good afternoon. following huge protests, the leader of hong kong has suspended plans to introduce a new law that would allow extraditions to mainland china. the proposals have prompted big demonstrations, including one last sunday where organisers said more than a million people took part. our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell, reports from hong kong. the report contains some flashing images. the large demonstrations days ago turned into running street battles with the police. it would prove the

turning point in this stand—off. the hong kong government has been forced to concede that its controversial extradition bill has prompted ill will and division. and the announcement came that it would be shelved, at least for the time being. i now announced that the government has decided to disband —— to suspend the legislative amendment. we start communication with all sectors of society, do more exploration work and listen to different views. a vast array of opposition groups means the extradition bill means facing mainline chinese courts controlled by the communist party, which can't guarantee a fair trial, and they say carrie lam ultimately still it introduced. translation: hong kong people won't be cheated by the temporary suspension and carrie lam's comments only make us more angry. the city

enjoys freedoms guaranteed when the former british colony was handed back to china for the up the key pa rt back to china for the up the key part of that is having an independent judiciary, part of that is having an independentjudiciary, which is why, for many people, the fight against extradition is a fight for everything this place stands for, and it's why they say they won't give up until the extradition proposal has gone for ever. protests planned for tomorrow will go ahead, with some calling for carrie lam to resign. the government hasn't given up resign. the government hasn't given up yet, so i think we still have to fight for what we want, because this is not the end. to many, this bill may provide a truce for now, but with both sides digging in this relief of pressure could also only be temporary. more homes are being evacuated following severe flooding in lincolnshire. residents in nearly 300 properties in wainfleet will be moved over concerns about flood defences on the river steeping.

the town flooded this week after two months‘ worth of rain fell in two days and the river burst its bank. the environment agency said water levels remain high. exam board edexcel has launched an investigation into how part of an a—level maths paper was leaked online. blacked—out images of two questions were shared on social media ahead of the exam yesterday. pearson, which runs edexcel, said the images were circulated "in a very limited way". it reassured students no—one would be advantaged or disadvantaged and they would not have to resit the paper. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranianjailed in iran, has begun a new hunger strike in protest against her imprisonment. her husband, back in the uk, also plans tojoin her on hunger strike. the mother—of—one has been detained for the past three years after being accused of spying by the iranian authorities — a charge she strongly denies —

and sentenced to five years in jail. it comes at a time of high tension in the region. the us military released video footage yesterday which it said proved iran was behind thursday's attacks on two oil tankers — something iran has categorically denied. the foreign secretary is in central london at a meeting of some of the conservative leadership contenders, and our political correspondent nick eardley is there. and nick, the foreign secretary has been responding to this yes, this case has been at the heart of some of the tensions between the uk and iran in the last few years. this morning, foreign secretary jeremy hunt was with her husband, richard, and was tweeting a message to the regime saying, show the world humanity and let this innocent woman go home. so far, these messages from the uk government have fallen on deaf ears, and at the same time

there is a furious row going on at home over the role of the iranian regime in those attacks on oil tankers in the gulf of oman. the us has said it believes the iran is responsible and the uk says that is where the evidence points, but jeremy corbyn, the labour leader, said he didn't think there had been enough evidence and labour is calling for more of an assessment of what took place. that prompted the foreign secretary to respond, calling mr corbyn pathetic and predictable, but it shows that, even in the row with iran, nothing is simple. the health secretary, matt hancock, has ordered what he called a root—and—branch review of hospital food, after two more patient deaths were linked to a listeria outbreak. a total of five people are now known to have died. production has been halted of the sandwiches and salads thought to have caused the outbreak. leigh milner reports. five people have now died after eating hospital sandwiches and salads containing listeria.

two lost their lives here at the manchester royal infirmary, another at aintree hospital. it's not yet been revealed where the other two patients died, but public health england has confirmed that seven trusts across the country have been affected. the food standards agency ourself are trying to identify how this could have got in to the food chain. that is going to take some time to do. but what we have done is taken steps to make sure that the product is no longer distributed and therefore the public and the nhs patients are safe. the health secretary, matt hancock, has now called for a review of nhs food. in a statement, he said... listeria typically causes mild food poisoning, but can prove fatal if people are already seriously ill. the first patient affected showed

symptoms on the 25th of april. suspect salads and sandwiches were withdrawn on the 25th of may. public health england first warned about the outbreak on the 7th ofjune. the good food chain, which is being linked to the outbreak, has since voluntarily ceased production. as investigations continue, public health england insist any risk to the public remains low. leigh milner, bbc news. the italian film and opera director franco zeffirelli has died at the age of 96. the anglophile, who was perhaps best known for his adaptations of shakespeare's works, including romeo and juliet, is reported to have died peacefully after a long illness. with all the sport now, here's mike bushell at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. england's women are already looking forward to the knock—out phase of the world cup, having qualified from the group stage with a game to spare. however, scotland's hopes ofjoining them are hanging by a thread after defeat to japan. katie gornall reports from le havre,

