11:02 am
sky news say they will postpone a planned tv debate between the two candidates for conservative leadership unless boris johnson agrees to take part. jb hunt had said he will participate but mr johnson has so far declined the invitation. —— jeremy hunt. johnson has so far declined the invitation. ——jeremy hunt. mr hunt has accused mrjohnson carriages. the foreign secretary said mr johnson needs to face more public scrutiny for his before the ballots for the race are issued. they are battling to win the support of the conservative party's 160,000 battling to win the support of the conservative pa rty‘s 160 , 000 members conservative party's 160,000 members who will decide next month which will become prime minister. in a tweet, the broadcaster says sky news has been planning to hold a debate tomorrow between the two remaining candidates in the conservative leadership election. jeremy hunt has agreed to take part but boris johnson has so far declined the invitation. we stand ready to host the debate tomorrow evening if both candidates make themselves available. without both candidates tomorrow's debate will not take
11:03 am
place but we will reissue our invitation for both to debate live on sky news next monday. the pair are taking part in hustings for party members which began in birmingham this weekend and will continue across the country until the 17th ofjuly. continue across the country until the 17th of july. conservative continue across the country until the 17th ofjuly. conservative party members receive their postal ballots in the second week ofjuly, the deadline to vote falls in the week ending on sunday the 21st ofjuly. tory officials will then tally up the votes and declare the winner, and new prime minister. there is frustration amongst mr hunt's supporters at his rival plasma campaign. he writes in the times today, don't be a coward, boris, man up today, don't be a coward, boris, man up and show the country you can cope with the intense scrutiny the most job in the country will involve. —— most difficultjob in the country. borisjohnson says, we will not bottle it, we must leave the eu at
11:04 am
the end of what may. that's got more now from our assistant political editor and westminster. more pressure than ever on boris to come out and speak publicly about his position. on boris to come out and speak publicly about his positionli on boris to come out and speak publicly about his position. i think it is inevitably going to fuel the demand for boris johnson it is inevitably going to fuel the demand for borisjohnson to put himself forward, engage in public debates, to undergo one—on—one television and radio interviews because it's clear his team'sstrategies to keep them out of the limelight for the view he might say something to compromise his position or appear wobbly on policy, they do not want to put forward for they do not want to put forward for the sort of scrutiny you'd expect on most circumstances, particularly if you're applying for the position of prime minister. the response of team hunt, they have accused boris johnson of being, quote, bottler boris, they've accused him of repeating the approach of theresa may who as we know was not
11:05 am
particularly keen on television debates either, at one point putting amber rudd in to step in for her, and saying it's continuity theresa may because borisjohnson is continuing the exact same strategy. which is why we have mr hunt writing in the times this morning accusing mrjohnson of trying to wreak this by not being prepared to undergo proper and full scrutiny. at the same time, his supporters have been turning theirfire on same time, his supporters have been turning their fire on the couple at the centre of the late—night row story between borisjohnson and his girlfriend, we've had supporters of mrjohnson describing them as being pa rt mrjohnson describing them as being part of the debt boris campaign. the health secretary matthew hancock, another late supporter of mr johnson, described them as snoopers. and the former international development secretary priti patel said this. i think it's fair to say the initial
11:06 am
report that was taken to the guardian newspaper was politically motivated by people, i mean, the very prospect of someone typing someone very prospect of someone typing someone in their private home, quite frankly, tells me that that is politically motivated and that is not the type of behaviour you would associate with our country, you would associate it with the old eastern bloc. so tell me that is not politically motivated. and jacob rees—mogg, the head of the hardline erd group castigated the guardian for publishing the story saying they should be ashamed of themselves. —— your g group. i think politicians should feel safe and unmolested in their own homes, i think that is reasonable to ask for. the aggression of the hard left is really appalling and not how british politics has normally been carried out. snoopers are always unattractive, curtain twitchers,
11:07 am
carbon easter curtain twitchers are not attractive. —— corbynista curtain twitcherss. there is one tv debate scheduled but not until after a ballot papers have gone out and probably already been crossed off, so of limited use. jeremy hunt is calling for a debate before party members have made their decision and this morning he challenged the bbc to set up its own debate for him and mrjohnson ahead of the ballot paper is calling for a debate before party members have made their decision and this morning he challenged the bbc to set up its own debate for him and mrjohnson ahead of the ballot papers going out. it is very disrespectful to say you're not going to do any head—to—head debates, any tough media interviews, for the next couple of weeks. because in two weeks' time, those ballot papers, the postal ballots, are going to arrive three people'sletterboxes and they're going to vote. so to say it has, you know, he said to me, i challenge you to the itv debate which i'm going to do, which i accepted, but it turns out the itv
11:08 am
debate is not happening until after people receive the postal ballots and most people have voted. i hope the bbc, and i hope you don't mind missing this on the bbc, i hope the bbc will have a proper debate in the next two weeks. i hope it boris doesn't turn up they will have an empty chair. as things stand there's no sign that tea m as things stand there's no sign that team boris are going to change their strategy of just team boris are going to change their strategy ofjust keeping him below the surface. they argue he is attending numerous hustings of tory party members and that in itself is sufficient scrutiny, they are the electorate and he is putting himself in front of those meetings in which they say he is adequately tested and scrutinised over policy actions under the batteries. norman, thank you very much. facebook‘s head of global affairs, the former deputy prime minister sir nick clegg, has told the bbc that the platform is in favour of new industry rules and regulation. speaking to the today programme, mr clegg said he wants to create an ‘oversight board‘, with the power to make independent rulings on whether questionable content should be removed from the site.
