there have been been fights between british and french fishermen in the english channel, in a row about shellfish. there were skirmishes overnight off the normandy coast where uk boats are allowed to fish. before we knew it, we had around ten, maybe 15, other french boats surrounding us, throwing rocks at us, flares. we'll have the latest live from brixham where many of the uk boats are based. also on the programme: theresa may arrives in nigeria, as part of her trade mission to boost ties with african countries after brexit. more than a fifth of 14—year—old girls say they've self—harmed, according to new analysis. a children's charity says worries about physical appearance are contributing to unhappiness. hopes that the facade of one of belfast‘s most historic buildings could be saved after the huge fire which destroyed the interior of the banks building. and, will it be glasgow or edinburgh?

the scottish fa meets to decide where the national team should play after 2020. and coming up in sport later in the hour on bbc news: england have submitted their bid to host the women's euros in 2021. eight venues have been proposed with wembley hosting the final. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. fights have broken out between french and british fishermen in the english channel in a row about shellfish. french crews have been accused of throwing stones and flares, after complaining that the british are depleting stocks of scallops. british boats are legally entitled to fish in the area. 0ur correspondent sarah ransome is in brixham in devon, which is home to some

of the boats involved. yes, and some of those boats came backin yes, and some of those boats came back in late last night. two of them, one of which is the blue boat over there, they came back in after they got caught up in what they describe as a ferocious and frankly quite frightening clash out in the channel. this is what it is all about, the scallops they were fishing for our very lucrative. the french are not allowed to fish there and they decided that themselves. they are not allowed to fish there until october, but the british bows are allowed to go there and fish legally. it is not the first time there have been clashes in the channel, but in recent years this is the first time tensions have ramped up. tensions have ramped up. smoking flares and stones. this video from french television shows british boats being rammed in a bad—tempered opening salvo

in yet another clash between french fishermen and british boats off the coast of normandy in a row over scallops. insults accompanied the hull ramming while 35 french boats or so chased a handful of british vessels out of the scallop—rich fishing ground, claiming they were looting the lucrative stocks. translation: they have no powers, no quotas, they just translation: they have no powers, no quotas, theyjust fill their boats, they come, scraped and lead. they start working a month before us and they leave us the crumbs. scallop fishing off the normandy coast has long been a sensitive issue. french boats are banned from fishing in those waters by their own government from between may and october, but that doesn't apply to british boats. and as some of those caught up in the crash returned to harbour last night, no one was injured, but those who had been on board say they have had to dodge missiles like cans of oil and old bits of anchor thrown onto their decks.

they were both angry and upset at what had happened. before we knew it we had around ten, maybe 15, other french boats surrounding us, throwing rocks at us, flares. they were lighting the sky up with flares so that other boats could see us. it was quite an intense moment. two years ago it happened to us, not as forceful as this time i would not have said. but the same thing. the french navy were there on site and never did a thing. we reported it to the mmo and nothing happened. it just we reported it to the mmo and nothing happened. itjust went on deaf ears. it just went on deaf ears. for a few years a temporary deal on fishing for scallops in those waters has kept a lid on any anger. but talks broke down last summer and french fishermen‘s frustration has boiled over. those negotiating a deal from this side of the channel say it's time for everyone to get back round the table and talk.

i need to know precisely what the french now are offering us by way of a settlement in order to get british boats back into those waters or somewhere else, depending on what the dealers. but i need clarification before i actually go to france to talk to them and we come to an arrangement for 2018. in the meantime, the boats are in harbour and repairs are under way. as are discussions on how to calm those suddenly choppy waters in the channel. as you heard, discussions are under way and i have been hearing there has been contact between the french fishing industry and those involved in the negotiations here in the last couple of hours, on the british side of the channel. quite what those discussions will institute is yet to be understood. i understand british

