he was targetted deliberately. the boy has now been released from hospital. officers have released images of three men they would like to speak to. the boy was taken to hospital where he is being treated for serious burns to his arm and face. a 39—year—old man from wolverhampton has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm and remains in police custody. our correspondent olivia crellin is following the story for us. . .. police have given a press conference outside the home bargain store where this incident happened and if we take a listen, we can hear what they told us. i'm really pleased to say the little boys been discharged now. he says he's back with his parents and at the moment, we are uncertain as to what the extensive those injuries will be and what the long—term implications are, but it's really pleasing that he's been released from the hospital now.

at the moment, the injuries he sustained are in relation to his face and his arms, yes. and you can't say whether they will be life altering, can you? at the moment, it is too soon to say, we hope that it is a consequence of the care he had and the response services, but it is too soon to say at the moment. and we don't know precisely what the substance i what the substance at him is, we should point out that obviously, there's been horrified reaction to this. absolutely, worcester, a city in the middle of this kind of a quiet and peaceful city, and it's been known according to statistics as the fifth safest city in the uk. indeed, worchester city council, made this statement, highlighting that fact. also robin walker, the mp for worchester has responded, he described the incident as horrific and has been on twitter, he said — it's also worth pointing out that

a home bargain spokesperson, the store where the incident happened has released a statement saying — our thoughts are with this young child and his family at this most difficult time. the brexit secretary dominic raab says he's confident britain will have a deal to leave the european union by the time of the next meeting of eu leaders in october, the deadline for negotiations set by the other 27 member countries. mr raab also said it was right for the uk government to step up preparations over the summer in case a deal can't be agreed in time. the former conservative prime minister sirjohn major warned that a ‘no deal‘ brexit could result in dire economic consequences for ‘those who could least afford it'. here's our political correspondent jonathan blake. laughter

it sounded like they all agreed, but at the cabinet meeting last week, some around the table were still unsure about the prime minister's and for brexit. the new brexit secretary admits some senior ministers are yet to be convinced of theresa may's compromise for a future relationship with the eu. but, this morning, he sounded confident a deal could be done. i am striving every sinew with our department, with michel barnier, who i think is a man who wants to do a deal with us — tremendous pressures on his side — to get the best deal. but we've got to, i think it's only the responsible thing to do, to be prepared if those negotiations and the energy and ambition and pragmatism we are showing are not reciprocated. so that's the responsible thing to do, whether it's the allocation of money, preparation of our treaty relations, or hiring extra border staff. i think people need to know that actually we are ready, so that britain can thrive, whatever happens. the ambition and the pragmatism,

we'll get a deal done in october. but while the government still claims no deal is still better than a bad deal, labour see it differently. no deal should not be an option and that's why we wanted a meaningful vote in parliament and why we called on the government, in the event of us voting down such a deal in parliament, that they would be required to look at renegotiating the deal. because a no deal would be absolutely catastrophic for industry. if the arguments about britain and the eu sound familiar by now... good morning, mr major. this man has heard more of them than most. a former prime minister back with his now familiar warning. if we crash out without a deal, the people who have least are going to be hurt most. it would be a terrible betrayal of the interests of everyday people, who really are not political. dominic raab will be back in brussels this week. he said it was a good sign that the eu's lead negotiator, michel barnier, was asking questions about the uk's plan and not rejecting it out right. jonathan blake, bbc news. three members of the

anti—corruption unit at the metropolitan police are being investigated over claims they covered up or failed to properly pursue allegations of wrong—doing by other officers. the independent office for police conduct, which is carrying out the investigation, says a number of other officers are also being assessed. a little earlier i discussed this with our home affairs correspondent tom symonds — he started by giving some background to the case. this is the department, the directorate of professional standards at the metropolitan police, that itself investigates problems with police officers, either criminality by police officers or breaches of police guidelines, misconduct. the police watchdog today says that it is investigating a series of allegations against officers working within that directorate. i understand they are to do with effectively helping fellow officers who are under investigation themselves for a range of things.

