hello, this is after midnight. —— afternoon live. dutch investigators have accused four men of murder for their role in the shooting down of a malaysian airlines passenger plane over eastern ukraine five years ago. three of them are russian . all are now subjects of international arrest warrants. the trial will begin in the netherlands next year with or without them. flight mh17 was on its way from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was hit with a missle, killing all 298 people on board. richard galpin reports. five years ago, the wreckage of the malaysia airlines plane lay strewn across these fields of eastern ukraine. also amongst them, the bodies of 298 people, of whom 80 were children. locals here described seeing bodies falling from the sky. the passenger plane, parts of which were later meticulously reconstructed, had been hit by a sophisticated anti—aircraft missile, which peppered the front of the aircraft with shrapnel.

this missile launcher, believed to have been used in the attack, was spotted at the time in territory controlled by pro—russian separatists. their conflict with ukrainian government forces was at its peak. today, finally, the international team which has been investigating what happened has announced it is bringing murder charges against four key people it accuses of being responsible for the deaths of so many civilians. the first is igor girkin, who is russian and a former senior intelligence officer. he is described as being the commander on the ground in eastern ukraine on the day the malaysia airlines plain was brought down. sergey dubinskiy, who is also russian, was one of igor girkin‘s deputies and, like igorgirkin, was in regular contact with moscow. another russian, oleg pulatov, a former special forces soldier, was sergey dubinskiy‘s number two. the final suspect is

the ukrainian leonid kharchenko. translation: together, they formed a chain, linking the so—called donetsk people republic with the russian for my —— russian federation. it was through this connection they were able to get heavy armoury equipment to the battlefield in ukraine and in this way, the brigade could be transported to the agricultural field and its missile could be fired, with terrible consequences. but in all likelihood, the killing of so many people will not lead to the suspects being sent to the trial in the netherlands, which is due to start in march next year, because russia does not allow suspects to be extradited. and that means for all those killed and for their families, justice is unlikely to be done. richard galpin, bbc news. our correspondent sarah rainsford is in moscow.

this will be very difficult for russia, what a reaction from them so far? the reaction that we have come to expect, i guess, from russia. the whole time that investigation has been under brasher essentially says that as moscow is not officially pa rt that as moscow is not officially part of the official investigation —— brasher before the dutch led a team get the conclusions and i said to him, if any suspects are named will brasher ta ke ste ps any suspects are named will brasher take steps to hand them over to the netherlands are well russia cooperate in questioning them. it has not changed his as our position on this is very well known. he described what happened as a correct —— horrific tragedy, but he does not

see the evidence... that is despite yea rs of see the evidence... that is despite years of forensic work by this dutch tea m years of forensic work by this dutch team to prove that moscow was involved. many detectives and prosecutors, all of the data that they picked up, particularly from mobile phones, it is going to be difficult for the russians acted on this at any point, is it not cosmic yet, but i think one thing that moscow will take from this is that the team has not pointed to any serving must offices of the russian military or anyone high up the political comment. that is something they have swayed away from. when the tea m they have swayed away from. when the team asked for that in the netherlands they said there was no evidence for that at this point. the investigation does go on. the four people who have been named, three are russian and they are firmer geo— military intelligence and former fsb members. the key word is a farmer for russia. during the conflict in

eastern ukraine, russia has maintained that this is a conflict of local origin and this is not russia, this is not a russian backed forces and these are insurgents, separatists, ukrainians working for their own personal interest. russia will continue to push that line, that it will continue to push that line, thatitis will continue to push that line, that it is nothing to do with moscow and, for the moment at least, although the evidence is damning from the dutch led enquiry, it is interesting that no russian serving officials are leading politicians have been named. might we see the three russians on television saying they like sending russian —— ukrainian churches are something like that? one of them in particular, igor girkin, he was the firmest defence minister in the donetsk people's republic. he has been a better visible character over the years, since 2014, in moscow he

has appeared on tv and any debate with one of opposition politicians. at one point a couple of years ago, he denies that the rebel groups in the armed groups in eastern ukraine had anything to do with shutting down the mh17, that plane. there is ofa down the mh17, that plane. there is of a say never been any proper holding of him to account and he has never answered any proper questions on this, but he does appear time and time again. he is not in hiding, as such. i think that denial is what we are going to continue to see from both of those who have been a kiss now and also from russian politicians, right up to the very top. —— who have been accused now. thank you very much. in an hour's time conservatives mps will start voting again in the latest round of the party's leadership contest. it will see one more of the five remaining candidates elimated. the result is expected shortly after 6 o'clock this evening. last night the contenders took part in a fractious bbc debate.

this morning the frontrunner, borisjohnson, receieved a boost when he secured the backing of the former brexit secretary dominic raab. nick eardley reports. sometimes in politics there is no time for rest. i am looking forward to getting ahead and getting the chance... sajid javid could be for the chop and so could rory stewart, who is convinced that keeping the current brexit deal, somehow persuading parliament to back it, is the only show in town. all these other people somehow believe that, by shouting saying i'm going to take pa rt by shouting saying i'm going to take part in it, that they have is a magic way to do it. it is like some ina magic way to do it. it is like some in a sock on when you can with the unionjacks all you in a sock on when you can with the union jacks all you want, but we're not going anywhere. no surprise who that was a pop at, but borisjohnson this morning when more support. including from the brexiteer can do was eliminated yesterday.”

including from the brexiteer can do was eliminated yesterday. i am throwing my backing behind boris johnson because i think is the most credible want to get is that by october. none of the candidates can see how they would deliberate their brexit vision. rory stewart cannot see how he would persuade parliament to back it is already possible —— rejected three times. the others cannot say how they would get europe to reopen negotiations. it was one of the key unanswered questions from last night's bbc debate. lots of pledges to get ahead, not as much on her. i think getting out by october the 31st is eminently feasible. her. i think getting out by october the 31st is eminently feasiblem is not a guarantee. there was this investigation into islamophobe in the 20 party. shall we have an external investigation into the xenophobia in the tory party? they all agree cosmic delegate. my colleagues, have not raised this issue and have not tested by me and

have not asked for this enquiry and have not asked for this enquiry and have consistently, quite literally, rooted out racism within the labour party, they really don't have the moral authority to keep doing that, having not dealt with that in their own... action has now been promised. we need to absolutely resolute in tackling racism and prejudice of all kinds and, absolutely, there are people in the conservative party who we need to make sure appreciate the consequences of we need to make sure appreciate the consequences of their actions. there are people who need to be rooted out of the party. we have been very vociferous and — — of the party. we have been very vociferous and —— in calling it jeremy corbyn and anti—semitism and if we're going to do that, and i think we are right to do that, we have to be whiter than white ourselves. there are now five people left in the race to be pm and by tomorrow evening it will be towed. they will have to persuade conservative members they can tackle the tories problems and deliver our eu departure. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in the central lobby

of the houses of parliament. apart from the disappearance of rory stewa rt‘s apart from the disappearance of rory stewart's tie, what else are they discussing their today cosmic i still think the issue of brexit is the dominating thinker. it was not entirely clear from any of the candidates how they expect to secure an exit from the eu, with or without an exit from the eu, with or without a deal. a lot of questions about that. many pills are still trying to beat between the lines about what it candidate —— many mps are still trying to read between the lines about what it candidate is offering. sajid javid squeaked home yesterday getting in with just three votes. they's ballot is going to be very close. i would say to any of my colleagues that any sick every single vote is going to count on that ballot this afternoon. i believe sajid javid can and will progress. he offers the opportunity

of uniting the party in the country and reaching out beyond our core vote to people who would not ordinarily put conservative. that's exactly what we need to do in order to any future general elections. you mention brexit in rome to go and watching that debate last night, i thought sajid javid had the most compelling brexit plan, it was extremely clear. he talked about paying irish to set up technology on border but lots of people are saying that that technology does not exist and will not be ready for a long, long time. with about 25 experts... including experts in customs and international borders who will be proposing in detail, precisely those kinds of arrangements that can make a customs border and a regulatory body work. without needing to have the physical infrastructure on the border. sajid javid is the only

candidate who recognises that there will be some costs that will fall on the irish government and it is only fair that if we are asking them to work with this unless they know scott should full honours. i think that could be a game changer in the negotiations. we will get the result that 6pm today, it is the obvious that 6pm today, it is the obvious that rory stewart and sajid javid at the bottom two in this contest. would it be best for sajid javid to drop out and say who is going to back? no, i do not. i believe he is the best tobacco party. he had a big pick—up in support from the ballot yesterday. —— pick—up in support from the ballot yesterday. — — to pick—up in support from the ballot yesterday. —— to back the party. many mps will be thinking about that choice, sajid javid or rory stewart, as they decide to cast their votes, but i'm very clear that the person i wa nt but i'm very clear that the person i want to win today and subsequently become per minister is sajid javid and my support for him is completely

firm, unwavering and enthusiastic. 0k, firm, unwavering and enthusiastic. ok, we can tell. thank you very much indeed. we will get that result at 6pm. a lot of people around here are trying to work out where those votes from dominic raab are likely to go now that dropped out of the race. the issue of brexit being discussed by the shadow cabinet right now and labour is meeting to discuss its strategy? jeremy corbyn has been in some difficulty over this, they have had a brother and approach to whether they are going to back a second referendum if not —— had a rather difficult approach of... lots of mps are saying, they have got to get behind a second referendum, farmer clearly and campaign to remain. there is a discussion going on at shadow cabinet about what they do about that and i can tell you that there has been a letter written

by several labour mps, representing lead constituencies, winning the party not to go down that road. one paragraph there is a commitment to a second referendum would be toxic to our bedrock labour voters, driving a wedge between them and our bedrock labour voters, driving a wedge between them and their party, jeopardising avril as a party of the whole nation and getting the populist right and even bigger platform and heartlands. —— there are many mps, 27 of them signing, who represent elite constituencies. there are very worried about the challenge from the brexit party. —— who represent leave constituencies. theresa may hoped that they would get behind her deal at one point, had they any of them did. if the 27 had they any of them did. if the 27 had voted for her deal, we would be at. thank you very much, the key.

and a reminder, you can follow our coverage of the conservative leadership contest today. voting in the third ballot is due to take place between 3pm and 5pm this afternoon. and there will be an announcement of who's through to the next round at 6 o'clock, live on the bbc news channel. the bbc has issued a statement in response to complaints about the selection of abdullah patel as one it has since emerged that the imam had previously made critical comments about israel and women. the bbc said background checks had been carried out, including his online and social media profiles, but researchers were unaware of a twitter account which was only reactivated by him after the programme was broadcast. he has now been suspended from his position as deputy head at al ashraf primary school in gloucester. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines... wanted for mass murder — four men are identified charged with shooting down malaysian airliner mh17 over ukraine, killing almost 300 people. conservative mps prepare to vote again this afternoon in the latest round of

the tory leadership contest. a un investigator says there's evidence the saudi crown prince was behind the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi. smart money — £150 million is given to oxford university for a new institute that will study the ethics of artificial intelligence. and in sport it is a must win for scotla nd and in sport it is a must win for scotland who must‘ve been in paris tonight. they need to beat argentina tonight. they need to beat argentina to reach any —— for any chance to reach the knockout stage. england are already through, just a draw in japan with see them finish top of their group. and south africa are making a slow work of the win that would keep their hopes of reaching the semifinals of the cricket world cup at night. they are 136—4. i will be back with more and all of the stories later in the hour.

a woman in her eighties is in a serious condition after an accident involving a police motorbike which was part of a convoy escorting the duke and duchess of cambridge. prince william and kate were travelling from london to windsor when the woman was injured on monday. kensington palace said the royal couple are "deeply concerned and saddened", and have been in touch with the woman. sarah campbell is in east sheen where the accident happened. just bring us up—to—date on what exactly happened on monday? as you say, it is the junction exactly happened on monday? as you say, it is thejunction behind me, thatis say, it is thejunction behind me, that is where the accident happened. it was just before 1pm on monday afternoon. as you are saying the duke and duchess of cambridge were on their way from kensington palace to windsor palace —— windsor to attend a royal engagement and they we re attend a royal engagement and they were travelling in a convoy of vehicles travelling in that direction. what we understand is that motorcycle riders, as they do, they are known as a special escort group, they travel on ahead of the

convoy, they stop junctions and they make sure the path is clear for the convoy to happen. that is when this collision happened. we understand the collision was between a motorbike and a pedestrian and the pedestrian has been in as irena mayor who is 80 years old. london airambulance was mayor who is 80 years old. london air ambulance was called at 12:32pm and two doctors and a paramedic from their treated mrs meyer here on the road. witnesses say that she was being treated for over half an hour and was then taken off by land ambulance, where she is described in hospital as being any serious but condition. our understanding is that the duke and duchess of cambridge did not see what was happened, they we re did not see what was happened, they were made aware when they reach their destination. they have sent flowers to the family and our intimate contact with them. kensington palace released an official statement earlier saying, they were concerned and are saddened

and will stay in touch throughout every stage of mrs mayor's recovery. thank you very much. a united nations investigator says there's credible evidence the crown prince of saudi arabia was behind the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi. the journalist, a critic of the prince, was last seen at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october where it's believed he was murdered and his body dismembered. our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. jamal khashoggi was a columnist for the washington post and a prominent critic of the saudi leadership. on october the 2nd last year, he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul to get some papers he needed to get married. he was never seen again. the un special rapporteur concluded he was the victim of a deliberate, premeditated execution by the saudi state.

