this is bbc news, i'm julian worricker. the headlines at 8pm. theresa may tells borisjohnson to apologise, for a newspaper article in which he said that muslim women who wear burqas, look like bank robbers. i think boris johnson i think borisjohnson used language in describing people's appearance thatis in describing people's appearance that is obvious the caused offence. it was the wrong way which use, he should not have used it. six men are found guilty of trying to smuggle albanian migrants in speed boats across the english channel. a court hears that england cricketer ben stokes — on trial for affray — was not acting in self—defence — but with revenge, retaliation, or punishment in mind. also coming up. we follow a spanish journalist, who was held hostage by the so—called islamic state, as he returns to syria he returns to the cells in raqqa where he and other men were held by militants, and confronts the men he accuses of being his captors. and water, water everywhere, but scilly has still managed to run out of the stuff, as the heatwave takes its toll.

hello good evening and welcome to bbc news. the prime minister has said borisjohnson should apologise for comments he made in a newspaper column yesterday, in which he said muslim women wearing the burqa looked like bank robbers. the former foreign secretary had already faced demands from the conservative party chairman, brandon lewis, to say sorry for the article, which compared women who wore the full face veil to letterboxes. speaking in edinburgh, theresa may said his comments were wrong, and that he had no business telling women how to dress. our political correspondent jessica parker is in westminster for us tonight. with the prime minister not making

her comments, this is all going up the scale or two. certainly, the prime minister saying boris johnson should apologise that certainly has a little bit of extra pressure on the former foreign secretary. this all occurred yesterday when he wrote in his column in the daily telegraph about the burqa. he was actually speaking against the idea of a total ban in public of the full face veil, such a ban has recently for example been brought in denmark. he said he does not think is the answer. however, used pretty strong language as you were alluding to their on his thoughts about the burqa saying in his few women who wear it look like letterboxes and bank robbers. many people were quick to seriously criticise boris johnson for using the kind of language, among them a number of muslim groups saying he was pandering to the far right. some

labour mps was pandering to the far right. some labourmps said was pandering to the far right. some labour mps said his comments were outright is that a phobic and today we learned the chair of the conservative party, brandon lewis, has told borisjohnson he thinks he should apologise and tonight we learned the prime minister agrees. first of all, i believe in the government believes that the question of how a woman should dress asa question of how a woman should dress as a matter for a woman's individual choice. nobody should be trying to tell a woman hashish address. as we openly discuss these issues it's imperative that everybody is careful in the language that they use. it's very clear that the language that borisjohnson used to very clear that the language that boris johnson used to describe people's appearance has caused offe nce. people's appearance has caused offence. it's not like which i would use, and he was wrong to have used that language and i think i agree with brandon lewis. i agree with brandon lewis, i think borisjohnson used language in describing people's appearance that is obviously cost offe nce. appearance that is obviously cost offence. the wrongly wish to use a should not have used it. on the key

issue about women's ability to wear the burqa as they choose to do so that should be an matter for a woman to choose. of course the question really is will the former foreign secretary apologise his magazines at this stage that he probably won't. a source close to the former foreign secretary today and suggested he would not be apologising about such calls were ridiculous that there needs to be a full and frank and open discussion on the issues, and some conservative mps have backed we re some conservative mps have backed werejohnson. they some conservative mps have backed were johnson. they say some conservative mps have backed werejohnson. they say he should be able to address these matters in a frank way. on the other side of the argument the former chair of the conservative party now a conservative peer says borisjohnson should apologise and what's more she says that if he does not apologise that should be some kind of the plenary action and this is all a bit ofa plenary action and this is all a bit of a headache for the conservative party because they have arty had calls for the muslim council of britain for an calls for the muslim council of britainforan inquiry calls for the muslim council of britain for an inquiry into alleged, from yet in the party. they're

saying with this latest development that think they definitely should have an inquiry and the article underscores the need for one. six men have been found guilty of trying to smuggle albanian migrants across the english channel. the old bailey heard that one vessel was so overcrowded, it started to sink and those on board had to be rescued. the national crime agency described the plot as "staggeringly reckless," and said the men had been risking lives for profit. two other defendants were found not guilty. frankie mccamley has the story. around a mile and a half off the coast of kent in the pitch black, a boat designed for six people carrying 20 and taking on water quickly. 18 albanian migrants on board. each had paid £5,500 for the crossing. all desperate to be rescued. the only two on board with life jackets were robert stewart and mark stribling both pleading guilty and being convicted of people smuggling two years ago.

