and it is monday the 13th of august. iamjoanna and it is monday the 13th of august. i am joanna gosling. welcome to bbc newsroom live. new measures to tackle rough sleeping in england by 2027 are being set out by the government. they include support for mental health and addictions, and funding for housing. the number of people on the streets has been on the rise for the past seven years, with almost 5— thousand sleeping rough each night in 2017. charities have described the strategy as a step forward but still some way from a totalfix . graham satchell reports. we are on the streets of east london with homelessness charity st mungo‘s. 0utreach workers do this every night, checking parks, streets, doorways. this man, who didn't want to be identified, told us he had drug and mental health problems. he has been sleeping

rough for four months. do you feel as though you are getting any help? i don't think i'm getting any help at the moment, no. what will happen to you? what will happen? i don't know. i have been suffering. it is a bit tough and it is quite hard and it is quite scary as well. if you could say one thing to the government, what would you say to them? i would say help the homeless, give them a chance to change their life. the number of people sleeping on the street has more than doubled in a decade. today's announcement by the government promises £100 million to end rough sleeping in england by 2027. it includes £50 million for homes for people ready to move on from hostels and 30 million for targeted mental health services for rough sleepers. this is very much about practical help and assistance, how we want to prevent people getting out on the streets, intervene to give them the help that they need, and ensure that they recovered

so that you actually see people, once they get into housing speedily, actually maintain that. we know there are complex issues over mental health and addiction, which equally need to be supported. charities like st mungo‘s have welcomed today's strategy but remain concerned about the causes of homelessness, like a lack of safe, affordable housing. what we're saying is that much more needs to be done. it is a good start, but it isjust the beginning. and to end rough sleeping by 2027 is going to take a lot more investment. labour says government cuts to benefits, housing and other services have caused the homelessness crisis, and described today's strategy as feeble. graham satchell, bbc news. delays at heathrow airport's passport control left some passengers queuing for up to two and a half hours last month. on 30 out of 31 days injuly, the borderforce missed its target of a 45—minute wait or less for 95% of visitors from outside the european economic area.

0ur correspondent caroline davies is at heathrow. tell us more about how bad it has been and why it is like that. these figures have been from very frustrated airlines who think that the uk border could be better managed. we mentioned the targets. heathrow has targets if you are from within the european union plus other european countries, they expect to get you through within 25 minutes, passport control. if you are from outside, it is 45 minutes, and they aim to get 95% of people within that time frame. in july, aim to get 95% of people within that time frame. injuly, they failed to meet that target from people outside the eea. this has left a lot of the airlines frustrated and say it gives airlines frustrated and say it gives a bad impression that people arriving in the uk. they have blamed

computer processors and vulnerable adults and children who do take longer to process. solutions, we have heard from the chief executive of heathrow, he suggested that perhaps low risk countries such as canada and america, might be able to use the electronic gates. if you have gone to border control you might have seen them, you scan your passport with an electronic chip rather than speaking to a person. short—term solutions, we have heard borderforce short—term solutions, we have heard border force have provided short—term solutions, we have heard borderforce have provided an short—term solutions, we have heard border force have provided an extra 200 additional staff to heathrow across the summer. 200 additional staff to heathrow across the summer. airlines have said they do understand the importance of security at the uk border, but it is very important to show the world that the uk is open for business. is it likely to improve quickly if changes are made? sorry? are things likely to change any time soon? we haven't been given

any time soon? we haven't been given an indication that this is going to change overnight, but it is clearly an issue that the airlines are pushing forward with the uk government, trying to get them to speed things up at the border. lovely, thank you very much. the number of people on the streets has been on the rise for the past seven has been on the rise for the past seve n years has been on the rise for the past seven years with almost 5000 sleeping rough every night in 2017. joining me in the studio is dominic williamson — director of strategy and policy at the homeless charity, st mungo's. thank you for coming in. tell us about the scale of the problem because it is something that used to because it is something that used to be talked about by politicians a lot and it has sort of gone out of the public eye in terms of it being a public eye in terms of it being a public policy issue, it has felt

like, what is the situation? the numbers have been growing, have no? the numbers have been going up every yearfor the numbers have been going up every year for the last seven years. since 2010, the number of people sleeping rough has gone up by a a really big increase. it is across the country. it is not just increase. it is across the country. it is notjust major cities. the public have seen that happening. there has been growing public concern about it. why has it been growing like that? there are lots of reasons. the housing market is very difficult. a lot of people that become homeless and sleeping rough have come out of the private rented sector. cuts to services has had an impact as well. there are lots of different factors involved but it is important now that we have a big effort to reverse that increase. we will talk about what the government is doing in a moment, but first it is doing in a moment, but first it is important to fix a problem, to nail what has caused it, as you are saying, it is a complicated picture.

is it possible to define in a broadbrush way the sort of people who are sleeping rough? where'er they come in from? what is their background? they come in from? what is their background ? everyone sleeping they come in from? what is their background? everyone sleeping on the street have their different story. but there are some factors that have a big impact on people. anyone who ends up on the street is vulnerable in some way. people have ended up homeless, they have nobody else to turn to. often there are other factors involved. a lot of people that st mungo's works with, they have addiction problems, mental health problems, some of those things have come because of the stress of facing homelessness. if you are on the streets, it is easy to turn to drugs or alcohol to help you sleep, for example. it is important to get help as quickly as possible. individual issues in the context of a difficult handling market, tightening welfare benefits entitlements, cuts to services, they have had a big impact as well. all

of these things make it more difficult for people, and then people's individual vulnerability leads them into that position. so the government has got a strategy, £100 million, what difference would it make? this is a really important first step. we support the goals of bringing down rough sleeping. half rough sleeping by 2022 and ended altogether by 2027. we are really supportive of that. we think the strategy they are launching today is an important step towards that. there are lots of really good things in the strategy and we welcome it as a first step. £100 million, we have gone cynical on funding, is this all money that was not on offer before? we need to look into the detail on that. there was some new money there, there is a commitment to new money... some new money? it is hard to know exactly how much of this has

been announced previously but there is definitely some new money there. this is not... a tight environment for services to operate in but it is a very welcome first step. the government needs to go further and they admit that. they say in the document that this is a start. when you break it down with 5000 rough sleepers every night, it equates to £20,000 per rough sleeper and suddenly it doesn't sound like enough to make a difference. that is on any one night, but many more experienced rough sleeping throughout the year, they come off and on the streets. most people who sleep rough do it for a short amount of time. st mungo's, we run a service called no second night out. if they are new to the streets, they are taken to a 24 hour assessment

centre where people can have their needs look at quickly and a solution found quickly. we need more of that kind of service. 0ne found quickly. we need more of that kind of service. one of the things in the strategy is a new service model called nowhere safe to stay which is based on that model meaning people do not have to sleep rough before they... they will make sure that people get the help they need immediately. that is an important step. we need to make sure it is probably an —— we need to make sure thatis probably an —— we need to make sure that is done properly and the government follow through on that. thank you very much. reports suggest at least 67 people, including children have been killed and many are still missing following a blast that brought down a building in the syrian province of idlib. the building is said to have contained munitions belonging to an arms trafficker. idlib is the last major rebel—held area, and is expected to be the next target for syrian armed forces. more than 250 people have been injured,

five of them seriously, after part of a wooden promenade collapsed at a music festival in spain. the seafront platform was packed with crowds watching a rap artist in the northwestern city of vigo when it suddenly collapsed, leaving many people scrambling for safety. some of those involved in the struggle have described what happened. translation: there were a lot of people on the wood promenade and we heard a crunch and suddenly everyone fell and we found ourselves between the wood and the cement. and the cement was covering our heads. so many people were trying to escape, but they couldn't. people screamed and finally we could leave. translation: it was only five seconds, but it broke and all of us fell. i tried to climb, but people continued falling and my foot got stuck, but when i was trying to climb, a man helped me and finally i could leave. ticketmaster has announced it's closing its resale sites to try and combat touts. the ticketing giant is concerned

that seatwave and get me in, websites which allow users to sell unwanted tickets, are being exploited by professional sellers who hike up prices. users will instead be able to sell their tickets directly through ticketmaster. let's talk now to our entertainment correspondent liza mzimbo, about what this means for fans. explain how the system works. ticketmaster is what is known as a primary ticketing site, big bands go on tour, often ticketmaster is the place where you can buy the official tickets. of course, what people find often is that these tickets are snapped up incredibly quickly, especially for the more popular ones, and then they have to go to secondary ticketing fights to try and get hold of tickets that are in demand. the secondary ticketing sites often charge many times the original price for this, so there is a great incentive for ticket touts to snatch as many tickets as they can run the primary sellers like