11:09 am
and he said there was no evidence that facebook affected the result of the eu referendum. these companies are huge and affect every aspect of our lives, our social lives, business lines, everyday lives, a third of the world plasma populations uses one or other of the facebook‘s menu of products, whatsapp, and instagram and so on. nonetheless it has all happened in such a short period of time i think we are somewhat breathlessly trying to catch up with the pace of growth and put guardrails in place, rules in place, and it‘s not for private companies, however big or small, to come up with those rules. it is for democratic politicians and the democratic politicians and the democratic world to do so on privacy, and how elections are conducted, on hateful content, all those things. let's talk about the principle, first of all. the cynics might say, here is nick clegg, effectively a pr man for mark
11:10 am
zuckerberg, he‘s had a lot of flak, saying, look this is your problem, not our problem. if you‘re worried about these things, you do something about these things, you do something about it, don‘t ask us to do something. i'm notjust providing a pr glass, in my newjob i am responsible for how these policies are set and they‘re very substantive on how to tackle terrence content online, how to protect elections from outside interference and so on. —— terrorist content. from outside interference and so on. -- terrorist content. but you are accepting... to some, it will sound as if he will say, don‘t blame us, nothing we can do, if you think there‘s a problem you go and sort it out. i don't think it's an issue of blame, i think it is right that companies like facebook and acknowledge the mistakes that they have made. and of course mistakes have made. and of course mistakes have been made. it isjust that have made. and of course mistakes have been made. it is just that i don‘t think that it is in any way conceivable, and more than that, i don‘t think it‘s right for private companies to set the rules of the road for something which is as
11:11 am
profoundly important as how technology serves society. and in the end, this is not something that big tech companies, the united states or elsewhere, can or should do elsewhere. and i‘m of the view that some people sort of yell at tech, i think it‘s important that we fix stack and resolve this tension that does exist between the amazing benefits that technology brings but it also brings risks to society. and i want to see, and that‘s part of my newjob, i want to see, and that‘s part of my new job, companies like i want to see, and that‘s part of my newjob, companies like facebook play an increasingly mature role, not shunning regulation but actually advocating it any sensible way. let‘s get more on this from an a nalyst let‘s get more on this from an analyst at a research service focusing on tech and media, thanks for coming in. nick clegg says it‘s not right for private companies to set the rules of the road. in terms of rules being set for the tech
11:12 am
companies, what progress is being made? there is a lot of moves on different fronts. the uk government has taken a bit of a lead on this recently, they released at the paper that called for tech companies to have a duty of care for their platforms, which would be quite a radical departure from the current regime tech companies aren‘t legally responsible for what is shared on their platforms, it is the user that is responsible. there are moves in the us, calls to break up the big tech companies from several leading democratic nominees for the 2020 presidential race, and there have been a lot of moves on the eu level to regulate data protection and privacy. so the conversation has certainly progressed beyond where it was a few years ago. what do you think about that stance, to say, well, it‘s not for us to do it, let‘s let the various authorities do
11:13 am
it because unless the company seem to be responsible, who knows what governments might come up with and some of these might be punitive for the companies. if that was the case with companies go along with it? they would have to obey the law, they all say that they obey the law in thejurisdictions they all say that they obey the law in the jurisdictions they operate. in terms of that messaging, it has been consistent for facebook recently that they want responsible regulation is applied consistently across companies and across the world. and i think that is the right move, because these are such important channels of communication and they have such an influence over the information that we see and the way we communicate, there does need to be some democratic input. the question to my mind is, facebook says they want all of these things but when there comes a specific, you know, specific proposals that might actually affect how much money they make, they are much more vague about what they want. so the question is, is this just
11:14 am
what they want. so the question is, is thisjust lip what they want. so the question is, is this just lip service to the idea of democratic accountability or are they serious this time? it does sort of ta ke they serious this time? it does sort of take us back to the enduring question, which is why is it so difficult for companies to get to grips with it, anyway? facebook and other social media platforms have come under a lot of criticism for material being on their platforms are not being taken down. why is it so are not being taken down. why is it so complicated ? are not being taken down. why is it so complicated? well, they're huge, for a start. facebook has 2 billion users plus globally, on operating in different markets, different cultural sensitivities, political situations. and they have not invested money to properly moderate all of these nuances, so you see all these really harmful outcomes from places like sri lanka and myanmar where they haven‘t been on top of that, and the reason it‘s so difficult is because it‘s so big and they just haven‘t put difficult is because it‘s so big and theyjust haven‘t put the money in to deal with these problems. on the other issue that he tackles is influence of social media and
11:15 am
different countries in what happens in elections, obviously cambridge analytica and the influence potentially of what happened there was discussed and he is saying, actually, it‘s the traditional media over a0 yea rs actually, it‘s the traditional media over a0 years that has had a much greater impact on people‘sattitudes than social media currently. 0bviously that makes sense because traditional media has obviously been taking partisan positions over many yea rs. taking partisan positions over many years. but how would you define the current role of social media and its power and influence? it has a different row to the traditional media, traditional media elites on these issues, they write headlines and set the agenda. —— really leads on these issues. what facebook does is it decides what comes up in front of us via its algorithms, trying to maximise engagement from the user. so it has a more subtle role which people are still realising, you know, akin to an editorial role.
11:16 am
it's know, akin to an editorial role. it‘s different but people are spending an hour, to hours a day on facebook. so the influence that the content they see on that is going to have more and more. nick clegg is probably right in this instance that 30 years of headlines have more impact, but we have seen in countries around the world that what people see on facebook can have a massive influence on their opinions. thank you. the uk has warned iran that it "needs to stop" attacks on oil tankers in the gulf of oman. iranian officials have denied any involvement, but on a visit to tehran the foreign office minister andrew murrison has said the british government believes iran "almost certainly bears responsibility". tom bateman is in fujairah, in the united arab emirates, for us. bring us up—to—date with the latest reaction to what has been happening on this. what we have now is the us secretary of state mike pompeo has
11:17 am
landed in saudi arabia and has met king salman, the saudi king, in the port city ofjeddah. he has been welcomed as a dear friend, they are very close allies, as is the uae where we are now. and just across the strait is iran, of course, just across the water, 25 miles, that real sense of volatility continues here on the go. but i think what we will see in the coming days is quite a lot of diplomacy after the military events and the escalation of last week, because what mr pompeo has said is that he wants to create a global coalition to push back against iran, he says, and what he sees as its aggressive regional ambitions. but on the other hand, you have the british, other european nations who have been talking to the iranians, trying to keep that 2015 nuclear deal alive. remember, the us pulled out of it last year, imposed
11:18 am
punishing sanctions on iran. we had american saying today they are shortly going to announce some new additions to that list of sanctions, all in an attempt to pressure the iranians and really sort of keep the boot on the windpipe of the nuclear deal, which the europeans are trying to keep alive. but certainly the prospects for it i think that pretty bleak. we had the iranians saying yesterday after that british ministerial visit that they don‘t believe the europeans really want to keep the deal going. and as for them, they say that later this week they will start to breach one of the technical limits on low enriched uranium that is in that nuclear deal. and we just seeing pictures of the moment that that missile those pictures released by iranian television. —— that that missile struck. what is mike pompeo talking about? i think it's going to be tricky, there certainly no doubt
11:19 am
that gulf allies like countries here on the arabian peninsula be right alongside the us in pushing for a further tough action against iran. the uae said yesterday that they think the solution has to be political. and of course those sanctions are beginning to bite when it comes to the iranians. but as for other countries, he has been in brussels, he flies to india tomorrow, it‘s going to be a tough ask in terms of what americans want from the nuclear deal. they want talks of iran but in terms of president trump‘s terms of them have no nuclear weapons, they do not believe the agreement was tough enough. europeans still believe in it but i think there will be left with little choice if the iranians are to start breaching the deal themselves, then europeans will have to impose sanctions too. but then you have issues like oil, the value has been dropping since americans
11:20 am
put sanctions in place. india has been buying lots of it but they are now finding it even tougher because of the american sanctions. thank you, tom. an update on our headlines on bbc news. tory leadership candidate jeremy hunt calls on borisjohnson to stop being a coward and take part inatv to stop being a coward and take part in a tv debate this week. sky says it will delay it unless both take part. facebook says it supports an oversight board to regulate content, says its head of global affairs, sue nick clegg. uk minister warns that iran must stop attacks in the gulf of oman. and in sport, english women are through to the quarterfinals of the world cup. but boss says he was ashamed of the behaviour of their opponents. lopez took the double title.

