imposed by the us on the iranians, a standstill phase while he negotiated the free trade agreement, which have stripped iran of many of but he is not interested in paying its oil exports,, which have stripped iran of many of its oil exports, , and which have stripped iran of many of its oil exports,, and what we had £39 billion to the eu. he said that last night were sanctions which were is at the top end of their particularly targeted at the supreme leader, and also at eight commanders expectations and there would have to of the revolutionary guard. the be created ambiguity over what was message from the us was to try to paid, which begs the question, why punish the iranians for what the on earth would the eu except that sort of deal? —— accept that sort of americans see as the iranian aggression that has taken place in the strait of hormuz here in the deal? here is his answer. last six weeks. in the last couple we will be working with our friends of hours, president rouhani, speaking to health care officials in and partners to make sure we have an comments that were broadcast live on outcome that is manifestly in the interests of people, of businesses, communities on both tv in iran, saying that donald trump sides of the had lost his mind. he said that the channel. white house was mentally disabled, in his view, and the message being 0r no deal, he says that that is not that because these new sanctions have targeted key regime figures in where he believes we will end up. but he concedes that if that is the outcome, then he will have no way of iran, and also the expectation that a foreign minister will also be stopping the eu from imposing tariffs if that is what they chose sanctioned later this week, they have closed the door permanently on

way through without being seen. the cottage because it was in fact the f—35 is still suffering from a host of technical glitches. five homes which had to be stripped the defence secretary out to become one single residence, came to cyprus to assess the progress. and those officials say that whenever the sussexes wanted it comes amid rising features in their cottage which went tensions in the gulf. beyond the basic level of comfort, is this a warning? they paid for them themselves. everything is continually under review. this deployment, for example, 0n the broader question of royal is part of one that was finance, the figures show that what is known as the sovereign grant preplanned. for 2018—19 amounted we have moved more assets in. to £82.2 million. it is not in response to what iran has been doing. that is the overall but clearly, we are cost of the monarchy, positioned in the minus things like security. area. of that, very nearly £33 million and we will take action if we think was spent on the refurbishment that is the most appropriate of buckingham palace, course. the infrastructure of which is said for now, the focus is to be in urgent need of repair. 00:11:43,704 --> 2147483051:42:36,567 the figures give an insight 2147483051:42:36,567 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 into royal transport costs. defeating islamic state. six f—35s will continue flying missions over iraq and syria until the end of the month. combat ready, if not yet battle proven. jonathan beale, bbc news. the supermodel naomi campbell has said that while diversity

in the fashion industry has improved, it is still a "big deal" to see a woman of colour on a magazine cover. she said it was ‘amazing‘ to see black and asian women on the catwalk and in magazines, but it was still unusual to see more than one at a time. she was speaking in an interview with newsnight‘s emily maitlis. its improved absolutely, i can‘t say it hasn‘t. i do think that there is a lwa ys it hasn‘t. i do think that there is always more room for improvement. you always have to want to improve. but now we hope that people don‘t think it‘s in for a trend, like clothes are in and out for a season. that‘s not going to happen. the met office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain across much of england and wales. flash floods caused chaos in parts of scotland yesterday, with edinburgh and stirling the worst affected. in mainland europe, however, authorities are urging people to stay indoors

as a week—long heatwave begins. john mcmanus reports. it wasn‘t just the prices that were dropping at the supermarket in stirling yesterday evening. a furious thunderstorm outside was the signal for part of the roof to give way under the sheer weight of rainwater. customerjames charity filmed these images on his phone. within a few minutes, people started to get more panicked because the rain started to come through the ceiling and it literally looked like it was raining in the aisles, coming through the light fittings, coming through the ceiling tiles. and then people really started to get scared when the roof started collapsing in, several tiles at once all came in, especially over the fruit and veg and sort of fresh produce aisle. people started going towards the door. meanwhile, in edinburgh, torrential rain trapped some drivers and even caught the odd politician by surprise. believe it or not, we have just passed the longest day of summer and this is the water flooding in to our office on stjohn's road in corstorphine. you couldn't make it up, could you? scotland will see a respite from the rain today,

but forecasters say the risk of flash flooding has now moved to eastern england and the midlands. and later in the week, the mercury is set to soar. that is because the saharan heatwave gripping mainland europe will cross the channel. already the french authorities have warned citizens to beware of heatstroke and dehydration. 15,000 people died in a heatwave in 2003. with temperatures predicted to pass a0 degrees, paris has installed temporary fountains and mist machines, and opened up air—conditioned buildings. even national school exams have been postponed. countries right across europe, including belgium and germany, are on alert. this week, temperature records could be broken. as we heard there, parts of europe are bracing for that heatwave to get even more intense. 0ur correspondent hugh schofield is in paris.

there has been a lot of warnings and people are bracing for a really terrific temperatures tomorrow, thursday, friday. i have to say, so far today, it is simply a glorious morning. ijust cycled in from home and there was a bit of a breeze. the sun is certainly blazing down, but it is farfrom sun is certainly blazing down, but it is far from being sun is certainly blazing down, but it is farfrom being oppressive. that may change, but for now, the people in paris are going about their business pretty much as normal. exams have been rearranged, exams that everyone who was 1a and 15 in france has to take midway through their secondary school career. they have been delayed till next week because of fears that at the end of this week, when they would have taken place, we are going to see really soaring temperatures. in all of this, there is an element i think of supreme precaution, as you heard in the package, there was the heatwave of 2003, which did kill an awful lot of people, but so far, there is no comparison with that. that lasted an awfully long time and

it became a news story after the first or second week, when just didn‘t seem to stop. a rescue dog who has helped save dozens of lives in disaster zones across central and south america, has been retired after nine years of service. frida the golden lab became famous for searching for survivors while wearing protective goggles and booties. having taken part in more than 50 rescue operations, in places like haiti and guatelmala, she is credited with finding 12 people alive and recovering more than a0 bodies. now, it‘s time for a look at the weather. that heatwave across europe is going to ta ke that heatwave across europe is going to take hold. temperatures in southern france could be up to 45 celsius as we go through the end of the week. dangerous heat that is across europe. for us, heavy rain around at the moment causing flash flooding across eastern areas of england this morning, and it was scotla nd england this morning, and it was scotland yesterday that so that flash flooding. for scotland and

northern ireland, a much drier day in prospect. some bright skies. showers continuing particularly in northern england at the north—east in the afternoon. sunny spells in the south, where temperatures will get up to 26 celsius. a little cooler and fresher along north sea coasts. we keep cloud tonight, misty and murky conditions into wednesday morning. another uncomfortable night for sleeping because of heat and humidity. temperatures of 13—16dc. 0n humidity. temperatures of 13—16dc. on wednesday, more clout, which will add to the muggy field to things. something bright coming through across scotland and northern ireland into the afternoon, temperatures down a bit compared today, but still a warm and muggy day to come.

hello, this is bbc newsroom live with joanna gosling. the headlines... hillsborough match commander david duckenfield will face

a retrial over the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. their families welcome the decision. i was just delighted, absolutely delighted. it is one of the better news days we have had over the yea rs. borisjohnson defends his brexit plan and insists he can get a deal with the eu by the 31st 0ctober. renovating prince harry and meghan‘s new home has cost taxpayers nearly £2.5 million, royal accounts reveal the parents of a teenager who died from an allergic reaction to sesame seeds in a baguette say they‘re delighted that a new labelling law will be introduced. flash floods hit parts of scotland and the east of england as temperatures begin to rise across the uk. also coming up.... cyber—related sex crimes against children have doubled in the space of just four years. we‘ll be speaking to the nspcc in a few minutes‘ time.

now let‘s catch up with the spot with damien. hello. england won the toss and decided to field in what is a critical game against australia in the cricket world cup. the build—up to the game has been nominated about how australia‘s steve smith and david won it would be treated by the lord‘s crowd. joe wilson is at lord‘s crowd. joe wilson is at lord‘s for us. david browning is opening the batting. what kind of reception did he get? i asked eoin morgan about this yesterday, i asked if he would instruct or guide these are parties about how to treat the australians was to be said, no, it is their decision. when david weiner was introduced to the crowd, as he walked out, there was a discernible boo from the crowd. there was nothing raucous, this is lord‘s, and let‘s be honest, david warner is used to playing the role of villain.

