you're watching bbc newsroom live — it's 11 am and these are the main stories this morning: the bbc discovers that moors murderer ian brady was allowed to mix with vulnerable young prisoners for more than five years, even after one claimed that brady had had sex with him. what happened and what he did in prisons, i think, is not extraordinary. actually i think happens and has happened every day for years. a multi billion dollar aid package for migrant families detained after entering the us is partially approved — as a harrowing photo of a father and daughter, drowned in the rio grande, emerges. the two rivals for the conservative leadership continue to clash over whether the uk should comit to leaving the eu on october the 31st. temperature records are likely to be
11:01 am
broken across europe — as an early summer heatwave sweeps across the continent. san francisco becomes the first us city to ban sales of e—cigarettes until the health effects are clearer. oh, i'm so sorry. and a newborn baby is found alive inside a plastic bag left in woods in the us state of georgia. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. i'm joanna gosling. a bbc investigation has found that the moors murderer ian brady, who tortured, sexually assaulted and murdered five children between 1963 and 1965, was allowed to mix with vulnerable young prisoners for more than five
11:02 am
years during his lifelong sentence. it happened at wormwood scrubs prison in the 1970s and 1980s. newly released home office files reveal that even after one young prisoner alleged that brady had had sex with him, no action was taken for several months. sanchia berg has this exclusive report. ian brady was, for decades, one of britain's most notorious prisoners. with myra hindley, he'd tortured and murdered five children, buried their bodies on saddleworth moor. both were sentenced to life in prison. brady stayed in the highest category for security. yet while here, in wormwood scrubs, brady was allowed to live in the prison hospitalfor more than five years, mixing with vulnerable teenagers, boys sent from borstal with mental health problems. according to government files just released, he said he'd go on hunger strike if moved. he was supported by lord longford, campaigner for prison reform. then one young prisoner alleged
11:03 am
brady had sex with him. it is difficult to imagine how that would have happened actually because he was closely supervised. i mean, there were always two officers on duty but then brady was quite a cunning character. do you think it is quite shocking? yes, yeah, definitely. a few months after that, brady was moved. the files — held here at the national archives — show how, even from the early months in the prison hospital, ian brady displayed an unhealthy interest in adolescent inmates. over the years, concerns were raised, complaints made, but nothing was done. the authorities were worried that if ian brady complained and went on hunger strike, lord longford would step in again. the ministry ofjustice said there have been huge changes in the last a0 years, and that allegations of sexual assault are taken extremely seriously, and reported to the police. sanchia berg, bbc news.
11:04 am
earlier my colleague annita mcveigh spoke to dr laura janes, the legal director at the howard league for penal reform. obviously, it is a terrible situation for anyone in custody to be subjected to sexual harm. going into custody is about deprivation of liberty, not actively exposing people to criminal harm. what i do know in our work at the howard league for penal reform, we have a specialist legal advice line for children and young adults aged 21 and under, is we do come across young adults, aged 21 and younger, and we do come across young adults who experience sexual assault in custody today. that is a real concern. do you think if you compare the 1970s and 1980s, and now, do you think things have changed significantly? do you think of someone like a chief medical officer were to raise concerns, that those concerns would be, you know, left to one side for up to five years?
11:05 am
do you think that young inmates would be placed in a situation where they would be in close contact with the sort of offender that ian brady was? well, clearly, one would hope there have been huge changes. what we do know is that the independent enquiry on child sexual abuse, for children aged under 18, reported earlier this year and found there have been over 1000 allegations from children in respect to sexual abuse, from children in custody. when i was giving evidence to that enquiry and looking over the case files and work we had done at the howard league over the last ten years, what really struck me was the number of young adults in that situation. just because you turn 18, it doesn't mean you are suddenly a full adult with all the full attributes of maturity. the courts have recognised that. in fact, young adults can be extremely vulnerable, because they can still have features of childhood but none of the protections.
