest things she was asking from someone on your own side. with the prime minister informed the house at what point it was decided that brexit means remain? that really sums up the dilemma for the prime minister. com demise has left some in her party thinking the uk will be far too close to the eu after we leave ——

her compromise has left some. others are thinking we will not be close enough and it will not be workable. this was her response... can i say to my honourable friend at absolutely no point, because brexit continues to mean brexit? and if i can say to my honourable friend, i know she wants us to talk about the positives of brexit, and i agree with her, we should be talking about the positive future for this country. where does this leave her so—called checkers deal, this arrangement by where when it comes to goods, the uk will be staying pa rt to goods, the uk will be staying part of the common rule book with the eu -- part of the common rule book with the eu —— chequers deal. she insists she is forging ahead with it and it is the only workable option but that is the only workable option but that is not what labour leader things. two years on from the referendum, 16 months on from triggering article

50, isn't it the case that the government has no serious negotiating strategy whatsoever? now, let's discuss all of that, and of course the resignation speech which will be coming from boris johnson, the former foreign secretary, later on today. i am joined by labour by owen smith, drew hendry from the snp, and andrew percy from the conservatives. firstly, the labour position, you wa nt firstly, the labour position, you want a second referendum, i think, owen smith. will your party come behind at? i hope so because after what we have seen over the last couple of days, the civil war in the tory party being displayed for the whole country, it is clear where we are heading at the moment is towards i'io are heading at the moment is towards no deal, and that is what the erg around jacob rees—mogg want and it would be utterly disastrous for our economy if that is where we end up andi economy if that is where we end up and i think the only democratic and sensible route out of that is to give the people the chance to reject that no deal scenario and have another vote. andrew, you leader

here this lunchtime said parliament isn't able to function at the moment because the divisions are so great, but isn't it that parliament now has to decide what kind of brexit we have? it is a complete and utter farce in this place at the moment. you have a prime minister in office but not in power, squeaking through votes through the shameful collaboration of hard brexit labour members propping up the tiny majority she has got, this place is just absolutely dysfunctional at the moment. it is a dysfunctional government and there is absolutely no leadership. it is about ten this was sorted out, but nobody here is willing to actually get behind a proper answer to this entry the situation —— it is about time. andrew percy, the case for the defence? is theresa may in charge of this process? she has, with a common mind but nobody seems to agree.|j thought the questions and yet today was puerile and silly and i don't think that is the case. we are leaving the eu under the prime minister's plan and that is absolutely clear. i think most tory

mps are sick of hearing the likes of andy on people on the other side, the hard—core remain side, and we just wish they would also top, to be perfectly honest. the overwhelming majority of conservative mps backed the plan the prime minister has come up the plan the prime minister has come up with, leaving the eu, the customs union, the single market, and i could go on, ending free movement. that is brexit, what my constituents voted for and what they would get. we have been playing on the other side of the labour party split down the middle on europe as well but i think most tory mps are just sick of hearing from a minority voices who might make good telly and good copy but they don't speak for the majority of conservative mps. do you get your voice heard? there was talk of you getting together a new grouping of conservative mps? we are looking at that. we don't want to become the popular front of versus the judaean popular front —— the popular front ofjudea versus the

judean popular front. you are! the challenge will be to the house of commons because we had labour mps are elected at the last election to make good on brexit, and if they don't make good on that and if they are playing silly party political games to damage the conservative party, they will have to look their constituents in it, especially in the north of england, and ask themselves, were they telling the truth when they told their electors in the last general election they would respect the result of the referendum? it incredible. there is no sensible brexit. every one of the government was back on an analysis over any government was back on an analysis over any options shows that will hit jobs, hit the economy. the best thing to do is draw a line under this and agree to stay in that single market... there was a referendum and across the united kingdom people voted to leave. referendum and across the united kingdom people voted to leavem scotla nd kingdom people voted to leavem scotland we overwhelmingly voted to remain in the eu. that hasjust been railroaded over by this government have ignored the wishes of the scottish people. getting lectured about leaving the eu by party was to