it does not seem to be affecting him too much at the moment. how have the england bowler started? these are bowler friendly conditions, the sky behind me is a kind of grey, blue mix, england would have hoped for wickets when they won the toss. there have been lots of near misses from england‘s point of view. there have been a few edges, one a drop from james vince. at the bottom line is the opening batsman of australia toughing it out. lots of rapid scoring rate but they have progressed beyond 78 now without the loss of a wicket so far, so without the loss of a wicket so far, so thus far it has been their game and their morning. thank you, joe. you can follow the match on five live sports extra, keep up—to—date via the bbc sports website and app. former newcastle

midfielder says losing rafa benitez has been coming along and the club has been coming along and the club has lost a world—class manager. the news hasn‘t been well received by supporters who have been protesting over mike ashley pass my continued ownership of newcastle. we understand the disappointment and frustration and anger. of course we have let go a real renowned world —class have let go a real renowned world—class manager, someone who could attract the best players if we ever got to that level in terms of the budget. it also that he kept the clu b the budget. it also that he kept the club in the league. he has been coming, it is not a shock to many people fuzzed up when you get this far down the line in contract negotiations with someone like rafa benitez and the position he is in football, you know it is going to end the way it has. sweden have beaten canada one nil to set up a women‘s world cup quarterfinal against germany. the deadlock game was broken with

the first chart on target in ten minutes. canada had a chance to equalise, but janina becky minutes. canada had a chance to equalise, butjanina becky couldn‘t find a way to school. that is the smartphone now. thank you very much. we live in an "increasingly divided society" — that‘s the conclusion of a report that says top jobs in the uk are still dominated by people who went to private schools and oxford or cambridge university. the sutton trust and social mobility commission analysed the educational background of 5000 people in top professions. it found that the 7% who attended private schools and the 1 per cent who graduated from oxford and cambridge still dominated. with me now is steven cooper, a commissioner from the social mobility commission. you are part of it because i know you feel very passionate about it because of your own background which we will come under. festival, the overview of what has come out in the study. we are increasingly divided

between those who went, the people that went to private school are still dominating. why‘s that? there is an imbalance, 7% of the uk population go to a fee—paying education, yet they occu py fee—paying education, yet they occupy nearly 40% of top jobs across number of professions, increasingly so number of professions, increasingly so if you are male versus a female. they are necessarily representative ofa they are necessarily representative of a broader society. 0ne of a broader society. one of the things that caught my eye is pop making it into the list in the proportion of pop stars that are privately educated. 20%, which ranks higher than the university high chancellors. what is the story behind a statistic like that? it is to do with the social confidence that you get through fee—paying schools, social confidence, articulacy, it is opportunity, and it is missing out on talent, and they have the potential. that is what social

mobility is all about and the commission is trying to unlock those opportunities. you are part of the commission because you are passionate about it because you are passionate about it because of your own background. explain a bit about your background. i went to a state school and had a very good education there and a happy education for us to buy left at 16 with nine or ten gcses. there wasn‘t much conversation on what i should do next from a schooling point of view, from a home a point of view for sub university was not really a n of view for sub university was not really an opportunity, so ijoined a backley is as a cashier. they put me onto a programme and i went to night school and got a degree, backless paid for it, and through time i progressed into the senior positions in ba rclays over progressed into the senior positions in barclays over time. and i was given meant hiring, they gave me an opportunity to do something, otherwise i would not have had that.

you got sip along the way so you are lucky in that people were looking to help you and the skills they were offering, they recognised it, and it was a mutual thing. now there is a lot more focus on apprenticeships and the availability of them. you kind of created your own, but now does that give greater opportunities for more social mobility? i think it can be a wonderful way of creating social mobility of us in my previous world, i put 2000 people and apprenticeship. but it is how the employer and the employee treat those opportunities. there has to be a real opportunity and career progression, and in my experience they tend to thrive to thrive very well, but it is also the support structure you put around them as well as opportunities. the confidence that you mentioned, to do with pop stars, going into environments where they are

dominated often by looking at the list, senior temperatures, that is a small proportion of the population, but 65% in that field privately educated. a senior and forces, 49%, news colonists, 45%. when you are going into an environment where there is that different backgrounds and levels of confidence, how the people of a combat? what would your tips be on someone who is trying to break into a different well? that can be tough and that is where mentorship plays a real rail. there are some charities that i work with today who provide the opportunity for people in the background i came from to spend time in an environment thatis from to spend time in an environment that is not judgmental, from to spend time in an environment that is notjudgmental, with people who are occupying those places in certain schools to get to know each other outside. they can learn from each other, their contextual experiences are helpful to each other, it breaks down some of the barriers, creates the confidence that people can thrive.

what with the measure of success be for you when these statistics come out? what would you like to see? 0bviously, out? what would you like to see? obviously, in an ideal world, what would you like to see? it is obvious what the ultimate goal is, but it will be a slow period of change. it is, and this has been measured forup to it is, and this has been measured for up to five years, and there have been some improvements, but not much. i would like to focus on the inputs, what would make the difference and it is about creating the opportunities, moving some of the opportunities, moving some of the financial barriers that might be for example longer paid internships for example longer paid internships for people, it might be thinking ha rd for people, it might be thinking hard about contextual capabilities and viewpoints as opposed to academic qualifications when employers and universities are interviewing people. but is the experience of the applicant and what we re experience of the applicant and what were they doing in certain situations that is just as powerful as an academic qualification. that is still pushing to get the experience, it can still be a help

in an environment where there is a great as a part mechanism rather than a background where there was not a bad side of expectation about what the next step might be and there is not necessarily the understanding around what would be done to support someone to go into that. and that is where our society has a role to play, employers, education, around creating that environment where there are those conversations and the creative confidence, mentorship is such a key part, it is important. really good to talk to you. thank you very much for coming in. the nspcc is calling on the government to ramp up online safety for children after a steep rise in cyber—related sex crimes against minors. police forces in the uk now record an average of 22 offences per day — that‘s double the number recorded four years ago. the crimes include online grooming, sexual communication with a child, and rape. of child safety 0nline. let‘s speak now to andy burrows,

the associate head of child safety 0nlineat the nspcc. tell us your reaction to this. he‘s as shocking statistics we are releasing today, more than 8000 offences in england, wales and northern ireland last year where offences have been recorded against children using technology. that is the equivalent of an offence every hour, and what that underlines is to some extent what we already knew which is the scale and complexity of the online threat is in meg increasing but it shows the urgency ofa increasing but it shows the urgency of a scene government take action first up we have seen them commit to introduce regulation of social media sites with a legally enforceable duty of care, so there are platforms that have to act in the best interest of children. we are calling today on the prime minister to ensure that is delivered as quickly as possible and the government holds its nerve in the face of what will be some intense industry lobbying.