11:22 am
trajectory. he has towered over an opposition that has seemed totally divided, incapable of dividing him. they have —— are capable of challenging him. they have found their voice. turkey is a profoundly polarised country, which president anyone has a rule through this kind of divide and rule strategy. and the other side of this country was yearning for somebody who would represent them and who could challenge the president. they have found that in a softly spoken, relentlessly positive a9—year—old former mayor of a district of istanbul, little known previously, he has now managed to channel that desire for hope and optimism and is the new mayor elect of istanbul. what all this means is that i think it isa what all this means is that i think it is a turning point for turkey. it will be seen very much as the beginning of the end for president out one by many here. there will be
11:23 am
talk of the post erdogan era. there are already splits within his own party, theirs will be deepened and there whispers will only grow louder over when rather than if president anyone‘s you will ever come to an end. —— president everyone‘s era. plans have been announced for england‘s first gambling clinic for children. partly because of an explosion in online betting. hgppy explosion in online betting. happy family memories captured on camera. jack dancing with his mother liz. 18 months ago, whenjack was 2a, he took his own life in a gap yearin 2a, he took his own life in a gap year in vietnam after losing money ona bed. year in vietnam after losing money on a bed. he started gambling in sheffield with his friends when he was 17. but it was a habit that
11:24 am
spiralled into addiction. they didn‘t think it was unsafe, he didn‘t think it was unsafe, he didn‘t think it was unsafe, he didn‘t think it was unsafe. and i think he felt in the end that it controlled him and that‘s why he died, really. he felt he would never be free of it. his parents now run a charity to support other families. they are welcoming the news that a clinic for teenagers and young people the gambling problems will openin people the gambling problems will open in london this year after what has been open to this point in adult only service. it‘s been reported that more children are betting than those who drink alcohol, smoke or ta ke those who drink alcohol, smoke or take drugs, and many have a gambling problem. i have dedicated my life to treating adult problem gamblers and that has been sad enough, seeing the destruction that this has incurred. having said this, many of my adult patients were already children with problem gambling issues. from
11:25 am
september, treatment sessions will be offered to children alongside their parents and also focus on mental health difficulties relating to gambling. another adult clinic will open later in leeds later this year and others are planned for manchester and sunderland. it‘s hoped they will offer support to those who need it the most before what nhs bosses have described as the scourge of problem gambling more lives. a crowdfunding website has closed down an account raising money for the australian rugby player, israel folau, who was sacked for posting homophobic messages on social media. the player says he‘s the victim of religious discrimination. the gofundme site said it was committed to equality for all gay and lesbian people. 0ur sydney correspondent hywel griffith tells us more. 0n on one site, you have israel folau are claiming he‘s a victim of discrimination and plenty of people support his cause. some people who like him as a rugby player, he is
11:26 am
one of rugby‘s biggest global stars who is due to be in the world cup later this year. some people say they do not agree with what he said but want to defend his right to say it. he wants to take his previous employers, rugby australia, the court, and that‘s why he was fund—raising. he had been pretty successful, in four days he had raised £a00,000 but now korzun me say he breached the terms of condition —— the website say he breached the terms and conditions and they support gay and lesbian people. it is being seen as a bit of a test case. one hand, someone‘s freedom of religion and as an employee the right to express that. but on the other side, you have people, whatever their sexuality, who support the right for freedom of this nomination. —— freedom from discrimination. so a lot of people will be watching how this case develops, if it gets to court. a 1a—year—old boy has been charged with murder after a man was stabbed to death in bristol. police were called to reports of a serious assault

11:28 am
problem is going to be with us for some time unless we sustain that funding. now, if you look at, for example, youth work, local councils now almost abandoned his work because of the cuts. if you look at the work that we could be doing in schools, there is an enormous amount that we could be doing, as well as preventative work that needs some funding but it does need a prolonged effort, not just a funding but it does need a prolonged effort, notjust a one—off short—term burst of funding. time for a look at the weather. good morning. there is a lot of interesting weather this week, for the next few days its thunderstorms, intense downpours with flash flooding possible, also quite warm and humid weather, temperatures getting to the mid 20s across the south—east. today we have under the rain moving its way through central areas up rain moving its way through central areas up into the north—west and north—east of england, meanwhile rain continuing in the far north of

11:33 am
although he had pulled back from front line politics, he was still in the house of lords, you still used to see him out and about in westminster. it was —— he was politically active and politically engaged. in some ways, strikingly so, in that he had proved quite a vociferous supporter of jeremy corbyn when many, of course, who served in the new labour government under tony blair and gordon brown have become amongst mr corbyn‘s most vociferous critics. he has always stock up for mr corbyn and been quite vocal about it. a pivotal figure in the new labour years, who was pretty much the conscience of the labour party as tony labour —— tony blair went about modernising it. we had a stroke on friday. we have to wait to see what kind of medical bulletins the hospital issue. thank you, norman. now let‘s get the sport from the bbc sport centre. hello. the fallout from england‘s win over cameroon continues this
11:34 am
morning. the lioness won 3—0 to reach the quarterfinals of the world cup but manager phil neville was fuming about the behaviour of the opposition. katie gornall was watching. this was a match that had everything but only one thing really matters to england, they‘re still standing. from the start, cameroon tried to throw them off course, but it all started to unravel when cameroon‘s goalkeeper picked up a backpass and in the melee, england‘s toni duggan appeared to be spat on. what they needed was a cool head in the cauldron. step forward, steph houghton. commentator: houghton,1-0! cheering. england are ranked a3 places above cameroon and soon ellen white pressed home their advantage. into white...flag stays down, ellen white! it was a goal confirmed by var but still, cameroon‘s players felt hard done by. in the second half, ajara nchout looked to have caught england cold, only to have var steal the spotlight. now the drama and the anger had reached new heights. england, too, were rattled
11:35 am
but when it mattered they found a way through, as alex greenwood settled the nerves. even the referee was in the firing line and the match would have a painful end for england‘s captain as alexandra takounda escaped red for this. cameroon are out but have left their mark. that wasn‘t football for me. that wasn‘t a world cup last 16 in terms of the behaviour that i want to see from footballers. you know, this is going out worldwide. we always knew that cameroon would be an unpredictable side and i don‘t think anyone foresaw a game packed with as much incident and emotion as this. it would have been a stressful for england, they‘ll be relieved to have come through it relatively unscathed and now they face an entirely different prospect in norway. a team that they will have to be at their very best to beat. katie gornall, bbc news, in valenciennes. france are also in the quarterfinals. they needed extra time to beat brazil 2—1. quarterfinals. they needed extra time to beat brazil 2-1. they will now face either spain or reigning

have to stop filming. we don‘t have permission to film inside. 1.5 hours later, adele is out from an environment she says will hinder, not help, eddie‘s chances for following her home anytime soon. you can hear alarms going, you hear door slamming, phones ringing, bleepers. you can hear really distressed people. i‘m driving home in a minute, he‘s not. he‘s got a stay in that environment. i struggled for an hour. he‘s desperate to come home. this is an exhausting 10—hour round trip for adele. right, we‘re nearly back, but i just want to show you this place first. this... this is eddie‘s house. just over a year ago, a house and a care team was found for eddie so he could move back to his own community. it‘s exactly as it was... but being so far away, there was no smooth transition into new surrounds.