today these six men from the same gang found guilty of conspiring to smuggle people across the channel. this is an excellent result for national crime agency. we're very pleased with the result. it sends a clear message to other crime groups who are thinking about facilitating people of the english channel by this dangerous method that we will look to identify you and look to prosecute you. it was what officers found next to this slipway in dymchurch, kent, that launched the whole investigation. one abandoned boat and after making initial enquiries they realised that that was part of a much bigger operation. please cover the film another boat being prepared for a trip to france. wade on the phone was cleared of all charges called to say the water is too dangerous to travel. the pair

then struggled to get the gps system to work. the next day, francis said he deliberately ran out of fuel after getting suspicious about the operation. yet, another failed after getting suspicious about the operation. yet, anotherfailed a trip for the gang he meant they had to be more creative. three members meet via jet ski to do the job instead of. the police arrested him soon after, their plans were so dangerous they had to be stopped. it was a reckless operation and making money out of those whose only hope was for a better life. sentencing will take place next month. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:45 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are jim waterson, who's the media editor at the guardian, and jack blanchard, who's editor of the politico london playbook. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has challenged

theresa may to set out clearly what britain's future relationship with the european union will be. the two leaders have been holding talks on a range of issues in edinburgh. from there, scotland's political editor, brian taylor reports. a meeting then, but there's a meeting of minds. the leaders formally sign £1 billion city deal formally sign £1 billion city deal for edinburgh and southeast scotland. first outlined last year and atmosphere brexit uncertainty, the prime minister enthusiastically emphasised the gains. as a great day for the southeast scotland and exciting step towards a brighter future for this wonderful part of the united kingdom. a deal ends funding for both governments. local authorities, businesses and universities. in the festival city cash is already flowing. city leaders hope today's finalised plan

would keep the momentum going. the city deal gives us the opportunity not only to embrace what is so special about our capital city, but expand on what is so fantastic about out expand on what is so fantastic about our capital city giving us money for infrastructure and housing. they make what's going on behind me so vibrant and continue to be vibrant for generations,. so edinburgh, and happy face for festival time. it also rules out cash for glasgow and dundee. one of brexit goes wrong? would have brexit ends up a tangled mess with no clarity over future tray with eu or perhaps even no fixed deal at all? it would be catastrophic and that would not be allowed to happen. the danger is if the prime minister continued to her current track to pretend the chequers deal which even within her own party seems to be dead is the way forward, then there is a way that we end up there and she must set out what her plan is. so will it

be happy times ahead or will the brexit bubble burst? a seven—year—old boy has died in a house fire in south east london, which police are now treating as murder. the body ofjoel urhie was found after the blaze in deptford in the early hours this morning. his mother and sister escaped by jumping out of a first floor window, and are being treated in hospital. jenny kumah reports. the charred remains of a family home which was engulfed by flames in the early hours of the morning. it took the life of seven—year—old joel urhie. his family say he dreamed of becoming a fireman. today, investigators are picking their way through the evidence of what police believe is a suspected arson attack. i would directly appeal to anybody who was in the area or saw anything suspicious at around 3:30am or who has any information about who was responsible

for starting the fire to contact the police immediately. his father, who moved out of the family home five years ago, visited the scene earlier. the alarm was raised at around three in the morning, neighbours were woken by the unfolding horror. initially, i got woken up to the screaming of, i think, the mum or one of the women. my flatmates are safe, ijust don't... i can't even imagine what they are going to go through now. around 35 firefighters tackled the blaze. before they had arrived, joel's mother and stepsister jumped from the first floor. they were taken to hospital, their injuries are said to be non—life—threatening. police described joel as an innocent boy who lost his life in what should have been the safest place for him. jenny kumah, bbc news.

