hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at two: one hour to go, from three o'clock conservative mps take part in a secret ballot, with borisjohnson the clear frontrunner the focus is on who else goes through. the remaining candidates will take part in a televised debate, here on the bbc, tonight, facing questions from you. we want to make it a runway success. heathrow airport unveils its expansion plans for a third runway, including re—routing a river — and the m25. the teenage neo—nazis, who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a mixed—race womanjailed for terrorism offences. the former head of uefa michel platini is questioned by french police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar.

he says he has done absolutely nothing wrong. coming up on afternoon live all the sport — damienjohnson. we are looking at cricket? yes, a world record for eoin morgan, he gives england a huge total against afghanistan. i will talk to you later. you need to wipe that lens, phil! thunderstorms, i will have all the details with you in the studio in just a few minutes. i will see you then, phil. also coming up: ion industry is told to put an end to the era of throwaway clothes and poor working conditions.

iam simon i am simon mccoy, good afternoon. the race to become conservative leader and prime minister intensifies in the next few hours with a second round of voting by mps on the six remaining candidates. they'll be knocked out if they come last, or if they fail to secure at least 10% of the vote, that's 33 supporters. those who get through will take part in a live bbc debate this evening. it will be a chance to scrutinise the frontunner borisjohnson, who's almost certain to make it through. he's refused to take part in a tv debate at the weekend, and at a westminster hustings yesterday. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. who will win the race to call this place home? no shortage of ministers with eyes on the top job. jeremy hunt wants it, so do michael gove and sajid javid. and rory stewart thinks he has got momentum in the race to succeed theresa may. reporter: are you feeling confident? "i am feeling good," he replies.

this is the man to beat. reporter: is it your race to lose, mrjohnson? silent again leaving home this morning. but he is hoovering up support in parliament. i think he is the best placed to get us out of the eu at the end of october. so his view and mine is very closely aligned, there. and secondly, i do believe he is an election winner. i think he is someone who can bring the country and the party back together. this afternoon, in here, tory mps will hold their second vote. at least one leadership hopeful will drop out, and it could be more. candidates will need the backing of 33 mps. borisjohnson is safe. he is miles ahead. jeremy hunt and michael gove should have enough support. but it will be close for rory stewart, sajid javid and dominic raab. mr stewart admits it will be tight but he wants the opportunity to take on borisjohnson. half the people in his campaign have got the impression that he intends to leave on the 31st of october with no deal. and the other half of the people in his campaign seem

to have got the impression he is going for the softest of soft brexits. the reason it alarms me is that the only way we are going to have stability in our government, country and party is if people trust us. sajid javid says his party needs to show it reflects modern britain. if we end up in a situation where the final two, three, four are people of similar backgrounds... public school, oxbridge, all that? yes. it'll look like a debate at the oxford union. ijust don't think that is healthy for the tory party. michael gove is adamant his bid to be pm has not run out of steam. a shower and a change of clothes later... i am feeling confident. i am looking forward to a good debate with the other candidates later and looking forward to making a case for a positive conservative vision, to ensure that we get a good brexit deal and that we reform this country for the better. have i been overtaken by rory stewart? he certainly hopes not. everyone who makes it through this afternoon's vote will be here tonight for the bbc debate. it will be the first debate that borisjohnson has taken part in in public,

and inevitably the other candidates will want to put pressure on the front runner over his brexit plans, over his policies, over what he wants to do in number 10. tonight, voters across the uk will be let in on the debate. policies will be tested, minds could change, even in a race where the result sometimes feels like a foregone conclusion. nick eardley, bbc news. our chief political correspondent vicky young is in parliament now. the clock is ticking to the next stage. yes, the second round as mps try to decide who are the two candidates that are put forward for that ballot of all conservative party members. as you might imagine, a lot of scrambling around for votes. boris johnson a lot of scrambling around for votes. borisjohnson is so far out in front that everybody is vying for second place. who is going to be his challenger? this afternoon we were speaking to representatives and

supporters of all the other candidates and we will start with robert halfon who is supporting sajid javid. he is close to the bottom of the panel here because of what happened in the last round, there does not seem to be much in there does not seem to be much in the team behind him, how confident are you that sajid javid can get through? he did very well in the la st through? he did very well in the last round, he got 23 votes. we have had mps come over to us. we are confident he is going to do well this afternoon. ijust had an mp stopped me before i came to this interview saying he is now going to support sajid javid. and his message, which is sort of telling the conservative party some home truths, and interesting to stick it where he talked about if the conservative party had kept the support that it had to black and ethnic minority voters, then actually they would have done much better in 2017. does it take somebody like him though, he can be the messenger, but does it need to be him at the need to make that happen? he has made the point, does the contest want to be a kind of semifinal of university challenge,

or does it want to reflect modern britain? we should notjust tolerate modern britain, we should be the party that loves modern britain. that reaches out to different communities and interesting the polling shows high recognition of boroughs, he scores incredibly higher... he speaks for modern britain. it is vital that is a proper contest, it is notjust between two different public school ties, but actually somebody who went to bristol technical college, as sajid javid did, came from a humble background but embodies the concept of dream. do you think it is a slight problem that paris is seen to be so far ahead? if you get your colleagues, there is a few of them backing borisjohnson to a year ago did not have a good word to say about him. it is a problem for the rest of the candidates because eve ryo ne rest of the candidates because everyone fixes going to be the winner? he is a big beast, he has been mayor of london and he has a

big following in the party. what we are saying it there needs to be a proper contest, it is notjust about eating versus house, the semifinals of open university. actually a real contest that reflects the best of the conservative party, the best of paris and the best of somebody like sajid javid who embodies that dream, who embodies modern britain who has struggled and worked his way up from nothing. —— the best of boris. more funding for schools and his record and colleges and will deliver that vital brexit. this has been really a brexit leadership contest, hasn't it, of course exit has yet to be delivered? what would you like to see the next leader doing beyond brexit, if there can never be a beyond brexit? sajid javid has made the important point that we may look back and think brexit was the easy part, the real problems are beyond brexit, social

injustice in our country, education, skills, we need affordable housing, we have a million people living in overcrowded accommodation. sajid javid has talked about that and knows it well, having lived where he grew up in a flat with two, even though they were a family of seven above other small shop. of course dealing with social care. we have great issues, great issues facing out great issues, great issues facing our nation and we need to select a candidate that is notjust a sugar rush exit, better that is going to solve the problem and face the problem is that we face as a country. rory stewart has cut three not with conservative party members, he has done something very different, hasn't he? do you think that he is potentially taking support from sajid javid? that seems to be the talk amongst mps. we have identified the kind of people that are voting for robbery as people he went vote for robbery as people he went vote for sajid javid, there is a small constituency in the conservative party who want to stay in the

european union, want a second referendum and do not want us to leave without a deal come what may. those are the kind of people, a small amount, those are the kind of people that are voting for rory. sajid javid has said is going to get brexit over the line and deal with other issues facing our country. i am not surprised that rory is getting the votes and he has held an original campaign. thank you very much. all eyes at six o'clock will be on the committee room as they read out the results. whoever comes last does drop out of the race, plus anybody who does not make it to 33 votes. thank you very much. and a reminder, you can watch the announcement of who's through to the next round at six o'clock live on the bbc news channel. then two hours later, it's the first debate with all the candidates left standing for conservative leader and our next prime minister at 8 o'clock this evening on bbc one. there is an update out a man who threw a metric at nigel farage. he has been ordered to carry out i've

hundred and 50 hours of community service. he has been ordered to pay him £350 in compensation. this was the momentjust after the milkshake attack, it has become a term after the european parliamentary elections. the court was told by the prosecution at north tyneside magistrates‘ court that this is from the prosecutor, he said for the split—second mr fudge would not have known whether it was a harmless liquid or something in this day and age far more sinister —— like mr farage. thejudge took age far more sinister —— like mr farage. the judge took that into account and he told the court he was an act of crass stupidity. numerous members of parliament have been subject to death threats and

harassment, since the brexit,. the milkshake thrower said it was an active process against people like mr farage. heathrow airport has published details of what it calls its "masterplan" for expansion, which will take place over 30 years and include a third runway by 2026. the proposals require diverting rivers, moving roads, and re—routing the m25 through a tunnel under the new runway. heathrow‘s expansion has been highly controversial, particularly with local communities. the plans are now open to public consultation for three months. our transport tom burridge reports. it‘s crowded at europe‘s biggest airport. this is the queue to get off the tarmac. 99% of landing and take—off slots at britain‘s main airport are full. not only are the planes queueing up to take off, they‘re queueing up in the sky to get in. a plane will arrive or leave

heathrow every 45 seconds. it‘s why heathrow says it needs a third runway. and this is what the airport hopes it will look like. the new runway will run over a new section of the busy m25. 761 homes will be demolished, their owners compensated. local roads will be moved, rivers diverted. a new low—emission zone around heathrow could mean additional charges for many vehicles. and the airport hopes it will be linked up to great western and southern rail. a third runway would potentially mean an extra 260,000 flights per year. environmental groups say we should be containing air travel, not expanding it. we are in a climate emergency and heathrow is already the biggest single source of greenhouse gases in the uk. it‘s time we stop investing further into climate—wrecking airports and invest in our railways and better transport networks. noise pollution is also a major

concern for local residents. heathrow says it will increase by an hour and a half the period overnight when flights are not scheduled. it says its terminals and ground operations will be carbon neutral by next year. one of the things we‘ll be producing as part of the consultation today is our preliminary environmental impact assessment, which sets out the implications from an air quality, noise, and carbon perspective. they are really important factors and we have worked hard to make sure that we mitigate those. and, clearly, we won‘t be able to expand unless we deliver on those environmental limits. heathrow says a third runway will boost our economy post brexit, with freight capacity greatly increased. it also plans to develop terminals 2 and 5 to cope with additional traffic. like terminal 3‘s automated baggage zone, every part of heathrow is under pressure. but there is now a blueprint

for expansion on the table. the airport hopes work will begin in 2022. tom burridge, bbc news, at heathrow. with me now is paul beckford from the stop heathrow expansion campaign. ido i do not need to ask you where you are coming on on this, but the proposals on limiting night flights and to bring their son gradually mitigate in some way the argument against the whole expansion?” mitigate in some way the argument against the whole expansion? i am not sure they mitigate it in that regard, heathrow are doing that in stages because it makes it more affordable for them. the key point here is the sheer scale of what they are proposing, it is not adding on a ru nway to are proposing, it is not adding on a runway to a new epoch, it is adding a new apple and all the additional infrastructure —— adding a new airport. you describe it as blight, others describe it as opportunity.

the country needs it as an infrastructure, it was a project that will provide manyjobs, there are huge positives that there is. potentially, but i think if you look at the work the government has done and the economic proposal, they showed that over a six—year period, when you cut the cost and the benefits are not just when you cut the cost and the benefits are notjust the greater the gdp, because in terms of the environment, you are looking at 3 billion over 60 years. there is a risk, cost of two 2 million to the economy as a result of this proposal. do we work on the proposal that things can only get better in terms of impact on the environment? the plains will get quieter, they will become economically better value and less damaging to the climate? that has been some great work done by travellers, we looked at the proposal for electric aircraft and those in in the manufacture, 15% reduction in carbon emissions from a natural —— electric

flights. much of the car borne producers from the car is travelling to the apple, this is something they are aiming to target. better public transport, less need to drive to the airport. they should put their money where their mouth is. this is not a cheap project. it is not, but they have a target of 45% of travelling public accessing the airport but this year they only had 41%. i do not think anyone can have faith that they will hit the targets as they indicate. it must be awful for anyone who is directly affected by this, and isn‘t there an argument, whatever the decision is, let‘s make a decision so those that will be blighted can act now? they have got time to do so. i think having information is important but the way he there engages with the local committees is quite aggressive in some instances, i think knowing it is coming does

not make it any better. the destruction of committees that have been there for a long time, because you know that something is going to happen does not make the pain any more bearable. is there any good in the proposal? perhaps there is a nugget in that that i have not been able to take out just yet, i that i have not been able to take outjust yet, i will have to wait and see about that. in terms of the argument for a third runway, have they won that argument? ido runway, have they won that argument? i do not think so, no. i think there are strong arguments in the climbing emergency we are facing, that we should be making use of existing ru nway should be making use of existing runway capacity. there is runway capacity otherwise to lock it into the south—east, and we could be spending that in viable projects elsewhere. one local mp said he would lie in front of the first bulldozer that tried to do this, he could be the next prime minister. potentially,

yes. he apparently has changed his mind. i am not sure that is true, what was reported he was asked about it and he said parliament had voted for the proposal, which is true. i think that the statement of fact. i understand he is still committed to opposing it. that is something you would have to put him at the appropriate time, perhaps later this evening. if it was me doing it, i will pass it on. thank you very much. you‘re watching afternoon live, these are our headlines: the next stage in the tory leadership and downing street. the party starts voting in a second ballot later this afternoon. heathrow reveals the next stages in its expansion plans. two teenage neo—nazis who encouraged a attack on prince harry for manning and mixed—race women jailed for terrorism offences. sport, eoin morgan hit 17 sixes on his way to the century and a huge

total for the hose against afghanistan. newcastle united boss is the subject ofa newcastle united boss is the subject of a £12 million offerfrom newcastle united boss is the subject of a £12 million offer from the chinese super league club. waiting on the weather of day two at queen‘s club where britton‘s dan evans prepares to face his opponent. i will be back with more of those stories that have passed. the former head of football‘s european governing body, michel platini, is being questioned by french police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. the decision to name qatar as host in 2010 has been dogged by allegations of corruption. our sports correspondent jane dougall is in paris. just tell us what is happening at the moment. it has been reported that michel platini was brought her to this building behind me, the ministry of the interior, and within that building of the anti—corruption

body, it is believe they are questioning michel platini following the decision to award qatar with the 2022 world cup. his lawyer has left the building but as yet, we have not seen any sign of michel platini himself. a spokesperson has issued a statement, in french so i will paraphrase it. they have said it is no way in and rest, he has been questioned for technical reasons, he is answering the questions put to him, he has nothing to reproach himself over and he is absolutely confident as the outcome. if you remember when qatar was awarded with the 2022 world cup, it was quite a shock, this was back in 2010. one of the reasons was because of the blazing cabbages in the summer that would be practically impossible for footballers to pay in. —— the blazing temperatures. it will be played in the winter months now. the concern was the lack of human rights in qatar as well. following investigations into the decisions,