11:41 am
eddie was back in hospital within three weeks. for him to be back in his home with the right care and support would be cheaper. even if it was more expensive, he should still be entitled to it because it‘s a human right not to be locked away. local commissioners told us they‘re still working on a new specialist care package. you shouldn‘t be locked away for a disability. nhs england say they‘re invested £75 million to improve support in the community and numbers of people travelling for car are down but the reality for some like eddie is the door out of hospital is a revolving one. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. at least 1a people were killed and 50 others injured in western india when a thunderstorm caused a huge tent to collapse. officials said hundreds of locals had gathered for a hindu religious event in the state of rajasthan when the tent fell down. gareth barlow reports. a religious ceremony that turned into a tragedy. hundreds gathered around the wrecked tent as rescue

11:46 am
good morning. lots to get through. including news that today is the day that rent falls due for thousands of shops and commercial buildings. it is the time many retailers dread because it means they have to pay out a lot of money in advance because they pay their rent quarterly. it means a lot of money being paid out today without any real guarantees they will get that money back from sales. we are talking about this a lot lately because a number of high—profile firms have had to rely on paying that rent upfront and then rely on renegotiating those arounds with landlords. we know topshop and the arcadia group, they are in the process of trying to renegotiate theirs. they have just got that deal through with their landlords. nonetheless, a difficult time for them. at the same time we know a number of other retailers have gone to their landlords and said, give us a deal or the firm may go under. a
11:47 am
number of firms have been struggling with that. bhs the biggest casualty, failing to come to a deal with its landlord and therefore it had to close, putting thousands ofjobs at risk and its pensions concerns, too. we will come back to that story in a second. we will run you through the other business stories in the meantime. the data protection watchdog, the ico, has fined telecoms giant ee for sending unlawful text messages. the £100,000 fine was imposed after the firm sent more than 2.5 million direct marketing messages to its customers, without consent. the messages, sent early last year, encouraged customers to donwload the ‘my ee‘ app and also to upgrade their phone. health and beauty chain boots has started to replace plastic bags with brown paper bags in an attempt to cut down on the use of single use plastic. the retailer is also introducing paper bags for prescriptions, but those assembled at its central pharmacy will still be sent out in plastic packaging, a move that‘s been criticised by customers.

and the trump administration is looking into the possibility of making sure all 5g equipment used in the us must be made outside china. reports in the wall stjournal follow america‘s ban on the chinese tech giant huawei installing 5g equipment. in may, the us added huawei to a list of companies that american firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence. as promised, let‘s return to the story about rent. today is the day that rents fall due for many retailers, a tough time, as we have been discussing. retailers trying to negotiate rents with landlords. ion fletcher is director of finance and commercial property at the british property federation. good morning. iwasjust highlighting some of those that have beenin highlighting some of those that have been in the headlines lately. we have heard that bhs failed to reach
11:49 am
a deal. arcadia have managed to reach a deal. it is a tough time for retailers and they are looking at what they are paying at rent because there is no guarantee they will make that money back? it is a tough time for retailers, dealing with all of the challenges of online retail and changer —— changing consumer habits. that is why we are seeing so many cvas. the first thing i would say a that landlords are supportive. that is what the cvas are therefore. we are no more keen than anybody else to see store closures and boarded up high streets. at the same time, investors are high streets. at the same time, investors a re represented, high streets. at the same time, investors are represented, many through their pension funds. landlords need to do what is right for them, that is why cvas are such a big deal. the fact that rents are collected cordially, this dates back decades. why does it need to be so
11:50 am
far in advance? why can‘t landlords collect monthly? it is something that has drawn up over time. looking into the benefits of monthly collection versus quarterly collection, it doesn‘t represent that much of a cash flow advantage to the retailer. and it gives landlords and their investors a certain amount of security about the rent likely to be coming in. landlords are long—time investors. they have invested in pension funds. it provides comfort to landlords and ultimately you and me that the money will be coming in to fund our pensions. do you think this is contributing to some of the problems we are seeing on the high street? essentially you are saying that retailers have to take a gamble every quarter as to whether they are going to make enough money over the coming quarter to justify what they are paying in rent. if it was monthly, they could say, i think i‘m
11:51 am
0k monthly, they could say, i think i‘m okfor monthly, they could say, i think i‘m ok for the next 30 days, i think i can pay it. but landlords also need the security. there has to be a happy medium? there does. retailers are our customers, landlords want retailers to succeed. you are seeing the market changing by arounds falling quite dramatically. leases are becoming shorter. five year leases with a break. to finish those within a few years is the norm. increasing elements of turnover rent as well. the amount of the retailers have to pay to landlords being directly linked to performance of their stores, which completely aligned the incentives of landlords and retailers to make sure that things work out best for everybody. good to talk to you. thank you for your insight. more from us. the pyramid stage at glastonbury is one of the most instantly recognisable festival stages in the

you‘re watching bbc newsroom live — these are today‘s main stories: atv a tv debate between the conservative leadership candidates will be cancelled unless both take part. jeremy hunt calls on opponent boris johnson to ‘stop being a coward‘. it is very disrespectful to say you‘re not going to do any head to head debates, any tough media interviews, for the next couple of weeks, beause in two weeks‘ time those ballot papers, those postal ballots, are going to arrive through people‘s letter boxes, and they‘re going to vote. in a newspaper article borisjohnson insists he will deliver brexit by the end of october. his allies dismiss reports of the row with his partner as politically motivated. the very prospect of someone taping someone in their private home, quite frankly, tells me
12:01 pm
that it is politically motivated. the former deputy prime minister lord prescott is admitted to hospital after suffering a stroke. facebook is in favour of an ‘oversight board‘ to regulate the platform‘s content, says its head of global affairs sir nick clegg. foreign office minister andrew murrison warns that iran must stop attacks in the gulf of oman amid rising tensions between the country and the us. the party of turkey‘s president erdogan is defeated in a re—run of the mayoral election in istanbul, which was seen as a key test of his authority. the uk‘s first gambling addiction clinic for young people is to be opened by nhs england it‘s thought more than 50,000 children have a problem. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. sky news says it will postpone
12:02 pm
a plannned tv debate between the two ——sky news says it will scrap a plannned tv debate between the two candidates for the conservative leadership unless both agree to take part. jeremy hunt had said he will participate but mrjohnson has so far declined the invitation. mr hunt said his opponent was being disrespectful of tory party members by refusing to subject himself to scrutiny. sky news said... the pair are taking part in hustings for party members, which began in birmingham this weekend, and will continue across the country untiljuly17th. conservative party members receive their postal ballots in the second week ofjuly. the deadline to vote falls in the week ending on sunday 21st july. tory officials will then tally up the votes, and declare the winner