a court has heard claims that the england cricketer ben stokes, mocked and exaggerated the mannerisms of a gay man, and became abusive towards a bouncer, shortly before allegedly getting involved in a fight at a nightclub. he and two other men, deny a charge of affray, in bristol last september. our sports editor dan roan reports. he should have been training with his england team—mates today for this week's test match at lord's, instead, ben stokes was back in court. also here, bristol bouncer andrew cunningham, a witness to the events leading up to the brawl at the centre of the case. stokes is accused of losing control and attacking two local men, ryan hale and ryan ali, in the early hours of september 25 last year, all three denying a charge of affray. head doorman at the mbargo nightclub, cunningham said that earlier, ben stokes had been spiteful, angry and a bully, after he refused the cricketer and his england team—mate, alex hales, re—entry to the venue.

the court was shown this cctv footage. cunningham claimed ben stokes, who he described as the ginger one, insulted his teeth and prominent tattoos, and then mocked two gay men, making camp gestures and throwing a cigarette butt at one of them. defence barrister gordon cole qc suggested that cunningham, who said he did not like cricket, had been aggressive towards ben stokes and alex hales. definitely not, said the doorman. cole said the cricketers had been laughing with the two gay men about stokes's gold encrusted shoes, suggesting it was just playful banter. the players were laughing at them, not with them, insisted cunningham. the court heard from then local resident, max wilson, who filmed the fight on his mobile phone. the men, he said, were clearly drunk and sounded like football hooligans. one of the investigating police officers then told the court the footage showed both hale and ryan ali holding bottles

and cricketer alex hales, who was interviewed under caution, but not arrested, deliberately stamping on ryan ali, before kicking him in the head. stokes is one of world cricket's highest profile talents, helping england beat india last week. but his team will have to make do without him in the second test. the trial continues. dan roan, bbc news, bristol. the headlines on bbc news. theresa may tells borisjohnson to apologise, for a newspaper article in which he said that muslim women who wear burqas, look like bank robbers. six men are found guilty of trying to smuggle albanian migrants in speed boats across the english channel. a court hears that england cricketer ben stokes — on trial for affray — was not acting in self—defence — but with revenge, retaliation, or punishment in mind. sport now, and for a full round up,

investor and it will be less money going into the club and more going out of the club. joseph abassi think back with writers to gaze in the championship. middlesbrough are up at home to sheffield united. that's all the spore for now i'll have more for you in at half past ten. donald trump has warned anyone trading with iran that they will not be able to do business in america, following his re—imposition of sanctions on the country over tehran‘s nuclear programme. in a defiant response, the european union promised to protect companies trading with iran, and ministers here said firms can use eu law to protect themselves from american penalties. for more how this might affect the iranian economy lets talk to dr aniseh bassiri tabrizi. she's an iran expert at the royal united services institute and joins us by webcam from west london. good evening to you. how much of an

impact do you think these sanctions coming in today will have an ironic? we know this is the first batch of sanctions, and because of their scope they are likely to target less the reigning economy than the ones in place in the 11th of november which tackle the oil sector and the energy sector which is the main drive of the iranian economy. however, we know that it's going to be already and it's going be difficult for the administration to fix these issues relate to the economy that he has been talking about and promising to deal with already in the first place but especially since may when he was reelected on the promise that he would deal with the iranian economy. it really true for the investment and trickle—down effect of the iran deal that trump decided to withdraw from. why has the economic picture

