the exam board edexcel has launched this is bbc news. an investigation into how i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at six. part of an a—level maths paper was leaked online. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, blacked out images of two questions the british—iranianjailed in iran — were shared on social media, begins a new hunger strike ahead of the exam yesterday. in protest against her imprisonment. foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, pearson, which runs edexcel, said the images were circulated urges iran to ‘do the right thing'. in a very limited way, and that pupils would not have hundreds more people are urged to re—sit the paper. to leave their homes in lincolnshire harry wright, from henley on thames, because of flooding, brought on by heavy rain. sat the exam yesterday. police are investigating after 3 people were killed in separate attacks in london in the last 2a hours. a mass is held at notre dame i put iput in iputina cathedral — for the first time i put in a lot of work. i did not since a fire destroyed the roof see the questions beforehand. i feel and spire two months ago. iam not see the questions beforehand. i feel i am not that good at the kind of paper that came up yesterday. i and four—time tour de france winner — chris froome posts this picture from his hospital bed — enjoyed the paper yesterday but and says he's fully focused on getting back to his best coming out of the exam and looking after his high—speed crash on wednesday. at twitter and people talking about

its being leaked beforehand took the wind out of my sails. edexcel, or pearson, have responded saying nobody is at advantage or disadvantage. i cannot believe that is true. it was such a wide scale, anybody could access it with £70 nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranianjailed in iran — online. it is really hard. i think has begun a new hunger strike — in protest against her imprisonment. her husband, back in the uk, they are limiting the scope. carry also plans tojoin her on hunger strike. the mother—of—one, has been detained for the past 3 years — on. ifeel like the after being accused of spying by the iranian authorities — a charge she strongly denies — and sentenced to 5 years in jail. they are limiting the scope. carry on. i feel like the advantage or disadvantage is very hard when you our correspondent are doing something like means andy moore is following the story for us. testing, it is hard to find that her daughter gabriella is in iran balance when it is hard to know the staying with her parents. exact number of people that had seen she has just recently this paper beforehand. do you know celebrated her fifth birthday and she said that if she was still in prison with her anybody that is admitted to this daughter was five she would

go on hunger strike. so there was an event outside going on in the build—up?m anybody that is admitted to this going on in the build-up? ifi am the iranian embassy in the uk today and her husband said being honest, ifi going on in the build-up? ifi am being honest, if i looked on twitter he was going to get an join that the night before and saw there was rumours about the paper being leaked hunger strike and be out so that embassy not taking any food, just water and until his wife came off of her beforehand, personally i did not strike. believe it, i talked to my friends, none of us saw the paper because we i think we may be able to hear thought it would be a scam, when you what he said a few hours ago. i had had some wind and that her brother was a landmark in that she look down on it, people knew it was would do something and i said happening, if we knew why were to the foreign office, i think she might have a hunger edexcel not looking at that before strike and we will be hand and saying there were two lucky if we get to the end of june without one. questions. would you like to reset a on the phone and so previous phone calls she'd been quite tense and stressed and angry fresh paper so it is all fair and and, you know, distraught. square? if it comes down to it that she was actually quite calm and made the is something that needs to be done decision and said she said to her letter to the judiciary. and then she was yes kind of nervous. because it is all about how you do and we will see how things go. at that subject unrealistically those people had an unfair advantage the hunger strike for you, over us. i know they are saying no