the 100—page report, based on interviews, recordings and cctv footage, sets out in grim detail how officials at the saudi consulate planned and carried out the murder. from the initial struggle, to the sound of the body being dismembered. the report names many of the saudi individuals who flew into istanbul and are suspected of involvement. but crucially, it also says mohammed bin salman, the crown prince and de facto ruler of saudi arabia, should also be investigated, saying every expert they consulted agreed it was inconceivable he was not aware of the operation. the special rapporteur has determined that there is credible evidence, warranting further investigation of high—level saudi officials' individual liability, including the crown prince's. the independent investigator also said the crown prince should be subject to targeted sanctions by un member states until evidence is produced proving

he has no responsibility. saudi investigators have long denied the crown prince was involved and 11 suspects are facing a secret trial inside the country. but the report said the saudi investigation into the death of mr khashoggi had failed to meet international standards and the trial should be suspended. an american billionaire has given oxford university £150 million, the largest single donation ever made to a uk university. the money from stephen schwarzman will be used to create a new institute for ethics in artificial intelligence. the uk government said it was a "globally significant" investment in britain. mr schwarzman told the bbc why he decided to donate... the scientists now agree that they want ai introduced in an ethical way, because they don't want to experience the downsides and lack of control for society that they have with the internet.

and so i think this is one of the major issues of our age. because ai is going to come, it's really unstoppable. it's notjust ai, it's robotics and all kinds of other computer science innovations. and so the opportunity to do something with oxford, which has the number one humanities department in the world, and the number one philosophy department. and we are now into an era where we have great technology, but we've got to catch up with it with core western society values. let's have a look at the weather. some dramatic pictures.

please stay safe if you're going to be taking these photographs. should i show you some? we had 1000 lightning strikes around the eastbourne area just one hour and more in south—east england. these arejust a few more in south—east england. these are just a few of the pictures that we have picked out to show you. you can see the extremity of that lightning, it is incredible how the charge in these massive thunderstorms and how you get the particles moving up and down, building up the static electricity until it breaks and you get this huge discharge. and, of course, the sound of the air rapidly expanding gives us the thundery sand as well. you can see how wild it looked and if you were enjoying nature is a pyrex yesterday evening, i'm it was spectacular. i do not think i could get that, i could be too busy

watching what was happening. there is some light at the end of this, as the? not the state, but a different type of light. we need to be in, but it has come all at once. we had that humid aircoming up it has come all at once. we had that humid air coming up bringing all these thunderstorms in that area still with us today. we are coming back into the atlantic, cooler, fresher and less humid air as we go through tomorrow and friday. through the course of ready high pressure sta rts the course of ready high pressure starts to build and that is the light at the end of the tunnel, for those who want some dry weather to enjoy the lush, green gardens. to is all about? that is the problem with summer all about? that is the problem with summer rain, of course. we need living, but we get the room and it gets evaporated when the sun comes out and were coming up to the summer solstice. this is the greater picture of the storms last night. really intense. about 40 millimetres fell in some parts of essex. these

are different areas to those affected last week. there is still the opportunity, the chance, to get if you storms imported from france has begun to get if you storms imported from france has begun through the afternoon, the opposite end of the country there are sunshine and showers. there are also some good spells of sunshine a drier weather in between. there are those storms looking across the channel, as you can see here, and the potential for them to come across the channel again through the day and give us some more nature's fabrics. do take care as there may be some surface water flooding because of it is fairly warm met there and it feels quite humid because of that moist air that is coming up. we're changing that air mass to the net and we said goodbye to the stormy air free time and we're back the atlantic air for showers. overnight at the humidity drops it will be quite comfortable —— were comfortable for sleeping. but it does come back again, that humidity. tomorrow looks more like a

straight sunny with showery spells a day. no thunder like we have seen and could potentially see again today. the temptress will be on a par what we have seen today, but the humidity will be lower. —— the temperatures will be on par with what we have seen today. on friday we see the and there's high pressure makes its first appearance for the month ofjune, to give us some dry weather. and on the summer solstice as we into friday. just a few showers in the north and west, much drier and lighter winds. there were the cloud. we really will enjoy the feel of that warm sunshine, temperatures start to respond and we are in the low ten 20s in the south and the high teens in the north. a fine day on saturday, plenty more dry weather to come. there is just a chance at low pressure will creep into the south and east —— sorry the south and west for sunday. that will

increase the temperatures as we go into next week and also increase argumentative. that is what is potentially on the way, at long last, there journey we potentially on the way, at long last, therejourney we may potentially on the way, at long last, there journey we may see some drier weather. we will keep you up dated and the wordings are on the website. —— wordings.

this is bbc news. our latest headlines. four men are identified and charged with shooting down mh17 over ukraine, killing almost 300 people. conservative mps prepare to vote again this afternoon in the latest round of the tory leadership contest. aun contest. a un investigator says there is evidence that the saudi crown is was behind the murder of jamal khashoggi. £150 million is given to oxford university for a new institute that will study the ethics of artificial intelligence. let's have a look at the sport. let's have a look at the sport. let's talk about the women's world cup. scotland, it is not entirely in

their control but this is a make or break match. it is a huge moment for scotland. both scotland and england are playing their final group games in the competition later but this is a big one for scotland. a must win game for them against argentina. they play in paris and they need a win to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stages. they will need to put the defeat against england andjapan to put the defeat against england and japan behind them to get a win that would give them a chance to qualify for the last 16. but even then, they still need other results to go their way. it would be huge. that is what i mean by, it is amazing being here, but it would be even more amazing to prove a point and to be able to achieve something while being here. in that form, that would be getting out of the group. it is great that people can see as being here but for

people can see as being here but for people to see us be successful here would mean even more. and they have played well in patches. certainly that second half against england. you mentioned england. things are looking nice for them. they are in nice. it has been lovely weather out in france. the polar opposite of what it has been here. they face japan later. they wins against scotland and argentina mean they only need to draw to top the group. that should ensure an easier tie in the last 16 but both sides of the draw have some difficult fixtures to come. we have come into this world cup having beaten the likes of usa, france, germany. we compete against them in every single game that we play. we are no pushover and that shows now. we know we have got as good a chance as anyone to win any

game. there is coverage of both scotland and england, both matches across the bbc. paul scholes has apologised after being fined £8,000 by the fa for breaking their rules on betting. the former england and manchester united midfielder placed 140 beds between 2015 and january this year totalling over £25,000 and making a £5,000 profit. he said he did not realise he was not allowed tibet on matches. south africa are making slow work of eight against new zealand in a match isa eight against new zealand in a match is a need to win to stand any chance of qualifying for the semifinals of the cricket world cup. they came delayed by a wet outfield so it is

reduced to fewer overs. they can overta ke reduced to fewer overs. they can overtake england at the top of the table with a win. live coverage is on test match special and the bbc sport website at the moment. the french open champion is through to the second round at the wta event in birmingham. it was the australian's first match since winning in paris a week—and—a—half ago as she beat her croatian opponent. much better weather in birmingham as opposed to in london at the moment. this is queen's club where they are attempting to play catch after yesterday's complete wash—out. but the covers are on. we are due to see kyle edmund in action on the main court. you can watch the action on

bbc two and on the bbc sport website when it gets under way. before that, dan evans was at the against stan wawrinka. he was leading when rain stopped play. there where playing its part, as it is with you in london at the moment. we can see from the conditions at queens. i will give you more updates on the weather throughout the afternoon. now let's get more on the news that four men have been charged with the murder of almost 300 people killed when a passenger plane was brought down in eastern ukraine almost five yea rs down in eastern ukraine almost five years ago. dutch prosecutors have issued arrest warrants for three russians and a ukrainian. here is the chief public prosecutor of the netherlands with more on the suspects.

translation: the public prosecution service suspects the four suspects of the fact they plan on and around july 2014 have led to the shooting of flight mh17. even though they have not pushed the button themselves, there is a suspicion that they have closely cooperated in order to obtain the ammunition and placed it at the launch site. therefore, they can be considered to be suspects together of shooting flight be suspects together of shooting flight mh17. in dutch criminal law, persons who are not present themselves during the implementation ofa themselves during the implementation of a crime but do play an important organising role are just as punishable as the persons who have actually committed the crime. my actually committed the crime. my colleague has been in the

netherlands where that press conference was being held and spoke toa conference was being held and spoke to a parent whose son died in the crash. what is your feeling about the russian behaviour in all this? disgusting. they are only lying. they don't cooperate. they provide fa ke they don't cooperate. they provide fake news. when you see the fake news about this and those are lies, what do you feel? i get angry. yes. just say the truth or say nothing. who do you think is ultimately responsible for what happened that day, shooting down that plane? vladimir putin. he knows everything. this could not have happened without his permission. and can you give us a sense of your emotions today, hearing the news that four people will be charged ?

hearing the news that four people will be charged? i think the murder of my children and all the other victims, somebody must pay for that. yes. i can't commit a murder and run away and live my life. impossible. and you think they will be more prosecutions? yes, i think so. higher in rank and maybe the military, people who pushed the button. do you think ultimately they will be justice for button. do you think ultimately they will bejustice for all button. do you think ultimately they will be justice for all this? yes, i think so. why? that is kind of a promise. they are working on it. the investigation is still going on and they get more information almost every day.

the government has been accused of not doing enough to protect major public venues from the threat of terrorist attacks. a former national counterterrorism coordinator is calling for legislation to enforce improved security checks. a campaign for better security was started in memory of a man who died in the manchester arena attack. security screening has become part of modern life. arriving at a venue, most people don't give searches a second thought. memories are still fresh from the attacks of 2017. people died on my watch. that's a burden that i will carry. former chief superintendent nick aldworth was responsible for keeping the uk secure from terrorism. now he is warning that new legislation is needed to make sure venues are safe, and says the voluntary nature of the government's current strategy is too relaxed. i don't think that they're either being fast enough or being innovative enough in what needs to be done. and anything less than new legislation is a compromise.

we have the potential for places to be attacked, and for the consequence of those attacks, should they happen, to be far worse than they needed to be. after the spate of attacks in 2017, the government gave the police more money to increase the number of vehicle barriers like this one. but those pushing for new legislation say security shouldn'tjust be the responsibility of public bodies, but also venue operators in the private sector. martyn hett was one of 22 people killed in the explosion at manchester arena. before martyn died, i wouldn't have had a clue about any of this. it wasn't on my radar. his mother has been campaigning for a law in his name, to make it compulsory for every venue to plan for the threat of an attack. are you saying we need to become barrier britain,

have a security arch in front of every venue? no, absolutely not. when i think of people like martyn, who enjoyed all these events without having to go through loads and loads of security, we are talking about common sense here. it could just be, you know, people being trained in recognising suspicious behaviour. it can be even as basic as that. figen already has the support of some venues, who say they don't see extra legislation as a problem. i'd actually almost flip it on its head and look at it as a business opportunity, and say, well, actually, if we can demonstrate that we're putting the appropriate measures in place to ensure the security of the visitors, the venue, the employees, then actually that's got to be a good thing. the government says it's considering further legislation and is keen to discuss the security issue with those that are campaigning for martyn's law. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester.

the public confidence in life—saving vaccines is worryingly low in some parts of the world. a study found that a fifth of people in europe either fell vaccines are not safe or we re either fell vaccines are not safe or were unsure about their safety. vaccines are one of our best defences against deadly and debilitating diseases. but some preventable illnesses like measles are making a resurgence, and experts at the world health organization say people avoiding immunisation is a major concern. now the world's biggest survey to public attitudes reveals where vaccination confidence is low. the wellcome trust asked the opinion of more than 140,000 people in over 150 countries. worldwide, eight in ten people agree that vaccines are safe. a similar proportion agree that they are effective. but while most people in lower income areas feel vaccines are safe, confidence in higher income regions is more varied.