and kids need to be aware and savvy, as do parents. how much is improving in that regard? the emphasis has been on making sure children and parents learn how to keep themselves safe. and that is hugely important. the missing part of this equation really has been about making sure that industry steps up and delivers to its response but it is because when we think about social networks, it is the case that the better social networks really have not done enough and the worst really have sat on their hands when it comes to keeping children safe. all of us as parents, as professionals have a responsibility to make sure that children know how to take the practical steps to keep themselves safe. that is having high privacy settings on social media accounts, knowing how to make every part, but the reason we need to see the government to step in and see industry take action and is the

regulation is to make sure we see these sites safe by design. it is hard to imagine how they can be completely safe by design when it is so easy for anybody to go online and set up a fake profile, give a fa ke and set up a fake profile, give a fake age, because a lot of the time children are on sites that technically, they are not even supposed to be on. 0ne supposed to be on. one of the big challenges is that social networks enable groomers to be able to contact large numbers of children and to do so very easily. i think it is now the fishing e—mails that we get, the intention to his contact large numbers of children with the intention a small number will respond. those children can then be migrated under encrypted sites. but we know there are very basic steps that platforms could ta ke to basic steps that platforms could take to be able to detect suspicious activity first up summer making a really disproportionately high numbers of friend requests to young

children? are they being rejected? is there obvious no geographic or familial pattern behind them? that isa familial pattern behind them? that is a very simple, unobtrusive tap that social networks could take but they failed by and large to take a really basic steps like that will go a long way to protecting children from grooming and and the wide risk of sexual abuse. that is why we have reached the point where regulation is important, we don‘t think the nspcc -- at the nspcc that the platforms can get it right by themselves. that makes a lot of sense, what you are talking about, spotting the criminals, and you said about a lot of the time the things will be rejected, but the few kids that are accepting them, it puts them in danger. what advice would you put out there about how to spot that and what children should be saying to their kids to make sure they do reject them? 0ur reject them? our advice is very basic. it is to

have regular conversations with your child. in the way that you sit down tonight and have dinner with your child and you ask how the day was, ask them what they are doing online, what websites they visit. that means you can help them take practical steps like knowing how to make are pa rt if steps like knowing how to make are part if something bad happens to them, but it is about making sure that your kids know that they can come to you, that you have a trusting relationship because what we see all too often is children who have been the victim of grooming are something else that makes them feel uncomfortable that has happened online and they are worried, scared, they are concerned about what will happen if they tell their parents or someone happen if they tell their parents or someone else, perhaps a teacher. if you have the regular conversation, you have the regular conversation, you start to break down the concerns and embarrassment children might have, talking about what they do online, their online lives. that is the most important step that parents can take. thank you very much. in a moment we‘ll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news...

hillsborough match commander david duckenfield will face a retrial over the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. borisjohnson defends his brexit plan and insists he can get a deal with the eu by the 31st 0ctober. royal accounts reveal renovating prince harry and meghan‘s windsor home has cost taxpayers nearly £2.5 million. southern water has been fined a record £126 million for spills of waste water from its sewage plants and for deliberately misreporting its performance. the regulator 0fwat described the findings as "shocking". the environment agency has now launched a criminal investigation at the same time, one of the uk‘s biggest waste firms has been find guilty of illegally sending waste abroad. biffa waste services sent nappies and food packaging abroad — claiming it was waste paper.

the export of unsorted household recycling waste from the uk to china has been banned since 2006. kerry foods is to close its site in burton—upon—trent in staffordshire with the loss of 900 jobs. unions say the closure comes after the firm lost a contract to supply ready meals to tesco. the factory was the town‘s largest employer. let‘s get more on the massive fine for southern water after the regulator found spills of waste water into the environment from its sewage plants. it‘s also accused of deliberately misreporting its performance. here is a regulator. the environment agency is actually taking, undergoing a criminal investigation into southern water and the impact it has had on the environment. but the company did not run their treatment works in the way that they were expected to and in addition they tried to cover up that poor performance.

and that is why we are levying such a high penalty on them today. it isa it is a record fine. 0ur reporter danni hewson has been looking into this for us. it is quite a significant find was that we had from the regulators of theissues that we had from the regulators of the issues that they are being fined far. it is a pretty terrible tale, isn‘t it? it is, effectively what they did is they failed to spend the money maintaining their sewage treatment facilities, which meant that waste water went out into the environment and polluted beaches and rivers. but the big problem that really compounded this issue is that these waste water lea ks compounded this issue is that these waste water leaks occurred over a seven—year period and instead of reporting them and taking the fine that would have come their way, instead, they manipulated the tests, they sent different water samples to they sent different water samples to the regulator so they would avoid being detected. they did that over a

seven—year period. the bus has been replaced and the current chief executive has said that there are no excuses for the failings that occurred. they say they bet they are making efforts to turn things around and they are spending a great deal of money i‘m doing that. it is an astonishing story, that cover—up lasted seven years. we now know a fine of £126 million. but what happens next? many think it is just us as customers that will end up just us as customers that will end up paying. customers will see a little bit of that money back. most of the final go to the 123 million pounder, they will get about six to £1 each. they will get about six to £1 each. they will be paid to them over a five year period. not a great deal of cash at all. the big news of cars is they will now be an investigation by they will now be an investigation by the environment agency into exactly what happened. we are not sure yet whether it is individuals will be investigated or the company itself. we know that that is at the very

early stages. there will also be questions about how this could have gone on for so long and exactly how effective the regulator was at detecting this and dealing with it. thank you. it is good to see you. in other business stories... we‘ve been following shares in home retailer carpetright — jumped 19% after it reported a narrowing of losses last year. it‘s been a roller—coaster ride for carpetright investors. last year, shares traded as low as 9p each — today they‘re around 40p. the firm has been refurbishing stores and cutting costs. nissan shareholders have approved a new board structure despite strains in its tie—up with france‘s renault. it was the first annual general meeting since former chairman carlos ghosn was arrested last year on allegations of financial misconduct. those were allegations he denied.

britain‘s institute for fiscal studies says that borisjohnson‘s tax plans would cost billions and mainly benefit the most well—off. the independent thinktank has been looking at the plans of the frontrunner to be the next prime minister. his rivaljeremy hunt has accused mrjohnson of avoiding detailed scrutiny over his proposals. that‘s all the business news. more from us later on. we have got a hoot of a story coming up. that is a good one. staff at an owl sanctuary say they got the shock of their lives when an owl who they‘ve looked after for 23 years and thought was male suddenly laid an egg. kaln is a eurasian eagle owl and arrived at the barn owl centre in gloucester at just 17 days old. she‘d never laid an egg before and because of her size, they‘d always thought kaln was male. but she‘s now laid four eggs. joining me now is vincejones, from the barn owl centre. hello. thank you forjoining us. that is her communicating, because i

guess she responds to hello? she does! that is brilliant. hello. we could do that all morning. tell us about her, why did you think she was about her, why did you think she was a boy? for 23 years, the indication, body weight, everything about this owl and habits and when you are working with an owl day in day out, activities, very active owl, not one that we breed from, everything indicates mail. and then out of the blue, and egg. and actually far more eggs now, is it? we went to the vet yesterday to get a complete health check. we thought there were underlying problems in

relation to kaln, he has never been ill. when she went downhill, huge concerns, because kaln has a huge following, from photographers to children to a wide aspect of the community. we were concerned for his health. the last thing we expected was an egg. mad. you are still calling kaln he. maybe that is why she is working. she knows she is a girland you she is working. she knows she is a girl and you thought she was a bloke. she was described as a hormonal mail owl. what does that mean? all i was, if you are working closely with them, they will always going to breeding condition if you are working that close to them and they think that humans the keepers a mate. kaln shows the signals of a

male bird, not a female bird. and so he gets up to all types of antics of what a meal would do, so the last thing you expect is an egg. so that it took us by complete surprise. crazy. i don‘t know if she will come back. i hope she will. so you have been thinking she was a male, and suddenly she ballooned. but the expression on her face as well, which we put on social media when she laid the egg, you should have seen our faces at the same time. it wasjust have seen our faces at the same time. it was just complete shark all round. but turner, who lives next, who is the kind of brother but now turner has got a sister now has been

staring at where the eggs have been laid and he turns in a shark. even today, he is still turning into that area. what on earth happened? do you think she will breed? sadly, we don‘t breed birds here, so it will be interesting in what sex the santry it will be interesting in what sex the sa ntry birds it will be interesting in what sex the santry birds and is not we are about. we pick up beds from the pet trade because there is too much captive breeding going on. we are about rehabilitation and getting captive bred birds back to a working state because sadly 46 birds, 26 came from abuse cases and we deal with trauma and the aim is to get the birds feeling confident and back up the birds feeling confident and back up in themselves, having a better life. so the sex of the birds is more for breeding, more of the

century. and for our entertainment because it turns out to be a very good story. the important thing is, iam turns out to be a very good story. the important thing is, i am now turns out to be a very good story. the important thing is, iam now an expert on eggs. i have been working with wildlife for years and running organisations for 23, 24 years, and we normally... as a breeder, we would expect... it is not something we would believe, there is no purpose for that. we are out of time, but she has a surprise to you. notjust us! it is the fan club as well. kaln is now a she. thank you so much. now it‘s time for a look at the weather. we have got a lot of rainfall at the moment across england and wales.

