this is bbc news. i'm carole walker. the headlines at 8:00pm. sir cliff richard says he's relieved after winning his privacy case against the bbc. he's been awarded £210,000. this has to be something done that says, "you cannot do it again, you must not do it again". and i'm still not quite sure why they didn't have some kind of legal advice that would stop them. i was never even arrested let alone charged. the bbc apologises for any distress caused to sir cliff, but is considering an appeal. borisjohnson appeals to theresa may to reconsider her brexit strategy — warning the uk will exist in a state of "miserable, permanent limbo" unless she changes course. it is not too late to save brexit. we have changed tack once and we can change again. meanwhile theresa may has been reassuring mps on her proposals trying to bridge the divisions in her party. a 20—year—old man has been found

guilty of plotting to kill the prime minister in a suicide attack inspired by the islamic state group. the 12 thai boys and their football coach, who were rescued after two weeks trapped in a flooded cave, make their first public appearance after being released from hospital. translation: i was shocked. i have to think about the question. when he got up, he asked, "how are you?" i said we were 0k. i was shocked. and as rivers in scotland continue to dry up in the warm weather, reassurance for people with private supplies. sir cliff richard has won his high court privacy

battle against the bbc, and has been awarded an initial £210,000 in damages. the court found that the corporation's reporting of a police raid on his home, in connection with an allegation of historical child sexual abuse, infringed the star's privacy in a "serious and sensationalist way". sir cliff always denied the allegations, and wasn't arrested or charged. he described today's ruling as "wonderful news". the bbc says it's very sorry for the distress caused to sir cliff, but is considering an appeal. lucy manning reports. it was as good as it could have got for sir cliff richard, and as bad as it could be for the bbc. sir cliff, how are you feeling about the judgment? it's going to take a little while for me to get over

the whole emotional factor. so, i hope you will forgive me. in tears, he had told the court his life was forever tainted, now he was vindicated. sir cliff is of course very pleased with the court's judgment today. 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. the singer was awarded £210,000 but is likely to get more. the bbc is also facing millions in legal costs. this is a massivejudgment for sir cliff richard and pretty devastating for the bbc. it raises questions for the entire media about how they cover police investigations. his friends saw the physical and mental toll over the last four years. he was determined to fight this case, and in a way, even if he hadn't won the case, i think he has won it as far as the public is concerned. because personally, i've never heard

so many people saying, "i hope he wins this case" and it was terrible, that invasion of privacy. and he has won it, in privacy law. the decisions made in the bbc newsroom to report the police investigation into sir cliff richard in 2014 and to use a helicopter to film it significantly invaded his privacy, said thejudge. it was a scathing judgment. the judge said the reporting was breathless sensationalism, and using the helicopter created false drama. he rejected the bbc‘s case. 0ne bbc boss, he said, was not always a reliable witness and he decided the bbc went in for an invasion of sir cliff's privacy rights in a big way. bbc editors fran unsworth and jonathan monroe were grim—faced hearing the heavy criticism, but claim this is a dramatic move against press freedom. thejudge accepting it could have a significant impact on the media. the bbc is very sorry for the distress caused to sir cliff, we understand the very serious impact this has had on him.

she says the judgment will affect every media organisation. thejudge has made clear that even if there had been no footage of the search on this story had less prominence, the very naming of sircliff would have been unlawful. this creates a significant shift against press freedom. have you or mr monroe offered your resignations over this matter or should you? it's a long judgment, we need to go away and absorb all the details, there are 200 pages. we need to look at it and consider what lessons there are to learn. what do you say to licence fee payers that they are going to face these damage fees? are you going to face the opposition? at the bbc‘s headquarters, there was a robust defence of its journalism. do you not think licence fee payers will find it astounding that you have lost this case and it's going to cost potentially millions of pounds and nobody at the bbc is being held responsible? the question is not whether anyone is responsible, it's whether that

responsibility results in what you suggested might happen which is that people should resign. that is not necessarily the right response to every mistake that a journalist makes in a news organisation. singing: congratulations... 0utside court, there was of course only one song sir cliff's fans could sing, but his victory means the most difficult of days for the bbc, and potential challenges now for all journalists. lucy manning, bbc news. sir cliff richard has told itv news if heads were to roll at the bbc "it would be deserved". speaking to julie etchingham, he said that senior managers have to "carry the can". there must be something done at the top echelon of those people. there has to be something done that says, "you cannot do this can, you must i do it again." —— do this again.

and i am still not sure why they didn't have some kind of legal advice that would have stopped them. i was never even arrested let alone charged and i've had to suffer all of this — financially but, more importantly, emotionally. for what? for absolutely doing zero. i never did what they said, what they claimed. and if heads rolled, then maybe it's deserved. the ruling has significant implications for the way in which all media in the uk reports ongoing police investigations. our legal correspondent clive coleman looks at how today's judgment could affect the balance between an individual‘s right to privacy, and freedom of the press. a national institution taken to court very publicly by a national treasure. four years after the raid on the star's house, today, sir cliff made legal history. at the heart of this case is a battle between the right that we all now have to a private and family life and the right of the media to publish stories about us if they are in the public interest.

