get a fine why we are expecting to get a fine on saturday. some cloud in the eastern part of england with some showers are possible, greater chance of the showers in northern scotland and where it has been cloudy in northern ireland, sunny spells developing first up around 18 to 21 degrees. very high pollen levels in england and wales. overnight, so the chance of a shower in northern scotland, variable cloud, clear spells elsewhere. teasers of outbreaks of rain is going to the south—west of england later in the night. not quite as chilly as it was last night. back to the big picture, looking up at two of the weekend and the area of low pressure getting closer and throwing the weather front towards the south—west. high—pressure still in control elsewhere for now, but after a fine start, there will be increasing cloud across the uk, the breeze sta rts cloud across the uk, the breeze starts to pick up, may be some showers breaking out, they are to thundery one, but the main area of rain from the weather front edging a crust more of south—west england,

south—west wales and northern ireland. some of this will turn heavy and thundery in places. perhaps feeling warm up with a touch cooler on the north sea coast, but up cooler on the north sea coast, but up to 25 celsius in more humid areas of south—east england. the met office yellow warning for thunderstorms, wales, parts of england and scotland, but not island with rain also. big variety of rain totals possible, but in the heavy bursts, some could see lots of rain, fairly short space of time as well so fairly short space of time as well so the potential for some flooding and disruption into monday as it pushes northwards to give a wet monday for some in scotland, may be up monday for some in scotland, may be up to 100 millimetres especially at higher ground. so the potentialfor disruption foster stubby star the start the week turning hotter as well, 31 celsius as possible in the hot spots, lots more humid as well.

hello, this is bbc news. our headlines this hour:. it's emerged that police were called to the home of tory leadership candidate boris johnson, and his partner on thursday night after a neighbour said she heard a loud argument. it comes asjeremy hunt challenges mrjohnson to take part in a television debate earlier than planned — before ballot papers are sent out. the pair will take part in the first

nationwide hustings this afternoon. the war of words between iran and the usa continues, as president trump says he decided to call off air strikes at the last minute. the british government says a foreign minister will visit iran tomorrow for talks. celebrating the history of caribbean immigration — generations come together on the first ever windrush day as the prime minister announces a new memorial. almost half of packaging used by supermarkets in the uk can't be easily recycled or recycled at all, according to new research. the consumer group "which?" says a lot of material used to keep food fresh is unnecessary. the british retail consortium says retailers are working hard to ensure all plastic packaging is reusable or recyclable. "which?" says more sustainable materials and clearer labelling should be used. so it's clear that there is lots more supermarkets should be doing to make sure their rcycling labelling is easy to understand for consumers and wherever possible, supermarkets should also do away with unnecessary packaging. the government should

invest in better recycling infrastructure and across the board we would like to see better, more effective information for consumers so we can make the right choices. joining us now is gavin ellis, an environmental charity had which encourages the public to get involved. welcome to bbc news. good morning. i suppose in a sense, there's a lot of evidence the public is engage with issues of this kind, campaigns to reduce plastics in our waterways and oceans, and also on the question of packaging.” waterways and oceans, and also on the question of packaging. i think thatis the question of packaging. i think that is right, a massive level of awareness of the issue probably at a level we have never seen before but ido level we have never seen before but i do not think it is matched by people knowing what they can do about it, and i think that is because of confusion, caused by what has been outlined in this which? report. it is quite inconsistent

what we buy on the shelves, whether it is recyclable or not, changes from one council to the next. i think that is a lot that can be done to make it consistent and more simple for people to do the right thing. the government said this is consulting on one size fits all approach, this implies in england, which would mean the same materials could actually be recycled anywhere around the country. how big of a problem is that at the moment, how difficult in practical terms would it be to achieve that, given you have got different operators using different pieces of equipment to provide recycling services to different local councils? it depends which end you approach it from, if you approach it from the manufacturers and the retailers and what they use, and what they sell us and what we buy, that dictates what is going to get recycled at the end. so if you standardise it from the outside, i think that is the crucial thing. one thing i would say from a public point of view, from an individual point of view, what we

can do is just try not to buy the packaging in the first place. from an environmental point of view, that is the best thing you can do. an environmental point of view, that is the best thing you can dam an environmental point of view, that is the best thing you can do. it is noticeable, a lot of people now, far fewer people are putting loose freight into plastic bags and into the trolley they once were. there are some more consciousness of sticking the thing in the trolley itself and get into your main bag when you get to detail, if you are able do that. some of these specific figures, i was struck by some of them in this report. morrisons had them in this report. morrisons had the most packaging that cannot be easily recycled, 61%, not least because it uses non—recyclable plastic film. by contrast, tesco and waitrose, 40% of the packaging could not easily be recyclable but it is quite a big chunk that cannot be used. it is ultimately going to end up used. it is ultimately going to end up in landfill sites. yes, landfilled or be banned, or incinerated. i think the issue is the sum of that, the low grade