16 of the 2a members of the executive committee of fifa have either been struck off, suspended or remain under investigation, and now we have bans answering questions on the issue. let us talk about michel platini because in france, he is a hero. a huge rich history. this is something of another ball from grace, he is quite a figurehead in football. he was captain of the french team in his playing heyday. he was instrumental in organising the 1998 world cup which was hosted by france, when france won the competition for the first time ever, seem to be hugely successful and a lot of that was attributed to him. he then became head of uefa in europe in 2007, but then in 2015, michel platini was banned from football by fifa and i was after judgment by the ethics committee,

along with the former president of fifa, following a conflict of interest. after he had appealed to the court of arbitration for sport, that ban was reduced to four years. at the time, it was hugely disgraceful for at the time, it was hugely disgracefulfor him for at the time, it was hugely disgraceful for him for that to have happened to him. today, you cannot say, along the pavement that is a huge amount of french media waiting to see whether he emerges from the police officers behind me or not. the ban that he was given is due to expire fairly soon and the women‘s world cup is being hosted in france which means that fifa is in town, settling in paris anyway, so it means the questioning of michel platini at this time is pretty timely. i shall talk to you again later. thank you very much. the berlin senate has approved plans to freeze rent in the german capital for the next five years. it‘s been closely watched by other cities around the world. last week new york passed a sweeping

overhaul of its laws, making it much harderfor landlords to raise rents. let‘s go to berlin now and speak tojenny hill. this was a controversial decision, was it? yes, very much so, no one is sure how to go about tackling the rise in rents here in berlin. i‘ve had a look at the figures this morning. in seven years, rental prices here have doubled. there is enormous pressure on the city to provide affordable housing, it is reckoned that belling needs 100,000 new flats kind of now. there is a lot of pressure on the authorities. the balance senate have decided they wa nt to the balance senate have decided they want to go ahead and try to impose this ban on increasing rent forfive yea rs. this ban on increasing rent forfive years. that will be have voted on by the big original parliament later in the big original parliament later in the year once the draft proposals are ready. but that is being looked ahead to hear in berlin because people are very concerned. in fact, it is being look forward to the extent that already tenants are saying that their rents are being picked up ahead of any legislation

actually being put into practice. some landlords are actually advising other landlords to get in quickly and get their rents heightened before they are not able to do so anymore. while i have either, some concerns about angela merkel who appeared very shaky at a public event recently? she was greeting the new ukrainian peasant who had come for his first visit her. she was stood out on a red carpet, one day in berlin. —— ukrainian president. she seemed to shake violently and uncontrollably while the national anthems were played. at a press conference she appears to be in full health, she was smiling, she said she had been dehydrated. she said she had been dehydrated. she said she had been dehydrated. she said she had drunk three glasses of water and that seem to be the problem, and now she was fine. it said at the news editors on edge as people watch, they were rather alarming pictures. thank you very much.

now time for a look at the weather. it is warm in berlin, what about the rest of us? tell me where you will start. iam i am starting on last week‘s weather. i will get the retaliation and before you start. i have done this work before you before. it is a comparison of mechanisms if you like between what happened last week and what we suspect is going to go on within the next 24—hour is. i am not paid by the minute, i assure you. you are not wrong! this weather front got stuck, that is the problem. a big area of low pressure sitting there and that is the weather front that produced a couple of months worth of rain in the lincolnshire area with all of its consequences, and that was really very unusual indeed. what we are about to see within the next 2a was also is a completely different

mechanism. that was a low pressure, the frontal system got stuck. we are inputting warm air, a bit more moisture getting in there, it is coming up towards the british isles and asa coming up towards the british isles and as a consequence, we have already seen some rain, no great issues there, but within the midst of this, when i darken up those colours, that is where we have already had some thunderstorm activity and that is the issue for the next 2a hours or so. it is not a frontal system getting stuck, it dishi frontal system getting stuck, it dish i was coming up on that mild, moist and the safe from —— humid. it is landing on grad that is saturated. the met office have already got a weather warning extensively across the greater part of england. somewhere is going to get 50 millimetres, that is the nature of the beast. somewhere? can

you be more specific? no. charlatan would say yes, i am too honest for my own good. i am not going to be bullied into saying specifics just to amuse simon. muddy and sitting across the quarter, a different kettle of fish in the northern half of the british isles. here we are into wednesday and there are still issues at this point because this great arm of cloud and rain and when, hail and thunderstorms will ta ke when, hail and thunderstorms will take an eternity before it gradually eases its way towards the eastern side of the british isles. scotland and northern ireland, fresh feel from the atlantic here, scattering of showers, one or two sharp once there, but that weather front is going to be the mechanism that eventually takes that threat at the moist, muggy air away from the british isles and then we all end up in that cooler regime. by the time we get through to thursday, we can all breathe a bit of a sigh of relief, low pressure still close by, the northern end of the british as,

fresher atlantic air coming in, showers again. further south, a dry regime for shore across much of england and wales and a decent day for the outdoors. the temperatures roundabout 20 celsius. it may well be that we are ending up with a weekend with high—pressure on, and weekend with high—pressure on, and we forget about labour —— for a time at least, where we eventually end up with something a little bit quieter and a little bit more stable in the atmosphere. in the short term, we have to band in mind that —— bear in mind the weather warning. rush hour this evening, looks at them may be problems. what i am more concerned about i suspect is the amount of water that may just lie suspect is the amount of water that mayjust lie on the ground as we get on through the rest of tonight and through the rest of tomorrow. it could be the morning rush that could bea could be the morning rush that could be a real issue. wejust could be the morning rush that could be a real issue. we just bear that one in mind. if you are moving through the next sort of 18 hours or

so, before that weather fronts winds its way across the british isles, then i think you have got to bear in mind the greater part of the midlands, eastern england, the southern counties, even if it is not raining with you, you might end up with a lot of surface water and spray. but as that forecast has already intimated, we may well end up already intimated, we may well end up in already intimated, we may well end upina already intimated, we may well end up in a situation by thursday friday where things are quieter because many parts of the british isles, so we could well be in the clear by that stage. in the short term, take care.

this is bbc news. our latest headlines — half an hour to go — from three o‘clock, conservative mps take part in a secret ballot. with borisjohnson the clear frontrunner, the focus is on who else goes through. the remaining candidates will take part in a televised debate here on the bbc tonight, facing questions from you. "we want to make it a runway success." heathrow airport unveils its expansion plans for a third runway, including re—routing a river and the m25. the teenage neo—nazis, who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a mixed—race womanjailed for terrorism offences. the former head of uefa michel platini is questioned by french police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. he says he‘s done absolutely nothing wrong. and coming up — would you be happy to pay an extra

penny for clothes? we hearfrom a campaign group who say this could help better fund recycling fashion. now we go to damienjohnson, looking at the world cup cricket and a record day for the england captain. he was a doubt for this match, back spasm in the lead up to it, but it has been a record—breaking day for england‘s cricketers and eoin morgan. they have dispatched afghanistan and city world record for those hitting a one—day match. he smashed his way to 17 in total. no one has evidence that before. made of an innings of 148 off 71 balls. it was also the fourth fastest century ever scored at a world cup. and you would think that

afghanistan will get close to the scar. margot did eventually get out, but what a treat this morning for those lucky enough to be in manchester. i wish i had been there myself! you can follow england‘s match with afghanistan across the bbc today. coverage has started over on test match special on 5live sports extra and you can see in play video clips on the bbc sport website. i wish i had been there too! you and i have to crack on. and now rafa benitez, a man in demand. you remember a great job benitez, a man in demand. you remember a greatjob he did add a new castle keeping them up on a low budget and a poor squad, but he has been offered £12 million a year to ta ke has been offered £12 million a year to take over as manager. 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 talks had broken down. bowyer led them to the championship this season with victory in the league one play—off final. manchester city are in talks with atletico madrid over their spanish international. the boss is keen to signa international. the boss is keen to sign a defensively minded player. they are a way of the 22—year—old‘s 66.2 million release class and have said they are willing to pay. no deal has been done yet, with bayern munich also showing interest. if the tra nsfer munich also showing interest. if the transfer goes though it would break the club‘s record they paid for riyad mahrez 12 months ago. scotland are preparing for their vital women‘s world cup match with argentina tomorrow, victory could send them into the last 16 as one of

the best third placed teams despite losing 2—1 to england and japan. the goals are scored could prove to be the difference. i always thought when we came here that three points would probably, depending on goal difference, might be enough, and i think that is still going to be the case, it is certainly heading that way, so we definitely looking at scenario planning and what the other groups are looking like. i think most coaches will do the same. rain has delayed the start of play at queens. the covers are on centre court. dan evans should be first up against stan wawrinka. kyle edmund faces stefanos tsitsipas later. the former world welterweight champion has denied speculation he is about to record tyre. he has not fired since december and does not have a confirmed contest on the

horizon with his long hoped—for fight against army can having failed to materialise. this prompted some speculation of his future but he says he is not about to hang up his gloves just yet. he posted on social media, i have not retired, i have had some time away from the ring, but me and my team have been proactively looking to secure big fights. if they can be made, then i would love nothing more than to dance again under them bright lights. that is on the spot for now. martin the next hour. two neo—nazi teenagers, who suggested prince harry should be shot for marrying a woman of mixed race, have been jailed for encouraging terrorism. the pair were members of the sonnenkrieg division, an extreme revolutionary nazi group exposed by bbc news in december. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford reports. some of the most violent nazi propaganda to emerge in britain. internet posts calling for women who mix with other races to be killed, and for attacks on the police.

there was even a post — which we‘re not showing — suggesting prince harry should be shot as a race traitor. the group responsible, sonnenkrieg division, was set up last year, but was exposed by a bbc news investigation. the men were arrested the next day. the group encourage followers to join a violent race war. they were encouraging others online to commit terrorist attacks and of course it only takes one individual to be encouraged or be inspired by that propaganda to take that further step. today, michal szewczuk — a computer science student from leeds responsible for many of the posts — was sentenced to four years, three months in prison. in a blog he‘d also encouraged followers to rape and slaughter women.

but when we caught up with him, he seemed less keen to make the same comments on camera. why were you running an account saying women and babies should be raped? no comment. do you think prince harry should be killed ? no comment. are you looking forward to going to jail? no comment. anything else? no more refugees! oskar dunn—koczorowski, seen here in the centre of a neo—nazi march, was jailed for 18 months. he had previously been a member of the banned group national action, and did fight training with other former members. on the sonnenkrieg social media account he wrote... oskar, why did you think that prince harry was a race traitor? again, he seemed less brave when the camera was running. so you‘re happy to post about nazis on the internet but you‘re not prepared to admit it on camera?

the uk group sonnenkrieg division was linked to this ultra—extreme nazi group... race war now! ..from the united states, called atomwaffen division, that encourages lone—wolf attacks and has been linked to five murders in the us. their ideology is viewed as the most violent revolutionary right—wing extremism. daniel sanford, bbc news. the inquest into the london bridge attacks two years ago has heard that an independent report commissioned by city of london police weeks earlier, warned of almost exactly the kind of attack that was carried out. eight people were killed when three men drove into pedestrians before stabbing people in borough market. our correspondent richard lister sent this report from outside the old bailey this report was commissioned by the city of london police just after the westminster bridge attack in march 2017, and city of london police were trying to find out where other targets might be vulnerable, what other

places might be at risk. they commissioned a security company to look into that. their employees carried out surveillance at various high profile points in london and concluded that london bridge was a viable option for terrorists wishing to carry out an attack, and especially a vehicle attack. they went on to say in the report, published in april 2017, that the southern end of the bridge represented an attractive location in which to attack bystanders with a bladed weapon after crashing the vehicle. that is almost exactly what happened injune 2017. questioned about this report today on the stand was the witness who has been on there for most of the morning, deputy assistant commissioner of the metropolitan police, lucy dorsey, in charge of special operations in london and nationally. she said she was not aware of the report because it had been commissioned by city of london police. she said even if she had been aware of the report,

she probably would not have been rushing to put barriers out because she said those who wrote the report did not have access to the kind of intelligence that she had to make assessments about what places were at greatest risk. she said it was that intelligence which deemed where it was important to put security operations in place to resist the kind of attack this report talks about. she is still on the stand at the moment. the former egyptian president mohamed morsi has been buried in cairo after he collapsed and died in court yesterday. the country‘s first democratically elected president had been in prison for six years after his overthrow by the army in 2013. the 67—year—old was buried at a cemetery in the egyptian capital after his family was denied a public funeral in his hometown. a man who threw milkshake over nigel farage has been ordered to pay the brexit party leader compensation. paul crowther, from newcastle on tyne, threw the drink

during the european election campaign when nigel farage was visiting the city. the districtjudge ordered him carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and pay mr farage £350 in compensation. more weather warnings have been put in place as thunderstorms, torrential rain and flooding look set to batter parts of the uk. some flood—hit communities, such as wainfleet in lincolnshire, could face further damage and 600 homes have been evacuated. alison freeman reports. all eyes are on the river as the threat of more rain looms. a crack has been seen in the banks of the steeping near to this hole which has already been plugged. two months‘ worth of rain fell in just two days in the lincolnshire town of wainfleet. almost 600 homes had to be evacuated. pretty horrendous, really. there was water up to our chest when we last went in. lost everything in the house. jean and kevin were shocked at the speed at which the water came into their home. they had just finished renovating

and say it will take another year to restore it to its former state. very, very sad, obviously, you know. we‘ve never had anything like this happen before, but we just had to get out, so we did. the water level in wainfleet has dropped over the past few days, but with another spell of heavy rain forecast tonight and tomorrow — up to five centimetres on already sodden ground — people are very worried about what will happen to their homes. they're very angry. we've got a lot of people around here who are angry, and rightly so. they've lost their homes. so we're trying to get everything in place. district council, we've got skips, we've got people coming to help. so hopefully, you know, we can all pull together again. around 40 tonnes of water per second are being pumped away, but it‘s not known if it will be enough. the next 24 to 48 hours is a really important time for us. we are keeping a critical eye on, and we hope to get people back in their homes as quickly as possible.