but it wasn't always like that. in 1990, actor gorden kaye went to court claiming his privacy was invaded byjournalists posing as doctors after he had a car crash. he was told there was no privacy law in the uk. but after the human rights act came into force in 2000, establishing the right to privacy, naomi campbell won a case and damages following publication of a photograph of her leaving a drug treatment centre. then in 2008, max mosley, the formula 1 racing chief, won a privacy case and substantial damages over a story about a sex session with prostitutes. now, for the first time in a trial, a high courtjudge has considered the privacy rights of suspects in serious criminal investigations. this judgment underlined the rights of individuals and suspects regardless of how high profile or not they are, in terms of any criminal investigation.

and it has made clear that there is a reasonable expectation of privacy for individuals. the balance between the private lives of individuals and the right to publish information about them has to be seen in an online world, where if a suspect is identified the damage can be instant, worldwide and catastrophic. and if they are innocent and not charged, like sir cliff, it can be extremely difficult to repair. broadcaster paul gambaccini, himself arrested arrested over alleged historical sex offences and never charged, wants blanket change. if we are to have a just society we must have anonymity before charge, because what we had during this recent five years was anybody could make an accusation against anybody, whether they knew them or not, and would get publicised. today's a game changer for the news media industry. this is not going to stop

social media from talking about all these things. misinformation will be there, going all around the place, and the way to counteract this misinformation and fake news is to go to the mainstream media and trusted media and ask what is going on. now we cannot tell them. the bbc and other media may not like the rise and rise of the law of privacy, but case—by—case privacy protection for individuals is growing. clive coleman, bbc news. david banks is a specialist in media law and journalist — who has also co—authored three editions of mcnae s essential law forjournalists. thank you forjoining us. clive coleman was talking about that balance between the right to privacy and the significance of the freedom of speech. do you think this judgement does change that balance?

yes. it radically changes the balance that we have been used to in the media for many years now. if we we re the media for many years now. if we were re—coursing on an investigation and we discover the identity of the person in the investigation, we could carefully identify what we would really worry about would be... libel laws which are pretty savage in this country anyway. now according to thisjudge in this country anyway. now according to this judge it as a private matter as well. so you have libel laws and privacy all hanging over you. this is a lot for journalists to worry about. what the judge was saying was that the suspect in the case like this should have a reasonable expectation of privacy. that is clearly what the judge has decided. but you only have to look at some of the cases that we've seen in recent years to see

that introducing that as a blanket rule is a mistake. in many cases and 0dyssey sir cliff richards has been exonerated. but in other cases of historic sexual offences, sometimes the identification of a person under investigation has been crucial in encouraging other victims to come forward , encouraging other victims to come forward, to get corroborating evidence. and without the corroborating evidence, a case could not have been billed against the people under suspicion. so simply saying it is a private matter and we can't name people in any circumstances like this is going to be very counterproductive to police investigations and to the reporting of them by the media. the bbc is considering whether to appeal against thisjudgement. do considering whether to appeal against this judgement. do you think that it does have valid grounds to watch is such an appeal?” that it does have valid grounds to watch is such an appeal? i think such a radical change in the balance

of the privacy rights and rights of freedom of expression does need to be examined by the high court. i know a lot of newsrooms and journalists around the country will be hoping that this judgement is appealed and the court of p0 be hoping that this judgement is appealed and the court of po box and supreme court possibly in due course. were you surprised that the judgement for example singled out specific editors at the bbc for a good deal of criticism?” specific editors at the bbc for a good deal of criticism? i think what the case has seen is gone into some details of the decision—making process “— details of the decision—making process —— process. it wasn't surprising. i have seen it cases like this where witnesses have gone through such detail and commentary made on their liability or otherwise and so it was unusual in that way or surprising in some ways. just as often they do... it seemed to be

very detailed. for me as a journalist, i thought certain sections of the judgement showed that thejudge was sections of the judgement showed that the judge was not an expert in law or doesn't know what actually goes on in newsrooms. and that is the challenge we have to deal with in newsrooms. judges don't understand how news is made and gathered. there are certain sections of it that i thought struck me as slightly naive on the part of the judge. but this is a judgement that we will have to cope with and see if he gets appealed. david banks, thank you very much indeed forjoining us from skype. boris johnson, who quit as foreign secretary ten days ago, has launched an outspoken attack on the prime minister's brexit strategy, accusing her of dithering and urging her to change course. in his resignation statement to the commons, he told mps it's not too late to save brexit. theresa may said earlier that the final deal with the eu must honour the referendum result — but also be workable,

protecting jobs and livelihoods. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg reports. even the light bulbs at the grandest of houses need changing. the resident here is changing soon, too. what's your brexit plan, mrjohnson? borisjohnson on his way out. today was the time to explain himself. why one of those who sold brexit so hard to the public thinks the prime minister's plan sells us out. mrjohnson, ever conscious of reputation, used an unusual resignation speech to say why. personal statement, mr borisjohnson. after decades in which uk ministers have gone to brussels and expostulated against costly eu regulation, we are now claiming that we must accept every jot and tittle. we continue to make the fatal mistake of underestimating the intelligence of the public.

