that change be focused on three big issues that dominated the election, boffa, the environment, and immigration. a lot of the parties wa nt to immigration. a lot of the parties want to spend money but not a lot of them are focusing on who is going to pay for our welfare system. so, this is my main concern. and denmark we tend to not talk very nice about foreigners coming to the contrary and it's important to me that we change that. the main topic in the selection for me was the environment and climate. -- this election for the denmark becomes a third country to elect a leftist comment. the success to elect a leftist comment. the success of the poles translated to a successful government. time will tell on the dance will decide. —— the danes. let's brief you on some

of the other stories making the news. the authorities in sudan say 46 people were killed in an attempt by the security forces to crush pro—democracy protests, a much lower figure than the one hundred deaths reported by opposition—linked doctors. talks between the opposition and the transitional military government broke down earlier this week. president trump says not nearly enough progress has been made in talks with mexico to avert his threat to impose new trade tariffs on monday. washington is insisting on immediate measures to reduce the flow of migrants travelling through mexico to the us border. an appeal hearing in australia for the disgraced roman catholic cardinal, george pell, has been told by prosecutors that there's no reason for his sexual abuse convictions to be quashed. his lawyers say the evidence of one of the boys was made up, but prosecutors say the victim, now in his thirties, gave a truthful account of the abuse. the final us cruise ship has departed from cuba, following the sudden announcement

by the us that it was banning all such vessels from travelling to the island. cruise ship companies say nearly 800,000 passenger bookings will be affected by the policy, which is intended to put pressure on the communist regime in havana. research suggests that the number of young people moving house in england to start a newjob has nearly halved in the past 20 years. the resolution foundation think tank, which focuses on people on lower incomes, blames rent increases which have outstripped wages. president trump held talks in ireland with the prime minister, leo varadkar. referring to a key sticking point in the brexit negotiations, mr trump said the situation on the irish border after britain leaves the european union would "not be a problem at all". we have a border situation over here. i think is going to work out

well, it's going to work out very well, it's going to work out very well here. and again, the military are such a big factor and we'll be discussing that very much so it is an honour to be here with my friend and he is doing a greatjob. i think you do, the way it works now is that you do, the way it works now is that you want to try and keep it that way stop that's a big point with respect to brexit is your border. i'm sure is going to work out well. we are going to have a lot of details and stories regarding mexico trader, the tariffs that could be kicking in on monday, all that is coming. also we are looking at whether you are one of the millions who order food from apps such as deliveroo and uber eats? if so, you probably use them

for restaurant meals — like a curry, or a pizza, or a burger. but according to data from the companies, orders for an omelette or even toast and marmite are on the rise from people who can't be bothered to make them at home. they are being called the "lazyroo generation." broadcaster and commentator henry bonsu joins me now. i'm too old to be entered millennial. as at the generation? that's how they are being described. that's how they are being described. that's the daily mail ‘s interpretation of the data but what does it tell us from deliveroo was to mark ——? does it tell us from deliveroo was to mark --? i like to order it for things like thai green curry and all sorts of malaysian and thai food. i can't make that very easily at her but now it's things like toast, tea and toast. basic omelettes, things that would cost you 25p or 30p, you

can get the ingredients locally. but people are getting so daisy that they are prepared to spend three or four times what it costs to make it at home on the delivery alone in the food on top of that. it's an interesting story because when you think about the analysis, it's the cost on top of what you are getting delivered. the time as well to make it, a cup of tea for goodness sake. by it, a cup of tea for goodness sake. by the time they have delivered you a cup of tea, you could have made two. you could, but its people liking the positive rush, maybe there's something to the end offered to sit there, press the up, and you can see a little and icon, ghana motorbike driving along foster because certain real—time force of it probably makes you feel good. people often say this generation cannot afford to buy townhouse, you said a moment or two ago people aren't moving, if people are

spending their disposable income on things like this, you can understand why they're not saving. indeed. and that these on to our story we're talking about they do what is the fa ct talking about they do what is the fact that the over 65 could be a lot poorer in the future and that could bea poorer in the future and that could be a real problem in uk. maybe because they're spending the money on deliveries. people don't do it in paris in quite the same way. they like to cook their meals. this is a london story. it's a london service to —— story. send us your thoughts. that's our conversation this morning. are you are part of the lazyroo generation? you can reveal that on this programme, still to come. . . we hear from the sculptor who's created the first part of a permanent memorial for those who died in the d—day landings. the queen and her husband began