for example, fraud and child abuse, and misconduct in other ways. either interfering with those investigations or stopping them from happening at all. very serious. the police watchdog says they are looking at serious corruption and malpractice. the investigation is in the early stages. but three mid—ranking officers have been told formally that they are being investigated. presumably, speed of the essence here because the public needs to have trust in those who are supposed to be investigating the anti—corruption claims, or alleged anti—corruption claims? absolutely. that is the significance of this. it is striking at the heart of trust must lie in the metropolitan police to make sure is doing ethically, professionally the right thing on a day—to—day basis. the met has a long history of various corruption investigations, quite controversial, dating back to the 1970s. the difference with this one, in

the past corruption has been around police working with criminals. this is about the police, attentively corrupt police, working with other potentially corrupt police. tom symonds. scotland yard say a man has been charged in connection with the preparation of a terrorist act. he‘ll appear before westminster magistrates‘ court tomorrow. the forty three year old from south london was arrested on friday on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon and making threats to kill. officials in afghanistan say ten people have been killed in an explosion near kabul‘s international airport. it took place shortly after the afghan vice president, abdul rashid dostum, returned to the country after more than a year in exile. he left afghanistan last year amid allegations of torture and abuse. his motorcade had left the airport only minutes before the explosion. jordan says it‘s taken in more than four hundred

virgin media customers have lost access to ten tv channels showing popular shows including ‘taskmaster‘, ‘red dwarf‘ and ‘one born every minute‘. it‘s all down to a row between the company and uktv over fees. uktv says virgin wanted to cut the amount it paid for the channels; but virgin says uktv is unable to provide programming on demand, because of restrictions imposed by its joint owner, the bbc. the channels disappearing include dave and gold. i asked our business correspondentjoe lynam what‘s really happening here, and he said it boils down to two key things: money, and how we view tv. money, yes. they were going to cut the amount of money they‘ll spend up auk the amount of money they‘ll spend up a uk tv, which makes up the channels, etc, and that of course would of gone back up to the uk tv for abuse reasons, but also uk tv

we re for abuse reasons, but also uk tv were prepared to —— were not prepared, because our viewing habits are changing. because we no longer sit to the same extent, we watch on demand, especially younger people who watch on their phones, when they wa nt to who watch on their phones, when they want to watch and what they want to watch. but uk tv said, no. we will offer the set programmes, linear tv, and virgin said, that‘s not really been use to us, because want retain the young audience. so, wherein in an impasse, and those tales have not been switched off. my neck so was this a bigger problem for? big white they do not get the advertising

revenue, because they‘re not on the platform that they were originally on, and they had a huge fixed cost, they‘re making original content, that cost money, from their point of view, it could be reputational damage if you lose popular channels, relatively suddenly. people may decide that they‘re going to be subscribed from virgin and sign—up to the sky or whatever. and as far as that, uk pays sky to host all of these tv programmes in these channels. so it is a lose lose situation, it is very much a showdown at the corral, one only suspects that he would take a couple of more days or weeks before the sorted out, but in the meantime, millions of viewers and not be watch the shows that they love. will they be able to sorted out, could these channels reappear? they absolutely

have to sorted out because there is no wonder if it stays like this. online training people, they love this. jordan says it‘s taken in more than four hundred syrian white helmet rescuers and their families from war—torn southern syria. the volunteer rescuers have been evacuated by bus overnight through the israeli—occupied golan heights. the civil defence workers and theirfamilies had been trapped by a syrian—government offensive in the south—west of the country. all this comes the day after hundreds of rebels and theirfamilies arrived in hama province in northwest syria after being evacuated, after a deal was struck with the syrian government. our middle—east analyst, alanjohnston, joins me now remind us who the role they carry out. rebel held towns and city, crammed with civilians with jets, during these

battles a nd civilians with jets, during these battles and cause devastation in residential areas. in very often, footage would emerge of the white helmet rescue crews racing into a newly hit building, searching for survivors, tending to the wounded in getting people to the hospital. bowling children and others out of the rubble and debris, and the danger that the jets would come the rubble and debris, and the danger that thejets would come back and to the west, and many who or regarded the white comments is the only heroes. the government and its supporters gave them very differently, they said they were is the stooges of the west, they would be loathed by the syrian government and supporters. so this particular group and theirfamily and supporters. so this particular

group and their family members who have been evacuated, they were effectively trapped and party syria and there was a concern by the supporters that they were being hunted down. there was real concern for the safety of these people. this was a rescue workers who have been operating in the southwestern corner of syria, an area that had been under rebel control for years, but in the last five weeks or so, the syrian government forces have been recapturing across the southwestern corner of syria and there was a real concern over the white helmet organisation itself and internationally among diplomats at the white helmet rescue workers would be targeted by the syrian government, given the way that the government, given the way that the government views these people, that this has happened and we understand elsewhere further north in syria after government forces of iran areas, had white comics, the people there have been persecuted,

