in the world of putters and windmills, he is the man to beat. david sillito, bbc news, hastings. heavy rain in southern england has caused major travel disruption. two sinkholes were discovered on the m25 in kent last night, leading to its closure for almost eight hours. the rail operator southern has advised people to expect delays and cancellations for the rest of the day because of flooding on some tracks. time for a look at the weather — here's ben rich. some terrible conditions, and they go on elsewhere? reeta, the worst of the weather has shifted northwards. lots of rain falling across parts of the uk. since the rain began falling yesterday in lincolnshire, one or two spots had seen well over 80 millimetres, more than we would normally expect in the whole month ofjune. this is why, and area of

low pressure sitting around here, spiralling around that we have kyle jameson outbreaks of rain, the stripe of culture sitting in place, not moving anywhere quickly, so the wettest weather continue across parts of lincolnshire and the north midlands, wet weather to merseyside, north—east wales, dangling down into cornwall. the same areas will see cloud and persistent rain through the rest of this afternoon. where it was so wet in the south—east yesterday, we see sunshine but also some heavy, fungible shallots. light winds here, pretty brisk winds elsewhere. you will notice the strength of the north—easterly winds and you can see gusts of a0 mph or more, 11 degrees in birmingham, 12 in hull. northern ireland, the far north of england and scotland predominantly dry with some sunny and scotland predominantly dry with some sunny spells and a few showers in the far north of scotland. the band of cloud and rain moves erratically north—west woods overnight, some rain into north—west

england and southern clipping northern ireland. loads of eight to 12 degrees, not cold. tomorrow the area of low pressure is still in charge. the frontal system will move north—west, it will weaken but notice this lump of moisture approaching from the east, that is likely to bring some further very wet weather later in the day across parts of eastern england, we will have to keep ni on that, they could be further disruption. patchy rain moves north—west woods across parts of northern ireland, north—west england and seven scotland. elsewhere, sunshine and showers, lots going on, temperatures between 12 and 18 degrees. 0n 12 and 18 degrees. on thursday we have a band of cloud and rain in the picture, this time moving across parts of northern ireland and scotland, some uncertainty about how much rain you will get in the far north—west. sunny spells and heavy, thundery showers for england and wales which could cause some localised flooding and disruption. low pressure is still in charge

towards the very edge of the week but it may be that the showers will not be quite as heavy and there will be spells of sunshine in between. your regional forecast is coming up about ten minutes. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime: 0xfam is given an official warning by the charity watchdog following allegations of serious sexual misconduct by its staff in haiti — it's found 0xfam ignored warnings that some of its aid workers had used prostitutes. 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.

good afternoon, it's 1:30pm and here's your latest sports news. northern ireland can maintain their 100% start to euro 2020 qualifying with a win tonight. they're three from three after beating estonia on saturday, and this evening michael 0'neill‘s side are away to belarus and need to rack up the points as they play germany and the netherlands in the autumn. we work off the assumption that the other two, the big nations won't drop points against estonia and belarus and that will mean that we also won't drop points. it takes us into the group of three. that means we have huge games look forward to. that is the task was set the place in march. we are one game away from putting ourselves in a strong position. scotland's position improved after their win over cyprus on saturday in what was manager steve clarke's first in charge. they're third but face a tough trip to play belgium. and wales, also third, play leaders hungary in budapest. there will be 3,000 seats shut off after the hosts were punished by uefa for racist chanting during a game earlier this year. england will qualify for the knockout stage of the women's world cup with victory over argentina on friday. that's after argentina held 2011 winners japan to a goalless draw yesterday.