ticketmaster and then put them on inflated prices and make a huge profit on second ticketing sites. they own two of the secondary ticketing sites. it has been in their interest for their subsidiary companies to get a cell the tickets again. now they have said after a lot of criticism that they are shutting down seatwave and get me in and instead will have a system on ticketmaster when people can exchange tickets for no more than the original cover price. there are other secondary ticketing sites. there are. it is not a solution to the whole problem but it is a step in the right direction. two of the big secondary ticketing sites are going but there are still others owned by ebay and there has been scrutiny in others about practices

and there are still the opportunity for ticket touts to try to sell tickets that they get hold of on those other secondary ticketing sites who can charge a huge amount. but this move by ticketmaster is still a huge big step in the right direction and possibly the writing is on the wall for this kind of thing because of the scrutiny that is coming along. they are getting ahead of the curve on this. thank you very much. and update on our headlines on bbc news. the government is promising money to tackle homelessness in the uk. delays at heathrow passport control left some passengers queueing for up to 2.5 hours last month. and ticketmaster has announced it is closing two resale sites in an effort to combat touts who hike up prices. and in sport, triple champion says she has got the tokyo 0lympics champion says she has got the tokyo olympics in her sites now after winning her third gold. manchester

city boss has stated his side will get even better after cruising to a 2-1 get even better after cruising to a 2—1win in get even better after cruising to a 2—1 win in the premier league season. 2—1 win in the premier league season. liverpool are the early pa cesetters. season. liverpool are the early pacesetters. and kept her health of tiger woods for his second major title in less than two months. i will be back with those stories at half—past. turkey's central bank says it will take all the measures needed to maintain financial stability, after the country's currency, the lira, hit a new historic low. the turkish lira has been in virtual freefall this year and has fallen to a new record low in asian trading. so far this year it has fallen 35 to 40%. the central bank has announced new measures to halt the plunge and we're expecting to hear more from the finance minister today on other measures to calm the markets. let's get more from our correspondent in istanbul selin girit.

tell us first of all why it is that the lira has been so badly affected this year. the trigger of the latest crisis was a rift between washington over the release of an american pastor. he was held injail over disputed terrorism charges for nearly two years and recently he was put under house arrest. but what washington expected from turkey is a release of him so he could go back home, but that has not happened. that is the trigger, but it is not the cause of this crisis. this was a crisis coming. there were signs of it even before the elections that we re it even before the elections that were held in turkey recently. there is high inflation in turkey over

1596, is high inflation in turkey over 15%, there is high unemployment, and there is a huge deficit. the markets we re there is a huge deficit. the markets were expecting, for a while, in strict —— interest rate hikes to ease inflation but that hasn't happened. announcements were made today but it came short of announcing interest rate hikes. that is what markets were hoping for but thatis is what markets were hoping for but that is what the president has been rejecting for many years. what will be the outcome of this crisis? how will it be halted? we need to seem a more concrete action plan coming from the turkish government. when you talk about high unemployment and double—digit inflation at those levels, it is clear the impact this will be having on ordinary people in turkey, what about the bigger picture and worried in europe from countries that have lent considerable amounts of money to turkey? exactly. for ordinary

people, they have already started feeling the squeeze. probably the heat will get worse. having said that, many people in turkey are aligning with the government and saying we don't care if $1 is 50 lira, we don't care, it doesn't hurt us, but they will feel the heat. we are in front of an exchange office at the moment and people are mainly predominantly tourists because coming from europe, coming from middle eastern countries, they are coming with foreign currency and the turkish lira is cheaper, they can for more with what they have. people are queueing and exchanging their money. turkish people are hurt. how will europe the effective? european banks are concerned because if lira wea ke ns eve n banks are concerned because if lira weakens even further, that will put further burden on them. what happens in turkey will of course affect the

european markets, the asian markets. the asian markets have already sell and european shares have fallen as well. turkey is an important country, the banking sector is interconnected to european markets. what happens here will no doubt affect international markets as well. thank you. the muslim council of britain have written to theresa may, warning her that the conservative party's investigation into comments by borisjohnson about the burqa must not be a whitewash. according to the guardian newspaper, nobody should be allowed to victimise with impunity. the former foreign secretary is yet to respond to criticism which began a week ago when he likened women wearing the garment to letter boxes and bank robbers. he makes no mention of it in his latest colu m n he makes no mention of it in his latest column today. it started with an article meant to him arguing

against a an article meant to him arguing againsta ban an article meant to him arguing against a ban on the burqa but there we re against a ban on the burqa but there were controversial statements in it and the reaction has been explosive. where are we now with the whole row? we are more than a week on and... it has become an internal matter for the party following a series of official complaints. as a matter of course, those complaints have to be looked into to see if they warrant any further investigation to see if there was a possible breach of the conservative party code of conduct. that is what the council is focusing on today. it is at early stages at

the moment, they don't want the complaints to be dismissed out of hand, they want them to be considered properly by an independent panel which is the next stage of the official conservative party process. the pressure is still on from boris johnson's critics for those complaints to be fully pursued. if it does go all the way through this process , it does go all the way through this process, it can go as far as the conservative party board which does have the power to expel him from the party but we are some way off that. the pressure from borisjohnson's critics is still on. how is within the party? a lot of people are seeing this as borisjohnson's own ambitions. there has been two stages to this. the initial response to the comments and the article itself, and that clearly divided opinion between those that thought that boris johnson was entitled to express his view and expressing them in colourful language and there was no problem with that, and those who found them deeply offensive. then the fact that the investigation was launched because there had been dozens launched because there had been d oze ns of launched because there had been dozens of complaints made to be conservative party reinforced those divisions. some of borisjohnson's

supporters think that that investigation is being used to damaging politically, perhaps taking down a peg or two because he is being seen as a potential leader candidate in the future. but there are other members of the tory party who has said that he should apologise. the conservative party chairman, theresa may, have said he should apologise. the party around him is divided as to what he should do. but i think the investigation, because this is rumbling on in the background, this provides another platform for both his critics and supporters to express their views. thank you very much. the result of an appeal by a doctor who was banned from practising following a conviction for gross negligence manslaughter is due later. doctor hadiza bawa—garba was convicted after the death of a six—year—old boy in 2011. with the support of some of her medical colleagues, she's been fighting the decision, arguing low staffing and pressure on the front line of the nhs was partly to blame. our health editor hugh pym reports.

six—year—old jack adcock died in 2011 after developing sepsis at leicester royal infirmary. a court later heard there was a catalogue of errors with his treatment. doctor hadiza bawa—garba was convicted of gross negligence manslaughter, later an independent medical tribunal ruled she should be suspended from practising as a doctor for one year. but the general medical council appealed, arguing this was not sufficient to protect the public. the high court ruled that doctor bawa—garba should be barred from practising. backed by some other doctors, she mounted her own challenge to the ruling at the court of appeal, which was heard last month. she had this message forjack adcock‘s family. i would like to, first and foremost, apologised wholeheartedly, once again, to jack's family for my role in the events that led to his death. i am truly sorry for this, and i will

live with this for the rest of my life. but jack's mother nicky argued that doctor bawa—garba should not be allowed to return to work. i hope that the decision will stand where she will still be struck off, she will never be able to work in the uk again, because i know the people that are supporting her are basically all medical professionals and are all from the same profession, of course they are going to support her. the judgment in the appeal will be announced today and will be closely scrutinised across the medical profession. hugh pym, bbc news. we will bring you thatjudgment when it comes. a major survey of the uk's south asian community shows young asians are more socially conservative on issues including sex before marriage and same—sex relationships than their peers in the rest of the population. the report also found over half consciously downplay their asian identity when interacting with other people, in order to fit in. as pa rt of

as part of the big british asian summer series, here is... nomia iqbal. there are more than three million asian people in the uk. this poll looks at the views of mainly indian, pakistani, bangladeshi and sri lankan heritage. it found one third have a socially conservative attitude and don't agree with sex before marriage or same—sex relationships. when it comes to the issue of integration, more than half said they had to tone down their asian identity to fit in, by changing their name, for example. i think that's a really interesting reminder about how integration happens. second generation british asians often have the educational and professional success their parents who came as migrants were hoping they would have. so they find themselves as pioneers in new places. but for priya bagga, fitting in is about balancing different identities. i feel very comfortable with my identity. i am very proud to be asian. i like going to asian weddings

and wearing asian clothes. i am comfortable with my identity. i don't really feel pressured to be westernised. i come from a modern family in general. that has a big influence on me. religion is also a big influence. the poll, which spoke to more than 2,000 asians, found 46% considered their muslim, sikh or hindu faith important, compared with the rest of the uk as a whole, where more than half say religion doesn't matter them at all. i never used to wear a scarf before and i never used to dress in a full on maxi dress. i have gone the other way. i have come to my faith and now i dress completely modestly. so it is not to adapt. it is because i have got to know my faith more and wanted to do more for my faith, to be close to god for my own reasons. while some are confident of their place in britain, others are navigating how best to fit in.

