the fate of sir philip green's retail empire is expected to be decided today — with a crucial vote on a plan to close shops and slash rents. and in sport — the united states records the biggest ever victory in the women's world cup as they crush thailand 13—0. good morning — and welcome to the bbc news at 9:00. the uk is promising to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 — under a new government plan to tackle climate change. it means emissions will either have to be eliminated completely — or offset by planting trees or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. britain is thought to be

the first major nation to put forward such legislation — which will amend the 2008 climate change act. the move is being hailed as historic by campaigners, but critics say the action is being taken too late, and fear the target will never be met. here's our environment analyst, roger harrabin. electric and hydrogen vehicles, the end to natural gas in the home, much cleaner industries — they will all have to happen as the uk pledges to produce almost zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. scenes like the wild weather in australia have helped convince the government that the threat of climate change is urgent. protesters from the extinction rebellion group rammed the message home and so did striking schoolchildren. mrs may says young people will get a say in her carbon cutting plans. some say the task of insulating all homes well by 2050 is impossible,

with not enough people to do the work. others say the low carbon drive is too expensive at perhaps £1 trillion. but if the government produces the policies to back up its climate pledge, society will have to change. roger harrabin, bbc news. the acting energy minister chris skidmore was asked by bbc radio four‘s today programme if the target would be amended by a future government. what's so important is that across all parties, we had 190 mps sign up to say we should legislate for a net zero, all political parties have signed up and most tory leadership contenders have signed up to making sure we commit to zero by 2050 and we need the political stability for businesses to deliver by 2050. at 9:20am we'll be speaking

to climate change campaigner, aaron kiely, from friends of the earth, to find out what impact this target will have on you. now to politics. boris johnson officially launches his campaign to become conservative party leader today, with a pledge to leave the eu on october the 31st, no matter what. he's warning that any further delay to brexit will spell disaster for the conservatives — and says his two election victories as london mayor show he's the person most able to beat jeremy corbyn. the home secretary, sajid javid, will also launch his leadership bid later, with a focus on social mobility, and bringing a fresh look to the conservative party. elsewhere in westminster, labour will lead a cross—party move to try to stop any future prime minister taking the uk out of europe without a deal. a busy day for politics, then. 0ur assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminsterfor us. good morning, norman. let's begin with the campaign launches first of

all and boris johnson this with the campaign launches first of all and borisjohnson this morning. having been accused by the other leadership contenders of not having the character to be prime minister, presumably he will have taken advice on that and will he be answering questions? he has kept a relatively low profile, hasn't he? he will be answering questions but i don't think he will do one—to—one broadcast interviews afterwards. we will have to find out but yes, he certainly will be answering questions, and a lot of those inevitably will focus on some of the doubts, some of the monies expressed by other candidates over his character, whether he is a suitable person to be prime minister, raised most sharply last night by his rival rory stewart who questioned notjust whether he would have a grasp of the detailfor complex huge organisations like the nhs, like the education system, but also questioned whether he was the man who should be issuing instructions to nuclear submarines, in other words, whether he could be trusted with his finger on the nuclear button. so there will be those

character questions, albeit liz truss, chief secretary to the treasury, one of his key backers, the woman team johnson put up this morning to field questions in his absence, waved away those concerns when she was questioned today. he has been working 24/7 to bring over oui’ has been working 24/7 to bring over ourmps. has been working 24/7 to bring over our mps. because, this is the stage where we have got to convince members of the parliamentary party to support boris johnson. members of the parliamentary party to support borisjohnson. he is the best candidate. i think he is a positive, optimistic person, that's not only going to deliver brexit but also make our country more successful, more positive about the future. it is not just it is notjust the character questions borisjohnson will face, he will also face the credibility questions because his central pitch is that he, borisjohnson, would ta ke is that he, borisjohnson, would take the uk out of the eu come what may on october 31, however, we know the eu, presidentjean—claude juncker yesterday, saying no renegotiation. we know there is

comparatively little time until 0ctober comparatively little time until october 31, and anyway, brussels pretty much closes down, they have disbanded their negotiating team, and it's not clear, frankly, that mr johnson has a blueprint to break the brexit deadlock. so he will face, i think, also, some tough questioning about how he is going to be able to broker some fresh deal in the remaining few months before october 31. and as to this labour lead cross— party 31. and as to this labour lead cross—party plan to try to prevent a no—deal brexit, norman, the timing of this, is this design, do you think, also to cut across those conservative leadership candidates that are saying they would take the uk out of the eu without a deal on 0ctober uk out of the eu without a deal on october 31? i think it's very clearly that. there is widespread concern that some of the campaign noises emerging from the tory leadership campaign to the effect that, 0k, leadership campaign to the effect that, ok, if we can't get a deal we will just leave, so what that, ok, if we can't get a deal we willjust leave, so what we are going to see is a labour motion