how may that last? completely unknown advantage but clearly they were, territory, i have no idea. i'm glad i've had my breakfast they had seen the paper. if it comes before this started. down to it we should have the resit of the paper. i know edexcel say we will see. obviously it could be a day can be they do not want that to happen but could be three days or ten days and hopefully i think that is something that may need to happen. that was an a-level not much longer. we will take it one day at a time. student talking to us earlier. she she has been on hunger strike before earlier this year and she said she wanted medical treatment so she wanted hunger tens of thousands of cricket fans strike briefly. are converging on manchester this weekend as india take on pakistan in the world cup. both sides have large british richard has not been a hunger fan—bases and there were half a million ticket applications strike before but he says he will be outside the embassy for the match, meaning old trafford which has a capacity of 25,000, camping overnight until his wife could have been sold out 20 times over. ends her strike or there were cheers as pakistan took until she is released. on australia earlier this week. saudi arabia has called for swift action to secure but the night ended in disappointment for these fans in islamabad gulf energy supplies, after the united states blamed iran as their team narrowly lost. for attacks on two oil tankers earlier this week. the passion inspired by matches the tankers were transporting oil against india, though, is on another level. is it a big deal to beat india? through the vital gulf it‘s a pretty big deal, of oman shipping route.

and notjust because it‘s india versus pakistan, the us has released video footage it but because, you know, like, says shows an iranian military ship real madrid versus barcelona, it‘s sport rivalry so that makes it very exciting as well. removing an unexploded mine from the side of one of the tankers — proof, it says, sunday‘s game will be the first between the neighbours that iran was behind the bombings. tehran denies involvement. since a conflict in february that saw pakistan shoot down and capture an indian pilot. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has said that iran is ‘almost certainly‘ i'm sorry. responsible for the attacks, i'm not supposed to but labour's leader, jeremy corbyn, says britain should tell you that, sir. act to ease tensions — rather than fuel a military this advert, spoofing his interrogation video in which he politely refused to answer questions, escalation in the region. whilst sipping tea, has attracted both laughs and some criticism. you can leave now. let's get more on this now ok, sir. with fawaz gerges, who's professor of international relations at the london school of economics. thank you for coming in. all talk at the moment on this evidence that the for most fans, though, cricket is a rare opportunity to unite the two nations. us has posted, what do you make of this? the first thing i would say despite the evidence presented by the trump administration, there are i think primarily we have the same culture and i think cricket can be

no fingerprints on that. there is no used as a bridge between the two countries, for peace and for stability throughout smoking gun or dna evidence. in fact the subcontinent. the evidence presented so far will i think irrespective of who wins, at the end of the day, a good game and peace not stand it an american courtroom. is what matters most. we need more material evidence. iran pakistan—india games have at times produced some of cricket‘s greatest moments. continues to deny the involvement players know tens of even of the us has already invited your iranfor millions will be watching. even of the us has already invited your iran for the attacks against there‘s a massive amount the ships and now the attacks in the of pressure, and now that india—pakistan games don‘t happen so frequently, there‘s more pressure. gulf. regardless, my take on it is i i feel someone who is in good form would not be surprised if they had would probably be looking forward to doing well against india, carried out the attacks. it has the because if you do well against india, you could motivation and the most to gain. its be a hero overnight. on sunday, grounds like this will be deserted. economy is leading and trying to push out there power and flex their but because of tensions between muscles and send messages to the the two countries, it has been years world that they can disrupt the oil since pakistan and india have been able to play against each other in front of a home crowd. supply. so far there's no ironclad cricket fans will hope that can change some day soon. evidence. yet we have this time for a look at the weather

heightened situation with the with alina jenkins. tensions and sabre rattling. what is 0na day on a day when there has been behind this, what kicked all of this frequent showers and longer spells off? the first things we need to ask ourselves for our viewers is where of rain, this is one of the places we talking about the likelihood of war in the gulf? one of the most that manage to see sunshine. 0ther important strategic regions in the places, rain. showers merging to world ? important strategic regions in the world? why are we talking about the attacks against the tankers in may give a longer spell of rain in the and what is the context? the context north of england. frequent showers was that the president, this is not about politics, the unilaterally the across northern ireland, northern president basically cancelled the and western scotland. that will international agreement signed by continue across western scotland his predecessor, president barack overnight. elsewhere across england, wales and northern ireland they will obama, and six great powers on his tend to trade. some clear skies own. even though against the advice elsewhere. temperatures typically of his defence department and his intelligence community. and the nuclear watchdog that basically said between six and nine celsius. and certified that iran was sunday, high pressure is tantalisingly close but we still