the japanese are bidding to reach a third consecutive final, but were frustrated by a team who played no games in 2016 and the majority of 2017 due to a lack of funding. speaking this morning, england midfielder kiera walsh says she is thankfulfor the backing given by the fa. speaking this morning, england's manchester city midfielder i think when you saw their celebrations after getting their first point at a world cup yesterday, it was inspiring and humbling how much it meant to those girls. it reminds us how lucky we are that we have got the facilities we've got. phil neville is our coach, we have countless staff. it puts into perspective what our nation does for us and inspires us to go on and push a bit further and bring the trophy home hopefully to say thanks for everything everyone has done for us. the first of three matches in france

today will get under way in less than half an hour with the netherlands taking on new zealand. and it's been an early start for thousands of dutch fans who have walked three and a half miles from the centre of le havre to the stadium. jack laugher and reigning world champion tom daley will lead the british team for this summer's crucial world championships in south koroea. the event provides the squad with their first opportunity to qualify for next year's 0lympic games. laugher hopes to complete his set of major diving medals having won 0lympic, european and commonwealth titles during his career. he heads to the tournament off the back of his most successful individual world series campaign, where he claimed five medals. i really enjoy it, every competition has been different for me and it's got better and better every time i've competed. i've done really well with the pressure and being the top dog in british diving on three metres is a hard position to maintain buti metres is a hard position to maintain but i think i've solidified that this year with more fantastic

performances. you've got to work on those really small things. they are the things that make the difference at the end of the day, they refresh you as well, getting used to it and competing at my best. those are the tiny margins that will make me go from 32nd and second to first, hopefully. the weather continues to cause big problems at the cricket world cup. south africa vs west indies was abandoned yesterday. and today's match betwen bangladesh and sri lanka is in danger of going the same way. this the scene at bristol today. it's been raining there for the last couple of days and is forecast to continue on—and—off for the rest of the day. any play at all looking very unlikely. that's all the sport for now. just a reminder that game between new zealand and the netherlands gets under way shortly — you can watch it on the bbc sport website, bbc.co.uk/sport — it's also live on the red button. and i'll have a full round up for you later on sportsday at 6:30.

now to some breaking news from the last half hour — 0xfam has been given an official warning by the charity commission for the way it dealt with allegations of sexual misconduct by its former staff in haiti. the charity watchdog described a ‘culture of poor behaviour‘ among 0xfam workers sent to help victims of the 2010 haiti earthquake. in response, the charity has said it is "deeply sorry" for its failure to prevent sexual abuse by its staff in haiti. baroness stowell chairs the charity commission. well, i think that the incidents in haiti were very dismaying. i think, more broadly, because what we have done is looked into 0xfam more broadly, and what i feel, and what i think everyone feels, is we were very let down by 0xfam. this is one of our best—known charities in the uk, it is there to put people first. and it failed to live up to people's expectations. stephen twigg is an mp and chair of the international development committee. hejoins me now from westminster.

thank you for being here. a lot of ground is covered in this report, what strikes you as being of the most importance? good afternoon. i haven't yet had a chance to read the full report but i've been briefed by the charity commission. it strikes me they've done a very thorough piece of work and i want to echo what they had said, which is that in 2011, what 0xfam did was put its reputation above the interests of thoseit reputation above the interests of those it is meant to serve. we must never see this happen again and i wa nt to never see this happen again and i want to see 0xfam implement all the recommendations of the charity commission. we also have to face up to the fact this goes beyond 0xfam. it predates 2011, it's about the aid sector as a whole and the whole sector as a whole and the whole sector needs to get its act together. one of the key findings of this report is that 0xfam ignored warnings and that is essentially

your point, that it put its reputation above getting its house in order. absolutely. it's a huge concern. i pay tribute to those who have come forward, those who have spoken out. 0ften it's difficult to do that. their concerns should be taken seriously do that. their concerns should be ta ken seriously and do that. their concerns should be taken seriously and treated with urgency. what we see is a failure to do that. the report raises a number of other issues which we are dressed asa of other issues which we are dressed as a select committee in our enquiry into the issues last year. the importance of survivors and victims being at the centre of this, their voices haven't been heard so far, they need to be heard loud and clear. you've talked about the wider aid sector, why do you raise that and why do you fear these issues might be more endemic? we started oui’ might be more endemic? we started our enquiry when the times ran their articles about 0xfam in haiti last year. we quickly discovered this

went back almost two decades to reports published in 2002 with concerns about actions of un personnel. we have the 0xfam case but we have well documented examples from other non—government organisations but also from the un and that is why the whole sector needs to come together and work with government to achieve change. the previous secretary of state penny mordaunt lead on this when the issue raised and i want to see rory stewart do the same. the uk has a responsibility to the world to get this right because we can address it in ourown this right because we can address it in our own country but we need to address it globally as well. what do you think the effect of the report is going to be on 0xfam? what i think it's incredibly important is that 0xfam implements all of the recommendations in the report, that we see the change of culture in 0xfa m we see the change of culture in 0xfam but the report rightly demands. the new head of 0xfam gb