which would set asidejune 25 as a day when backbenchers could legislate to thwart no deal. now, they might do that by perhaps ruling out the option of prorogue in parliament, perhaps insisting if it got to that stage any future prime minister would have to go back and seek an extension but it does open up seek an extension but it does open up the possibility that if hypothetically borisjohnson or another of the no dealers was to win the tory leadership contest, you would end up with a parliament versus the prime minister showdown pretty quickly with parliament probably determined to block no deal, and a borisjohnson prime minister probably determined to keep it on the table. ok, norman, a busy day ahead for you. thank you very much for the moment. whirlpool has been ordered by the government to recall 500,000 of its tumble dryers, over fears they pose a fire safety risk. it comes four years after whirlpool issued a warning after it found its hotpoint,

creda and indesit dryers had a fault which needed fixing. the fault was blamed for at least 750 fires over an 11—year period, according to the government. whirlpool said safety was its "number one priority". our business journalist dominic 0'connell is here. dominic, let'sjust be dominic, let's just be very clear first of all, which products we are talking about. 5 million in total we re talking about. 5 million in total were made, hotpoint, indesit, creda, pro line and caps makes one tumble dryers and the problem goes back several years when they found lindt could build up at the back of these tumble dryers and full on the heating element and cause a fire. the office of trading standards has had a look at this and is happy with the fix will world pool came up with but the problem is not all dryers have been fixed. a few people have taken them back to will peel or had engineers fix them but several hundred thousand of these are still out there —— whirlpool. i haven't

been fixed. they found a lot of faults, they are less than impressed, that's a better way to put it, with the way whirlpool went about contacting customers so now the government has taken this step ofa the government has taken this step of a mandatory product recall. so this is why four years on the government is doing this? yes, because they are less than happy with whirlpool‘s voluntary effort so they are recalling those products and there is a bunch of things that will pull needs to do to contact these customers and fix it and hopefully they will clean up these 500,000 that are still out there. there is a problem, product recalls don't always work, it relies on some customers to be a bit involved, and realising they have got one of these things and it needs to be fixed. the government clearly hoping the publicity will do the trick. it will jog publicity will do the trick. it will jog anyone's memory that hasn't got round to doing this. let's talk about arcadia, we discussed this last week, but it does seem that today absolutely is the day to decide its future. would you agree?

yes, there could be another postponement, arcadia owns topshop, burtons, and a bunch of the high street brands. its creditors were landlords, pension funds, are being asked to take some pain so that hopefully it can come out of the other side more robust. the sticking point appears to be the landlords who have been asked to accept big rent reductions, they are cutting up rough about this. talking to a few people this morning, it is difficult to predict the outcome. 0ne people this morning, it is difficult to predict the outcome. one of the big landlords pot which owns a couple of big shopping centres, we know will vote against but people i've spoken to this morning seem to think the cva will go through but the outcome is uncertain and last week arcadia thought it had it in the bag and postponed it because it didn't, so we will wait to see what happens around midday. we will talk about that arcadia story a little more ina about that arcadia story a little more in a few minutes' time. thousands of protesters and police in hong kong are engaged in a stand—off, as anger grows over a bill

which would allow the territory to extradite people for trial in mainland china. the bill was due to have a second reading today, but authorities have delayed it. huge crowds have gathered, blockading the government headquarters and main roads nearby. riot police have responded by using pepper spray, and have said they are prepared to use force. stephen mcdonnell is in hong kong for us. sorry, we are not going to steven live but we can go to a report he sent us a little earlier. there is some thought they could have postponed this bill reading because pro—beijing members of the legislative council would have to run the gauntlet of tens of thousands of protesters who know who they are and who are out here to try and stop that bill going through. in scenes reminiscent of the failed umbrella movement democracy push,

the heart of the cbd here has been occupied by demonstrators in big numbers. as i say, tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, including sitting down on main streets. 0ne thousands, including sitting down on main streets. one of the reasons they are doing this is because hong kong's legislative council, i think, most independent observers would say isa most independent observers would say is a rigged legislature. the government has the numbers there so if it really wants to it can push through whatever it likes. and so, there is a feeling amongst those who are opposed to this bill which would allow the government to be able to extradite people to mainland china to face courts controlled by the communist party. those who oppose that, they think they have no choice but to take their argument to the streets because eventually they can't stop it inside the legislative council, given that the system favours the government and only half the members of the legislative council are voted on anyway, and so are elected by the people directly

a nyway are elected by the people directly anyway and so they think the only way you can do it is to embarrass the government. 1 million people turned out on the weekend to oppose this bill and chief executive carrie lam said they don't really understand it and we are pushing ahead irrespective. and so they have turned out again here today despite the police trying to cordon off public spaces here, to stop people gathering in areas like where i am now, large numbers of people have come out yet again in hong kong to oppose this bill. stephen mcdonnell. these are the latest live pictures that we are receiving from hong kong. the protesters, mainly stu d e nts kong. the protesters, mainly students and young people, who are out involved in the protests against this extradition bill, whether they will feel that they are making some progress because the second reading of the bill has been delayed remains to be seen. but the riot police are using pepper spray and saying they

will respond with additional force if necessary. but a real face—off between the protesters and police at this stage. the focus for many of the protesters, the roads near the offices of hong kong's chief executive. so those live pictures coming to us from hong kong and we will keep monitoring developments there of course to see how this protest a nd there of course to see how this protest and police response unfolds the headlines on bbc news. the uk commits to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, making it the first major nation to propose the target. borisjohnson will break his silence this morning and make his pitch to become the next conservative party leader. he

