of on 90, he succumbed to a bit of brilliance. the afghanistan captain used to be a body—builder and he is certainly enjoying that. could his team muscled their way back? not with captain eoin morgan at the crease. he has onlyjust recovered from a back spasm, you would hardly have guessed it from this. soonjoe this. soon joe root this. soonjoe root reached his half—century. it has not been as simple as many expected, but england are heading for a commanding total. time for a look at the weather. here's nick miller. cloudy epic cricket, but the cricket surviving the weather for now. northern england having the best so far, but pollen levels are high. in southern england, we have to look at this woman holding an umbrella with one spare, that sums up the great british summer, and very wise, looking at the radar pictures. outbreaks of rain pushing across southern england into south wales, we have had some rumbles of thunder

and it is showers again in scotland and it is showers again in scotland and northern ireland. there is a slice of fine weather across much of northern england and southern scotland. a few showers moving south across northern ireland, outbreaks of rain pushing further north, the chance for a rumble of thunder into east anglia and temperatures about 20 degrees at best, feeling quite humid across southern england and we are concerned about heavy or torrential rain. a met office yellow warning for thunderstorms, 30 to 50 millimetres of rain, the potential is there, including areas that have had disruption and flooding. there may also be disruption from lightning, hail, gusty winds. let's ta ke lightning, hail, gusty winds. let's take a closer look, into this evening some outbreaks of rain around, but deeper into the night we will see some of these perhaps torrential sunny downpours working from the south. there will be areas that get next to nothing but others

will get an absolute soaking, and that continues into the early morning rush—hour. for scotland and northern ireland, showers will fade, although some come towards north—west scotland later in the night. but for many in scotland and northern ireland, the day starts with sunshine tomorrow. cloudy with outbreaks of rain for and wales, to kill any across eastern parts there is the transport thundery downpours to continue. wales and west in england slowly brighten up, showers moving across northern and western scotla nd moving across northern and western scotland and northern ireland again, some quite heavy. temperatures up to around 20 at best. showers into scotland and northern ireland into thursday, one or two for england and wales but it will be quieter here. westerly winds bring fresher air. i had something to show you on the big picture for friday and saturday, this is an area of high—pressure promising mainly dry weather and settling things down. we will

squeeze out two fine days for most others and friday and saturday. any more than two seems to be too much to ask for, as the weather goes downhill again at the weekend —— end of the weekend. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. the race to become conservative leader and prime minister intensifies today, with a second round of voting by mps on the six remaining candidates. that's all from the bbc news at one. hello there, you are watching bbc news. i am hello there, you are watching bbc news. iam holy. at hello there, you are watching bbc news. i am holy. at the bbc sport centre.

the former head of uefa michel platini has been detained by french police investigating the award of the 2022 world cup to qatar. platini is still serving a football ban after being found guilty of receiving a disloyal payment from former fifa boss sepp blatter let's cross to paris where platini is being questioned jane dougall is there, jane. it is deeply embarrassing? yes. he is very well respected in france than in his playing days, the head of uefa in 2007 and was instrumental in bringing the world cup to france. it was very successful. this morning it was reported he was brought here to these buildings behind me, to the judicial police based in the ministry of the interior. his lawyer has been seen leaving the building but as yet there has been no sign of

michel platini yet. there has been a statement for michel platini's solicitor. roughly translated from fran -- solicitor. roughly translated from fran —— mike french, he has been released for technical reasons. also and this is a direct translation from french to english, he expresses them self serenely and precisely putting that he answers the questions put to him. that is a direct translation, so basically saying he is not sure about the fact he has been questioned behind. he is being questioned about the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar which was such a shock to everybody, not least because of blazing temperatures in the summer in three which footballers found very difficult to play n. that has been resolved because it has been switched to the winter months. there was a lack of human rights in qatar.

following investigations into the decisions, 16 members have either been struck off, have either been suspended or are under investigation. in 2015 as you mentioned, michel platini was banned. that ban is due to expire and as you mentioned, the women's world cup is being held in france which means fifa is in town so maybe this questioning is timely. thank you very much indeed. you have got all the exits covered there. ewan morgan has set an incredible century for england. england won the toss and batting first in their match at old trafford. the wicket was brought to the skipper to the crease. he had a back spasm as well, just passed fit before this match. brought his

100 from 57 deliveries and that included 11 sixes. england are heading for a very, very big score at the moment. you can follow england's match with afghanistan across the bbc today. n play video clips, see some of those from the bbc sport website. newcastle boss rafael benitez has been offered £12 million a year to take over as manager at chinese super league club dalian yifang. benitez is out of contract at the end ofjune and is yet to sign a new deal.