but for those who have made the uk their home, there are no regrets. my father was from pakistan, peshawar, coming to uk has been good for him, it is about coming to the uk with opportunities, education, you have the nhs, we have a lot of good things in england. we have even had good weatherthis year, so, yes, coming to the uk has done really well for dad and for a lot of other asians as well. more than three quarters feel that way. and according to the poll, they consider the uk a country where they can fulfil their dreams and ambitions. a killer whale has stopped carrying her dead newborn calf after doing so for at least 17 days. the mother whale gained international attention because she was carrying the calf for so long. she was spotted without her offspring, but with her pod—mates,

off canada's vancouver island. now it's time for a look at the weather. we canjoin we can join simon. we canjoin simon. thank you. we have got a changeable week of weather this week. it is not going to be particularly warm, particularly cold, or particularly dry or wet. let's take a look. at the moment we have got quite a bit of cloud but there is some sunshine breaking through. this is the scene at the moment in worcestershire, sunshine and blue skies. we have also got showers mostly affecting scotla nd also got showers mostly affecting scotland and eastern parts of england at the moment. this afternoon, showers turning heavy and intense. there will be thunderstorms as well. in yorkshire and lincolnshire. south and east, sunny spells, temperatures getting up to 25 celsius. feeling quite warm. beneath the cloud, temperatures are more like 17 to 19 celsius. this

evening, showers across eastern parts will fade away and then variable amounts of cloud into the early pa rt variable amounts of cloud into the early part of tuesday. tuesday, most parts of england and wales, it will be dry and bright with some sunshine. more cloud and rain moving to scotland and northern ireland. goodbye. this is bbc news. our latest headlines: the government promises more money to eradicate homelessness in england by 2027 and help deal with mental health problems and addictions — but labour says the plan doesn't go far enough. the home office says it's working

to reduce passport control queues at heathrow by deploying 200 extra border force staff. delays left some passengers queuing for up to two and a half hours. ticketmaster says it's closing its secondary ticketing websites seatwave and get me in, which allow people to sell on unwanted tickets. the move is to try to combat touts who hike up prices. turkey's central bank says its taken measures to the lira recover and maintain financial stability, after the currency fell to a new historic low. it's expected to announce its action plan later today. more than 300 people have been injured after part of a wooden platform collapsed at a festival in spain. five of the victims are being treated in hospital. sport now, here's ben. dina asher smith says

it's all about moving to the tokyo 0lympics now after anchoring the british women's relay team to gold at the european championships. it was her third of the week and capped off a golden end to the games in berlin. nick parrott has more dina asher—smith has been making history fast, breaking the british record to win the 100m, beating the world champion to take the 200m title, and last night, with a little help from her friends, becoming the first woman to complete the european sprint treble since 1990. asher—smith comes away, comes away by a distance. you never, ever know how relays are going to go. that's why everybody loves them. you don't know what's going to happen. so i'm just so grateful and thankful for all these girls, doing our best to win for the country, and coming away with the gold medal has been so great. britain's middle—distance runners were showing their strength, too, laura muir dominating the 1,500m, with laura weightman digging in for the bronze. this is probably the most pressure than i've been under, in terms of wanting to win. but i think i handled it

really well, and thankful for all the support i've had back at home, and here as well. keeping count of the laps in the 5,000 metres is key. lonah salpeter losing count allowing her opponent, sifan hassan, to claim the silver. failing to meet the relay final in the most painful way. suffering in this event is nothing new to great britain, but their luck appears to be changing. gold for great britain, a fitting climax. the men matching the achievements of the women, and securing top spot in the athletics medal table. the sports in glasgow concluded too, with british medals in gymnastics but it wasn't max whitlock — but rather dominick cunningham who grabbed the acclaim. he described his gold in the floor final as "what dreams are made of" but world and olympic champion whitlock made a mistake in the pommel horse final and finished down in seventh.

gold went to the commonwealth champion rhys mcclenaghan — who had to train in his garden in his preparations for glasgow. rather ominously, manchester city manager pep guardiola promised his side would get even better, after they started their season by winning 2—0 at arsenal. after less than a week of training, raheem sterling scored his 50th premier league goal to put city ahead. bernardo silva's second half strike capped off a comfortable start to their title defence. liverpool are the early leaders — thrashing west ham 4—0 at anfield. last season's player of the year mo salah opened his account. sadio mane scored twice before daniel sturridge's first league goal since october wrapped up the win. rangers picked up their first win of the scottish premiership season. conor goldson scored the second in a 2—0 win over st mirren. their next focus is defending their 3—1 lead against maribor in europa league qualifying on thursday. indian captain virat kohli said he wasn't proud of his team after they crumbled to an innings

defeat to england at lord's. in a rain affected match, england skittled india out for the second time in the game with stuart broad taking four wickets. india haven't got long to regroup — the next test starts on saturday at trent bridge. tiger woods came close to a first major title in a decade — but it was this man — brooks koepka who held on to win the us pga championship woods final round included eight birdies — the crowd absolutely roaring him on all the way round the bellerive course. he finished two shots behind koepka, who took his third major title in the space of 14 months. for woods — another impressive major showing afterfinishing sixth at last month's 0pen. no one has ever had a fused spine hitting it like i'm hitting it. i've had to work this out on my own. it is really hard, harder than people think. iam is really hard, harder than people think. i am very pleased that what i

have done so far, and now i'm in... to be part of the ryder cup conversation, going from where i come from to now, last year has been critical. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. reports suggest at least 39 people, including 12 children have been killed and many are still missing following a blast that brought down a building in the syrian province of idlib. the building is said to have contained munitions belonging to an arms trafficker. idlib is the last major rebel—held area, and is expected to be the next target for syrian armed forces. 0ur middle east correspondent martin patience says tactics used by the regime means the civilian population of idlib has swelled. there are 3 million people in idlib. this region has seen a swelling population in the last years and thatis population in the last years and that is because the syrian

government have been cutting deals with rebels. they leave areas close to damascus and the south of the country and moved to idlib. in effect, it has become a dumping ground for the rebels. there are 70,000 fighters, according to one estimate, and the big fear is that if there is a big syrian goverment offensive, pushing into what is the last major opposition stronghold in the country, people will simply have nowhere to go. the rebels will fight, because they will not accept any other amnesty deal, and a un is warning that this could potentially turn into a bloodbath. so they are estimating that perhaps tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people may cross into turkey. and i think turkey is a key player in all of this. they have warned against any syrian goverment offensive because

it doesn't want to see hundreds of thousands of syrians pouring into the country, and it doesn't want to see instability in that part of north—western syria. so, some are suggesting we might not see a government offensive, but we might see some kind of political resolution between the major players in syria. passenger satisfaction with rail punctuality and reliability has fallen over the past decade, according to research by the passengers' watchdog, transport focus, and the consumer group, which? the government says it's investing in the biggest rail modernisation programme since victorian times. our business correspondent, joe lynam has the story. new timetables, thousands of cancelled services, angry commuters, strike action, and rising costs — it has not been a happy time for many rail users, and it is evident in a detailed satisfaction survey over the past decade. a study of transport focus data found that overall satisfaction with rail punctuality and reliability has fallen from 79% a decade ago to 73% today, but regular commuter satisfaction fell even further to 62% in that time. on top of that, rail fares could be set to rise by 3.5% next year. that is because train fare increases are tied to the higher measure of inflation,

known as rpi. it could add £150 to an average long—distance commuter. i understand that our passengers have had a really tough time over the last few months. i'm a regular commuter myself. but we have to work together, and with a long—term plan. that's what companies are doing, rail companies are doing. that plan is going to make journeys better over the coming years. it's going to improve the economy, it's going to better connect communities up and down the country. to compound things for some train users, another strike by rmt rail workers is set for next month, in a very long—running dispute about guards on trains. joe lynam, bbc news. anti—racism protestors vastly outnumbered white nationalists attending a rally in washington. around two dozen white supremacists took part in the march, while police kept the two opposing groups apart. it came a year after violence in charlottesville, virginia, that left one person dead. hundreds of chanting opponents denounced white supremacy and racism. 0ur washington correspondent chris buckler reports.