have the influence of this area of respecting their obligations. as an low pressure and another frontal system working its way north which observer, if i was an iranian leader will introduce more showers across now i would do everything to disrupt england and is, some thundery, more the status quo. how? by carrying out showers in northern ireland and western and northern scotland. parts of east anglia and south—east england seeing more in the way of a calculated, dangerous escalation. my sunshine through the afternoon. some a calculated, dangerous escalation. my take on it, even though, i hope are gusty winds associated with those showers. thunder in the my viewers don't take what i say heavier ones. we will keep those seriously, if i were sitting in the decision—making process i would say look, we are leading. donald trump showers going as we go through the isa evening and overnight. they will look, we are leading. donald trump is a disrupter. how can we change tend to fade but some will linger the status quo because the status quo is untenable from their point of across north—west england into northern ireland and parts of view. is it donald trump that western scotland. monday, this area matters, or the actions of the of pressure to the north—west of the pentagon? who really is making the decisions here? the decision to pull uk keeping the showers close by across much of scotland and northern ireland. there will still be showers out of the nuclear deal was donald on monday in parts of wales and trump. against the advice of the north—west england. further south

and east mainly dry with spells of american institutions including the defence department, the state sunshine. some of the showers for department and the intelligence scotla nd sunshine. some of the showers for scotland and northern ireland on community. hear what you have, let's monday will be heavy and thundery, complicate the picture a bit. even and slow—moving. it looks like many though some of the people around donald trump in particular in the white house are hardliners like his national security adviser and the of us will see a respite on tuesday, secretary of state, donald trump some spells of sunshine, a few does not want war. he does not want showers scattered around. heavy rain war because it clashes with his overnight into wednesday. america first doctrine. it clashes with his plan to reelect himself so he has balked himself in. clearly yesterday, saudi arabia sounded pretty cautious in their reaction to what had ta ken pretty cautious in their reaction to what had taken place and yet today we are hearing not directly pointing a finger of blame at iran but this is bbc news. certainly saying there must be a the headlines at seven. rapid and decisive response to the hundreds more people are urged to leave their homes in lincolnshire threat of energy supply. saudi because of flooding, arabia is a key ally to the us in

the region. how concern is that that brought on by heavy rain. they are calling for a rapid and going around to people knocking on decisive response? what does that the door and then they drop the translate into? what some of the sandbags, just basically helping people and doing what we can do. allies want is to deter iran. they nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranianjailed in iran — begins a new hunger strike wa nt to in protest against her imprisonment. allies want is to deter iran. they want to cut the wings of iran and her husband gives his full backing. preserve the passageway. remember, you have about 15 at 30% of the oil isaid, in the world passing through this i said, well this if you are going area. saudi arabia is calling on the ona hunger i said, well this if you are going on a hunger strike i think it's time united states in the international that i should as well. i'm not going community to expand their naval to leave you alone in it. police are investigating after 3 people were killed presence in the gulf. remember in separate attacks in london during the war between 1980 and 1988 in the last 2a hours. the united states basically, the navy, escorted chefs because the war itself and what i see in the next few days and weeks you will see the american navy escorting ships, but this will be very costly and expensive, and the expansion of american naval presence in the gulf would also trigger a direct

confrontation because of the iranians and americans. thank you very much for that analysis. thank you. nearly 600 homes have now been evacuated in lincolnshire — because of fears a river could burst its banks, again. around 300 homes had already been evacuated after 2 months of rainfall fell in just 2 days — with some houses filled with water almost a metre high — after the river steeping burst its banks in wainfleet, near skegness. raf chinooks were called in to drop ballast to bolster the banks. but authorities say water levels are still rising — and this afternoon told residents in another 290 homes to evacuate. earlier, i spoke to the chief inspector of lincolnshire police — phil vickers — who's been helping co—ordinate efforts and updated us on the situation. as you say, the repairs completed by the raf yesterday evening were checked again at first light