tortured, imprisoned, forced to make false confessions —— white helmets. involving a huge degree of cooperation and coronation. to allow these people for what is an enemy state still to allow these people to emerge and pass the occupied areas overnight and go into jordan pass the occupied areas overnight and go intojordan where they say they have been in a secure location. these governments were approached at the very highest levels by european governments and the british, canadian and us and so on, and they‘ve had cast—iron guarantees that within three months these people will be relocated to countries in the west. some will go to germany and others will come here

to germany and others will come here to britain and perhaps there aren‘t other countries in the west. when i thank you very much. i‘m joined from amman by caroline anning, save the children‘s syria advocacy manager. thank you forjoining us. so the rescu e rs thank you forjoining us. so the rescuers are being rescued themselves, the children‘s perspective of the work of the white helmets. there are definitely no doubt that, given the scale of the violence in this area, to see this huge use of explosive weapons unpopulated areas that has led to people being pancaked on top, they have clearly done by the life—saving work, putting their own lives at risk. so, you have to commend them for that work. later you have to remember that this is really impressive that this is been able to

happen, an international effort to get these people in these families out, by the same time, the violence was ongoing. there are children trapped at the border without access to humanitarian aid. in any humanitarian aid that is been done from the white helmets, to schools and hospitals, they also appear for the lives now. i think it is an important step forward. why a reminder that there are other people clearly in peril as well is there any attempt to pull those workers that a danger if required? people are working behind the scenes to try and ensure the safety of the international aid agencies and many others. we could not do our work and help children and families on the ground without the network of the syrian humanitarians of been there, stayed in dangerous conditions and

are doing things like running, running clinics, running schools and nutrition programmes. all sorts of work to keep the children and families safe. and trying to work with parties to ensure that those people are safe, that does not necessarily mean that they are evacuating from the country, but they are protected where they are and are not targeted. by virtue of what they‘re doing there obviously courageous people, they are probably not very easy to persuade to pull out of situations, because they are used to facing the danger, i think is yellow with this is something we see day in and day out it start to approaching, and violence is approaching, and violence is approaching, bc those videos and photos of things being blown up, they want to carry on. they want to help people, they want to see that

the most vulnerable our help. —— our help. thousands across the country, but we don‘t hear about, but their day in and day out doing what they can to help. advocacy manager, thank you so much for your time today. the french finance minister, bruno le maire, has said a trade war is now a reality, and is threatening global growth. he was speaking at a g20 summit in argentina where finance ministers and bankers from the world‘s leading economies denounced president trump‘s policy of imposing trade tariffs. translation: we ask the united states to see sense. we call for them to respect multilateral rules and to respect their allies. world trade cannot base itself on the law of the jungle. the unilateral increase of tariffs is the law of the jungle. the law of the jungle, the law of the fittest, this cannot be the future

of global trade relations. police are continuing their investigation of a park in salisbury, in connection with the poisoning of a couple with the nerve agent novichok. charlie rowley — whose partner dawn sturgess died — has left hospital but is still unable to return to his home, which remains cordoned off. katy austin reports. the source of the novichok has been found, but forensic searches go on. a park bench was the focus on saturday. nearly two weeks after dawn stu rgess died, charlie rowley was discharged from hospital. his brother hasn‘t been able to contact him since. i phoned the hospital and they confirmed he had been released and there was an official statement. i haven‘t spoken to him yet but i hope to in the next few days. it was at charlie rowley‘s home here in amesbury that the small bottle containing the nerve agent was found. charlie has now spoken with detectives, who are now looking

into what he has told them, and while there‘s no evidence he or dawn sturgess were specifically targeted, charlie has been given personal safety advice. it‘s unclear where he is at the moment, or whether he will be able to return to normal life soon. people in salisbury also wonder when normality can return to their city. ifeel, as a local, that we haven‘t necessarily been kept in the picture of what‘s going on. because we are very local, we live five minutes away from all of this. and for salisbury, it has been hugely disruptive. it‘s really affecting the city, which is tragic. i don't actually find it that worrying. it is reassuring that they are actually doing something. they've got to be covered to be able to look for what they are looking for and if they think there's something there, they need to be completely covered, so ijust think the sooner they find what they are looking for, the better. but the investigation into the latest tragic contamination incident is far from over with counter—terror detectives not yet saying who they think is responsible. katy austin, bbc news. eleven taxi drivers have been shot

dead in south africa. they were ambushed by unknown gunmen late on saturday as they were returning tojohannesburg from a funeral. four others are seriously injured in hospital. rivalry between groups running minibus taxi routes has led to violence in the past, but the motive for this attack is not yet known. japan is in the grip of an intense heatwave that has killed more than 30 people and caused thousands to be taken ill. temperatures reached 40—point—7 degrees celsius during a record—breaking week where thermometers haven‘t dipped below 38 degrees. the soaring temperatures are complicating recovery efforts following floods and landslides, which killed more than 200 people earlier this month. at least 10 people have died in vietnam in floods caused by typhoon rains which struck central and northern parts of the country. the waters have also damaged thousands of homes and destroyed crops. aaron safir reports.

