he is a really good grass court player. when i spoke to my team, we thought maybe playing some doubles originally would be a good way of kind of preparing me for singles and also testing my hip to see what it's like in a match situation where there's obviously not as much movement. do you feel the love? yeah, i do, especially when i play at home. the support‘s always been brilliant here. hopefully when we get out on the court here, it will be the same again. time for a look at the weather — here's nick miller. andy murray has overcome many challenges, but the great british summer challenges, but the great british summer weather may get the better of him and us again at times this week. there is a bit of sunshine out there in eastern england, but there are some spots that will turn very wet again as we go through this week. i can't dress it up for you. it is low hello, you're watching

afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. pressure in charge. one area close today at two: he's under fire for not taking to northern ireland and scotland throughout the week, so showers part in the channel 4 here. and another having a go at us debate last night, but a boost for borisjohnson's from the south that could bring leadership bid — he's now backed torrential and thundery downpours to by health secretary matt hancock. parts of central and eastern the opposition deputy leader, england. we will look at that in a tom watson, breaks from party policy and says labour should back britain moment. first, this is how this afternoon is looking. these are the showers in scotland and northern remaining in the eu. ireland. some sunshine, but if you catch a shower, it could be european is who we are and who we thundery. the northern england, have always been. our members are wales and the midlands, an area of cloud with a bit of showery rain remain. demonstrations in hong kong continue — with more calls associated with that. sunny spells developing more widely later. it is for the chief executive to resign over a controversial extradition plan. coming up on afternoon breezy out there. that gust in scotla nd breezy out there. that gust in scotland could be 50 mph in a few live, all the sport. spots. tonight, there are showers gary woodland has won his first golf which were fade and becomes dry for major with a three shot victory at a time. it could become misty and the us open. he is hardly south west england. and the rain is coming back to north—west scotland overnight. tomorrow, showers again in scotland and northern ireland,

just edging a bit further southwards through the day. and for northern england, there will be sunshine, but elsewhere in england and wales, cloud increasing from the south. remember that other area of low pressure i showed you, showers will develop as a result of that. they will turn heavier in some spots, especially later in the day. so there is some concern going into tuesday night and wednesday. the area shed to hear yellow is a met office warning for thunderstorms. there could be torrential rain. these are areas which have had disruption and are seeing some flooding, so any further rain is not welcome. there will be a big variety of rain totals, but there is the potential for disruption going into wednesday morning. on tuesday night, you get an idea of what some of us may be contending with. and even into wednesday, as persistent damp was clear, there will be a risk of further thunderstorms breaking out across this area, whereas northern england should turn drier and brighter. the showers will come back

into scotland and northern ireland. it may turn drier later in the week. and to add salt to the wound, an idea of what some of our european neighbours are starting the week with, temperatures near 30 in some spots. clearly, summer hasn't fallen out with everyone, just us. nick, thank you. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. the frontrunner in the conservative leadership race gets another boost — the health secretary becomes the seventh cabinet member to back boris johnson, saying he's the best person to unite a fractured party. that is all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me and we joined the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon i'm will perry, with your latest sports news. the west indies are taking on bangladesh in a match neither side can really afford to lose at the cricket world cup.

bangladesh won the toss at taunton and put the windies in to bat. they got off to a bad start losing star opener chris gayle for a duck in the 4th over they've steadied things since then and a few moments ago they were 122—2 for in the 24th over england will be without jason roy. he will miss tomorrow's match against afghanistan, and the fixture with sri lanka on friday. captain eoin morgan has confirmed thatjames vince will open the batting against afghanistan. morgan has not ruled out the possibility of calling alex hales into the squad, should roy's injury possessed. in the early hours of the morning, the american gary woodland won golf‘s third major title of the year

— he finished three shots clear of the defending champion brooks koepka at the us open, with englishman justin rose fading in his final round. rose was just one shot behind woodland going into the last day at pebble beach in california, but the former world number one carded five bogeys. he hasn't won a major now for six years. when you look at it you need to reflect and ask how you can get better. there is no use letting it hurt too much. it hurts if you make a mistake at the death. the way it happened to me today... i am proud of the fact that i even gave myself a chance. i have worked hard my whole life, and being surrounded by amazing people. i always wanted to be successful. i was always amazed, fell in love with golf, and it has transcended into today. it all kind of came out with me. i never got my self ahead of myself. it's kind of all came out.

