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 degrees now. some showers coming in towards the

south—east. and some showers in the north west of the uk put up later this afternoon those are at the temperatures and much drier weather gci’oss temperatures and much drier weather across east anglia and the south east. then the cloud breaking up more and more with some showers coming in on that westerly breeze into the north—west of scotland. so most of us end the day fine with some sunshine. overnight we keep some sunshine. overnight we keep some showers in the north west of scotla nd some showers in the north west of scotland but otherwise becoming dry and also clearing up. turning quite chilly overnight and quite quickly as well. in towns and cities around seven, 9 degrees but if you're in the countryside we could see temperatures down to three or four celsius. but a bright start tomorrow with 20 of sunshine. through the day we end up with some sunny spells and most we end up with some sunny spells and m ost pla ces

we end up with some sunny spells and most places dry put up some showers maybe into northern ireland and parts of scotland. but if you catch one of those it will be light and these are the temperatures, similar to today. a little bit low par for the time of year. essentially we have high pressure trying to dominate the weather, weather systems coming in from the atlantic and they will start to move into the high—pressure towards the weekend moving towards the rain. on friday just grazing the far south—west of england. cloud increasing in northern ireland and possibly into western scotland. unlike wind still in the east and temperatures possibly up to 21 degrees across eastern areas of scotland. the area living in from the atlantic over the weekend, it looks like the

south—east of england and possibly into the midlands stayed dry and with more sunshine here feeling quite warm. we will be into september but temperatures getting up september but temperatures getting up to 25,26 september but temperatures getting up to 25, 26 degrees september but temperatures getting up to 25,26 degrees in the south—east. much more like it. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime; fishing leaders agree to talks after fights between british and french fishermen in the english channel, in a row about shellfish. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello, you are watching bbc news. i am arlene foster. england have submitted their bid to host the womens euros in 2021.

eight venues have been proposed with wembley hosting the final. wembley would stage the final with 7 other venues put forward austria and hungary are also expected to bid with uefa choosing the hosts in december. i think it is enormous to have a major championship like this on home soil, across the city, across all over england. i think in terms of fans and inspiring a generation of young people to play the game, fantastic. by 2021, we will have built a whole infrastructure of opportunity for youngsters to play. so they will be excited and they will be able to go and find somewhere to play. after over 100 years of international football and cup finals at hampden park in glasgow the scottish football association are weighing up a move to the home of scottish rugby murrayfield in edinburgh. hampden‘s owners are queens park, the amateur club who also play there, and the sfa's lease is up in 2020. there is an option to buy hampden but the stadium is in need of renovation.

the other option bing discussed at today's board meeting is relocating to murrayfield, a decision is expected later. the welsh forward hal robson kanu has retired from international football. the west brom player he made the announcement after he was left out of the latest wales squad to play the republic of ireland and denmark. the most famous of his five goals for wales came in their 3—1 win against over belgium in the quarterfinals of euro 2016. he won 44 caps in all wales manager ryan giggs has called him an icon in welsh football because of that goal and wished him all the best the heat and humidity of new york has made the headlines on the first two days of action at the us open. andy murray and cameron norrie — the last two britons remaining in the draw — will battle the elements in their second round matches later today. looking ahead is our correspondent russell fuller.

how to best re—integrate female athletes into training after they've had children. at london 2012 she became olympic heptathlon champion, gave birth to a son two years later, and then returned to win silver at the rio games in 2016 before retiring. sport is still learning about it. it is very much a learning process. in recent yea rs, is very much a learning process. in recent years, in terms of selena and laura kenney and other athletes are deciding, they do not have to finish the kabir, have theirfamily deciding, they do not have to finish the kabir, have their family and you can step back into sport. —— kerry. the more that women can do that and share their experiences, the better because that can help other women achieve it as well. and you can hear much more from dame jessica ennis—hill in our sportsday programme this evening from 6:30.

and just time to tell you that the england team for the 11th test against india has just been announced. moeen alli and sam curran are in, replacing chris woakes and ollie pope. joss butler is going to stay. we'll have more on that throughout the afternoon. that's all the sport for now. good afternoon. let's take a look at a few stories also in the news this lunchtime. in herfirst british interview, the american mother of a nine—year—old boy who says her son took his own life after enduring homophobic bullying at school, has told the bbc that she never wants any other child or parent to go through what her family is experiencing. before he returned to school after the summer holidays, jamel myles from colorado had told his mother he was proud to be gay, and wanted to tell his classmates. jamel‘s mother, leia rochelle pierce said the nine—year—old took his own life just days later. she's been speaking to

the victoria derbyshire programme. you might find some of what you're about to hear, upsetting. he was magic. this little boy could walk into any room and make any person feel so loved and so special. he had this pizazz about him. he wasjust magic. if you feel bad, he would do anything to take your pain away just to make you happy. and is the toy that you are holding, is that significant? it is my son's bee. he cut off the ears so it would be different like him. he just said he was proud of who he was and he didn't mind telling people, and i am pretty sure he told someone who had that whole persona of "that is not ok." and decided to pick on him. i have sat here and seen kids pick on kids for less. so i am pretty sure hejust told one