and although they were holding, there was concern about the volume of water seeping through. another crack was found in the bank and a decision was made that the first 290 homes, that's the area to the west of wainfleet, would be evacuated. later today we've seen rising water levels around the pumping station that serves the area and as a result we are concerned we might lose the capability of the pumping station, so further properties have been evacuated. where people being evacuated to? we are asking most people to self evacuate to stay with friends out of the area. we have prioritised vulnerable residents and providing a specific level of support depending on their needs. we have a refreshment centre, reception centre in skegness for people who don't have anywhere else to go and we are treating people according to their needs and looking at the next 24—48 hours.

the rain has been going on for the past week. how are residents feeling? they have responded well. the community are very positive and supportive and have evacuated pretty much as we have asked them to. they've been really helpful for all of the volunteers and emergency services on the ground. clearly, there is concern for the damage to property and we are trying to minimise that. but we are providing local residents with as accurate information as we can in a timely manner. you must be coordinating with weather forecasts. how much more rain are you expecting across this area? there's a delay in the impact. although the weather on the ground today has been relatively dry compared to previous days, there is still a large volume of water coming through. the high volume pumps we've got in place are helping us to reduce the area, but we are prepared for potentially an increase over night

and that's why we are planning through the weekend and into early next week. like you said, there is a delay. how long does it take before those waters start to recede? it's going to depend on the weather in a very tight local area. there is a lot of water from the fens that comes out through the river, so we need to prepare for a number of contingencies. the high—volume pumps that have been put in place are making a real difference to that. it's not a precise science and we are trying to provide accurate information as often as we can. raf chinooks are helping to drop ballast and gravel to try and shore up those banks. in terms of preparation, had he done as much as you could or where you caught off guard? i think we've done a lot. 0ur higher civil emergency risk in lincolnshire is around flooding. we provided local communities with information about what they can do to be prepared, as a group

of agencies we have worked together and exercise around this kind of scenario on a regular basis. 0ur priority is always going to be to save life, protect people, and we are happy with what we have achieved so far. clearly it's a significant challenge, we are an raf county and military support has been fantastic too. police are investigating after three people were killed in separate attacks in london. a man in his 30s died after being stabbed in tower hamlets earlier this afternoon. it follows the deaths of two teenagers yesterday evening. it comes after police made 1a arrests — following four separate attacks in london which left two teenagers dead and three men injured injured, in the space of 12 hours, as our correspondent ben ando explained to me a little earlier. the police were called and were told that he may have been found with

stab wounds in a park and they attended the ambulance service we re called, but they were unable to help this man that he was pronounced dead 1a minutes later. our understanding at the moment is that there have been no arrests in connection with this latest one. and there have been some arrests made in attacks that took place yesterday? yesterday afternoon around this time ken the first report of another stabbing and police attended and found a teenage boy they are suffering from stab wounds and again it could not save him in the ambulance crews cannot save him. he was pronounced dead at the scene. in connection with that there've been six young men age 16 to 19 arrested and questioned. but a few minutes later there was a shooting in southeast london and the armed police were called and attended again in may was found with gunshot wounds, he died and three

people including one girl age 16 to 17 has been arrested in connection with that and they say that he was sickened by this latest round of violence. the headlines on bbc news. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranianjailed in iran, has begun a new hunger strike in protest against her imprisonment. police are investigating after 3 people were killed in separate attacks in london in the last 2a hours. hundreds of homes have been evacuated because of flooding in lincolnshire, brought on by heavy rain. six candidates remain in the race to be the next leader of the conservative party and the next prime minister, to replace theresa may. health secretary, matt hancock, pulled out of the contest yesterday but is yet to declare who he is backing. former foreign secretary and mayor of london, boris johnson, remains the frontrunner and has confirmed he will participate in a bbc televised leadership debate.