a violent force of nature that vietnam knows only too well. these waters were unleashed by typhoon, the third tropical storm — son tinh — to hit the country this year. it made landfall on wednesday evening, damaging infrastructure and crops through thanh hoa and nghe an provinces. yen bai, like many other areas of the country, continues to suffer floods and landslides in the storm‘s wake. nationwide, around 4000 houses have been damaged and thousands of hectares of crops have been destroyed. these waters have come quickly, but it will take much longer to repair the damage. vietnam‘s rainy season is betweenjune and november, and storms and floods frequently claim hundreds of lives. so far, around a dozen people are confirmed dead and a similar number are missing. but with several communities still isolated and a warning of more rain is to come, that number could rise.

aaron safir, bbc news. mps are calling for a consultation on whether to ban the sale of real fur in the uk. the environment, food and rural affairs committee has been investigating why many high street retailers illegally sold fur described as fake, sarah corker reports. in the 1990s, evocative anti—fur campaigns raised awareness of the issue. decades on, some shoppers have been unwittingly buying real fur labelled as fake. the mis—selling was exposed by campaign groups and the media, including this investigation by the bbc. it emerged that several major retailers had sold products described as artificial, but tests showed were made from fox, rabbit and chinchilla. now an inquiry by the environment,

food and rural affairs committee accuses retailers of being complacent about the problem. the reason why people buy fake fur is so that they're not wearing real fur, so it's pretty shocking that they can get away with that, really. i'd be disgusted to ever find out that something was an animal product that i hadn't knowingly bought into. so i don't think it's acceptable in any way, shape or form. furfarming was banned in the uk in 2000 but it is legal to sell some types of real fur imported from other countries if it is accurately labelled. during this inquiry, evidence was taken from retailers here in camden to learn how realfur was mis—sold as fake, and what changes have been put in place to make sure it doesn‘t happen again. and the report calls for clearer labelling and stronger enforcement of the rules by trading standards. mps also want the government to begin a consultation on whether the sale of all types of real fur should be outlawed. sarah corker, bbc news.

stays hot across areas that the week, a little bit cooler and cloudier. hello this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines. a three—year—old boy who was seriously injured in a suspected acid attack in a shop in worcester has been released from hospital. one man‘s been arrested and police want to speak to three others about the incident. the new brexit secretary says a deal with the eu can be reached this autumn — but dominic raab says preparations have begun — in case negotiations end without agrement. the police watchdog is investigating allegations of serious corruption and malpractice at the metropolitan police‘s own anti—corruption unit. under the cover of darkness. hundreds of white helmets civil defence workers and their families have been rescued from a war zone in southern syria and taken to jordan. virgin media customers have lost all ten of uktv‘s channels, because of a row between the two companies over fees. it‘s time for sport

and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘s olly foster. hello. we are witnessing a dogfight. the day started with a three—way tie for the lead. by the time tiger woods had stormed to the top of the leaderboard, but it is all changed. let‘s cross live to the course now. jean—marc finisterre. all change and we are struggling to keep track of this. an astonishing final round at the open. he really is an astonishing final round. especially when you consider that tiger woods was out right in the lead on his own at one stage. a huge war on the tenth behind me when he saw fish himself an incredible bunker shot. but it was the holes after where he has really struggled. the 11th a double bogey, he was way off the fairway hitting a spectator, he

double bogeyed and then bogeyed the following hole. three job charts for tiger woods in his last hole which has seen them, down the leaderboard —— three drop shots for tiger woods. on the leaderboard there are five players currently in a tie for the lead. rory bacary with an impressive eagle at the 14. —— rory mcilroy. then comes the americans, kevin chappell on six and the xander schauffele on 11. jordan spieth joining them there also 311 hole. remember, at the start of the day we had xander should fray, kevin kisner and jordan spieth —— xander schauffele. all a nine under par. you can see today how tough this course is playing here. with the increased wind that we have had this afternoon. notable as well, the advantage of going out earlier this morning as 80 dead. the clubhouse leader on five par. he teed off earlier this morning,