11:06 am
if the independent enquiry into child sexual abuse is saying it is happening and children are still at risk of sexual harm, then surely that must apply to young adults. the problem is no one has looked at this in sufficient detail. to be clear today, in the prison system as it exists, any young people, whether they are 18, just over 18 or under 18, are they coming into contact with much older prisoners or not? under 18's — generally not. that would be a rare exception, it is not unheard of. under 18s should be placed in a young offenders institution ——over 18s should be placed in a young offenders institution for 18 to 21—year—olds. are there enough places of that type? this is the issue. most adult prisons are dual designated as both young offender institutions for young adults and for older adults, so that is an increased risk now, and much greater increased risk than in the recent past of young
11:07 am
adults coming into contact with older prisoners. if that age group of prisoner are placed in these young offenders institutions, what difference does that make to their future prospects in your opinion? i'm talking not only of course about them being protected from the risk of sexual assault or abuse but in terms of outcomes, returning to society and so on? at the howard league for penal reform, we are very clear that prison is generally harmful, it does not work. it increases the chances of reoffending and disrupts prosocial activities... for this age group. absolutely. they are still developing. we know from medical research that their brains are not fully formed until the age of 25. you are taking away those really crucial, adolescent years so custody can be really harmful for that reason alone, let alone on top of the risk of this kind of abuse.
11:08 am
with the information that's coming to light about ian brady and i know you need to look into that in more detail, what do you hope that everyone working in this area will take from this investigation? i think the bbc has shone a light here. it is really important that we think really carefully in how the systemic the systemic overview of the risk to young adults in custody. we managed to do that for children. let's have a look at young adults. there are various safeguards in place. the safeguards such as the ombudsman and the inspector of prisons, they are meaningless if young people feel they cannot come forward and actually perhaps i will read you a line from a young adult in respect of whom we brought a judicial review, who had been sexually assaulted in custody and he is explaining here why he did not come forward earlier. he said, "i felt intimidated because he, the abuser was a lot bigger than me."
11:09 am
"the reason i took too long to say anything," and this young person had a learning disability — "it was because i felt scared." "i felt like staff would not believe me and the abuser said not to tell anyone." until we create a much stronger culture where people feel able and confident to come forward, there is still a real risk that this will continue. the us house of representatives has approved a four—and—a—half billion dollar aid package for migrants stuck at the border with mexico. it now needs to get through the republican controlled senate, with president trump already threatening to veto the bill. it comes amid reports of children being held in squalid conditions in migrant detention centres — these reports are thought to have contributed to the resignation of the top us border official. the desperate situation faced by migrants and asylum seekers trying to cross the border
11:10 am
from mexico into the us has been illustrated by a very upsetting and shocking photograph — a warning it's very distressing and you may not want to see it. it shows the body of a two—year—old girl, valeria, with her arm wrapped around her father as they float face down in the rio grande, which separates the united states and mexico. oscar martinez ramirez, from salvador, had been trying to help his family cross illegally after failing to gain entry. the mexican president has called their deaths very regrettable. cbs correspondent natalie brand sent this update. hundreds of migrant children were moved out of this detention facility in clint, texas because of filthy conditions. today customs and border patrol sent around 100 of them back. this, as the house of representatives passed an emergency aid bill that would try to boost standards for basic needs and medical care for migrants,
11:11 am
especially children, as well as reinstate humanitarian aid to central america, cut by the trump administration. and yet last week, the trump department ofjustice argued in court that the government should not have to provide children in custody with soap, toothbrushes, or beds. this situation is child abuse. but republicans who oppose the bill argue it stems from the underfunding of agents and officers who were overwhelmed at the border. if you don't provide resources, where are you going to put the children you say you want to take care of? the white house tells cbs news the president would veto the house bill because it hinders the administration's ability to enforce immigration laws and protect children. the white house prefers the version of the bill crafted by the senate with bipartisan support. today, acting head of customs and border protectionjohn sanders announced his resignation, just two months after taking thejob.