12:03 pm
and new prime minister. there‘s frustration among mr hunt‘s supporters at his rival‘s campaign, the foreign secretary writes in the times today, "don‘t be a coward, boris. "man up and show the country you can cope with the intense scrutiny the most difficultjob in the country will involve." writing in the telegraph, borisjohnson has attempted to clarify his position on brexit, saying "we are not going to bottle it". he says, "we must leave the eu on oct 31 come what may. it will honour the referendum result‘... "it will focus the minds of eu negotiators." let‘s get more now from our assistant political editor norman smith, who‘s in westminster now. is he going to come out and do this debate? i doubt it very much. the clear strategy of timo boris is to keep as low profile as possible when it comes to the media, to curtail opportunities for journalists to carry out detailed and sustained questioning of mrjohnson with over
12:04 pm
his personal life or over his policy positions. —— this strategy of team boris. that has been the strategy from day one and i expect he will try to run that threw the rest of the campaign. that said, criticism will inevitably intensify and is intensifying in the wake of the sky decision. mr hunt had said, ok, i will be there tomorrow night, boris johnson had not taken up that invitation. sky said, what‘s the point of borisjohnson isn‘t going to show up? the response from team hunt is, butler boris, too scared to turn up and take part in this debate, they‘ve accused his campaign of not trusting their month to appear in front of the cameras. —— bottler boris. and they‘ve upped the a nte bottler boris. and they‘ve upped the ante with that article in the times this morning, accusing mrjohnson of trying to rig the contest by effectively keeping his head down and trying to slip into downing street through the back door. i think team hunt will be pretty annoyed, not just because
12:05 pm
think team hunt will be pretty annoyed, notjust because they want these debates, but they hope is that these debates, but they hope is that the debates provide a way of mr hunt getting some name recognition. because obviously he‘s just not as well—known as borisjohnson. so they see these debates is a way of boosting their man‘s profile, so clearly now that sky have pulled the plug on it tomorrow night, that opportunity have their weight has gone. so now team hunt are saying, why doesn‘t the bbc held its own head debate ahead of when the ballot papers are going to be centred at the end ofjuly? —— head—to—head debate will stop it is very disrespectful. say you‘re not going to do any it is very disrespectful to debate will stop say ——it is very disrespectful say you're not going to do any head—to—head debates, any tough media interviews, for the next couple of weeks. because in two weeks' time, those ballot papers, the postal ballots, are going to arrive through people's letterboxes and they're going to vote. so to say it has, you know, he said to me, "i challenge
12:06 pm
you to the itv debate which i'm going to do," which i accepted, but it turns out the itv debate is not happening until after people receive the postal ballots and most people have voted. i hope the bbc, and i hope you don't mind missing this on the bbc, i hope the bbc will have a proper debate in the next two weeks. i hope if boris doesn't turn up they will have an empty chair. tea m teamjohnson team johnson say, hey, we are taking pa rt team johnson say, hey, we are taking part in these leadership debates leg around 16 of them come up and down the country, that‘s good enough, that‘s detailed scrutiny. they‘ve been out and about kicking lumps out of the neighbours whose reported the row between borisjohnson and his girlfriend over the weekend, we had jacob rees—mogg describing them as corbynista curtain twitchers, the best in the guardian for publishing the story, saying they should be ashamed. others have described the couple as snoopers and part of a get boris campaign, this was the view of the former international development secretary priti patel he was out and
12:07 pm
about this morning to speak in boris johnson‘s behalf. i think it's fair to say the initial report that was taken to the guardian newspaper was politically motivated by people, i mean, the very prospect of someone taping someone in their private home, quite frankly, tells me that that is politically motivated and that is not the type of behaviour you would expect in our country, you would associate it with the old eastern bloc. so tell me that is not politically motivated. let‘s turn our attention to another story, john prescott, the former deputy prime minister, has suffered a stroke. what can you tell us? john prescott has suffered a stroke on friday and has been admitted to the whole royal infirmary, he is in the andean stroke department. —— the hull infirmary. we don‘t have any sort of information about what
12:08 pm
condition he‘s in, just the family say what sort of tremendous treatment they received from the staff at the hospital. john prescott was 81 but you‘d still see him out and about at westminster, though he is to pull back from front line politics, he is still politically engaged as it were. and he sort of become quite a prominentjeremy corbyn supporters which has put him slightly at odds with those who came from the same sort of political area as him, namely the new labour, tony blair political supporters, because they have the come mist corbyn‘s keenest critics. john prescott has not, he been notable in standing up for mist corbyn. so he has still been politically engaged although he has not been involved in the cutting edge of politics but he has been admitted to hospital now and we will have to wait and see what reports we get from the medical stuff about his condition. thank you. facebook‘s head of global affairs, the former deputy prime
12:09 pm
minister sir nick clegg, has told the bbc that the social media platform is in favour of new industry rules and regulation. speaking to the today programme, mr clegg said he wants to create an ‘oversight board‘, with the power to make independent rulings on whether questionable content should be removed from the site. and he said there was no evidence that facebook affected the result of the eu referendum. these companies are huge and affect every aspect of our lives, our social lives, business lines, everyday lives, a third of the world‘s populations uses one or other of facebook‘s menu of products, whatsapp and instagram and so on. nonetheless it has all happened in such a short period of time i think we are somewhat breathlessly trying to catch up with the pace of growth and put guardrails in place, rules in place, and it‘s not for private companies, however big or small, to come up with those rules. it is for democratic politicians and the democratic world to do so on privacy, on how elections are conducted, on hateful content, all those things. let‘s talk about the
12:10 pm
principle, first of all. the cynics might say, here is nick clegg, effectively a pr man for mark zuckerberg, he‘s had a lot of flak, saying, look this is your problem, not our problem. if you‘re worried about these things, you do something about it, don‘t ask us to do something. i‘m notjust providing a pr gloss, in my newjob i am responsible for how these policies are set and they‘re very substantive on how to tackle terrorist content online, how to protect elections from outside interference and so on. but you are accepting... to some, it will sound as if you‘re saying, don‘t blame us, nothing we can do, if you think there‘s a problem you go and sort it out. i don‘t think it‘s an issue of blame, i think it is right that companies like facebook acknowledge the mistakes that they have made. and of course mistakes have been made. it is just that i don‘t think that it is in any way conceivable,
12:11 pm
and more than that, i don‘t think it‘s right for private companies to set the rules of the road for something which is as profoundly important as how technology serves society. and in the end, this is not something that big tech companies, from the united states or elsewhere, can or should do elsewhere. can or should do ——on their own. and i‘m of the view that some people sort of yell at tech, i think it‘s important that we fix tech and resolve this tension that does exist between the amazing benefits that technology brings but it also brings risks to society. and i want to see, and that‘s part of my newjob, companies like facebook play an increasingly mature role, not shunning regulation but actually advocating it in a sensible way.