around one fifth of people in europe either disagree or are unsure of whether vaccines are safe. the lowest confidence globally is in france, where one third disagree that vaccines are safe. in ukraine, which reported the highest number of measles cases in europe last year, only half of people agree that vaccines are effective. so what's making people sceptical? in the survey, people with more trust in scientists, doctors, and nurses were more likely to trust vaccines. but the researchers say there will be many factors at play. vaccination is a personal choice, but it does more than just protect an individual. it can defend whole communities and the most vulnerable, including babies and young children. michelle roberts, bbc news. the business news injust a moment

a sausage and what is a burger? simple questions but the answers are getting a little bit more complex. food produces increasingly offering that these items with no meat in them. there is an eu proposal to say you can't call something a sausage if there is no meat in it but campaigners disagree. there is a house of lords hearing on the subject today? absolutely. what isa the subject today? absolutely. what is a burger? haven't we got anything else going on? people are very passionate about it. the american central bank is about to cut its main interest rate? not yet, but it is about to release a statement. there is some mood music about the way interest rates are going to go. things have really changed this year with the problems over trade, the trade wars and so

on. there is a feeling there is a slowdown in the global economy, not just america, and as a result monetary policy is going to have to be relaxed. yesterday, we had the head of the european central bank saying that there was a possibility of interest rates here going lower. we had president trump reacting, saying he is trying to many believe the currency, trying to get an unfair advantage over america. he had been implying that they are going to lower interest rates in the united states to make it a bit easier. we can talk to our north american business correspondence. everyone is hanging on this statement because it is really going to set the tone for the rest of the year. as you pointed out, the majority of people do not believe we are going to see a rise at this meeting, but everyone is going to be looking very closely at the statement that the federal reserve releases and what they are going to

signal in terms of what we can see for future rate rises. signal in terms of what we can see forfuture rate rises. there are signal in terms of what we can see for future rate rises. there are a lot of people that believe we may see an interest rate cut at the next meeting at the end ofjuly. just to ta ke meeting at the end ofjuly. just to take a step back for a minute, even at the beginning of this year, we we re at the beginning of this year, we were talking about the potential of up were talking about the potential of up to three rate rises. it is amazing that six months later, we are now talking about potentially cutting interest rates. so the market love the idea. on one hand, thatis market love the idea. on one hand, that is very good for the economy because people feel it will stimulator demand for stocks, but on the other hand, people say we are cutting interest rates because the economy is looking on an edge. exactly. what they are looking at is, what people at the federal reserve are going to be looking at is some of the economic information they are getting. although we see right now that the us economy is

chugging along, their worry is that there are some indications that perhaps down the line we may see some softening in the uk —— us economy. there are concerns especially how some of the trade policies we are seeing coming from the white house and what kind of an impact that is having on the overall strength of not only the us economy by the global economy as well. but we haven't seen this coming through in any of the numbers. employment is still at very high levels, the economy is growing at 3.1% i think in the states, we have got housing, we have got demand, we have got consumers doing well. where is the problem? yes, if you look at the labour market, the labour rate is still doing quite well but you have to look at the participation rate, which is still at some low levels. and you have to look at where we have seen some of the job creation numbers over the last few months. we have seen that there have been less jobs created in the last three

months than economists were expecting and we have even seen them being revised even further downward. when you see it happen once in a month, people say it is a blip, but now we are seeing a month, people say it is a blip, but now we are seeing a bit of a pattern in terms of the softness in the labour market, in terms of creating jobs. that is something that people are looking at as something to watch out for. but it is also the impact of all this uncertainty that is having on business. businesses are not as inclined to be spending as much money and we are seeing that consumers are starting to become a little bit more sensitive to spending money. this could all have a significant impact on the us economy going forward. this is what the economists at the federal reserve are looking at. thank you very much. yes, the markets. at a little bit. one of the

things it has been doing is rising very sharply. it is a broad index, it takes in a lot more of the shares than the dowel. it is very close to an all—time high. that is all in the hope that lower interest rates will stimulator the economy. if we get lower interest rates. the pound a little bit stronger than yesterday but not a whole amount stronger. thank you very much. donald trump has officially launched his bid for re—election as president in 2020. at a rally in florida, he told his supporters that the american economy is the envy of the world and he repeated attacks on hillary clinton, illegal immigrants and what he calls the fake news media.

503 days to go until america's next presidential election, but donald trump is already heading off to do what he loves best, hitting the campaign trail. i stand before you to officially launch my campaign for a second term as president of the united states. thank you. it was four years and three days ago that donald trump made his dramatic entry into the race for the presidency. nobody took seriously that candidacy but thanks to some controversial messages on issues such as immigration and trade, he built a coalition to take the white house. he told his orlando audience that they had built a whole new political movement. it isa political movement. it is a movement made up of hard—working patriots who love their country, love their flag, hard—working patriots who love their country, love theirflag, love hard—working patriots who love their country, love their flag, love their children.

in truth, this rally was mostly a rerun of well trodden territory. attacks on hillary clinton, fake news and illegal immigrants. so what do his supporters want now? we are going to move the economy along some more, more jobs, he going to move the economy along some more, morejobs, he is promising to build a wall. he said he was going to do that, so i like that. just being in the white house gives donald trump a huge political advantage going into next year's election, but his appeal has always been as the outsider, as the non—politician, as the insurgent, and recreating that a second time around won't be easy. now, with more than 70 films to his name, john malkovich is regarded as one of america's most versatile actors. after a break of almost 30

yea rs, actors. after a break of almost 30 years, he returns to the west end tonight in a new play tackling the recent abuse scandals that have rocked hollywood. the story of a depraved hollywood mogul and his abuse of power. the play is a work of fiction with echoes of real life. can we buy it? can we scare him? there is talk that it is based on harvey weinstein. is it?|j there is talk that it is based on harvey weinstein. is it? iwould there is talk that it is based on harvey weinstein. is it? i would say thatis harvey weinstein. is it? i would say that is a starting point. it is not harvey but i'm sure it recalled certain aspects of harvey's, the behaviour he is charged with. once when hollywood's powerful figures, harvey weinstein will stand trial in september accused of rate and sexual assault. he denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex. you describe

this play as a black farce. is this subject matter suitable for a farce? people made farces of hitler, who decides when something can be funny or not funny? the international date line, i a lwa ys the international date line, i always thought that would be a great name for a dating service. you have made over 70 films. where you away during your long film career that this sort of behaviour, as talked about in this play, was going on? no? -- no. not an inkling? i had overheard things that may not be ideal in terms of what you come to work for. i did not really ever have discussions about it. did some

people know it was going on, i'm sure they must have. what is it? is something troubling you? the allegations against harvey weinstein fuelled the me to movement with more people coming forward with claims of sexual abuse. do you think we have heard the worst or do you fear there is more to come? do i think it is the last of it? i doubt it. it is a very tough. what is to end unless bad behaviour ends and i don't see bad behaviour ending any time soon. now, in america, i am going to show you some pictures of hp robocop. california police have revealed this. they call it an autonomous data machine, equipped with a 360 degrees video camera. it is built to

survey areas such as degrees video camera. it is built to survey areas such as parks and city buildings. it recites phrases to members of the public such as excuse members of the public such as excuse me and good day to you. the robot is meant for outdoor patrols and will be able to monitor areas like parks, city buildings and corridors where police officers might not be able to reach. it has got its own twitter page. i havejust been looking reach. it has got its own twitter page. i have just been looking at that. someone replied, i give this thing five days before a thief figures out how to tip it over. if they do build a british version, they do build a british version, they are likely to say, you are nicked. anyway, that is the latest from california of hp robocop. let's have a look at the weather while i still have a job. thank you very much indeed. from a robot to a very dramatic —looking

scarborough. we have had some very dramatic pictures sent in in the past 24 hours. that of the storms across the eastern side of england. a thousand lightning strikes in just an hour in eastbourne. the chances are we could see more storms and any of the satellite picture here. they could come up later today. behind it, the atlantic air has taken over for scotland and northern ireland. sunny spells and scattered showers for the remainder of the day. no guarantees they will be downpours but if you do get when they could be surface water flooding. temperature wise this afternoon we are seeing high teens to low 20s, which is pretty much where they should be at this time of year. it has been so wet of late. overnight, they showers tend to continue in the north and west but ease away in the southern and eastern areas. a somewhat more

co mforta ble and eastern areas. a somewhat more comfortable night for sleeping and a much sunnier start to our day tomorrow. but there will be a fair breeze tomorrow so no where near as widely heavy as we have had. they will be the odd rumble of thunder. that breeze will push them across the country quite swiftly but for most one or two showers. temperatures are very similar to today but it will feel a bit fresher. we will be losing that humidity and we are gaining by friday, the longest day, high pressure, which we haven't seen all month and will be welcome news for many. we have needed the rain but at the same time things do need to dry out just a the same time things do need to dry outjust a little bit at the same time things do need to dry out just a little bit at the the same time things do need to dry outjust a little bit at the moment. we will have a much drier day on the whole. for the north, there will still be showers around, so whether cloud elsewhere, but it will be drierfor most of cloud elsewhere, but it will be drier for most of us. lighter winds and so it will feel warm up with the strong june sunshine. temperatures will leap upa strong june sunshine. temperatures will leap up a couple of degrees. similar over the weekend. as you can

see, saturday and sunday, most places are dry. low pressure could meander into the western side of the uk on sunday. but the south—easterly wind, as we go into next week, brings in the warmth and humidity again and by next week we may have a temperatures into the mid 20 celsius. we haven't seen that for a while.

hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at 3pm... wanted for mass murder — four men are identified charged with shooting down malaysian airliner mh17 over ukraine, killing almost 300 people. the jit suspects the four men of having played a significant role in the death of 298 innocent civilians. conservative mps prepare to vote again this afternoon in the latest round of the tory leadership contest. a un investigator says there's evidence the saudi crown prince was behind the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi.

smart money — £150 million is given to oxford university for a new institute that will study the ethics of artificial intelligence. and all the sport withjohn watson. it is make or break for scotland if they are to reach the knockout stage of the women's world cup. and helen will be here with the weather. well, the weather hasn't thrown everything at this june, but at long last, high pressure is on its way. we will go from scenes like this in scarborough to sunshine by the end of the week, if not before. we will also be hearing about uk betting firms offering money to tackle problem gambling.

hello, this is afternoon live. dutch investigators have accused four men of murder for their role in the shooting down of a malaysian airlines passenger plane over eastern ukraine five years ago. three of them are russian all are now subjects of international arrest warrants. the trial will begin in the netherlands next year with or without them. flight mh17 was on its way from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was hit with a missle, killing all 298 people on board. richard galpin reports. five years ago, the wreckage of the malaysia airlines plane lay strewn across these fields of eastern ukraine. also amongst them, the bodies of 298 people, of whom 80 were children. locals here described seeing bodies falling from the sky. the passenger plane, parts of which were later meticulously reconstructed, had been hit by a sophisticated anti—aircraft missile, which peppered the front of the aircraft with shrapnel. this missile launcher,

believed to have been used in the attack, was spotted at the time in territory controlled by pro—russian separatists. their conflict with ukrainian government forces was at its peak. today, finally, the international team which has been investigating what happened has announced it is bringing murder charges against four key people it accuses of being responsible for the deaths of so many civilians. the first is igor girkin, who is russian and a former senior intelligence officer. he is described as being the commander on the ground in eastern ukraine on the day the malaysia airlines plain was brought down. sergey dubinskiy, who is also russian, was one of igor girkin's deputies and, like igorgirkin, was in regular contact with moscow. another russian, oleg pulatov, a former special forces soldier, was sergey dubinskiy‘s number two. the final suspect is the ukrainian leonid kharchenko.