if the rain does materialise, residents are being warned it‘s likely they‘ll need to stay away from their homes until at least the end of next week. alison freeman, bbc news. thousands of passengers have faced disruption at the start of a five—day strike by south western railway workers. long queues formed outside surbiton station in south—west london, while commuters waited to board trains. members of the rail, maritime and transport union have walked out in an ongoing dispute over planned changes to the role of guards on trains. services have been cancelled or disrupted — and the stoppage coincides with royal ascot. tv presenterjeremy kyle has turned down an invitation to give evidence to the commons committee investigating reality tv. itv axed thejeremy kyle show in may, following the death of participant steve dymond. the select commitee will question the chief executive of itv next week, along with the executive director of the jeremy kyle show

and the show‘s director of aftercare. lives are being lost and destroyed by the failure of the nhs in england to provide care for people with eating disorders, mps and campaigners say. more than a million people have an eating disorder, but specialist help is often difficult to access, leaving patients relying on gps who lack the skills and training to help. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. for the past decade, hannah has lived with an eating disorder. it‘s a potentially very serious condition, and yet she struggled to get the help she needed. there was a long wait, actually, when i was 19, to get help. so the wait was about six months for some cbt group therapy, and by that point, that wasn‘t really sufficient. and also, within six months i was extremely unwell, and by that point i was having, you know, suicide attempts. for those suffering with an eating disorder, getting treatment quickly is vital. but the eating disorder charity beat says, last year,

one in five adults in england had to wait longer than 18 weeks, while one in ten had to wait for more than than 24 weeks. the average waiting time in england was nine weeks, but the charity says patients face a postcode lottery for treatment. what we found was that, for some areas, people are being seen within two weeks. for others, they‘re waiting almost six months. it‘s a real variety across the country, and that‘s having detrimental impacts upon people‘s health. i think the real issue is bringing in some waiting time directives, like we've had in children and young people, alongside lobbying for funding from the government which, hopefully, the report from parliament will support and encourage and help implement. for those like hannah, who are living with an eating disorder, a clear understanding of their illness is key. but a report from a committee of mps says the training medical students receive can amount to just a few hours. they warn that, without better training and more joined—up services to help people like hannah, the nhs is risking avoidable deaths.

dominic hughes, bbc news. for details of organisations which offer advice and support with eating disorders, go online to bbc dot co dot uk first, our headlines this afternoon. the next stage in the context far the... a secret ballot shortly. two teenage neo—nazis who encouraged an attack on prince harry are jailed for terrorism offences. the former head of uefa is questioned by french police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. he says he‘s done nothing wrong. here‘s your business

headlines on afternoon live. heathrow airport will build a third ru nway heathrow airport will build a third runway by 2026 and complete expansion by 2050. that is according to the masterplan it published today. expansion is facing intense opposition, but the air but says it is carrying out extensive consultations. 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". facebook plans to launch a new digital currency, called libra, next year. it‘ll allow payments via its own apps or through whatsapp. it‘s the latest big tech firm to get into payment services. what are you doing without a suit once we have an affair? i will keep it for a long time! mps are calling for action, an end to the era of throwaway fashion. you

will be aware that over the last few yea rs, will be aware that over the last few years, you have seen a rise of people buying cheap clothes, wearing them a few times and chucking them away. i‘m not counting myself of that, of course! the environmental audit committee of mps looked at this and found simply too many clothes are being thrown away at rome burned, not just clothes are being thrown away at rome burned, notjust by us, but by companies getting rid of unwanted stock. it also found that cheap clothes, when you wash them, lots of fibres end up being washed up in dc, which is not great for the environment. they also found that serve the production processes really boost greenhouse gases. what they are asking is... to change our ways? andrea speranza is head of campaigns for traid. she sat on the committee. what is it you are asking the government to do?

many things. we are living in an era of climate change and the current business model of the fashion industry is intrinsically unsustainable and must change. the government should be putting in place legislation to encourage buying less, buying better and buying less, buying better and buying more second—hand clothes. they should also be putting in place legislation to encourage more repairing and reusing our clothes and with taylors or produces which generate waste should pay for it. at the moment this is not happening and charities like us, we are playing a key role in tackling this problem, but the government should also be implementing policies and legislation which encourage and push retailers to do the right thing for the environment. injust

retailers to do the right thing for the environment. in just a retailers to do the right thing for the environment. injust a couple retailers to do the right thing for the environment. in just a couple of weeks ago, we have the uk parliament declaring climate emergency, and we are talking about a industry which generated more to climate change than the aviation and shipping combined. the government should be doing something now. you talk a lot about encouraging a change in consumer behaviour. does that mean imposing higher prices, somehow getting us to spend more and buy less? first above, there is is very little understanding as consumers of the challenge of the clothing industry. fourin challenge of the clothing industry. four in ten people, they don‘t know the environmental impact of consuming clothes and also at 46% do not know the environmental benefits of reusing clothes. so retailers and the government should raise more awareness about these issues and

when people come and experience we have where we run campaigns and educational department is with the consumers knowing the impact on the options, they tend to use the right thing for the environment. thank you so much indeed forjoining us. shall we have a look at the markets? the ftse is doing well. ftse is on the rise — after comments by the head of the european central bank that he could act to stimulate the eurozone economy. that is helped with rio tinto, with the big mining companies making profit. brent accrued also up. now some breaking news, there has been an earthquake off the coast of japan which has resulted in a tsunami advice. according to one report, this is the japanese

meteorological agency, the earthquake was of a magnitude of 6.8, we are hearing from the american geological survey, they put it at 6.5, but it struck off the coast of japan, no it at 6.5, but it struck off the coast ofjapan, no major it at 6.5, but it struck off the coast of japan, no major reports of damage or casualties at this time was a bit hit about 53 miles north—east of the island of honshu. but there has been the issuing of a tsunami warning along the north—west coast of the main island. we will keep an eye on that, it may develop through the afternoon. you are watching afternoon live. 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. where 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 to do 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 start 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. now brake and then run the white line, in we go. feed the power in. going 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. 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. and now phil avery is up the stairs and can bring us the weatherfrom up

there. thank you very much indeed, no expense spared. have a look at the same story, wherever i present it from. there is no doubt about it. the headlines will be made of the next 24 hours for some of the british isles about the rainfall where it may not be needed as well. that has been the heart of our concern since the weekend. this plume of cloud has worked its way from iberia and introducing a muggy start of a field across the southern counties just at the moment and it has produced lots of rain. we have had the odd rumble of rain. we have had the odd rumble of thunder then up to the south coast. some of the heavier pulses could work through the midlands, east anglia and up into it lincolnshire and that is part of the reason for our concerns. and it turns quieter, but not getting suckered by that, because it then ru ns suckered by that, because it then runs into wednesday as well.

somewhere in there, it could get up to 50 millimetres of rain before we had done and dusted with this particular system. this is the way we expect to see it working overnight, you might get woken up about some of thunder during the night, the odd heavy down pour and the potential for heavy rain. that is why the whining continues at pace through the day because this whole banner of cloud and rain in what will be a muggy start to the day across the south, it will gradually work its way a little bit further towards the east. if you have ever had downpours overnight, you may step out to dry weather, but don‘t forget that there will be lots of surface water and spray around. the local radio keeping you up—to—date on potential flooding. local radio keeping you up—to—date on potentialflooding. much fresher across the north and a decent sort of day away from the showers for scotland, western scotland, northern ireland. this banner of cloud and rain with some thunderstorms will

ta ke rain with some thunderstorms will take a rain with some thunderstorms will takea time rain with some thunderstorms will take a time before it eases towards the east allowing brighter conditions in the west of england and wales to finish the afternoon. thursday, it is quieter. not necessarily close to the low pressure which is still dominant in the north west of scotland with heavy showers in northern ireland, fewer showers to be part across the greater part of england and wales and a top temperature on the day of about 20. it will feel a bit fresher, that is how we get through friday and into the first part of the weekend, where there will be lots of dry weather around and may be something of a crumble with maine getting into the western side of the british isles during the course of sunday.

hello, you‘re watching afternoon live — i‘m simon mccoy. today at 3: conservative mps begin voting in a second secret ballot to choose their new leader. with borisjohnson the clear frontrunner, the focus is on who else goes through. the remaining candidates will take part in a televised debate, here on the bbc — tonight — facing questions from you. we want to make it a runway success. heathrow airport unveils its expansion plans for a third runway, including rerouting a river, and the m25. the teenage neo—nazis, who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a mixed—race woman — jailed for terrorism offences. the former head of uefa michel platini is questioned by french police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. he says he‘s done absolutely nothing wrong.

coming up on afternoon live all the sport — damienjohnson. and a world record 17 sixes for england‘s captain eoin morgan on his way to a century as the hosts dominate afghanistan in the world cup at old trafford. thanks, damien. and phil avery has the weather. lively weather. the next few hours, right into wednesday, the chance of thunderstorms across a good portion of england where we could see in some locations up to 50 millimetres of rain. more details with you in the studio in the next few minutes. thanks, phil. also coming up — clean up your act. the fashion industry is told to put an end to the era of throwaway clothes and poor working conditions hello, everyone, this is afternoon live. i‘m simon mccoy. the race to become

conservative leader and prime minister intensifies in the next few hours with a second round of voting by mps on the six remaining candidates. they‘ll be knocked out if they come last, or if they fail to secure at least 10% of the vote — that‘s 33 supporters. those who get through will take part in a live bbc debate this evening. it will be a chance to scrutinise the frontunner boris johnson, who‘s almost certain to make it through — he‘s refused to take part in a tv debate at the weekend, and a westminster hustings yesterday. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. who will win the race to call this place home? no shortage of ministers with eyes on the top job. are you looking forward to the debate, sir? jeremy hunt wants it, so do michael gove and sajid javid. and rory stewart thinks he has got momentum in the race to succeed theresa may. reporter: are you feeling confident? "i am feeling good," he replies. this is the man to beat. reporter: is it your race

to lose, mrjohnson? silent again leaving home this morning. but he is hoovering up support in parliament. i think he is the best placed to get us out of the eu at the end of october. so his view and mine is very closely aligned, there. and secondly, i do believe he is an election winner. i think he is someone who can bring the country and the party back together. this afternoon, in here, tory mps will hold their second vote. at least one leadership hopeful will drop out, and it could be more. candidates will need the backing of 33 mps. borisjohnson is safe. he is miles ahead. jeremy hunt and michael gove should have enough support. but it will be close for rory stewart, sajid javid and dominic raab. mr stewart admits it will be tight but he wants the opportunity to take on borisjohnson. half the people in his campaign have got the impression that he intends to leave on the 31st of october with no deal. and the other half of the people in his campaign seem to have got the impression

he is going for the softest of soft brexits. the reason it alarms me is that the only way we are going to have stability in our government, country and party is if people trust us. sajid javid says his party needs to show it reflects modern britain. if we end up in a situation where the final two, three, four are people of similar backgrounds... public school, oxbridge, all that? yes. it'll look like a debate at the oxford union. ijust don't think that is healthy for the tory party. michael gove is adamant his bid to be pm has not run out of steam. a shower and a change of clothes later... i am feeling confident. i am looking forward to a good debate with the other candidates later and looking forward to making a case for a positive conservative vision, to ensure that we get a good brexit deal and that we reform this country for the better. have i been overtaken by rory stewart? he certainly hopes not. everyone who makes it through this afternoon‘s vote will be here tonight for the bbc debate. it will be the first debate that borisjohnson has taken part in in public,

and inevitably the other candidates will want to put pressure on the front runner over his brexit plans, over his policies, over what he wants to do in number 10. tonight, voters across the uk will be let in on the debate. policies will be tested, minds could change, even in a race where the result sometimes feels like a foregone conclusion. nick eardley, bbc news. and a reminder, you can watch the announcement of who‘s through to the next round just after six o‘clock live on the bbc news channel. then two hours later it‘s the first debate with all the candidates left standing for conservative leader and our next prime minister at eight o‘clock this evening on bbc one. heathrow airport has published details of what it calls its "masterplan" for expansion, which will take place over 30 years and include a third runway by 2026. the proposals require diverting rivers, moving roads, and rerouting the m25 through a tunnel under the new runway. heathrow‘s expansion has been highly controversial, particularly with local communities. the plans are now open to public

consultation for three months. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. it‘s crowded at europe‘s biggest airport. this is the queue to get off the tarmac. 99% of landing and take—off slots at britain‘s main airport are full. not only are the planes queueing up to take off, they‘re queueing up in the sky to get in. a plane will arrive or leave heathrow every 45 seconds. it‘s why heathrow says it needs a third runway. and this is what the airport hopes it will look like. the new runway will run over a new section of the busy m25. 761 homes will be demolished, their owners compensated. local roads will be moved, rivers diverted. a new low—emission zone around heathrow could mean additional charges for many vehicles. and the airport hopes it will be linked up to great western and southern rail.