leader on five par. he teed off earlierthis morning, eddie. you leader on five par. he teed off earlier this morning, eddie. you can see how tough it is for those out there. it is a real dogfight. really ha rd there. it is a real dogfight. really hard to call at this stage. we know how tough the final few holes here are. you might rememberfamously in 1995, ending up in water around the 18th. really tell. follow and i think the winner of those at the top of the leaderboard will be whoever contends with those really challenging final few holes here at carnoustie. we saw roy mcilroy fluffed his lines a little bit today —— rory mcilroy. he is right back in there at the top of the leaderboard but he had a terrible finish across both holes yesterday and maybe that will come into play because he dropped two shots on the last three oi’ dropped two shots on the last three orfour dropped two shots on the last three or four holes yesterday. he did. it's always been the way with roy mcilroy. if you can get his putter going he is always there or thereabouts. that has been certainly thereabouts. that has been certainly the problem in the earlier holes

today, but that eagle at the 14th i certainly think could give him some much—needed momentum going into these final few holes. forjustin rose as well is also there are five under, just one shot off the lead. he very nearly didn't make the cut, he didn't even make the weekend. he needed that birdie at the last on the 18th to make the cut, make the weekend. he is paid incredibly well to pull himself back into contention. worth pointing out as well he has birdied the last on every single round. don't take your eyes offjustin rose, but of course we wait to see what roy mcilroy can produce because you need some momentum now and that eagle at the 14th mightjust momentum now and that eagle at the 14th might just get momentum now and that eagle at the 14th mightjust get him it. we will see, tom watson at hardisty many thanks indeed —— john watson. see, tom watson at hardisty many thanks indeed ——john watson. at carnoustie. what a race we had in constantine. lewis hamilton starts at 14 on the grid at the german grand prix, ended up winning it. this could be a turning point in the formula 1 season because with sebastian vettel crashing in his ferrari, hamilton is on top of the

drivers championship. nick reports. to bea drivers championship. nick reports. to be a world champion, you need ability. up at also luck. lewis hamilton might have thought his was running out. misfortune left him 14th on the grid at hockenheim of championship leader sebastian vettel floor off the line, leading from pole. the britain fought his way through the field, climbing to fifth before halfway. further progress looked unlikely, until a storm arrived, shaking up the race and the championship. sebastian vettel is the biggest casualty. his pride clearly heard. sorry, guys. expletive backhanded his team—mates the need and till he stopped for wet weather tires. hamilton almost did the same, but changed tack at the last moment. it was a decision that gave him his fourth win of the season. gave him his fourth win of the season. a result he would never have dreamed of. on a day when his championship hopes were expected to ta ke championship hopes were expected to take a battering, he has ended up back on top. the parrot, bbc news.

other side in their pool. argentina‘s first match saw them beat spain 6—2. final goal from the penalty stroke, argentina were eight below spain in the world rankings coming into the world rankings coming into the world rankings coming into the world rankings coming into this tournament, top germany of that fantastic goal difference they have got. i checked on today putt other matches, confirmation of other wins. benevolence and south are currently playing. netherlands winning 7—0. —— dominic and later new zealand face belgium. at olympic park, the anniversary games came to a closed. greg rutherford has been saying farewell to the london stadium. he finished tenth in the long jump. what an effort ofjust over 7.5 metres. not really what this is about, he has been suffering all sorts of injuries and is expected to retire from the sport at the end of

the season. the last time for him to compete in that stadium where he won gold of course on super saturday at the olympics in 2012. if you cannot train the fundamentals, you cannot expect to be able to win major championships. and for me, i won the european back—to—back life. i don't think it is feasible for me to do it again now. sol think it is feasible for me to do it again now. so i want to get rid of the idea of going to the europeans. get ready for birmingham and have a bit of fun then. but i think this was really, this was it. it was make or break this weekend. i think it is the right thing for me to do. there was one standout performance today. smashing the world record and eight t34 smashing the world record and eight t 34100 metres, at only 17, she beat the great hannah in the race as well who had held the previous record. it meant so much to me. i was so hungry for it today and i really wa nted was so hungry for it today and i really wanted it to be except the race but i knew coming in here she was so amazing, she had the world record and i had to really work hard for it and i was so pleased with the