translation: together, they formed a chain, linking the so—called donetsk people republic with the russian for my —— russian federation. it was through this connection they were able to get heavy military equipment to the battlefield in ukraine and in this way, the brigade could be transported to the agricultural field and its missile could be fired, with terrible consequences. but, in all likelihood, the killing of so many people will not lead to the suspects being sent to the trial in the netherlands, which is due to start in march next year, because russia does not allow suspects to be extradited. and that means for all those killed and for their families, justice is unlikely to be done. richard galpin, bbc news. our correspondent sarah rainsford is in moscow. has there been any reaction to this

there? russia has made its position clear a ll there? russia has made its position clear all along and reiterated that again today, with a kremlin spokesman saying, russia's position has not changed. it does not trust this investigation, basically, to be biased —— not to be biased. that is because ukraine is involved in a formal investigation and russia is not. ukraine is involved because this plane was brought down on ukrainian territory, russia is the country to which the finger of blame is being pointed and that is why russia is not part of the formal investigation. but the point was made today, several times, during this presentation by a dutch led investigation team, that russia has been asked a number of direct questions, to which it has failed to get any answers at all, in fact, the dutch prosecutor has said that russia's actions had been the case that any face to the relatives of the victims on that flight. as i say, russia is simply saying that it

does not trust the investigation, the investigation is accusing bush of not cooperating at all. and the russians have been told that this trial of the men will go ahead with or without them and there? —— investigation is accusing russia of not cooperating at all. the constitution of the country does not allow that. the chance of rush aid questioning these people are slim to nonexistent full stop when asked the —— they represent at the kremlin said that russia's position it was clear. vladimir putin was at a year ago and he said it is not a proper investigation, unless russia is involved. there are other versions, other theories and we have heard from russia before, the allegation that the matter was in fact fired from ukraine in fact fired from ukrainian controlled territory. we have also heard a suggestion from

the defence ministry that the defence missiles, the fragments of the matter that we discovered, that russia does not have this missiles anymore in its arsenal. these are all things that are investigating says it has looked at and russia says it has looked at and russia says it has looked at and russia says it is not being taken into consideration as evidence that this is not a proper investigation, is mr putin calls it, at all. thank you. some breaking news coming in from the british gas company centrica saying it is going to cutjobs as pa rt saying it is going to cutjobs as part of the previously announced reductions. they say it is in response to the growing challenges that the company places, this coming as any chief executor of the company, as he announced his pay last year would go up 44% to £2.4 million. but centrica planning a number of issues it had and also

announce 4000 job cuts last year, while british gas had lost 42,000 energy supply accounts. we'll bring you more in the business news later on. conservatives mps will be voting again in the latest round of the party's leadership contest. it will see one more of the five remaining candidates elimated. the result is expected shortly after 6 pm this evening. last night the contenders took part in a fractious bbc debate. this morning the frontrunner, borisjohnson, receieved a boost when he secured the backing of the former brexit secretary dominic raab. nick eardley reports. sometimes in politics, there is little room for rest. i was really pleased to get through yesterday and i'm looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead and making my case. tory mps will vote again this afternoon, getting rid of another candidate in the race to be our pm. sajid javid could be for the chop, so could rory stewart, who is convinced keeping the current brexit

deal, somehow persuading parliament to back it, is the only show in town. all these other people somehow believe that by shouting and saying i'm going to take britain out, that they have some magic way to do it. it is like some man stuck on a zip wire. you can wave the unionjack all you want, but you are not going anywhere. no prizes for guessing who that was a pop at. but this morning, borisjohnson won more support, this time from the brexiteer candidate eliminated yesterday. i am throwing my weight behind borisjohnson. i think he's the one who is the most credible to get us out of the eu by the end of october. many of dominic raab's supporters will follow suit. but none of the candidates can say exactly how they will deliver their brexit vision. rory stewart cannot say how exactly how he would persuade parliament to back a deal it has already rejected three times. the others can't say how they would persuade europe to reopen negotiations, something brussels has repeatedly said they just won't do. that was one of the key unanswered questions from last night's

bbc debate. lots of pledges to get out, not so much on how. october 31st is eminently feasible. that is not a guarantee. but there was this pledge, to hold an investigation into allegations of islamophobia in the tory party. guys, shall we have an external investigation in the conservative party into islamophobia? so they all agree? excellent, they agree. some say that promise has taken too long. my colleagues who have not raised this issue, who have not stood by me, who have not asked for this inquiry and have consistently, quite rightly, rooted out racism within the labour party, well, they really don't have the moral authority to keep doing that, having not dealt with it in their own party. action, though, is now being promised. we need to be absolutely resolute in tackling racism and prejudice of all kinds and, absolutely, there are people in the conservative party who we need to make sure appreciate the consequences of their actions. there are people who

need to be rooted out of the party. we have been very vociferous in calling out jeremy corbyn and anti—semitism and if we are going to do that, and i think we are right to do that, then we have to be whiter than white ourselves. all the while opposition parties get ready for our new pm and tested attack lines for our new pm. the borisjohnson has described muslim women as letterboxes and other people as having watermelon smiles, if that is not racist and i do not know what is. the term racist is not used lightly in here. for now, there are five people left in the race to be pm. by tomorrow evening, it will be two and they will have to persuade conservative members they can tackle the tories' problems and deliver

our eu departure. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in the central lobby of the houses of parliament. it goes on. it does go on, round three i think we are on it. they have started aborting upstairs enigmatic order and everyone is in place, cutting their boats and we will get the —— they have started voting upstairs in the college and eve ryo ne voting upstairs in the college and everyone is in place, casting their votes a nd everyone is in place, casting their votes and we will get the results later. where is rory stewart going to get support from? he is unlikely to get support from? he is unlikely to get support from? he is unlikely to get support from dominic raab, so where has it getting it from? you would be surprised, we are getting it from all over the place. our campaign is quite under the radar support as we are getting quite support. i would say that i am never confident, i have been a nervous wreck at every single one of these works, but i think we did well yesterday, much better than people

anticipated yesterday. we put on 95% of our boat, which is not bad. i think we will be ok. —— our vote. what is the message that rory stewart is getting across? he is appealing to people beyond the tory party, but this contest he has appealed to people within the tory party? i think that is part of the problem. he believes in honesty in politics, that is what makes a different, and in straight talking and that is what attracted me to supporting him. i got to know him when he worked as the prisons ministerand when he worked as the prisons minister and there is no rubbish with roddy. he will tell you that there is a problem and what you see is what you get. in the present sector i started to be really impressed with his problem solving approach to communicating —— and his communication with the general public. do you think the tory party wants to hear these a

true this cosmic i was one of his supporters and i thought i better tell my membership before i came out in support of roddy stewart. the responses i got were overwhelmingly positive. —— borisjohnson. responses i got were overwhelmingly positive. -- boris johnson. a running when the countryside with a bubbly telephone... and talking to real people and listening to real people. i think people do like that. why did he take his tie midway through the debate? my personal theory is that he got too hot, but i do not have a clue! thank you very much indeed. candidate started to get nervous, just like yesterday. much indeed. candidate started to get nervous, just like yesterdaylj get nervous, just like yesterday.” was like that answer, you would be surprised where support is coming from. i want to about labour,

because there is a shadow cabinet meeting coming on to discuss their strategy of brexit. there is a lot of talk about whetherjeremy corbyn will move more clearly behind a second referendum. he has been under a lot of pressure from party members and some of his mps to do so. this is not easy for labour either. they have a lot of mps who represent constituencies that voted to leave and they have written to the shadow cabinet to say, please do not go too far down that road. they say commitment to a second referendum would be toxic to bedrock labour voters, driving a wedge between them and our party, jeopardising our role asa and our party, jeopardising our role as a party of the whole nation and giving the popular straight and either greater platform in our nation's heartlands. oh, dear, we have lost vicky. that does not help

me, i still cannot hear you. i, have lost vicky. that does not help me, istill cannot hearyou. i, you have unplugged it. just wave goodbye. thank you very much. technology! and a reminder, you can follow our coverage of the conservative leadership contest today. voting in the third ballot is due to take place between 3pm and 5pm this afternoon. and there will be an announcement of who's through to the next round at 6pm, live on the bbc news channel. now, an imam who questioned the conservative leadership debate candidates last night has been suspended from his school. he lives in gloucester and he is the question about islamophobia. it has since emerged that the imam had previously made critical comments about israel and women. the bbc said background checks had been carried out, including his online and social media profiles, but researchers were unaware of a twitter account which was only reactivated by him

after the programme was broadcast. when they did the background checks, they say that his old account had been deactivated so they could not do those checks. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines... wanted for mass murder — four men are identified charged with shooting down malaysian airliner mh17 over ukraine, killing almost 300 people. conservative mps prepare to vote again this afternoon in the latest round of the tory leadership contest. a un investigator says there's evidence the saudi crown prince was behind the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi. and in sport it is a must win for scotland who must win in paris tonight. they need to beat argentina to reach the knockout stage in their first women's world cup. england are already through, just a draw japan with see them finish top of their group. south africa are finally showing some intent against new zealand in their latest world cup group match. south africa were up against it, but as things stand, they are chasing

that early total. that is all this but for now, i will have more a little later in the hour. a united nations investigator says there's credible evidence the crown prince of saudi arabia was behind the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi. the journalist, a critic of the prince, was last seen at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october where it's believed he was murdered and his body dismembered. our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. jamal khashoggi was a columnist for the washington post and a prominent critic of the saudi leadership. on october the 2nd last year, he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul to get some papers he needed to get married. he was never seen again. the un special rapporteur concluded he was the victim of a deliberate, premeditated execution by the saudi state.

the 100—page report, based on interviews, recordings and cctv footage, sets out in grim detail how officials at the saudi consulate planned and carried out the murder. from the initial struggle, to the sound of the body being dismembered. the report names many of the saudi individuals who flew into istanbul and are suspected of involvement. but crucially, it also says mohammed bin salman, the crown prince and de facto ruler of saudi arabia, should also be investigated, saying every expert they consulted agreed it was inconceivable he was not aware of the operation. the special rapporteur has determined that there is credible evidence, warranting further investigation of high—level saudi officials' individual liability, including the crown prince's. the independent investigator also said the crown prince should be subject to targeted sanctions by un member states until evidence

is produced proving he has no responsibility. saudi investigators have long denied the crown prince was involved and 11 suspects are facing a secret trial inside the country. but the report said the saudi investigation into the death of mr khashoggi had failed to meet international standards and the trial should be suspended. a woman in her eighties is in a serious condition after an accident involving a police motorbike which was part of a convoy escorting the duke and duchess of cambridge. prince william and kate were travelling from london to windsor when the woman was injured on monday. our role correspondent has been where the accident happened. the junction you can see behind me is where the accident happened just after 1pm on monday afternoon. they were travelling in that direction to go to were travelling in that direction to gotoa were travelling in that direction to go to a ceremony in windsor and the

incident happened on this road. we understand that there was traffic on that side of the road, to a motorcycle riders had come ahead of the convoy, and they were in the process of clearing a path for the convoy when this collision happened., between a motorbike and a pedestrian who has been named as irene meyer. she is 83 years old. the airambulance irene meyer. she is 83 years old. the air ambulance was called at 1252 and two doctors and paramedics treated her before she was taken off to hospital she has been described as being any serious but stable condition and our understanding is that a duke and duchess did not see the incident, they were embalmed later and have sent flowers to the family and are in direct contact with them. —— they were informed later. police are now conducting an investigation into what happened. sarah campbell there in west london. public confidence in life saving vaccines is worryingly low in some parts of the world,

according to a new report. the wellcome trust has carried out the biggest ever global this study into people's attitudes on immunisation. it found that about a fifth of people in europe either felt vaccines weren't safe, or were unsure about their safety. our health reporter michelle roberts has more. vaccines are one of our best defences against deadly and debilitating diseases. but some preventable illnesses, like measles, are making a resurgence and experts at the world health organization say people avoiding immunisations is a major concern. now the world's biggest survey into public attitudes reveals where vaccination confidence is low. the wellcome trust ask the opinion of over 140,000 people in 41 countries. worldwide, around 80% of people believe vaccines are safe, a similar proportion believe they were effective. people in lower income areas feel vaccines are safe,

confidence in higher income regions is more dated, around one fifth of people in europe i do disagree are unsure of whether vaccines are safe. the lowest confidence globally is in france where one third disagree vaccines are safe. in ukraine, which reported the highest number of measles cases in europe last year, only half of people agreed that vaccines are effective. so, what is making people sceptical? in the survey, people with more trust in scientist, doctors and nurses were more likely to trust vaccines. but the researchers say there will be many factors at play. vaccination is a personal choice, but it does do more than protect the individual, it can protect communities, —— defend communities, including babies and young children. michelle roberts, bbc news. a fatwa or religious ruling telling muslims they are free to donate their organs after death has been issued by a prominent islamic scholar. the ruling is being backed

by the nhs in the hope there will be an increase in muslim donors. the bbc asian network's rahila bano reports. this woman uses this dialysis —— this man is is dialysis machine to clea n this man is is dialysis machine to clean his blood up to four times a day. if i could have clean his blood up to four times a day. ifi could have a clean his blood up to four times a day. if i could have a transplant i would be able to eat freely... he has a ready had to, but —— he has already had to, but they failed. the questionnaire carried out amongst muslims for nhs blood and transplant this year showed that 41% would not date an organ, compared to 14% who would and almost half thought it was against theirfaith or would and almost half thought it was against their faith or culture. that is why the health service is supporting a new fatwa, or religious