some flash flooding yesterday across scotland, across eastern areas today. that is the latest image, beneath the cloud there is pulses of rain, especially because the east of wales, the west midlands. it is moving north and east words, it will linger ran into this afternoon. lots of cloud out there at the moment and some pretty warm and humid conditions through this afternoon. you can see from the forecast, you can see the rain continuing in the north—east, elsewhere becoming drier, some sunny spells in the far south where temperatures will get up to 22 to 26 degrees. fresh along the north sea coasts, lots of cloud, dry light of the scotland and northern ireland and temperatures around about the mid to high teens. through tonight, keeping lots of cloud, that comes off the north sea, quite misty conditions, particularly around eastern areas. dry for most of us but another uncomfortable night for many. the temperatures no lower than

about 13 to 16 celsius. it means when state starts off rather muggy, warm note again. lots of clouds that many parts of the uk but you will see across scotland and northern ireland there will be brighter developments, sunny spells. there could be some sunny spells are developing elsewhere. some showers around the southwest. the most it is dry, temperatures getting up to the low 20s for many. again, a bit cooler around the north sea coasts. thursday, this area of low pressure is coming in from the atlantic, brings some drier air. as things will be set to get a bit sunnier throughout wednesday, thursday. this is thursday. not much happening, the north—easterly wind bringing some low cloud around the coastal parts. 0therwise, lots of sunshine on thursday and another warm and muggy day. the temperatures will rise up to 25 degrees in central parts of

scotla nd to 25 degrees in central parts of scotland was up the house temperature is likely to be around western areas, a bit fresher again towards the east. as we get to the end of that week, temperatures could reach 31 degrees in the south—east. there is a widespread heat wave going on across europe, temperatures up going on across europe, temperatures up to 45 degrees in southern france about friday. that could be record—breaking, all—time record there is 45 degrees. it is all from me. bye—bye. you‘re watching bbc newsroom live — these are today‘s main stories: borisjohnson says he can catagorically rule out a brexit extension — saying the october 31st deadline is ‘do or die‘. hillsborough match commander david duckenfield will face a retrial over the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. families welcome the decision. i was just delighted, absolutely delighted. it‘s one of the better news days we‘ve had after all the bad news over the years.

renovating prince harry and meghan‘s new home has cost taxpayers nearly two and a half million pounds, royal accounts reveal. the parents of a teenager who died from an allergic reaction to sesame seeds in a baguette say they‘re delighted that a new labelling law will be introduced. the sex scandal rocking south korea‘s gangnam, tainting the wholesome image of the country‘s pop industry. australia‘s david warner receives a hostile reception as he continues his return from a ban for ball—tampering at the world cup against england. good afternoon. welcome to bbc newsroom live. i‘m joanna gosling. borisjohnson has boris johnson has been borisjohnson has been talking more

about his brexit plans in a series of interviews. he gave his most unequivocal pledge so far that he will take britain out of the eu by the 31st of october, telling talk radio that date is do or die. it follows a n radio that date is do or die. it follows an interview with the bbc input to let —— in which he said he would ditch parts of theresa may‘s deal he thought were dead, in his words, and key parts he thought were serviceable. let‘s take a look at some of the key statements he has made in his campaign. he said he would seek a free trade agreement, implement a period of time to agree a solution to the irish border, and create a new law to guarantee the rights of eu citizens in the uk. 0n theissue rights of eu citizens in the uk. 0n the issue of the irish border, he said there were, in his words, abundant technical fixes, and trusted trader schemes could be

used. he said there was no magic bullet. he said there was an absolute pledge to leave the eu by the deadline of the 31st of october. he said he did not believe the uk will leave without a deal and that it would take cooperation with the eu. norman smith has been listening to this morning‘s interviews. a lot of criticism for his nonappearance is. tell us more about where he is today and what he has been saying. isa today and what he has been saying. is a definite change of tack from tea m is a definite change of tack from teamjohnson. is a definite change of tack from team johnson. they are going out and about to do interviews. he has some events this afternoon and in the wa ke events this afternoon and in the wake of the criticism he was facing for hiding away in a whole, he has come out and decided to try and get on the front foot, not just come out and decided to try and get on the front foot, notjust on brexit but on a whole range of issues. we had a huge long list, a sort of spending spree by mrjohnson this morning, promising more cash for the police, for schools, for social care, for roads, major

infrastructure projects, for tax cuts, for lower paid taxpayers, so a big spending splurge and not entirely clear where this cash is coming from. and on brexit, we have had i think probably his firmest commitment so far that he will take us commitment so far that he will take us out if he becomes prime minister on the 31st of october, regardless of circumstances, saying, we will leave, come what may, do or die. in terms of the terms under which we leave, a good deal of controversy about his proposals because there aren‘t any, really. about his proposals because there aren‘tany, really. he about his proposals because there aren‘t any, really. he is talking about bringing more energy, conviction and panache to the negotiations in the hope that that might unlock the deadlock, because his strategy seems to involve just sort of gutting and for letting mrs may‘s withdrawal agreement and having a different agreement which is much more to our liking. so we would for example retain the

guarantees for eu citizens but we would ditch the backstop. that would be left to be sorted out later. similarly, we would have an implementation period where we wouldn‘t be paying £39 billion. mr johnson clearly believes that he has a force of personality to drive through that sort of deal. as for his opponent, jeremy hunt, this morning, he was asked what he thought about mrjohnson‘s approach the brexit. what do you think of mrjohnson‘s exit plan? that is why we want the debate, so he will tell us. careful of the puddles, guys. will he budge on the backstop? i think if you send the right person there, you have the best chance. how is your plan different from mrjohnson?, they sound similar? the plan may be similar, the person is not. see you

later, guys. no more details on that late—night row with his girlfriend, carrie symonds. mrjohnson giving no further clues as to whether that photograph of the couple in a sussex garden looking very lovey—dovey had been set up and staged. he refused to engage in any sort of discussion about that. elsewhere, we learned that in his spare time borisjohnson likes to make models of red buses and then painting passengers inside them. who knows what that‘s about? he‘s not really what their niece bought recently although he likes playing tennis. and that he is motivated by getting things done, and that he would absolutely like to get brexit done three years after the british public voted for it. norman, thank you very much. never knew he liked to make models of buses. you learn something new every

day. in an interview with the bbc‘s political editor laura kuenssberg mrjohnson admitted he would need eu cooperation to prevent both a hard border in ireland, and tariffs on british business if there were no deal with the eu nobody wants a hard border in northern ireland, and indeed, nobody believes that it will be necessary. if you want to be prime minister, you have to tell people how you would do it. you can‘tjust wish it to be true. let me tell you, there are abundant technical fixes that can be introduced to make sure that you don‘t have to have checks at the border. you are -- you are right that there is no magic bullet, but there is a real positivity about getting it done. peter foster — who is the europe editor

for the daily telegraph — joins me now. what about that change he is talking about and a wealth of solutions to theseissues about and a wealth of solutions to these issues that have obviously dogged the negotiations for a long time? there are a wealth of solutions in the view of boris johnson and the alternative arrangement commission that believe that the united kingdom can still leave the eu single market and the customs union, so a quite different trading arrangement, and then use technology to deliver an invisible border. the northern ireland government, the eu commission and parts of whitehall are not convinced. if the negotiations don‘t produce the result that boris johnson believes they can produce, do we go back to a hardboard or have an all uk customers arrangement u nless an all uk customers arrangement unless and until those arrangements bear fruit? the problem unless and until those arrangements bearfruit? the problem is that the irish government and the european commission, as we have seen, simply don‘t agree.