cou nterpa rts be understood. i understand british counterparts are very keen and happy to get on a plane or a boat and get over there and carry out those talks. quite what those talks will entail is yet to be found out, but they are hoping for a swift resolution. they are hoping for a swift resolution. theresa may has arrived in nigeria on the second day of her trade mission to try to boost ties with african countries after brexit. mrs may is also discussing security and people trafficking with president muhammadu buhari, before meeting victims of modern slavery. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright, is travelling with the prime minister and is in abuja now. how much is theresa may confident of achieving on this part of the visit? she arrived here about an hour ago with her business delegation in tow because this is a three—day visit to sub saharan africa i met entirely focused on building trade links between the uk and these very

fast—growing economies, such as nigeria. she was met by a troupe of traditional nigerian dancers and resisted the temptation to join in this time. she is not the only european leader coming to nigeria. there is a lot of competition. president macron was here last month, he has been twice. angela merkel arrives tomorrow. many people wa nt merkel arrives tomorrow. many people want a chunk of the business opportunities that these countries provide and that is what theresa may will be hoping to achieve here and later this afternoon in lagos. she is stressing in particular the links she wants to see developed between the city of london and nigeria and once the african countries to list themselves on the london stock exchange. it is not only trade. she will also be raising the question of modern slavery. a lot of people are trafficked from nigeria to europe and the uk, and trying to disrupt

that trafficking link is something she will be talking about. she will be offering further assistance to the nigerian government and army in their battle against the islamist group boko haram, which has killed thousands of people in recent years. there is a lot on the agenda, she is only here for a day and then she is moving on to kenya. ben wright travelling with the prime minister. ben wright travelling with the prime minister. the government is being urged to address what's being called a "crisis in children's mental health" after new analysis suggested that more than a fifth of 14—year—old girls say they've self—harmed. the children's society says gender stereotypes and concerns about physical appearance are contributing to unhappiness. the government says it is investing £300 million to provide more mental health help in schools. ricky boletto reports. all right, bethany, so this is your microphone. bethany started self harming when she was 13. it's something she's happy to talk about today. she wants to open up to other young people. i don't think there was

really a reason why, but the bullying made me feel really, really depressed. so i think that was kind of a response for me because it was something that i could control. starting secondary school was difficult. bethany said she felt isolated. she kept what she was doing a secret from her mum. i got a phone call from her teacher, actually, when i was on the bus on the way home from work. and he said he needed to have a chat with me and he just told me that he'd found out that day that beth was self harming. so that was a bit of a shock. five years on, she stopped harming herself with the support of the harmless charity. i think there are a lot of reasons why. i think the pressures of school itself, you know, with having gcses and all of the work that we have, you know, it can be quite stressful. i think definitely social media because we see a lot of things where it's like you should look like this and you should wear that and you should have this make—up.

i think there's a lot of stigma associated with how girls should carry themselves as well. the children's society surveyed more than 11,000 children about their lives. they say a closer look at the data suggests one in four girls aged 1a had self harmed last year. across genders, one in six reported self harming at the same age. and from that, the charity estimates that 110,000 14—year—olds all over the uk may have self harmed in the last 12 months. what we found is that since 2009 children have been becoming more unhappy with their lives as a whole overall. and particularly that has been driven by girls feeling more and more unhappy with their appearance. well, the government say they're spending £1.11 billion on transforming young people's mental health by 2020, with an additional 300 million to provide more help in schools. so how long have you been drawing for? years.

i used to do it when i was little. bethany is now focusing on the future. of course, the scars won't disappear, but her recovery is ongoing. i feel really confident now, i'm happy, ifeel like i've got myself back. ricky boleto, bbc news. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson is here. just one story, but how much do we really know about what is happening here, the wider picture? looe the children's society has published another report which suggests there are big challenges at schools. it surveyed 10—17 —year—olds and nearly a quarter, 24%, of children said they heard jokes about other children's they heard jokes about other child ren‘s appearance they heard jokes about other children's appearance all they heard jokes about other child ren‘s appearance all the they heard jokes about other children's appearance all the time. almost the same proportion of secondary school students heard ongoing jokes about sexual activity