a third runway would potentially mean an extra 260,000 flights per year. environmental groups say we should be containing air travel, not expanding it. we are in a climate emergency and heathrow is already the biggest single source of greenhouse gases in the uk. it‘s time we stop investing further into climate—wrecking airports and invest in our railways and better transport networks. noise pollution is also a major concern for local residents. heathrow says it will increase by an hour and a half the period overnight when flights are not scheduled. it says its terminals and ground operations will be carbon neutral by next year. one of the things we‘ll be producing as part of the consultation today is our preliminary environmental impact assessment, which sets out the implications from an air quality, noise, and carbon perspective. they are really important factors and we have worked hard to make sure that we mitigate those. and, clearly, we won‘t be able

to expand unless we deliver on those environmental limits. heathrow says a third runway will boost our economy post brexit, with freight capacity greatly increased. it also plans to develop terminals two and five to cope with additional traffic. like terminal 3‘s automated baggage zone, every part of heathrow is under pressure. but there is now a blueprint for expansion on the table. the airport hopes work will begin in 2022. tom burridge, bbc news, at heathrow. parmjit dhanda is with me, he‘s executive director of the back heathrow campaign. he welcomes this development, but it is still a lot of disruption for yea rs is still a lot of disruption for years to come. it will cause some disruption but if you think about it, the size of this project, 180,000 newjobs and 10,000 apprenticeships, we have been

talking about it for decades, as the film says. in that time, the time between now and 2025, the chinese will build on gen 13 new civil airports. we were talking about one ru nway airports. we were talking about one runway in the south—east of england. all of the airports is that capacity, 90% capacity in the case of heathrow. if the chinese can do it, why can‘t we? of heathrow. if the chinese can do it, why can't we? exactly, we take a long time, we plan, we consult, we do it properly. and this is part of the process to do it properly. you can argue it should be done quicker thanit can argue it should be done quicker than it has been done. the difference between this project and any other project, we are looking at one of the most highly populated parts, and that has to be taken into populated parts, and that has to be ta ken into account. populated parts, and that has to be taken into account. we are talking about hundreds of lives been disrupted by this. what you are talking about is a project that also benefits local communities in terms ofjobs, apprenticeships. benefits local communities in terms of jobs, apprenticeships. let‘s benefits local communities in terms ofjobs, apprenticeships. let‘s not forget, if you look at the

independent polling locally, in the five boroughs around heathrow airport, that has a ways been a majority of people who support this. you can break that down at a constituency level, there are more people who support this project than oppose it. i think it is not a bad thing to listen to local people. looking at the plans, huge areas for car parks. the promises we are going to bring down the number of cars using the airport. that would suggest that still could be huge change in the number of people accessing the airport, obviously. change in the number of people accessing the airport, obviouslym is part of the plans. they are eradicating a lot of the car park so there will be other car parks to ta ke there will be other car parks to take up some of that space. you are right. if we are going to increase capacity and this is a significant increase and the country needs it at a time of brexit, it needs to trade, this is the biggest port by value anywhere in the country now, then we do have to make some of these changes. what do you say to boris johnson, who could well be releasing the next prime minister he said he would lie in front of the bulldozers

and seen as a new then?” would lie in front of the bulldozers and seen as a new then? i am sure he will want to listen to his collea g u es will want to listen to his colleagues who overwhelmingly in parliament last june voted for this. in fact the majority of labour mps voted for this, the majority was 296, and bearing in mind we are hung parliament, we do not get a majority in anything these days. i think you should take that into consideration. we have been through the process, airport commission, lots of consultation, and vote in parliament and we have also been through a judicial process and he will know that his own local constituencies, and made surety of —— and majority of them are in favour of it too. what about the climate emergency we are dying, this does not seem to be on course with meeting many of the targets that have been announced. an industry that by definition almost damages the climate.” industry that by definition almost damages the climate. i agree with you. this needs to be part of that. those testing targets, this is

leading to a planning application. that planning application will have stringent targets, it needs to have in terms of air quality and noise. but this is also a great opportunity for our country because if we can expand this airport and keep it competitive, and keep it as the well‘s best hub airport, and it is showing a sign to the other countries, emerging economies like india and china and brazil, you can expand and you can meet the air quality targets, the noise targets on the carbon targets. that is what the apple commission suggested was possible. it is incumbent on heathrow to do it because if it does not happen, it can‘t have expansion. re—routing rivers, re—routing the m25, a lot of damage on the environment on the press as? we have wonderful engineers, i am sure moving the road will not be the end of the world. we are old enough to remember when they m25 was created and people saying it was a terrible

thing. it is all very doable with the engineering skills that we have out there. the process, like i say, will create thousands and thousands ofjobs, overall will create thousands and thousands of jobs, overall across will create thousands and thousands ofjobs, overall across the country through work with other airports as well on thejobs through work with other airports as well on the jobs that are going to be created, talking up to hundred thousand jobs. it has big support with the gmb, unite union, the tuc generally but also cbi as well. never had the m25 described as a road before, sometimes as a car park, but never a road. thank you for talking to us. you are watching afternoon live. michel platini, the former head of uefa, football‘s european governing body, is being questioned by french police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. his lawyer said the former france midfielder and three—time ballon d‘or winner had done nothing wrong. the decision to name qatar as host in 2010 has been dogged by allegations of corruption.

earlier i spoke to our correspondent jane dougal who is in paris for us. i started by asking her to re—cap what‘s happened today. here to this building behind me, the ministry of it has been reported that michel platini was brought here to this building behind me, the ministry of the interior, and within that building of the anti—corruption body, it is believe they are questioning michel platini following the decision to award qatar with the 2022 world cup. his lawyer has left the building but as yet, we have not seen any sign of michel platini himself. his spokesperson has issued a statement, in french, so i will paraphrase it. they have said it is in no way in an arrest, he has been questioned for technical reasons, he is answering the questions put to him, he has nothing to reproach himself over and he is absolutely confident as the outcome. if you remember when qatar was awarded with the 2022 world cup, it was quite a shock, this was back in 2010. one of the reasons was because of the blazing temperatures in the summer that would be practically impossible for

footballers to pay in. it will be played in the winter months now. another major concern was the lack of human rights in qatar as well. following investigations into the decisions, over the past few years, 16 of the 24 members of the executive committee of fifa have either been struck off, suspended or remain under investigation, and now we have platini answering questions on the issue. let us talk about michel platini because in france, he is a hero. a huge, rich history. this is something of another fall from grace, he is quite a figurehead in football. he was captain of the french team in his playing heyday. he was instrumental in organising the 1998 world cup, which was hosted by france, when france won the competition for the first time ever, it was seen to be hugely successful and a lot of that was attributed to him.

he then became head of uefa in europe in 2007, but then in 2015, michel platini was banned from football by fifa and that was after judgment by the ethics committee, along with the former president of fifa, following a conflict of interest. after he had appealed to the court of arbitration for sport, that ban was reduced to four years. at the time, it was hugely disgraceful for him for that to have happened to him. today, you cannot see, along the pavement there is a huge amount of french media waiting to see whether he emerges from the police offices behind me or not. the ban that he was given is due to expire fairly soon and the women‘s world cup is being hosted in france which means that fifa is in town, certainly in paris anyway, so it means the questioning of platini at this time is pretty timely. you‘re watching afternoon live, these are our headlines:

ago has heard that an independent report commissioned by city of london police weeks earlier, warned of almost exactly the kind of attack that was carried out. eight people were killed when three men drove into pedestrians before stabbing people in borough market. our correspondent richard lister sent this report from outside the old bailey. this report was commissioned by the city of london police just after the westminster bridge attack in march 2017, and city of london police were trying to find out where other targets might be vulnerable, what other places might be at risk. they commissioned a security company to look into that. their employees carried out surveillance at various high profile points in london and concluded that london bridge was a viable option for terrorists wishing to carry out an attack, and especially a vehicle attack. they went on to say in the report, published in april 2017, that the southern end of the bridge represented an attractive location in which to attack bystanders with a bladed weapon after crashing the vehicle. that is almost exactly

what happened injune 2017. questioned about this report today on the stand was the witness who has been on there for most of the morning, deputy assistant commissioner of the metropolitan police, lucy dorsey, in charge of special operations in london and nationally. she said she was not aware of the report because it had been commissioned by city of london police. she said even if she had been aware of the report, she probably would not have been rushing to put barriers out because she said those who wrote the report did not have access to the kind of intelligence that she had to make assessments about what places were at greatest risk. she said it was that intelligence which deemed where it was important to put security operations in place to resist the kind of attack this report talks about. she is still on the stand at the moment. richard lister reporting.

two neo—nazi teenagers, who suggested prince harry should be shot for marrying a woman of mixed race, have been jailed for encouraging terrorism. the pair were members of the sonnenkrieg division, an extreme revolutionary nazi group exposed by bbc news in december. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. some of the most violent nazi propaganda to emerge in britain. internet posts calling for women who mix with other races to be killed, and for attacks on the police. there was even a post — which we‘re not showing — suggesting prince harry should be shot as a race traitor. the group responsible, sonnenkrieg division, was set up last year, but was exposed by a bbc news investigation. the men were arrested the next day. the group encourage followers to join a violent race war. they were encouraging others online to commit terrorist attacks and of course it only takes one individual to be encouraged or be inspired by that propaganda

to take that further step. today, michal szewczuk — a computer science student from leeds responsible for many of the posts — was sentenced to four years, three months in prison. in a blog he‘d also encouraged followers to rape and slaughter women. but when we caught up with him, he seemed less keen to make the same comments on camera. why were you running an account saying women and babies should be raped? no comment. do you think prince harry should be killed ? no comment. are you looking forward to going to jail? no comment. anything else? no more refugees! oskar dunn—koczorowski, seen here in the centre of a neo—nazi march, was jailed for 18 months. he had previously been a member of the banned group national action, and did fight training with other former members.

on the sonnenkrieg social media account he wrote... oskar, why did you think that prince harry was a race traitor? again, he seemed less brave when the camera was running. so you‘re happy to post about nazis on the internet but you‘re not prepared to admit it on camera? the uk group sonnenkrieg division was linked to this ultra—extreme nazi group... race war now! ..from the united states, called atomwaffen division, that encourages lone—wolf attacks and has been linked to five murders in the us. their ideology is viewed as the most violent revolutionary right—wing extremism. daniel sandford, bbc news. two 14—year—old boys have been found guilty of the murder of 14—year—old schoolgirl ana kriegel in county dublin last year. one of the boys has also been found guilty of aggravated sexual assault. ana kriegel‘s body was found

in a disused farmhose —— farmhouse in the city in may last year. a pathologist concluded that the cause of her death was blunt force trauma to the head and neck. the two boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, both deny the charges. the berlin senate has approved plans to freeze rent in the german capital for the next five years. it‘s been closely watched by other cities around the world. last week new york passed a sweeping overhaul of its laws, making it much harderfor landlords to raise rents. earlier i spoke to our berlin correspondent, jenny hill, about the the city‘s rent increase. no—one is sure how to go about tackling the rise in rents here in berlin. i‘ve had a look at the figures this morning. in seven years, rental prices here have doubled. there is enormous pressure on the city to provide affordable housing, it is reckoned that berlin needs 100,000 new flats kind of now. there is a lot of pressure on the authorities. the berlin senate today have decided they want to go ahead and try to impose this ban

on increasing rent for five years. that will have to be voted on by the bigger regional parliament later in the year once the draft proposals are ready. but that is being looked ahead to here in berlin because people are very concerned. in fact, it is being looked forward to the extent that already tenants are saying that their rents are being put up ahead of any legislation actually being put into practice. some landlords are actually advising other landlords to get in quickly and get their rents heightened before they are not able to do so anymore. while i have you there, some concerns about angela merkel who appeared very shaky at a public event recently? she was greeting the new ukrainian president who had come for his first visit here. she was stood out on a red carpet, a warm day here in berlin. if you‘ve seen the video, she seemed to shake violently and uncontrollably while the national anthems were played.

at a press conference afterwards, she appeared to be in full health, she was smiling, she said she had been dehydrated. she said she had drunk three glasses of water and that seemed to be the problem, and now she was fine. it set a few news editors on edge as people watched, they were rather alarming pictures. a man who threw milkshake over nigel farage has been ordered to pay the brexit party leader compensation. paul crowther, from newcastle on tyne, threw the drink during the european election campaign when nigel farage was visiting the city. the districtjudge ordered him to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and give mr farage £350 in compensation. researchers have found that dogs have evolved muscles around their eyes, which allow them to make expressions that particularly appeal to humans. a small facial muscle allows dog eyes to mimic an "infant—like" expression which prompts a "nurturing response". the study says such "puppy dog eyes"

helped domesticated dogs to bond with humans. it went all right in rehearsal. time for a look at the weather. rehearsals? what a good idea. we must do some. we are in for a dramatic afternoon. this is not here, is it? no, there is a bit of a link. these are the pictures that came in on sunday, this was filmed in the azores, down on the east and central atlantic, which seems 1 azores, down on the east and central atlantic, which seems! million miles away from us, but torrential rain, i have got a feeling, miles away from us, but torrential rain, i have gota feeling, i haven‘t been there myself, i have got a feeling it is mountainous and when the rainfall collected into the delays in the rivers, then you end

up delays in the rivers, then you end up with that sort of issue. the connection, this is where we come then, it is we are taking that very same then, it is we are taking that very sa m e syste m then, it is we are taking that very same system and on its eastern flank, we are importing warm and moist airfrom biscay flank, we are importing warm and moist air from biscay and down across iberia, down towards the british isle. some of the will experience a little bit of rain where these darker colours are coming through, that is where we have had the odd rumble of thunder. again, no consequences, i‘m not talking about significant totals and yet, you will notice there is that potential within that body as cloud and rain to gradually work its way up and rain to gradually work its way up towards the sort of east anglia area and significantly on its way towards lincolnshire. a key mid—afternoon, no about it, 20, pushing 21 or so. that is the extent of the warning from the met office, around for the greater part of the weekend and three today, it runs from today through tonight and on into the body of wednesday as well.