commission, as we have seen, simply don't agree. listening to him, he says a lot has changed. you are saying effectively nothing has changed and he will find himself up against the same issues come the 3ist against the same issues come the 31st of october. well, i think what probably will have changed if he can convince everybody to go for a no deal will be this dynamic potentially with the irish, which is to go and see them and say, look, we need to compromise on this issue up the backstop because if we don‘t, the backstop because if we don‘t, the backstop because if we don‘t, the backstop was designed to avoid a no deal and yet it is going to create one, which would be com pletely create one, which would be completely self—defeating. whether or not the irish sort of cave into that pressure, whether or not that elicits some sort of concession, may bea time elicits some sort of concession, may be a time limit, out of the irish, i don‘t know. the irish prime minister has been very clear that he will not budge on the backstop. you may bet that so you know will trigger a general election and produce different maths in westminster. he may also bet that, to put it crudely, the eu stands very firmly behind him and does what it has

promised to do, which is not to negotiate anything with the brits, no kind of trade deal, none of this gap 24 business, unless and until the bill is paid, and mrjohnson is quibbling over that, the rights of eu citizens are guaranteed, and the irish border is fixed. it is pretty much, iam irish border is fixed. it is pretty much, i am going to turn kent into a lorry park until we agree a deal. how fruitful could talking to the irish prime minister be? with other eu nations, it is notjust a case of just one nation agreeing to something. we're not talking negotiating directly with leo varadkar. it‘s negotiating directly with leo va radkar. it‘s about negotiating directly with leo varadkar. it‘s about putting pressure on the irish government. 0ne pressure on the irish government. one of the things that has never been faced up to by the irish government is what happens in a no deal, and you are seeing big member

states of the eu like france and germany pressuring the irish to lay out ina germany pressuring the irish to lay out in a lot of detail what they would do in the event of no deal, because leo varadkar is clear that ireland‘s future is in the single market and it doesn‘t want to become a second—rate member of it. if that is the case in the british government is not going to agree to create an all ireland backstop in the event of a no deal, leo varadkar has tough choices to make. does he have a soft trade border in ireland or does he accept that there will need to be checks between ireland and the 26 members on the continent? those are tough choices, and i think you are seeing member states starting to push dublin a little to really put its money where its mouth is. on that issue, or that suggestion, about all the technical fixes, because it is something that keeps coming round, and there are those who say it is absolutely achievable and others who point out

again that there is no example of a border where that is the case, there isn‘t a hardboard around it is all done and technology?” isn‘t a hardboard around it is all done and technology? i think that is right. look at norway and sweden. there is a lot of talk about technology but it still requires checks. you can do your customs paperwork and that sort of stuff online, but if you have checks as to whether this port that lamb is compliant, you need checks. even if they are done in warehouses, that is still mending peaked caps going into warehouses to check the material. do they become targets in the border area? and if they do, do you have to protect the men going on with their customs forms? this is the problem, that you have in northern ireland not a benign environment. all those constituencies are sinn fein controlled and that level of border

and surveillance, people having trackers in their vans, will be considered very intrusive, and those nationalists who felt that that had gone away with the good friday agreement will feel that their rights are being curtailed. so that is deeply problematic, and it is why the irish government and the european union are so keen that the british government should live up to its commitment in 2017 that there should be no infrastructure on the border, and no related checks and controls, because once you get into that game, very quickly you start to see frictions and tensions returning to the border, and the irish don‘t wa nt to the border, and the irish don‘t want that. what chances do you give to any sort of renegotiation? i'm pretty pessimistic at the moment, honestly. i think the eu don‘t fully appreciate how much the politics has changed on this side of the country. to use a dreadful american phrase, they think they can perhaps put lipstick on the peg, tweak a few bits and pieces, give mrjohnson some warm words and nice letters, a

bit like they did theresa may, and that... i don‘t think that is necessarily the case. if mrjohnson was going to pull off that political hat—trick will need substantive concessions, and i‘m not sure either the irish government or the eu is in a frame of mind to do that. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. we will say goodbye to viewers on bbc two right now. a judge at preston crown court has ruled the police match commander on the day of the hillsborough disaster will face a retrial on a charge of manslaughter by gross negligence in relation to the deaths of 95 liverpool supporters in 1989. david duckenfield was tried earlier this year but a jury failed to reach a verdict. this fiona trott is at the court for us.

earlier we spoke tojohn trainor, whose brothers died at hillsborough, and he told us he was pleased with thejudge‘s decision and he told us he was pleased with the judge‘s decision today. it is one of the better news days after yea rs of bad it is one of the better news days after years of bad news. today we are on a high, tomorrow we could be ona are on a high, tomorrow we could be on a low. we are looking forward to 0ctober. on a low. we are looking forward to october. we can't broadcast details of how the decision was made by the judge but i can tell you why we‘re here today. you will remember that david duckenfield, match commander on the day of their hillsborough stadium disaster, face 95 counts of gross negligence manslaughter. there can be no prosecution for the 96 victor, tony bland, because he died later. there was a trial earlier this year and the jury failed to reach a verdict, and the prosecution

sought a retrial. that was opposed by david duckenfield‘s legal team, which is why we are here today. and thejudge today made which is why we are here today. and the judge today made the ruling that he will face a retrial. let me also remind you that the stadium safety officer that day faced charges of breaching health and safety regulations and was found guilty of euros and was fined £6,500 last month. david duckenfield himself was not present at this hearing. he was not present at this hearing. he was not required to attend. we have also found out today that this fresh trial is due to start in october. the headlines on bbc news: borisjohnson defends his brexit plan and insists he can get a deal with the eu by the 31st 0ctober. hillsborough match commander david duckenfield will face a retrial over the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. royal accounts reveal renovating prince harry

lords, and let‘s be honest, david warner is well used to playing the role of villain in world cricket. warner has just lost his wicket. australia‘s bats men are in control at the moment. they are 141—1. captain aaron finch is 76 not out. derby county football club say they have granted permission for chelsea to speak to frank lampard about their vacant managerial position at sta mford their vacant managerial position at stamford bridge. lampard is the favourite to take over from maurizio sari, who to a position atjuventus earlier this month. leicester tigers has put itself up for sale and is seeking a price of about £60 million. leicester is the most successful clu b million. leicester is the most successful club of the professional era, winning the premiership ten times. they have not won back the league title since 2013 and flirted

with relegation last season, finishing second from bottom. a forward from greece won the most valuable player award. that is all the sport for now. more for you at 1:30pm. fourteen flood alerts are still in place after heavy rain overnight. flash floods caused chaos in parts of scotland yesterday, with edinburgh and stirling the worst affected. in mainland europe, however, authorities are urging people to stay indoors as a week—long heatwave begins. john mcmanus reports. it wasn‘t just the prices that were dropping at this supermarket

in stirling yesterday evening. a furious thunderstorm outside was the signal for parts of the roof to give way under the sheer weight of rainwater. customerjames charity filmed these images on his phone. in a few minutes everyone started to get more panicked, because the rain started to come through the ceiling, and it literally looked like it was raining in the aisles, coming through the light fittings, coming through the ceiling tiles. and then people started to really get scared when the roof started collapsing in. several tiles came in at once over the fruit and veg and fresh fruit aisle. people started going towards the door. meanwhile, in edinburgh, torrential rain trapped some drivers, and even caught the odd politician by surprise. we have just passed the longest day of summer, and this is the water flooding into our office. you couldn't make it up, could you? scotland will see a respite from the rain today, but forecasters say the risk of flash—flooding has now moved to eastern england and the midlands, and later in the week, the mercury is set to soar. that is because the saharan heatwave

gripping mainland europe will cross the channel. already, the french authorities have warned citizens to beware of heatstroke and dehydration. 15,000 people died in a heatwave in 2003. with temperatures predicted to pass 40 degrees, paris has installed temporary fountains and mist machines and opened up air—conditioned buildings. even national school exams have been postponed. countries right across europe, including belgium and germany, are on alert. this week, temperature records could be broken. as we heard there, parts of europe are bracing for that heatwave to get even more intense — 0ur correspondent hugh schofield is in paris. we saw some of the measures being taken. what are they expecting?