in iran not brightened more in the last little while given that of course it's been without those sanctions in recent times?|j mentioned sanctions in recent times?” mentioned in the past couple of yea rs mentioned in the past couple of years the situation improved slightly compared to the past and the situation was much worse, especially between 2010 and 2012 when the sanctions were imposed by the united states but also by the broader international community. including the european union which opposed an embargo and a series of sanctions which i iran from the system. of course the reach of the sanction is really high, but at the same time there's a number of countries including the european union ones which are not going to impose their own sanctions differently from one habit in 2010 and 2012. how vulnerable does this

make the iranian president? u nfortu nately, make the iranian president? unfortunately, very. he has been promising the iranian population to deal with the economy since 2013. 0ne deal with the economy since 2013. one of the reasons why he was elected in the first place was not the nuclear deal in itself, but it was the nuclear deal for what it would mean for the iranian population and now that it is weakened because of the us withdrawal as their sanctions were in positions we know he is not only going to be allowed to face criticism for not being able to abide by his promise but also because the situation with the economy is critical. we have seen a number of protests emerging in iran between december and january and even now number of protests in different cities of the iran demanding a better situation of the economy. but in terms of the domestic environment with the

population but also within the centre of powers in iran he's going to struggle a lot. thank you very much indeed for coming on. the increase in life expectancy in the uk has stalled in recent years, and the slowdown is one of the worst, of the world's leading economies. the office for national statistics says women have been particularly badly hit. between 2005 and 2010, the increase in life expectancy per year was 12.9 weeks for women, and 17.3 weeks for men. but the next six years saw the figures fall to 1.2 weeks for women, and 11.2 weeks for men. our health editor, hugh pym, has been looking at the data. we are living longer but the speed at which life spans increased in each generation is flowing. as the main message of a new report which looks at life except tenancy across a range of wealthy nations. medical

advances have helped more people to live longer but healthier lives and enjoy their retirement years, bould of the biggest slowdowns in the rate of the biggest slowdowns in the rate of increase has been in the uk.” think there's too many fast foods now. we always just had plain think there's too many fast foods now. we alwaysjust had plain meat and veg meals. this is a big problem in this country at the moment. possibly lack of exercise. i'm very surprised, actually. ithought possibly lack of exercise. i'm very surprised, actually. i thought the generation people would start to live longer. so what do the figures actually show? male and female editor can see at birth rose consistently in the uk from the early 1980s until 2011, but from then the rate of increase slowed right down. in effect stalling at just over 79 for men, and just under 83 for women. so how does that compare with other countries? here's the trend for a female life expectancy at birth from 2000 to

2016. first in the uk which started in the middle of the pack. here's the czech republic which has nearly caught up from a lower start. japan and spain are among those pulling away from the uk. so is their uk factor that might explain this? some argue it's probably down to austerity policies including cuts into social care and england. when you cut services, when you cut adult social workers coming in and checking on old people and meals on wheels, and bus subsidies and the nhs, that has the effect on health. others argue more research is needed on people public lifestyles and general health issues.” on people public lifestyles and general health issues. i think it's far too sadistic to blame austerity any changes in our longevity. we have to look more widely and the way we live our lives and lifestyle, the way we have become more obese as a society and eat unhealthy food. wilson to look at wider issues like

our housing and public health and immunisation. there's differing views on what is happening but muster a deeper debate is needed on why the uk seems to be moving against the tide running in many other economies. to discuss this i'm joined by former pensions minister sir steve webb, who is now director of policy at royal london. what do you make of these figures? ic statistics every day and these genuinely shocked me. to think about what we have just tired, a genuinely shocked me. to think about what we havejust tired, a baby genuinely shocked me. to think about what we have just tired, a baby girl being born every year without she would be of three months, another three months, another three months and now it's a week. that's the scale of what has changed him if he was having everywhere would say it's going on globally but everywhere we have gone out of kilter with the rest of the developed world and it's quite striking. they can ask ourselves what is happening in the uk specifically? and this was in a period that we were doing quite a