plastic, there isn't really much of a market for it. it is not actually what the huge amount, if you look at something what the plastic drinks bottles are made out of, it is quite a valuable material. if you are to recycle plastic bottle, as long as it is empty, then that plastic bottle is likely to be recycled where ever you are in the country. it is when you get to the miscellaneous bits of plastic in the film, that's when it becomes a bit more problematic. i think that is the stuff to try to avoid if at all possible. we have talked on the news channel a few months ago, i had no way they are about it till i read, a dark plastic container trays, typical thankful tv e—mails or read e—mails, —— a typical thing for tv meals or read e—mails, the equipment can't see them. i think it is something to do with the lasers,

does not pick it up. that seems remarkably simple problem to solve and it has not been. the supermarkets on the back fit at the moment and i think things will change, the more scrutiny from the media and the public that they get, they are more likely to change. there is a lot more that can still be done to eliminate that unmistakable plastic and to make it clearer, make the labelling clearer and more consistent. that is something else that comes out in the which? report, it just something else that comes out in the which? report, itjust isn't obvious from the labels all visible at all that this material is all isn't recycla ble. that this material is all isn't recyclable. that is something you would like manufacturers and retailers to do, to just put things on that? yes, definitely. i think there should be stare from government and guidance on what they should be doing. i think it comes back to making it simple to people,

most people are aware of the issue, they want to do something about it so they want to do something about it so let's make it as easy as possible for people to do the right thing. gavin ellis, thank you so much for talking to us about that which? report into recyclable materials. let's go to central london to the conservative conference, one of the two candidates of the conservative leadership is about to adjust the party activists. good morning. what a great welcome, thank you so much. i've had great couple of days. yesterday i was, i have had a great couple of days. i was in the matter to the mac west midlands, i had a run around the cathedral, it was beautiful, i went toa cathedral, it was beautiful, i went to a chocolate factory, a steel factory, a free haircut, all sorts of unexpected things happening. thank you, lou, for inviting me and when i originally accepted the invitation, i did so expecting to

talk to about policy and my life as foreign secretary. i dojust talk to about policy and my life as foreign secretary. i do just want to tell you this story that the longest serving ambassador in london told me a few weeks ago. it is actually the kuwaiti ambassador, he has been heavy 25 years, he is known as the dean of the diplomatic corps, he said, jeremy, junior difference between a camel and an ambassador? i said, no. he said, a camel can work for ten days without drinking and ambassador can drink for ten days without working. applause . there is no disrespect to the wonderful corps of ambassadors that we have, we actually have the finest diplomatic service in the world. i am really pleased to be here, but i wa nt to am really pleased to be here, but i want to cut to the chase because of

the country right now, we are in a dairy serious situation. get this wrong, and we could have no conservative government, may no conservative government, may no conservative party get it right, and we can deliver brexit, unite our country and send corbyn packing. applause now, in this brexit discussion, we have had a lot of debate about how, how we brexit, but not nearly enough discussion about who, who is the prime minister we trust to lead us out of the crisis. and if the party chooses me, i will be the first prime minister we have ever had, he has a background as an entrepreneur. have we got anyone here he has set up their own

business? lots. wow, what a fantastic audience. you understand one of the first things that any on tumour understands, it is about negotiation but —— any entrepreneur understands. you are negotiating with customers, your employees, you are trying to get those big contracts, everything is about negotiation. right now, if we send the wrong person out is our prime minster, there will be no trust, no negotiation, no deal and if palin enforces a general election, no brexit. the one thing that carbon will never deliver is us leaving the european union. —— the one thing that corbyn. send the right person and it could be totally different, because what negotiators do as they

ta ke because what negotiators do as they take a set of bad choices and they turn them into good choices, and i believe there is a deal to be done if we make the right approach now, we can do this and when we do, when we can do this and when we do, when we do, what extraordinary excitement awaits our country. someone who has set up their own business, i passionately want to fire up the british economy, turn us into the most pro—enterprise, pro—business, fastest—growing, greenest, most high—tech economy in europe, the top universities are in this country, top universities in europe, nowhere else comes close. we have more tech entrepreneurs, more medicines being developed here than in any other country. we could become if we got this right, the world's next silicon valley. and here in london, you see all the incredible enterprise happening, we have the financial

muscle power of the city of london, it is all there. i want to do some radical cuts to business taxes, bring corporation tax down to irish levels, 12.5%, cut business rates... applause i want to cut business rates for all those high street retailers who are struggling to compete with the online presence. i want to cut theirs for 90% of high street businesses and i want to help young people, young graduates to do what i do, set up their own business. now, if we do that, if we transform our economy, we can mount an economic jumbojet economy, we can mount an economic jumbo jet en europe as my doorstep. and when we do that, they will need us in the stray dogs every much as we need them. that is how we will