11:12 am
mark morgan will take over. he pushed back against some of the criticism in an interview with cbs. i do not agree it is egregious conditions, like a systemic problem. what word would you use? there are always challenges and we should always try to get better. morgan, like president trump place as much of the blame on congress for inaction. well, cbs correspondent tom hanson said there'd been an immediate reaction in the us to the publication of the distressing photo. it certainly touched a nerve with many people in america. there has been outrage and sorrow on social media. this is an awful image that speaks louder than anything we can say. many are pointing to this as something that will define the
11:13 am
crisis along the us mexico border andi crisis along the us mexico border and i think it shows how treacherous this journey can be for people heading from latin america into mexico and the united states. it shows the bottleneck many people face in the immigration system which is simply overwhelmed. the father and daughter were swept away in the river and they had been enduring terrible conditions in mexico as well. over the weekend this family is not the only one. a baby, two toddlers and young women were also found dead in south texas. it is believed they died in harsh elements after crossing the border. this is not unique to this one family, this is something that is recurring. and we want to know what you think about this story — you can tweet us using the hashtag bbc newsroomlive or text us at 611211.
11:14 am
we will also have coverage of prime minister's questions at midday. more on today's main stories coming up on newsroom live here on the bbc news channel, but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. let's stay with this story on migration issues on the border with mexico and the united states. let's get more on this now from gerry simpson — associate director in the crisis & conflict division, at human rights watch. hejoins me from geneva. thank you forjoining us. let's start with that photograph, the father and daughter lying dead in the water. what is your reaction to that? it is a heartbreaking photo and highlights the plight of thousands of people who are trying to cross the border in informal ways because they fear they will be stuck for months on end in mexico. they
11:15 am
get sent back from mexico so this is the result of a broader policy that forces people into dangerous passages where they faced this kind of threat. i know your organisation has visited the us border detention centre for children. you did not go on that visit but tell us more about what your colleagues sought there. the human rights watch has been covering the appalling situation in border patrol holding cells for a long time. two years ago we were reporting on how children were being forced to sleep on the floor in freezing winter conditions for days on end. just last week our team visited it again and found teenagers looking after unrelated toddlers, children being kept even though they have parents in the us who they could be released to, people
11:16 am
sleeping on concrete floors without bla nkets sleeping on concrete floors without blankets or sanitary items such as toothpaste and soap. —— toothbrushes. we know that some of these children, the weight they are treated in the us detention facilities, is worse than some of the trauma they have gone through backin the trauma they have gone through back in their own countries and on their way through mexico. they talked for shelter and protection in the us and kindness, and instead they are separated from their pa rents. they are separated from their parents. it is something you have been talking about for some time and there has been awareness of those conditions but those camps are very tightly guarded. how much of a difference do you think the reports of the migrant deaths have made in the past couple of days and specifically that photograph because 110w specifically that photograph because now congress and the house of representatives are agreeing to humanitarian aid for the border. we should not be in this position where
11:17 am
we are talking about humanitarian aid on the us border. this is one of the world's richest countries which has the capacity to host large numbers of asylum claims. there are many countries that are far poorer who are dealing with this any far more humane way so who are dealing with this any far more humane way so it is a travesty that we have reached this point. in terms of the photo and whether it will put pressure on congress and policymakers to change their ways, we will have to wait and see. in europe there was a similar photo couple of years ago in relation to each child drowned trying to reach greece or turkey, and after an outpouring of grief the european asylu m outpouring of grief the european asylum policies got worse. we hope that will not be the case in this photo will spotlight these atrocious conditions that children and adults face on a daily basis. thank you very much forjoining us.