tim muffett went to meet one d—day veteran who's been raising money to go towards it. the sea was red with human blood. as an 18—year—old soldier, harry was amongst the first to learn on gold each on d—day. amongst the first to learn on gold each on d-day. i don't want anyone else to forget my mate really prayed full price stop now 93, harry's most recent mission has been to raise money. honouring the 22,000 troops under british command who died. he knows what a big memorial to the glorious did at omaha. they have got another one for the canadians, but we haven't had a memorial, which is sad, really. how much have you raised? £9,000. not bad for a silly old bloke like me. thank you very much. the money harry's in raising

was going towards this. when i was asked to do this, i felt an enormous sense of responsibility. the finishing touches are being made to david williams' ellis statue. initially i made them in clay, then i made them from the rubber, a wax positive and the wax is melted out and bronzes poured in. the words around the base from the bbc announcement that the allied forces had landed. d-day has come, early this morning the allies began the assault... close-up you can see just how well the stands and body shape has been captured —— stance. where could you find models who could pose for hours in positions like this? david turned to the world of ballet and football. the final sculpture took about nine months to make. my models were a footballer and a belly

dancer. i needed people like that because they had strength, they could hold the position. if you look at the sculptures, you can see that standing on one leg for a long time is very difficult. i really want people to react by, i think it's sort of a, to stop and look at it and have them slide feeling in their stomach going this — this means something to them. once it is inaugurated in normandy, this culture will form part of a larger memorial, the fundraising for which continues. harry's attending the remembrance ceremony in france, but before we set off, we were allowed to send him a special preview. do you see that? that's lovely. indeed. i moved. i'm overwhelmed! i mean it. i really feel it. that's all i can say. so, harry will be a part of

the world of sport. it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello i'm tulsen tollett and this is your thursday sport briefing, where we start with the news that cristiano ronaldo's 53rd career hat—trick helped portugal to a 3—1 win over switzerland and handed them a place in sunday's uefa nations league final. the game in porto was finely balanced until the 88th minute when the 34—year—old put his side in front, and then just two minutes later he got his third, taking them through to the final at the same venue where they'll face either england or the netherlands. wednesday at the french open was a complete washout as persistent rain forced the remaining quarter—finals at roland—garros to be moved to thursday, affecting both women's champion simona halep and men's world number one novak djokovic. there is the potential for the tournament to go through to monday depending on the weather over the next 24 hours. new zealand made it two wins from two at the cricket world cup when they struggled to a two wicket win over bangladesh at the 0val in london.

the netherlands take on england in their uefa nations league semifinal later on thursday with the winner to face portugal in sunday's final. the dutch sealed their place in the semifinals by finishing above the last two world cup—winning nations, france and germany. while england will see raheem sterling win his 50th cap, but not captain the side, as had been mentioned by his management company. i woke iwoke up i woke up this morning fuming. you know, i haven't had a conversation with them or anybody in my agency so... with them or anybody in my agency so... it was strange for me to wake up so... it was strange for me to wake up to that and see it. i cold my agent and i had to apologise, you know, on my behalf, i don't know where this has come from. —— called my agent. game five of the nhl‘s stanley cup final heads out later in boston with the bruins and st louis blues level at 2—2 in the best of seven series.

the blues were 4—2 winners in the last game on monday and are chasing a first—ever stanley cup triumph while boston last won in 2011. we heard that india beat south africa by six wickets in the cricket world cup but one indian player had a few issues with his bat. 0pener shikhar dhawan broke it trying to keep out a kagiso rabada delivery, luckily players have about eight bats to choose from these days so no difficulties finding a replacement. but it didn't help as he failed to add to his score of 8 and was out with the very next ball he faced. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — but from me and the rest of the team that is your thursday sport briefing 0ur our thanks to 0urthanks to him. president trump has been pursued by protests for much of the past week but in the tiny village of doonbeg in the west of ireland, he's considered a hero. last night his two sons —