12:12 pm
the uk has said that iran needs to stop attacks in the gulf of oman. tom is in the uae for us. what we haveis tom is in the uae for us. what we have is the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has landed in saudi arabia and met the saudi king in the port city of jeddah arabia and met the saudi king in the port city ofjeddah and been welcomed as a dear friend, these are very, very close allies, as is the uae, where we are now, just across the strait is iran, of course. and the strait is iran, of course. and the church‘s point across the water is just 25 the church‘s point across the water isjust 25 miles, the church‘s point across the water is just 25 miles, that real sense of volatility here continues on the go. —— the shortest point across the water. i think what we will see in the coming days is diplomacy, after the coming days is diplomacy, after the military events and the escalation of last week. because what mr pompeo has said is that he wa nts to what mr pompeo has said is that he wants to create a global coalition to push back against iran, he says,
12:13 pm
what he sees as this aggressive regional ambitions. but on the other hand you have the british and other european nations who have been talking to the iranians, trying to keep that 2015 nuclear deal alive, and remember, the us pulled out of eight last year and imposed punishing sanctions on iran. the americans say they are shortly going to announce new additions to that list of sanctions, in an attempt to pressure the iranians and release are to keep a bit on the windpipe of the nuclear deal, which the europeans are trying to keep alive but i think prospects for it looked pretty bleak. —— really sort of keep the boot on the windpipe. a 1a—year—old boy has been charged with murder after a man was stabbed to death in bristol. police were called to reports of a serious assault in the st pauls area of the city in the early hours of friday morning, where a man

he didn‘t think it was unsafe. and i think he felt, in the end, that it controlled him and that is why he died, really, because he felt he would never be free of it. jack‘s parents now run a charity to support other families. they‘re welcoming the news that a clinic for teenagers and young people with gambling problems will open in london, later this year, in what has, until now, been an adult—only service. it is estimated a50,000 children are regularly betting, more than those who drink alcohol, smoke or take drugs, and many have a gambling problem. i've dedicated my life to treating adult problem gamblers and that has been sad enough, seeing the destruction that these people have incurred. having said this, many of my adult patients were already children with problem gambling issues. from september, treatment sessions will be offered to children alongside their parents, and also focus on mental health
12:19 pm
difficulties related to gambling. another adult clinical will open in leeds later this year, ——another adult clinic will open in leeds later this year, and others are planned for manchester and sunderland. it‘s hoped they‘ll offer support to those who need it the most, before what nhs bosses have described as the "scourge of problem gambling" ruins more lives. lauren moss, bbc news. there have been late night celebrations in istanbul, where the ruling party of president erdogan has been defeated. the mayoral election, which was re—run after the president complained of irregularities in march, was won more emphatically this time, by the candidate from the secular republican people‘s party. mark lowen is in istanbul and he summarised the impact the defeat will have on recep erdogan‘s presidency. for 25 years, erdogan‘s political trajectory has been upwards. he was mayor of istanbul, the city
12:20 pm
where he was born, that propelled him to national power as prime minister then president. he has towered over an opposition that has seemed totally divided, incapable of challenging him. they have now found their voice. they have found the hope they crave. turkey is a profoundly polarised country, which president erdogan has ruled through this kind of divide and rule strategy. and the other side of this country was yearning for somebody who would represent them and who could challenge the president. they have found that in ekrem imamoglu, a softly spoken, relentlessly positive a9—year—old former mayor of a district of istanbul, little known previously, he has now managed to channel that desire for hope and optimism and is the new mayor elect of istanbul. what all this means is that i think it is a turning point for turkey. it will be seen very much as the beginning of the end of president erdogan by many here. there will be talk of the post erdogan era. there are already splits
12:21 pm
within his own party, those will be deepened and the whispers will only grow louder over when rather than if president erdogan‘s era will ever come to an end. the inquest into the deaths of those killed in the london bridge attack in 2017 has been hearing from the man who ran the fitness centre where one of the attackers trained. he was previously accused of running terrorist training camps but has strenuously denied any connection with the attackers. what have we been hearing? we have been hearing from a man who runa we have been hearing from a man who run a fitness centre in london where the three attackers would meet up and work out together. he also ran a religious school in east london where one of the attackers

guy. we‘ve also heard this morning in court from the senior investigating officer into the london bridge attacks, and she confirmed that the police have not established any personal link between this man and the attacker, even though mr but, the attacker, was known to attend the gym run. the he says that he has been the target of right wing extremists that have come to his home to train him and his family. he is still speaking, you will remember this is the inquest that killed eight people in the attacks on london bridge and bear market in 2017, and more evidence will be held this afternoon. —— london bridge and borough market. a crowdfunding website has closed down an account raising money for the australian rugby player, israel folau, who was sacked for posting homophobic messages on social media.