result. i really strongly season, i did 17.3 seven. so i was like if i can get anything near, i will be happy. also a world record for the world it paralympic champion sophie hahn was in the t 38 200 metres. she broke her previous best. 50 years ago, around 100 people gathered to watch the sister of the us president john f. kennedy once a sporting event designed to celebrate people with intellectual disabilities. today the special olympics as it has become known, the attraction was 5 billion athletes from 170 countries. stewart joined the billion athletes from 170 countries. stewartjoined the celebrations in chicago. special olympics... celebrating half a century and the sporting spotlight on people who had beenin sporting spotlight on people who had been in society‘s shadows. this event at chicago‘s field marks 50

yea rs event at chicago‘s field marks 50 years since the stadium hosted the first vessel olympics. years since the stadium hosted the first vessel olympicslj years since the stadium hosted the first vessel olympics. i was watching you run across that floor. and then you got a gold medal. amelio competed that day as an 11—year—old. inspire a lifelong love of sports. when i did the running 50 metre dash, and i did all the events idid and metre dash, and i did all the events i did and then i kept going, i didn't stop. and i got medals from running andl didn't stop. and i got medals from running and i got medals from bowling and boxing in hockey. running and i got medals from bowling and boxing in hockeym running and i got medals from bowling and boxing in hockey. ifi walk down the street with her, other kids were looking. you know, what is wrong with her, you know. or they would get out of the way. and grown—up people as well, they would just stare. but, you know, now society has changed. that is not happening any more. the special olympics was the idea ofjfk‘s sister. gladiators went into the arena with these words of there with" let me win, but if i cannot win, let me be brave the attempt".

she stood here 50 years ago and declared in front ofjust 100 or so people that one day1 million athletes would take part in the special olympics. several scoffed, but leicester 5 million people and 170 countries were part of this movement —— last year. 170 countries were part of this movement -- last year. she took people with intellectual disabilities and brought them out of institutions. and gave them and theirfamilies hope. institutions. and gave them and their families hope. she institutions. and gave them and theirfamilies hope. she changed lives in that moment. and it‘s been changing lives ever since. what's good about it is, my medals i got more in 100. when i giulio and i feel like a family and i feel like this is where i belong —— when i cheerlead. it helped me a lot to be a happy guy throughout the years of the special olympics since i competed. former chelsea star didier drogba has been a long—time supporter of special olympics, projects in the ivory coast. supporter of special olympics, projects in the ivory coastlj supporter of special olympics, projects in the ivory coast. i think this is the story of my life. more

than scoring goals, i don‘t really talk about this but i think that is my mission in my life. for those gathered here today is a chance to cheer the success of this movement, but also to acknowledge that there are still major goals to achieve virtually quality. stewart pollock, bbc news, chicago. before we go, a quick update on the go i‘m a francesco holds the lead. he is on seven under by himself. you just heard that lewis hamilton has been summoned to see the stewards at the hockenheim. he won the race to top the drivers championship, but maybe he has infringed the rules somehow, maybe with that rather curious pit stop manoeuvre when he changed his mind. we will have an update on that and the next hour. studio: ali, thank you very much. ——

olly, thank you very much. more now on our main story this afternoon and a three—year—old boy has been treated for burns to his arms and face after an acid attack in worcester. police believe the youngster was deliberately targeted in the attack yesterday. in the past few hours, the boy has left hospital. police have been giving more details about the attack. at 2:15 yesterday, at the store behind us, an incident occurred were a young family were out, a young boy appears to have had some form of substance, potentially acid or another corrosive substance, thrown at or sprayed towards him off to spend with his family. a really, really concerning incident and at the moment we are treating it as though it is a deliberate act towards a child. i mean, this is so unusual, isn‘t it, for worcester? it‘s very unusual for worcester. worcester‘s a very, very safe place, it‘s a very cohesive community. what we are appealing for the moment is any information that can help us to try and understand what the motive may be and who may have done this, which is why we are releasing images of people who we‘re interested in speaking to who may be able to help us with our inquiries.

at this stage, are you able to say whether this is a domestic incident or one—off attack or any other thing like that? people are worried. i understand that people are worried. we simply don‘t know. we‘re working through every line of inquiry, keeping an open mind, making sure we look at all of the evidence. i want to ensure the community we are working really, really hard. we have all the resources we need to seek to identify what the motivation was an who‘s actually carried out this crime. thankfully quite rare, but parents will be understandably worried. yeah, i understand that parents will be worried. i‘m a parent myself, and of course people are going to have those concerns. i come back to the fact that worcester is a safe place. this is a very, very rare incident. i will like to praise the staff in the store and the emergency service, who provided quite fantastic care. as a consequence of that, is mitigated the impact of this instance on this little boy. is the little boy still in hospital being treated for those injuries? i‘m really pleased to say the little boy has been discharged now. he‘s back with his parents. and at the moment we are uncertain as to what the extent of those injuries will be and what the long—term implications are.