where england beat argentina. i think england will be reflecting on last night's game here, feeling pleased that they managed to get the job done, because there were all the ingredients for it to be a very frustrating evening. argentina are resilient and they'd taken a point ofjapan, resilient and they'd taken a point of japan, they defend resilient and they'd taken a point ofjapan, they defend low resilient and they'd taken a point of japan, they defend low and physical, and in this game their goalkeeper had the game of her life. she saved a penalty in the first half. but england were patient and kept going and in the end jodie taylor finished off a slick move on the left, her first goal in 14 months and enough to get england through with a game to spare. now they go to nice, where they will play japan and, if they get they go to nice, where they will playjapan and, if they get a they go to nice, where they will play japan and, if they get a result there, they can top the group and get a more favourable route into the last 16. for scotland, the situation isa last 16. for scotland, the situation is a lot more desperate after they lost 2—1 to japan. yet again, they

left it too late, lana collins's goal in the 80th minute, and defensively slippy for them they will need to tighten up for their final do or die game against argentina, which they have to win to stand any chance of going through is one of the best third placed teams. england'sjustin rose is still very much in contention at the us open, but he trails gary woodland by two shots at the halfway stage. woodland shot a bogey—free 65 to reach nine under and the top of the leaderboard. rose, who began the day with a one—shot lead, carded a one—under 70, to move to seven—under overall at pebble beach. rory mcilroy, who is chasing his first major for five years, is still in the mix. his 69 moved him to five—under, one ahead of brooks kepka, who is chasing a third successive title. there is a long way to go, and yeah, here and st andrews are the two probably most iconic places to lift a bit of silverware, i couldn't think of anything better. but, if you don't mind, i'm just going to wait a couple of days. two of the more fancied teams

at the cricket world cup, are playing each other at the oval. for sri lanka, it wasjust a relief to be playing after their last two matches fell victim to the weather. they won the toss and put australia in to bat, but had to be patient for the first wicket, with 80 runs on the board before dhananjaya de silva bowled david warnerfor 26. and it was the same bowler who claimed the wicket of usman khawaja 20 runs later, as isuru udana took the catch. but the real story of this match so far has been the batting masterclass of australain captain aaron finch, unbeaten on 123, and it's helped his side reach 219—2 in the 39th over. scans have now shown that chris froome also sustained a small fracture to his neck in the crash this week that ruled him out of the tour de france. the team ineos cyclist underwent a successful six—hour operation on wednesday night after breaking a leg, elbow and ribs when he ploughed into a wall during a training ride. he may now have to stay in hospital for the next six weeks while his injuries begin to heal. tyson fury returns to the ring in las vegas in the early hours of tomorrow morning

against german tom schwarz. the weigh—in took place last night as the former heavyweight champion continues his return to boxing, after having two years out with mental health and drugs problems. fury is the favourite, but he has said, "i am not sold that it will be as easy as people think." there is more on the bbc sport website, including the latest on that cricket from the oval, with australia on course for a big score against sri lanka. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 4:40pm. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel. it's 13:11pm.

more now on news that a comprehensive review of hospital food has been ordered by the health secretary, matt hancock, in response to the deaths of five patients who contracted listeria. seven nhs trusts have been affected by the outbreak, which has been linked to pre—packed sandwiches and salads. public health england said the wider risk to the public remains low. a little earlier, i spoke to dr nick phin, the deputy director of the national infection service at public health england... we have detected nine people we can link to this incident. that covers seven trusts. do you know exactly how this infection has originated 7 what do you know whether it is the responsibility of the company or the hospitals? in public health england, our role is around detecting and advising and managing incidents and outbreaks.