will promise to deliver brexit without delay. whirlpool is ordered to recall 500,000 tumble dryers over concerns the appliances pose a fire risk. and in sport. the usa is set a new women's world cup record beating thailand 13—0 in their opening game of the tournament, alex morgan with five goals, ten of them came in the second half. northern ireland have w011 second half. northern ireland have won four matches in a row in qualifying for the first time in their history. they beat belarus to top their euro 2020 group. they are hundred metre runner caster semenya gives another indication is she may switch distances after winning a 2000 metre race, the first time she has competed since appealing against rules forcing her to take testosterone suppressing drugs. more to come on all of those stories a little later in the hour. thank you very much.

more now on our top story — greenhouse gas emissions in the uk will be cut to almost zero by 2050, under a new government plan to tackle climate change. aaron kiely, climate campaigner from friends of the earthjoins me now. you're very welcome. the uk already had a 2050 target, didn't it, to reduce greenhouse gases by 80%. this obviously goes much further. what is your response to this? do you think it is achievable? do you think it is ambitious enough? absolutely, this is the right direction we need to be taken, we is the right direction we need to be ta ken, we need is the right direction we need to be taken, we need to be massively cutting carbon and all greenhouse gas emissions, actually, as quickly as we possibly can. so definitely welcome the long term target. it is a step forward. it is an increase on the target that was set in the climate change act over ten years ago. now, and i think itjust reflects the reality that we are in a climate emergency and we are already seeing 1 degrees of global warming, immense devastation, floods, famines, droughts and we must stop reaching 1.5 degrees of warming where it would be absolutely

catastrophic. we have a small window of opportunity to do that so it is very good we have got this target, it is tighter than it was before, but the real thing now is about the action that will back that up and the big changes we need in society and the economy. let's talk about that in a second because it sounds as though you have done that think we have reached a crucial tipping point. when we talk about net zero, what does that mean? it is really simple, another way you might think about it is carbon neutral, but it is also that we emit less emissions than are captured by natural processes like trees and other natural systems. it is reallyjust a massive amount of cutting of greenhouse gas emissions and absorbing the rest through natural processes . absorbing the rest through natural processes. cutting those emissions and offsetting those emissions that do exist. what do we as individuals need to change? what can we do to contribute to that? there is lots of things, we do need a big societal shift, so i don'tjust want to say that it shift, so i don'tjust want to say thatitis shift, so i don'tjust want to say that it is all down to individuals, but there are definitely things people can do. they can fly less, they can make sure their home is

well insulated, particularly with loft insulation, they can also cut down on meat and dairy. those things make a tangible difference. but really the important thing is collective action. we are seeing this target being proposed by the outgoing prime minister, i think, because there has been a massive increase in the movement around climate change. we have seen the youth strike is rebellion and it is testa m e nt to youth strike is rebellion and it is testament to them but we have a long way to go. long—term targets are great but what is actually going to change now, and we have seen the government pursue fracking in recent yea rs, government pursue fracking in recent years, airport expansion and road building and those of the kind of policies we cannot have if we are going to meet this target. policies we cannot have if we are going to meet this targetm policies we cannot have if we are going to meet this target. it has got to be the combination of big picture public policy changes as well as individual changes, of course. the prime minister is talking about appointing a youth council, youth advisory group. does that encourage you? it does, it is positive, there is a huge mass of energy that has been brought to climate movement by young people who are rightly concerned about the situation now and also their future.

will they have a habitable planet? the message we say alongside young people is that actually this target probably should be sooner, but the real thing, maybe 2045 at the latest, but the real thing we need now is action, it is about transforming society and the economy for the better and make it a fairer, greener, get more homes don mclean homes for people, doubling transport system and things like trees that will help meet the target. in terms of who you would like to be the next conservative leader and prime minister, to make it clear this is a priority for them. we think climate change is the biggest threat to humanity. it is not over yet, we have a small window to act and now is the time, more than ever, we need big, ambitious vision from the government and we need to match that with investment and investment in communities across the country to help us become a society. ok, aaron, thank you very much. the future of sir philip green's arcadia retail group could be determined by some

of its biggest landlords later. they are due to decide whether to back plans to cut rents on some branches of topshop, dorothy perkins, wallis and miss selfridge, among others. if they reject them, arcadia could collapse. arcadia are the backbone of hundreds of high streets across the uk. it's notjust topshop but miss selfridge, burtons, wallis, evans, and dorothy perkins. 20 years ago they were churning out big profits and peak high street fashion. but topshop has been falling out of fashion. they've faced big competition from online retailers. a lot of people say they haven't invested enough to make their stores swanky and the boss, sir philip green, has had a lot of negative publicity. all of that means that this store is one of nearly 50 he is hoping to try and close. that's why he is hoping to convince his landlords to sign a deal agreeing to close some stores and pay less rent for others in order to save the rest.