crowd: whose streets? 0ur street! in washington's streets there was anger and frustration, as thousands gathered to demonstrate against a protest by white nationalists right in the centre of the capital, and within sight of the white house. exactly a year before, the same right—wing group had held a controversial protest in charlottesville, in virginia. a woman was killed when a car was driven into a crowd of cou nter— protesters. holding this event on the anniversary of heather heyer‘s death was seen by many as deliberately provocative. while antifascist campaigners filled the streets, only around 20 white nationalist turned up in washington. they had applied for a permit for 20 times that number. who is the intolerant one? is it us, who are here expressing our first amendment rights, or these folks who showed up by the thousands to stop us

from being able to speak, and they are completely indoctrinated? there were brief clashes between processors and police... let's go, let's go! ..particularly as they tried to escort the small group of white nationalists out from gates near the white house. the police had worked exceptionally hard to keep his two sides apart. but the reality is, this has been a huge security operation in the heart of washington, dc, for what has been an incredibly small protest by white nationalists. but, on both sides, the real purpose seemed to be a desire to have their voices heard by the white house. cuba s draft new constitution will be sent out to every corner of the communist—run island today, for a process of national public debate. the new document includes a plan to legalise same—sex marriage in cuba — a country which has historically had a reputation for homophobia. 0ur correspondent, will grant,

reports from havana. hot off the presses, cuba's new constitution. 0rdinary cubans are only now digesting a completely newly written magna ca rta. the changes are proposed — recognising private property and redefining marriage as between two, people not just a man and a woman. these men have been together for 15 years. on an island renowned for the homophobic attitudes of its past, this change, they say, is long overdue. translation: i took a long time to come out of the closet, because i had no points of reference around me. there was no information about it. back then it was a problem and a stigma. translation: we are trying to say there isn't a single type of family. the nuclear family isn't the only one that exists. that's what we are fighting for. cuban society hasn't always been this understanding towards gay men and women.

in the worst years of the 1970s, homosexual people were exiled, sent to work camps, or even prison. today, people seem to want to rectify mistakes of the past, except one institution, which still won't budge on gay rights — the church. in this methodist church in havana, the congregation is deeply committed. but when it comes to the question of same—sex marriage, the message is not of tolerance. the pastor urges them to block gay marriage, striking an uncompromising and conservative tone amid an otherwise more accepting environment. translation: we have distributed material which talks about the original design of the family, that is the family as it has always been known, and we will fight with all of our

strength to make sure this measure isn't included in the constitution. still, it is expected same—sex marriage will be approved. the main supporter the lesbian and gay community have is mariela castro, the daughter of raul castro, and the influential head of the homosexual rights commission. at a recent gay pride march in havana, symbolic weddings were held with blessings from sympathetic members of the church. by the time the next pride comes around, the men, who have already brought up a son together, hope they might be able to get married for real. will grant, bbc news, havana. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... the government promises more money to tackle rough sleeping in england and help deal with mental health problems and addictions. delays at heathrow airport passport control left some passengers queuing for up to two and a half hours last month ticketmaster announces its

closing its ticket resale sites to try to combat touts who hike up prices. i'm ben bland. turkey's central bank has said it is ready to take "all necessary measures" to ensure financial stability after the collapse of the lira. it has vowed to provide banks with "all the liquidity" they need. this is all after a worsening diplomatic row with the us prompted market turmoil in the country. shares in bayer — the german pharmaceuticals and chemicals giant — have fallen almost 10% in early trading in frankfurt. it's the first time they've been traded since an american court ruled that one of monsanto's weedkillers was linked to a man's cancer on friday and ordered a damages pay—out of nearly $300m. bayer completed its takeover of monsanto in june. monsanto denies the cancer link and says it will appeal. and — have your tickets ready.

millions of commuters could face a further rise in rail fares from january. economists are predicting that the retail prices index measure of inflation — the number used by the department for transport to set rail fare increases — will increase by 3.5%. any price change will be announced on wednesday when official inflation figures forjuly are published. turkey's economic troubles are spreading as the country tries to head off a full blown crisis. the government says it will lay out an economic action plan as markets and investors continue to loose confidence in the lira. during asian trading the lira hit a new record low of 7.24 to a us dollar, although it has since recovered some ground. today the turkish central bank has laid out details to inject about $10.5bn into the financial system by reducing the amount of us dollars, turkish lira and gold

that banks have to hold. however it remains to be seen if that will have a broader impact, so far the turkish lira has lost over 40% of it's value against the us dollar this year. a major concern is rapidly detoriarioting relations with the united states. on friday president trump doubled the import tariffs on steel to 50% and aluminum to 20%. another big concern for investors is the $242.5bn of debt that turkey's private companies hold. much of that is in us dollars and is becoming increasingly expensive for them to repay. joining us now is ranko berich, head of market analysis at monex europe. so, these measures that turkey has

announced, are they enough, will they do thejob announced, are they enough, will they do the job and work? they seem to give in the lira a bit of support, but for us, the issue for the lira is not liquidity in the banking network, it is the stability of it. we know inflation is out of control in turkey. the head of state has been repeatedly over the past former years questioning whether or not high interest rates are appropriate to bring inflation under control. the question is, will the central bank, though the liquidity measures are welcome, do what is necessary to control inflation and restore confidence in the lira. it will take a 5% rate hike, in our opinion. you might look at it and think that a weak lira is a good thing. why is it a concern for those

of us not in turkey? the central bank depends on a certain amount of stability in the lira. inflation is the real problem. the predictability of prices and for businesses to do business internationally is being hampered by out—of—control inflation and the resulting lira weakness. it isa and the resulting lira weakness. it is a question of whether the central bank manages to retain independence or not, and whether or not as a result markets have confidence in the lira is sound money. result markets have confidence in the lira is sound moneylj result markets have confidence in the lira is sound money. ijust wonder, with the possible knock—on effect on europe, how much of a concern is that? we were talking towards the end of last week about the fear of this spreading. has that been contained for the moment or is it still a threat? if you look at how the euro is performing, in the last week, there is a lot of concern about some type of contagion. at this point, it looks like it is not spreading into a systemic risk. i

say, at the moment. there are concerns, but at the moment, it doesn't look like there are systemic risks emerging in europe, though obviously it is a very volatile situation and could change. thanks very much. holiday group tui travel led the ftse 100 fallers on monday morning after its shares fell. thomas cook and eastjet are also down. asia's markets ended monday's session in negative territory as investors sold off riskier assets, including asian stocks, amid turkey's currency crisis. the pound has clawed back some losses and is now down about 0.09% against the dollar at $1.2759. that's all the business news. i'll be back with more business news

this afternoon. as the government tries to boost trade links with countries outside the eu ahead of brexit there's a big focus on technology. that's why the uk israel tech hub is now being replicated in other countries.? the hubs will focus on helping companies find new trading partners and get started in new countries as well as increasing digital skills in the workplace. ? ? india, south africa and brazil are first in line asjonathanjosephs reports. these israeli designed electric trucks could offer business brake britain a route to boosting foreign trade of the brexit. the company behind them is expanding its base just to the east of london, bringing more than 40 jobs and tens of millions of dollars of investment. it is one of more than 300 israeli tech firms with our uk presence. as an entrepreneur, where you decide to do business, it is about things like investors, especially access to good

tea m investors, especially access to good team members and engineers, and a great market to start to sell your product. i would do hope that there wouldn't be this complication called brexit, but i'm sure we will ove rco m e brexit, but i'm sure we will overcome anything thrown at us. more israeli firms are on the way. at this event in london, about 200 business leaders from both countries are hearing ideas about where the opportunities of tomorrow could lie. and getting the chance to meet each other. since the uk— israel tech conference lodge, there has been a huge growth in trade between the two countries, thanks to events like this one being run by the uk— israel business group. bringing countries together to do deals like this, people are hoping that this can be rolled out in other countries after brexit, boosting trade. in seven

yea rs, brexit, boosting trade. in seven years, the hub has brought an estimated $1 billion boost to the uk economy, recently celebrated at the opening of the london stock exchange. companies from india, brazil and south africa could find themselves in this position soon as themselves in this position soon as the uk government rolls out more tech hubs that will help setting up in the uk on issues from getting visas to finding investment. in the uk on issues from getting visas to finding investmentm allows us to rapidly connect uk businesses with fast—growing disruptive technology business is being developed around the world. this means uk businesses can either create partnerships, make acquisitions of this company —— these companies, but it also allows companies to see what the uk has to offer and see it as a place where there can expand. whilst the electric truck company has limited concern that brexit. the uk economy motoring ahead, others fear it will cause widespread disruption, particularly to foreign trade. the

uk government thinks technology will be key to the road ahead. jonathan josephs, bbc news, central london. for 50 years oil rigs in the north sea have not only extracted the black stuff but created jobs in the north east of scotland. but with the easy—to—get—at oil now extracted, companies are looking at how to make the industry viable for decades to come. kevin keane reports. in this industry, even the most menialjobs come with added risk. but these places, seen by so few of us, are the powerhouse of our carbon—driven economy, at least for now. some of these structures have been here almost since the industry was born, but 50 years on it's innovation which is driving it into the future. we have to be a lot smarter about how we are getting it out, so they are bringing in a lot more technology, such as online monitoring, digitalisation, predictive analysis. because these platforms are decades old, the easily accessible oil has been extracted. getting the left over oil means

technology is relied on. this area is the sharp end, the well head is here, these are the christmas trees and, if you look at the shape of them, you can understand why. after here, the product is separated into oil and gas before being piped to the land. it is a real team effort — being 140 miles from aberdeen, they have to be self—sufficient. there's some room for relaxation. the industry is past its peak of the late 1990s. the oil is depleting and there is a new focus on shale gas as well as renewables. but the man in charge tells me the industry still has a bright future. it is a declining basin. it is a mature basin. mother nature is a force. the resources get smaller. we are definitely very significant and important. we produce more than two