the bbc understands it is becoming increasingly likely benitez will leave st james' park. charlton athletic boss lee bowyer has agreed a one—year contract extension with the club a day after the addicks said they were unable to agree terms. bowyer led them to the championship this season with victory in the league one play—off final. rain has delayed the start of play at queens. dan evans should have been. with the british number one facing his opponent later on. as you can see, not too many umbrellas but the covers are on, it is raining. that is all the sport for you. we will have an update on the tennis and everything else in the next hour.

i have heard you loud and clear and have reflected deeply on all that has transpired. the concerns over the past few months have been caused by deficiencies in their work of other government over the amendment exercise. i personally have to shoulder much of the responsibility. this has led to controversies and anxieties in society. for this, i offer my most sincere apology to all people of hong kong. our correspondent stephen mcdonnell was in hong kong and was listening to that news conference. this is cloud to say the bill is dead. she cannot come out and say it is clearly as that. effectively it is politically impossible now to reintroduce the spell delivering a massive victory to the hundreds and

thousands of protesters who have taken to the streets here to oppose this plan, to send people to mainland chinese courts controlled by the communist party. the tone of carrie lam was also different today. a week ago we had a belligerent hong kong leader saying she was not giving up on the bill, not giving up on the timetable, that she was going to push ahead with all of this. today she was saying she was listening to the people, she wasn't speaking about an organised group of rioters. instead, she was saying that she could understand why parents had marched through the streets of hong kong, worried about the future of their city. she said that she needed to listen more, she said she needed to accept the blame. so, this was a very humiliating step down for hong kong's leader today. but it is a sign of an embattled leader who feels there is no choice, that she had to come out today, make a very public and at least sincere appearing apology, saying that she is going to listen to people in the future, in order to have some sort of a political

career in the future. instagram "can't solve bullying on its own" — that's according to the social media company's boss, adam mosseri. it comes after the government introduced a white paper in april with tough new rules on social media companies — saying that if they didn't take responsibility for what appears on their platforms, they'd face heavy fines. in an inteview with bbc radio 1's newsbeat — mr mosseri — said the company needed more support to tackle bullying online. and he welcomed regulation in some areas. bullying has existed for a long time, it has changed and evolved with the internet, some of that manifests on instagram and on other platforms as well. to address that issue, i think there are a lot of interesting things that we could do with instagram and we are really excited to innovate in that space and you will see more coming from us later this year. but instagram alone can't solve the issue of bullying, it has to be a combination of support for children,

parents, schools. and bullying, like many other issues, it is broader thanjust instagram and i think that sometimes gets missed. toronto police confirmed that two people were shot as. two people have sustained serious but nonlife threatening injuries in the incident and two people have been taken into custody. the parade was attended by almost 2.5 million people. why is everyone running? panic fills the air of downtown toronto. moments earlier, shots had been fired into a crowd. they were there to celebrate the toronto raptors nba championship victory. but instead, some fans were caught up in something much more serious. i want to make sure everybody stays calm right now, ok? please, stay calm. we're dealing... i'm getting information that we are dealing with the situation that's not farfrom here. this is serious. the result of the shooting was that

two people sustained serious but not life—threatening injuries. two people were arrested, and two firearms were also recovered. it was meant to be the homecoming parade to end all homecoming parades. vast amounts of people filled the streets of toronto, estimates range from 1.5 million to two million fans in attendance, including their most famous one. hey! i want you to turn to somebody you do not know and give them a hug. we're the greatest in the world of champions! let's go, raptors! they were there to welcome back their heroes, the toronto raptors basketball team — the first and only canadian team to win the nba championships, ever. it's amazing, everybody is out, hopefully nobody went into work today, hopefully they got the first few hours of the day off. look at it, it's crazy!