here we are going through tuesday night. there are laws in proceeding but there is always just that potential on the eastern side of this great band of cloud of laying out towards the western side of the british isles for us to see that odd thunderstorm. 12—14, earth humid night here. less across the northern pa rt night here. less across the northern part of the british isles, bit of maintenance there from the atlantic rather than coming up from the south. time will push this band of cloud and rain ever further eastwards, until that is cleared, you have got that chance of the potential 50 millimetres of rain to fall for that gradually moves off into the north sea. tied in with that weather front which will eventually goes over to the near continent and takes with it that mild, humid, moisture laden air away from the british isles, such that thursday we are all in the same boat, we are all dominated by a flow

from the atlantic rather than anything coming from biscay on the continent. a fresh feel to, fewer showers to report across england and wales, low—pressure dominant across the north and quarter of the british as, and that is the way it will stay until we move into the body of the weekend. friday, saturday, things will begin to come down. we will start to talk about high pressure rather than low pressure, but it could well be that later on on sunday in the west, we see the first signs of the high—pressure drifting away and some more rain moving in from the atlantic. in the short term, just watch out for the forecast.

this is bbc news — our latest headlines. conservative mps vote in a second secret ballot to choose their new leader. with borisjohnson the clear frontrunner, the focus is on who else goes through. the remaining candidates will take part in a televised debate — here on the bbc tonight — facing questions from you. we want to make it a "runway" success — heathrow airport unveils its expansion plans for a third runway, including re—routing a river — and the m25. the teenage neo—nazis who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a mixed—race woman — jailed for terrorism offences. the former head of uefa, michel platini, is questioned by french police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. he says he‘s done absolutely nothing wrong. and coming up — can the fashion industry clean up its act? mps call for an end to the era of throwaway clothes

and poor working conditions. sport now on afternoon live with damien johnson. we are talking cricket, a good day for the england captain? that‘s right, real fireworks. for the england captain? that‘s right, realfireworks. it has been a record—breaking day for them and particularly eoin morgan at the world cup. they have dispatched afghanistan for 397 in the first innings at old trafford. morgan has set a new world record for the number of sixes hit in an international one—day match. he smashed his way to 17 in total. no one has ever done that in one—day internationals before. it made openings of 141. it was the fourth fastest century ever scored at the cricket world cup. it got england to a score which you would think afghanistan will struggle to get

close to, they sit bottom of the pool stage. morgan did eventually get out but what a treat this morning has been for those fans in manchester. afghanistan have started well in response but they have lost two wickets, arch striking early and mark would removing naib. caught behind byjos mark would removing naib. caught behind by jos buttler. mark would removing naib. caught behind byjos buttler. afghanistan currently 57—2. you can follow that much across the bbc today, coverage has started on 5live sports extra. referring back to that eoin morgan innings, he had a back spasm but i think we can safely say he has recovered! just a bit. and rafael benitez is very much in demand? he has been offered £12 million a year to ta ke

he 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 talks had broken down. bowyer led them to the championship this season with victory in the league one play—off final. manchester city are in talks with atletico madrid over their spanish international midfielder rodri. city boss pep guardiola is keen to sign a defensively minded player to bolster his squad. the champions are aware of the 22—year—old‘s £62.6 million release clause and have indicated a willingness to pay. no deal has been done yet, with bayern munich reportedly also showing interest. if the transfer does go through, it would break the club record £60 million city paid for riyad mahrez 12 months ago. scotland are preparing for their vital women‘s world cup

match with argentina tomorrow. victory at the parc des princes could send them into the last 16 as one of the best third—placed teams. that‘s despite losing 2—1 to both england and japan, but the goals scored in the two losses could prove to be the difference. i always thought when we came here that three points would probably depend on goal difference, it might be enough, and i think that is still going to be the case. it is certainly heading that way. we definitely are looking at a scenario planning and what the other groups are looking like, i think most coaches will do the same. rain has delayed the start of play at queen‘s. the covers are on centre court. dan evans should be first up against stan wawrinka. kyle edmund faces

stefanos tsitsipas later. the former world welterweight champion, kell brook, has denied speculation he is about to retire. brook has not fought since december and doesn‘t have a confirmed contest on the horizon with his long hoped for fight against fellow brit amir khan having failed to materialise. this prompted some specualtion about his future, but the sheffield fighter says he‘s not about to hang up his gloves just yet. brook posted on social media... that‘s all the sport for now. we will have more later. thank you very much. 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.

with me is maria chenoweth, chief executive of fashion re—use charity traid. that‘s what the government say, are they right? they are wrong, because they right? they are wrong, because the fashion industry contributes more to climate change and aviation and shipping industries combined. it's and shipping industries combined. it‘s an unregulated industry, and it is set to increase its damage and the amount of clothing it is selling will be increasing on and on and on. will —— more than the aviation industry and others combine, how is that? its the production of how we make our clothing, it is global, it sta rts make our clothing, it is global, it starts from agriculture and then the way we dispose of our clothing, so each week here in the uk alone, we buy 13 million items of new clothing and we throw away into the rubbish 11 million items of clothing, and

that‘s on a weekly basis. this takes up that‘s on a weekly basis. this takes up our natural resources and is unsustainable. when you talk about the natural resources, it is aspects of the production of clothing that people perhaps don‘t understand, 1800 gallons of water to produce the cotton to make one pair ofjeans. it's cotton to make one pair ofjeans. it‘s a very thirsty crop, it is grown in countries in which it is alien to be grown in, and it‘s not just that, it‘s the way that people are treated as well, the workers, so what this report wanted addressed was the way we make our clothes, the rights of workers and also the climate prices as well, and the government has rejected the proposals within the report and just stated to the fashion industry it is business as usual. and it is really not acceptable, because this business doesn‘t work in favour of people on the planet. the problem by its very nature, fashion, things are in and out of fashion, if it goes

out of fashion people dispose of it. well, really what we need to do is we need to go back to how clothing used to be made, it was made in the uk and it was made with quality in mind and longevity. now there are factories in leicester that produce disposable clothing, single use clothing is now being made for people to buy and throw away and this really is unsustainable for everybody. it has an impact on landfill, on the oceans, something it is fashionable to talk about at the moment. we are eating your clothes, if you want to look at it in that context. i just wonder what governments can do to take on an industry, one of the largest and most influential in the world. industry, one of the largest and most influential in the worldm needs regulating and it needs regulating now. today what the government dead by not addressing any of the issues raised in the report, it is putting profits over people and planet. how long should

we have our clothes for? my wardrobe is full of clothes i have had for the last 20 years. for myself, i only wear second—hand clothing, and ijust only wear second—hand clothing, and i just buy things which are only wear second—hand clothing, and ijust buy things which are good quality and that will last. i don‘t rotate my wardrobe. so the charity, traid, we advocate putting second—hand clothing over new clothing. what about this proposal of putting a penny on every new item of putting a penny on every new item of clothing and mitigating it that way? that was also rejected by the government. what they suggested was penny tax, which was just to help with the disposal of clothing. however, it is notjust the disposal thatis however, it is notjust the disposal that is the issue, it is also the production. that isjust that is the issue, it is also the production. that is just a small pa rt production. that is just a small part of the problem. maria, thank you very much. healthy, supportive relationships are "utterly indispensable" and must be strengthened if women caught up in prison are to avoid reoffending, according

to a ministry ofjustice report. it comes as the thejustice secretary, david gauke, says he wants to reduce the number of women who are given short prison sentences for non—violent offences — to avoid any adverse effects on their children. frankie mccamley reports. when my mum was punished ifelt like i was punished too, because i couldn‘t say goodbye to her and because i didn‘t see her for such a long amount of time. katie‘s mother anna was sent to prison when she was 11. we are protecting both of their identities. i used to shout at everyone, like, just punch everything and kick everything all the time. it‘s thought around 17,000 children every year in england and wales have their mother go to prison. in the family court system a child is at the centre of proceedings. that is not the case in the criminal courts, which is the focus of an enquiry by the joint committee on human rights. the state is supposed to protect

people's human rights, but when the state sends a mother to prison, then they are actually violating the human right of the child of that right to a family life. in a courtroom that looks like this, thejudge could consider a pre—sentence report that can include mitigating factors like whether the defendant has children. but these reports aren‘t always taken into account. it varies from one courtroom to another. which is what rose — not her real name — experienced. in her initial trial the judge gave her a suspended sentence as the sole carer of two children. but in the court of appeal the judge had a very different message. he said, "although parenthood is important, children cannot be used as a trump card to avoid jail." what did you think when he said that? i felt horrible. lucy baldwin analysed different approaches across the country.

some women have been advised not to disclose they have children because certainjudges may or may not respond more harshly. mothers are advised, don't worry, it doesn't matter because you're not going to attract a custodial sentence for this offence, and the mothers are reluctant to disclose the fact they have children because they fear a more harsh punishment. but a government commissioned review today has found family relationships are a must have for women‘s rehabilitation. i do think at the moment there are women and mothers who go to prison where, if we could have good robust community sentences, that would be a better outcome, not just for the woman, notjust for the child, but also for society. but with one of the highest rates of female imprisonment in western europe, this systemic shift towards rehabilitation rather than incarceration feels for many a long way off. frankie mccamley, bbc news. the united nations‘ human rights

office has called for an independent investigation into the death of egypt‘s former president, mohamed mursi. mursi collapsed and died in court yesterday. he was the country‘s first democratically elected president and had been in prison for six years after his overthrow by the army in 2013. the 67—year—old was buried at a cemetery in the egyptian capital after his family was denied a public funeral in his hometown. thousands of passengers have faced disruption at the start of a five—day strike by south western railway workers. long queues formed outside surbiton station in south—west london, while commuters waited to board trains. members of the rail, maritime and transport union have walked out in an ongoing dispute over planned changes to the role of guards on trains. services have been cancelled or disrupted — and the stoppage coincides with royal ascot. tv presenterjeremy kyle has turned down an invitation to give evidence to the commons committee investigating reality tv. itv axed thejeremy kyle show in may, following the death of participant steve dymond.

the chairman of the digital, culture, media and sport select committee, damian collins, says he‘ll be pursuing the matter to fully understand the reasons why jeremy kyle is not able to appear. the select commitee will question the chief executive of itv next week, along with the executive director of the jeremy kyle show and the show‘s director of aftercare. more weather warnings have been put in place as thunderstorms, torrential rain and flooding look set to batter parts of the uk. some flood—hit communities, such as wainfleet in lincolnshire, could face further damage and 600 homes have been evacuated. alison freeman reports. all eyes are on the river as the threat of more rain looms. a crack has been seen in the banks of the steeping near to this hole which has already been plugged. two months‘ worth of rain fell in just two days in the lincolnshire town of wainfleet. almost 600 homes had to be evacuated. pretty horrendous, really. there was water up to our chest

when we last went in. lost everything in the house. jean and kevin were shocked at the speed at which the water came into their home. they had just finished renovating and say it will take another year to restore it to its former state. very, very sad, obviously, you know. we‘ve never had anything like this happen before, but we just had to get out, so we did. the water level in wainfleet has dropped over the past few days, but with another spell of heavy rain forecast tonight and tomorrow — up to five centimetres on already sodden ground — people are very worried about what will happen to their homes. they're very angry. we've got a lot of people around here who are angry, and rightly so. they've lost their homes. so we're trying to get everything in place. district council, we've got skips, we've got people coming to help. so hopefully, you know, we can all pull together again. around 40 tonnes of water per second are being pumped away, but it‘s not known if it will be enough.