—— other weather phenomena are available? there are and they are coming! the mechanism that forms these are not completely understood, but you're getting the static and it was to build up between the particles and then you get these scenes. unleashed on us. and the sound of that rapidly expanding air, the thunder as well. they still make mea the thunder as well. they still make me a little quirky, shall we say, i am nota me a little quirky, shall we say, i am not a sage fan of the thunder sense. it shows you how many have been as there are so many still pictures are billable. crazy amounts. they do look beautiful as well. we have heard about what has happened in france as well, the huge hailstorms down there. the energy is all coming up from the inner continent and all this warmth and humidity that sat across the south and east of the country. it is quite limited really. that risk is there today, because of the heat and humidity, you get these massive storms building. the worm at the air the air that make the warmer the

air, the higher the storms can claim an atmosphere. we had a very narrow line last night of the storms, but some places had about 40 nanometres. that is an inch and a half a rain. it is needed rain, but we have had too much this gen. —— some places had 40 millimetres. we do potentially have more strength to come this evening. a eastern parts of england, we could see in nature's fireworks being unleashed in some parts and leading to flash flooding. it is quite humid where we had that air across eastern parts of england, but it is fresher. in the west are still showers, but they are not to the same degree are not as intense as their father so that is because we do not have quite an amount of energy unleashed. they will continue throughout the night. it will feel a bit more comfortable as the humidity decreases and we will have a couple of comfortable nights before the heat returns. not necessarily this time with the storms. thursday looks

like a day of sunny spells and charms, fresh start, brighter start and plenty of sunshine, but none of us will be exempt from those showers. they are coming in on a brisk atlantic breeze and a temperatures will not be quite as high today, because —— but it will be obama because of the strong sunshine on friday. friday is the summer sunshine on friday. friday is the summer solstice and the longest day. high pressure returns and on saturday, a spell of dry, more usable weather. there is always the exception to the bill here in the british isles and that is for the north of scotland where they showers will come in with that area of low pressure meandering closely. for most of us like events, fear sunshine and it will be obama in the strong gains and join —— it will feel warmer and the strong sunshine. pressure starts to approach again from the atlantic and throwing a

risk of showers into the western side of the uk. temperatures are starting to recover and i sat next low pressure comes on, it sets up this situation, high pressure to the north and low pressure to the south —— the pressure to the west. head of that low pressure system and development, we could see temperatures into the mid—20s for the first time in quite a while. this is bbc news. our latest headlines:

chance of qualifying as one of the third best placed teams for the last 16, but even then they need other results to go their way. yeah, it would be huge. it is amazing being here but it would be even more amazing to prove a point and to be able to achieve something while being here. that would be for us getting out of it group. it is great that people can see as being here but for people to see us be successful here would mean even more. it is going to be a big night in paris where that is being staged later. england already through to the knockout stage but plenty riding on their game knockout stage but plenty riding on theirgame in knockout stage but plenty riding on their game in nice. yes, they have already qualified. they take on japan yes, they have already qualified. they take onjapan at yes, they have already qualified. they take on japan at the yes, they have already qualified. they take onjapan at the same time as the scotland match. they wins against scotland and argentina means

it is much more straightforward for them. they only need to draw to top them. they only need to draw to top the group and that should ensure an easier tie in the last 16 but both sides of the draw have some difficult fixtures. we came into this world cup having beaten the likes of the usa, france, germany now. we compete against them in every single game that we play against the top teams, we are no pushover, and that shows now. we have got as good a chance as anyone to win any game. and there is coverage of both scotla nd and there is coverage of both scotland and england's games across the bbc. staying with football, luis enrique has left his position as head coach of the spanish national team. the former barcelona manager is stepping

and so the opportunity to do something with oxford, which has the number one humanities department in the world, and the number one philosophy department. and we are now into an era where we have great technology, but we've got to catch up with it with core western society values. iamjoined by i am joined by the chair of the uk government's ai council. we are so thrilled to be investment like this because it shows investing in a humanities institute and putting these ethics at the court shows the good work that has been happening. £150 million is a lot in anybody‘s

language. why do you think he has picked this country?” language. why do you think he has picked this country? i think because of the ground work put in over the last few years and where the uk has put responsibility of ai, both research and deployment, at the centre of everything it is doing. the oxford internet institute but also we have a centre for data ethics and innovation that the government had set up, i could go on. it is quite amazing. so having a new humanity centre based in oxford will really put us at the centre globally of what is going to be an increasingly important issue?” think we are already driving a lot of the conversations and this is an additional demonstration that we are ina additional demonstration that we are in a position where we are able to have conversations that may be other countries are not able to have. why are we so good at this?” countries are not able to have. why are we so good at this? i think the way that we have approached ai and have looked at each other as a

community and said, we don't want to build ai without it having ethics at the core. we have seen what happens with the internet, the first wave, and we are all looking at al as something where we can take a breather, how are we going to do this right. talking about it is one thing but there will be things like legislation, other issues that will come to at some stage once we are dealing with things that can think for themselves, basically. the real risk we have with artificial intelligence is that it will impound and replicate some of the existing injustices, so being able to... because it is humans who put it into place? exactly, and it is using existing data. it is time against us? how much time have we got before the technology overtakes our ethical discussion? i genuinely believe in human ingenuity. i believe time is

not on our side but we will always be able to find a way to make sure this is good for humanity and human flourishing rather than overtaking us. stephen schwarzman chose oxford, there are plenty of places in the united states. we all know about silicon valley and advancements in that part of the us. what do you think was at the heart of his decision? i would love to know but i genuinely believe it comes down to some of the wonderful researchers we have here. i have to believe that he met with those researchers and the others that the vice chancellor spoke about this morning and was excited to work with them. tell those of us who have not sat in one of these rooms in oxford and had very meaningful discussions about artificial intelligence and the ethics. what are the subjects that

you get into? what is x when someone says, what are the ethics of ai? you get into? what is x when someone says, what are the ethics of al?l lot of it comes down to predicting how something is going to behave. we have conversations around bias, accountability, decision making. there is a whole end to discussion. if you look at any product in the world, you can think, how is that going to affect the bottom 1%. that has to happen and now is happening. will we get to a point where the ai itself can make a decision as to what is right or wrong and take the human impact out of it and correct any mistakes we put in the original data? some people in the community think we can take humans out of the process completely. i genuinely believe in human in the loop model. what does that mean? always in the loop? yes, you worked it out very

quickly. it means all decisions are still accountable to a human and therefore cooperation and the way you are building this ai, they will a lwa ys you are building this ai, they will always be somebody that is accountable. but this is a good day. this is a good day, yes. thank you. let's get more now on the news that four men have been charged with the murders of almost 300 people when a passenger plane was brought down in eastern ukraine almost five years ago. dutch prosecutors have issued arrest wa rra nts ago. dutch prosecutors have issued arrest warrants for three russians and ukrainian. they say they brought and ukrainian. they say they brought a missile launcher that fired the jet. here is the chief public prosecutor of the netherlands with more on the suspects. translation: the public prosecution service suspects the four suspects of the fact they plan and their acts onjuly 2014 led of the fact they plan and their acts on july 2014 led to the of the fact they plan and their acts onjuly 2014 led to the shooting of flight onjuly 2014 led to the shooting of flight mh17. even though they have

not pushed the button themselves, there is a suspicion that they have closely cooperated in order to obtain their weapon and put it in position on the launch site with the goal to shoot the plane. therefore, they can be considered to be suspects together of shooting flight mh17. in dutch criminal law, persons who are not present themselves during the implementation of a crime but do play an important organising role are just as punishable as the persons who have actually committed the crime. that was the news conference a couple of hours ago. our colleague has been in the netherlands and he spoke to a woman whose son died in the crash. what is your feeling about the russian behaviour in this whole investigation? disgusting. they are

only a lion, they don't cooperate, they provide fake news. —— only lying. when you see the fake news about this, the lies, what do you say? i get angry. yes. just say the truth or say nothing. just shut up. who do you think is ultimately responsible for what happened that day? vladimir putin. he knows everything. this could not have happened without his permission. and can you give us a sense of your emotions today, hearing this news that four people will be charged?” think the murder of my children and all the other victims, somebody must pay for that. yes. i can't commit a murder and run away and live my

life. it is impossible. and you think they will be more prosecutions? yes, i think so. higher in rank and may be the military. people who pushed the button. so you think ultimately they will be justice for this? yes, i think so. why are you so sure? that is kind of a promise from thejit. they are working on it. the investigation is still going on and if they get more information almost every day. now, jamie is here with the business news in a moment but first our headlines. more on that, for men have been identified and charged with shooting down flight mh17 over ukraine. conservative mps are voting again

this afternoon in the latest round of the tory leadership contest. aun of the tory leadership contest. a un investigator says there is evidence that the saudi crown prince was behind the murder ofjamal khashoggi. poverty amongst people who are working has risen sharply since the mid—90s, partly due to higher housing costs and lower earning costs. and flats are for renting, not for buying, according to the land registry office. people buying property for the first time are bypassing flats and moving into

houses. it means a cost of a typical flat or maisonette in england has fallen. other types of property have become more expensive. now, a safe bet. gambling companies make a generous offer to tackle problem gambling. they are very much on the back foot. they are very much on the back foot. they have offered to regulate themselves. what they are very frightened about is having regulation. on them and they say they are going to be introducing a levy which they are going to change from 0.1% up to 1%, that is a10 times increase in the levy, which will go towards helping problem gambling, but you have to put this into context. they are extremely worried about regulation. you remember the fixed odds betting terminals, the maximum amount you could put in as prize money from £100 down to £2, sorry, the maximum amount you could bet, which are

seriously restricted the income they had there. they are very worried about more regulation like this. we can go over to adam bradford, the founder of the safer online gambling group. adam, are they going to win this particular battle, trying to get, trying to self regulate rather than regulate? i don't know and i'm not too sure whether we are talking about paying to self regulate themselves. i think this is an increase on the amount of money they spend on research, education and treatment. at the moment there isn't a central fund that is paying for the kind of support addicts and theirfamilies like the kind of support addicts and their families like mine the kind of support addicts and theirfamilies like mine needed when a problem comes up. an increase in funding isa a problem comes up. an increase in funding is a good thing and nonprofits like ours have benefited. but i think this can't take away from the fact that there has been bad practice in the past and there area bad practice in the past and there are a lot of things internally that these companies need to do to improve the safety of their

products. but this increase would be an increase of two £100 million. would that make a difference? of course it would make a difference to addicts and they would be able to provide support to people who need help, but what i was trying to say is that this won't take away from the fact that the industry has done bad things in the past and the way they operate at the moment is damaging people's lives. we have got to start reading this as a public health problem. it is good that they are willing to invest more but that should not stop us from regulating and looking after this problem properly. so what do you think would make a difference? proper regulation from the government? what should they be doing? their view i would ta ke they be doing? their view i would take is that we need to treat gambling addiction as a public health problem and we need to have treatment available on the nhs for people who need help. there does need to be more regulation around things like advertising. it is very easy for young people to be sucked

into gambling by sports games and fast in play betting, which i think is normalising gambling too much. i know the industry is aware of that but they need to do things about that. that might be an area where self—regulation backed up by a responsible gambling practice could help. the money alone i don't think it's going to solve this problem. you can't throw cash at itjust to fix this issue with gambling addiction because the number of gambling addicts is not going down, so we have got to look at this pragmatically. thank you. what is a burger and what is a sausage? there is no answer particularly at the moment but the eu would like to say that a burger and a sausage have to have meat in them and if it doesn't have meat, a vegetarian or vegan sausage doesn't have meat, a vegetarian or vegan sausage or doesn't have meat, a vegetarian or vegan sausage or burger, it is not a burger or a sausage. but this is really a question of a battle between two industries. it is

vegetarian industry, or the industry which creates a vegetarian and vegan food, and as a meat industry. the meat industry is seeing serious inroads into its market. they was research done by waitrose, may be the survey was not particularly inclusive, but it seemed to show that something like one in eight people now consider themselves to be vegan and 21% consider themselves to be mostly eating plants, basically, as opposed to... we can talk to lynn elliott, chief executive of the vegetarian society. this is a battle between two industries, isn't it? the meat industry does not want you to be using its vocabulary.” the meat industry does not want you to be using its vocabulary. i am not so sure it is a battle that is yet to be fought, it might be a battle that has already been one in one way. we asked our supporters what

they sought at the eu proposal. i think they did have a thread in their response suggesting it was the meat industry panicking, as you have just said. overwhelmingly, they were against the eu proposals, and i think... sorry, but they would be, you are asking for vegetarians what they think about meat. some of the people who answered the survey were meat eaters. but i think overwhelmingly what they were saying is there is not a problem and there was some confusion about what is the problem the eu proposal is trying to solve because consumers are not confused about what they are buying and we have never had a complaint from anybody. but it comes down to marketing because what you are trying to do as a vegetarian, people in the middle, you are trying to bring them over into the vegetarian market, aren't you? and to do that you are basically saying, come on, it's me, really, well, sort of, but

it's me, really, well, sort of, but it's not. no, that is not what we are saying, and i don't think that's what would win over many vegetarians. no, you are not saying that blatantly, but it is a marketing ploy. i'm not so sure it isa marketing ploy. i'm not so sure it is a marketing ploy. those responding felt very strongly that there words, burger and sausage are about chicks, not about ingredients and what is in something. it is helpful if you are buying a vegetarian burger to give you a clue about the texture profile and the flavour profile of the product you are buying, but sausages that is not are buying, but sausages that is not a way that is exclusively for food. if you are in a pottery class, you will make a clay sausage, you can make a sausage out of plasticine. these are not descriptions of ingredients, they are descriptions of shapes. one last point, they did force people selling soya milk to call it soya drink. do you think thatis call it soya drink. do you think

that is the way it is going to go? not if it is down to the consumer because of the response to this survey is so strongly against it that it would be strange not to take it on board. thank you very much. that is called a pregnant pause, isn't it? you can call it what you like. the s&p 500 knocked down by that much. we are waiting to hear what the policy is going to be and people are interested to see whether there is going to be a cut in interest rates. at the beginning of the year, they thought interest rates were going to go thought interest rates were going to 9° up thought interest rates were going to go up because of the economy was growing so fast, but now they think the opposite. everything is rather on hold. the pound is a little bit stronger against the dollar. have you got a head for heights? no. you are not alone. i hate this.