0uch. he says the government's telling you one thing and doing another. a convinced small band of brexiteers surrounded him today but some former remainers stayed away. it is not too late to save brexit. we have time in these negotiations. we have changed tack once, and we can change against. —— change again. the problem is not that we failed to make the case for a free—trade agreement. we haven't even tried. not even two weeks ago, he signed up to the plan hatched here at chequers, where they are doing already? —— arguing already? mrjohnson making the case that the government would have to change course and returned to the prime minister's proposals she set out in a speech more than a year ago. let us again aim explicitly for that glorious vision of lancaster house. a strong, independent self—governing britain

that is genuinely open to the world. not the miserable permanent limbo of chequers. we need to take one decision now before all others. that is to believe in this country and what it can do. cheering not a wholesale heroes reception, look at those crossed arms. but it matters. even though almost too strangely to be true, he was speaking while she was speaking, sticking to her lines. if you looked at the white paper and the agreement we came while she was speaking, sticking to her lines. if you looked at the white paper and the agreement we came to in chequers, you'll see the proposal we are putting forward as we are no longer a member of the customs union, no longera member of the single market. while she was speaking, sticking to her lines. many mps dismissed borisjohnson

believing his credibility is shot. but he gives a bellowing voice to widespread concern that teresa may's brexit with caveats wasn't a real brexit at all. it was a serious warning, changed tack or there could be more trouble. it was a very unusual encounter with boris johnson. one where he didn't make anyjokes. the headlines on bbc news. sir cliff richard has been awarded initial damages of £210,000 after winning his privacy case against the bbc. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has called on the prime minister to tear up what he called her "miserable" plan for britain post—brexit. a 20—year—old man has been found guilty of plotting to kill the prime minister in a suicide attack inspired by the islamic state group. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's

here. hello. a surprise in rugby union today as sam warburton announced his retirement from the sport. the former wales and british and irish lions captain isjust 29... he had scheduled a comeback for his club cardiff blues but knee and neck problems have ruined those plans... warburton made his debut for wales when he was 20 and went on to captain the side more times than anyone... here's our rugby union reporter chrisjones... we know he hasn't played since the third test back in 2017. it is a lwa ys third test back in 2017. it is always a year ago to the day but many thought warburton himself would come back fit and firing after a good preseason having had over a year out of the game. but clearly after so many surgeries, the mental and physical toll that all would have taken, he got back into preseason training and his bodyjust could not deliver what it has done

in the past. it is a great shame that he has to give up at the age of 29. it is far too young you feel for a player who had so much more to give but also we can celebrate quite a fantastic career for a man highly respected on and off the field. geraint thomas has won stage 11 at the tour de france, and taken the overall race lead. the welshman took advantage as this morning's leader greg van avermaet struggled in the alps, putting in a great ride to win the stage by 20 seconds. behind him, team—mate and defending champion chris froome finished 3rd — he's up to second overall, one minute and 25 seconds behind thomas. there's 10 stages to go until the race finishes in paris. former england defender gary neville has criticised the football association's plans to sell wembley stadium for £600 million. a government select committee has started hearing evidence from the fa and other interested parties on whether selling wembley is a good idea.

the fa say it will benefit grassroots football but neville disagrees. the faa failed to fund the grasses programme. they have to sell the national stadium. it's ridiculous. i agree with everything you put into that statement before that... this isa that statement before that... this is a nonsense. it is a nonsense. forget wembley, the fact, what is next? to have to build another 540 pitches? and then what happens after that? this is not long—term thinking. liverpool have agreed a world record fee with roma for brazilian goalkeeper alisson. the £67 million deal is the most any club has ever paid for a keeper. the 25—year—old joined roma from brazilian side internacional two years ago, playing 37 serie a matches last season. alisson played in all five of brazil's world cup matches, keeping three clean sheets. the club are now free

to talk to the player. the premier league record for a keeper is the £35 million manchester city paid benfica for ederson last year. meanwhile, liverpool will be without alex 0xlade—chamberlain for the majority of the upcoming season. the midfielder sustained multiple ligament damage when attempting a tackle during a champions league match against roma at anfield in april. liverpool say that the estimated length of his lay—off wasn't revealed because 0xlade—chamberlain, didn't want the news to distract from the reds ongoing champions league run. we are building up to the third golf major of the year. tomorrow's first round at the open. so far the americans have dominated this year's majors but what odds of a return to grand slam success for a briton? may tommy fleetwood, justin rose or rory mcilroy or write can add to the title he won four years ago. there is so much depth. if it is not