the next 24 to 48 hours is a really important time for us. we are keeping a critical eye on, and we hope to get people back in their homes as quickly as possible. if the rain does materialise, residents are being warned it‘s likely they‘ll need to stay away from their homes until at least the end of next week. alison freeman, bbc news. egon is here with the business headlines. first, a look at the headlines on afternoon live. conservative mps are voting again in a second secret ballot to choose a new leader. two teenage neo—nazis who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a mixed—race woman are jailed for terrorism offences. michel platini denies doing anything wrong as the former head of uefa is questioned by police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. here‘s your business headlines on afternoon live. heathrow airport is going to build

a third runway by 2026 and complete its expansion by 2050. that‘s according to the "masterplan" it published today. the expansion is facing intense opposition, but the airport says it‘s carrying out extensive consultatons. 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". facebook plans to launch a new digital currency, called libra, next year. it‘ll allow payments via its own apps or through whatsapp. it‘s the latest big tech firm to get into payment services. so, what‘s going on? so, what's going on? the company wa nts to so, what's going on? the company wants to launch this new digital currency, crypto currency called libra, next year. it says you will

be able to make payments via its own apps but also via apps like whatsapp. who is that man?! they will not be putting that on every... it gets the idea across that they are wanting to go big on this. but what they say is... some imagination has gone into that! so, what they say they want to do is make it as easy to send money as it is to send a text. it is being backed by a dozen companies like paypal and visa and they are hoping that broad—based support for the established businesses will distinguish it from the likes of bitcoin, which is notoriously volatile. so facebook saying you won‘t be subject to volatility on this new currency and it won‘t be easy to hack. but you andi it won‘t be easy to hack. but you and i both know that the companies really face a lot of difficulties

over accusations of what it does about data, can it be trusted with data? so there is, can it be trusted with our money? that‘s a question i put to our tech reporter. this is the 64,000 libra question! here we have a company with a bit of a chequered history in terms of looking after people's data, can it convince people it can also look after the cash? convenience is a big thing here, it billions of users and the convenience of that payment syste m the convenience of that payment system is certainly going to be tempting, plus there are people without bank accounts, nearly 2 billion in the world who don't have one at all and it would be helpful to them. whether or not that will prove to be a bigger draw than concerns over security, we will have to see, and also whether there is enough ofa to see, and also whether there is enough of a market, there are quite a lot of players in here already, other ways of making payments like paypal, you don't need cash in your wallet anymore, it's a crowded marketplace. let's talk about the

weather, it is affecting sport and affecting a lot of things including business? that's right. we had one of the wettest summers so far in recent yea rs, of the wettest summers so far in recent years, in fact lincolnshire have had two months worth of rain in just two days recently. we are all quite fickle as consumers and that has led to a lot of trouble on the high street for many companies. you mean we don‘t like to go shopping in the rain? that's right. where i come from that is counted as fickle. so the big question is, what is that doing to the businesses? let‘s talk now to someone from the federation of small businesses. louise, what is the impact? it is huge. two thirds of businesses have told the fsb they have had some impact from weather—related incidents have had some impact from weather— related incidents over the past weather— related incidents over the pa st two weather— related incidents over the past two years, it may be flooding or heavy snow, it could be extreme

heat, but the weather is the number—1 concern for small businesses it creates disruption, whether it affects footfall, the high street is already by the impact —— impacted, there was disruption and the like districts, people can get there from scotland, no trains running, so the infrastructure unable to cope and that has a huge impact. but i thought we were all moving to online shopping these days? well, obviously we don't want everyone to move to online shopping but it's notjust about shops, small businesses are at the heart of our community, it could be the post office or the local pub, it could be any numberof office or the local pub, it could be any number of businesses, and they will have to be able to have footfall getting to them and be able to get out and about so when there are extreme events like this and we are extreme events like this and we are seeing more because of the risk of the change of, climate change, businesses need to be more resilient and look at a plan and how they are

going to cope if they are affected by an extreme weather incident. what sort of advice are you giving your members in terms of coping with this weather? they should be looking at having a resilience plan in place, business continuity, what happens if you get flooded, how will you cope with that, they need to look at insurance, which isn't always easy for small businesses, particularly those in flood hit areas. but the solution is notjust to move them out of those areas or you get flood light, if you like, areas which are badly hit find businesses move out and they can't attract new businesses and it has a knock—on effect. so there are lots of things they can do, the government needs to do more to help small businesses get prepared for weather like this because we are likely to see more in the years to come. louise, thank you very much. let's have a look at the markets. good news for the ftse 100.

markets. good news for the ftse100. there might be a stimulus somewhere down the line for the european economy. mining companies doing well because of that. brent crude on the up because of that. brent crude on the up because of the tensions in the release. see you on, egon. some breaking news, the tour de france champion karen thomas has been involved in a crash, heavy fall. —— geraint thomas. this is according his team. a picture of him receiving medical attention. the team saying... they are already without chris froome for the race. he suffered a

heavy crash and had to have surgery. we don‘t know how serious this is but certainly geraint thomas has had a fall and we will keep an eye on that for you. 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‘re 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 to do 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 start 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. now brake and then run the white line, in we go. feed the power in. going 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. 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. the headlines coming up. now let‘s catch up with the weather, with phil. it is likely or weather headlines will be made by the intensity of thunderstorms are fighting the south—eastern quarter of the british isles. warm moist air piling in. further to the north and west, showers across western scotland and northern ireland and what is going to bea northern ireland and what is going to be a fresher night. across england and wales are rather close and humid night. that‘sjust adding

to the intensity of the potential downpours we could see before this weather front gradually sweeps the possibility of thunderstorms ever further towards the north sea and the near continent. before it goes, somebody in the south—eastern zone could well be looking at a total of around 50 millimetres of rain. so just watch out for that. the storms are slow because there is not much breeze. once we‘re through wednesday, things do come down somewhat, the temperature stays pretty similarfor the somewhat, the temperature stays pretty similar for the rest of the week but in the short term, watch out for the thunderstorms.

hello, you‘re watching afternoon live — i‘m simon mccoy. today at four: afternoon live — i‘m simon mccoy. conservative mps are voting in a second secret ballot to choose their new leader. with borisjohnson the clear frontrunner, the focus is on who else goes through. the remaining candidates will take part in a televised debate, here on the bbc tonight, facing questions from you. the teenage neo—nazis, who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a mixed—race woman, are jailed for terrorism offences. we want to make it a runway success. heathrow airport unveils its expansion plans for a third runway, including re—routing a river and the m25. the former head of uefa michel platini is questioned by french police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. he says he‘s done absolutely nothing wrong. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport with damienjohnson.

england captain eoin morgan smashes a remarkable 17 sixes as records tumble in their world cup match against afghanistan. details coming up. thanks, damien, and we‘ll bejoining you for a full update just after half—past. phil avery has all the weather. it looks as though some of us is going to see thunderstorm activity three today, on through the night and the first part of wednesday as well. up to 50 millimetres of rain is possible in some areas. i will have all the detail said that with you injust a have all the detail said that with you in just a few minutes. thanks, phil. also coming up — how a flood—hit community in lincolnshire is facing more devastation with more rain forecast. it is claimed officials there were one that the flood defence it would fail. we will have that in half an hour. hello, everyone, this is afternoon live. i‘m simon mccoy.

the race to become conservative leader and prime minister intensifies in the next few hours, with a second round of voting by mps on the six remaining candidates. they‘ll be knocked out if they come last, or if they fail to secure at least 10% of the vote, that‘s 33 supporters. those who get through will take part in a live bbc debate this evening. it will be a chance to scrutinise the frontrunner boris johnson, who‘s almost certain to make it through. he‘s refused to take part in a tv debate at the weekend, and a westminster hustings yesterday. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. who will win the race to call this place home? no shortage of ministers with eyes on the top job. are you looking forward to the debate, sir? jeremy hunt wants it, so do michael gove and sajid javid. and rory stewart thinks he has got momentum in the race to succeed theresa may. reporter: are you feeling confident? "i am feeling good," he replies. but this is the man to beat. reporter: is it your race

to lose, mrjohnson? silent again leaving home this morning. but he is hoovering up support in parliament. i think he is the best placed to get us out of the eu at the end of october. so his view and mine is very closely aligned, there. and secondly, i do believe he is an election winner. i think he is someone who can bring the country and the party back together. this afternoon, in here, tory mps will hold their second vote. at least one leadership hopeful will drop out, and it could be more. candidates will need the backing of 33 mps. borisjohnson is safe. he is miles ahead. jeremy hunt and michael gove should have enough support. but it will be close for rory stewart, sajid javid and dominic raab. mr stewart admits it will be tight but he wants the opportunity to take on borisjohnson. half the people in his campaign have got the impression that he intends to leave on the 31st of october with no deal. and the other half of the people in his campaign seem to have got the impression he is going for the softest of soft brexits. the reason it alarms me

is that the only way we are going to have stability in our government, country and party is if people trust us. sajid javid says his party needs to show it reflects modern britain. if we end up in a situation where the final two, three, four are people of similar backgrounds... public school, oxbridge, all that? yes. it'll look like a debate at the oxford union. ijust don't think that is healthy for the tory party. michael gove is adamant his bid to be pm has not run out of steam. a shower and a change of clothes later... i am feeling confident. i am looking forward to a good debate with the other candidates later and looking forward to making a case for a positive conservative vision, to ensure that we get a good brexit deal and that we reform this country for the better. are you being overtaken by rory stewart? he certainly hopes not. everyone who makes it through this afternoon‘s vote will be here tonight for the bbc debate. it will be the first debate that borisjohnson has taken part in in public,

and inevitably the other candidates will want to put pressure on the front runner over his brexit plans, over his policies, over what he wants to do in number 10. tonight, voters across the uk will be let in on the debate. policies will be tested, minds could change, even in a race where the result sometimes feels like a foregone conclusion. nick eardley, bbc news. our chief political correspondent vicky young is in parliament now. we do not know how many chairs they are going to need. we saw the set therefore tonight‘s debate, thinking how many of those are going to be needed? it how many of those are going to be needed ? it is how many of those are going to be needed? it is not the person who comes lasso drops out, anyone who does not reach the magic number of 33. getting 33 votes is not guaranteed either because you might get the 33 and realise that you are bottom of the pile. there are a lot of nerves around in all of the different camps. rory stewart is

outside the waiting room apparently, standing there saying to people, i have got 31, i have got 31, i need more votes. he wants to look them in the eye and see their soul, which sounds slightly alarming. if you look at sajid javid‘s team, they are nervous, saying there is a feeling in the pit of the stomach, turning up in the pit of the stomach, turning up at the apple, cutting it fine and not knowing how long the security queue is. —— turning up at the airport. a lot of people very nervous. let‘s talk to nicky morgan, supporting michael gove. are you nervous, or do you think it is fine because mckee made the 33 the last time round. i confident he will get round but i think it will be foolish not to be nervous on polling day because you never entirely know. i love that quote from sajid, i am sure he's been through the security queue, what a great quote. there are rumours of shenanigans going on here, people leading people votes, maybe they would like certain people to stay in. do you think that is

going on behind—the—scenes? not to cast aspersions on your colleagues. there is a desire to make sure there's a good debate tonight, and we have good candidates out there. i think sometimes to second—guess or to say people are loving each other —— lending each other votes. they are voting for the person they think will make the best prime minister. i am voting michael gove. it is important we have a member stage, and michael is committed 100% today to the member stage to our party members geta to the member stage to our party members get a vote. you did not vote to leave the european union, so why do you think it needs to be two brexit is in the final round?” think the country did vote and one of the things we have seen is the paralysis of the last three years and what we do not want is a rerun of the referendum itself. conservative party members by a nudge to put the brexit result. they wa nt

nudge to put the brexit result. they want to see delivered. i want to make sure there's a candidate saying they do want that to be a deal and they do want that to be a deal and they have a plan about how it is going to come about. looking at the numbers, boris johnson is going to come about. looking at the numbers, borisjohnson is so far ahead. according to all the poles of the grassroot members, he is way ahead there too. does it feel like a pointless exercise? lots of mps are backing him because they think he is going to be a winner. my colleagues have to answer for full they are voting for and why they are doing that. i think it is important we have two to go to members. party members have not had a vote in so long about who the next leader should be. tonight's debate should be interesting because it is the first time we will see boris out there. he did not attend the hustings, he has missed hustings in front of the press. it's important we have somebody, and i think michael can do this, he can hold boris to account when we get to that final stage. people have talked about blue on blue, attacking people

in public domain. there has been a lot of that, let‘s face it, is not a problem, do you think? that is certainly a danger in it, absolutely. i think it is not great have party members opposing each other and competing. equally, have party members opposing each otherand competing. equally, i think what has been interesting, we began to see this on sunday night, the beginning of new policy ideas. new talent and new policy on the benches and if we can get some of that out that will be good. she is saying she needs to remember to go and vote, but i‘m sure she will get and vote, but i‘m sure she will get a call if she does not. talking about shenanigans, we are talking about shenanigans, we are talking about the next prime minister of the united kingdom, is it legal to be lending rates? it is an internal process , lending rates? it is an internal process, it happened last time round with theresa may, it happened with gordon brown under different rules of the labour party. this is how it works in the system. it is not

voters who decide, i think there are some rumours of people lending their fates but it‘s a dangerous game to play because you never quite know how many people you do have on your side at that point. i think there will be teams looking at who they prefer will be teams looking at who they p refer to will be teams looking at who they prefer to face in the final round. when you get down to the last three, which we presume will be tomorrow and another ballot, then it becomes much trickier. i think people then at that point go for the candidate that they really want to succeed. in the meantime, rory stewart is standing there, looking people in the eye and seeing vessel. a p pa re ntly the eye and seeing vessel. apparently so. it sounds a bit threatening. -- and seeing their soul. i couldn‘t possibly comment. and a reminder, you can watch the announcement of who‘s through to the next round at six o‘clock live on the bbc news channel.

then two hours later, it‘s the first debate with all the candidates left standing for conservative leader and our next prime minister at eight o‘clock this evening on bbc one. two neo—nazi teenagers, who suggested prince harry should be shot for marrying a woman of mixed race, have been jailed for encouraging terrorism. the pair were members of the sonnenkrieg division, an extreme revolutionary nazi group exposed by bbc news in december. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford reports. some of the most violent nazi propaganda to emerge in britain. internet posts calling for women who mix with other races to be killed, and for attacks on the police. there was even a post — which we‘re not showing — suggesting prince harry should be shot as a race traitor. the group responsible, sonnenkrieg division, was set up last year, but was exposed by a bbc news investigation. the men were arrested the next day. the group encourage followers to join a violent race war.

they were encouraging others online to commit terrorist attacks and of course it only takes one individual to be encouraged or be inspired by that propaganda to take that further step. today, michal szewczuk — a computer science student from leeds responsible for many of the posts — was sentenced to four years, three months in prison. in a blog he‘d also encouraged followers to rape and slaughter women. but when we caught up with him, he seemed less keen to make the same comments on camera. why were you running an account saying women and babies should be raped? no comment. do you think prince harry should be killed ? no comment. are you looking forward to going to jail? no comment. anything else?

no more refugees! oskar dunn—koczorowski, seen here in the centre of a neo—nazi march, was jailed for 18 months. he had previously been a member of the banned group national action, and did fight training with other former members. on the sonnenkrieg social media account he wrote... oskar, why did you think that prince harry was a race traitor? again, he seemed less brave when the camera was running. so you‘re happy to post about nazis on the internet but you‘re not prepared to admit it on camera? the uk group sonnenkrieg division was linked to this ultra—extreme nazi group... race war now! ..from the united states, called atomwaffen division, that encourages lone—wolf attacks and has been linked to five murders. their ideology is viewed as the most violent revolutionary right—wing extremism. daniel sandford, bbc news.