you can't say you hated. i know what you are going to show me. that is like going on television and saying, don't wash this, this is awful. there she is, a10 —year—old girl who has become the youngest person in history to climb the iconic el capitan rock formation in the yosemite national park in the united states. she completed the climb with her father and states. she completed the climb with herfather and a states. she completed the climb with her father and a family friend. have a look at this. i can't believe ijust did that.

why? would you ? now, let's have a look at the weather. we saw some very active thunderstorms across parts of south—east england last night and some of the more active once going through the eastbourne area with lots of lightning on display. it really was quite a spectacular night. the weather comes in three flavours this evening. further thunderstorms, a drier slice of weather and showers in scotland and northern ireland. they will be

reasonably widespread. for the most part, north—west england, wales, should stage right through the afternoon the evening time. south—east england, east anglia, at risk of seeing more thundery downpours coming up from france and they could bring quite a bit of rain ina they could bring quite a bit of rain in a short space of time. some surface water flooding is a possibility. between 17 degrees in newcastle and 21 towards south—east england. feeling quite humid. overnight, showers will tend to become confined to north—western areas as they show at risk receives across eastern england. we will see fresher air moving in. across eastern england. we will see fresherair moving in. on across eastern england. we will see fresher air moving in. on thursday, we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers. some of the showers could be quite heavy but there will be semi—decent gaps between the downpours so some sunshine to look forward to. temperatures reaching 19

degrees. for this very soggy tune, this has been a visitor we have not seen this has been a visitor we have not seen before. it is an area of high pressure. friday and saturday at last. that means the weather will become much more settled and dry for the vast majority of us, but not everyone. on friday there will still bea everyone. on friday there will still be a few showers. but away from that north west caller, it is a largely dry picture —— corner. temperatures ranging from 16 to 21 celsius and we keep the fine weather in most areas into the weekend. temperatures climbing towards their mid—20s and the best of the sunshine. it will start to feel a bit more humid across southern parts of wales and england and late on sunday we are looking at more rain, which could be heavy and thundery.

hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 4pm... wanted for mass murder — four men are identified, charged with shooting down malaysian airliner mh17 over ukraine, killing almost 300 people. translation: the jit suspects girkin, dubinskiy, pulatov and kharchenko of having played a significant role in the death of 298 innocent civilians. conservative mps are voting in the latest round of the tory leadership contest. a un investigator says there's evidence the saudi crown prince was behind the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. smart money — £150 million is given to oxford university for a new institute that will study the ethics

of artificial intelligence. coming up on afternoon live all the sport withjohn watson. scotland face a must wind game in paris later if they are to keep their world cup dream alive. we will have more on that later on. helen willetts has all the weather. there is still a possibility that we will see more storms by the end of today, but as we had towards the weekend there are signs that the weather is settling there and i will tell you all about that just weather is settling there and i will tell you all about thatjust before her past. thanks helen. also coming up — we're heading to wainfleet in news nationwide, to find out the scale of the clean—up after this week's floods. hello, everyone, this is afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. dutch investigators have accused four men of murder for their role

in the shooting down of a malaysian airlines passenger plane over eastern ukraine five years ago. three of them are russian, all are now subjects of international arrest warrants. the trial will begin in the netherlands next year — with or without them. in the past half hour, rational‘s foreign ministry has said that it regrets the findings and calls at the charges against the russian suspects as groundless. flight mh17 was on its way from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was hit with a missle, killing all 298 people on board. richard galpin reports. five years ago, the wreckage of the malaysia airlines plane lay strewn across these fields of eastern ukraine. also amongst them, the bodies of 298 people, of whom 80 were children. locals here described seeing bodies falling from the sky. the passenger plane, parts of which were later meticulously reconstructed, had been hit by a sophisticated anti—aircraft missile,

which peppered the front of the aircraft with shrapnel. this missile launcher, believed to have been used in the attack, was spotted at the time in territory controlled by pro—russian separatists. their conflict with ukrainian government forces was at its peak. today, finally, the international team which has been investigating what happened has announced it is bringing murder charges against four key people it accuses of being responsible for the deaths of so many civilians. the first is igor girkin, who is russian and a former senior intelligence officer. he is described as being the commander on the ground in eastern ukraine on the day the malaysia airlines plane was brought down. sergey dubinskiy, who is also russian, was one of girkin's deputies and, like girkin, was in regular contact with moscow. another russian, oleg pulatov,

a former russian special forces soldier, was dubinskiy‘s number two. the final suspect is the ukrainian leonid kharchenko. translation: together, they formed a chain, linking the self—proclaimed donetsk people republic with the russian federation. it was through this chain the suspects were able to get heavy military equipment from russia to the battlefield in eastern ukraine and in this way, the buk mission of the 53rd brigade could be transported to the field in pervomaiskiy and its missile could be fired, with terrible consequences. but in all likelihood, the killing of so many people will not lead to the suspects being sent to the trial in the netherlands, which is due to start in march next year, because russia does not allow suspects to be extradited. and that means for all those killed and for their families, justice is unlikely to be done. richard galpin, bbc news.

we will have more on that later. conservatives mps are voting in the latest round of the party's leadership contest. it will see one more of the five remaining candidates elimated. the result is expected shortly after 6pm this evening. last night the contenders took part in a fractious bbc debate. this morning the frontrunner, borisjohnson, receieved a boost when he secured the backing of the former brexit secretary dominic raab. nick eardley reports. sometimes in politics, there is little room for rest. i was really pleased to get through yesterday and i'm looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead and making my case. tory mps will vote again this afternoon, getting rid of another candidate in the race to be our pm. sajid javid could be for the chop, so could rory stewart, who is convinced keeping the current brexit deal, somehow persuading parliament to back it, is the only show in town. all these other people somehow believe that by shouting and saying i'm going to take britain out, that they have some

magic way to do it. it is like some man stuck on a zip wire. you can wave the unionjacks all you want, but you are not going anywhere. no prizes for guessing who that was a pop at. but this morning, borisjohnson won more support, this time from the brexiteer candidate eliminated yesterday. i am throwing my weight behind borisjohnson. i think he's the one who is the most credible to get us out of the eu by the end of october. many of dominic raab's supporters will follow suit. but none of the candidates can say exactly how they will deliver their brexit vision. rory stewart cannot say how exactly how he would persuade parliament to back a deal it has already rejected three times. the others can't say how they would persuade europe to reopen negotiations, something brussels has repeatedly said theyjust won't do. that was one of the key unanswered questions from last night's bbc debate. lots of pledges to get out, not so much on how. october 31st is eminently feasible.

no, that is not a guarantee. but there was this pledge, to hold an investigation into allegations of islamophobia in the tory party. guys, shall we have an external investigation in the conservative party into islamophobia? so they all agree? excellent, they agree. some say that promise has taken too long. my colleagues who have not raised this issue, who have not stood by me, who have not asked for this inquiry and have consistently, quite rightly, rooted out racism within the labour party, well, they really don't have the moral authority to keep doing that, having not dealt with it in their own party. action, though, is now being promised. we need to be absolutely resolute in tackling racism and prejudice of all kinds and, absolutely, there are people in the conservative party who we need to make sure appreciate the consequences of their actions. there are people who need to be rooted out of the party. we have been very vociferous in calling out jeremy corbyn and anti—semitism and if we are going to do that, and i think

we are right to do that, then we have to be whiter than white ourselves. but all the while opposition parties get ready for a new pm, testing attack lines for boris johnson. the member has cold a muslim woman letter boxes, described african people as having watermelon smiles and another discussing slur that i would never dignify by repeating, if thatis would never dignify by repeating, if that is not racist, mist or speaker, then i do not know what is. mist or johnson has apologised for any offence that he has caused in the past, but a bassist is not a ten —— but racist is not a term used lightly here. for now, there are five people left in the race to be pm. by tomorrow evening, it will be two and they will have to persuade conservative members they can tackle the tories' problems and deliver our eu departure. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. as we heard in nick eardley‘s report, former conservative party chairwoman baroness warsi has been calling for an independent inquiry into allegations of institutional

islamophobia within the party. this afternoon, she said it was important whoever becomes prime minister stands by their commitment to examine the issue. what i want to see is that however and wins the leadership election, —— whoever wins the leadership election, whoever now becomes the prime minister whoever now becomes prime minister, to announce this independent enquiry prime minister, to announce this independent enquiry at the earliest opportunity to ensure that it is done in a transparent way and to ensure the person who conducts this enquiry is somebody who has the trust of the communities that have been affected. finally, how disappointed are you that it has taken this long? well, it has been a long, lonely and bruising battle. i mean, this has been going on forfour years now, but i take the small gains that are now on offer and i'm glad that some progress has been made. and even if my parliamentary colleagues have come to this issue late, i am relieved that they have finally come to the issue. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in the central lobby of the houses of parliament.

this process continues and moves on in the next hour or so, so how much more of this have we got to look forward to? you are going to see in your then, we do not? that is how i feel mps feel about this. a 6pm tonight, tonight, another one tomorrow morning and a third one tomorrow morning and a third one tomorrow afternoon if it is needed. the person bottom place dropped out. everyone still feels that borrowing judged on its way out in front —— borisjohnson is way out in front and it is who is going to challenge him and get into the final two so that conservative party members can decide between them. what you think about the debate last night, did we get any clarity in brexit? i do not think we did. it seems that your candid michael gove says we should get a deal, but there is no clear sense of how? i disagree. he has set out a sense of how? i disagree. he has set outa numberof sense of how? i disagree. he has set out a number of ideas, that we should have an end, a. to the backstop and an exit clause from

that. and something such as a storm and mark, in order to reassure northern ireland and the dup —— a store lock so that we reassure northern ireland and had the dup on site. i'd had a free—trade agreement with canada so that we can... boris johnson, having got dominic raab at this game is already starting to back away so much from his commitment to lead, come what may, —— leave come at me at the end of october. the idea of getting in and point to the backstop, that is not on the table as far as the eu's concerned. i disagree very strongly with him on this. on having a sense assembly and having michel barnier to come over to the stop you would be surprised if he had a new prime minister, with authority and a fresh mandate on how to suck the sectoral

agreement out, to be sure parliament and —— how to sort this agreement out... we are talking about her come second in this part. why should it be michael gove and notjeremy hunt? with that to be more of a choice for conservative party member is? not at all. i think it is a danger that you effectively end up re—fighting the referendum result. for me we had tried every major in theresa may and who said she would respect the result. but now we have someone who generally leaves in it and campaigned —— genuinely believes in it and campaigned to leave. but borisjohnson, her second get to it and campaigned to leave. but boris johnson, her second get to the final, he is more of a figurehead type of prime minister and, by the omission of his own team, they would wa nt omission of his own team, they would want to bring people into do some of the detailed you would have an

alternative michael gove, someone who does details himself, who works very ha rd who does details himself, who works very hard and gets his head around complex issues and it would give the membersa complex issues and it would give the members a choice of two types of individuals, both of whom are committed to trying to deliver brexit. briefly, is there some kind of deal being done with rory stewart? i going to stand aside and back him? no, there is no deal being done at all. michael gove talks to all of the other candidates and says it, if they are knocked out in this contest, we would hope that they would support us. this idea of a packed and the deal, is a rather idiosyncratic idea. —— of a packed and the deal. it is not something that anybody else is discussing or taking their setup. thank you very much indeed. all sorts of rumours about this, but we will not know until 6pm. what is that bill? oh, it has just stopped. that is until 6pm. what is that bill? oh, it hasjust stopped. that is a boat. --

thatis hasjust stopped. that is a boat. -- that is a vote. (and a reminder, you can follow our coverage of the conservative leadership contest today. voting in the third ballot is under way and will continue until 5 this afternoon. we'll bring you coverage of the result announcement from 6 o'clock, live on the bbc news channel. an imam who was part of last night's bbc conservative leadership debate has been suspended from his mosque and the school where he works because of comments he made on social media. abdullah patel asked a question about islamophobia in last night's debate. it has since emerged that he had previously made critical comments about israel and women on twitter. the bbc has defended its vetting process and said mr patel would not have been selected if his tweets were accessible during background checks. the broadcaster has also been criticised for allowing ex—labour party member of staff, aman thakar, to ask a question to the leadership candidates. back to our top story — dutch investigators have named four people alleged to have been responsible for the shooting down

of a malaysian airlines passenger plane over eastern ukraine five years ago. our correspondent sarah rainsford is in moscow. three of the men are rushing and one is from ukraine, what are the russians are saying about that? well, the russian approach is to ignore the specifics and ignore the names of the people have been put forward as the key suspects over and you focus on the investigation as a whole and to discrediting that. this morning when i spoke to the spokesperson for the kremlin, this was ahead of the announcement, i asked him if russia would ever be prepared to hand over any suspects to the trial in the netherlands, or would it help but the investigation here? he simply said that russia's position is very clear and has not changed. the position is that, because the ukrainians are involved in the enquiry and because russia is not, russia believes that it is a