the trouble is his biggest landlord isn't keen on the idea. arcadia bosses have spent the last week making last—ditch attempts to try and convince landlords like intu to support the plan. and they say, if it is not approved by 75% of investors, then the whole business could go into administration. that's nerve—racking for staff. they're sat there on the sidelines while their employer is having a negotiation with landlords over the future of their jobs. there is a bigger issue here as well, cos we're seeing lots on the high street disappearing and that impacts on locals community and high streets like this. it's full of doom and gloom at the moment. the only shops you see now are pound shops, betting shops, food shops and charity shops. fewer and fewer shops, less and less choice for consumers. whatever happens today, a big chunk of arcadia stores will close, puncturing more holes in struggling high streets. colletta smith, bbc news. catherine shuttleworth, savvy marketing, expert in retail and shopping trends — is here.

thank you forjoining us. what is your gut feeling on how to date is going to go? it is on a knife edge and it's difficult to predict the outcome but things are not looking very positive at the moment because some of the biggest landlords involved in the cva have had enough and they are not prepared to help sir philip green out on one more occasion. why have they had enough? the problem is is what they are not seeing at the moment is any plan for that business to radically change, and this is the problem. they can cut the rents if they like but what will radically change about their business to make sure it is a long—term play on the high streets of the uk? that is what they have spent the last week trying to convince them of but of course, the same time, their competitors are saying if you cut the rents for them we wa nt saying if you cut the rents for them we want the same rent cuts for us so the landlords are in a fairly difficult position, stuck between a rock and a hard today. you are saying that arcadia group and the stores that comprise the group just haven't been as fleet of foot as the

online retailers, basically? not at all and we have seen boo—hoo results this morning, stella, 55%, some of their sales, hugely nimble and agile and shoppers like what they have to offer, and the problem with arcadia is it just hasn't offer, and the problem with arcadia is itjust hasn't kept up with that huge change in shopper demand and the way in which we are buying our clothes. it doesn't feel like it is a contemporary business that people wa nt to a contemporary business that people want to participate with. in what way has not kept up with demand, the turnover of stock, for example and keeping up with trends? topshop was the go to place on a saturday before you went out on saturday night to buy an outfit. that's not the case anymore, its pricing is out of sync with its competitors, it isn't turning over stock as quickly and sir philip green has lost his deft touch as to what the consumer wants, perhaps because he has spent more of his time out of the country than in it. if arcadia group does go, what is that going to mean for the look of the uk high street? it is a massive impact on the high street because there are so many brands

within arcadia. we tend to talk a lot about topshop but there is wallace, burton and top man and those are up—and—down every single high street, not just those are up—and—down every single high street, notjust the super high streets, the londons, leeds, and manchesters, they are in barnsley and stockton also. if they come out that will be empty space that nobody is willing to fill up so there aren't more pound shops and betting shops coming in. all of those businesses are retracting from the high street and that will mean there is loads of empty space and no plan to fill it. that brings us back to the question, would it be a bad move by the landlords not to agree to these rent decreases etc, because, who is going to take up these stores, the leases on these stores, if arcadia collapses? as i say, there nobody queueing up to take those leases on and that's one of the challenges the landlords have got, they will have to reshape their shapes on the high street, turn it back into residential space and that can't happen overnight, and that's why the landlords are locked in a difficult situation where their assets are plummeting and value. there is no winner out of what

happens today, whether the cva goes through or not. thank you very much for your time today, catherine shuttleworth. a return to politics now, and news that labour has tabled a cross—party motion to try and block a brexit no deal. the party plans to force a vote which would give mps control of the timetable on 25thjune, and if it passes, the party says mps will be able to introduce legislation on that day to avoid a no—deal scenario at the end of october. labour's shadow brexit minister is jenny chapman. very good morning to you. morning. if this goes through, you are proposing that in no way, shape or form there could be no—deal brexit with or without a vote, just no—deal brexit. that's not quite right. what we are doing today is we are going to have a vote on whether or not on the 25th of june to have a vote on whether or not on the 25th ofjune parliament can decide on how that decision is taken, so it wouldn't make it

impossible to leave without a deal, but it would mean that in order to leave without a deal, a prime minister would have to take a vote before the house of commons and get the consent of the representatives of communities from up—and—down this country in order to take what would bea country in order to take what would be a very, very... it would be a drastic move, and we just think a prime minister ought not to be able to do that without the consent of parliament. so, how confident are you that you can get this through? do you have enough conservative support, taking into account, for example, there are some labour mps who perhaps wouldn't vote with you on this? i think the vast majority of labourmps, give on this? i think the vast majority of labour mps, give or take a very small number, will vote for this because the red line for the labour party has always been we don't want to leave without a deal. you just never know with parliament. people say they will do one thing and sometimes change their minds throughout the day, you never know.