today the candidates have been addressing a leadership hustings in central london, where contenders for the tory crown have been lining up to insist there must be no unchallenged "coronation" for mrjohnson — here's the former brexit secretary dominic raab. are you concerned they may be denied a proper contest here? there certainly should not be. we have just come all parts of the country down here and it's been great to engage and it's their party, it must be given their say and therefore is heard. do you really have a chance 01’ heard. do you really have a chance or should you leave the field now? i'm just getting started. i think of the candidate to be most trusted to deliver on brexit. if you get brexit done to deliver a full deal for workers and unite the aspirations of working middle class for this country. how will you stop a boris johnson coronation? public scrutiny

here on the bbc news channel. the health secretary, matt hancock, has ordered what he called ‘a root and branch review‘ of hospitalfood — after 2 more patient deaths were linked to a listeria outbreak. a total of 5 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. a little earlier my colleage, geeta guru—murty spoke to dr nick phin, the deputy director

of the national infection service at public health england. 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. these are products that were used as part of the sandwiches. at the moment, the food standards agency ourself 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. we are fairly confident that now we have identified it and are working with the fsa and local authorities, steps have been taken to stop production, that this issue is no longer. 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. 0pera taught him how to deal with highly strung and highly talented performers.

it is a simple as that, holding their hands. really dealing with vulnerable people. really charming little kids. 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. sweet rest come to thy heart as that within my breast. 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. but jesus of nazareth,

made for 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. in 2004, 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, with italy. and we manage one way or the other to make the spanish have with my work and association with the british talent. such a traditional honour meant a lot to a director renowned for his love of formality, opulence and beauty. reporter lizo mzimba a catholic mass has been celebrated at notre dame cathedral in paris for the first time since the building was partially destroyed by a fire. the service took place

welcome to old trafford where i am afraid it is an all—too—familiar scene at this cricket world cup. 0nce scene at this cricket world cup. once again the rain has been pouring down and heard the ideal preparations for india and pakistan although india did get some time out in the net earlier on ahead of what is one of the biggest rivalries in world sport. just to give you an idea, there were more than half a million ticket applications for this game and other words they could have sold out more than 20 times, and it‘s estimated that could be a tv audience around the world of a billion people. remember india and pakistan rarely play each other outside of major tournaments like this because of the political tensions between the two countries. the only adds to the anticipation and not surprisingly both teams are looking forward to it. there's a lwa ys looking forward to it. there's

always pressure in any game in these carry the exact same amount points and obviously there is a mess that‘s created by the media really. we are ready and comfortable and can get out there and perform and so excited about the opportunity tomorrow. and again that you play for your country can be emotional, adrenaline filled and so no one can be emotional, adrenaline filled and so no one game can be emotional, adrenaline filled and so no one game is more important or more special for us than the other as cricketers who have been selected to play for the country our responsibility is to treat every game equally because you have to be committed to play for your country. putting all the excitement to one side, india will serve as the favourites tomorrow in they are unbeaten in the world cup tomorrow. they have one of the best batsman in the world and as for pakistan, well they have never beaten india in a cricket world cup match. 0nly

they have never beaten india in a cricket world cup match. only 11 of matches so far in this tournament but as they showed in victory over england when they do click they are capable of doing something very special indeed. of course the only other big factor is the weather. there is the threat of more showers here tomorrow afternoon but fingers crossed we will get to see what could be one of the matches of this world cup. it‘s day 7 at the women‘s world cup in france as we head towards the business end of the tournament. today, the netherlands secured their place in the last 16 with a game to spare after beating cameroon 3—1, with a double for arsenal‘s vivianne miedema, making her her country‘s all time record goalscorerer. paul frostick reports. the first a0 minutes of the netherlands and cameroon‘s first meeting was somewhat forgettable but after an uninspiring start the match exploded into life. european

champions finally showed their class as vivianne miedema found the target. they barely had time to celebrate. less than three minutes later, this equaliser, a perfectly timed run exposing the dutch defence. after the break it was cameroon who were caught sleeping. this time another arsenal player with the easiest of goals. cameroon had their chances to make it 2—2 but this was to beat vivianne miedema‘s day. her 60th international goal sending them through to the last 16 and making her her country‘s all—time top scorer. there‘s live coverage of the other group e match between canada and new zealand on the red button and via the bbc sport website from 8 o‘clock. so the european champions through with a game to spare — as are england of course after their victory over argentina yesterday.