leave its biggest trading partner, you want to rip scotland out of the thing the british market... there is no single british market. it isjust rubbish to suggest otherwise. we live in a uk single market. you want to read it out of that, then you dare to lecture us... -- you want to rip it out of that. you are using the yuki wouldn't trade with an independent scotland ? the yuki wouldn't trade with an independent scotland? that speak to owen smith about the labour position. your party is divided. last night format of your colleagues supported the prime minister and stopped what we hear might have been a vote of no—confidence? stopped what we hear might have been a vote of no-confidence? yes, and frankly i think they should be ashamed of that, partly because they supported a prime minister who was on the rocks last night. we could have seen according to reports, the government pulling the third reading and having a vote of no—confidence. if we were serious about being a government in waiting, then those people should have supported us to get that through... they would say

they are supporting their constituents who voted to leave.|j am supporting with my constituent some of them voted to leave. i agree with you that there is not any good thing that any such thing as a good brexit, number to be supportive of industry. there is only a brexit babble damaged lives and livelihoods for people in my constituency and all of our constituencies which is why labour should be opposing it.|j will quickly as the web anti—semitism row in your party. reports that a senior labour mp accused jeremy corbyn anti—semitic and action will be taken against them —— a senior member in your party. i think it was a disgraceful decision by the nec not to endorse the anti—semitism definition. we are already in the unbelievably dreadful position of not being trusted by the jewish community and we have unfortunately compounded that problem. we should have adopted it and margaret hodge, with whom i share her great misgivings, should be supported for what she said. one word. you're looking forward the

borisjohnson word. you're looking forward the boris johnson bosla word. you're looking forward the borisjohnson bosla resignation speech later? i will avoid it. too late, it has come too late.|j speech later? i will avoid it. too late, it has come too late. i have a lot of envelopes needing stubborn, so lot of envelopes needing stubborn, so unfortunately i would be there, very sorry. thank you all. now, it is time for the weather with chris. thanks a lot. today we have had quite a bit of cloud around already and a few passing showers. some have spotted something a little more exciting than that as well. 0ut spotted something a little more exciting than that as well. out to the coast of north west wales, off gwinnett, you can see what respect on this weather watcher picture, a great picture. we're looking at some limited sunny spells coming through and there will be more rain on friday and it will generally turn a little warmer as well —— weather watcher picture in gwynedd. more showers across wales, south—west england, northern england, and the heaviest are across southern scotland, particularly in the southern uplands, some quite

intense. apart from that, brighter moments as the cloud parts. around 21, 20 moments as the cloud parts. around 21,205 moments as the cloud parts. around 21, 20 5 degrees. overnight, she is fading away pretty quickly —— 25 degrees. patchy cloud, clear spells and a comfortable night's sleep for most. temperatures down slowly, between ten and 15 degrees. i think thursday, by and large we are looking at a dry day for england and wales. there will probably be quite a bit of high cloud in the sky across the south of england into parts of east anglia as well. but there should be some sunshine. the north and west of the uk, the cloud said it will thicken through the afternoon and here we're looking at some rain getting into the western isles. that will spread into the highlands by the end of the day. brighter skies across england and wales but towards the end of the week, looking at the jet stream, the thing that makes our weather. when we get these really big dips in the jet stream sometimes it can break apartand jet stream sometimes it can break apart and the winds all of a sudden can apart and the winds all of a sudden ca n start apart and the winds all of a sudden can start blowing in exactly the opposite direction. that is going to

happen i think going through friday and it is something the computer model has struggled with, getting the details right, and it is crucial to what will happen with our weather. by friday, some wet weather into the north—west of the yuki and some of that will be heavy for northern ireland, scotland, dashing —— the north—west of the uk. if those thunderstorms do form they could be significant because they could be significant because they could bring 30 millimetres of rain injust the space could bring 30 millimetres of rain in just the space of an hour. that is half a month's worth of rain which means they could be some low surface water flooding and it is not out of the question we get some of that wet weather across southern wales and in the south—west england. there could be some changes in the forecaster friday. saturday, some of the showers lingering but generally through the weekend prior, brighter, a bit sunnier and a bit warmer as well. that is your weather. hello, you're watching afternoon live.