thirds of the primary energy needs of the uk. many of these platforms were never expected to still be around today. the process of removing them is now ramping up, and so this seascape will probably look very different in another 50 years. the headlines are coming up on bbc newschannel. in a moment we'll say goodbye to viewers on bbc two — first we leave you with a look at the weather we can cross the newsroom. we had some rain this morning, but the cloud has broken in places, sunny spells at the moment. 0n the radar, we can see it has been a messy start to the day, with outbreaks of rain across north—east england, in eastern areas of scotland, so for some of us, we had scenes like this for the morning commute. we still have rain across

it's monday the 13th of august. i'm joanna gosling. welcome to bbc newsroom live. new measures to tackle rough sleeping in england by 2027 are being set out by the government. they include support for mental health and addictions, and funding for housing. the number of people on the streets has been on the rise for the past seven years, with almost 5— thousand sleeping rough each night in 2017. charities have described the strategy as a step forward but still some way from a total fix. graham satchell reports. we are on the streets of east london with homelessness charity st mungo's. 0utreach workers do this every night, checking parks, streets, doorways. this man, who didn't want to be identified, told us he had drug and mental health problems. he has been sleeping rough for four months. do you feel as though you are getting any help? i don't think i'm getting any help at the moment, no. what will happen to you? what will happen? i don't know. i have been suffering. it is a bit tough and it is quite hard and it is quite scary as well. the number of people sleeping

on the street has more than doubled in a decade. today's announcement by the government promises £100 million to end rough sleeping in england by 2027. it includes £50 million for homes for people ready to move on from hostels and 30 million for targeted mental health services for rough sleepers. this is very much about practical help and assistance, how we want to prevent people getting out on the streets, intervene to give them the help that they need, and ensure that they recover so that you actually see people, once they get into housing speedily, actually maintain that. we know there are complex issues over mental health and addiction, which equally need to be supported. charities like st mungo's have welcomed today's strategy but remain concerned about the causes of homelessness, like a lack of safe, affordable housing. what we're saying is that much more needs to be done. so it is a good start, but it isjust the beginning. and to end rough sleeping by 2027 is going to take

a lot more investment. labour says government cuts to benefits, housing and other services have caused the homelessness crisis, and described today's strategy as feeble. graham satchell, bbc news. i've been speaking duncan williamson, director of policy and strategy at the homeless charity, st mungo's. since 2010, the number of people sleeping rough has gone up by 169%, so it has been a really big increase and it is across the country, it isn'tjust major cities. we are seeing it in towns and villages even. and i think the public have seen that happening and there has been a growing public concern about it. and why has it been groiwng like that? there are lots of reasons. certainly the housing market is a very difficult one. lots of people who become homeless and end up sleeping rough has come out of the renting sector. cuts to services have

had an impact as well. there are lots of different factors involved, but it is really important that now we have a really big effort to start to reverse that increase. we will talk about what the government is doing in a moment, but first, obviously, it is really important to fix a problem, to nail what has caused it and you are saying it is a complicated picture. is it possible to define in a broadbrush way the sort of people who are sleeping rough? where are they coming from? what is their background? every individual who finds themselves on the streets has their own story. so it is very difficult to generalise, but there are some factors that have big impact on people. anybody who ends up on the street is vulnerable in some way. if you think, people have ended up homeless, they literally have nobody else to turn to. often there is other factors involved. a lot of the people that st mungo's works with have got mental health issues, maybe addiction problems, that kind of thing. some of those things have come because of the stress of facing homelessness. so if you are on the streets, it is very easy to turn to drugs or alcohol to help

you sleep, for example. it is really important people get the help as quickly as possible. but all of that individual issue is in the context of a very, very difficult housing market, tightening welfare benefits entitlement, cuts to services that have had a big impact as well, so all of these things, generally speaking, make it more difficult for people, and then people's individual vulnerability leads them into that position. ok, so the government has got a strategy, £100 million, what difference will that it make? listen, this is a really important first step. we support the government's goal of bringing down rough sleeping. the prime minister has a commitment to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and end it altogether by 2027, so we are really supportive of that. we think the strategy launched today is a really important first step towards that. there is lots of really good things in this strategy and we welcome it as a first step. £100 million, is that... we have sort of got a bit cynical sometimes about announcements of funding because sometimes it is not all new money,

is this all money that wasn't on offer before? well, we need to look into the detail on that, to be honest. we think there is some new money there, there is a commitment to some new money... some new money? some new money. it is hard to know exactly how much of this has been announced previously, but there definitely is some more money there. but this is in the context of cuts to other services and generally more a tighter sort of environment for services to operate in. but it is a very welcome first step. the government needs to go further, and they admit that. in the strategy document itself, it says this is the beginning of a 10—year plan to make sure that nobody has to sleep rough. breaking news. we are hearing that a former celtic youth coach has been sentenced to three years and nine months in prison at belfast crown court after pleading guilty to eight cou nts court after pleading guilty to eight counts of sexual assault. jim mccafferty is 72 and he pleaded guilty to those charges in may. he has just been sentenced now. his

links with celtic were 20 years ago. he was living in south belfast and admitted abusing a teenager between december 2012 and december 2000 and 15. he made that admission just before the trial was due to start in may. at a sentencing hearing today, thejudge has said may. at a sentencing hearing today, the judge has said the may. at a sentencing hearing today, thejudge has said the impact on may. at a sentencing hearing today, the judge has said the impact on the victim has been significant. he has been sentenced to three years and nine months in prison at belfast crown court. we will bring you more reaction to that when we get it. ticketmaster has announced its closing its resale sites to try to combat touts. the ticketing giant is concerned that seatwave and get me in, websites which allow users to sell unwanted tickets, are being exploited by professional sellers who hike up prices. users will instead be able to sell their tickets directly through ticketmaster. earlier our entertainment

correspondent explained the difference between the websites. ticketmaster is known as a primary ticketing site. a big band goes on tour, does aid concert, ticketmaster is the place you can buy the official ticket. 0f is the place you can buy the official ticket. of course, what people find is these tickets are snapped up quickly, especially for the more popular ones, and then they have to go to secondary ticketing sites to try and get hold of tickets that are in demand. these secondary ticketing sites often charge many times the original price for it. there is a great incentive for ticket touts to snatch as many of the tickets as they can from the sellers like ticketmaster and then put them on inflated prices and make a huge profit on secondary ticketing sites. ticketmaster has come into criticism because it owns two of the secondary ticketing sites. while they say they are tough on touts, it has been in theirfinancial they say they are tough on touts, it has been in their financial interest for them to sell things first on

ticketmaster and then two of their subsidiary sites to sell them again. they have said after a lot of criticism they are shutting down seatwave and get me in, the two ticketing sites that ticketmaster owns and instead they will have a system where people can exchange u nwa nted system where people can exchange unwanted tickets for no more than the original cover price. there are other secondary ticketing sites, it won't stop it. there are. it is not going to stop the whole problem but it isa going to stop the whole problem but it is a step in the right direction. two of the big secondary ticketing sites are going. but there are still others which have had a lot of scrutineering about the practices of their practices. and there is still their practices. and there is still the opportunity of ticket touts to sell on other ticketing sites which can sell the huge amounts. this move by ticketmaster is still a big step in the right direction and possibly the writing is on the wall for this

sort of thing because of the scrutiny. they are getting ahead of the curve. delays at heathrow airport's passport control left some passengers queuing for up to two and a half hours last month. on 30 out of 31 days injuly, the borderforce missed its target of a 45—minute wait or less for 95% of visitors from outside the european economic area. 0ur correspondent caroline davies is at heathrow. tell us more about why people have been waiting so long. these figures have come from particularly disgruntled allies who think the uk border could be better controlled. let's start by breaking down those targets. heathrow aims to get people through from the european economic area, that is the eu plus other european countries within 25 minutes. if you are from a country from outside the eu, for example the states or canada, they aim to get you through in 45 minutes, and they aim to get 95% of their passengers within this time frame. 30 out of 31

daysin within this time frame. 30 out of 31 days injuly, within this time frame. 30 out of 31 days in july, they within this time frame. 30 out of 31 days injuly, they failed to meet those targets. in fact, on one particular day, the 6th ofjuly, some people were left waiting for over 2.5 hours. a lot of these airlines say this is very frustrating for passengers, it is a bad first impression when they arrive in the uk, and they want the uk government to sort it out. why is it happening? according to the home 0ffice, it happening? according to the home office, it is partly down to computer fell year and they also say a large number of cases they were dealing with with vulnerable adults and children whose cases took longer to try to process. of course, if there are flights that are running late and they all arrive at the same time, trying to go through security, that can also increase the amount of time to get through security. what are the potential solutions? heathrow is pushing to get people through from countries that they call low risk countries, that is america and canada, to use the electronic data system. if you have an electronic chip in your passport, you can use electronic gates rather