heathrow airport has published details of what it calls its "master plan" for expansion, which will take place over 30 years and include a third runway by 2026. the proposals require diverting rivers, moving roads, and re—routing the m25 through a tunnel under the new runway. heathrow‘s expansion has been highly controversial, particularly with local communities. the plans are now open to public consultation for three months. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. it‘s crowded at europe‘s biggest airport. this is the queue to get off the tarmac. 99% of landing and take—off slots at britain‘s main airport are full. not only are the planes queueing up to take off, they‘re queueing up in the sky to get in. a plane will arrive or leave heathrow every 45 seconds. it‘s why heathrow says it needs a third runway. and this is what the airport hopes it will look like.

the new runway will run over a new section of the busy m25. 761 homes will be demolished, their owners compensated. local roads will be moved, rivers diverted. a new low—emission zone around heathrow could mean additional charges for many vehicles. and the airport hopes it will be linked up to great western and southern rail. a third runway would potentially mean an extra 260,000 flights per year. environmental groups say we should be containing air travel, not expanding it. we are in a climate emergency and heathrow is already the biggest single source of greenhouse gases in the uk. it‘s time we stop investing further into climate—wrecking airports and invest in our railways and better transport networks. noise pollution is also a major concern for local residents. heathrow says it will increase by an hour and a half the period overnight when flights are not scheduled. it says its terminals and ground

operations will be carbon neutral by next year. one of the things we‘ll be producing as part of the consultation today is our preliminary environmental impact assessment, which sets out the implications from an air quality, noise, and carbon perspective. they are really important factors and we have worked hard to make sure that we mitigate those. and, clearly, we won‘t be able to expand unless we deliver on those environmental limits. heathrow says a third runway will boost our economy post brexit, with freight capacity greatly increased. it also plans to develop terminals two and five to cope with additional traffic. like terminal 3‘s automated baggage zone, every part of heathrow is under pressure. but there is now a blueprint for expansion on the table. the airport hopes work will begin in 2022. tom burridge, bbc news, at heathrow. you‘re watching afternoon live,

these are our headlines: conservative mps are voting in the secret second ballot to choose their new leader. two teenage neo—nazis who encourage an attack on prince harry for manning a mixed race women are jailed for terrorism offences. he threw airport reveals its —— ether airport reveals its plans for a runway expansion. lives are being destroyed due to fairly immune —— failure in the nhs to support eating disorders. a huge totalfor the house to support eating disorders. a huge total for the house against afghanistan by captain eoin morgan. an injury scare for geraint thomas who has crashed out. he has been taken to hospital for checks who has crashed out. he has been taken to hospitalfor checks but who has crashed out. he has been taken to hospital for checks but was about and speaking. waiting on the web that clean‘s club

a statement, in french, so i will paraphrase it. they have said it is in no way an arrest, he has been questioned for technical reasons, he is answering the questions put to him, he has nothing to reproach himself over and he is absolutely confident of the outcome. if you remember when qatar was awarded with the 2022 world cup, it was quite a shock, this was back in 2010. one of the reasons was because of the blazing temperatures in the summer that would be practically impossible for footballers to pay in. —— to play in. it will be played in the winter months now. another major concern was the lack of human rights in qatar as well. following investigations into the decisions, over the past few years, 16 of the 24 members of the executive committee of fifa have either been struck off, suspended or remain under investigation, and now we have platini answering questions on the issue. let us talk about michel platini because in france, he is a hero.

he has a huge, rich history. this is something of another fall from grace, he is quite a figurehead in football. he was captain of the french team in his playing heyday. he was also instrumental in organising the 1998 world cup, which was hosted by france, when france won the competition for the first time ever, it was seen to be hugely successful and a lot of that was attributed to him. he then became head of uefa in europe in 2007, but then in 2015, michel platini was banned from football by fifa and that was after a judgement by the ethics committee, along with the former president of fifa, sepp blatter, following a conflict of interest. after he had appealed to the court of arbitration for sport,

that ban was reduced to four years. at the time, it was hugely disgraceful for him for that to have happened to him. today, you cannot see, along the pavement there is a huge amount of french media waiting to see whether he emerges from the police offices behind me or not. the ban that he was given is due to expire fairly soon and the women‘s world cup is being hosted in france which means that fifa is in town, certainly in paris anyway, so it means the questioning of platini at this time is pretty timely. jane dougal. the inquest into the london bridge attacks two years ago has heard that an independent report commissioned by city of london police weeks earlier, warned of almost exactly the kind of attack that was carried out. eight people were killed when three men drove into pedestrians before stabbing people in borough market. from outside the old bailey, our correspondent, richard lister sent this update. this report was commissioned by the city of london police just after the westminster bridge attack in march 2017, and city of london police were trying to find out where other targets might be vulnerable, what other places might be at risk. they commissioned a security

company to look into that. their employees carried out surveillance at various high profile points in london and concluded that london bridge was a viable option for terrorists wishing to carry out an attack, and especially a vehicle attack. they went on to say in the report, published in april 2017, that the southern end of the bridge represented an attractive location in which to attack bystanders with a bladed weapon after crashing the vehicle. that is almost exactly what happened injune 2017. questioned about this report today on the stand was the witness who has been on there for most of the morning, deputy assistant commissioner of the metropolitan police, lucy dorsey, in charge of special operations in london and nationally. she said she was not aware of the report because it had been commissioned by city of london

police. she said even if she had been aware of the report, she probably would not have been rushing to put barriers out because she said those who wrote the report did not have access to the kind of intelligence that she had to make assessments about what places were at greatest risk. she said it was that intelligence which deemed where it was important to put security operations in place to resist the kind of attack this report talks about. she is still on the stand at the moment. two 14—year—old boys have been found guilty of the murder of 14—year—old schoolgirl ana kriegel in dublin last year. one of the boys has also been found guilty of aggravated sexual assault. ana kriegel‘s body was found in a disused farmhouse in the city in may last year. a pathologist concluded that the cause of her death was blunt force trauma to the head and neck. the two boys, who were 13 at the time, cannot be named for legal reasons. a man who threw milkshake over nigel farage has been ordered to pay the brexit party leader compensation. paul crowther, from newcastle

on tyne, threw the drink during the european election campaign when nigel farage was visiting the city. the districtjudge ordered him to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and give mr farage £350 in compensation. tv presenterjeremy kyle has turned down an invitation to give evidence to the commons committee investigating reality tv. itv axed thejeremy kyle show last month, following the death of participant steve dymond. the chairman of the digital, culture, media and sport select committee, damian collins, says he‘ll be pursuing the matter to fully understand the reasons why jeremy kyle is not able to appear. the select committee will question the chief executive of itv next week, along with the executive director of the jeremy kyle show and the show‘s director of aftercare. more weather warnings have been put in place as thunderstorms, torrential rain and flooding look set to batter parts of the uk. some flood—hit communities, such as wainfleet in lincolnshire, could face further damage and 600 homes have been evacuated. alison freeman reports. all eyes are on the river as the threat of more rain looms. a crack has been seen in the banks

of the steeping near to this hole which has already been plugged. two months‘ worth of rain fell in just two days in the lincolnshire town of wainfleet. almost 600 homes had to be evacuated. pretty horrendous, really. there was water up to our chest when we last went in. lost everything in the house. jean and kevin were shocked at the speed at which the water came into their home. they had just finished renovating and say it will take another year to restore it to its former state. very, very sad, obviously, you know. we‘ve never had anything like this happen before, but we just had to get out, so we did. the water level in wainfleet has dropped over the past few days, but with another spell of heavy rain forecast tonight and tomorrow — up to five centimetres on already sodden ground — people are very worried about what will happen to their homes. they're very angry. we've got a lot of people around here who are angry, and rightly so. they've lost their homes. so we're trying to get

everything in place. district council, we've got skips, we've got people coming to help. so hopefully, you know, we can all pull together again. around 40 tonnes of water per second are being pumped away, but it‘s not known if it will be enough. the next 24 to 48 hours is a really important time for us. we are keeping a critical eye on, and we hope to get people back in their homes as quickly as possible. if the rain does materialise, residents are being warned it‘s likely they‘ll need to stay away from their homes until at least the end of next week. alison freeman, bbc news. and stay with us here on afternoon live as we go nationwide after 4.30, when we‘ll be hearing more about how residents are coping in those flood stricken parts of lincolnshire. lives are being lost because of the failure of the nhs in england to provide care for people with eating disorders, that‘s according to two different reports by mps and campaigners.

more than a million people have an eating disorder, but specialist help is often difficult to access, leaving patients relying on gps who lack the skills and training to help. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. for the past decade, hannah has lived with an eating disorder. it‘s a potentially very serious condition, and yet she struggled to get the help she needed. there was a long wait, actually, when i was 19, to get help. so the wait was about six months for some cbt group therapy, and by that point, that wasn‘t really sufficient. and also, within six months i was extremely unwell, and by that point i was having, you know, suicide attempts. for those suffering with an eating disorder, getting treatment quickly is vital. but the eating disorder charity beat says, last year, one in five adults in england had to wait longer than 18 weeks, while one in ten had to wait for more than than 24 weeks. the average waiting time in england was nine weeks, but the charity says patients face

a postcode lottery for treatment. what we found was that, for some areas, people are being seen within two weeks. for others, they‘re waiting almost six months. it‘s a real variety across the country, and that‘s having detrimental impacts upon people‘s health. i think the real issue is bringing in some waiting time directives, like we've had in children and young people, alongside lobbying for funding from the government which, hopefully, the report from parliament will support and encourage and help implement. for those like hannah, who are living with an eating disorder, a clear understanding of their illness is key. but a report from a committee of mps says the training medical students receive can amount to just a few hours. they warn that, without better training and more joined—up services to help people like hannah, the nhs is risking avoidable deaths. dominic hughes, bbc news. for details of organisations

which offer advice and support with eating disorders, go online to... or call the number on your screens. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with phil avery. hello. it‘s likely that our weather headlines over the next 24 hours or so are going to be made by the intensity of thunderstorms that are likely to affect the south—eastern quarter of the british isles as warm, moist air piles in from the near continent and biscay. further to the north and west, you‘ve got your own supply of showers here across western scotland, northern ireland on what is going to be a fresher night. but across the grid, a part of england and wales, a rather close, humid night and that‘s just adding to the intensity of the potential downpours that we could see before this weather front gradually sweeps that possibility of thunderstorms ever further towards the north sea and the near continent. but before it goes, somebody in that south—eastern zone could well be looking at a accumulated total of around 50 millimetres of rain, so just watch out for that. those storms slow—moving

because there really isn‘t much in the way of breeze in this south—eastern quarter. once we‘re through wednesday, things do calm down somewhat. the temperature profile stays pretty similar for the rest of the week, but in the short term, watch out for the thunderstorms. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. conservative mps are voting in the second secret ballot to choose the new leader. the remaining candidates will take pa rt the remaining candidates will take part ina the remaining candidates will take part in a tv debate tonight facing questions from you. the teenage neo—nazis who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a mixed race woman jailed for terrorism offences. heathrow airport unveils an expansion plan for a third runway including re—routing a river and the m25. michel platini is questioned by french police over the awarding of

the 2022 world cup to qatar. he says he has done nothing wrong. coming up, an update on that flooding in lincolnshire where discount officials were repeatedly warned that the flood defences would fail. time for the sport with damien johnson and a record breaking day for eoin morgan? wheel fun and games at manchester as the world cup continues to gather pace. eoin morgan hit a remarkable 17 sixes on his way to a century to put his side ina commanding his way to a century to put his side in a commanding position in the match against afghanistan. morgan had been doubtful with a back spasm before the match but recovered to produce a record—breaking innings as england posted a big total. andy swiss is at old trafford. some real fireworks today? yes, what entertainment the fans here have been treated to. the strange thing was, for the first half of england's innings they were relatively

subdued. the afghanistan bowlers exerted some control. james vince was the first out forjust 26. jonny ba i rstow was the first out forjust 26. jonny bairstow made an excellent 90 before he was caught and bowled. it was at that point when eoin morgan came to the fray that the fireworks started. a quite extraordinary innings from eoin morgan, 148 and barely an hour and a quarter, it almost beggars belief. you mentioned the number of sixes, he got 17, that is a record in one—day internationals. it was a record—breaking innings as a whole from england, the total of 25 sixes was againa from england, the total of 25 sixes was again a record and their total of 397-6 was again a record and their total of 397—6 was a world cup record as well. so records were tumbling all over the place. afghanistan are batting at the moment, chugging along quite nicely, 110—3. but

already they are more than halfway through their overs, frankly there is no way boring one of the greatest sporting miracles of all time they will win this, the contest is effectively over. but afghanistan will continue to bat for pride but the fans have been treated to some of the most extraordinary cricketing entertainment we've seen at this world cup or indeed any other tournament. thanks, andy. geraint thomas has withdrawn from the tour to suisse after a crash. tea m the tour to suisse after a crash. team any of us say the welshman, who won the 2018 tour de france has been taken to hospital for checks. won the 2018 tour de france has been taken to hospitalfor checks. it comes a few days after his team—mate chris froome broke his leg, which ended his season a few weeks before the start of the tour de france. 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.

now on afternoon live, let‘s go nationwide — and see what‘s happening around the country in our daily visit to the bbc newsrooms around the uk. let‘s go to paul clifton, who‘s at southampton central station. thousands of commuters are facing disruption as a five—day strike by south western railway staff gets under way. and peter levy will update us on the latest flood news in lincolnshire, where it‘s been claimed that officials were repeatedly warned that flood defences would fail. it is befitting there is a delay on the line to paul! so, south—western ra i lwa ys the line to paul! so, south—western railways has been running on and off for a half, this dispute, what impact has it had? the trains are running, mostly. but there are fewer than normal, that means some of them are busier than normal. in some cases they are wildly overcrowded. we know a lot of people have simply chosen not to go to london today.