lot better? and 2010 we were saying significant advances as we did the previous century. we get used the idea that we were going to go on living and longer and so for this to grind toa living and longer and so for this to grind to a halt its rate dramatic it is not just one grind to a halt its rate dramatic it is notjust one year, notjust an bad winter or hot summer, a dodgy flu vaccine, it's six years worth of things slowing down. how do we best find out why it? some of it we won't know for a while because these things, how long are we going to live birth is speculation for 80 or 90 years down the track. we should look at things like in that piece you just heard about social care spending and i have a strong suspicion that the fact that it's much harder not to get into a care home so there are more older people living on their own probably not properly care for and that's part of the story, but that's my hunch about what we need is government, so it's nobody‘s java government to solve this. how does a bit and if it's due up this. how does a bit and if it's due up at disobeying government needs to

grasp this and find out why.” up at disobeying government needs to grasp this and find out why. i was talking to a guest from the national statistics office an hour ago and asked whose desk does this report lindon and the problem is that lands on matzoh desks. which means nobody in effect. nobody is held to account for this in the nhs is only part of the story of how we live our lives and actually government needs to join these bits together and at the moment it'sjust not join these bits together and at the moment it's just not on the agenda. lifestyle habits are still part of this presumably. the jobs we do have gotten better and there's this industry that has helped. the hear about things like obesity and the fa ct about things like obesity and the fact that children are less active, all these things to put into reverse of the guy has been going on for a century and that would really be quite staggering. presumably when we look at this list in its 20 countries in total you can look at the ones doing a lot better and think what can we learn from them? and countries in scandinavia who are

doing as well as we were six years ago did much better in the following six years i cannotjust be about the economic crash and countries having to adapt. did we cut spending? fact we're looking at other countries is very important, japan offers some encouragement today because they had a very slow period and it's now back to back and it can be done it does not have to be permanent. united states running roughly in parallel over the last six years or this period. pretty near the bottom and to be honest anything to do with health where we are near the united states is not a place i want to be. the spending policies would have been different. which is what is not just a single answer to this. we note the gap between rich and poor in the uk was narrowing in terms of how the life expectancy. that is now going to reverse what success austerity as part of the story. figure very much. steve webb former pensions minister. she goes for gold in the 100 metres

at those championships. being held in berlin and let's go there now. there to guide us into the race. really building in the 100 metres final at or amend the avatar being introduced to the near capacity crowd here at the lubbock stadium. just introduced the reigning european champion and around 10.9 eight. grace tried in this advance but it staff me who is the favourites to win this. she is just about to be introduced to the crowd as you emerge into the stadium in a moment. that's the introduction for the women's favourites to win this 100 metres. she ran 10.93 and her semi final and came into this meet

as the favourite and want to be tasted every bit the favourites and that semi final. that tempo 93 was just one 100th of a second outside our british record as she said at the meeting in oslo. do not really the meeting in oslo. do not really the one to watch in this final. she is attempting to become the first british woman in over 50 years to win gold in the 100 metres at the european championships. she is the defending champion over 200 metres and has had a great season. 0ne defending champion over 200 metres and has had a great season. one goal and has had a great season. one goal and when i have interviewed her on the circuit this year she talked about how she feels more like a challenger and ijust about how she feels more like a challenger and i just got to about how she feels more like a challenger and ijust got to be there but feeling she can go out there but feeling she can go out there and win, not a lot of pressure on her as the line—up falls, she's going to be to her left and the woman that has been very good this event and to her right on thejena. the athletes now will be just

introduced to the crowd as they settle into this race. it should be a terrific race i will hand you over now to the commentary team on bbc. perchance, her moment. will it be golden? how quick can she go? how quick will she need to go? france on the far side, great britain, touch —year—old elaine two. the defending champion in three. adjust that gets the sir. tried to

chase and the number at the minute, chasing. clear and gone. and it's cold! 10.85, a new british record! what a fantastic rate, 10.85 and the favourite has delivered. she smashed her own british record to when not. two cheers for the lady in second place. but what a performance. the first british woman to win a gold medal in the european championships for some 50 years. i spoke to her mother earlier this evening and she talked about how proud she is over what she has been doing this season. and she is here with her husband as well. she told me that the genes come from her and not her husband. the champion claimed ten 99. new