of other students. and girls in particular said those kind of comments made them feel terrible about their appearance. the crucial question, especially when we look at the figures, what can be done? what is being looked at? the children's society says it wants a requirement that all schools can offer counselling to children who feel they need it and they want school inspectors, 0fsted, to look at it and assesses each year and make sure schools are tackling the issue. the government says it is putting an extra £300 million into helping schools with their mental health services and that will make progress. but in today's report it suggests happiness among family relationships and friends is the absolute best protection for children. sophie hutchinson, thank you. and if you have been affected by any of the issues raised in that report, you can find details of organisations which offer advice and support on the bbc actionline website — at bbc.co.uk/actionline.

the british—iranian charity worker, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, has been admitted to a prison clinic in iran, after having panic attacks. she returned to jail in tehran on sunday following a three—day release. ms zaghari—ratcliffe was jailed for five years in 2016 after being convicted of spying, which she denies. a large cordon remains in place in belfast this lunchtime, as firefighters continue to deal with the impact of a fire which has caused enormous damage to one of the city's most historic buildings. there is hope that the facade of the banks building which dates from 1785, and today houses a primark store could be saved, but the interior has been destroyed. 0ur ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. an important part of the city's

heritage up in flames. firefighters battled for hours yesterday to get the blaze under control. staff and shoppers were evacuated. let's go! as the building began to give way. people watched in horror as the victorian landmark was destroyed. firefighters worked through the night. now bank buildings is a blackened shell. you can still smell the smoke in the air here today and firefighters have said that parts of the building are still collapsing. so for the safety of pedestrians this 45 metre cordon remains in place. that means many of the shops and businesses in the heart of belfast will have to remain closed. for city centre traders it's unclear how long this will last. for us august is the second busiest month in the trading calendar. so for us we need to get open as quickly as we can. an emergency meeting was held in belfast this morning for recovery plans to be put in place.

initial inspections of the building by structural engineers have determined the exterior is intact but the site remains unsafe for pedestrians and shops nearby. i totally understand that they cant let us near the building until they know it is secure and that is my main worry at the minute, that it might collapse. and if it does it willjust come straight into my shop, it will just wipe it out. the cause of this fire is still unknown. primark staff have said they are devastated by what has happened to the store which had only just had a £30 million refurbishment. there is quite a bit of work in terms of the steelwork the building, it suffered extreme heat. it has been under pressure. i'm pleased that the building is still standing and hopeful that the structural engineers will make a call to say that it can be saved. it would be a huge loss for belfast if that wasn't the case. bank buildings has been a focal point of the city centre since the late 18th century. until the full damage is known, it is unclear how much of this belfast landmark may ever be restored to its former glory.

emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. it's emerged that some company pension schemes have been contacted by the regulator asking them to take extra care with staff members wanting to remove their funds. there has been a sharp rise in people cashing in valuable final salary retirement pots, and managing the money themselves. the pension regulator warns that overly generous payouts could damage the schemes' remaining funds. british gas has paid more than £2.5 million in refunds and compensation after overcharging thousands of customers who switched to new providers. 0fgem says more than 94,000 people were affected. the energy supplier has blamed a systems error. our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz is here. what was the impact on people affected ? what was the impact on people affected? when you are on a fixed

rate tariff for gas and electricity, typically one or two years, and you come to the end of that period and start to look around and find another good dealfor start to look around and find another good deal for your energy supply so you do not lose out. rules are there is a 49 date —based period at the end of your deal in which you can switch but you are not penalised by exit fees or higher tariffs for what you're paying for and that is what you're paying for and that is what british gas got wrong. they broke the rules so those 94,000 people were those who had their ta riffs people were those who had their tariffs raised during that grace period and there was another brutal people charged an exit charge for leaving when they should not have been charged that for the what is happening is british gas is paying those people that back, it has already paid most of them back and given them a goodwill gesture payment on top of that product by my calculations the sums involved are not enormous, for a typical customer it would be between £10 and £50