12:24 pm
the player says he‘s the victim of religious discrimination. the gofundme site said it was committed to equality for all gay and lesbian people. our sydney correspondent hywel griffith has more. on one side, you have israel folau claiming he‘s a victim of discrimination and plenty of people support his cause. some people who like him as a rugby player, he is one of rugby‘s biggest stars who is due to be in the world cup later this year. some people say they do not agree with what he said but want to defend his right to say it. he wants to take his previous employers, rugby australia, to court, and that‘s why he was fund—raising. he had been pretty successful, in four days he had raised £a00,000 but now gofundme say he breached the terms and conditions and they support gay and lesbian people. it is being seen as a bit of a test case. one hand, someone‘s freedom of religion and as an employee

12:31 pm
turkey‘s biggest city has turned away from the governing party and elected an opposition candidate. the vote was the rerun of the mayoral election in march that the governing party called for, alleging irregularities. it is a sub —— severe blow for mr hurd again. mark lowen has the story. they roared, not just in mark lowen has the story. they roared, notjust in victory, but in celebration that they are turkey still exists. an opposition that has waited 25 years to control istanbul, that long felt incapable of success, savoured its moment. this man has brought them the hope they craved with his optimistic message, rebuffing attacks with smiles, and he won by a landslide. translation: i asked god for this result to bring good fortune to our nation and istanbul. he protected
12:32 pm
100 years of democracy in our country. thank you, my fellow citizens. this result does not mean a new page. it means a new beginning for istanbul. as votes were counted, his victory was clear against a former prime minister with near total dominance over the media. but in concession, a conciliatory note. translation: i hope our dear friend will serve istanbul well. we will do our best to help you accomplish his work. recep tayyip erdogan has towered over turkey as mayor of istanbul himself and then president, a key globalfigure in everything from security to syria, he has polarised turkey. after claiming irregularities following the first mayoral election in march, he pushed for a rerun. this fresh loss will prompt talk of the beginning of his end. although he passes the new
12:33 pm
mayor of istanbul, he hasjust end. although he passes the new mayor of istanbul, he has just dealt the biggest blow to recep tayyip erdogan in the presidentmy 25 year political career. translation: this is really good. it is really great. everyone is smiling. everything will be very good. translation: my personal view is that it wasn‘t right to repeat this election. the fact it was won with such a election. the fact it was won with sucha margin election. the fact it was won with such a margin is betterfor istanbul. turkish democracy, so pummelled over the years, still has life in it. here with me now is a research fellow at the think—tank. he has won bya fellow at the think—tank. he has won by a big margin. fellow at the think—tank. he has won bya big margin. how fellow at the think—tank. he has won by a big margin. how effectively is he going to be able to wield power? it is very important because this was the first political change in istanbul since 198a. president adi
12:34 pm
gunn and his party have been controlling it. maybe it will be difficult for him because the majority of the council belong to the government party. but the leader has leeway to change and put pressure on the ruling party. what would he be looking to do first off? he promised to be more transparent and more tolerant. his colleague in ankara, he also started to broadcast in ankara. the previous leadership gave 950,000... he managed to cut. first thing first, he will be more transparent. he is trying to welcome different groups. and in terms of actual change that will be palpable for people living in istanbul, what
12:35 pm
would you expect? turkey has been very polarised, especially the country has been missing an election process for more than six months. it has become government versus others. we will be hoping to see some kind of tolerance. i think he is going to be the new opposition figure against the president. it is all about the president, whether he is going to attract the new leader personally and try to make a new enemy. the president has been dependent on enemies. if he is trying to take him seriously, then we will see actually a similar political fight. maybe he will let it go. there will be more tolerance in turkish society and politics. how much of a threat does he potentially posed to the
12:36 pm
leadership and power of recep tayyip erdogan? today the president has lost a mayoral position but he has not lost political power. in the beginning of the first election he changed new directions. this is significantly important. it shows that he still controls turkish politics and he is a strong authority on thejudiciary and state progress. but this doesn‘t mean that he will be... this also means that he will be... this also means that he will be giving up some power in istanbul. he will try to grasp the power of the istanbul establishment and direct this to a central government. istanbul was described by the president himself as being the place where, if you control istanbul, you control turkey. how true is that? is istanbul different from the rest of the country?m true is that? is istanbul different from the rest of the country? it is not different but if you think about
12:37 pm
the election on the 31st of march, the election on the 31st of march, the akp, the government party, has lost most of the metropolitan cities. turkey‘s economy and politics are based on the urban spaces. first time since 198a the has lost control of central turkish cities, istanbul, ankara, is mere etc. istanbul is the last blow. this is significant to his authority. people voted against recep tayyip erdogan. i think for long term we are not expecting to have an election in the next four years. but since 2013, we have witnessed elections every year in turkey. it is unlikely to see the next election in the next fourth year. thank you very much. four years ago the nhs pledged to get more people with learning disabilities and autism moved out of secure hospitals in england
12:38 pm
and into more appropriate accommodation within the community. but the charity mencap says that the promise has not been met. jayne mccubbinjoined one mum who has to make a 360 mile round trip to visit her son. last week, we had a distressing phone call. "get me out, get me out, i just want to come home, "i want my mum, i want my mum." i can‘t take that call out of my head. adele‘s son eddie has learning disabilities. on christmas day, when he was 13, he was sectioned in a crisis. nine months. that‘s how long you were told? yeah. it is probably going to be about nine months. and it‘s six and a half years later. any messages for him? we love you, missing you lots, alfie and reddy. today we‘re joining adele on her once—a—month, 360—mile round trip to visit her son. are you going to come and wave bye—bye? previously we‘ve had to go
12:39 pm
600—mile round trips. we‘ve travelled over 26,000 miles within the uk. that‘s crazy. in 2015, nhs england promised people with learning disabilities homes, not hospitals, but numbers inside have increased slightly on last month to 2,250. 1 in a are more than 100km from home and they faced a record number of restrictive interventions like restraint and seclusion. over the years, eddie has had periods of months in seclusion. in some hospitals he‘s had time when he‘s not even seen outside for months. this is the lane where we‘ll have to stop filming. we don‘t have permission to film inside. an hour and a half later, adele
12:40 pm
is out from an environment she says will hinder, not help, eddie‘s chances for following her home anytime soon. you can hear alarms going, you hear door slamming, phones ringing, bleepers. you can hear really distressed people. i‘m driving home in a minute, he‘s not. he‘s got a stay in that environment. i struggled for an hour. he‘s desperate to come home. this is an exhausting 10—hour round trip for adele. right, we‘re nearly back, but i just want to show you this place first. this... this is eddie‘s house. just over a year ago, a house and a care team was found for eddie so he could move back to his own community. it‘s exactly as it was... but being so far away, there was no smooth transition into new surrounds. eddie was back in hospital within three weeks. for him to be back in his home with the right care and support would be cheaper. even if it was more expensive, he should still be entitled to it because it‘s a human right not to be locked away. local commissioners told us they‘re still working on a new specialist care package.