as canada's only nba team, the whole country got behind the raptors, as they clinched the championship, beating five—time champions, the golden state warriors. monday's rally, though marred with violence, will still be remembered for some time. proposals designed to tackle the environmental impact of the fashion industry, have been rejected by the government. the recommendations put forward by mps on the environmental audit committee, hoped to end the culture of throwaway clothes and poor working conditions. but the government says many of the proposals are already covered by government policy. earlier this morning, my colleague carrie gracie wasjoined by the money blogger lynnjames and the mp mary creagh who chairs the environmental audit committee. mary began by explaining the scale of ths issue. the industry's voluntary initiatives have failed. they've got a voluntary initiative to tackle carbon, water and waste. and even if they meet those

standards, which they haven't, that is far surpassed by the volume of clothing doubling in the last 15 years. so we've got an ever increasing mountain of clothes and no action to tackle it. and so really what we're saying is, you know, if you are going to report on your carbon emissions and we get to net zero, you have to report on your water and your way emissions as well. loads of them don't. so is this just a question of the government notjoining up the dots and kind of thinking it all through and getting up to speed? i mean they say they are dealing with this agenda. they have got a waste consultation which has just closed. in that waste consultation they have said that they will consider an extended producer responsibility and they've given a menu of five different things. so textiles are in there, vying for attention with tyres, with furniture, with mattresses and carpets. what we are saying is it is not a choice of one of the other, it is all of them. they are also saying that they will do a couple of them by 2025. we have got scientists saying we've got 11 years to tackle devastating climate change. we need to get on with this. so, lynn, in yourview,

what is the thing that shoppers should be doing? we know that a lot of people watching this programme this morning are the people, you know, in the frame, in terms of throwing away clothes. we all occasionally to that. what should we be doing that instead? and i'm guilty of having far too many clothes at home. so, firstly, it's don't just throw them away. like, recycle them, give them to the local charity shop in your village. we've got a small charity shop where i live and the clothes go there, or to my local school or to people that are... not necessarily the bags that come through your letterbox, because i never trust them. or give it to somebody you know. i buy stuff from h&m and i know h&m are working hard to become more environmental. i know they are not perfect yet but they have taken steps. you can take a bag of clothes in to h&m and they will give you some money off your shop. so it is a small step but it's in the right direction.

so it is looking, mary, do you agree, it is looking like best practice among the fashion retailers? we had a list of leaders and laggards which is on the environmental audit committee's website and you can go on there and see tesco's are doing good things, so is primark actually. so is asos. and some of those companies have been caught up in big scandals like the rana plaza scandal, so they have had to make those changes. the bangladesh factory collapse. the big factory collapse where 1100 workers were killed making clothes to our high street. so that is the real cost there. but the laggards really are the online brands, the boohoos, tk maxx and amazon. not only does amazon not pay its taxes, they don't have any sort of sustainably policies at all. and that is really difficult and damaging for the environment. so go and demand more from your clothing retailers. what we really feel though is that without the government regulating and saying you have, if you want to have permission to operate in this country, you've got to be tackling these big issues.

and if you're not, you cannot really do business in this country. and modern slavery, they are all meant to have a statement on their website saying what they have done to tackle slavery in the supply chain. we have found big brands like footlocker, geox, valentino — luxury brands — simply not doing anything about it. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. a second ballot takes place this afternoon in the conservative party leader contest. two teenage neo—nazis who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a woman of mixed race are jailed for encouraging terrorism.

mps are calling for the government to end the era of throwaway clothes and bad working conditions in the fashion supply chain. they say its important that the fashion industry changes its ways. allied bakeries — which makes kingsmill bread — is halting production at its site in cardiff. 180 jobs are at risk. the company wants to move its bread production operations to "larger facilities". middle—aged people are increasingly being used as "money mules" to launder money through their bank accounts according to the fraud prevention service cifas. more than 40,000 cases "bore the hallmarks" of money mule activity last year. the biggest increase was in people aged 45 to 60. facebook plans to launch a new digital currency, called libra, next year. it'll allow payments via its own

apps or through whatsapp. the company says it wants to make sending money as easy as sending a text. it's the latest big tech firm to get into payment services. zoe klienman is our technology reporter. hello. why are facebook doing this now? facebook has tried to get into payments in the past and has had limited success. what it is recognising no it has such a big ecosystem and it wants to keep people on those platforms as long as possible. if you can make a payment toa possible. if you can make a payment to a friend, a service shop without having to navigate away, then it can keep those eyeballs for longer than it has been able to up until now. how will this work? it is a digital currency, it is cold libra. we will never be able to physically hold in oui’ never be able to physically hold in our hand. it will be like a nap in your phone and you will be able to use it to spend it fire the facebook platform, you can send money to me, toa platform, you can send money to me, to a shop and anyone you like and you will be buying and selling it.