each. but there is a big principle here and that is why the authorities have been so tough about it. but if companies are seen to interfere with our rights to switch providers and ta ke our rights to switch providers and take advantage of lower tariffs and households can save upwards of £300 a year by switching to cheaper deal, if companies are seen to discourage that they will be hauled over the coals and that is what happened to british gas and why they had to apologise diffusely. our top story this lunchtime: there have been been fights between british and french fishermen in the english channel, in a row about shellfish. and coming up — the devastating impact of hurricane maria. officials in puerto rico now say nearly 3,000 people died following last year's storm. coming up in the sport in the next 15 minutes on bbc news: a big decision for scottish football. should hampden in glasgow still be

the national stadium or will murrayfield get the nod? a year after violence in myanmar prompted hundreds of thousands of rohingya muslims to flee the country, the un secretary general has said those responsible must be held to account. the security council met overnight to discuss a report published on monday which called for myanmar‘s military leaders to face charges including genocide. the actor and un goodwill ambassador cate blanchett recently visited bangladesh where thousands of rohingya muslims have been forced to flee. she's been speaking to our correspondent nada tawfik. well, i think that, you know, part of the security counci's remit is to highlight and to continually and unfailingly not give up, you know. i'm just coming from speaking

to the secretary general and you know when a situation is impossible, you have to push harder, you know. and despair is something that we cannot give in to. and when you see the resilience of the refugees themselves and when you sit in a school with children who have lost parents, you know, children who have seen their grandparents pushed back into burning buildings and set on fire. you know, i sat with one particular girl who was 14 who had her three—year—old brother dismembered and thrown into a fire in front of her. and when you see them, you know, moving forward positively, trying to go to school, it galvanises me and makes me want to not forget those individual faces in the magnitude of the numbers that we hear. and i think it's beholden upon the international immunity to shine a spotlight on it. it may seem impossible, but it's not an excuse for not doing anything. have you been disappointed that aung san suu kyi as the de facto leader and with her moral authority

as a nobel peace prize laureate, hasn't done more to prevent the violence? i think it's imperative that the government of myanmar now sets about concrete path towards giving the rohingya citizenship. you know, every human being... we're sitting here, we have a nationality, you know, we are able to vote. we have the right to an education and basic health care. and these people have none of those rights. and so i think it's absolutely vital that the government of myanmar now, a year on from the crisis, starts to make positive, concrete steps towards making sure that things happen. it's, you know, of paramount importance. and after visiting the camps, being here to speak to international leaders, i wonder how you reflected at all on the fact that there had been warning signs for decades,

incitement of violence against the rohingya for decades? and yet international leaders did not prevent this from happening. i think when we are dealing with stateless people, the problem can often be invisible. and you can feel, particularly in the west, that there is cultural barriers. but when you sit with a mother, newly arrived, who has not even unpacked her bags because she was worried that the latrine she has built, you know, right above her, is going to collapse when the rains come. you realise that there are human beings inside this crisis and i think it's really important that even though we talk about the numbers, that we don't lose sight of the human beings. so i suppose part of my role as a goodwill ambassador is to re—score that human face. it's now known that nearly 3,000 people died as a result of hurricane maria in puerto rico last year. until now, the official death toll was just 64, but the island's governor says he accepts the new figure, which is

the result of a long—awaited independent investigation. david willis sent us this report. hurricane maria was the most powerful storm to hit the caribbean island in almost a century. a monster of a weather system, which made landfall with winds of 250km/h, leaving millions of dollars of damage in its wake. comparing the storm to katrina in 2005, president trump initially marvelled at what appeared to be a relatively low loss of life. but now it seems that the death toll from maria might dwarf that of the hurricane that devastated new orleans. a study undertaken by researchers here puts the number of people who died either directly from the storm's wrath or from its aftermath at nearly 3,000. we are officially changing... we are actually putting an official