person and it spread and it became a worse situation. i don't want no one else to feel the pain. tomorrow is the last day i get to see my son. and it is not fair. i feel so bad for any other parent who experiences this and i never ever want anyone to ever experienced this. i never want a child to feel alone. i never want a parent to feel broken. i want everyone to feel loved. my son said he wanted to make a change in this world and he wanted to show people love. and he can't speak right now, but i am speaking words he spoke for everyone to hear because everyone needs to hear it. because a gentle kind soul just left this world because of something so cruel. and i want my son to know he made a change for the better because of his genuine person. thank you very much for giving

us your time today. we are really, really sorry for your loss. i am sorry too. this world doesn't get to see what a true, true treasure he is and what he could have been. he was greatness in the making. a statement on behalf of the school said, "we are deeply committed to ensuring that all members of our school community are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or transgender status. we also know, however, that we as a society have a long way to go to ensure that no child ever is bullied or treated with disrespect because of their self—identification." that is a statement from the

nine—year—old's school in colorado. a united nations report about the violence in nicaragua says the government is responsible for serious human rights violations. it says more than 300 people have been killed, and 2000 injured, since anti—government protests against the rule of president daniel ortega began in april. the report says police in the central american nation have carried out extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention and torture. david campanale has this report. nicaragua's descent into chaos was triggered in mid april when relatively small protests against now abandoned social security reforms were met with a government crackdown. very quickly, street demonstrations, led by students and other young people, turned into a popular uprising against the country's president daniel ortega and his government. the response of the police and paramilitaries supporting the leftist government

has been brutal. hundreds of people have been killed, and many more wounded. the un report details the excessive violence of the police with what it says are instances of unlawful killings and the disappearances of protesters. it warns that... and says... but still, the protests continue. this one, just last weekend, saw thousands of people returning to the streets. translation: we see that these people have risen up with courage and impeccable dignity in the face of hundreds of riot police and paramilitaries ready to attack them, but they still proudly raise their blue and white flag. that is something the government will never be able to take away. but the president isn't without support.

he denies involvement in the crackdown on protesters and says he is seeking peace. his backers accuse the opposition of seeking to destroy nicaragua in order to get into power. translation: ortega has proven himself. before we had a new liberal government where education was privatised, health was privatised, and in 2007, that was given back to the people. health was restored, houses for the public, and there is no going back. that is what the coup—mongers want. the un report urges next month's meeting of the un human rights council to set up an international inquiry. without what it calls urgent action, it warns that nicaragua will descend into further turmoil. david campanale, bbc news. the campaigner and business woman, gina miller, has told the bbc she has ruled out a career in front line politics. during an interview earlier

for newsroom live, she said rumours that she's being lined up to be the next liberal democrat leader are false. her legal challenge following the eu referendum forced the government to seek parliament's approval before starting the brexit process — inspiring both admiration and hate. she has now written a book about her experiences — and a little earlier she spoke tojoanna gosling about the current state of brexit negotiations as well as that rumour about her political ambitions. i think it is an impossible task to get a deal from where we are now in that ten weeks‘ time. and i think the politicians have to start, on either side... i think the divisions of particular parties or leave or remain, i think all of that has to be put aside, and politicians across the spectrum have to now be completely honest and straightforward and plain speaking to the people of great britain and say, "we do not have time in the ten weeks to resolve this, we need to come up with a plan of what we do with that." and they aren't coming

up with anything. second referendum 7 a second referendum, a general election, i don't know what will happen on the political landscape because, you know, we are on one side of the table, there are others at the other side. but i do think it should be given back to the people because we are two years and we do have different information now. there has been some talk about you potentially taking over from vince cable as leader of the liberal democrats, have you had any discussions about that? it is very flattering, but no. i don't know where that rumour is coming from, but i have said it before and i will say it today, i have no intentions of going into official politics. why not? it would be too constraining for the voice i have, i believe. i think i can be more useful being independent as a campaigner and keeping a watching brief. that is where i feel most comfortable, being independent. what do you think of theresa may and how she has handled it? i think it is impossible to say.

i mean, she was put in an impossible position. there are so many things i wish had been done differently. i wish there had been a cross—party committee that was negotiating brexit because this actually affects every single person in every single region and every single political persuasion. brexit will affect everyone. but that hasn't happened. and ijust would like mrs may and her government and actually all political leaders, to start coming clean with the british public. jean miller talking to us earlier this morning. —— gina miller. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news: french and british fishermen clash in the channel over scallop fishing rights. theresa may arrives in nigeria on the second day of a trade mission to africa aimed at strengthening economic ties ahead of brexit. ministers are urged to address a "crisis in children's mental health" after a survey finds that a fifth of girls aged 1a said

they had self harmed. this is the business news this afternoon. british gas has paid £2.65 million in refunds and compensation after wrongly overcharging more than 94,000 customers who switched to new providers. an ofgem investigation found the energy firm failed and unfairly penalised customers who were coming to the end of their fixed—term contracts. british gas said those affected have been refunded and paid an additional goodwill gesture. uk shop prices have risen for the first time in five years, according to the latest data from the british retail consortium. it's also warned that more price rises are to come, if the uk quits the european union without a trade deal. a stark warning from the pensions regulator that generous lump sum pay—outs could be putting pensions at risk. earlier this year it contacted