biased process. and it will not accept any of the findings. it has made that position clear from the start, therefore any details that come out, russia can simply shrug off as irrelevant. that is precisely what is happening, especially in state media at the moment. people sort of dismissing the conclusions and talking about a biased process. do they mention, in the reporting, that there are 50 detectives, 25 prosecutors under three years of research gone into this? no, that detail seems to be ignored. it is very much focused on this broad political response, rather than the details and the fact that so much evidence has been presented and was presented again today, so instead of focusing on the corroborating evidence that has been presented to all of this forensic investigation and thread the witness accounts, photographs on social media that had been looked into and investigated, the russian coverage simply looks at the russian coverage simply looks at the fact that ukrainian intelligence service information is being provided and says it is biased. when

the ukrainian intelligence service provides wiretaps, well, russia sells well, they would say that can provide that, would they not? it is a very selective approach to the evidence that has been presented. but i guess that is what you would expect. what is interesting from a ship is my perspective is that the names of the people have been put forward so far are all former and not currently serving officers in the russian military or intelligence. we had perhaps thought before the that sum is an instant that some serving officers might be named, that has not happened. so a nyway named, that has not happened. so anyway it allows russia to maintain this kind of deniability game, which it has kept up right since the very beginning of the conflict in eastern ukraine. i do not know what the russian for deja vu is, but we have been here before when things... salisbury, there are several things where we have seen the russians are just the night and move on. yes, and when you think back to alexander

opinion coe, the former fsb agent —— alexander let litvinyenko, russia did not comply with that investigation at all. it does not extradite its essence per criminal investigation at all. the criminal investigation at all. the criminal investigation team in the netherlands made clear it was not even going to ask for that. one comment in particular from even going to ask for that. one comment in particularfrom the dutch prosecutor, who was making a statement today, he said that since the start in 2014, russia had not disclosed any information to the enquiry at all and decode that a slap in the face of the families of the victims of mh17 and he called on russia to cooperate with this legal process and said that the motivation for this process was to give justice to those 298 victims and their families. thank you very much sarah.

we're just getting some details of a shadow cabinet meeting. the labour cabinet... wherejust shadow cabinet meeting. the labour cabinet... where just getting information that the british labour leaderjeremy corbyn said that it is that any brexit deal is put to public vote. this follows news that more than 25 labour mps had written to the labour leader to urge him not to the labour leader to urge him not to go fill a remain. as the party reviews it stance on another brexit referendum —— to go full remain. they believe that it would be toxic and imperative populist right —— a p pa re ntly and imperative populist right —— apparently populist right. according to reuters, jeremy corbyn says it is right that any brexit deal is put to another public vote. that has any

bare bones of that. sorry, i'm just having a look because there seems to be more. he says a public vote would need to offer real choice for both leave and remain boaters. we will be looking at what that actually means a bit later on. —— voters. that is coming from the shadow cabinet meeting. public confidence in life—saving vaccines is worryingly low in some parts of the world, according to a new report. the wellcome trust has carried out the biggest ever global study into people's attitudes on immunisation. it found that about a fifth of people in europe either felt vaccines weren't safe, or were unsure about their safety. vaccines are one of our best defences against deadly

and debilitating diseases. but some preventable illnesses like measles are making a resurgence, and experts at the world health organization say people avoiding immunisation is a major concern. now the world's biggest survey to public attitudes reveals where vaccination confidence is low. the wellcome trust asked the opinion of more than 140,000 people in over 150 countries. worldwide, eight in ten people agree that vaccines are safe. a similar proportion agree that they are effective. but while most people in lower income areas feel vaccines are safe, confidence in higher income regions is more varied. around one fifth of people in europe either disagree or are unsure of whether vaccines are safe. the lowest confidence globally is in france, where one third disagree that vaccines are safe. in ukraine, which reported the highest number of measles cases in europe last year, only half of people agree that vaccines are effective. so what's making people sceptical? in the survey, people with more trust in scientists, doctors, and nurses were more likely to trust vaccines. but the researchers say there will be many factors at play.

vaccination is a personal choice, but it does more than just protect an individual. it can defend whole communities and the most vulnerable, including babies and young children. michelle roberts, bbc news. let's speak to professor peter hotez, dean of the national school of tropical medicine, baylor college of medicine in houston texas — he's in washington this afternoon. thank you very much for your time. i wonder what you think is behind what appears to be a growing distrust, if you like, of immunisation and vaccination? yes, absolutely. there isa vaccination? yes, absolutely. there is a growing distrust, especially in the united states and in western and eastern europe. the reason is because of an anti—vaccine movement that began during the late 1990s, into the early 2000, and it started asa into the early 2000, and it started as a fringe group, unfortunately it has now going to its own media empire. by some estimates there are more than 500 anti—vaccine websites

that there, including being amplified on social media. this has created a problem. if you are a pa rent created a problem. if you are a parent trying to download health ca re parent trying to download health care information, you're more likely than not to get it misinformation. there is a political arm to this as well, we have now got a monster in our hands. we had to try to contain it. i want to take those issues individually, but let's start that make you talk about the 1990s. andrew wakefield, the discredited british gastroenterologist, wrote an article. do you think that is when it started? yes, when we have looked back at the literature, the biomedical literature, alleging that vaccines cause autism, which is essential tenet of the anti—vaccine lobby, it really took off after that paper was published in the lancet in 1998. and it has since grown

accordingly. we can actually benchmark it very precisely and now of course, it has been allowed to grow to an incredible extent. you have written a book about this, but he had done it through the prism of your daughter rachel, who has autism? that is right. i am a vaccine scientist and paediatrician, but i'm also the parent of an adult daughter with autism and a number of intellectual disabilities and i did it precisely because of the information we are talking about today that there is this going erosion of vaccine confidence. so many parents are opting your kids out of getting vaccinated and it has brought measles back. measles is more. . . brought measles back. measles is more... there are more than 80,000 measles cases in europe last year and this year it looks much worse. we had the same problem in the united states because of it is all because of fully misinformation empire —— a fully misinformation empire —— a fully misinformation empire that will be standing up against and empire that will be standing up againstandi empire that will be standing up against and i felt compelled to stand up and say something. who do you think is behind this conspiracy?

there is no other word for what you're describing. well, there is conspiracy and not only that, a number of the leaders of the anti—vaccine movement are monetising the internet. they are selling 40 autism therapies, —— they are selling phony autism therapies, they are filing phony lawsuits and fake books that are actively promoted on amazon that are making a lot of money to stop it is almost like an elaborate crime family, each of the leaders monetising things any different way. you talk about crime families, but you're also accusing those on the internet, amazon, facebook and others have been complicit? absolutely. amazon is now a major problem. my good news is that my book is one of the pro—vaccine books on amazon, but it isa pro—vaccine books on amazon, but it

is a right by 25 —— 24 anti—vaccine gets ahead of it. so amazon is having a major role in this problem, as is facebook and other social media sites. what should they do? what we have got to do is figure out how to dismantle the media empire. you have to take down the anti—vaccine content, we had taken the phony books, but that alone will not do it. we have to put any political process to ensure that vaccines are made compulsory in many states in the united states and in some european countries. those two together will make a big impact. a third piece as well is that we need to do third piece as well is that we need todoa third piece as well is that we need to do a betterjob as vaccine advocates. we need to get the word out there that vaccines are life—saving and that vaccines are safe and do not cause autism, or the other thing is that the anti—vaccine lobby alleges. you know better than most that autism itself is much better protected now than it was long ago? absolutely. we have

identified at least 99 genes involved in how early fatal brain development, the point is that autism is set into motion during early pregnancy, well before kids ever see vaccines. in fact,... my family have done whole eggs, some sequin sing —— x comes sequencing on rachel and identified some of those genes. because about and related issuesis genes. because about and related issues is clear and totally unrelated to vaccines. there not even any possibility that vaccines could have a role. let's bring this toa human could have a role. let's bring this to a human level. if the mother, father, is watching you right now and wondering about whether they should go ahead with immunisation, what do you say to them?” should go ahead with immunisation, what do you say to them? i would say you have an expert —— you have access to an expert, your paediatrician, who are training vaccines and if you have any concerns at all please have a conversation with your paediatrician

and anything you download on the internet is unfortunately suspect because there is a massive misinformation campaign out there. and ultimately, if you're a child, you have a fundamental right to be protected against serious or even deadly infections and now measles is backin deadly infections and now measles is back in europe, back in the united states and measles is a bad actor. at one time measles was the single killer of children globally and today one in 20 children develop measles, pneumonia, there is a risk of encapsulated, —— kept an eye document you want to get your children vaccinated. do professors get angry? that make you want to get your children vaccinated. i am trying not to get angry. but i want to do something about this. we do not hear as much as we should from

our government leaders are our public health leaders and standing up public health leaders and standing up to the anti—vaccine immediate empire isjust up to the anti—vaccine immediate empire is just a up to the anti—vaccine immediate empire isjust a handful of academics and we do our best, but it is not adequate to combat the media juggernaut that the anti—vaccine lobby has become. thank you for joining us this afternoon. thank you for having me and giving attention to this issue. thank you. a united nations investigator says there's credible evidence the crown prince of saudi arabia was behind the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi. the journalist, a critic of the prince, was last seen at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october where it's believed he was murdered and his body dismembered. our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. jamal khashoggi was a columnist for the washington post and a prominent critic of the saudi leadership. on october the 2nd last year, he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul to get some papers he needed to get married. he was never seen again. the un special rapporteur concluded he was the victim of a deliberate, premeditated execution

by the saudi state. the 100—page report, based on interviews, recordings and cctv footage, sets out in grim detail how officials at the saudi consulate planned and carried out the murder — from the initial struggle, to the sound of the body being dismembered. the report names many of the saudi individuals who flew into istanbul and are suspected of involvement. but crucially, it also says mohammed bin salman, the crown prince and de facto ruler of saudi arabia, should also be investigated, saying every expert they consulted agreed it was inconceivable he was not aware of the operation. the special rapporteur has determined that there is credible evidence, warranting further investigation

of high—level saudi officials' individual liability, including the crown prince's. the independent investigator also said the crown prince should be subject to targeted sanctions by un member states until evidence is produced proving he has no responsibility. saudi investigators have long denied the crown prince was involved and 11 suspects are facing a secret trial inside the country. but the report said the saudi investigation into the death of mr khashoggi had failed to meet international standards and the trial should be suspended. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. good afternoon. rather cloudy skies, once again, across the eastern half of england, whether it is low cloud and drizzle or the potential, still, for some thundery downpours once again to push up from france. behind this it is a little drier and there are more breaks in the cloud between the showers across scotland and northern ireland.

temperature—wise today, it has been just about on a par with that of yesterday. i think tomorrow it will feeljust a little bit fresher, but still pleasant if you're in the sunshine. overnight we clear that humid air and the thunderstorms away from eastern areas, so temperatures will fall backing into single figures for many parts. a little bit fresher, that is a notable change, the drop in the humidity through the night. tomorrow will dawn on a fresh note, with plenty of sunshine and then showers will rattle through on a fairly brisk wind. nowhere is exempt from the showers and the odd heavy one, the odd thundery one, but nowhere near the intensity that we have had in recent days. temperatures on a par with those of today and feeling pleasant in that strong, june sunshine. this is bbc news. our latest headlines. for men are identified and charged with shooting down flight mh17 and charged with shooting down flight mh17 over ukraine, killing

qualifying as one of the best third placed teams, but even then they still need other results to go their way. yeah, it would be huge. it is amazing being here but it would be even more amazing to prove a point and to be able to achieve something while being here. that would be for us getting out of the group. it's great that people can see us being here but for people to see us be successful here would mean even more. at times scotland have played well but they just need at times scotland have played well but theyjust need to put in a good performance and get that win if they can. england, they are in action as well in nice. yes, kick they off at the same time against japan. they wins yes, kick they off at the same time againstjapan. they wins against scotla nd againstjapan. they wins against scotland and argentina mean they only need a draw to top the group. that should mean an easier tie in

the last 16 for england. but both sides of the draw in the latter stages still have some difficult fixtures to come. we compete against them in every single game that we play against the top teams, we are no pushover, and that shows now. we have got as good a chance as anyone to win any game. and there is coverage of both scotla nd and there is coverage of both scotland and england's matches across the bbc. luis enrique has left his position as the head coach of the spanish national squad the spanish football federation revealed the former barcelona boss is stepping down after less than a year in charge with former assistant coach robert moreno replacing him. enrique had been absent since march

because of "a family matter of an urgent nature" according to the spanish football federation. at the world cup, south africa finally started to get things going in the cricket world cup against new zealand in a match they must win to stand any chance of qualifying for the semifinals. south africa have struggled so far in the tournament. the match has been reduced to 49 overs. new zealand are still unbeaten in their campaign. the latest score in pursuit of the total is sealant 33—1. —— new zealand. tennis, and british number one