but we wouldn't be doing this if we didn't think there was a good chance of success. the reason we think that is that this has the support of mps from across parties. the labour party is leading the way on this, but also we have the support of conservative mps, from the green party, from the liberal democrats, from the nationalist parties, so it has a broad base of support and that's why i'm as confident as you ever can be, which isn't100%, but as confident as you can be that we will succeed today. i'm presuming the timing is very much designed to cut through the conservative leadership contest and the fact that some of those leadership candidates are saying they would take the uk out without a deal. the timing isn't the labour pa rty‘s out without a deal. the timing isn't the labour party's choice because the labour party's choice because the government decides when we have these opposition days, so we are just taking the first opportunity that we have had. but, yes, there is obviously great concern about what i think at least six of the contenders for the tory leadership have been saying about their willingness to ta ke saying about their willingness to take us out without a deal. i think

probably they are saying that without wishing to do any of them a disservice, is that they know they need to appeal to the base membership of the conservative party and this is the sort of rhetoric that appeals to them. so they are going to say whatever they need to say in order to win the conservative party leadership race come out and that does worry us, that certain candidates are getting themselves into that position. we take that seriously and it is a response to some of the things they have been saying but the timing isn't of our making. but we need to get this done because the 31st of october is approaching. do you think if one of those out with no deal candidates wins the conservative leadership, that in fact it makes it more likely that in fact it makes it more likely that we could be in a general election situation, which of course is very much what labour wants? well, that's possible, but that's not what it is about the day. what

it is about today's saying that if you do want to leave without a deal, then you need to have a vote in parliament in order to do that because it is a huge decision and it's not what was promised to people who voted to leave when we had the referendum. leave voters, some support living without a deal and many don't. and i think that the very least that should be done if thatis very least that should be done if that is the future prime minister's intention is that they should get the support of mps who represent all four corners of our country because it isa four corners of our country because it is a decision that would affect everybody, and they shouldn'tjust be allowed to do it without that kind of consent. ok, jenny chapman mp, thank you very much. if you have a euromillions ticket, stop what you are doing and check it now. fox macro it is the third biggest euro

millions jackpot in britain since the draw was launched. it it is an individual, you could find yourself on the same level of wealth as people like led zeppelin guitarist, jimmy page. i wonder if the person who has that ticket does not realise it. perhaps they are just in shock. let's hear what victoria derbyshire has got coming up on her programme at ten. good morning, tory leadership candidate and would—be prime minister andrea leadsom will be live in the studio at ten. your comments are welcome. we will hear the testimony of open —— of a woman who said she has been forced to sell herself for sex because she can't survive on universal credit. and why was sharif kicked out of the villa on love island? that's all at ten.

let's have a look at the weather forecast. here is matt taylor. we've had two months worth of rain in parts of eastern england with more to come. the rain is heaviest across parts of the isle of man, south—eastern northern ireland and across northern wales after that heavy rain through the night. with more downpours towards the south—east coastal counties. notice more rain coming from the continent which will push into east anglia later. rain across parts of northern england and wales not quite as heavy and persistent as it was earlier, or indeed yesterday so there will be some dry minutes. driest of all, the north—west highlands of scotland and north—west highlands of scotland and north—west northern ireland, although with a cool breeze throughout the day. more rain tonight, for the midlands, wales, eventually the south—east of scotland, causing issues into the rush hour tomorrow morning. rain across parts of scotland tomorrow

and the east of northern ireland, but more on way of dry weather between the downpours for england and wales. more in half an hour. this is bbc news at 9am, the headlines. a new plan to tackle climate change — the uk commits to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 — making it the first major nation to propose the target. borisjohnson will break his silence this morning and make his pitch to become the next conservative party leader — he'll promise to deliver brexit without delay. he is a positive, optimistic person that's not only going to deliver brexit, but also make our country more successful, more positive about the future. whirlpool is ordered to recall 500,000 tumble dryers over concerns the appliances pose a fire risk. stand—off on the streets of hong kong — protesters against an extradition bill block main roads and barricade government buildings.

the fate of sir philip green's retail empire is expected to be decided today — with a crucial vote on a plan to close shops and slash rents. white—matter time now for the morning briefing, as we offer you on the stories that people are watching, reading and sharing. the uk is promising to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 — under a new government plan to tackle climate change. it means emissions will either have to be eliminated completely — or offset by planting trees or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. britain is thought to be the first major nation to put forward such legislation — which will amend the 2008 climate change act. it is an important moment because when i was secretary of state for energy and climate change me legislated for 80% reductions in

carbon emissions by 2015. now we are taking that extra step because the science tells us that we need to go to zero emissions. if we can do it more quickly than 2050 that would be great, but let's get this in legislation and then and this is the crucial point, let's will the means as well as the ends, and what you mean by that? we got to then start making the policies to make this happen by making sure that we take petrol and diesel cars off the road far earlier than 2040, the current government target. we have got to end the moratorium on onshore winds because it is now the fuel you have. it isa because it is now the fuel you have. it is a big signal we are sending round the world. i commend the government for doing it. we have now got to get on with making it happen. a national review has been ordered into "significa nt failings" at a health trust dating back more than a decade. the ombudsman found care shortcomings by the former north essex partnership university trust in the case of two vulnerable men who died.