ijust kept i just kept saying ijust kept saying it's never over, and when that last putt went in, it kind of all came out. england striker toni duggan says she's "itching to get out there" after being declared fit for theirfinal world cup group match against japan on wednesday. duggan tweaked a thigh in training a day after the lionesses arrived in france and missed their opening two matches in group d. she's expected to play a part againstjapan though with both sides already guaranteed a place in the last 16. you wait four years for another world cup to come round, then you go through all the training, and wanting to get picked, then you get on the plane finally, and then on your first day of training, you get injured. really frustrating on a personal level, but really part of the girls and the team. hopefully, i can help the team in any way that i can. well after scotland's defeat to japan on friday they know they have to beat argentina to have any hope of going through as one of the best third placed teams. their camp isn't giving up hopejust yet though of making it through to the knockouts in scotland's first women's world cup campaign.

it would be very disappointing. even though we get the messages that we have done the nation proud, and we've achieved great things, just getting here, but we know we can do better than this, and we don't want that, andl better than this, and we don't want that, and i can't imagine this journey ending on wednesday. to be honest, that thought hasn't even crossed my mind, because i believe it's not done yet. the final set of matches in groups a and b take place later today. don't forget you can watch all of the action across the bbc. that is all the sport for now. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. france will declare a state of national disaster after —— natural disaster after heavy rain and hail storms ravaged cops in the south—east of the country. storms raged across the region, not far from the city of lyon, and damaged

large swathes of farmland. farmers are large swathes of farmland. farmers a re left large swathes of farmland. farmers are left counting the cost of ruined greenhouses, harvests and vineyards. the deafening drumbeat of hail. these motorists are understandably panicked, as huge hailstones smashed their windscreen. the centre of the storm was romans—sur—isere. houses, shops, restaurants and churches severely damaged. as hailstones the size of golf balls rained down, anything made of glass became vulnerable. to me, it seemed like the end of the world. i was in my truck. there were pieces of glass falling. we took tables to protect our ourselves.

skylights in a gym hosting a competition smashed, and glass rain down on audience members. nearby, a german tourist died after a tree fell onto her camper van. the violence of the storm has taken everyone by surprise, including the emergency services, the emergency services, who have been swamped with calls for help. translation: since yesterday, we have had 570 requests for help. at the moment, we have processed 260. we have about 100 pending. these are mainly protective operations. fruit trees, vines, cereals, vegetables have all taken a pounding, here in the area known as the orchard of france. as the clean—up begins, the government has assured farmers that they will not be left to face huge losses. these storms were brief, but brutal. and farmers hope they will remain rare. the main governing party in germany,

the christian democrats, has seen offa the christian democrats, has seen off a challenge by the far right anti—immigrant party afd, in a mayoral election in the east of the country. the victory of octavian oeste and guy lets give some respite to chancellor angela merkel, his national coalition with the ce ntre—left national coalition with the centre—left social democrats was hit by heavy losses in last month's european elections. he overcame the afd‘s sebastian. a victory for the far right party would have given them the first ever mayo. —— mayor. would have given them the first ever mayo. -- mayor. i would have given them the first ever mayo. -- mayor. lam would have given them the first ever mayo. -- mayor. i am happy that they have decided to vote for me. at the end, it is not the about the two candidates, but we need to remain an open society, and not isolate

ourselves. germany's most easterly city has paid host to a number of blockbuster films. it attracts city has paid host to a number of blockbusterfilms. it attracts many tourists annually, but many young residents have left due to a lack of opportunities. unemployment in the city is double the national rate. around a third... the candidates, a former police superintendent did not appreciate this interference as he put it. he led after the first round of voting, but once the green and left party were eliminated, he faced an uphill struggle. he tried to remain positive. we did win, because probably a4—a5%, or even 46% of voters have said we want a change. we don't want this to stay the same way. we want to overcome this

standstill in the city. this election was seen by many as a litmus test. the support of the afd in the eastern country, and with state elections due to take place in september, there will be more hard campaigning in the months to come. the british restaurant chain, wahaca, has made a u—turn after making a waiter pay when customers he'd been serving in north london walked out without settling the bill. the incident was witnessed by another diner who condemned it as shameful. keith doyle has the story. the wahaca mexican restaurant chain says it provides an environment as enjoyable for its staff as for its customers, but when diners left without paying at a north london branch, it was the waiter who had to pay part of the bill, according to a customer who tweeted her outrage. the customer, sarah hayward, a former labour leader of camden council, said making this server foot the bill was shameful employment practice.

