and i had to choose. and i chose life. i wasn't going to take the easy way out. and click looks at the privacy of your data, a year on from the launch of gdpr. that's in half an hour, here on bbc news. the contest to replace theresa may as prime minister looks set to feature a battle between two former allies who famously fell out the last time the job was up for grabs. this morning, the environment secretary michael gove announced he would be entering the race, saying he was ready to unite the conservative party and ready to deliver brexit.

ican i can confirm that i will be putting my name forward to be prime minister of this country. i believe that i am ready to unite the conservative and unionist party, ready to deliver brexit and ready to lead this great country. can you beat boris? i'm entering this contest because i want to put forward a positive set of ideas about how we can bring our country together. i believe i am ready to unite this country under conservative and unionist party. i'm looking forward to a contest of ideas. the former brexit secretary — dominic raab — is another of those eight candidates jostling to become tory leader. he told andrew marr that he will try to renegotiate a brexit deal with brussels and if that fails, will leave with no deal. when asked how it will be different this time — he said there would be a well—organised government operation. first of all, as i said, we'd be willing to walk away from negotiations if we don't get the very finite, targeted, reasonable change. secondly, i think my experience was of being undermined by some others in government, so we need to have a very well organised number 10 operation and a united cabinet. and i think if you do that

and you can be really credible in brussels that actually we mean business, we want a good deal, we want these limited changes, but we are willing to walk away otherwise, i think that will focus minds in a way that wasn't done before. one of two female candidates to announce they are running is the former work and pension secretary, esther mcvey. speaking earlier on sophie ridge on sunday on sky news, she said that if she became prime minister, britain wouldn't be asking for any more extensions and that the uk must complete its preparations for a no—deal exit. we won't be asking for any more extensions, that's part of the corrosive uncertainty that individuals, business, and the country do not want so that date is fixed. of course we have to say we need to make sure that we are ready to leave on that date. if the eu wanted to come back to us, the door is open. if they want to have a better deal, that's fine, we have always wanted a free trade agreement but what we have got to do is not waste time, time is limited, we have to make sure that we are ready to leave. earlier i spoke to the conservative mp and former northern ireland

secretary, theresa villiers. i asked her who she would be supporting for the party leadership. i have been in contact with a number of the leadership campaigns. i am in conversations with them. they have various means of trying to persuade mps. you know, invitation for coffee via text. only coffee? so i shall be thinking carefully about which leader, which potential leader is best able to reach out to those individuals who support the —— who is supporting conservatives have lost over the last months and years. what do they need to promise or avoid promising? they need to offer avoid promising? they need to offer a message of optimism and hope. they need to make the case once again for the fact that free society and free

enterprise can deliver social well—being and prosperity, that responsible management of the public finances is a crucial means to have strong public services. they need a message that goes beyond just endless brexit conversations. that has meant years of austerity, hasn't it? those public services that you talk about have seen incredible cuts which have had a big impact on people. you know, more people using food banks, councils unable to deliver the services they are meant to deliver. there have been some difficult decisions that have had to be made. but the reality is that we have more people in work than ever before in this country. you know, the unemployment is down to its lowest level in a0 years. the reality is that we can only have a strong nhs and strong public services if we have the money to fund them. that means maintaining economic stability and sound and responsible management of public finances. how embarrassing is it as a conservative that once again the country has to put everything on hold while your party sort itself out? it is a matter of regret that

we have come to this. i think the right outcome would have been to leave on the 29th of march, to get on with delivering brexit. the important thing is that we turn a page, we have a new leader who is determined to just page, we have a new leader who is determined tojust get page, we have a new leader who is determined to just get the brexit issue sorted out. the feedback i get from many people, whichever way they voted in a referendum, is theyjust wa nt voted in a referendum, is theyjust want us to get on with it and move on. but getting on with it and moving on is immensely difficult, we would have done it by now if it were that easy. just leaving with no deal is not straightforward, because we have to have so much in placejust to operate on wto rules, and if we have got a suspension of a lot of negotiations and votes in parliament because of the recess and this contest, how would we even be ready for the 31st october to leave with no deal? you are correct that the new prime minister will face many challenges, not least the in parliament. but a huge amount of