johanna konta has lost in straight sets in the second round of the classic in birmingham. it is her second match since losing in the semifinals of the french open so she is looking to find some form on grass heading into wimbledon. she missed last week's nottingham event and will be looking to get more match time on the grass at eastbourne before wimbledon starts injuly. lopez, eastbourne before wimbledon starts in july. lopez, who eastbourne before wimbledon starts injuly. lopez, who will play doubles alongside andy murray this week has issued a statement denying he had any involvement in plans to fix a match at wimbledon two years ago. a spanish paper alleges he and his doubles partner at the time were implicated in a match—fixing investigation. following reports in media that mention my name and my partner, i think it is important to come to you and absolutely deny any link with events described in relation to the allegations of

match—fixing. unfortunately, all tennis players are public figures and are supposed to have... for that reason, i will do everything within my power to defend myself against any such false accusations. he was due to be playing alongside andy murray. that match has been pushed back because of the weather at queens and it is still raining there today after yesterday's wash—out. and that is all from the bbc sport centre. let's go nationwide and see what is happening around the country. paul murphy is looking at the scale of the clean—up after this week's sleds. and matthew hill is in

bristol, where islamic scholars are encouraging more muslims to join the organ donation list. we were talking to peter yesterday, he was saying the next 24 a ways are going to be crucial, so how has the clean—up operation gone? the rain that we were meant to get last night, they‘ re the rain that we were meant to get last night, they're really heavy rain, didn't materialise, so there was a sense of relief this morning. there is more rain forecast. this village gives you an idea of how extensive the flooding is because we area mile extensive the flooding is because we are a mile or so from wayne fleet here. there are 15 or so houses here, everything in skips. this house, they used sandbags to try and keep the water out but they told me earlier that the water literally forced its way up through the floorboards and into their home. even though it is only six or eight inches high, it has destroyed the entire ground floor. this is a

typical community in this area. the river is just across the field. that is where it came from into these homes. and people here are traumatised. a little earlier i spoke to someone who was returning to her home for the first time since being evacuated over the weekend. i have come back for the first time. my i have come back for the first time. my son has been looking after it for me but he has only been able to wade down there. they have been coming up with the tractors from the farm to go shopping, to take the boys on the bus to school. how do you ever recover from this? 45 years. i came here in 1974. 45 years and i never expected anything like this. this is a side of things we often don't see because we concentrate on where we see flooding, we tend not to go back, and to see the skips and people unable to go into their homes, it is quite something.

that is exactly right. they are going to be out of their homes for between four and six months. but the forecast, it is a difficult science, because this is the kind of rainfall that can fall on one community, but five miles away it can be dry. the forecast is for more heavy rain. ordinarily, that would be ok, but the system is running at capacity, the system is running at capacity, the ground is saturated. i was looking at a drain earlier, you can see the water still coming up through the floor. people are likely to be out of their homes until monday at the earliest. the authorities are talking about, you have seen the temporary images of the temporary barrier they have put in the river bank, they are talking about putting a more permanent structure in to protect these homes. lots of work going on behind—the—scenes, lots of civil engineering efforts, and at the same time these residents are trying to

get on with their lives. this is going to have a long—term impact all around the area. and the one thing we as viewers don't have any sense of is that smell. people will walk into their homes after something like this and it is horrendous. we have just been talking about this. this escape is full of sodden carpets just thrown out over the last couple of days. it is a really strong smell of floodwater because there is all sorts mixed in with that. it is not clean water. inside these houses, it is very much the same. that takes months to get rid of. there are already renovation firms doing the rounds to try to salvage what they can and repair these homes but it is a long process. insurance companies are talking to people, people trying to support each other, there is a food bank. a real sense of the community coming together to help each other out but a real challenging time for everybody concerned. thank you very much.

let's go to bristol. matthew, islamic scholars in the city are encouraging more muslims to join the organ donation list. why has this come about? to get the best chance of a successful transplant, it's important to get matching ethnicity, and that is where the problem arises. 17% of people in the uk on the waiting list are of asian origin but less than 2% on the donor registry are from that community, and a new survey by the nhs shows that 41% of muslims said they definitely would not donate their organs compared to 14% who said they definitely would. one man from bristol, who himself received a liver, has been campaigning, meeting with muslim scholars to try to get them to agree on a fatwa, that is a decree to say essentially it is ok

to donate organs. these signed off organ donation from those who are not heart beating donors, he has also signed off living or altruistic organ donation, he has also signed off blood donation and bone marrow donation. but they were already two fat was for this. the trouble is, they were issued by... it is important to work with scholars over a year and previously there was not a lot of publicity. a leading scholar has drawn up this fatwa which he is trying to consult with other scholars and generally it seems that they are agreeing, but there is one important caveat, and thatis, there is one important caveat, and that is, they don't want to take organs from someone that is, they don't want to take organs from someone who is brain dead but whose body is being kept,

hart kept beating on life support. that is reduce the chances are slightly of a successful transplant. my slightly of a successful transplant. my conclusion on patients who are brain stem dead but are still breathing on the ventilator as to have certain bodily functions is that at this point in time the person cannot be considered to be dead and so at this point in time the organs cannot be retrieved. but it is seen as a very important step forward. it is hoped the publicity around this will encourage a change of heart around the muslim community. thank you very much. plenty more on that tonight. thank you both very much. and if you would like to see more on

any of those stories, you can access them via the bbc iplayer. we go nationwide every weekday afternoon at 430 on afternoon lie. an american billionaire has given oxford university £150 million — the largest single donation ever made to a uk university. the money from stephen schwarzman will be used to create a new institute for ethics in artificial intelligence. the uk government said it was a "globally significant" investment in britain. earlier i spoke to the uk government's chair of the ai. we are thrilled to see investment like this because it shows that putting ai ethics at the core shows the good work that has been happening. £150 million is a lot in anybody‘s language. why do you think he has picked this country? because of the

groundwork that has happened over the last 60, 70 years, but especially over the last few years, where the uk has put responsibility of ai, both research and deployment, at the centre of everything it is doing. the oxford internet institute, but also the centre for data ethics and innovation, the alan turing institute, i could go on, it is quite amazing. so having a new humanity centre based in oxford would really put us at the centre globally of what is going to be an increasingly important issue.” think we are already driving a lot of the conversations and this is an additional demonstration, that we are ina additional demonstration, that we are in a position where we are able to have conversations that may be other countries are not able to have. why are we so good at this? i think the way that we have approached ai and looked at each other as a community and said, we don't want to build ai without it

having ethics at the core. we have seen having ethics at the core. we have seen what happens with the internet, the first wave, and we are all looking at al as something where we can takea looking at al as something where we can take a breather and say, how are we going to do this right? talking about it is one thing but they will be things like legislation, other issues that will come to the fore at some stage once issues that will come to the fore at some stage once we are issues that will come to the fore at some stage once we are dealing with things that can think for themselves, basically. the real risk we have with artificial intelligence is that it will impound and replicate some of the existing injustices, so actually being able dot because it is humans who put it into place? exactly, and because it is using existing data. now, cheney is here with the business news in a moment. first, our headlines on afternoon life. for men are identified and charged with shooting down the malaysian

airliner mh17 over the ukraine killing almost 300 people. conservative mps are voting in the latest round of the tory leadership contest. aun contest. a un investigator says there is evidence of the saudi crown prince was behind the murder of ten —— jamal khashoggi. your business headlines. british gas owner is planning to cut around 700 management and back—office jobs. owner is planning to cut around 700 management and back—officejobs. it is part of a programme of reductions. it has already been announced but it is in response to the growing challenges it faces. poverty amongst people who are working has risen sharply since the late 90s, partly driven by higher housing costs and lower earnings growth. and flats are for renting, not buying. according to the land registry, people buying property for the first time are bypassing flats

and moving straight into houses. the result is that the cost of a typical apartment or maisonette in england has fallen by over 2% in a year, but other types of property have become more expensive. idid more expensive. i did ask, those three stripes, they have just lost a trademark case in the court ofjustice. they are going to appeal it. it is quite an interesting story because adidas took another company to court which had to strikes, and they won, and then they turn around and they said they don't think the three stripes is distinctive enough to be a trademark and they seem to have won so far, so you have got this going backwards and forwards. brands are incredibly important. we know this is what makes these clothing companies, what defines them. we talked to a lawyer, a specialist in trademark law.

this is a long—standing dispute between sport brands. adidas has successfully challenged feed two strike trademark so they challenged adidas's three strike trademark, and especially —— essentially the big issue coming out today is around the confirmation by the general court that the evidence provided was not sufficient to establish use of the trademark, so effectively that trademark, so effectively that trademark was three black stripes, and most of the evidence submitted showed that in reverse, three white stripes. if you think about the clothing you might see on the streets, the darker colour against the three white striped background. it is going to run on and on. it is going to run on and on. it has already been going for five to ten years. it is going to run on and on, isn't it? sorry, i didn't get it.

let's talk about the national reserve. “— let's talk about the national reserve. —— federal reserve. we think there is going to be an indication that interest rates will go down. at the start of the year, people thought interest rates would go up, now the feeling is much more cautious, much more negative. we can talk now to someone who will give us an idea of what is to be expected. what do you think he is going to say? the market is expecting the federal reserve to cut rates by two or three times this year, so they don't expect they will cut rates tonight but they expect they will hinted strongly that that is an open possibility and they will probably say they will be watching the data, as they always do. if they say interest rates are coming down, it is very much what president trump has been wanting. he has been saying interest rates are too high, it has

been stopping the economy from blooming as much as he would like. music to his ears. i don't think thatis music to his ears. i don't think that is strictly true because it is still quite cheap to borrow and if you are a company thinking about making an investment decision and borrowing money, does your investment decision really hinge on 0.25% on lending costs? probably not. it is more about the long—term opportunities in the economy and the ease of doing business. back on this side of the atlantic with inflation spot on, 2%. good news?” side of the atlantic with inflation spot on, 2%. good news? i think it is good news at the moment because wage growth is higher. wage growth has been running at closer to 3% and with inflation only being 2%, it means the average person is doing a bit better. the risk though is that sterling has come down and then also there is a risk that the wage growth could start to feed into more inflation later in the year. for now it is fine but we will have to watch

for the rest of the year. a quick word on tesco, it is repositioning itself. they hinted today that they might try to open a separate group of shops that are higher end, perhaps something with their tesco finest brand. i think the interesting thing with tesco is they have been doing very well on increasing sales of their own brand products and they make much better margins in those areas. i think having a store around there was own brand of higher end products probably fits quite well with that theme going forward. thank you very much. shall we have a look at the markets? the european markets not really moving, waiting to see what the federal reserve says. the pound against the euro, creeping up there. at the end of last week, we were at

just below 1.12. thank you very much. just before we go to the weather, we have heard about the lightning strikes across the far south—east of england, but it was not the only place to see this guy is lighter. the west coast of france was also subject to some brilliant displays. this is the view from one seaside town near bordeaux. 100,000 strikes were recorded across the region over night. people will want to avoid travelling in exposed areas while the risk of lightning remained. stay indoors with the bottle of the local produce would be my advice. now a look at the weather. it has been a wetjune so far but we can promise some dry weather as we approach the weekend. a rather drizzly picture in scarborough earlier this afternoon. we had a

real lightning display across south—east england and eastern england through the night and this is the remnant of that cloud. there is the remnant of that cloud. there is still potential for sandstorms to break through here, moving up from france. we have got showers across scotla nd france. we have got showers across scotland and northern ireland but some sunshine in between. a drier slice of weather for parts of wales and northern england. there is potential for further thunderstorms today. still a yellow warning out for that. it feels humid despite temperatures only in the high teens for most of us. it is going to get warmer as we head into next week. in the meantime, the humidity will work through the night as we lose that risk of storms. temperatures will fall to a comfortable eight celsius with the lower humidity as well. a fresher, sunnier start of the day for many. but it is a showery day and there is a fairly stiff breeze to blow those showers. nowhere

exempt from the showers but some places may only see one or two and some good spells ofjune sunshine in between, lifting temperatures on a par with today but feeling fresher. we are heading towards the solstice on friday, the longest day, when high pressure is set to make an appearance for a change. through friday, saturday and questionably into sunday as well. friday looks like a drier day for england, wales, northern ireland, but close to that low pressure, they will still be showers across the north and west of scotland. some say whether cloud will build up elsewhere but it will start to feel warmer because the winds will be lighter and they will be more sunshine, they were showers. asimilar be more sunshine, they were showers. a similar story as we head into saturday. a fresh start on saturday morning. what those temperatures are just starting to rise a little bit. london ever to 24 on sunday and even though we have got low pressure approaching to the west, we pick up

the south—easterly wind, it will increase the humidity and bring up temperatures into the mid 20s next week. goodbye for now.