wahaca said it only made servers cover part of the bill in rare cases of real negligence but it has now clarified its policy and said staff would no longer have to contribute if customers leave without paying. it said the waiter in question did not have any pay deducted. the chain, which has 25 restaurants across the uk, was founded by masterchef winner thomasina miers. the row has highlighted the working conditions for waiting staff. the union unite said it has received similar reports from other chains where staff, already on low wages, are expected to pay for the dishonesty of some customers. keith doyle, bbc news. last week the prime minister theresa may announced that the uk is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2050 — which would mean big changes to how we live our lives. but some people are already making radical choices to lower the amount of carbon dioxide they produce, with some households doing what's known as going off—grid. reporter mike cowan went along

to meet the watkinson family who gave up their dayjobs to live a simpler life in wales. we are in pembrokeshire in the far west of wales, to meet the watkinson family. they have lived completely off grid for two years now. matthew and wife carys both used to be vets, until they gave it all up to live here, along with daughter elsa, and son billy. it's basically junk. so the first thing we have got a peer, is the horse lorry. an old horse lorry. we also have a little camper van, which is up against it. that's our bedroom. with the family going,

we got two great big huge trailers, and slid them behind, and then built a little cabin on top. wales has one of the most progressive policies in the uk when it comes to living off grid. thanks to the decade—old one planet development scheme. in a nutshell, it allows you to build on agricultural land, if you can make enough money to live off it, whilst living within your ecological means. so a bio digester essentially means that you are creating gas from your food waste. exactly. so these are our solar panels. i don't think we reduced our electricity use that much. we charge our phones, we've got the laptop, we've got the tv, we have the fridge and the freezer. if britain is to be carbon neutral by 2050, the way we power our homes will be key to achieving it. i went to the centre for alternative technology, to meet tim brewer, an expert in living off grid. so in our cities, where the majority of the population lives, how can we realistically work towards a carbon neutral future?

ok, so two major technologies that are appropriate for households generally, solar electrics or pv, and solar water heating panels. both of those technologies are really mature, and they are really applicable for most households in the uk. but in reality, we need national government policies, we need to be generating large amounts of renewable energy from our renewable resources that we have in our country, wind, solar, wave. how long do you think before way more people like you start doing this? the planning process is such a barrier, that i don't know how many people will end up doing it in time to make a big difference. the united nations say that we have as little as 11 years to stop a climate catastrophe. to halt it will take difficult government decisions, choices from business, and a willingness from us as individuals. and if we are to halt a catastrophe, it is a way of life that us as a society will have to adopt sooner rather than later.

in a moment, the business news but first, the headlines on bbc news... after missing last night's tv debate, borisjohnson receives a boost in the conservative party leader contest as health secretary, matt hancock, says he's the best candidate to unite the country. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, urges his party to make a strong case for staying in the eu. iran announces that it will soon breach the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium, that was capped under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. the blacklisting of huawei is taking its toll on the chinese telecoms manufacturer. it now says it will cut production of 2a billion pounds worth of goods

over the next two years. the united states has put tough restrictions on trading with huawei claiming it isfacilitating spying by the chinese government, something the company denies. the construction and services firm kier is cutting 1,200 jobs. it is trying to simplifyits business and reduce debt. it wants to focus on construction and road maintenance. so it will either sell or close down other business divisions such as recycling and rubbish processing. 650 jobs will go by the end of this month and the rest will go next year. the boss of ethiopian airlines has rejected a claim that pilots were to blame for thecrash of a 737 max plane in march, which killed 157 people. it was one of two fatal crashes which led to the grounding of the american made aircraft. a us congressman recently suggested that pilots trained in america would have been able to control the plane but ethiopian‘s chief executive has told the bbc

he was "seriously misinformed". in two months‘ time you should stop receiving those irritating calls offering to get youcompensation from missold ppi, pension protection protection insurance. perhaps more important it will be you last chance to make a claim. so the uk's financial conduct authority is launching a new advertising campaign toencourage more applications. this has been one of the biggest compensation schemes inhistory. between 2011 and this year the banks and other financial institutions have paidout £35.3 billion. in april 2019 alone, they paid back £334m. we now speak to a representative of money saving expert. is there really more money to be claimed? most vitally. the door well slammed shut on the 29th of august, so if you haven't got your claim and by then, it is closed forever. i would urge anyone thinking of gaming, or even just to check whether they can

reclaim, to do so as soon as possible, in case time slips away. you also mention the annoying calls we sometimes get. they typically ta ke we sometimes get. they typically take about a third, so say i'm too thousand pounds, that's fairly typical, that's over six and £50, but can only need to use them. you can reclaim for free. but can only need to use them. you can reclaim forfree. the but can only need to use them. you can reclaim for free. the first thing to do is to clip complain to whoever sold you the ppi. if you are rejected, unfortunately, some genuine claims do get rejected, you can go to the financial ombudsman service, and there are online tools, as well, which can help you do this, to help you do this for free. you mention a lot of pre—prep work. is it quite daunting, the stuff you've got to get together. these claims go back ten or 15 years? possibly even longer. we have seen claims into the 20 something years. if you have