one of them was 20—year—old matthew leahy, who died just seven days after being admitted to the linden centre in essex in 2012. matthew's mum melanie told dan walker on bbc breakfast that she struggles now when people ask her about her memories of her son. ifind it difficult i find it difficult to remember anything other than seeing him on the trolley, not being able to touch him, soi the trolley, not being able to touch him, so i asked some friends and the memories are coming back that i have just suppressed. he was just beautiful. just like any normal child. he grew up in the marina. they used to go swimming and crabbing and we would play computer games together. as he grew up, he loved swimming, he became a lifeguard. i love them to bits. and he is not here anymore. —— i loved

him. it is hard. it must be difficult to talk to us. what you wa nted difficult to talk to us. what you wanted to speak about what you went through as a family. tell us when you started to notice a change in matthew. what happened? he was round about 19, probably 18, 19. matthew. what happened? he was round about19, probably 18, 19. kids go through their normal teenage troubles. he was doing well. he had gone to school. he had done his 11 plus poor grammar school, he had a motorbike. he started the business, he started to suffer a little bit of depression. he was getting pains in his stomach and he used to say, man, it is because i've got pains in my stomach. the next thing, he started to have hallucinations. so we asked for help. he was put under the care of north essex partnership trust.

and it alljust of north essex partnership trust. and it all just sort of north essex partnership trust. and it alljust sort of of north essex partnership trust. and it all just sort of spiralled downhill from there which ultimately endedin downhill from there which ultimately ended in the outcome that we have today, because where i thought i was going to get professional help, he wasn't in the hands of professionals. all sorts of things went wrong. we haven't got time to go through everything but things like the care plan being written after his death, there were various attem pts after his death, there were various atte m pts to after his death, there were various attempts to try and hide from you what was going on. do you welcome this review? none of this can bring your son back and repair the damage your son back and repair the damage you and your family have suffered, but does it make a difference to you that hopefully, the same mistakes will not be made again? the ombudsman has investigated things that i have known for the last 4—5 yea rs. that i have known for the last 4—5 years. i have just that i have known for the last 4—5 years. i havejust heard him talking

on bbc saying that there has been review after review, and now we are offering another review, so no, i need some action. there is so much evidence as i have been shouting all these years. things need to be changed. people have died since my son because people have not listened to me and we need a public inquiry to me and we need a public inquiry to be instigated now, not waiting for another review. the thing that has pleased me is somebody is listening to me at last, somebody is listening, but we need action because people are still under the ca re of because people are still under the care of the same setup, with a different name now, people still need care, not in a few months‘ time down the line, i don‘t know how long that review is going to take. sally morris, the chief executive of the new trust now running mental health services in north essex, says they are very sorry for the pain caused to the leahy family. the trust says it has co—operated fully with the ombudsman

and police investigations, and it will support the nhs improvements review into lessons that could be learnt. let‘s ta ke let‘s take a look at what you are reading and watching on the bbc news app. number one and the most read is that the us president inadvertently revealing some details of his immigration deal with mexico. he told reporters he would not discuss details of the plans, because they we re details of the plans, because they were secret, but you could see a piece of paper on which he had written down some of the key points of the deal and they were captured on camera. so not so secret anymore. at number one on the most watched, a sweet story, the story of kt robins who were stationed in eastern france in world war ii and fell in love with a french girl, they were separated by the war, but when he

returned to france for the d—day 75th anniversary, he showed the photograph he had of her to journalists, and they managed to find her, and there are some images and photographs he has from the time. 75 years later, and the journalists managed to reunite them. soa journalists managed to reunite them. so a lovely short film to watch, number one on the most watched at the moment on the bbc news app. that‘s it for today‘s morning briefing. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘sjohn watson. good morning. talk about laying down a marker — the united states beating thailand 13—0 to record the biggest—ever victory in the women‘s world cup. alex morgan scored five of them — these were two of her best. she equals the record for the most goals scored in a world cup match. they were 3—0 up at half—time, four goals came in 10 minutes in the second half, six more in the last

15 minutes. the holder is kicking off their campaign in some style. and that result tops the previous record, we reallyjust came into this game, really just wanted to showcase ourselves and what we have been preparing for and what we have been working on and i think we did that but every goal matters in this tournament, so that‘s what we were working on, this game, we got a lot of attacks, and i think we were really clinical in the number of attacks that we did get. on that basis, you‘ve got to feel for group opponents chile and sweden. their match halted in the second half due to a thunderstorm in rennes. but the swedes were quick to capitalise once the game resumed, winning 2—0. the netherlands found goals a little harder to come by against new zealand, the european champions getting the winner deep into injury time, much to the delight

ofjill roord, who scored it. and it‘s funny how life has a way of repeating itself. we showed you the netherlands‘ victory against new zealand. take a look at star lieke martens, using a lovely bit of skill, channeling her innerjohn cruyff. the cruyff turn, named after the greatjohann cruyff, a move he produced for the first time at the 1974 world cup. the dutch proving that footballing flair runs in the blood. here we are 45 years on, another dutch talent showcasing the move. there are three more matches in the tournament today and you can watch all the action across the bbc. nigeria play south korea as the bottom two group a sides meet in grenoble. 0lympic champions germany face spain in group b. both sides won their opening matches. and hosts france will look to take control of group a against their closest rivals norway in nice.