we have got a fairly advanced technique of sequencing which is almost like genetic fingerprinting. we detected three patients with identical strains of listeria. so therefore they had to be linked. as we started to accumulate that evidence and gather the histories of what they had eaten, it all pointed to one company. we then had samples taken from that company and were able to link some of the products with the patients, therefore, giving a very good link and identifying the cause of the incident. we are fairly confident that we have identified it and are working with the fsa local authorities, steps have been taken to stop production, that this issue is no longer. can you tell us what the foodstuff is and how it has become contaminated or infected? these are products that were used as part of the sandwiches. at the moment, the food standards

agency and ourselves are trying to identify how this could have got into the food chain. that is going to take some time to do, but what we have done is taken steps to make sure the product is no longer distributed. therefore, the public and nhs patients are safe. what you are saying is, as i understand it, this was the responsibility at source of the production of the sandwiches, not in terms of how they were handled subsequently? everything points to the fact that there was some form of contamination in the products used by the company. that is obviously something we are investigating further with the fsa and local authorities. in terms of the message

to the public now, people who are in hospital, have got family in hospital and are worried about eating the food they are being served, can the public be sure that it is safe? it is as safe as it can be because we very quickly identified this, on the 25th of may the products were withdrawn. we have now been running for over two weeks and we have not seen any new cases since then. that is very encouraging. one of the things we have to be aware of is that listeria has a long incubation period. we would have expected most cases to have appeared by now. all i can say is that having taken the product off the market, people can have confidence that there is no longer a risk from that source. i know you are being careful not to identify the exact location of these outbreaks, but can you give us a rough area, a region where these cases have appeared ? these cases have

been across england. they have mapped the distribution of the sandwiches that were provided. two teenagers have been killed in london in separate attacks within minutes of each other. police are investigating after one was stabbed in wandsworth shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and another was shot in plumstead. police have made arrests in connection with each death. a huge cannabis factory has been discovered inside a disused bingo hall in kettering. police raided the building in the centre of town and found around 2,000 plants, and a sophisticated hydro—ponics system to water the plants. they saids the factory could produce drugs with a street value of nearly £2 million a year. what has surprised me is just how

criminally audacious this particular setup has been. it's in the middle ofa setup has been. it's in the middle of a town centre location. normally you get these in industrial warehouses and other more isolated locations, but this is quite sophisticated setup. as we've been hearing — the italian film and opera director franco zeffirelli has died at the age of 96. in a career which spanned over 60 years some of his best known work included the taming of the shrew starring elizabeth taylor and richard burton and hamlet with mel gibson and glenn close. lizo mzimba looks back at his life. operatic music franco zeffirelli made his name as an opera director, on stage and occasionally on—screen. oprah taught him how to deal with highly strong and highly talented performers. him how to deal with highly strong and highly talented performersm isa simple and highly talented performersm is a simple as that, holding their hands. really dealing with their

evil people. really charming little kids. —— really vulnerable people. they can't believe their luck and they are afraid. his experience proved useful when he made a film with a famously temperamental couple, richard burton and elizabeth taylor. his film version of romeo and juliet was nominated for an oscar but was controversial. olivia hussey, then just 15, appeared topless. franco zeffirelli, who started out as a stage and screen designer, was sometimes attacked for self—indulgence and sentimentality. butjesus of self—indulgence and sentimentality. but jesus of nazareth self—indulgence and sentimentality. butjesus of nazareth made for television showed a different and more austere side to his work.“

television showed a different and more austere side to his work. if my kingdom were of this world, my followers would have fought to prevent me from being captured. into thousand and four he was given an honorary knighthood. he had always been an anglophile. in terms of the country, i would like to see it married with my country. to make this marriage happen with my work. such a traditional honour meant a lot to a director renowned for his love of formality, opulence and beauty. people from black, asian and other minority ethnic communities are more at risk of developing some cancers and other life limiting illnesses, such as kidney failure and type two diabetes. they're also less likely to access, or be offered, hospice care services and now a new government—funded study aims to increase take—up rates across england. our community affairs correspondent,

adina campbell can explain. are you comfortable? retired businessman dale was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma 2.5 years ago. pa rt stage four lymphoma 2.5 years ago. part of his celtic planning includes coming here to his local hospice in luton. a service he and many others wouldn't normally consider. —— health care planning. the concept the asian community have of hospice isa the asian community have of hospice is a place you go to die. i didn't wa nt to is a place you go to die. i didn't want to come here, there was a certain nurse at the health centre, she said, just try it. and then come and tell me. i'm so grateful that i came, and it's made my life a lot more comfortable. a new 2.5 year study, the first of its kind in the

uk, will now look at the improvements needed to encourage more people from asian, black and other minority groups accessing this type of care, using more than £400,000 of government funding. there has been quite a lot of relatively, —— relatively quite a lot of research about establishing that people from minority ethnic communities that are disadvantaged and the end—of—life, there's not a lot about what those disadvantages look like. in terms of health outcomes. there are many reasons for a low take—up of hospice care services by these communities. including cultural, language and religious differences. and often families take on the full responsibility of caring themselves. but some doctors are also unlikely to recommend this kind of support in the first place. because of a lack of understanding or fear they may cause offence. the uk is set to