get the right deal for a future relationship with the european union. —— they will need us as much as we need them. iam also as we need them. i am also the foreign secretary he wa nts i am also the foreign secretary he wants britain to walk tall in the world, my dad was in the navy, and through my childhood we followed him to portsmouth, plymouth, surrey, scotland, all over the country. and thanks to the service of his generation, we won the cold war. that victory for our values belong to britain and america more than anyone else. and when i look at the world today, i look at the aggression that we now sadly are seen from russia, i look at malta graphic china, i want written to remain one of the countries in the world that stands up for democratic values and for the security

necessary to underpin them and that is why i have said i will take the difficult decision to increase our defence spending to beyond 2% of gdp, on top of 0.7% eight command. i wa nt gdp, on top of 0.7% eight command. i want the world to know that britain is here, britain is back and britain's voice will be loud and proud in the world. applause and then i would be the first prime minister he has ever run almost precious public service, the nhs, andi precious public service, the nhs, and i did it for nearly six years, i got a few more grey hairs when i finish a time when i started. i will never forget to the day i die my first month in thatjob. i had to

deal with the crisis, some officials tell me not to meet the mid staffs family, i went up to the west midlands and the lady who had lost her mother in a really horrible death at mid staffs, she looked me in the eye, she said, jeremy, you could be the one to change this. and i hope i did. it was after six yea rs, i hope i did. it was after six years, some very i hope i did. it was after six years, some very painful and difficult reforms, we had 2.7 million more patients using good or outstanding hospitals than when i started. applause that is much more to be done on the nhs. but i want our next social mission as a conservative party, because as conservatives we must away have a social mission, notjust

away have a social mission, notjust a economic mission, i wanted to beat a economic mission, i wanted to beat a chance for our social mission, every single other person in our country is going to be able to live out their days in dignity and respect and also our education system. our blind spot at the moment asa system. our blind spot at the moment as a country, if you go to a good or outstanding ofsted school, you go to a good university, you probably get one of the best education is in the world. but we don't think hard enough about the 50% of school leavers who don't go to university. nearly a quarter, nearly a quarter of our primary school leavers do not reach the required standard for reading and writing. many of them go on into the world of work without a decent qualification. i want us to be the conservative government that abolishes it religiously and says every single young person is going to leave education with a education

that means they can get a decently paid job. —— that abolishes a literalist. politics is about winning elections. i will be the first prime minister for half a century, the first time so that has one a marginal seat, and the one group of people we need to win back its young people. young people... applause young people are the future of our country, but they are also the future of our party because we can't be the party of aspiration is the most aspirational people in our country are not supporting us. and we have now for vote that we get, three votes going to labour and iam going get, three votes going to labour and i am going to change that, i'm going to it by recognising that what young

people want is a party that taps into their aspirations, so they need to be confident they can buy a house, which is much, much harder thanit house, which is much, much harder than it was before. they need to be confident they understand their concerns, and i cannotjustify 6% interest rates on student loans. i will change that. applause and they need to know that we share their values and things like climate change for young people are a total litmus test, they say you are going to be here in 50 years' time, we do not know if you are, but we want to know the planet is going to be there and you are going to do the right thing. we have got to show them that we are going to do that. one more thing as a campaigner that i will never do is have a general election before we have a general election before we have delivered brexit.

applause if we look at the peterborough by—election, we get squeezed by the brexit party on the right, the lib dems on the last, labour come right through the middle and if we don't learn that lesson, we ignore the crocodile lurking under the water of british politics. it is a labour party led by the most dangerous, ruthless, anti—western, anti—british, hard left that we have ever seen in british politics under jeremy corbyn. applause now, faced with a hard left populace, we could of course choose our own populace, or we could do better, we could choose our own jeremy. applause

and thisjeremy applause and this jeremy is applause and thisjeremy is going to win the argument for enterprise, for aspiration, or true socialjustice, iam going aspiration, or true socialjustice, i am going to deliver brexit and i'm going to unlock the potential of the greatest country on the planet. thank you very much. applause studio: jeremy hunt, he is going to ta ke studio: jeremy hunt, he is going to take some questions in the moment. it is not the hustings, that takes place in birmingham this afternoon. borisjohnson will be there as well. we are going to get some questions. sorry, have you got a microphone? do you want to shout and i will repeat the question? what does leadership mean to me. and keith are starting with a nice easy one. “—