it will be different to bitcoin. bitcoin has quite a bad reputation, the value of it fluctuates widely, it is volatile it has been linked with crime it is quite insecure and no regulation behind it. if you have lost it you have lost your cash. it has got the backing of big business, it will be paid to the value of sta ble it will be paid to the value of stable currencies like the pound and dollar and if you do get hacked, then this group are saying they will give you your money back. doesn't facebook have its own reputational problems, will people trust them with their money? this is the 64,000 libra question. here we have a company with a bit of chequered history with looking after people's data, can it convince people that it can look after their cash. convenience is a big thing here. it has billions of users on those three platforms. the payment system will

be tempting and there are people without bank accounts at all and it says it would be very helpful to them. whether or not that will be a bigger drop than over concerns about security we will see, and whether this is big market. there are other digital currencies and other ways of making payment like paypal, you do not need cash in your wallet to do that anymore. it is a credit marketplace, can it stand out? a look at some other stories. the chancellor phillip hammond says he is aware of the risks of doing business with china — but still hopes for closer trade ties between the two countries. the comments come as trade tensions between the us and china remain high. london's gatwick airport has seen annual underlying earnings rise by more than 7% to £441 million. passenger numbers climbed to 46.5 million. french energy company total says it's now got the most powerful supercomputer in the industry.

it's designed to make it cheaper and easier to find oil. the ftse is up — after hints from the boss of the european central bank that there could be a cut in interest rates. mining stocks are doing well — so gains for rio tinto and antofagasta. pressure is coming off oil prices — that's despite the continued tensions in the middle east. that's all the business news. it's one of motorsport‘s most prestigious events. winning the le mans 24—hour driving marathon is the ultimate goal for any serious endurace racer. now a team from britain is hoping to become the first ever all—disabled team to compete in the race. tim muffett has been to meet them. team brit is known as the most inspirational team in motorsport.

we are the only race in the world where a disabled person can come along, get an introduction to motorsport. bedford autodrome. and dan smith is preparing to take to the track. i was involved in a road traffic accident in december 2002. it left me paralysed from the upper chest downwards. team brit was formed in 2015. it now has five specially adapted cars and this specially adapted simulator. we adapted one of our steering wheels to fit onto the simulator so whereas before we would have had to have put a driver into a race car, showed them the hand controls and see how they get on. now we can get them on the simulator, teach them new circuits. it started off as a project to get injured troops into motorsport and we always wanted to inspire other people with disabilities and mental health issues. bobby has autism. he is one of the team's top drivers. autism doesn't affect my driving,

in fact in a way it probably helps me because i'm able to focus on more things as the autistic brain analyses more data are probably better than other people. the team helped billy monger get into racing when he lost his legs in an accident in 2017. track days like this are a chance to spot new talent like tracy who had her leg amputated in 2010. cancer. yeah. three times. lost my leg. i haven't looked back. it has made me take life one day at a time and enjoy every single day. and this is part of the enjoyment. i never thought i would be able to do it. i am in my 50s and this is like my third time with team brit. so, if they had not have opened it up, i would not be doing it. time for dan to take to the circuit. stay out to the left. no brake and then run the white line, in we go. feed the power in.

blind down the straight and then braking, jumping down the gears and then wanging it into a corner much faster than you would ever have taken a corner, but the car sticks to the road, sticks to the road then opens out and then, bam, you are off again. team brit has already achieved its main aim of opening up the world of motorsport to disabled drivers. but it has now got its sights set on one the of world's races. on one the of world's most famous races. the pinnacle of team endurance racing the le mans 24—hour. to be the first all disabled team, to race in le mans, especially as a british team, we are setting the standard for the rest of the world to follow and be a fantastic message. that's it, power. team brit is not a charity and taking to the track isn't cheap. but like many, dan hopes that one day he can take the chequered flag representing this inspirational team. tim muffett, bbc news. researchers have found that dogs have evolved

now it is time for the weather with tim avery. a warm plume of air comes in and something fresh are coming in around that area of low pressure, still dominating feature. showers there, thundery showers in the first part of this evening and the first part of this evening and the first part of the night grazing in across the south—eastern quarter and it is this south—eastern quarter and it is this so and that is the subject of this yellow warning for thunder storms from the met office. it rolls on through the rest of the night and on into wednesday. somewhere in the zone has the potential of seeing 50 millimetres, two inches of rain, before this particular event is done. here we are in to the small errors, one or two thunderstorms might follow on and they may gather

pressure from scotland and northern ireland, isolated showers further south across england and wales. plenty of sunshine around and that will push the temperatures pleasa ntly to will push the temperatures pleasantly to 20 degrees as a high. that is the way we go into the weekend, things coming down. things we re weekend, things coming down. things were settled in the west come sunday.