jordan, it's jordan. if there is so much depth. if it is not jordan, it'sjordan. if it is not berks, a dispatcher. and so on. there are some great players and it just seems like at this point in time they are all playing really good golf at the same time and it is going to be tough. it will be tough to beat them this week, tough to beat them in france. and that is just the way it is, europeans had their nice run of two years ago and ijust think these their nice run of two years ago and i just think these things work in cycles. right now all of these guys are playing really good golf and they are some of the best players in they are some of the best players in the world. deservedly so and they will take some beating. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in sportsday at half past ten. a man has been convicted of plotting to attack number ten and murder the prime minister. a jury at the old bailey heard naa'imur rahman, who is 20, was arrested after a major undercover operation involving m15,

the police and the fbi. he had planned to blow up the gates to downing street before attacking heavily armed police with pepper spray and a taser. dominic casciani reports. nowhere to go. this is the moment his aspirations to become a farmer endedin his aspirations to become a farmer ended in a rest. the 20 one rd home was college dropout convicted today of preparing to attack the prime minister. —— 21—year—old dropout. he was researching targets in whitehall passing of the downing street and then the gates of parliament. reconnaissance for a terrorist attack. and all to avenge the death of his beloved uncle seen here. the islamic state group fighter killed ina drone islamic state group fighter killed in a drone strike in syria last year. grief stricken he went ahead with a plan they had been secretly forming. he was two years in the planning this attack. we believe he was of an extremist mindset. he had received instructions from his uncle in syria and affiliated to daesh. we

believe his aspirations were that he wa nted believe his aspirations were that he wanted to mount an attack in the uk. but we did not exactly know at that stage what his target was. and his capabilities. short on skills but not on ambition, he decided to go for the heart of power, downing street. the slightly built a 20—year—old saw himself blowing up the security gates over there, taking out our police with a taste and pepper spray before sprinting inside number ten. he told jurors it was all a fantasy. but at the heart of the evidence was the operation which revealed his true intentions. he contacted is commanders online but did not realise they were from mi5. but did not realise they were from m15. they hooked them up with an undercover police officer masquerading as a fixer. and he revealed his plan. physically going to number ten downing st, —— two

theresa may... he then asked the officer to fit his rucksack and jacket with explosives. and this is what he got back. a fake bomb and his jacket supposedly primed to detonate too. the sort that that's the suspect claimed in court he had been set up. but the trial was essential in saying that he was serious. a good undercover officer whenever we suspect. there will never be the person to suggest what the offence is going to be. the most important thing is to actually be able to prove that they meant to carry out this act. and the last thing on any of the cover officer's mind is using entrapment because they know that would never stand up in court. he swore it reaches to the lummox stayt group and the jury decided those work came with intentions. —— islamic state. he carried away what he thought was a real bomb. detectives investigating the grenfell tower fire have carried

out three interviews under caution, as they look into allegations of manslaughter and potential health and safety breaches. 72 people died as a result of the blaze. the metropolitan police say their inquiries have moved into a new phase, which will involve planned programme of interviews under caution. there have been no arrests. inflation held steady last month, at 2.4%. it's the third consecutive month that it's remained at the same level. it had been expected to rise. the office for national statistics says rising fuel, gas and electricity costs were offset by a fall in the price of clothes. today's figures mean although average wage increases have slowed to 2.7%, they remain above inflation. their story of survival has captivated the world — now, the 12 schoolboys and their football coach, who were freed from a flooded cave complex in thailand last week, have appeared in public for the first time since leaving hospital. at a news conference, the boys answered questions

which had been vetted by psychologists — one boy describing the moment a british diver found them as "a miracle". 0ur correspondentjonathan head was at the news conference. two weeks ago, they were trapped and near starving. to look at them now, you would hardly know it. the most famous football team in the world made theirfirst famous football team in the world made their first public appearance since their astonishing rescue with smiles and traditional thai greetings. they then began to kick around for the waiting journalists. watching at home was the family of the team captain who turned 13 while in the cave. his stepfather hasn't been able to see him yet. with just a few hours to go, it is hard keeping his emotions back. translation: i am just waiting to

welcome them as soon as he gets here, he said. we'll all be there. i just to hug him. for the first time we had a chance to hear what happened to the 12 boys and their coachin happened to the 12 boys and their coach in their own words. they had gone to explorejust coach in their own words. they had gone to explore just for an hour they said. but found themselves cut off by fast rising water. the 14—year—old who speaks the best thing job among them who said after 90 days when they heard that two british divers close by. translation: we were digging and we heard someone talking. but we do not think it was real so we stop and listened. but as it turned out it happened. it was real. i was shocked. i thought they were thai officers. but when they came out of the water, i found officers. but when they came out of the water, ifound out officers. but when they came out of the water, i found out they were english. i do not know what to say them so ijust said hello. it was a miracle. i was shocked. them so ijust said hello. it was a miracle. iwas shocked. for