in the men‘s game it‘s all about european championship qualifying right now and northern ireland have had a great start. they‘ve now made it four wins from their first four games — the first time in history they‘ve managed that. they left it late in belarus but paddy mcnair was the hero, smashing in the winner with five minutes to go. northern ireland top group c but still have to play germany and the netherlands. they will be pleased to have points on the board, early. world number one—ranked side belgium had too much for scotland in brussels. manchester united striker romelu lukaku scored twice before manchester city‘s kevin de bruyne added a third late on. scotland are fourth in group i. there was a major blow for wales as they look to reach their second straight european championships. gareth bale missed a glorious chance to give them the lead in hungary, but moments later the home side got the game‘s only goal

to go top of group e. it means wales have two defeats from their first three matches, and the semi—finalists at euro 2016 may not even make it to euro 2020. those three matches are featured in the sports pages of today‘s papers. the daily mirror features them at the top of its back page and picks up on the fact that frank lampard was seen out for lunch with old chelsea teammate didier drogba in london yesterday. it‘s sparked rumours that the club could be lining lampard up to replace maurizio sarri if the italian returns home to manage juventus. the express carries the same story and features a picture of liverpool‘s mo salah showing off an impressive catch while on holiday. the paper also reports that manchester city manager pep guardiola is planning another break from football after being left "shattered" by city‘s treble winning season. there‘s no suggestion that guardiola

will quit this summer though. the guardian features the usa‘ 13—0 thrashing in the women‘s world cup, while england‘s fran kirby admits that var could be exploited by some players to try and win penalties. 800m runner caster semenya‘s suggested she may race over a different distance after competing for the first time since appealing against rules forcing her to take testosterone—suppressing drugs. the ruling only affects women competing from 400m to a mile, the south african won this race which was run over a longer 2000m. the swiss federal supreme court has suspended the iaaf‘s ruling, which allows her to temporarily compete without taking testosterone—reducing medication. i‘m not worried about anything else. so you don‘t worry about that memo.

i have won everything i have ever wa nted i have won everything i have ever wanted so if i was to change it even, of course, why not? suggesting that she may well do just that. you can get all the latest stories today in sportsday at 6:30pm. that‘s all the sport for now. more from the bbc sport centre at 11:15. the headlines. and you plan to tackle climate change, with reducers down to zero by 2050, making the uk the first major nation to propose the first major nation to propose the target. borisjohnson will break his silence this morning and make his silence this morning and make his pitch to become the next conservative party leader. he will promise to deliver brexit without delay. thousands of tumble dryers

have been recalled over concerns that the appliances by whirlpool pose a fire risk. the uk‘s first 5g mobile service is up and running — designed to offer much faster connection speeds than 4g — but one town in south—west england is rejecting it. glastonbury town council has voted to fight the roll—out because of health concerns. matthew hill has been to find out more. final preparations are under way here at the glastonbury festival including 5g for better communications around the sprawling site. but people in the town of glastonbury are concerned. the town council passed a motion last night to oppose 5g. 5g uses high—frequency radio waves to carry more data, much higherfrequencies than current mobile quality. it will need thousands of transmitters, almost street by

street in big cities. the effects of the technology are yet to be tested although governments and scientists consider the risk very low. there are thousands of papers in scientificjournals based on all of that research we are confident that it can be regarded as safe. this research group in switzerland which has received some funding from the mobile phone industry also has concerns. in hospitals, mri scanners have tougher standards for radio waves than mobile phone networks. they have published disputed claims that 5g mobile phones, if used to the full power limit allow by current standards, could cause harm if they are placed next to people‘s heads. even if you stick to the limits you can behave completely in adherence with the limits and still get a localised high intensity radiation that would increase the tissue temperature to a level that is not considered safe in other standards. this doctor helps advise the

government on mobile phone safety. while he does not think it is likely 5g is dangerous he does think more research is needed. discussions are not settled on this. there may be an increased cancer risk from current mobile networks. the 5g will come on top of that and has a high frequency so that will increase people‘s exposure. we don‘t really know whether that has any additional effects to what may be already, if anything. in a statement, the industry body told us that research into the safety of radio signals has been conducted for more than 50 years. despite these reassurances, these campaigners are not convinced.

they are setting up a working group to look into 5g safety. let‘s return to the situation in hong kong, where protests are continuing about an extradition bill which could see people being sent to mainland china for trial. the authorities there, announcing that a second reading of the bill has been delayed. 0ur hong kong reporter is martin yip. what is the situation on the streets right now and has there been any further reaction from the authorities to these protest?” been any further reaction from the authorities to these protest? i can tell you by telling you about the election commissioner meeting the president, he has labelled this as riots, he has denounced them and asked them to stop, but there is no, nothing at all that the government

seems to be willing to back down to withdraw the bill. 0n the street, you can literally see protesters and riot police chasing each other. protesters throwing different objects, mainly bricks that they have picked up from a nearby pedestrian pavement, which is a brand—new one that opened less than a year ago. and then all sorts of missiles. so it is quite like what we have seen almost exactly five yea rs we have seen almost exactly five years ago during the umbrella movement organise protest. the police saying they are prepared to use further force beyond the tear gas and pepper spray currently being used against the demonstrators. are those protesters taking any encouragement from the fact that the second reading of this extradition bill has been delayed? there is no way to tell at this stage, but in theory, you might think, as they