work has gone into preparing for the possibility of a no deal outcome. i hope a new prime minister will really make the case for a better dealfrom europe, really make the case for a better deal from europe, and really make the case for a better dealfrom europe, and resolve the problems with the irish backstop, replace them with alternative arrangements. but if the eu will not agree to that, we should be prepared to leave on wto temps. but even to do that, we have to produce a schedule covering services and more than 5000 products. we would need agreement from 163 of the wto states before the 31st of october. and there have already been objections to how we would do that. how have we got time? we are going to need another extension even to leave with no deal, aren't we? there is still more work to be done. but for example, if you look at the work that has been done at our ports, on both sides of the channel, you get, for example, the president and chairman of the port of calais, saying that calais is ready. there isa saying that calais is ready. there is a huge amount of effort going

into ensure that any additional checks are kept to a minimum. so i believe it is important that we stepped up preparations to make sure that we are ready on the 31st 0ctober, that we are ready on the 31st october, but a lot of work has already been done. voters in more than 20 eu countries will go to the polls today to select new meps. a number of countries — including the uk — have already voted, but the results can't be revealed until the polls have closed across the eu. here's our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas. (vt the uk was in the first wave of countries to vote in these eu elections, and the uk results, out this evening, will be watched for how far the handling of brexit may have impacted the share of votes won by the conservatives and labour, and how people are divided between pro—and anti—brexit parties. across europe, half a dozen more nations — this is latvia — have already voted. today, ballots are being cast in 21 more eu member states. in some countries it is migration that is the top concern.

elsewhere, the numbers of young people unemployed. here in northern france it is a contest between president macron‘s pro—eu movement, and the anti—eu nationalists of the former national front, that's being watched. translation: i am going to vote, it is my duty as a citizen, but i don't know yet who for. translation: this vote will be an important pointer of the future elections. it will give an idea who might come out on top. the official eu results will be released when polls close this evening. you can follow all of the results of the 2019 european elections with huw edwards and the team from ten o'clock this evening on bbc one and the bbc news channel, and you can find the latest results on the bbc news website. a 17—year—old boy has become the fourth person to be charged with the murder ofjodie chesney.

jodie, who was 17, was stabbed to death in a park in east london in march. investigators say the fourth person to be arrested has been charged with murder and with possession of a prohibited weapon, a stun gun. a man and a woman who were arrested at a house in sheffield on friday, have been charged. they will appear before magistrates in the city tomorrow. two teenagers died in an incident at the house in the shire green area of the city. phil bodmer has more details. the emergency services were called to a semi detached house at about 7.30 on friday morning, over concerns about safety. what happened, six children were taken to hospital, including a seven—month—old baby. now, two teenage boys later died in hospital. yesterday police told us that the four other children had been discharged from hospital. at the time, neighbours reported seeing dozens of emergency service vehicles, including police and ambulances, on the street. indeed an air ambulance was brought in and landed on a school playing field as well.

on friday, two people, as you mentioned, 37—year—old man and a 3a woman, were arrested on suspicion of murder. in the last hour or so, south yorkshire police have announced that two people arrested on friday from a house in shire green have now been charged and will appear at sheffield magistrates, as you mentioned, on monday. what they are not saying, we are not specifying what those charges are. so we don't know at the moment, all we can say is that two people arrested have now been charged. we are awaiting further details from south yorkshire police. there are legal reasons that we can't go into why they perhaps are not saying what the charges are at the moment. we are also awaiting results of postmortem examinations. those postmortems were carried out on friday evening. we were told they be made available at some time over the weekend, but we have no further detail on whether they will be made public.