there is an ending as happy as this. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good evening, there is a little bit of rain in this forecast, some heat and some sunshine. we have had decent sunshine today. that converts into clear and starry skies overnight. some showers as well, most of those will fade so the majority of places will be dry with clear skies. a range of temperatures, north west scotland into single digits. in the south, overnight lows of 13—15. tomorrow, it isa overnight lows of 13—15. tomorrow, it is a fine looking dry day tomorrow with a small chance of a shower across eastern scotland and into north east england. and later in the day, things cloud over from the north west. a bit of rain into the north west. a bit of rain into the western isles of scotland by the end of the afternoon. temperatures on the low side, 15 degrees in

stornoway contrasted with 28 in london. another hot day in the south on friday, rainerfurther north and late on thursday, thunderstorms in the south east, but mope spaces —— but most places will be dry for the weekend. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... sir cliff richard says he's relieved after winning his privacy case against the bbc. he's been awarded £200,000. borisjohnson appeals to theresa may to reconsider her brexit strategy, warning the uk will exist in a state of "miserable, permanent limbo" unless she changes course. but this evening, the pm got a rapturous reception as she met her tory mps, as she tries to bridge the brexit divide. a 20—year—old man has been found guilty of plotting to kill the prime minister, in a suicide attack inspired by the islamic state group.

more now on sir cliff richard winning his privacy case against the bbc over its coverage of a police raid on his home in 2014. sir cliff richard told itv news that senior managers at bbc have to "carry the can". the bbc is considering an appeal. this is what cliff's long—time friend, gloria hunniford, had to say earlier. i think we definitely did see the stress on his body, you know, while he was fighting the case. i mean, it's been four years and four years... sorry, four years and £4 million of lawyers' fees. so it's been constant. and i think, well, there was one point, i think i was recorded as saying he was pretty well skin and bone at that time. but, you know, he has tremendousjoy about him anyway as an individual and he has tremendous tenacity, and he was determined to fight this case. and in a way, even if he hadn't won the case, i think he's won it as far as the public is concerned.

because personally, i've never heard so many people saying, i hope he wins this case, and it was terrible, that invasion of privacy. and he's won it in privacy law. the bbc director of editorial policy and standards, david jordan, says the judgement could have a "chilling effect" on the ability of the media to report when somebody is the subject of a police investigation. he said the bbc will look in depth at the 200—page judgement, before deciding on whether or not to appeal. well, i think the bbcjournalists who were involved in this took their decisions in good faith. and the biggest issue here is not the behaviour of individualjournalist who all did what they thought was right at the time, in the right way, but the usual principle which the judge has raised about weather it is appropriate for news organisations to report weather somebody is under police investigation. that is a very big issue which possibly requires some more investigation in higher

levels of court that court which made this judgment. back to westminster, where former foreign secretary borisjohnson used a resignation speech in the house of commons to deliver a withering assessment of theresa may's brexit policy. let's take a listen to some of what mrjohnson had to say a little earlier. it is as though a fog of self—doubt has descended. and even though our friends and partners liked the lancaster house vision, it was what they were expecting from an ambitious partner, what they understood, even though the commentators liked it and the markets liked it, my right honourable friend the chancellor i am sure observed the pound soared. we never actually turned that vision into a negotiating position in brussels. and we never made it into a negotiating offer. instead, we did that. and we burned through our negotiating a capital. we agreed to

hand over £40 billion exit the with no discussion of our future economic relationship. we accepted the jurisdiction of the european court of the key aspects of the withdrawal agreement and, worst of all, we allowed the question of the northern irish border, which had hitherto been assumed on all sides to be read dilip -- been assumed on all sides to be read dilip —— readily soluble, to become so politically charged as to dominate the debate. after decades in which uk ministers have gone to brussels and expostulated against costly eu regulation, we are now claiming that we must accept economic help with no say of our own and no way of protecting our businesses and entrepreneurs from rules now and in the future that may not be in their interests. but let's again aim explicitly for that

glorious vision of lancaster house. a strong, independent, self—governing britain that is genuinely open to the world, not the miserable, permanent limbo of chequers. not the democratic disaster of ongoing harmonisation, with no way out and no say for the uk. we need to take one decision now before all others. and that is to believe in this country and in what it can do. there is time. and if the prime minister can fix that vision once again before us, then i believe she can deliver a great brexit for britain, with a positive, self—confident approach that will unite this party, unite this house, and unite this country as well. borisjohnson, and unite this country as well. boris johnson, speaking and unite this country as well. borisjohnson, speaking in the commons earlier this afternoon. the leader of the neo—nazi group national action has been sentenced

to eight years in prison for keeping the group going, after it was banned as a terrorist organisation in 2016. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, reports from the old bailey. when the time comes, they'll be in the chambers. jack renshaw, the neo—nazi who plotted to kill his mp, speaking in blackpool in 2016. you can call me nazi, you can call me fascist, that is what i am. he was a member of national action, which was later banned as a terrorist organisation, but some members went underground, doing fight training at this improvised gym and meeting most weeks at this pub in warrington where, last july, jack renshaw made an announcement. sitting here at this table that night, jack renshaw told his fellow neo—nazis that he planned to kill his local mp, rosie cooper, and a female detective who had been investigating him for grooming boys for sex. he said he wanted to kill them in the name of what they called ‘white jihad'.