we saw some of the measures being taken. what are they expecting7m paris today, it is very hot but not that kind of punishing, oppressive heat which i rememberfrom the that kind of punishing, oppressive heat which i remember from the 2003 heat which i remember from the 2003 heat wave of ill repute. that is when, asjohn was saying, thousands of people died because there wasn‘t proper preparation, mainly elderly people. that frames every subsequent reaction to a heat wave in france, because everyone is petrified about that happening again. there may be a slight tendency to exaggerate the apprehension, if you like, in the face of what is happening now. in paris, it certainly doesn‘t feel terrible. it is certainly very hot but not oppressive. we will see what happens in the next couple of days. they are predicting that it will get much hotter. the difference between then and now as well is that this is earlier in the year. normally the heatwave is in holiday time, july and august, but now it isjune and the schools are certainly still

functioning, and that makes it different. hence the postponement of these public exams. it is amazing these public exams. it is amazing the infrastructure they have put in, with mr machines —— machines to spray with mr machines —— machines to spray mist. most people will say they have not seen those in their neighbourhood. there is a huge pr campaign as part of this, which is kind of the point. most people won‘t have a fountain in their street, but they will have seen the government‘s reaction and all the warnings, announcements on radio and television, and they will take you, so television, and they will take you, so that is kind of the point. walking around paris today, you are not in any way getting a sense of a city in the grip of pre—heat wave panic. it doesn‘t feel oppressive

today and i would say it is quite a holiday mood, but people are much more aware than they used to be of the dangers of heatwave. elderly people know what to do, neighbours are being asked to look after their elderly neighbours, and at schools, hospital and old people‘s homes, there is much more awareness and preparedness for mott white happen. frankly, this does not look like being a long heatwave. the one in 2003 lasted for weeks and it wasn‘t a story until a week or two after it began. this is a story before it has started. thank you. the annual review of royal spending has revealed that refurbishing the new home of meghan and harry — the duke and duchess of sussex — cost the public nearly two and a half million pounds. the figures were published by buckingham palace. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell has the details. they chose windsor for their wedding, and when harry and meghan considered where they wanted to live, the focus once again was on this town, with its long association with royalty.

they moved from kensington palace in central london for a secluded residence known as frogmore cottage, hidden away close to windsor castle. what is revealed today is that it has cost £2.4 million of public money to turn this cottage into a home fit for the duke and duchess of sussex. the officials here at the palace who control royal spending say it cost £2.4 million to reconfigure the cottage because it was in fact five homes which had to be stripped out to become one single residence, and those officials say that whenever the sussexes wanted features in their cottage which went beyond the basic level of comfort, they paid for them themselves. 0n the broader question of royal finance, the figures show that what is known as the sovereign grant for 2018—19 amounted to £82.2 million. that is the overall cost of the monarchy, minus things like security. of that, very nearly £33 million was spent on the refurbishment of buckingham palace, the infrastructure of which is said to be in urgent need of repair. the figures give an insight

into royal transport costs. for example, the visit last year by the queen and the duchess of sussex to cheshire by royal train and charter aircraft costjust under £30,000, and the visit to the caribbean and cuba earlier this year by the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall cost more than £400,000. 0verall, officials say the year was a busy one for the royal family, the members of which, led by the queen, carried out more than 3,000 official engagements in the uk and overseas. nicholas witchell reporting there — i spoke to him about the spending review a little earlier on — and asked what the reaction has been like.

this is called a cottage but in fact it is five separate houses which have been returned to a single residence. it is a great 2 listed building, so they have had to take ca re over building, so they have had to take care over it, and there are standards that have to be adhered to when dealing with a listed building. buckingham palace it would be fair to say somewhat on the defensive over this, knowing that this was going to be rather tricky, because this is a very large sum to spend on one building. they have gone to the length of pointing out that there was no yoga studio installed in this house, because there had been reports that a yoga studio had been built in, but they say that is not correct. there was a floating floor installed in the kitchen because the original flooring installed in the kitchen because the originalflooring of the kitchen had to be covered over. they couldn‘t rip it up because it is a listed building. but yeah, you know, i think there is an acceptance and an acknowledgement within the palace

that this was a large sum of money, and there is still a little bit more, we understand, to be spent on the cottage, because this of course just applies to the 2018—19 expenditure. there is some external work still going on, but i‘m sure they‘ve got, for that money, a lovely home. let's hope. i'm sure they have. the carbon footprint is another thing — what is going on? that is because of the business travel by members of the royal family, foreign visits carried out, as buckingham palace emphasised, at the request of the foreign office. there were some long haul visits by the prince of wales, the duchess of cornwall and by prince william to the middle east. so the carbon footprint caused by foreign visits was up by 98% to 3000 948 tonnes of c02, but the actual carbon emissions caused by royal residences, because they got new boilers in, more

effective heating and that sort of thing, that was down by 22%. so they would say that they have very little control over the amount of travel that they are bound to do in the fulfilment of their role. they could do more schedule flights, though. would they do that? it is always an argument. i think it is quite difficult when, for example, the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall went to the caribbean and cuba, island hopping and going to different territories, but that is an interesting debate. the line taken by the palace is that the priorities are and efficiency, but i think it would be fair to say that older members of the family are somewhat more resistant to the idea of boarding scheduled flights than the younger members, who do take scheduled flights. but then again, when you have a trip, say, to the middle east, as prince william did last year, perhaps it for all sorts of reasons does make more sense to ta ke of reasons does make more sense to take a charter aircraft.

food businesses in england and northern ireland will soon have to list all the ingredients in pre—packaged meals, to help protect people with allergies. the change — which will come into force by 2021 — will be called natasha‘s law in memory of natasha ednan—laperouse, who died from an allergic reaction after eating a sandwich from pret a manger. daniela relph reports. it was the start of the summer holiday. 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse was on her way to the south of france, but on board the plane, she began to suffer a catastrophic allergic reaction. she died soon after. natasha had eaten a sandwich from pret a manger. the packaging did not say it included sesame seeds, the ingredient that caused the devastating reaction. since her death, herfamily have campaigned for a change to the law. speaking after her inquest, they spoke of their anguish. 0ur beloved daughter died in a tragedy that should never have happened, and we believe that this inquest has shown that she died

because of inadequate food labelling laws. it feels to us that, if pret a manger were following the law, then the law was playing russian roulette with our daughter‘s life. now, natasha‘s law will be introduced this summer, and will come into force in 2021, to give businesses time to make the changes. all pre—packaged food going directly to sale must have all its ingredients listed. natasha‘s parents have welcomed the legislation, describing it as a way to save others from the enduring agony they have suffered. they also say it is a fitting legacy for natasha‘s life. daniela relph, bbc news. as we heard, her parents campaigned for the new legislation. talking to the bbc, they explained why they think it is so important. six to 8% have a severe food

allergy, and 2% of adults, as the percentage grows, it is right for the environment that they live in, food environment, to modify its behaviour and shift and change with the times, and therefore listing the 14 main allergens and full ingredients makes logical sense. and thatis ingredients makes logical sense. and that is why we are celebrating today. now time for a book of the way there. —— now time for a look at the weather. it has been a very wet morning, we had thundery overnight rain across the south—east. that is moving northwards, it will fizzle out in situ across north wales into the north midlands. further south, we could see sunshine, that was back of some heavy and thundery showers and still will be humid here. quite dry with sunshine and cool down east coast as well. it will leave a legacy of cloud and mist and murk around. but

it should be a mostly dry night, some are clear spells across the north where temperatures will drop to single figures. still muggy in the south but not quite as muggy as it was last night. in three wednesday, lots of cloud around but generally dry with sunny spells. the best in scotland and northern ireland, afan best in scotland and northern ireland, a fan rather than good. cooler across the north and down the north sea coast. cooler generally but the best of they want will be in the south—west where we could make 22 or 23 degrees. that is your weather.