the sunday times says it has found evidence that the snapchat app has become what it calls a "haven" for sexual predators who target young people. the newspaper has uncovered thousands of reported cases involving the photo—messaging app since 201a. john mcmanus reports. snapchat has helped to revolutionise mobile communication. it is a simple idea — photos and videos sent between users are deleted once they have been viewed, very quickly. that tends to induce a carefree attitude, which means if you feel like sending your mate an embarrassing picture of them or you, well, the image will quickly disappear once it has been seen. that makes the app popular with teenagers. but the sunday times says there is a dark side to the craze for sending what are known as "snaps". it says data it obtained under freedom of information requests shows that police officers are handling about three child sexual exploitation cases every day, in which snapchat has played some kind of role, although it doesn't

specify exactly what. users of the app can message each other, which means potential abusers can chat to and groom victims. and the automatic deletion of images makes it difficult to trace evidence of wrongdoing. the nspcc says is also easy for abusers to screenshot an image and save it to other platforms. there are 1a.5 million snapchat users in the uk, and those who want to join must be aged at least 13. the company says... strangers cannot chat to users without being first added as a contact and there are reporting tools within the app to report abuse. john mcmanus, bbc news. fire safety experts have told bbc radio 5live that the new round of testing of building materials following the fire at grenfell tower, is almost certain to see some majorfailures. and that could have a massive impact on hundreds of buildings including tower blocks, schools, hospitals and care homes.

adrian goldberg, from 5 live investigates, has been giving me more details. grenfell, a tragedy which took 72 lives, was clad with something called acm. this was cladding which, at the time, was legal, but which expert evidence at the grenfell enquiry suggested contributed to the spread of the fire around grenfell tower. the government has identified that there are still hundreds of buildings that are clad with acm around the country but they have made £600 million available in total for local councils and private landlords to remove that acm cladding in the fullness of time. what other forms are causing concerns, because it could be that other things will pop up as part of these inspections? that's right. because the acm cladding for grenfell was considered to be acceptable at the time, the government decided to commission an investigation into otherforms of cladding and building materials to see if they now posed a safety threat and a private company

commissioned by the government has identified as many as 1700 buildings around the country which need further testing because they may represent a fire risk. one of the kinds of cladding, called apl, is common, not to all of those buildings, but to many of them. i've spoken to one expert today who says that in the worst kind of circumstances, this kind of cladding could potentially be more dangerous than the cladding on grenfell tower. what is the government saying? the government has provided £600 million to remove the kind of cladding that was used at grenfell. they are waiting for the tests on the 1700 buildings to come through later this summer. and they say they are working with private landlords and with local councils to remove all kinds of dangerous cladding. the headlines on bbc news... borisjohnson and michael gove — the two figureheads of the official leave campaign — take on each other for

the conservative party leadership. andrea leadsom and dominic raab have alsojoined in the race hoping to be prime minister by the end ofjuly. a 17—year—old boy has become the fourth person to be charged with the murder ofjodie chesney, in a london park in march. the teenager has also been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, a stun gun. sport and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. good morning. it's only just started in paris but already there's been a shock at the french open — the wimbledon champion angelique kerber is out. kerber lasted little more than an hour as she was beaten by the russian teenager anastasia potapova in the first round — a career best for her. kerber had been struggling with injury in the run up to the tournament losing this match in straight sets 6—a, 6—2. neil lennon says celtic‘s priority will always be winning the scottish premiership but says he can't rule out the prospect of

winnng another treble next season. lennon was offered the role of permanent manager after his side beat hearts 2—1 in the scottish cup yesterday — their ninth domestic trophy in a row. the former parkhead captain returned to celtic park after brendan rodgers left for leicester city in february. it is a privilege to manage celtic, it is a huge club with great history. it's been important in my life were 19 or 20 years now. to be back at the helm is a wonderfulfeeling, and one that i accept with great humility and understanding. and ambition. you know, obviously i am ambitious, and i want more success as possible for the club. legendary celtic striker harry hood has died at the age of 7a. the club has paid tribute, describing him as a celtic great. he made 310 appearances for the hoops between 1969 and ‘76, scoring 123 goals. he'll be remembered for scoring