have managed to delay the second reading of the bill, 0k, they have gained some ground, they have their jubilation and might back down for a bit, but they have chosen to storm the legislative council building, we don‘t quite know why. they also want to expose those behind this process, the difference between this one, you cannot find a clear leader who is leading this but it seems that all of these protesters, i was there just a few hours ago, very young people, they might know —— might not know each other but they are quite organised, they look quite organised and quite militant. martin in hong kong, thank you for that update. we area kong, thank you for that update. we are a long way from the next presidential election in the us but the insults are flying. donald trump has described joe biden, one of the leading democratic nomination is, as a dummy, and joe biden has said that

donald trump is damaging the presidency. joe biden is a dummy! he because people do names he calls them. he is a loser. stop talking like that for god sake. i call him 196 like that for god sake. i call him 1%joe like that for god sake. i call him 1% joe because like that for god sake. i call him 1%joe because until barack 0bama came along, he didn‘t do very well. i would rather run againstjoe biden than anyone because he is the wea kest than anyone because he is the weakest mentally, is the up here. this is a guy who does everything to separate and fragment people. the man has mentioned my name 76 times, thatis,it man has mentioned my name 76 times, that is, it means that he‘s in trouble. he is a different guy, he looks different, he acts different than he used to. he is even slower than he used to. he is even slower than he used to. he is even slower than he used to be. it is bizarre and it has damaged, so he is

generally a threat to our core values. when he mentions my name that many times i guess i should be complemented. will expect more than that. tapes from the session were allegedly stolen last week. radiohead have scuppered a blackmail attempt by releasing 18 hours of previously unheard music recorded during the making of their classic album ‘ok computer‘. tapes from the sessions were allegedly stolen last week, with hackers demanding nearly £120,000 pounds for their return. instead, the band released the songs in full, with profits going to the climate change activists ‘extinction rebellion‘. the american tv host, jon stewart, has delivered an emotional speech to us congress over its treatment of first responders and survivors of the 9/11 attacks. a fund set up to provide financial support is due to run out next year. at the hearing, he accused politicians of failing to do theirjobs properly, berating those who hadn‘t bothered to turn up. behind me, a filled room of 9/11

first responders and in front of me a nearly empty congress. sick and dying, they brought themselves down here to speak, to know one. they did theirjobs. with courage, grace, tenacity, humility. 18 years later, do yours! jon stewart. time now for a look at the weather with simon king. good morning, everyone. we've had a lot of rainfall over the last 24-48 had a lot of rainfall over the last 24—48 hours or so. we‘ve had this area of low pressure that has been across the continent with these weather fronts across the uk bringing heavy rain. about a month‘s

worth of rain, two months worth of rain in parts of lincolnshire and the south—east. satellite imagery shows quite a of cloud. this cloud streaming in from the near continent. that will bring more rain later today. for many, continent. that will bring more rain latertoday. for many, quite continent. that will bring more rain later today. for many, quite a great start with some patchy rain. the patchy rain across northern and western england and wales will continue to ease off. still some rain at times for eastern scotland, the north—east of england, the north—east of northern ireland, but later this afternoon, we will see thunderstorms working their way into the south—east of england. some heavy, torrential downpours expected here later on. meanwhile, heavy rain moving back into was east anglia towards lincolnshire. to the north and west, drier, some patchy rain across northern and eastern areas. some sunshine for the west of scotla nd some sunshine for the west of scotland and western northern ireland, another brisk, north—easterly wind, maximum temperatures getting up to 12—16. this area of rain will continue to move north and west tonight with

some heavy spells of rain. that intensifies across the north—east of england, south—east scotland, with heavy rain through the night. 0vernight temperatures down to around 9—11 celsius. tomorrow starts off wet for many. that rain will tend to ease off but then there will be showers across england and wales and some of those could be on the heavy side once again. drier towards western scotland and northern ireland. top temperatures on thursday about 12 — 17 celsius. things looking dry on friday. the low pressure still in charge so remaining unsettled, but we will see less rain compared to the last few days. some showers moving through from west to east, but in between, dry spells with sunshine breaking through between those showers, and temperatures are starting to rise a little bit, 19 and the south—east of england, 13—16 elsewhere and into the weekend, it should be a bit

drier, still. some rain moving from west to east through saturday night into sunday, but as you can see, there is some sunshine around and temperatures are on the rise, about 16-19 temperatures are on the rise, about 16—19 celsius, goodbye.

hello it‘s wednesday, it‘s 10 o‘clock, i‘m victoria derbyshire. good morning. a new pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions to almost zero in the uk by 2050 is being made by the government. is it possible? this former labour energy secretary says yes. it is a massive undertaking changing the way we heat 27 million homes, taking 40 million petrol and diesel cars off the road, changing the ways we use our land. i think the fundamental thing i believe, though, is that this can create a better life for people. the front runner to become britain‘s next prime minister, borisjohnson, is launching his tory leadership campaign in an hour. in a moment, we‘ll be talking live to another candiate who wants the top job — andrea leadsom. how can she beat mrjohnson? and we‘ll hear exclusively from a woman who says she was forced