hello, this is bbc newsroom live with joanna gosling. the headlines... borisjohnson says he can catagorically rule out a brexit extension, saying the october 31 deadline is "do or die". hillsborough match commander david duckenfield will face a retrial over the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. families welcome the decision.

i was just delighted, absolutely delighted. it's one of the better news days we've had after all the bad news we've had over the years. renovating prince harry and meghan‘s new home has cost taxpayers nearly £2.5 million, royal accounts reveal. the parents of a teenager who died from an allergic reaction to sesame seeds in a baguette say they‘re delighted that a new labelling law will be introduced. we will learn the new leader of the conservative party on the 23rd july. they will of course be the new prime minister. it is between boris johnson and jeremy hunt. they are currently engaging in the whole process of hustings and the vote goes to the 160,000 tory party

members. the result will be announced on the 23rd july. the former labour prime minister, gordon brown, has said the union of the uk will "not be in safe hands" if borisjohnson becomes the new prime minister. mr brown said he feared the united kingdom is more likely to break apart now than at any point in the past 300 years because of extremism in the conservative party and the snp. the pro european told our correspondent, glenn campbell, that keeping the uk together was about retaining a number of unique values. it has been outward looking, tolerant, being respectful for diversity, and that is part of the multinational settlement that is the union and which needs to be maintained, preserved and upheld in face of prejudice and discrimination and in the face of the manufacturing of divisions by people like nigel farage and that is why boris johnson, because i think most people think the union is not safe in his hands and he will play fast and loose with the union for electoral

advantage. would you rather be in a brexit britain led by someone like boris johnson compared to the possibility of scotla nd johnson compared to the possibility of scotland becoming an independent country within the european union? iam fighting country within the european union? i am fighting for scotland to be in britain and in europe and i have not given up on the idea that we will stay in europe. i think it is very important to recognise that the battle is yet to be fat about what we are going to do, if we will leave, whether we believe, how we will leave, and a no—deal brexit will leave, and a no—deal brexit will be opposed by the more majority of the british people. this does not justify between scotland and the uk government as a fight between the british people and the uk government over what kind of future britain is going to have and i believe we can persuade the vast majority of the people to oppose the new deal brexit that boris johnson and people to oppose the new deal brexit that borisjohnson and nigel farage asa that borisjohnson and nigel farage as a parting. do you believe that parliament can block a no—deal brexit if that is what is going to happen? i think the most important thing is the people of britain tell the

government and parliament which is deadlocked that they do not want the risk of a 10% rise in food prices, of companies going under, a recession, are they further breakdown in northern ireland, of putting the union at risk of a no—deal brexit. that is not me saying they are the consequences, thatis saying they are the consequences, that is the cabinet secretary‘s paper to the government about the effects of the no—deal brexit would be. i will be campaigning over the next few months with as many people, andi next few months with as many people, and i believe brexit voters as well as remaining voters will oppose this, posing no—deal brexit as a form of economic self—harm, as against the economic interest of the country and i think there is still time to stop that happening and to sta b time to stop that happening and to stab at being enforced on the british people by a government that is now having apm elected by a small fraction of the public. —— having a prime minister. south korea‘s pop industry is a global phenomenon. in recent months, though, a massive sex scandal has tainted its largely wholesome image.

and it has triggered a far larger police investigation centred on the flashy night clubs in the korean capital, notably in the gangnam district. 0ur correspondent laura bicker has the story. but in recent months, this area has gained afar but in recent months, this area has gained a far more sinister reputation. the growing sex scandal began with claims that some of the biggest names in k—pop had drugged and raped women and shared videos of it. one of the megastars is one of several sub it is fighting a host of charges including procuring prostitutes and embezzling funds for his nightclub. but the wider investigation centres on a sexual abuse in some of the most glamorous clu bs. abuse in some of the most glamorous clubs. the bbc has learned that the

elite and powerful of the region we re elite and powerful of the region were requesting drugged or unconscious women. they were playing tens of thousands of dollars to be taken to a nearby room to be raped. the message from one client was, bring me zombies. this man worked for six months as a driver fights of the most well—known clubs. and they shed i saw a woman raped inside clu bs, shed i saw a woman raped inside clubs, being beaten and so on. and on other occasions he witnessed a sexual assault whilst being unconscious. there is no response from the body, the breathing was almost gone and the breathing was almost gone and the pupils were dilated. we have spoken to one woman who was having drinks with an asian businessman in a club. she said she blacked out and woke up in a hotel room. translation: he got on top of me and used both of his hands to block my mouth and started pressing down hard as if he is doing cpr. he

ke pt down hard as if he is doing cpr. he kept saying, relax, relax. i couldn't resist his power and i was in so much pain that i could die. so ijust gave in so much pain that i could die. so i just gave up in so much pain that i could die. so ijust gave up and laid there like a dead body. the man strenuously denies raping, sexually assaulting or physically attacking her. he also claims cctv footage backs up his account. the investigation continues. thousands of campaigners took part in protests after hearing claims police turned a blind eye to reports of sexual assault in exchange for bribes. the police chief has been fast to step down and officers are now trying to restart trust. translation: we will refocus our efforts on preventing sex crimes where women are drugged. we will put every effort into stopping incidents like this happening ever again. this has been documented in the fight for equality is in south korea

and believes the scandal as a turning pint. we believe we have power to change culture for women, rape culture and the other inequalities in korean society, we do have power to change them. having dragged these crimes out of the darkness, women in south korea say they are determined to fight for change and hold this society‘s most powerful to account. britain‘s new f—35 stealth fighter jets have taken part in their first operational missions joining the hunt for the remnants of the islamic state group. the aircraft have been involved in 14 reconnaissance flights over iraq and syria. our defence correspondent, jonathan beale reports from raf akrotiri in cyprus. britain‘s most advanced and most expensive fighterjet is now ready for combat. f—35s flying out of raf akrotiri in cyprus. they have now flung their first sorties over iraq and syria.

nearly five years after the raf first began its air campaign against islamic state. the f—35s have flown over a dozen missions over iraq and syria, hunting down the remnants of the group known as islamic state. but as yet they haven‘t fired or dropped any weapons in anger. instead the jets, each of which cost around £100 million, have been gathering intelligence. albeit against an enemy that has already lost its territory. the real test for this aircraft, designed for stealth, will be against a more sophisticated adversary with air defences. for example, a country like iran. let‘s say a certain state wanted to protect its borders. with this aircraft, because of the stealth qualities, you are able to find your way through without being seen. the f—35 is still suffering from a host of technical glitches. the defence secretary

came to cyprus to assess the progress. it comes amid rising tensions in the gulf. so is this a warning? everything is continually under review. this deployment, for example, is part of one that was preplanned. we have moved more assets in. it is not in response to what iran has been doing. but clearly, we are positioned in the area. and we will take action if we think that is the most appropriate course. for now, the focus is defeating islamic state. six f—35s will continue flying missions over iraq and syria until the end of the month. combat ready, if not yet battle proven. jonathan beale, bbc news. thejeremy the jeremy kyle thejeremy kyle show bosses have been put under scrutiny for using

lie detector test. the lack of knowledge was astonishing and irresponsible. the show was axed in may following the death of a participant. the show‘s therapist gave evidence to the committee this morning. iam morning. i am responsible for the guests and the presenter, the responsibility with the presenter lies with production. lam very production. i am very unclear production. lam very unclearas production. i am very unclear as to what our role as them. i imagined that he would be an integral part of the production team, hired as a professional to say, yes, no, you can do, no, you can't do. that is clearly not you role. that is my role, in the moment, i think it becomes passionate, i think it becomes opinionated and he will deliver in that way, and if people are uncomfortable with that, i think thatis are uncomfortable with that, i think that is a production issue.