become one of the world's most ethnically diverse countries over the next 30 years or so. take leicester, for example, and this busy cosmopolitan high street. we hear all the time about the pressures of an ageing population. but there's also an increasing need to ensure our carriage services also reflect a nd to ensure our carriage services also reflect and survey wide range of cultural groups. these women in birmingham were brought together through a hospice service which carried for them and their children before they died. i didn't know what i hospice was, i didn't have understanding because i had a child before he passed away, whose life was mostly spent in children's hospital. the quality of life of one individual is so important to embrace, that we need to look at community resources. we learn a lot and now we try to give other people information. the results of the new study will be published in 2021. researchers say it will help develop real change for ethnic minority

groups all over the uk. with specialist training for those working in our care services. tens of thousands of cricket fans are converging on manchester this weekend as india take on pakistan in the world cup. both sides have large british fan—bases and there were half a million ticket applications for the match, meaning old trafford which has a capacity of 25,000, could have been sold out 20 times over. the game is expected to attract a worldwide audience of over half a billion — making it one of the biggest sporting events of the year. secunder kermani has been speaking to some of the many pakistanis who will be watching the game. there were tears as pakistan took on australia earlier this week. there were cheers as pakistan took on australia earlier this week. but the night ended in disappointment for these fans in islamabad as their team narrowly lost. the passion inspired by matches against india, though, is on another level.

is it a big deal to beat india? it's a pretty big deal, and notjust because it's india versus pakistan, but because, you know, like, real madrid versus barcelona, it's sport rivalry so that makes it very exciting as well. sunday's game will be the first between the neighbours since a conflict in february that saw pakistan shoot down and capture an indian pilot. i'm sorry. i'm not supposed to tell you that, sir. this advert, spoofing his interrogation video in which he politely refused to answer questions, whilst sipping tea, has attracted both laughs and some criticism. you can leave now. 0k, sir. for most fans, though, cricket is a rare opportunity to unite the two nations. i think primarily we have the same culture and i think cricket can be

used as a bridge between the two countries, for peace and for stability throughout the subcontinent. i think irrespective of who wins, at the end of the day, a good game and peace is what matters most. pakistan—india games have at times produced some of cricket's greatest moments. players know tens of millions will be watching. there's a massive amount of pressure, and now that india—pakistan games don't happen so frequently, there's more pressure. i feel someone who is in good form would probably be looking forward to doing well against india, because if you do well against india, you could be a hero overnight. on sunday, grounds like this will be deserted. because of tensions between the two countries, it has been years since pakistan and india have been able to play against each other in front of a home crowd. cricket fans will hope that can change some day soon.

time for a look at the weather with philip avery hello. if you think india and pakistan are under pressure, try being a weatherman after thejune we have had thus far. still some rain in the forecast, not with the sort of intensity we have seen but probably fairly unwelcome given it is the weekend. some sunshine in the forecast, the mixed livered by this low pressure. even as we take a look at the week ahead, that low pressure is still dominant for the next few days. pretty leaden skies in some locations. this was quite a east, london earlier on today. that was quite farfrom the main london earlier on today. that was quite far from the main weather action of the morning which was further towards the west. a lot of rain across the eastern half of

northern ireland, western scotland. a rain band working showery bursts further towards the east. if you have had a dry day thus far, at some point east of the pennines, east anglia, the south—east, you will see some rain. clearing overnight for northern parts of scotland. returning to the south—west and wales to start the new day. showery bursts, not a particularly cold start. but that is the setup. this time the pressure chart showing the low pressure towards the west, that is the unsettled driver of the weather. the showers being enhanced every $0 weather. the showers being enhanced every so often as these bands of weather work their way around the southern and eastern flanks of that low pressure. not bad to start the day. the shower is largely confined to the south—western quarter. close to the south—western quarter. close to that low pressure for scotland and northern ireland. through the course of the day those showers will drift further towards the and east. a noticeable breeze urging the showers along further to the north

and east. top temperature on a par with today, 20 degrees or so. as far ahead as monday, it is still close to that area of low pressure towards the west of the british isles. scotla nd the west of the british isles. scotland on northern ireland seeing the bulk of the weather. to the south, if their amount of cloud but where it breaks, you will feel a degree or more where it breaks, you will feel a degree 01’ more upon where it breaks, you will feel a degree or more upon the temperatures, more warmth there. we continue that trend across the south—eastern quarter to see the temperatures max somewhere around tuesday, wednesday at 2a or possibly 25. further north and west, still close to that low pressure, that is where we will see the bulk of the hefty showers. no real signs of summer hefty showers. no real signs of summer but tuesday is not bad for the time of year. see you later.