it is really, really pleasing that he‘s been released from hospital now. and face and arms, wasn‘t it? at the moment, his injuries are in relation to his face and his arms, yes. and you can‘t say whether there will be life—altering, can you? at the moment it is too soon to say. we really hope that as a consequence of the care we had any response of emergency services that there won‘t be the case, but it is just too soon to say at the moment. you‘ve arrested a 39—year—old man. currently arrested, no charges yet? that‘s correct at the moment. we‘ve got a 39—year—old man under arrest. he‘s upping us out with our inquiries at the moment. ——he‘s helping us out with our inquiries at the moment. but we really, really keen to identifying the three people in the images that we should be because we think may have information and may be able to help us. is there anything else you would like to add? i would just like to ask people please, if you know who may be involved with this, please help us. please come forward with the information. the sooner that we can do this, the sooner we can reassure the community and make sure people feel safe when they‘re out shopping around worcester. superintendent marc turnesa from west mercia police.

now on bbc news it‘s time for the travel show. coming up on this week‘s programme: rajan is injordan‘s capital, amman, getting a flavour of what the city has to offer. so good! and i am off forest bathing here in japan. so go slow and take it all in? yes, that‘s the point. it may have once enjoyed a heyday, particularly as a roman city, but in more recent times, safe to say amman has not been amongstjordan‘s most glittering jewels. by the 1940s, its population had dwindled. but an influx of palestinians, then iraqis and syrians over the past few decades has seen it take new shape. and with that rapid rise in amman‘s population, a new contemporary and cosmopolitan atmosphere is developing

here which is very much at odds with the traditional, understated image of the city. and that cultural hotpot of diverse people is expressed through cuisine. so today, we are making it with cauliflower and eggplants, because they‘re in season. maria haddad runs cookery classes which recognise the variety of arab influences in the food. this goes here, in the pot. she wastes no time in putting me to work on the farmers‘ dish called maklouba. arabic food in general is arabic food. there is no such thing as syrian, lebanese. i love that you‘re agreeing with me! yes! maklouba is an arabic dish. 0k. it‘s not a jordanian or a palestinian. sure. everybody, can you just taste this? it's such a pretty colour. that‘s the beauty of amman, you know? you have people who are half—lebanese, half—syrian, half—jordanian, people who are half — and there‘s always halves, you know?

i‘m a combination of lebanese, jordanian and palestinian, and this was obviously an influence from all the refugees that came in a long time ago. maklouba literally translated means ‘flipped upside down‘. and remove it very slowly. perfect. all right! this looks fantastic, by the way, maria. it looks great. i cannot believe that we made this! well, you made this, really. yay! iagree! so good! maria restored this family home and calls this cook—and—dine experience beit sitti — that means ‘grandmother‘s house‘. when we were very young, we used to come here and we used to learn how to cook arabic food from my grandmother. but really, what we do here is a social business, so when my grandmother passed away, we decided we wanted to keep her house open and her memory going and to teach guests the dishes that she used to teach us.

maria feels amman is going through a renaissance. the parents sort of were too busy and they felt like amman wasn‘t really worth investing in. but now, the younger generation is really putting their foot down and saying it‘s time to come to amman, you know? and stay — stay here. maria feels this cultural revolution is driven in part by successive waves of refugees. her house is in the jabal al—weibdeh district, where the community includes brea kdancers and graffiti artists, giving it a surprisingly street art—y vibe. and then, there‘s this. the 7hhills skatepark. wow! that is astonishing! that is a girl who had never even touched a skateboard before today, and there‘s more backgrounds here today experiencing that. brilliant. many of these kids are refugees, practising on borrowed skateboards, and the classes are run by an ngo

called make life skate life. i think i mightjust give this a miss! it is all run by mo zakaria, jordan‘s first prominent skateboarder. this is the future of your country now. i really think it is. i think amman has never been a place of a single nationality, let‘s say. you know, amman‘s become the new york of the middle east. amman has become the new york of the middle east! yeah, yeah. it‘s a nice time to be in amman. that idea of amman will certainly challenge a few preconceptions and so will my next and final stop, because 20km north—west of amman is fuheis, home tojordan‘s first and only microbrewery.