has been in post for a short period of time, i think he's demonstrated he's saying the right things. i want 0xfa m he's saying the right things. i want 0xfam to fully implement this report because i recognise that 0xfam does fantastic work. i've seen their projects around the world and i would like 0xfam to be back in a situation where it's able to apply again for situation where it's able to apply againfor uk situation where it's able to apply again for uk funding to support essential works to help the poorest people in the world. before that can happen, they've got to demonstrate table happen, they've got to demonstrate ta ble fully happen, they've got to demonstrate table fully implement the report. thank you. -- they've got to demonstrate that they can fully implement the report. it has emerged that the security service m15 has been put into "special measures" because of what has been described as a "historical lack of compliance" with the law on managing data gathered during investigations.

a highly critical report from the security services watchdog was made public during a hearing at the high court this morning, in a case brought by the campaign group liberty. our legal correspondent, clive coleman, was there. a month ago sajid javid revealed there had been breaches of the safeguards within the investigatory powers act which was famously dubbed the snoopers‘ charter. that was supposed to put in place serious safeguards of the privacy of citizens and individuals and also giving to the security services comprehensive powers in terms of obtaining and retaining data. what we've heard is truly extraordinary, in effect m15 have been running an operation for the last three years that has been unlawful, so unlawful the information it has obtained by way of warrants, that the investigatory powers commissioner has effectively put m15 into special measures in relation to the processing of those warrants. this arises as the result of a legal challenge brought by liberty.

i'm joined by the legal officer for liberty. it is very strong language that lord justice fulford has used in this report. this is the first time today we've seen the contents of it. run me through some of the key issues. it's really shocking what we've heard this morning. mi5 have been holding onto people's data, ordinary people's data, illegally for many years. not only that but they have been trying to keep their really serious errors secret. secret from the watchdog, secret from the home office, secret from the prime minister and secret from the public. we only know because of this case. the language used by

lord justice fulford, he talks about the gravity of what has gone on and talks about m15 being in special measures. that's language we haven't heard before. it's true. none of us have trust in the way the data is being handled. liberty has been saying for a long time, or has been warning about the sweeping and rights encroaching powers given to the government under this act that allows them to spy on anyone and collect any one's data. the data they collect is also being mishandled and kept when there is no lawful basis to keep it. we say that today underscores our concerns and it shows that we aren't protected, our rights aren't protected by the legislation and our liberties and freedoms are not defended by the safeguards. let's go into some of the detail. one that people might find concerning is the way it handled

legal professionally privileged material. this is material that arises when a citizen talks to their lawyers. run through the concerns about the way in which that material is retained. so, the concerns are, like that of the data, but it's been retained when there is no lawful basis to retain it. it's been kept for far longer than it should be. there are other concerns with the way the material is being handled. it shouldn't be looked at by people if it's legally privileged but the systems are failing and this data is being seen by people at mi5 when it shouldn't be. one final detail, the deputy director—general of m15 referred to data being held in what he described as "ungoverned spaces". it truly is a shocking

report or decision by lord justice fulford and one that m15 will have to consider very carefully in future and in the way in which they apply for warrants to obtain the data they need to keep us safe. the leading children's charity — the nspcc — has cut ties with munroe bergdorf, one of the uk's most influential transgender activists. in a statement, the nspcc said ms bergdorf "would have no ongoing relationship with childline or the nspcc". she says she doesn't understand why it happened. the bbc‘s lgbt correspondent, ben hunte, has been to meet her. childline offers advice for all sorts of things. really think about, do you really need to come out? a large number of the young people they help contact them about gender and identity issues. i am munroe, and today we are talking about working out your gender identity. so when the recently appointed munroe bergdorf as a charity's first lgbt campaigner, not many people could have guessed

that her role would be ended just three days later. especially munroe bergdorf. they didn't even contact me, they didn't even contact my representatives or me. theyjust released a statement. so how did you first find out that you had been dropped? i was asleep, and i woke up and the statement was out. and have they said anything since? no, they have said absolutely nothing. and the frustrating thing is that i know that i am more than qualified for that role. were you surprised by anything that has taken place? honestly, no. i called childline days before this happened, and i said, "guys, you're probably going to get some pushback." and they were like, "don't worry, everything's fine. we are fully prepared, we knew what we were getting into when we asked you to be on board." and i could hear in their voices that something wasn't right. many lgbt influencers have been involved with childline's campaigns.