an update on our headlines on bbc news... borisjohnson says he can catagorically rule out a brexit extension saying the october 31 deadline is "do or die". hillsborough match commander david duckenfield will face a retrial over the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. royal accounts reveal renovating prince harry and meghan‘s windsor home has cost taxpayers nearly £2.5 million. we live in an "increasingly divided society" — that‘s the conclusion of a report that says top jobs in the uk are still dominated by people who went to private schools and oxford or cambridge university. the sutton trust and social mobility commission analysed the educational background of 5000 people in top professions. it found that the 7% who attended private schools and the 1% who graduated from oxford and cambridge still dominated. earlier i spoke to steven cooper from the social mobility commission, who said

there was an inbalance in society. 7% of the uk population go to fee—paying education, yet they are nearly 40% of top jobs across a number of professions, and that is increasingly so if you are a male versus a female. there is an imbalance, they are not representative of a broader society and we are missing out on a pool of talent that can argue by those rules but have not been through fee—paying education. what i saw was pop stars making it into the list in the proportion of p0p into the list in the proportion of pop stars, 20%, which ranks higher than the proportion of university vice chancellors that were privately educated. what is going on? i think some of those are to do with the social confidence you get through fee—paying schools, social confidence, articulacy, opportunity, and it is missing out on talent. that is what social mobility is all about and what the commission is trying to do to unlock those

opportunities. and you are part of the commission because you are passionate about it because you are passionate about it because of your own background. explain a bit about your background. i went to a state school and had a good education and a happy education must buy left at 16 with nine or ten gcses is that there was not much conversation on what i should do next from a schooling point of view and a home point of view, university was not really an opportunity for me so was not really an opportunity for me soi was not really an opportunity for me so ijoined was not really an opportunity for me so i joined barclays was not really an opportunity for me so ijoined barclays at the time was not really an opportunity for me so i joined barclays at the time as a cashier. what they did was put me under the graduate programme as a non—graduate along with two art wrote three others and got a degree through night school pay through ba rclays. i through night school pay through barclays. i progressed to some of the most senior positions in ba rclays over the most senior positions in barclays over time and it was a combination of the organisation spotting talent and giving the talent opportunity and people on the way giving the opportunity, mentoring me, giving me an opportunity to do something otherwise i might not have had. you got is apart along the way, so you were lucky in that people were

looking to help you and they were recognising your skills and it was a mutual thing. now there is a lot more focus on apprenticeship and a lot more availability of apprenticeships, you kind of created your own. but is that now give greater opportunities for social mobility? they can be a wonderful way of creating social mobility was up in my previous world, i put 2000 people through apprenticeships. a realjob, real opportunities, real wages. but it is held by the employer and employee treating those opportunities, there has to be a real opportunity and career progression and in my experience, people tend to thrive very well, they move into managerial positions, but it is the support structure you put around them as well as the opportunity. staff at an owl sanctuary say they got the shock of their lives when an owl who they‘ve looked after for 23 years and thought

was male suddenly laid an egg. kaln is a eurasian eagle owl and arrived at the barn owl centre in gloucester at just 17 days old. she‘d never laid an egg before and because of her size, they‘d always thought khan was male. but she‘s now laid four eggs. earlier i spoke to vincejones, from the barn owl centre. that is her communicating. i gather she responds to hello? she does! that is brilliant. hello. we could do that all morning. tell us about her, why did you think she was a boy? for 23 years, but are longer, indication, body weight, everything about this owl and working habits and when you are working with an owl the 23 years, activities, everything, very active owl, not one

that we breed from. everything indicates male. out of the blue, and egg. and actually four eggs now, isn‘t it? he has been to the vet yesterday to get a health check because we will start there were underlying problems in relation to kaln, because he has never been ill. obviously when he went a bit downhill, huge concerns because kaln has a huge following from photographers to children to wider aspects of the community. we we re wider aspects of the community. we were concerned for his health. the last thing we expected was an egg. you are still calling kaln a male. that is maybe why she is squawking, she knows she is a girl and everyone

thought she was a bloke. she was described as a hormonal male owl. what does that mean? i was, if you work closely with them, they will go into breeding condition if you work closely with them. they think that humans and keepers are a mate. and kaln shows the signals of a male bird. and so they always got up to all sorts of antics of what a barclays would do. so the last thing you expect is an egg. that took us by complete surprise. crazy. so you have been thinking she was a male and suddenly she ballooned. but the expression on her face which

we put on social media when she laid the egg, you should have seen our faces at the same time. it was just com plete faces at the same time. it was just complete shock all round. but turner, who is, he lives next door, hit was the brother, but now turner has a sister now. he has been staring at the eggs and even turner is in shock. even today, he is still staring into the area where the eggs we re staring into the area where the eggs were wondering what happened. do you think she will breed? sadly, we don‘t breed here. the sa ntry sadly, we don‘t breed here. the santry birds —— are the santry birds are picked up from the pet trade because there is so much captive breeding going on. we are about

rehabilitation and getting captive bred birds back to a working state because we have 46 beds with 23 coming from abuse cases. we want to get them having a better life. the sex of the birds, that is martha breeders, not for sanctuaries. for more than a century, the 11 cities race has been part of dutch sporting folklore. ice skaters would travel along frozen waterways over a course that is nearly 200 kilometres long. it hasn‘t taken place since the late 90s, with some blaming global warming. now one competitor has decided to resurrect it, but in a slightly different form. tim allman explains. martin vanjust martin van just keeps going and going and going. this is some feat

of endurance. swimming through the canals, rivers and lakes of northern holland. but he did have plenty of support along the way. as well as the odd good luck kiss from his family. martin was already a celebrity, overcoming leukaemia to wina celebrity, overcoming leukaemia to win a gold medal at the 2008 beijing olympics. now he is raising money for charity the way he knows best. this is how the 11 cities race was run in 1963. ice skaters tearing through the countryside as fast as possible. but a warming climate meant ice—skating has now become swimming. as part of the tradition you have to collect a stamp from each town to qualify for a medal. a tradition maarten is keen to maintain. then, afterfive days

tradition maarten is keen to maintain. then, after five days and a lot of time in the water, he finally reached the finishing line. all the sweeter bearing in mind he had to bail out in his last attempt. translation: last year i suffered mostly, this year i had guided. it was very long and very special and beautiful. and fairly profitable. nearly 4 million euros raised for the fight against cancer. quite the achievement, quite a swimmer. that is a brilliant achievement. it is soon time for the one o‘clock news. now for a look at the weather. it has been a white stat across parts of england and wales, the overnight rain was heavy and thundering across the south—east and is moving northwards and fizzling out. there is high pressure building in from the north—west and that is

what is helping kill off the rain across england and wales. it will be fairly wet for some time this afternoon to north wales, midlands, north woods. the rain will be e—zine gradually. in the south, there will be sunshine that was back of heavy thundery showers. temperatures here reach 26, maybe 27 degrees with high humidity. temperature, it will be cooler further north, cooler across the north sea coast and what we have seen over the north sea coast and what we have seen over the last few days. through this evening and the first part of the night, it turns drier, although as the rain fizzles out it will leave a legacy of cloud, some mist and murk, but clear spells developing across the north of the country. temperatures, a bit cooler across the north of scotland, single —— single figure values here. it will not be as warm as the last couple of nights in the south. wednesday, high pressure will be building in from the north—west and we will see increasing amounts of sunshine, but cloud for the far

north of scotland into the northern isles. elsewhere, further south, variable cloud, not quite as warm as it has been, temperatures reaching may be 23 degrees and it will remain cool along north sea coasts. thursday, high pressure is dominating the country but we will have a fairly strong easterly wind across southern parts of england, particularly along the channel coast and into the south—west. it will be cooler and fresher along the north sea coast. there should be some good deal of sunshine around and lower humidity for me and it feels quite pleasa nt humidity for me and it feels quite pleasant for many. further west, maybe 25 degrees, bit cooler further east. having a look at europe, we have got the blistering heat wave developing across france into switzerland, and spain where it could be a record—breaking for the time of year. but we will be tapping into the keeps us again as we enter the week, said in the temperatures

into the low 30s across the south, but then it turns cooler on sunday.