it means the lionesses have won both their opening games at a world cup for the first time. 0ur correspondent katie gornall reports from le havre. today the england players will be reflecting on that game at le havre and feeling pleased that they are able to get the job done with a game to spare. it had all the ingredients for being a frustrating evening for them in le havre. argentina defender deep, they are physical, they have already taken a point offjapan, and in this game the goalkeeper was having a game of her life, saving a penalty. jodie taylor came to the rescue after finishing off a slick move. that was herfirst rescue after finishing off a slick move. that was her first goal in 1a months. it was enough to put england through with a game to spare. afterwards, players were talking about it, steph horton said it was about it, steph horton said it was about putting in a disciplined

performance. going into this game today we knew it would be a tough test, argentina would be physical, well organised and hard to break down. we had to show some patience and we did that. it could have been even more than one goal but it does not matter, we just wanted to get the three points and qualify for the round of 16 and look forward to playing japan. for the england players that did not play last night, they trained this morning in le havre, good news from the camp is that toni duggan took part, she has mist the first couple of games with a thigh injury. now she will travel for the final game in the group against japan. still plenty to play for even though they are through to the knockout stages because a point ora win against the knockout stages because a point or a win against a panel see them top the group and a more favourable route into the last 16, they could avoid the likes of canada and the netherlands for example. they will wa nt to netherlands for example. they will want to top the group. derby county are talking to manager frank lampard

about a new contract amid growing speculation that chelsea are about to approach him to replace outgoing boss maurizio sarri. chelsea are yet to make contact with derby about lampard, who is the overwhelming favourite to take over from juventus—bound sarri at stamford bridge. however, derby are keen for him to extend his current deal, which still has two years to run and have already begun negotiations. it‘s us open weekend. we‘re at the half way stage at pebble beach withjustin rose and rory mcilroy still in contention. it‘s the american gary woodland who tops the leaderboard at the moment — rose trailing byjust two. let‘s speak to the bbc‘s golf correspondent iain carter who‘s there for us. we have to mention gary woodland, does he have what it takes to

hunger strike. she called him from jail this morning to say she‘d started to refuse food. she had been quite tense and distressed and angry in previous phone calls, distraught. actually, today she was quite calm she‘d made the decision, she‘d sent a letter due to the judiciary, and she was quite nervous, but also come. this is a desperate move by an ordinary couple caught in extraordinarily complex international politics. the case is intricately connected to the difficult relationship between the uk and iran, a relationship that has got even more fraught. two days ago, two oil tankers were attacked in the gulf of oman, one of the busiest waterways in the world. the us and britain are blaming iran, tehran denies any involvement, the labour party says the evidence behind it is not clear, but it has dramatically ratcheted up tensions in the region. 0ur message to iran is, whatever the

have been evacuated. this is the second time rebecca and jodie have had to move. you have got where all the electrics have to dry out, because you can‘t put them back on, so it is like being in emergency accommodation that you are going to be setting up a new home, when you know that your home is under water. and it is so hard. it is horrible. the environment agency says the river could breach at points where its flood defences are vulnerable. an raf chinook returned today to help shore up the bank. it is this stretch of the river steeping that is expected to burst its banks, and that is why the raf chinook behind me has been flying back and forth with bags of sand and gravel to try to plug any breach. volunteers have travelled for miles to help the flood defence operations.