1a schemes encouraging them to consider making reductions, as a record £21 billion flowed out of defined schemes in the year to march. hello, good afternoon. welcome to the business news. we're going to be talking now about mobile phone tariffs. research commissioned by 02 suggests that half of brits feel ripped off by the fixed payments they pay on their phone contracts, with many confused about what they actually paying are for. joining us now is mark evans chief executive officer of telefonica uk. so mark, this research says half of customers say they feel ripped off, do you rip of your customers? i believe we are not. we present ourselves differently to the rest of the injury. —— industry. once the

device is paid for, we automatically reduce the charge to the customer. we think that is treating them honestly, ethnically and is the right thing to do. so this new flexible tariff that you are proposing — is it going to cost customers more money? no, it is not. you as the customer can come to our stores are online, you can choose the device you want, you can choose the device you want, you can choose the device you want, you can decide how much you want to be on the outset of the contract. you can tell us what our budgetary allowa nces you can tell us what our budgetary allowances and we can work out a length of contract that is right for you. we are flipping contracts in the industry. rather than me give you fixed—price agreements that are rigid, you decide what you need and we can write a contract that is right for you. prices have gone up. you put freighters up in april. with customers not prefer a cheaper

contract? you are right, we put it on the airtime component part. all of the competition put rpi up on everything. you are already 50% better off with o2. everything. you are already 50% better off with 02. with this custom plan, you can tailor the plan that is suitable for you and you will have complete flexibility. i will guarantee it will reduce pricing when the hardware is paid off. it looks like we are heading closer to a no—deal brexit. the international trade secretary says there is a 60% chance. will you bring back roaming charges if there is no deal? we have got to wait to see what the european networks do. we are committed to do the right thing by customers. i hope we can live with the current proposition which is free—roaming inside your bundle. that is what i will be putting to the rest of the european con ——

networks and i hope they will agree with me. you must have done some no—deal scenario planning — did that include looking at roaming charges? we are working with our european cou nterpa rts we are working with our european counterparts to make sure our customers are treated in the best possible way. oddly enough, shares in british gas owner centrica climbed 3.3% this morning on reaction to it paying £2.65 million in refunds, compensation and redress after wrongly overcharging customers. it is in positive territory. i will be back throughout the afternoon. always a talking point, mobile tariffs. more from the british -- the business is later on. oak, ash and birch are trees that are native to britain. over the years other varieties have been imported and, while this adds diversity to our woodlands, it can also bring problems in the form of pests and diseases. our correspondent tomos morgan is has been finding out what is being done to protect

british trees. so what we have here is a white fringe tree which is a non—native tree, but what we have noticed is that it has got these rather severe dieback symptoms. alongside the white fringe, the mock privet and its narrow leafed sibling, are now another three species infected with ash dieback in the uk. it is a fungal disease were leaf loss and a slow death inhibits greenery, but in the heart of gloucestershire specialists from the forestry commission at westonbirt arboretum are helping the process of saving those affected breeds. so we have been researching notjust the ash tree, but also the pathogen which causes ash dieback, and we have discovered high levels of tolerance in ash so we are hopeful in future we can select and breed tolerant ash trees so that we can replant. yet it is notjust ash types that risk in the uk.

according to the british plant health register there are over 1000 pests and diseases across the uk and around 30% of those pose a danger to the future of our trees. and many of those infecting our forests originate from abroad, which has led to the government last week putting a ban certain types of oak trees from being imported into the uk. the number of pests and diseases coming into the uk that impact on trees has risen exponentially over the last few years. have we been a bit slow in dealing with that issue? we saw impacts 50 years ago with the introduction of dutch elm disease, where elms have disappeared from many landscapes, so we are acting now to make sure that that doesn't happen to our most iconic tree species, particularly the oak. trees of ash dieback are not usually taken down as the disease is so widespread and when a species develops symptoms with the disease they are kept alive for monitoring and research purposes. there are scenarios where trees

with diseases are felled, say if the risk of spread is very great. some local authorities are using new methods in a bid to save our trees. in london, a method called bio—char technology is being used on oaks in bexley. it is thought injecting the ground around the tree with purified charcoal, soil quality improves, trees become healthier and in turn their defences are stronger to deal potential diseases. and here they have seen significant results. so last year the trees had pale and yellow leaves, as soon as spring came around in the first flush of its leaves it was unrecognisable, dark shades of green, the limbs started to lift up, it just looks like a brand—new tree.

the science behind the reliability of methods like bio—char are up for debate but the process of protecting the great woodlands has already begun. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. good afternoon, the weather is improving in the south east of england and anglia. this is from this morning when it was cold and wet. we will see less of this rather not just today and over the wet. we will see less of this rather notjust today and over the next wet. we will see less of this rather not just today and over the next few days. and more of this weather, clear sunny spells. this is aberdeen show this morning. this was the rain affecting east anglia and the south east, that is moving away out into the near continent. cloud following on bringing showers. the real sure