than queueing up and seeing one person at the border. but at the moment we haven't heard from the government on that. we do know that the government has said that the vast majority of people trying to go through the border do tend to get through the border do tend to get through within those standard time frames. they have also said that they put on an additional 200 staff at heathrow throughout the summer to try and help. thank you very much. let's talk more about this with tony smith, the former director of the borderforce. thank smith, the former director of the border force. thank you forjoining us. what do you think when you hear people are waiting that long? us. what do you think when you hear people are waiting that long7m us. what do you think when you hear people are waiting that long? it is not acceptable and it is very worrying. when we... i was in the orderfor, we have these problems. i was in charge during the olympics and it is a serious problem. we have seen an increasing number of people arriving in this country, an increasing number of travellers that goes up year on year, and u nfortu nately goes up year on year, and unfortunately the home office border force resources have not matched that. where we have seen a decline

in the number of people being able to clear people at the border, and an increase in passengers, we're going to find a break point. heathrow is saying that it wants more people to be allowed to use make use of the electronic gates system, do you have any concerns around that? yes, we do move more people through seagate than any other gate in the country —— electronic gates than any other country will stop but there are some concerns about the gates in terms of the fact that they are not always all open and that is because we do need officers to operate them, and secondary, then volume of people who can use them. the reason we have got two sets of standards is because we treat people arriving in the eu differently. we do not have to have

visas, they have leave to remain. we have got a scheme called a registered traveller scheme, but it is only forfrequent registered traveller scheme, but it is only for frequent travellers from other countries. there is only a small number of non—european travellers who can use the e gates. what could it look like? travellers who can use the e gates. what could it look like ?|j travellers who can use the e gates. what could it look like? i have been advocating for some time something called an electronic travel authority. i don't know if you have heard of that. if you are going on holiday to america and you are british, you will need to get.... this is a bit like online booking for your flight. you go this is a bit like online booking for yourflight. you go online before you travel, you can upload your details ahead of time and it enables to do checks before you land and when you do land it is a straightforward identity check to make sure you are the same person

who was cleared in advance. i think thatis who was cleared in advance. i think that is the way things are going globally. we need to look at that and see if there is something we can do here in the uk. we are struggling to hear your response. it sounds like an obvious and simple solution. you are somebody with a great deal of respect in this area having previously headed the board of forthcoming you think it is likely? have you had conversations at senior level to say this is something that could happen? i was involved in a policy exchange report that came out two years ago which advocated the use of more electronic processors. it is something the home office is looking at but there will be consequences in negotiations with the european union. they are bringing out other procedures in 2020 and we await news if we will go the same way in this country. thank you very much. an update on our headlines. the government promises

their closing speeches. we heard from the prosecution this morning who first of all reminded the jury about this charge of affray. they it was often used in cases of disturbances at football clubs are at nightclubs. it is violence where person of a reasonable firmness was be afraid for their personal safety. he went on to say that the video footage that the jury had been shown clearly a nd footage that the jury had been shown clearly and plainly demonstrated that ben stokes moved perhaps from a defensive posture because he was threatened with a bottle, that he moved from that and became the aggressor himself. he went on to talk about ben stokes's performance in the witness box where he said he could not recollect many aspects of the incident. it was that it is plain ben stokes was lying, seeking to justify his behaviour. plain ben stokes was lying, seeking tojustify his behaviour. he plain ben stokes was lying, seeking to justify his behaviour. he acted deplorably as the red mist came

down. we have heard from the defence for ben stokes, he said that ben stokes was defending himself and others. we have heard that ben stokes was trying to defend, in his own words, two gay men who were being homophobic lee abused. mr kth being homophobic lee abused. mr kohl, for the defence, said... for the defence,. we have heard from the judge that he expects to send the jury judge that he expects to send the jury out sometime this afternoon. the former foreign secretary is yet to respond to criticism which began a week ago when he likened women wearing the garment to letterboxes and bank robbers. he makes no

mention of it in his latest newspaper column which were found today. let's get more from our political correspondent who joins us from westminster. bring us up—to—date with the latest reaction to this. the muslim council of britain today trying to keep the pressure on boris johnson. britain today trying to keep the pressure on borisjohnson. he is facing an internal party enquiry because there were a number of official complaints made to the party about that newspaper column. that internal inquiry is under way. it isa that internal inquiry is under way. it is a process that was automatically kick—started by the complaints being received but it does have a number of stages. at the moment the complaints are being initially assessed to see they warrant further investigation for a possible breach of the... they say cannot be initially dismissed or it would show that the conservative party are not taking the issue of islam are phobic —— islam phobia

seriously. borisjohnson has not yet commented. he is back from holiday, not speaking to journalists camped out at his house over the weekend, and turning to a completely different subject in his latest telegraph column on how today. thank you very much. a killer whale has stopped carrying her dead calf after 17 days. she carried her calf for 1000 miles. they have been known to carry their dead for a week. richard is the principal you rate of mammals at the natural history museum and he joins with in the studio. thank you for joining us. it is news to me that they have a mourning period, it is extraordinary, isn't it? explain what happens. we're finding out more about killer whales as the years go

by. they are incredibly complicated in terms of their behaviour. genetically they are different across the oceans, they have different patterns of feeding, communication, the way that they transmit information from one generation to the next. we are learning things all the time about killer whales. some of the traits, behavioural traits, ten or 15 years ago would have thought to be uniquely human. there is evidence that we now have of a female carrying her calf, her dead calf, for this length of time, shows the depth of connection between mother and offspring. how would she carried and offspring. how would she carried a calf? in her mouth? probablyjust by pushing it along in the water, a range of different ways. we don't know, but previously it had been a week it has been witnessed, but in this case 17 days and 1000 miles, thatis this case 17 days and 1000 miles, that is quite a journey for this

particular whale. yes, it is remarkable. from our perspective, it is one of the things that is terribly important for researchers to do, to gather this information because it shows how incredibly connected these animals are. killer whale pods tend to be matriarchal, they are led by a dominant female or females. killer whales are one of the other species apart from humans by the females go through a menopause. they start reproducing, they invest their time in teaching they invest their time in teaching the young in the pod and they also do that so they don't compete with their daughters. there is a close connection between mother and offspring. we don't know whether or not what we are seeing is morning, but it is obviously a great bond. where does the line and in terms of... you don't know the motivation

behind what has happened but the emotions the whale is feeling, it makes you wonder how far that would extend to other kings that would happen and the sort of feelings that the whale might experience. exactly. we just the whale might experience. exactly. wejust don't the whale might experience. exactly. we just don't know and that is why it is important for is to carry out the study. one of the things about killer whales is they are very easy to identify from land, their black and white markings, the shape of the sins, they can be given a name and researchers can follow them and we can see how they interact with each other. this close bond that there appears to be between mother and offspring is demonstrated by this episode. extraordinary. very interesting to talk to you. thank you very much. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the newsroom to darren. thank you very much. we have got a limited amount of sunshine today. we are starting to see a few more showers are rising. most of

yesterday's rain is sitting in the north sea but you can see spots across northern england and down towards the south—east. this is where we will see most of the showers. some showers will be heavy and slow moving. chance of thunder in there as well. try and write it was wales and south west. kyle for northern ireland and drizzle across scotla nd northern ireland and drizzle across scotland as well. temperatures near average, 19 or 20 celsius. low 20s across england and wales. a small chance for 25 in the south—east. showers lingering through the evening before finally moving away. dreyer across central and eastern parts of scotland. on the whole, a dry end to the night. not particularly chilly out there either. temperatures around 15 celsius or so. rain on northern ireland but on the whole it should bea dry ireland but on the whole it should be a dry day with sunshine at times. this is bbc news. our latest headlines... this is bbc news.

the government promises more money to eradicate homelessness in england by 2027 and help deal with mental health problems and addictions — but labour says the plan doesn't go far enough the home office says it's working to reduce passport control queues at heathrow by deploying 200 extra border force staff. delays left some passengers queuing for up to two and a half hours last month. ticketmaster will be closing its secondary ticketing websites seatwave and get me in, which allow people to sell on unwanted tickets. the move is to try to combat touts who hike up prices turkey's central bank says its taken measures to help the lira recover and maintain financial stability, after the currency fell to a new historic low. more than 300 people have been injured — five seriously — after part of a wooden platform collapsed at a festival in northwestern spain. and finally letting go — a killer whale releases her dead calf after carrying it for 17 days — covering 1000 miles during this record breaking mourning period. the result of an appeal by a doctor

who was banned from practising following a conviction for gross negligence manslaughter is due later today. doctor hadeesa bawa—garba was convicted after the death of a six—year—old boy in 2011. with the support of some of her medical colleagues, she's been fighting the decision, arguing low staffing and pressure on the front line of the nhs was partly to blame. our health editor hugh pym reports. six—year—old jack adcock died in 2011 after developing sepsis at leicester royal infirmary. a court later heard there was a catalogue of errors with his treatment. doctor hadiza bawa—garba was convicted of gross negligence, manslaughter, later an independent medical tribunal ruled she should be suspended from practising as a doctor for one year. but the general medical council appealed, arguing this was not sufficient to protect the public. and the high court ruled that dr bawa—garba should be barred from practising.