a hat—trick in an old firm game against rangers in 1973 and scoring the winning goal in the final of the 1971 scottish cup against rangers. staying with scottish football and st mirren and dundee united contest the premiership play off final laterfor the right to play in scotland's top flight next season. meanwhile, charlton face sunderland at wembley with the opportunity to secure a place in the english championship. sunderland managerjack ross isn't phased by the weight of expectation on his team. quite calm and focused, i don't know whether it is because we have been at wembley already this season. even this week, i've not sensed anything different about them. they are in a good place, but not any extra excitement, just really focused on trying to win the game this weekend. england'sjos buttler has played down injury concerns after his side were beaten by australia in yesterday's warm up game in southampton. england bowled and fielded well but lost momentum,

never seriously threatening the total of 297 set by australia with steve smith scoring a century on his return to engish soil after the ball tampering scandal. england are awaiting the results of a scan on mark wood's foot after he limped off with both joffra archer and liam dawson also picking up knocks, but buttler doesn't seem worried just four days before the start of the world cup. that is the nature of sport that injuries do happen. obviously around the world cup, everything is heightened because you want everybody to be fit and firing. unfortunately, in professional sport, things like this happen. and we will go through the six weeks within our team, we will have niggles, other players on other teams will have niggles. it isjust the nature of the game. england's bronte law remains in the running for her first career lpga title at the pure silk championship in virginia. she shares the lead with japan's nasa hataoka heading into sunday's final round. at one point it looked

like she'd be returning to the clubhouse a shot behind, but managed to birdie the 18th — her sixth in a round that also included two bogeys. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. president trump has begun the second day of his state visit to japan by playing golf with the country's prime minister shinzo abe. they've also been to a sumo wresting tournament and mr trump will later become the first foreign leader to meet the country's new emperor, naruhito. the united states and japan are in the process of negotiating a delicate trade deal. 0ur correspondent in japan, hywel griffith, has been telling me why president trump has been saying the trade agreement between the two countries needs looking at. well, he says that a trade deficit has been going for too long and he wants to rebalance things. maybe, he says, japanese businesses have had it too good for too long, so he wants them to invest in the us and wants us companies to have better terms trading here, particularly the us farmers who have

been somewhat at a disadvantage since what was the trans—pacific partnership came into life. they don't get the same terms as european farmers do here, for example. but while a lot of the back room discussion has been around trade, a lot of the picture opportunities have been about donald trump relaxing with his big international friend, prime minister shinzo abe, playing golf this morning. both men known to be big golf fans. wherever he goes, donald trump takes his sticks. in fact, he was gifted some golden golf sticks by prime minister shinzo abe after coming to office. now, after the golf, of course, a more traditionaljapanese pastime, both men came here to central tokyo to the sumo stadium. so, we saw donald trump getting a front row seat, a seat rather than a cushion, which most people had to use, to watch the grand final of the sumo competition, and then present

a trophy to the victor. trade clearly will be the main plank of the agenda for donald trump. he's made the point many times to other countries, too, that he feels often america is suffering because it's too understanding, it's too open? that's his argument. i mean, the deficit with japan, the deficit with china, clearly he wants progress, he wants a win, essentially, to take into the next presidential election. now, in terms of that relationship with japan, how does he do it? well, he refused to be part of a trans—pacific partnership, but he does want a bilateral deal. he's said that will not be produced in this meeting. maybe not even when he returns in june for the g20. but after the local elections here, in the senate, then he says byjuly, maybe, he'll unveil that deal. usefulfor shinzo abe, very useful for donald trump in showing the american people, the american voters, that balance is changing.

and ifjapan isn't willing to play by his terms, well, he can slap some tariffs onjapanese cars, which sell very well in the us, of course. a woman has been found alive more than two weeks after she went missing in a forest on the hawaiian island of maui. amanda eller was rescued by helicopterfrom a deep ravine — she'd been hiking in the area when she became lost and then injured. ramzan karmali reports. the last 17 days of my life had been the toughest of my life. hiker amanda eller knows how lucky she is to be alive. she spent over two weeks lost in a forest on the hawaiian island of maui. the yoga instructor thought she was walking back to her car but was walking further and further into the wilderness. it came down to life and death, and i had to choose, and i chose life. i wasn't going to take the easy way out, even though that meant more suffering for myself.