for the past three days, we have just had to rescue a 97 year lady, asi just had to rescue a 97 year lady, as i say, just drop in sand bags of come on the door, dropping sandbags, just basically helping people, doing what we do. emergency crews will continue to monitor the river levels, but for now residents don‘t know when they or their families, four—legged or otherwise, will be able to return home. luxmy gopal, bbc news, wainfleet. the health secretary, matt hancock, has ordered what he‘s called a "root and branch" review of hospital food, after two more deaths of patients were linked to a listeria outbreak. five people have died from the infection, which is particularly dangerous to people who are already ill. eight trusts have been affected, including one in manchester and one in liverpool. the sandwiches and salads thought to have caused the outbreak have been withdrawn. rivals competing to be the next leader of the conservative party and prime minister have dismissed suggestions they should withdraw and allow an uncontested coronation for the frontrunner, boris johnson.

they‘ve been campaigning for the support of party members at a meeting in london. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley was there. blink and you‘ll miss it, boris johnson arrives at the first leadership hustings for tory activists. in here, he told them he isa activists. in here, he told them he is a winner, and he is undoubtedly the man to beat, but his rival say a coronation would be a mistake. that would be a complete disgrace. the public deserve a chance to look at these leaders. mrjohnson‘s opponents insist this is not over. we had a coronation last time, didn't work out well, so let's not make the same mistakes again. michael gove easy it is all to play for. the leadership hustings have been taking place behind closed doors, and that will change tomorrow at the first televised event, when five of the six candidates, minus mr johnson, will attend, but ultimately

those standing for the leadership know that it is people like me once here, party activists, that they have to convince. you think the wider membership are listening, or it is boris and that is eight? no, i think they are listening. it was always going to be borisjohnson for me, but! always going to be borisjohnson for me, but i am now not sure who would be the second option.|j me, but i am now not sure who would be the second option. i had thought i was close to making up my mind, but i have got more of an open mind after today. still listening to your pitch? they were, yes! the fight to be our next pm on. to beat this man, though, won‘t be easy. nick eardley, bbc news. a roman catholic mass has been held at notre dame cathedral in paris for the first time since a fire destroyed the roof and spire two months ago. about 30 worshippers took part in the service, which was held in a side chapel, because the main structure hasn‘t yet been declared safe. both worshippers and clergy had to replace their usual headgear with hard hats. the leader of hong kong has

suspended the introduction of a new law that would allow extraditions to mainland china. the controversial proposals prompted huge street protests, including one last sunday where organisers said more than a million people took part. from hong kong, rupert wingfield—hayes reports. fellow citizens and members of the media... as she stood alone at the podium, carrie lam must have known that every pair of eyes in hong kong was watching her. after a week of street protests in running battles between protesters and police, would she or wouldn‘t shape back down and drop the widely hated extradition bill? i now announce that the government has decided to suspend the legislative amendment exercise. not a withdrawal, then. so is this just a trick to pacify the protesters? it has nothing to do with an intention or wish to pacify. how could i restore, as fast as possible, the calm in society,

and how could i avoid any more law—enforcement officers and ordinary citizens being injured? the fear of more angry protesters returning to these barricades is what has prompted carrie lam and her administration to make what is clearly a major climb—down. this is not a temporary pause to the extradition bill — this is an indefinite suspension. nevertheless, it may not be enough to prevent very large crowds from coming out here again on sunday for another huge show of discontent. on wednesday, the police just... this young protester and many of his friends will be out there, and possibly thousands more like them. they want the bill completely withdrawn, but for them it is about so much more. we don't trust the government. we don't need a small victory. we want to cancel the bill, but not temporarily. and i don't want to see hong kong to be invaded by a totalitarian government.

the problem for passionate young hong kongers like this is that communist china isjust 16 miles away across the harbour. somehow they‘re going to have to learn to live with that fact. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in hong kong. the italian film and opera director franco zeffirelli has died at the age of 96. he was twice nominated for an oscar and is perhaps best known for his adaptations of shakespeare‘s works, including romeo and juliet. he‘s reported to have died peacefully after a long illness. there‘s more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we‘re back with the late news at ten o‘clock. 00:50:40,990 --> 2147483052:02:05,210 now on bbc one, it‘s time 2147483052:02:05,210 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 for the news where you are.