backed by some other doctors, she mounted her own challenge to that ruling at the court of appeal, which was heard last month. she had this message forjack adcock‘s family. i would like to, first and foremost, apologise wholeheartedly once again to jack's family for my role in the events that led to his death. i am truly sorry for this and i will live with this for the rest of my life. but jack's mother, nicky, argued that dr bawa—garba should not be allowed to return to work. i hope that the decision will stand, where she will still be struck off, she will never be able to work in the uk again, because i know the people that are supporting her are basically all medical professionals and are all from the same profession. of course they are going to support her. the judgment in the appeal will be announced today. it will be closely scrutinised across the medical profession. hugh pym, bbc news.

turkey's central bank says it will take all the measures needed to maintain financial stability, after the country's currency, the lira, hit a new historic low. the turkish lira has been in virtual freefall this year and has fallen to a new record low in asian trading. the central bank has announced new measures to halt the plunge and we're expecting to hear more from the finance minister today on other measures to calm the markets. well, there are concerns that the instability could have in impact on european banks. 0ur correspondent in istanbul, selin girit, has been telling us more. the trigger of the latest crisis was a rift between washington and ankara over the release of an american pastor. he has been held injail over disputed terrorism charges for nearly two years and recently he was put under house arrest. what

washington expected from turkey is the release of him so he could go back home, but turkey has not given in and wants to use him as a bargaining tool. that is the trigger, as i said, but it's not the cause of this crisis, because this was a crisis coming, actually. there we re was a crisis coming, actually. there were signs of it even before the elections that were held in turkey recently. there is high inflation in turkey, over 15%, high recently. there is high inflation in turkey, over15%, high unemployment, and there is a huge current account deficit. the markets were expecting for a while interest rate hikes to stop and curb the inflation, but that hasn't been coming. the central bank today made announcements, talked about a few measures, but it came short of announcing interest—rate hikes, so that is what markets for opening for but it is predominantly white president of one has been rejecting for many years.

—— president erdogan. we need to see a more concrete plan. it is clear the impact that this will be having on ordinary people in turkey. what about the bigger picture and worries in europe from countries that have lent considerable amounts of money to turkey? for rod merry people, they have already started feeling the squeeze, and probably the heat will get worse. having said that, many people in turkey are aligning with the government line and saying, we don't ca re if $1 government line and saying, we don't care if $1 is 50 liras, it doesn't hurt us, but they will feel the heat. we are in front of an exchange is at the moment, and people here are predominantly tourists, coming from europe, middle east and countries, they are coming with

dollars, you wrotes, and turkish lira are cheap at the moment. they can lira are cheap at the moment. they ca n afford lira are cheap at the moment. they can afford more with what they have. we have seen people queueing to exchange their money, but we don't see it otherwise. that these people are hard. european banks are concerned if they have lires. if the lira weakens further, it will put a further burden on them. what happens in turkey will of course affect the european and asian markets. the asian markets have fallen this morning, as have the european market shares. turkey is an important country and the turkish banking sector is very interconnected to european markets. what happens here will no doubt affect international markets as well. a major survey of the uk s south asian community shows young asians are more socially conservative on issues including sex before marriage and same—sex relationships— than their peers in the rest of the population.

the report also found over half consciously downplay their asian identity when interacting with other people, in order to ‘fit in.‘ as part of the big british asian summer series here's nomia iqbal. there are more than three million asian people in the uk. this poll looks at the views of mainly indian, pakistani, bangladeshi and sri lankan heritage. it found one third have a socially conservative attitude and don't agree with sex before marriage or same—sex relationships. when it comes to the issue of integration, more than half said they had to tone down their asian identity to fit in, by changing their name, for example. i think that's a really interesting reminder about how integration happens. second generation british asians often have the educational and professional success their parents who came as migrants were hoping they would have. so they find themselves as pioneers in new places. but for priya bagga, fitting in is about balancing different identities. i feel very comfortable

with my identity. i am very proud to be asian. i like going to asian weddings and wearing asian clothes. i am comfortable with my identity. i don't really feel pressured to be westernised. i come from a modern family in general. that has a big influence on me. religion is also a big influence. the poll, which spoke to more than 2,000 asians, found 46% considered their muslim, sikh or hindu faith important, compared with the rest of the uk as a whole, where more than half a religion doesn't matter them at all. i never used to wear a scarf before and i never used to dress in a full on maxi dress. i have gone the other way. i have come to my faith and now i dress completely modestly. so it is not to adapt. it is because i have got to know my faith more and wanted to do more for my faith, to be close to god

for my own reasons. while some are confident of their place in britain, others are navigating how best to fit in. but for those who have made the uk their home, there are no regrets. my father was from pakistan, peshawar, coming to uk has been good for him, it is about coming to the uk with opportunities, education, you have the nhs, we have a lot of good things in england. we have even had good weather this year, so, yes, coming to the uk has done really well for dad and for a lot of other asians as well. more than three quarters feel that way. and according to the poll, they consider the uk a country where they can fulfil their dreams and ambitions. i've got two guests in the studio with me — sailesh ram, who runs the website asian culture vulture,

and editor of asian lifestyle magazine burnt roti, sharan dhaliwal. welcome, both of you. what do you think? the sense that many people who were questioned for the survey said they felt they had to downplay their identity in order to fit in — is that something you have come across? yeah, it is prevalent, especially in the groups i speak to, and the generation i grew up with as well. there is a lot of what is called white washing, which i don't like as a term, but it is used to describe your childhood growing up, kind of denying your culture to a certain extent. i got plastic surgery about eight years ago to change my nose, and then there were conversations afterwards about whether there was ethnic cleansing through that, because you were hiding. people get nose jobs for all sorts of reason, so was it really

for the identity? it was for mental health, for confidence, but later, discussions were had about whether it was about identity, because it was a northern indian, punjabi, hooked nose. i recognised it as something i had done, because i was adhering to eurocentric beauty standards. i don't regret it at all, but it is interesting that that is something i did and didn't consider. toa something i did and didn't consider. to a young kid now who might be feeling the same way, that because the typical that might be different, what would you say? would you say it is the right thing? you say you don't regret having a nose job.|j don't, but it is interesting. people need to consider these things, so if before i had got it done, i had sat down and consider the fact that i was removing a part of my identity, it wouldn't have changed my view on doing it and i wouldn't not have done it, but it is important to consider that than have it in your

head when you are doing it, to know what you're doing. what has your experience been of whether people are proud of their identity? they are proud of their identity? they are proud of their identity but they are proud of their identity but they are cautious about where they express it, how they express it, and the company that they are written at the company that they are written at the time, so you will find that many asians among asians are very open and don't really care too much about how they are coming across, but where they are in a minority group and they are a minority within that and they are a minority within that and a visible one, they are a lot more cautious, i think. and a visible one, they are a lot more cautious, ithink. it is and a visible one, they are a lot more cautious, i think. it is an instinct in all of us to want to fit in and conform, particularly at school, so how much do you think this is coming from external factors ? this is coming from external factors? 0r this is coming from external factors? or is itjust that social norm? they think it is a bit of both. people do feel pressurised into conforming to a certain degree

and a certain manner which will help them get along. it is partly instinctual, obviously, but also, in your case, which is a little bit very personal, that is where it gets toa very personal, that is where it gets to a critical line that is being cross. when you say, to help them get along, is that because of experiences of overt discrimination, orafearof experiences of overt discrimination, or a fear of it? fear does play a factor, and not wanting to be two different is also there. to progress in british society, there are certain things that we all look for, and people don't want to fall short of that. generally, how have you felt within british society? and feet —— have you ever felt that you haven't been integrated because of your background ? haven't been integrated because of your background? there are areas of

life where i have felt othered. there were areas where, for example, my mum would make a curry and i would complain that it would make my clothes smell. because you would go to school and the other kids would smell? yes. i think it is changing as well now. curry is the nation's number one dish. 10096. i think it is just changing a lot now and it is different. overall, the picture of integration for south asians in this country, how would you describe it? i think it is good in some areas but patchy in others. there is a danger that we, like the recent boris johnson remarks, stigmatise communities. it is something we have

to be very aware of. when you say goodin to be very aware of. when you say good in some areas and not in others, do you mean specific geographical locations? london seems very open, integrated, and a lot of people are mixing in the general sense. in other communities, there can be segregation and people are a bit more isolated. that is where we have got to, as a society, tackle some of those issues. so where there is segregation and isolation, what is segregation and isolation, what is it coming down to? i don't want to say, who is to blame? but is it people who are self isolating or others were not open?” people who are self isolating or others were not open? i think it is a mix of both. when you have a community that you can understand and get along with, you want to stick with that, but when outside of that you are not giving welcome, you're going to stay in your community. especially as an immigrant, it is difficult to reach outside when no one is asking you to

reach out. there is a lot of fear in some communities about how other people will react to them, and they don't realise that if they met and talked, they are like you and me and there is no kind of difference on a very human level. that sometimes prevents people from working in certain things or living in certain areas because they are worried about how the people in those particular areas or in that particular profession might react to them.” think there are language barriers as well. there is a lack of access to learning english for a lot of people who are coming over here. even now, a lack of access? i think there is, and the conversation isn't there. the older generation that have come along, the opportunity is not there to learn english and integrate. great to have you both on. thank you. the headlines on bbc news... the government promises more money to tackle rough sleeping in england and help deal with mental health problems and addictions. ticketmaster announces its closing its resale sites to try to combat touts who hike up prices.