south—western prioritise the big passenger flows into the capital so there are a few trains west of salisbury, none at all through camberley. passengers have had a four—month break from the strikes. after a year of action it was suspended in february but also take place, a deal seemed close. that didn‘t happen so today the action is back on. i asked the union what effect they thought it would have. hopefully, we have heard members of the company say that they would need some sort of demonstration from us we we re some sort of demonstration from us we were serious about what we are doing. i think this sends a serious message. let's talk about the timing of the strike because it is clearly designed to affect the biggest number of people at the worst possible time. they are striking during royal ascot, one of the biggest sporting events in the region, and also at the same time as a bus strike by the rmt union in

southampton. the union thinks this will force management towards doing a deal, clearly the company does not see it that way. the union has never wavered in his refusal to accept that some trains could run without a guard in the future. the company says it will roster a guard on every service but it won‘t promise what the union demands, which is it will not under any circumstances run a train without a second member of staff on board. something that is routinely done on about a third of the rail network. and i don‘t think the rail network. and i don‘t think the two sides have moved onejot in this dispute since the first strike right back in november 2017. that train behind you hasn‘t moved much either! paul, thank you. now, let‘s go to peter. i‘vejust had either! paul, thank you. now, let‘s go to peter. i‘ve just had a tweet from someone who says it has already started when here so let‘s talk about the flooding, where is it

worst at the moment? we are talking about wayne fleet not far from skegness, the rain started last week, there was more at the weekend, it is now the sixth day of the floods. the river steeping burst its banks, more than 1000 people have been asked to leave their homes. many have been flooded and had no options because they have lost their positions. i was there all day yesterday, there is a huge amount of water and a massive operation by all the emergency services taking place. you will have seen the pitches over the last few days of the chinook helicopter dropping ballast. that‘s to fill up the breached river banks. that has been successful to some extent because the water levels are beginning to drop. but a crack has appeared further on the river bank. yesterday there was much unhappiness, as you can imagine, by locals over work to prevent this happening, work that could have been done on the river bank. the drainage board said it had spent the last

eight years winning something like this could happen. it has to be said is well there was much criticism and anger aimed at the environment agency. last night the government sent the flooding minister to visit the scene and i spoke to her at wayne fleet. has the environment agency let this sera down?” wayne fleet. has the environment agency let this sera down? i don't believe it has. i think it has been... many wouldn't agree with that. people are unhappy. what do you want me to say? do you think thatis you want me to say? do you think that is justified criticism ? you want me to say? do you think that is justified criticism?” represent a constituency that has had surges before, this is a difficult time for people, people might be worried about being flooded but also people have been and it is very devastating. the weather is going to be crucial, isn‘t it? absolutely, yes, some very heavy rain expected, as you will have seen in the programme this afternoon. the

question is, how much will fall on lincolnshire? levels are already high and this is crucial. two months of rain fell in two days at the weekend. many people have been told they can‘t go back into their homes until friday at the earliest. even if it rains heavier tonight it takes a day or two for any potential damage to show up. so fingers crossed for the forecast this evening. but spending the day there yesterday, some people have lost so much, possessions, so much damage to property, but people are so supportive of each other, many people who haven‘t been flood damaged helping people who have. i spoke to one man who said he had spoken to more people in the last five days than he had done in ten yea rs. five days than he had done in ten years. it‘s a sad story, all the eyes a re years. it‘s a sad story, all the eyes are on the weather forecast, the news channel will have comprehensive forecasts over the next 24 hours. so let‘s keep our fingers crossed the weather is

kinder to lincolnshire. indeed, our thoughts are with people up there. plenty more on your show tonight. paul, someone has suggested that is actually your train taking you back to the office! i‘m sure that‘s not true. paul and peter, to the office! i‘m sure that‘s not true. pauland peter, thank to the office! i‘m sure that‘s not true. paul and peter, thank you both. paul and peter, thank you both. if you would like to see more on any of those stories, you can access them via the bbc iplayer. and we go nationwide every weekday afternoon at 4:30 here on afternoon live. the united nations‘ human rights office has called for an independent investigation into the death of egypt‘s former president, mohamed mursi. mursi collapsed and died in court yesterday. he was the country‘s first democratically elected president and had been in prison for six years after his overthrow by the army in 2013. the 67—year—old was buried at a cemetery in the egyptian capital after his family was denied a public funeral in his hometown.

the berlin senate has approved plans to freeze rent in the german capital for the next five years. it‘s been closely watched by other cities around the world. last week new york passed a sweeping overhaul of its laws — making it much harderfor landlords to raise rents. earlier i spoke to our berlin correspondent, jenny hill, about the the city‘s rent increase. no—one is sure how to go about tackling the rise in rents here in berlin. i‘ve had a look at the figures this morning. in seven years, rental prices here have doubled. there is enormous pressure on the city to provide affordable housing, it is reckoned that berlin needs 100,000 new flats kind of now. there is a lot of pressure on the authorities. the berlin senate today have decided they want to go ahead and try to impose this ban on increasing rent for five years. that will have to be voted on by the bigger regional parliament later in the year once the draft proposals are ready. but that is being looked ahead to here in berlin because people are very concerned. in fact, it is being looked forward to the extent that already tenants

are saying that their rents are being put up ahead of any legislation actually being put into practice. some landlords are actually advising other landlords to get in quickly and get their rents heightened before they are not able to do so anymore. while i have you there, some concerns about angela merkel who appeared very shaky at a public event recently? she was greeting the new ukrainian president who had come for his first visit here. she was stood out on a red carpet, a warm day here in berlin. if you‘ve seen the video, she seemed to shake violently and uncontrollably while the national anthems were played. at a press conference afterwards, she appeared to be in full health, she was smiling, she said she had been dehydrated. she said she had drunk three glasses of water and that seemed to be the problem, and now she was fine. it set a few news editors on edge as people watched, they were rather alarming pictures.

jenni hill talking to me from berlin. egon is here — in a moment he will be telling us what‘s hot and what‘s not in the business news. first, a look at the headlines on afternoon live. conservative mps vote in a second secret ballot to choose their new leader, with at least one of the six remaining candidates set to be knocked out. two teenage neo—nazis, who encouraged an attack on prince harry for marrying a mixed—race woman, are jailed for terrorism offences. michel platini denies doing anything wrong as the former head of uefa is questioned by police over the awarding of the 2022 world cup to qatar. here‘s your business headlines on afternoon live. heathrow airport is going to build a third runway by 2026 and complete its expansion by 2050. that‘s according to the "masterplan" it published today. the expansion is facing intense opposition, but the airport says it‘s carrying out extensive consultations.

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". facebook plans to launch a new digital currency, called libra, next year. it‘ll allow payments via its own apps or through whatsapp. it‘s the latest big tech firm to get into payment services. the latest, tell us more. they are not going to look like that because they are digital coins.” not going to look like that because they are digital coins. i love that image! and coins. let's carry on with that chat. so what is behind this move? they are trying to maximise revenue. they see other companies like google and apple getting into that digital payment space. they are launching this new currency called libra, they want to

do that next year. they are not doing it alone, they have a dozen companies behind them like visa, paypal, so they are saying this will bea paypal, so they are saying this will be a much more stable crypto currency than bitcoin which is really volatile. they are also promising the currency will not be packable. so the question is, can they be trusted with our money? the question for simon from the bank of new york. that trust issue, facebook can‘t get away from it? new york. that trust issue, facebook can't get away from it? it has been a general issue for facebook and other companies over the last few years but let's be frank, we share our data with banks and credit card companies so that may not be the numberone companies so that may not be the number one issue with launching a crypto currency. i think the bigger issue is twofold, first of all it is a problem, it is a solution looking

for a problem, a problem, it is a solution looking fora problem, i'm not certain there is anything wrong with the way that fees are currently charged, i think the bigger issue is that there will be huge amounts of objection from countries where facebook operates, in india for example it is very negative about using digital currencies and i suspect a number of others will push back because they will see it as taking control from the local central banks, the currency. that's where i think the issues will lie with this. what about also the demand we have very many different ways of paying, google and apple just two examples. exactly, it's a solution looking for a problem. there are plenty of ways already to pay, it works really well. so the idea they need to lodge a new currency right now seems superfluous. just going back to the

whole trust issues, another analyst was suggesting that people may not quite get the whole data trust issue, but they will think more closely about putting their money with facebook. again, i think it is difficult to point out any one company and start questioning whether there are issues of trust. but i think generally, the use of data or the breaches of data by companies over the course of the la st companies over the course of the last few years will make anyone question where the money is held and i think that's fairly reasonable stop turbulent times for sterling. so it always seems like that. it has come back a bit over the last few days, precisely because people are strange to focus on the political risks. we have the leadership campaign for the conservative party and that is making people focus on what happens once that campaign is

finished, will be a political challenge within parliament, how does brexit work out? all of a sudden people are waking up to it again. and president trump saying he will meet president xi at the g20 next week, signs of a rapprochement to? let's hope so. this will be a numberone to? let's hope so. this will be a number one issue for the markets over the last 12 months. i would be cautious about reading too much into this. i think china is feeling very frosty towards the us, i think it is a major step they are even talking soi a major step they are even talking so i wouldn't countenance anything substantive coming out of that. the us is playing it down a bit. i think we have more rocky roads on the straight story to come. thank you. there we go, the markets. the ftse 100 has done well today because of comments from the boss of the

european central bank that there might be somewhere down the line stimulus action to boost the economy in the eurozone. that has helped mining companies who are obviously thriving when there is economic growth. brent crude is on the up because of the continued tensions in the released. thank you very much. instagram can‘t sell billing on its own, according to its boss. it comes after the government introduced a white paper in april with tough new rules on social media companies saying if they didn‘t take responsibilities they would face heavy fines. in an interview, the boss says online bullying needs to be tackled as part of a wider plan and he welcomed regulation in some areas. it has changed and evolved with the internet, some of that ma nifests with the internet, some of that manifests on instagram and other platforms. i think there is a lot of

interesting things we can do to instagram, i‘m excited to innovate in that space and you will see more from us coming in the year. but instagram alone can‘t solve the issue of bullying, it has to be accommodation of support from children, parents, schools, it is broader thanjust children, parents, schools, it is broader than just instagram, i children, parents, schools, it is broader thanjust instagram, i think that sometimes gets mr. 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‘re 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 to do 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 probably better than other people. the team helped billy monger get back into racing when he lost his legs in an accident in 2017. track days like this are a chance to start spot new talent like tracy, who had her leg amputated in 2010.

cancer, yeah. three times. lost my leg the fourth time. 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 my third time with team brit. so, if they hadn‘t have opened it up, i wouldn‘t be doing it. time for dan to take to the circuit. stay out to the left. now brake and then run the white line, in we go. feed the power in. going 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.

—— one of the 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 muscles around the rise that allow them to make expressions that allow them to make expressions that particularly appeal to humans. a small facial muscles allows their eyes to mimic an infant —like expression which prompts a nurturing response. the study says such puppy dog eyes help domesticated dogs to bond with humans. and to get whatever they want!

that‘s it from your afternoon live team for today. next, the bbc news at 5 with ben brown. time for a look at the weather. here‘s phil avery. hello. once again, i think it‘s the intensity of thunderstorms that we‘re expecting to see over the next few hours across the southeastern quarter of the british isles that will be making the weather headlines. and it comes as a plume of warm and moist air works its way through biscay and the continent, up into the southeastern quarter. something a little bit fresher coming in from the atlantic around that big area of low pressure still the dominant driving feature up in the northwestern quarter of the british isles, so showers there. one or two thundering showers in the first part of this evening and the first part of the nightjust grazing in across this southeastern quarter. and it‘s this zone that is the subject of this yellow warning for thunderstorms from the met office. it‘s been around for a few days but it rolls on through the rest of tonight and indeed on into wednesday and somewhere in that zone has the potential of seeing 50 millimetres, that‘s two inches of rain, before this particular event is done. so here we are into the wee small hours as one pulse of energy

works its away, one or two thunderstorms may follow on behind and then more may well gather in the central channel just in time for wednesday‘s rush hour. elsewhere, i think into northern, england perhaps the eastern borders of wales down to the south west of england, that‘ll be a humid night with bits and pieces of rain. further north than that, isolated showers and a fresher feel to the night. but first thing on wednesday that warning is still applicable. so watch out for some really heavy downpours, a lot of surface water and spray from the rain of the evening in the night. bbc local radio will keep you right up to date with proceedings. so there is this potential, as i say, anywhere to the eastern side of this weather front as it gradually swings its way ever further towards the north sea during the course of the day, allowing somewhat dry and brighter conditions eventually to break out across western england into wales. scotland, northern ireland particularly central and western areas likely to see further showers on a fresher feeling day. top temperature on the day right across the piece, round about 20 celsius or so. thursday at last something

a little bit quieter to report. still those showers around the low pressure for scotland and for northern ireland. isolated showers further south across england and wales. a fresherfeel, as i say, plenty of sunshine around and that again will push the temperatures pleasantly to round about 20 celsius as a high. and that‘s the way we go on into the weekend. high pressure building in, things beginning to calm down quite widely across the british isles, perhaps a wee bit unsettled though in the west on sunday. see you later.

today at 5pm: voting has just ended in the second ballot of the conservative leadership race, and in one hour‘s time, we will learn who is still in the running to be britain‘s next prime minister. counting is getting under way now to see which of the six candidates will make it though to the next round. we‘ll bring you the result live. those left in the contest will take part in live debate on the bbc tonight, likely to be the first big test for boris johnson, the frontrunner who‘s been accused of avoiding scrutiny. i‘m in the houses apartments. the votes are being counted upstairs on the committee corridor, we‘ll be bringing you all the and results. very soon, the focus will be on the