his plot was thwarted because a mole inside the group that night told the antiracism campaign hope not hate. renshaw‘s weapon, a sword, was later found by detectives. in the commons today, the effect on his planned victim was clear. may i, on a personal note, thank the prime minister, thank the leader of the opposition and every single member of this house for the kindness they've shown me. i am delighted to be in my place, to be able to ask the prime minister a question. the jury couldn't decide if renshaw had remained a member of national action, but the group's leaders, christopher lythgoe and matthew hankinson, were jailed today for belonging to a banned organisation. both knew about his plan. the two men who started national action and the violent ideology renshaw embraced — alex davies and ben raymond — were not on trial,

but we tracked ben raymond down to a bedsit in swansea. ben raymond. daniel sandford, from the bbc. 0h, bleep off! you set up irresponsibly this neo—nazi organisation. you irresponsibly set up a neo—nazi organisation. do you deny all responsibility for that? bleep! daniel sandford, bbc news. president trump has again defended his meeting earlier this week in helsinki with russian president vladimir putin — after a backlash over comments he made afterwards, in which he sided with president putin over his own intelligence services over claims of russian meddling in the us presidential election. yesterday, he told reporters that he'd got his words wrong, saying, — when he meant, "why wouldn't they?". today, he claimed no president had been as "tough" on russia as he has. is russia still targeting the us?

is russia still targeting the us, mr president? thank you very much, no. we are doing very well. we're doing very well, probably as well as anybody has ever done with russia. and there's been no president, ever, as tough as i have been on russia. all you have to do is look at the numbers. look at what we've done. look at sanctions. look at ambassadors not there. look at, unfortunately, at what happened in syria recently. and i think president putin knows that better than anybody, certainly a lot better than the media. he understands it and he's not happy about it, and he shouldn't be happy about it, because there's never been a president as tough on russia as i have been. 0k, thank you very much, everybody. thank you. well, following those remarks, mr trump's press secretary, sarah sanders, was asked to clarify whether the president believes russia continues to pose a threat to us elections in the future.

i got igota i got a chance to speak to the president after his comments and the president after his comments and the president said, thank you very much, and was saying no to answering questions. the president and his administration are working very hard to make sure that russia is unable to make sure that russia is unable to meddle in our elections, as they have done in the past and as we have stated. this president is actually taking bold action in reform to make sure it doesn't happen again, but he does believe that they would target certain meet us elections again. sarah sanders. the democratic unionist mp ian paisley could be forced into a by—election for his north antrim seat. mr paisley is set to be suspended from the commons for 30 days after he failed to declare two holidays that were paid for by the sri lankan government. enda mcclafferty reports. it was a holiday of a lifetime, and the paisley family enjoyed it twice in the space of five months, all paid for by the sri lankan government. this is one of the luxurious hotels where they stayed, in—between helicopter rides

and trips to the country's top attractions. ian paisley reckons it all cost around £50,000, but the real cost could soon be felt by the north antrim mp, as he's facing a lengthy ban from westminster. 30 sitting days, which will stretch across three months, and £15,000 in lost wages. that's because he broke house of commons rules. after months of investigation, the standards commissioner found that ian paisley breached the rules by asking the prime minister for exclusive benefit for sri lanka, having received personal hospitality from that government. failing to declare that hospitality in his letter to the prime minister. and, failing to register within 28 days two trips to sri lanka in 2013. ian paisley has undoubtedly brought immense shame upon himself through this. but far more importantly, he has left north antrim

without a voice or a vote at this critical time in parliament, when key decisions are being made about brexit, when votes are on a knife edge. and that's because the ban, if approved by the house of commons tomorrow, will come into effect in september. it's significant for the electorate of north antrim. the people of north antrim. the fact that now — towards september, october, november, the end of this year — we'll have an abstentionist mp as well. and it's the voters in north antrim who may have the final say, as they could soon be sending a petition to oust their mp. or maybe not. he's loved by these people here and the whole of the community. it will never happen. i personally think he didn't really do much wrong. he's deserved to go through what he's done. he should pay the punishment, no doubt. yeah. he knew what he was doing, certainly. i never found anything wrong with ian paisley, to be honest with you, because i had to go to him on a couple of occasions