amanda was rescued from a deep ravine. she waved down a rescue helicopter funded by donations. one of her friends was on that rescue helicopter. out of the woodwork she comes out, arms swinging. i was like, there she is! i know her very well so i said, that is amanda eller! i thought, how is she dressed, she is not wearing shoes, we have to land this thing! "don't jump out of the helicopter!" in order to survive she foraged on berries, but she was injured with a fractured leg and severe burns from the sun. doctors say she should make a full recovery. she is most grateful for those who didn't give up on her. i have the most gratitude and respect and appreciation, i can't even put it into words, for the people who helped me, who have prayed for me. her mother, julia, has called the rescue a miracle.

taking a child swimming is something most parents and carers do without a second thought. but for children who have disabilities or are seriously ill, it can be much more challenging. but now a scheme in aberdeen has found a way to help children enjoy the water whilst keeping vital equipment dry, and there's a bonus — the children can swim with mermaids — or mer—men — as nasim asl reports. alanna has a rare lung disease. she is two. and today she is off to swim with a mermaid. she needs a constant supply of oxygen, fed by a tube in her bowel, and is hyper mobile. she gets so excited when i mention the swimming pool. she loves coming to the splash, splash, as she would call it. it's amazing to see, considering a couple of years ago we never thought she would ever get in the water. but with her hypermobility it's amazing to get into the water, because it's exercise for her legs. this is the only chance alanna gets to be safely in the pool. the sessions are free.

zara grant trained as a swimming instructor just for this. it was like part of the children's bucket list to swim with the mermaids. so that's one of the reasons i kind of started, just to create magical memories that parents could have forever. it allows the children to come in and have these memories, have a day out at the pool with their family and so they have that normality whilst going through their treatment. the mermaid swim started with eilidh patterson. she had neuroblastoma and died in 2017. she was five. it's obviously upsetting for eilidh's family because eilidh has passed. they have this memory now that they can keep forever and she got to fulfil some of her bucket list. the bond between zara and alanna is amazing. and what zara does for us as well, she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is safe for alanna to be in the pool. you love zara, don't you?

yeah. where's alanna ? where's alanna's cheeky smile? mum lauren looks after alanna full—time. but caring for her daughter isn't always straightforward. i don't even think about half of the things we do now. but when you think back of a year ago, or two years ago, we struggled. we did struggle. we don't know what her future is going to hold. if she is going to still be on oxygen for the rest of her life, or if she is going to be tube fed for the rest of her life. or if she is going to be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. we don't know. we have kind of learntjust to take each day as it comes. each trip to the pool brings benefits. it helps alanna's movement and her confidence. zara hopes to keep giving these special experiences to families that need them. and she has certainly made a splash with alanna. you can see more stories like that

on bbc scotland every weekday evening at nine o'clock or on the bbc iplayer. a black comedy from south korea, parasite, has taken the top prize at the cannes film festival. it's the first time a korean director has scooped the coveted palme d'0r prize in the festival's 72 year history. parasite, about a family of clever scammers, is the second asian film in a row to triumph at the world's biggest film festival. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear has been a lot more in the way of cloud round this morning. a mild start, but also a white one for some of us. this is where the rain has been over the last few hours, moving through scotland come out of northern ireland coming to northern england and north wales. it is lighter and more showery in nature, and as it continues to spread south and as it continues to spread south and east it will weaken. at the rain lingers in the far north of

scotland, with more of a breeze it will feel quite cool and disappointing. southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england brightening up into the afternoon, with highest values of 20 degrees if we are lucky. as we move out on sunday and into monday, the cold front sunday and into monday, the cold fro nt m oves sunday and into monday, the cold front moves away. this weather front in the far north of scotland will tend to linger. that means it is going to stay pretty and settled into scotland for bank holiday monday. some wet weather, rather breezy, making it feel quite cool. elsewhere, after a reasonably sunny start, a north—westerly wind will feed in showers along west facing coasts, sheltered eastern area seen the best of the brightness and the best of the warmth. take care.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines: borisjohnson and michael gove — the two figureheads of the official leave campaign — take on each other for the conservative party leadership. i will be putting my name forward to be prime minister of this country. i believe that i am ready to unite the conservative and unionist party, ready to deliver brexit,

and ready to lead