right here, this is our packaging line and bottle storage. jordan — yep, that is his first name — the chief brewer here, told me how they started from scratch four years ago. injordan, there‘s, like, no infrastructure, there‘s no culture, there‘s absolutely nothing related to beer making. so everything in the factory had to come from outside of the country. but what‘s quintessential about the beer are the distinctive jordanian flavours from local produce, like date molasses, grapefruit from the jordan river valley, and even sea salt from the dead sea. putting this brewery together, selling the beer, making the beer, it‘s been an exercise in educating the authorities as to what craft beer is. let‘s not forget that 85% ofjordan‘s population is muslim and therefore, in principle, largely teetotal. but they‘re pushing boundaries and

hoping to create a largely cultural scene. a real tang to it, and you can taste the salt and you can taste the grapefruitjuice. really unique flavour. excellent. and do you know what? it‘s craft beers like this that are gonna help create new aspects to this city and also, i think, break the stereotypes that people might have of bothjordan and the middle east. you‘rejoining me here at the shibuya crossing injapan, one of the most urban societies in the world. and in recent years, tokyo‘s become known as the biggest city on the planet.

but believe it or not, in amongst all this hustle and bustle, people here are finding ways to reconnect with nature. and for travellers, taking part in this could be a distinctly japanese way to experience culture and the countryside. to try and tap into my inner calm, i‘m hitting the road and heading to okutama, a couple of hours‘ drive from the centre of tokyo, to indulge in a spot of forest bathing, or what the japanese call shinrinyoku. it‘s basically about drawing on the therapeutic benefits of being in nature. in tokyo, you are spending a very stressful life. wow. who knew so much nature could be found, you know, in tokyo? i know, right? this is okutama! tokyo! this is still part of tokyo? yes. you would never guess. forest bathing tours like this are becoming hugely popular with stressed—out japanese office workers. the forest therapy society has certified 62 forest therapy sites across japan. it‘s beautiful. yeah, beautiful. masuzawa—san‘s tour includes meditation and deep breathing exercises. so, ok, let‘s practice

breathing methods. inhale from nose and exhale mouth. calming music plays. so, this isjust like hiking, isn‘t it? no! it‘s not hiking. it‘s completely different. so, uh, forest bathing is to feel nature. if you walk first, you can feel anything from nature. so, observing everything in the forests, plants and listening to the sounds of the brook and birds and the smelling. so go slow and take it all in? yeah. the forest bathing movement is gathering momentum around the world as a hot new wellness trend. clinical studies show it can reduce blood pressure,

stress levels, as well as diabetes. shinrinyoku is effective in preventive medicine. it‘s very effective for anti—ageing. anti—ageing? sure. oh, really? so, what do you think? how old am i? how old are you? oh, dear. um... this is tricky — i don‘t want to offend. 40, 45? no. no, i‘m 62. what?! you‘re 62? yes. wow! ok, so i should go home, throw away all my creams, and just come back here. yeah. at the top of the mountains, some of the forest bathing tours include yoga, or you can take a more relaxed approach. i must admit, i was a bit reluctant to lie down in first place, but now that i have, i don‘t think i want to get up.

it has been so relaxing here. i‘m really not quite ready to go back to the city just yet. but that‘s all we‘ve got time for this week. coming up next week... check this out! every little boy‘s dream! whistle blows. we sent rajan into the desert on the trail of lawrence of arabia, 100 years on from the arab revolt. this is a bit worrying. it‘s like they‘re ready for some sort of attack. whoa! i‘m in the middle of a battle! whoa! oh, what the hell?! hands up! you‘re not gonna take me, are you? are we going for a cup of tea? well, i hope you canjoin us for that if you can. and don‘t forget, we‘re on social media, too, so why don‘t you follow us there, and you then can share your travel

stories with the rest of the world? but until next time, from me, carmen roberts, and the rest of the travel show team here in okutama, it‘s goodbye. hello there, parts of england and wales could experience humidity. for tomorrow, warm and humid for many places. there will be few showers around, particularly across the north and west of the uk. tonight these frontal systems will bring sick and more degrees. also a ripple of showers will run across the irish sea into northern england associated with another weather front, too. elsewhere it is going to be largely dry and very warm and muggy particularly in towns and cities. for monday there will be variable cloud up and down the country, some good spells of sunshine breaking through across large parts of england and wales. we‘ll have is whether from continuing to