12:41 pm
you shouldn‘t be locked away for a disability. nhs england say they‘re invested £75 million to improve support in the community and numbers of people travelling for car are down but the reality for some like eddie is the door out of hospital is a revolving one. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. breaking news about newcastle manager rafael bonito is. we are hearing he is going to be leaving the club. —— rafa benitez. he will leave when his contract expires on the 30th of june. leave when his contract expires on the 30th ofjune. it is with disappointment we announce manager rafa benitez‘s will leave newcastle united upon expiry of his contract on the 30th ofjune, 2019. it will not be possible to reach an agreement with rafa and his representatives. his coating micro staff will also leave. we would like to thank rafer and his coaching team
12:42 pm
for their efforts over the last three years and there significant contribution to what has been collectively achieved. we would like to thank supporters, players and staff for their contribution. you may be aware he has been, there has been a lot of talk about him potentially being allured to china, talk of being offered £12 million a year to manage a team in china. no news at the moment as to where he is going. but he and his coaching team leaving newcastle united. more reaction as we get it. let‘s get more on facebook. it said of global affairs, sir nick clegg, has told the bbc the platform is in favour of new industry rules and regulation. speaking to the today programme he says he wants to create an oversight board with the power to make rulings as to whether item should be removed
12:43 pm
from the site. there was no evidence that russia affected the outcome of the referendum. we arejoined by we are joined by a guest now from munich. what you pick up on about what nick clegg has been saying about facebook and its influence on how it should potentially be constrained? thanks for being here. i think nick clegg is probably right that have the effect of this information might be overrated, because when you put it in relation to what is happening from normal parties and from media, it doesn‘t seem to be so much. but on the other hand we still don‘t know it. we are doing research on this and trying to find out if there has been any kind of effect. you have met him, i think to talk about the issues around facebook, is that right? yes, that
12:44 pm
is right. i met mark zuckerberg and nick clegg earlier this year. mark zuckerberg was presenting the idea that facebook should be more in favour of regulation in general.m has taken them a long time to reach this point. in the meantime there has been a lot of criticism of facebook for not doing enough, for not being proactive in terms of addressing content that others have said should absolutely be taken down. by putting out this message now saying it is up to government to regulate and that is what we want to see happen, does that basically give the company breathing space? well, at least this is part of the strategy. so you really have to see that facebook is on a very high pressure from public relations but also from politics. for example, in germany there was the new law made a
12:45 pm
year ago, the network enforcement law, and this law was really kind to force facebook to cooperate with the government in many issues. but on the other hand, i really think that facebook is doing quite a lot now to change parts of the company and of the end could be in favour of facebook and their business model because they have a lot of money, and they can use it to apply to new regulations. it gives them a better position in the market compared to smaller platforms and other companies. you mentioned action in germany to impose regulations. in this country the government is proposing a duty of care standard for platform companies to make sure that they do filter potentially harmful content. what has happened
12:46 pm
in germany, in germany every platform has to take down harmful content or in this case, illegal content or in this case, illegal content within 2a hours. content or in this case, illegal content within 24 hours. with countries acting independently though, how much of an impact does that have? does it need to be a global response to this? obviously these are companies that don‘t respect borders, effectively? this is very interesting, i think, because of course everyone said this will not work, it is the world wide web, a one nation state cannot make any regulations that make a difference. i think the network enforcement law and even gdp are in europe shows that companies like facebook now are changing their behaviour and it is working. of course, it is difficult. it is very
12:47 pm
fast and you have to change the law is that you make within a very short period of time. nevertheless, i think that these examples show that regulation still is possible. professor, thank you very much. thank you. the headlines on bbc news: tory leadership candidate jeremy hunt calls on opponent borisjohnson to "stop being a coward" and take part in a tv debate this week. meanwhile, mrjohnson insists he will deliver brexit by the end of october. former deputy prime ministerjohn prescott was admitted to hospital last friday, after suffering a stroke, his family has said in a statement. facebook is in favour of an oversight board to regulate the platform‘s content, says its head of global affairs, sir nick clegg. a care home in birmingham has
12:48 pm
built replica high street complete with a tea rooms and a post office for it‘s residents and visitors to use. robert harvey house created sensory street which also includes a host of animals to help stimulate memories and the senses. more than half of the residents at the home are living with dementia. catrin nye has been to visit. at this care home in birmingham they have built an entire sensory street. a shopping street complete with tea rooms, a sweet shop, a butcher shop, a phone box, garage and a post office. have you got your money to pay for it? no! and at the end of it, parrots, guinea pigs, ducks, a couple of hungry goats, all designed to stimulate the senses of the residents here. i went around this morning on my own. the first time i met the parrots. i sat down on the bench and just shouted, hello. i love it here. jam or cream, or both?
12:49 pm
both. the majority of residents that come to us with advanced dementia, their health is going to decline. but even if we have not got a glorious day like today, we will wrap them in a blanket, bring them out, take them into the tearoom, put the heating on and just try and make the heating on and just try and make the day special. the home also cares for people with mental health problems. chris s‘ wife jane was sectioned four years ago after a psychotic episode. she spent four yea rs psychotic episode. she spent four years in hospitals and mental health institutions before coming here. she doesn‘t remember any of it. sometimes jane didn‘t even recognise chris. since we -- she has been in here... she thought it was a miracle the way that jane has recovered. she loves the tea shop. when, on special occasions like valentine‘s day, they
12:50 pm
set it up as a valentine‘s day restau ra nt. set it up as a valentine‘s day restaurant. that really touched jane, you know. jane wasn't sure she was strong enough to talk to us on camera. but she has decided she can do it. it took four years to get me better. i came here with all the animals and love and devotion. it couldn't be better. you have done so well today, you have been walking so well today, you have been walking so well everywhere. i love it. hello? hello. aren't they beautiful?
12:51 pm
scientists from around the world are meeting in germany to improve ways of making money from carbon dioxide. they want to transform some of the co2 that‘s overheating the planet into useful products. our environment analyst roger harrabin reports. how can we store co2? well, let‘s start in the north of england, where they‘re making building blocks with c02. yes, building blocks. it sounds unlikely, but they mix the co2 with ash from a household waste incinerator. making the blocks involves an awesome chemical process. watch this. that is incinerator ash mixed with water. this is carbon dioxide. here we go. shake it all about. the co2 has been completely absorbed and is turned into a solid. here‘s the chemistry
12:52 pm
on an industrial scale, two wastes making a useful product. here, we‘re taking carbon dioxide, we‘re treating the waste and making a limestone and there are other companies that are doing all manner of different things with carbon dioxide. in suffolk, these mounds of horse manure are being turned into co2 bubbles for drinks. the horse poo and straw mix comes here to these gigantic tanks. they‘re like large stomachs full of bacteria that gobble up the mix and produce two streams of gas, one of them is methane. that goes to heat peoples‘ homes and help cook peoples‘ dinners. the other stream of gas is carbon dioxide, pure carbon dioxide, and they‘re selling that. bizarrely, it‘s being bought by pubs to put the fizz into lager and lemonade. you can‘t taste it, of course. near swindon, they‘re making fertiliser with c02. the first ingredient is this fibrous stuff, it‘s left over after you‘ve put cow dung into a biogas digester,
12:53 pm
like the one we just saw. this stuff is low in nutrients, little use for crop fertiliser, so the firm adds a liquid waste from the fertiliser industry, along with nutrients and, crucially, co2. here‘s what you get — little pellets of top—class fertiliser. what‘s most satisfying for us is to take a material like carbon dioxide, which is fundamentally useless, as far as most people are concerned, and positively harmful, and then transform that into something that is beneficial. these technologies won‘t solve climate change but they will help, a bit. roger harrabin, bbc news. the pyramid stage at glastonbury is one of the most instantly recognisable festival stages in the world hosting crowds of up to 100,000 people. it‘s been 15 years since former oasis frontman liam gallagher stepped foot on it, but on saturday that will all change. with his second solo album on the way, he took a break from