paperwork to hand, look for payment protection insurance, or ppi, or asu, that is what ppi covers you against them on your credit cloud, oi’ against them on your credit cloud, or your loan. if you don't have your paperwork, you can ask your lender. if you have an account that has been active in the last six years, even if it was open well before that, they should still keep a record. if before that, you can still ask them, but there is no guarantee they will have the details. how much are people claiming? i have seen big ones. you mention about £2000. this is payment protection insurance, i mention pensions, sorry, i give it the wrong way, payment protection insurance, how big are some of these claims? the low thousands are fairly typical. we saw a case last month for £175,000. that is an astronomical amount. that is atypical, but the low thousands are fairly typical. two or three for

thousand pound claims from some of oui’ thousand pound claims from some of our users are quite typical. thank you very much. kfc has launched a vegan chicken burger made from quorn. they say the time is right. they greetjoin quorn. they say the time is right. they greet join the quorn. they say the time is right. they greetjoin the growing list of brands of meat free options. other industry figures out today show that the uk has overtaken germany to become the world leader in vegan food product launches. the european plane maker airbus has confirmed it will launch a new long—range version of its single aisle neoprene, which is usually used in short—haul routes. it will be available in 2023, and will burn 30% less fuel per passenger, and allow airlines reach slightly further distances than you'd normally expect for usual smaller aircraft. easyjet is that quite sharply, but it also fell out of the footsie last week. so that is one of the things people are just

worried about where easyjet is going. once it is out of the footsie, a lot of fund managers don't buy it automatically as a share, so again, people are worried about the direction. a profit warning from lufthansa has upset the airline market. a merger —— my easyj et airline market. a merger —— my easyjet dropped out of the ftse on the market are still unsure whether it should be out or in a merger in saudi arabia between two banks between our saudi arabia between two banks between oui’ means saudi arabia between two banks between our means rbs will be able to sell shares in the new group. the pound against the euro, looking quite weak at hull and 12. ok, that's it. thank you, jamie. they're known as the green lungs of our towns and cities

but parks across the country have suffered the brunt of council cuts in recent years. nottingham is one of eight towns which has secured a share of £11 million to safeguard the future of the city's open spaces. john maguire has been to a park in nottingham to find out how additional funding is breathing new life there. come on in, the water's lovely. in fact, it's a balmy 16 degrees. three times a week, this former gravel pit at colwick country park in nottingham is used and enjoyed by open water swimmers. tonight, there's even a group of the first timers. never really done open water, i don't really go swimming much. just haven't really entered any events, so yeah, just want to get into it and jump in at the deep end, literally! you'll have a great time, thank you. nottingham is one of eight towns and cities across the uk successful in bidding for extra money for parks and green spaces. £11 million is being given by the national lottery and the national trust to help find these open areas. this money is really important because for the first time it will allow us to get the breathing space to think and research and develop new ideas for how we're going to manage our spaces in the future.

so for instance, we'll be looking at new business opportunities. how we can create better facilities for our communities so we can have a cafe where the park runners can sit in afterwards, where families can go and enjoy themselves. it is a golden opportunity for us to plan notjust for tomorrow but for the next 20—30 years. such long—term strategies often fall foul of tightening council purse strings. but with an ever—increasing understanding of the physical and mental health benefits of open spaces, fresh air and these green lungs, are more important than ever. john maguire, bbc news, nottingham. one of the coolest places across europe at the moment, temperatures in the teens, but the warmer colours on the temperature chart indicate

temperatures well into the upper 20s. we will tap into some of that ip 20s. we will tap into some of that 1p south east corner, at least, as we go through the next couple of days, but it will come as price. that ended tomorrow, though, out there today, we have got low— pressure there today, we have got low—pressure out of the north of the country, further showers this evening, scotland and northern ireland, weak weather front, evening, scotland and northern ireland, weak weatherfront, central of inland and wells, the odd rain or drizzle, but clearer skies through parts of the night. space is staying dry. eastern parts of scotland, but what we will notice further south, things turning increasingly humid into tomorrow morning, compared to what we have seen over recent days. a slightly murkier feel across the south. some sunshine, clouding over, and then some showers breaking out. northwards towards part of the south east midlands, may be intricate too. away from that, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, still feeling quite pleasant, temperatures where they should be for this time

of year, 16—20d. i mention the price we will pay for that humid air. that will be in this area, this area marked by yellow. we could see some severe thunderstorms through tuesday and into wednesday, huge amounts of rain in the short space of time. that will cause some flash flooding and destruction. frequent lightning through the night, too, particularly through the night, too, particularly through south—east england and east anglia, a thundery downpours, in lincolnshire and that area, too, which will ease for a while, and then one or two isolated thunderstorms later on. away from that, a lot of dry weather across the bulk of england and wales. staying fairly breezy here, but we have seen some pretty strong words, ta ke have seen some pretty strong words, take us through to tuesday, and pretty blustery. when start to ease down, we will see lots of sunshine for england and wales, isolated showers, still some showers in scotla nd showers, still some showers in scotland and northern ireland, but through the latter stages of the week, high—pressure buzzing, high