british record, 10.85. dabney skippers, has to settle for third and it does not end there. she will be running in the 200 metres, and the question is can she do the double? that was some race. thank you so much forjoining us. and back with him a little bit later on because we have the men's100 metres final coming up shortly. we do not often see a sprint racer run by a —— one by such a coverage of that. we return to berlin a little later on and specifically we will take you to indonesia now. more than 105 people have now died, following sunday's powerful earthquake that hit an indonesian island, and two days on, survivors are still being found. the 6.9 magnitude quake was the second to hit the area injust over a week. mehulika sitepu reports from lombok. it's 48 hours after

the earthquake hit lombok. a man is pulled out the collapsed mosque. and a search for survivors continues. nearby, a 23—year—old woman is rescued after being trapped beneath a flattened convenience store. translation: they thought they smelt dead bodies, but when we opened up an access point, it was just rotten eggs. then we heard a voice. the ones that survived have been taken to the nearest hospital which has also been damaged by the earthquake. patients are being treated in tents outdoors, mostly suffering from broken bones. translation: there are too many patients. we have to prioritise who among them need the most help.

so, for patients that can bear the pain, we put them on hold. we handle those who are in emergencies first. 0n the gili islands, many continue to wait to be ta ken to safety, but now thousands have been able to leave. it was really scary. there were so many people injured, but nobody came to the island. so maybe we were there for, like, 12 hours before a boat came or anybody came. since sunday's earthquake, hundreds of after—shocks have been felt in the area, with more expected. for the rescue crews it means treacherous conditions, as they continue their search for survivors. mehulika sitepu, bbc news, lombok. the islamic state group's kidnapping and murder ofjournalists and aid workers brought the group s depravity and brutality to the world s attention.

ricardo vilanova, a spanish photographer, was one of their captives. he says that his tormentors were a group of four british jihadists, dubbed "the beatles" by their captives. the gang are thought to have tortured and murdered as many as 27 people. in this exclusive report, mr vilanova returns to syria with our middle east correspondent, quentin sommerville to find the former prisons where he was held, and the men he accuses of keeping him captive. 0n the river euphrates, ricardo vilanova, a photojournalist, is on a personal assignment. ricardo vilanova, a photojournalist, war he says brings at the best of us. and the worst. in raqqa, he experienced both. he has come to find his formerjail. and his formerjailers, a gang of britishjihadists known

to the prisoners as the beatles. this is the place but we do not know exactly where it is because maybe the house was there but... it was destroyed. he was held captive for eight months. he and his british, french and american cell—mates were moved regularly to prevent any western rescue attempts. once an is stronghold, this ground now belongs to the kurds. a house was destroyed by a coalition air strike. this is the place. this was the view that ricardo saw. a rare glimpse of sunlight from underneath his blindfold. we were having the room, and we slept there and we had the toilet there. on the second floor. now ricardo is free to go where he wants. the cells under raqqa's stadium are a reminder that is

brutalise a population. a new sadism was born here in this is prison. he was held nearby. ricardo heard the screams of the tortured and dying on a daily basis. we would spend three months here in a cell like that. three people. eventually his government secured his freedom, ransoms were paid. then, he went back to work. but his task here is not complete. here are the men suspected of imprisoning him. they are accused of torturing and killing 27 hostages. ricardo wants to confront them. he says they are cowards who fled the battlefield. they refused to answer his questions and quickly bring the interview to halt.

before he leaves, he takes a final picture. but they want to shut him out. afterwards, he gave me his reaction to the meeting. translation: i wanted to see the suspects and look them in the face, that is it. the first thing i thought when i saw them was ghadaffi or saddam. they were able to torture and murder but when the moment arrived they handed themselves in order to survive. i think that is despicable. should they face the death penalty? translation: no, i do not believe in the death penalty. but i think they should spend the rest of their lives in prison and in the same conditions they kept their hostages. his tormentors are now dead or injail.