and he helped me out, so he did. so i probably would vote for him again. it wouldn't cost me any thought. if he was forced to stand down, ian paisley has suggested he would run again. but there are others who feel he should go. i think that ian paisleer should step aside and resign his seat. failing that, i think the onus is clearly on the dup to demonstrate that they are in no way supportive of any lack of integrity in government. the dup says the findings will be considered by its party officers. as for the north antrim mp, he wasn't in his office today, but he has apologised for what he called his ‘unintentional failure to register the hospitality received'. tomorrow, ian paisley will deliver a statement in the house of commons and will also learn his fate. enda mcclafferty, bbc newsline. the headlines on bbc news... sir cliff richard has been

awarded initial damages of £210,000 after winning his privacy case against the bbc. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has called on the prime minister to tear up what he called her "miserable" plan for britain post—brexit. a 20—year—old man has been found guilty of plotting to kill the prime minister, in a suicide attack inspired by the islamic state group. google has been fined a record £3.9 billion by the european union for freezing competitors out of its android operating system. the european commission says the american tech giant unfairly favoured its own internet search service. google says it will appeal. our technology correspondent, rory cellanjones, reports. apologies, we cannot bring you that

report, we will see if we can ove rco m e report, we will see if we can overcome those technical problems and bring that report when we can. it's being claimed poor government estimates suggesting traffic on britain s roads could increase substantially in the near future, will encourage ministers to build more roads and damage the environment. research from the department for transport due out next week, says traffic could increase between 20% and 60% by 2040. but critics say this is a wild over—estimation. 0ur environment analyst, roger harrabin, has the story. how bad will gridlock get? the government is understood to be forecasting increases in traffic of between 20% and 60% by 2040. is this realistic? it is very difficult to forecast just how congested the roads will be in the next 20 or 30 years, but our research indicates people are more reliant on their vehicles now compared to this time last year. one of the reasons for that is

simply because people cannot rely on public transport. but attitudes are changing. driving used to be a rite of passage for all young people. you don't need a car in the city centre, there's no need. i've never wanted to learn to drive, it's easierjust get the train. insurance for someone my age is really expensive, there's the petrol, tax — it'sjust cheaper to use public transport than own a car. young men in particular are driving much less. in 1995, they did 7,000 miles a year, that has almost halved. in fact, people in general are driving 10% fewer miles than in 2002. yet next week, the government will still forecast that potentially huge rise in car travel. the government says these figures will not affect the way transport money is invested. but experts say they inevitably will. this really matters because if you spend more money on roads, you attract more traffic, if you spend more on pedestrians and cyclists, you get more people walking and cycling.

there are choices to be made. the main concern if things do not change is, we will put investment in the wrong places. so when we look at the most progressive, productive cities in the rest of europe, they put a lot more investment into high—quality urban transport systems, rather than into the inter—urban road systems. today's traffic forecasts will help to concentrate minds. roger harrabin, bbc news. 0mega—5 fish oil supplements — they've been touted as an easy way to protect your heart. but now, researchers say the evidence for this is flimsy, at best. a new study has found the chance of getting any meaningful benefit from taking the supplements, is one—in—a—thousand. 0ur health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, reports. cod liver and other fish oils sold as supplements to help protect the heart. but this large—scale study published

today suggests that these supplements do little or nothing. they contain omega 3, considered helpful in preventing heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. cochrane researchers examined trials in over 100,000 people over long periods of time. they concluded the chance of any meaningful benefit to the heart was one—in—a—thousand. this cardiologist was surprised by the findings but says it is clear what people should do. there is no magic pill, no magical answer, and i would say the best way of dealing with cardiovascular disease is to prevent it if you don't have any yet or to prevent future events is to tackle the problem as a whole. so a healthier diet, do some exercise on a regular basis. omega 3 is a family of fats found in oily fish like salmon and mackerel. eating it is still thought to be good for the heart. but representatives of the food supplement industry say that pills can still play an important part in our health. there are massive benefits in terms of brain health, eyesight health,

protection against autoimmune disease and adhd. so i think considering it is safe, why wouldn't you consider taking an omega 3 supplement? whether the study will change people's long—held beliefs in the benefits of taking cod liver and other fish oil pills is not clear. but whatever happens, the nhs says that people should eat fish twice a week to help our health. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. i started pagea ntry i started pageantry in 2016 when i entered the... miss anguila pageant.

and from there, i decided that i wanted to take things further. i wanted to experience a bigger platform and bigger stage. and that's how i entered the miss universe great britain pageant. i was actually chosen to compete in the commonwealth games in scotland and india. and i competed in the world university games on three occasions — in china, russia and south korea. yes, it was very important to me to remain true to myself in myjourney through the miss universe great britain pageant and on stage, because i feel that representation is very important. and when we send the message to young girls that it is ok to be who you are, it's ok to embrace your cultural heritage and to exhibit that with pride on stage, that's a very important message, and i think it's something that i intended to do when i entered the miss universe great britain pageant. i've had a wonderful reaction to being crowned miss universe great britain. i've had massive support from the british public, from anguila. it has been a truly humbling experience and one that i would wish for any girl who wants to compete in the miss universe