keith are starting with a nice easy one. —— thank you for starting with a nice easy one. leadership is about doing the right thing, which sometimes means telling people what they do not want to hear. i have had some very they do not want to hear. i have had some very difficult moments in my time on front line politics. i think of thejunior doctors time on front line politics. i think of the junior doctors strike, where iam sure of the junior doctors strike, where i am sure i did not get everything right but in the end i was absolutely clear that we had to have absolutely clear that we had to have a seven—day nhs, and we had to be safe for patients. so sometimes for me leadership is about being prepared to do the right thing, even if you are unpopular. i came into politics, the reason i am conservative is because of margaret cho, i was inspired by her to believe that the purpose of politics is to change things. —— is because of margaret thatcher. winning elections is important but not an end of itself. i think leadership is about that. it is about being prepared to do the difficult things. applause yes? yes, you in the jacket. shout

it out, and i will repeat the question. do you think they will be able to say to a chinese government on principle... applause yes. i said that last week, and i said it when i went to china for my first visit as foreign secretary last august, and visit that was slightly overshadowed by a slight mix—up over my white's nationality. __ my mix—up over my white's nationality. —— my wife's nationality. we should sign that decorator in 1984, promises one country two systems. it matters to us that those values that

we re matters to us that those values that were enshrined in the joint declaration that allowed hong kong to continue its way of life, its basic freedoms and independent judiciary, rule of law, all of those things, they are our values as well and we signed that agreement. and so thatis and we signed that agreement. and so that is why i called on the chief executive of hong kong to hold, hold this new bill because like many people, i worried that it might be against the spirit of the joint declaration i am very pleased that she did. i think it is very, very important that the principles of one country important that the principles of one cou ntry two important that the principles of one country two systems are upheld because that is in the best interest of hong kong, and it is what is on the international legally binding agreement. applause studio: that is jeremy applause studio: that isjeremy hunt talking ata studio: that isjeremy hunt talking at a grassroots conservative meeting. he has been addressed by a group of candidates who have been eliminated. it continues this

afternoon with a number of them, including esther mcveigh. jeremy hunt will be jumping including esther mcveigh. jeremy hunt will bejumping on including esther mcveigh. jeremy hunt will be jumping on a including esther mcveigh. jeremy hunt will bejumping on a train and will be driving over, however he will be driving over, however he will get there, may be on his b i cycle, will get there, may be on his bicycle, he will be on his way to see borisjohnson later in the hustings this afternoon. hello. nicely timed for the start of the weekend, it is high pressure and settled weather out there. for many of us, starting the day like this — a view from cumbria earlier — and skies will stay like this. a slight chance of an isolated shower, vast majority will stay dry and it will feel a bit warmer. this is how it is looking — low pressure eventually will come in later this weekend into monday, but for now it is high pressure in control and that is why we are expecting a fine saturday across most of the uk. some cloud in the eastern parts of england with isolated showers possible, greater chance of showers in northern scotland and where it

has been cloudy in northern ireland, sunny spells developing. around 18 to 21 degrees. 22 in cardiff and london. very high pollen levels in england and wales. overnight, still the chance of a shower in northern scotland, variable cloud, clear spells elsewhere. just teasses of outbreaks of rain getting to the south—west of england later in the night. not quite as chilly as it was last night. back to the big picture, look at part two of the weekend and the area of low pressure getting closer and throwing the weather front towards the south—west of the uk. high—pressure still in control elsewhere for now, but after a fine start, there will be increasing cloud across the uk, the breeze starts to pick up, may be some showers breaking out, the odd thundery one, but the main area of rain from the weather front edging across more of south—west england, south—west wales and northern ireland. some of this will turn heavy and thundery in places. perhaps feeling warmer. a touch cooler on the north sea coast, but up to 25 celsius

in the warmer parts, but more humid areas of south—east england. here is the rainfall sunday night into monday. a met office yellow warning for thunderstorms, wales, parts of england and scotland, but northern ireland seeing rain also. big variety of rain totals possible here, but in the heavy bursts, some could see lots of rain, fairly short space of time as well, so the potential for some flooding and disruption into monday as that pushes northwards to give a wet monday for some in scotland, maybe up to 100 millimetres especially at higher ground. so the potential for disruption. stormy start to the week, turning hotter as well — 30, 31 celsius is possible in the hot spots, lots more humid as well. not everybody that hot.

this is bbc news. the headlines. it's emerged that police were called to the home of tory leadership candidate boris johnson, and his partner on thursday night after a neighbour said she heard a loud argument. it comes asjeremy hunt challenges mrjohnson to take part in a television debate earlier than planned before ballot papers are sent out. the pair will take part in the first nationwide hustings this afternoon. i think we should be doing debate early, often, you know, if the party wa nts early, often, you know, if the party wants him to go out to battle against nigel farage, jeremy corbyn and 27 eu countries, then surely it's not such a big deal to go out against a foreign secretary? the war of words between iran and the usa continues,