delays at heathrow airport passport control left some passengers queuing for up to two and a half hours last month. passenger satisfaction with rail punctuality and reliability has fallen over the past decade, according to research by the passengers' watchdog, transport focus, and the consumer group, which? the government says it's investing in the biggest rail modernisation programme since victorian times. our business correspondent, joe lynam has the story. new timetables, thousands of cancelled services, angry commuters, strike action, and rising costs — it has not been a happy time for many rail users, and it is evident in a detailed satisfaction survey over the past decade. a study of transport focus data found that overall satisfaction with rail punctuality and reliability has fallen from 79% a decade ago to 73% today, but regular commuter satisfaction fell even further to 62% in that time. on top of that, rail fares could be

set to rise by 3.5% next year. that is because train fare increases are tied to the higher measure of inflation, known as rpi. it could add £150 to an average long—distance commuter. i understand that our passengers have had a really tough time over the last few months. i'm a regular commuter myself. but we have to work together, and with a long—term plan. that's what companies are doing, rail companies are doing. that plan is going to make journeys better over the coming years. it's going to improve the economy, it's going to better connect communities up and down the country. to compound things for some train users, another strike by rmt rail workers is set for next month, in a very long—running dispute about guards on trains. joe lynam, bbc news. in spain, more than 300 people have been injured, five of them seriously, at a music festival. a wooden platform — packed with people — collapsed into the sea in the northwestern city of vigo . lisa hampele reports.

it had been a night of fun, but the summer festival came to an abrupt end as the last performance began. the wooden platform hundreds of people were standing on gave way. the floor dropped like a lift, said one of those in the crowd. there was shock and worries that some had fallen into the sea or had been crushed. they had been here to see a rap artist who is said to have told the crowd to jump just before the floor gave way. translation: suddenly, we heard a boom, says this woman. all the floor collapsed. everyone was on the floor, crushed, and so many injured. translation: people fell all over me and it was difficult to get up. i tried to climb the people continued to fall, and my foot got stuck, but a man

helped, and finally i could leave. translation: there were a lot of people. we heard a crunch, and suddenly we all fell and we were all between the wood and the cement covering our heads. so many people we re covering our heads. so many people were trying to escape but they. translation: the mayor of vigo says all the casualties have been treated. the most seriously hurt were looked after first. most suffered only minor injuries, though a few are in hospital with head injuries and broken bones. the emergency workers used thermal imaging, and divers went into the sea to check no one had been trapped. an investigation has now begun. 160,000 people visited the weekend festival, a celebration of music and urban sport. there are shock and relief that no one has died. there's been a rally by white supremacists and far—right

supporters in washington dc. but only a handful of people turned up — they were outnumbered by the police and by counter—demonstrators. chris buckler has more. crowd: whose streets? 0ur street! in washington's streets there was anger and frustration, as thousands gathered to demonstrate against a protest by white nationalists right in the centre of the capital, and within sight of the white house. exactly a year before, the same right—wing group had held a controversial protest in charlottesville, in virginia. a woman was killed when a car was driven into a crowd of cou nter— protesters. holding this event on the anniversary of heather heyer‘s death was seen by many as deliberately provocative. very emotional day. there was a couple of signs that said, "for heather," and we had a moment of silence for heather, because that woman did lose her life. that never should have happened. many here were critical

of president trump, who after charlottesville claimed there was blame on both sides. but there was no equivalence in the scale of these protests. while antifascist campaigners filled the streets, only around 20 white nationalists turned up in washington. they had applied for a permit for 20 times that number. who is the intolerant one? is it us, who are here expressing our first amendment rights, or these folks who showed up by the thousands to stop us from being able to speak, and they are completely indoctrinated? there were brief clashes between processors and police... let's go, let's go! ..particularly as they tried to escort the small group of white nationalists out from gates near the white house. the police had worked exceptionally hard to keep his two sides apart. but the reality is, this has been a huge security operation in the heart of washington, dc, for what has been an incredibly small protest by white nationalists. but, on both sides, the real purpose seemed to be a desire

to have their voices heard by the white house. for 50 years oil rigs in the north sea have not only extracted the black stuff but created jobs in the north east of scotland. with the easy—to—get—at oil extracted, companies are now looking to make the industry viable for decades to come. kevin keane reports. in this industry, even the most menialjobs come with added risk. but these places, seen by so few of us, are the powerhouse of our carbon—driven economy, at least for now. some of these structures have been here almost since the industry was born, but 50 years on it's innovation which is driving it into the future. we have to be a lot smarter about how we are getting it out, so they are bringing in a lot more technology, such as online monitoring, digitalisation,

predictive analysis. because these platforms are decades old, the easily accessible oil has been extracted. getting the left over oil means technology is relied on. this area is the sharp end, the well head is here, these are the christmas trees and, if you look at the shape of them, you can understand why. after here, the product is separated into oil and gas before being piped to the land. it is a real team effort — being 140 miles from aberdeen, they have to be self—sufficient. there's some room for relaxation. the industry is past its peak of the late 1990s. the oil is depleting and there is a new focus on shale gas as well as renewables. but the man in charge tells me the industry still has a bright future. it is a declining basin. it is a mature basin.

mother nature is a force. the resources get smaller. we are definitely very significant and important. we produce more than two thirds of the primary energy needs of the uk. many of these platforms were never expected to still be around today. the process of removing them is now ramping up, and so this seascape will probably look very different in another 50 years. some extraordinary images to show you of a thunderstorm last night in vegas. the best show in town was this free one. it may look amazing, but this thunderstorm caused chaos, moving into the east with wind speeds as high as 70 mph, and it has left tens of thousands of homes across and of other without power. the national weather service warned of flash floods and dust storms. time for the one o'clock news in a

few moments, but first, a look at the weather with darren. there will be brisk atlantic winds coming our way over the week ahead. most of the rain showers will be in the north—west of the uk, generally speaking it will be drier and warmer for a while towards the south—east. not a great deal of sunshine around today. temperatures are average, 19-20 in today. temperatures are average, 19—20 in central scotland and northern ireland, the low 20s in england and wales. it will be drier across wales and the south west, but further east across england, particularly across east anglia, across yorkshire, some heavy and thundery showers developing. generally drive for northern ireland, but this low cloud and damp, drizzly weather will be left into the afternoon and early evening across scotland. 0vernight, it dries

off in scotland. there was heavy showers in eastern england will tend to decay. a lot of cloud on the whole, especially in the north—west, and temperatures probably holding into double figures widely across the uk. a fairly warm night, 12-15dc. on the uk. a fairly warm night, 12—15dc. on tuesday and wednesday, we have this weather front, which we can trace all the way back into the mid—atlantic, will bring in showers. for many parts of england and wales on shoes day, it will be dry with more in the way of sunshine, although cloud amounts will fill in during the day. rain will to scotla nd during the day. rain will to scotland and northern ireland. most of the rain will be in western scotland, not much in the east, where it will feel warmer. 25 celsius is the highest temperature, in the south—east of england. the winds will be fresher on wednesday on western coast. we will find more widespread and heavy rain coming into scotland and northern ireland,

but also the north—west of england are not far away from north wales. higher pressure towards the south—east, where we will find the best sunshine, and a bit more warmth, 25—26dc. that rain is coming in and will push down towards the south—east by thursday as the jet buckles its way southwards. we draw down cooler and fresher air, with rain being placed by sunshine and showers. a new government drive to eradicate homelessness in england within the decade. ministers want to make rough sleeping a thing of the past but numbers have been going up for the last seven years. when you are starving and hungry, you ain't got no money, there is nowhere to go and get some food or anything, to have shower or change clothes. we'll be asking how realistic the government's aims are. also this lunchtime: tackling the touts. ticketmaster is closing two websites which allow people to offload unwanted tickets. ticketmaster is one of the biggest

players in the market. stopping profiteering is very good news for the consumer, but there are others that need to move in that direction. a currency crisis in turkey, after the lira collapses amid concerns that european banks could be affected. after a year of rail misery, train travel is now one of the uk's