but when munroe's official role was announced, there was a lot of backlash. the bbc has seen evidence of people making multiple social media accounts and even starting online organisationsjust to be heard. this is the third time now that you have been removed from a very public role. what do you think is behind that? why is this happening so much? transphobia. and i'm tired. it is notjust me, this happens to every single trans—person that speaks about what we need as a community, how we need to push forward as a community, and why what we are being given is not enough. being a trans—person in the uk at the moment is being a second—class citizen. despite all of this, munroe says that if she was offered the childline role again, she would like to say yes once more. ben hunt, bbc news. in a moment, we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. 0xfam is given an official warning by the charity watchdog following allegations of serious sexual misconduct by its staff in haiti.

two more tory leadership candidates — mark harper and andrea leadsom — officially launch their campaigns to succeed theresa may. a government regulator says the storage and handling of large amounts of data by the security service m15 is "undoubtedly unlawful". i'm ben bland in the business news. the latest figures show that the uk's unemployment rate held steady at 3.8%, its lowest level since 197a. the office for national statistics also said wages went up by more than expected in the three months to april. pay was up by 3.a% compared with a year ago. after taking inflation — average price increases — into account, wage growth was 1.a%. the uk risks losing its position as a world leader in mobile connectivity — that's the stark warning from britain's mobile phone operators. the networks are urging the government to clarify its position over huawei.

they've written asking for an urgent meeting between industry leaders and the government to discuss their concerns. the head of the uk's city watchdog is the latest to say the suspended woodford equity income fund should waive the management fees it charges investors. andrew bailey of the financial conduct authority said neil woodford "should consider his position" about the fees. this came after mp nicky morgan said mr woodford was taking "a huge amount of money" — reportedly £100,000 per day. it seems we have a two—speed jobs market — with public sector employers twice as likely to hire new staff in the next few months than private firms. this is the suggestion from a new study by the employment group manpower. it found there are 100,000 unfilled posts in the health service — as the nhs struggles to replace eu workers who are leaving the uk. 0n the other hand, private companies are moving cautiously onjobs

until the brexit picture becomes clearer. james hick is the uk managing director of manpower group, they've produced the report. any surprises out of this?” any surprises out of this? i think the diversion we are starting to see between the confidence in hiring in the public sector versus the private sector is quite stark. we haven't seen sector is quite stark. we haven't seen this gap in the last seven yea rs. seen this gap in the last seven years. that is a concern. there are a number of sectors that are also in the private sector that are bellwether to our state of the economy. that's things like manufacturing, logistics and warehousing. as those sectors start to decline in confidence, we start to decline in confidence, we start to get a bit concerned about what's going to happen to the jobs economy. is there much variation in the

picture according to where in the uk people are looking for work? another concern is the south—east is falling well behind the national average this quarter. the south—east and london has also been lagging behind the national average for the past three orfour quarters the national average for the past three or four quarters and clearly important parts of the jobs economy. there are much brighter areas throughout the uk. the east midlands and the midlands maintains quite good strength, which is surprising but really good news. if the private sector isn't hiring because there is uncertainty around brexit, does it mean we can expect to see a surge in private sector recruitment once the picture around brexit becomes clearer? that's a great point. there is no doubt the private sector is feeling that concern about where investments are made now the jobs