number to the death toll, and we will take the 2,975 number as the official estimate. hurricane maria took what little this impoverished island had and reduced it to rubble. power supplies were knocked out, power lines were cut, roads became impassable. worst affected were the poor and the elderly. the governor concedes puerto rico wasn't prepared for a storm like maria, but hopes it can learn from the experience. translation: it's a time to show solidarity with all those who have lost family and friends. it's also a time to reflect on what we did well and what we did badly so that we can have a better response in future. making such improvements won't be easy. parts of the island are still without power nearly a year after the hurricane,

and some 60,000 homes are still said to be a lacking proper roof. the trump administration has said it will continue to support the island's government, but puerto rico was bankrupt long before maria pitched up on its shores and its best hope may be to pray that such a disaster never happens again. the board of the scottish football association is meeting to decide where the national team will play, when the lease on the national stadium in glasgow expires in 2020. bids have been submitted by the league two club queen's park, which owns hampden, and by scottish rugby, which want to take the matches to murrayfield in edinburgh. our sports correspondent chris mclaughlin is at hampden park. what other factors that will go into this decision? a number of factors

but what is up for discussion quite simply is the very future of this place behind me at hampden park has been the home of scottish football for well over a century. that lease is up in 2020 and the scottish fa and league as it stands it isjust too expensive to stay here, it needs major refurbishment and for that reason for some months they have looked at other options and little bows down to two options. stipe —— to stay here and, with some business plan to take the place forward or move 50 miles east to the home of scottish rugby, murrayfield, and play their games there. in terms of how the decision will be made this is football and all about money. whoever can put forward the best financial case probably will win the day. it is a massive problem for the men and women of the scottish fa board who are deep in conversation here behind me are cars in two yea rs' here behind me are cars in two years' time if merrifield gets the

nod and scottish football has a new home but it is not too much of a stretch to imagine that here in two yea rs' stretch to imagine that here in two years' time we could see bulldozers here behind me. an advert for an app that provides a natural alternative to contraception has been banned by the advertising standards authority. claims that the app, natural cycles, was ‘highly accurate' and provided ‘a clinically tested alternative to other birth control methods' were found to be misleading. the swedish company that developed it says it respects the outcome of the investigation. jean mackenzie, from the victoria derbyshire programme, has been to meet one woman who got pregnant while using the app. how many months now? 34 weeks. so you know, about five to go. rebecca wasn't planning on having her first child for a few years. i was looking for a sort of alternative to hormonal contraception at the time.

i suffer from depression and anxiety and hormone related contraceptions just seemed to really escalate that. she came across the contraceptive app natural cycles which tracks women's fertility over the month and tells them when they can and can't get pregnant. she said she started using it after seeing an advert on instagram claiming it was 99% effective. was it based on that 99% that you decided to use it? yes. i was sort of sucked into this 99% effective. you know, even more effective than the pill. rebecca says she'd been following the instructions perfectly for three months when she found out she was pregnant. i think this might have to be the going home outfit. hi, world! just talk to me about the impact that this has had on you over the last eight months. it has been quite

high stress levels. because we are selling the flat at the moment and then trying to buy somewhere new. and going to have to move back in with mum temporarily. yeah. just, you know, everything all at once. what, because you weren't ready for it? yes, exactly. you know, i'm only 26. there's been a lot of things that i would have done differently. the advertising watchdog has ruled that the app cannot be marketed as highly or 99% effective. because the evidence from users shows there is in fact a 7% chance of getting pregnant. if you had been sold it as seven out of 100 women over a year will get pregnant using this, would you have used it? no. a year or so ago when i saw it on instagram i was led to believe it was 99% effective. i think that is definitely misleading.

the company says it has removed the advert in question and its current adverts provide women with the necessary information. jean mackenzie, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. how is it looking? things are getting better but it has been up for morning across east anglia and the south—east of england. the rain has cleared away now from hastings and we may see more of this, a bit of sunshine to come. that was the rain we had earlier today and temperatures still only around 15