great britain pageant. that was dee—ann kentish—rogers. help is being offered to people in scotland who rely on private water supplies and whose springs and wells are drying up because of this summer's unusually warm weather. around 4% of the population in the country get their water "off—mains". kevin keane reports. it might look a lot, but this burn is running at a fraction of its normal rate for this time of year. it feeds a spring which farmer sandy tullock relies on for water for his home and business. this overflow pipe from the well is normally flowing out. today, it's just a trickle, and so the whole family is having to modify what they use. the dishwasher‘s on every second day, on an eco—cycle, which is ten litres. the washing machine is on second, third day. and you just have to be very, very careful, because that's all there is coming in. he thinks it'll be less than a week before the well

runs dry and is already looking at alternatives. you must be doing daily rain dances, are you? well, i'm too old to dance, but i can... i can speak to the gods. they extract water directly out of the river into our wells, which is this arrangement here. and then these pipes... huge efforts are under way to keep mains supplies topped up. because it's relatively flat, moray in particular relies on rivers — rather than reservoirs — to feed our homes. river levels here on the spey have been dropping consistently for weeks consistently for weeks now — and so these pipes have been set up to draw water from it. at the moment, they're capable of extracting an extra 200 litres of water every second. but for those with private supplies, the solutions would have to be much more localised. there are a few options that we can do there, depending on where they're located and the size of the supply that they would have. whether that would be simply providing them with bottled water directly to them,

or we can set up bowsers at their properties, give them tanks of water. in moray, the finance secretary has been seeing the work to keep the water flowing, and he says funds are being made available for local authorities to coordinate alternatives. what it means if the water supply was running dry that we'll continue to have water supplies. that is good for public health and, of course, for ensuring that the whole country is protected through this period, this dry spell that we are enduring at the moment. it was 1954 when the river spey was last this low. with no immediate prospect of the weather changing, the message to us all is to use water wisely. kevin keane, reporting scotland. as we've been hearing, the hot weather has lead to water shortages across the uk, but it's also revealed historic ruins. the water levels are so low at the hawkeswater reservoir

in the lake district that the ruins of a 1930s village can be seen. mardale green was flooded back in the ‘30s to make way for a reservoir to supply manchester. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. is there rain on the way to alleviate those poor water supplies? don't expect those reservoir levels to rise hugely. yes, a bit of rain in the forecast but not an enormous amount. a lovely day for many with a fairamount of amount. a lovely day for many with a fair amount of cloud. that is how it looked in essex earlier. most of the cloud is going to melt away through this evening. 0vernight, clearand starry skies for most with some mist and fog patches developing. and temperatures, quite a range. parts of scotland, the countryside, eight or9 of scotland, the countryside, eight or 9 degrees. in the south, 15 or 16. tomorrow, any early mist clea

zalie with dry weather and sunshine, more sunshine almost than we had today. parts of eastern scotland and north east england just seeing showers but the majority will stay dry and temperatures creeping upwards, 21 degrees in belfast and maybe 29 in london. thicker cloud in the north west. this is the opportunity to grow rain on thursday and friday. a frontal system from the north west. potentially heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland, but as that head south into england and wales, peters out and towards the south, not expecting very much rain at all. friday, here, another warm or hot day. 28 and 29 degrees, cooler further another warm or hot day. 28 and 29 degrees, coolerfurther north another warm or hot day. 28 and 29 degrees, cooler further north for belfast and newcastle and edinburgh. into friday evening, this is where the south east does have a chance of some rain. hit and the south east does have a chance of some rain. hitand miss thunderstorms likely from the near continent, a lot of uncertainty about how many we will see, but if

you catch a downpour on friday night, you really will know about it. our rainmaker sides to the south east on saturday, high—pressure reasserts control, sitting long way down to the south—west so still patchy rain and extra cloud working around that height, but basically, it isa around that height, but basically, it is a fine weekend. saturday, early showers in the south, spells of sunshine. temperatures are little lower, 19—25d, but that will be temporary as we get into sunday, temperatures creep upwards again. the best sunshine across southern and south—western parts of the country, always more cloud further north and west, but temperatures are beginning to creep up into the 20s but glasgow, belfast, 28 or 29 in london and temperatures climb further still into next week. for the weekend, spells of warm sunshine, a little patchy rain, but nothing too much develop those reservoirs. —— to fill up those reservoirs. hello, i'm ros atkins,

this is 0utside source. isa is a lovely pictures to start the programme with. it's all smiles in thailand as 12 boys rescued from a flooded cave leave hospital, they've been speaking about their ordeal, and the moment they were found. translation: we heard a noise. we were afraid they would walk past us. it was a miracle, it was a miracle. i was shocked. borisjohnson gives his resignation speech in parliament — typically, he didn't go quietly. it is not too late to save brexit. we have time. the us's intelligence agencies say the threat to the us from russia is ongoing. the president has had more explaining to do after this comment.