economy and wages have been very healthy. just think what it could be, and when we get this certainty it could be in a really great position. how does this finding tally with the latest unemployment figures? we've heard unemployment is a record lace and wages are rising faster than expected. a record lace and wages are rising faster than expectedlj a record lace and wages are rising faster than expected. i think we are in line with the recent stats that came out today. what we are seeing is parts of the population entering those jobs, is parts of the population entering thosejobs, and is parts of the population entering those jobs, and it's is parts of the population entering thosejobs, and it's the is parts of the population entering those jobs, and it's the older workers tending to fill those new jobs and that gap, which is good news because you tend to have less people wanting to retire and wanting to continue to work. we've seen highest levels of female employment as well, also good news that the workforce is becoming more diverse. there are some warning signs and let's hope we get that certainty

seen. let's hope we get that certainty seen. thank you. in other business news we've been following. intu — the owner of lakeside, the trafford centre, and the manchester arndale — is planning to vote against sir philip green's revised proposals to save his arcadia retail empire. sir philip wants to cut the rent that arcadia pays on its stores including topshop, burton, and dorothy perkins. he is suggesting less severe cuts than before, but if landlords reject the plans tomorrow, the retail giant could go into adminstration. intu and arcadia refused to comment. energy bills could go up by a few pounds a year to pay for a new nuclear power station at sizewell in suffolk. that is if a new financing plan being considered by ministers goes ahead after a consultation. backers of the plan say it would help bring the cost of nuclear power closer to current market rates — rather than the higher rate the government agreed to pay for power from another new plant at hinkley point in somerset. nearly 200 business leaders

have signed an open letter arguing us moves to restrict abortion are "bad for business". the campaign comes as several us states have passed or are considering stricter new abortion laws. the letter published in the new york times said curbs on abortion threaten the health of staff and customers. the chief executives of slack, square, zoom, and bloomberg were among those who signed the letter. the ftse 100 extended gains as signs of more government spending in china to boost the economy drove shares in ftse miners including rio tinto, and bhp 2% — 3% higher. china is a big consumer of metals — hence the boost to those shares. antofagasta and glencore were also up. 0il majors bp and shell gained on theback of a rise in the price of crude spurred by expectations that the club of main oil producing countries will keep withholding supply. limited supply keeps the price up. 0n the other hand, the latest sign of trouble

on britain's high street — fashion retailer ted baker shares down nearly one—third to a six and a half year low after warning profits would come in well below analysts‘ expectations. it's it‘s the retail sector that seems to be struggling at the moment. we‘ll see what happens with arcadia volu nta ry see what happens with arcadia voluntary arrangement they will be putting to creditors tomorrow, so we‘ll be keeping an eye on retail stocks on that front as well. but the picture there, we will try and pick out another few interesting shares and see how they are moving throughout the afternoon. that‘s all the business news. now it‘s time for a look at the weather.

good afternoon. heavy rain has caused flooding across some parts of the uk in the last 2a hours or so. parts of lincolnshire recorded over 70 millimetres of rain injust 2a hours. it‘s more rain than we would normally expect to see in the whole month ofjune. the weather front has become very slow moving. the wettest areas have been across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, the east midlands and towards wales, just clipping into the far west of cornwall as well. some heavy rain which could cause some further issues. to the south east of that, some sunny spells, yes, but also a scattering of heavy, thundery showers. the wind is light towards the south—east, but elsewhere, quite a windy day. and underneath these outbreaks of rain, with that brisk wind which could bring gusts of up to a0

mph or so, it will feel very cool indeed. 11 or 12 degrees. all the while, scotland and northern ireland seeing a fair amount of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, just a few showers across the far north of scotland. as we go through this evening and tonight, this band of cloud and rain will move very slowly further north—westwards, more of north—west england will get into the rain. some of that rain clipping into northern ireland and a southern scotland by the end of the night as well. temperatures between nine and 12 degrees. and as we go onto tomorrow, low pressure still very much in charge on the scene. this frontal system taking rain into southern scotland, part of northern ireland. and this next lump of wet weather here will start to move its way in across eastern england. so, initially, a bit drier here for the first part of the day, then the rain will spread into east anglia, clipping once again into lincolnshire, parts of yorkshire, and the east midlands. and at the same time, ourfirst band of cloud and rain will bring some very wet weather across southern scotland, some rain at times into northern ireland. elsewhere, a mixture of sunshine and showers. temperatures of 12 to 18 degrees. on thursday, it is still unsettled, still this band of cloud and rain moving erratically north—westwards across scotland and northern ireland.