11:18 am
the race to number ten continues — with tory leadership rivals boris johnson and jeremy hunt at loggerheads over how the uk should leave the eu. both contenders for prime minister claim they can renegotiate a brexit deal that the eu says is closed. but mr hunt insists the extended exit date of october 31 is a ‘fake deadline' that could trigger a general election if parliament rejects a no—deal brexit — while mrjohnson said the uk must leave on 31 october "deal or no deal". our assistant political editor norman smith is at westminster for us. how much of a difference is there between the two of them? less then you might think. jeremy hunt is saying he does not think it is a ha rd saying he does not think it is a hard deadline and if he thought the eu was getting close to agreeing something they would allow a few more weeks or days to kneel that deal. but this has been seized on by
11:19 am
tea m deal. but this has been seized on by teamjohnson deal. but this has been seized on by team johnson who are trying to crank up team johnson who are trying to crank up the pressure onjeremy hunt as to suggest that he is preparing for more delay with borisjohnson writing to him last night, demanding that he rules out any sort of further delay, no ifs or buts or maybes. we heard from dominic raab, support and out of borisjohnson in a pointed dig atjeremy hunt saying he was part of the cabinet which has already delayed brexit. a warning that if mr hunt gives any indication at all that he will not stick to that deadline of october the 31st than the eu will exploit it. this is what he said. the minute you start flirting with an extension you undermine your negotiating leverage, eviscerate your negotiating strength, because the eu of course has got every reason to delay. that is what is so important about the assurance that boris has given and is so important
11:20 am
about frankly the weakness telegraphed by jeremy. there is a certain naivete in negotiating terms of saying, yes, we would be open for an extension. that invites the eu to double down. what boris is doing, for those who are wanting a deal, is giving us the best shot at achieving it. meanwhile, team hunt has hit back on a different tact after borisjohnson suggested that if he could not get an agreement, don't panic, we will be able to leave at a standstill situation where we would not face any tariffs from the eu because we could take advantage of existing world trade rules. not true say team hunt. they say we would not be able to do that and plenty of prominent people have said that such as the government of the bank of england, the head of the world trade organisation. they were joined this morning by liam fox, the international trade secretary and a prominent brexiteers.
11:21 am
i've not criticised boris at all, i wasjust pointing out the fact i've not criticised boris at all, i was just pointing out the fact that if you want to use it it requires both parties cooperation so the ability to use it in a no deal scenario is far likely to be open. this leadership campaign is utterly and totally dominated by one issue, brexit. it does not matter what the other arguments are about social ca re other arguments are about social care 01’ other arguments are about social care or cutting taxes or even painting red buses, the only thing that matters is brexit and increasingly, a team johnson get their way, the only issue that matters is going to be that deadline date of october the 31st. thank you very much. prime ministers questions at midday. the government has announced that victims of so—called revenge porn and cyberflashing could be given better protection as part of a review of image—based sexual abuse laws. campaigners have been calling for victims to have the same
11:22 am
protection of anonymity as other sexual offences. the law commission will examine the legislation around the sharing of explicit images without consent. joining us now is sophie gallagher — she is a reporter at huffpost uk who has been covering digital sexual harrasment. she has also been a victim of cyber flashing herself. thank you for coming in. obviously this relates to the two aspects, it is something of the victim that is sent out without their consent but it has happened to you and somebody sent you something you did not ask for. i was on the tube in the summer of 2017 and i was travelling come from work. i had my airdrop on and my phone connected to the wi—fi and i was sent 120 inappropriate pictures. i did not accept anything, ijust took a pictures. i did not accept anything, i just took a screenshot of the
11:23 am
thumbnail of what someone was trying to send me. it was without my consent, i did not know he was sending it but it was someone within a30 sending it but it was someone within a 30 metre radius. i do not know who they were but perhaps they knew who i was. potentially it was the person sitting right next to you. yeah, since it happened to me i have spoken to women who have had the same thing happen to them. it is a general feeling of same thing happen to them. it is a generalfeeling of being same thing happen to them. it is a general feeling of being violated, scared and uncomfortable because if you have to continue thatjourney or thatis you have to continue thatjourney or that is a journey you make regularly, you have to go back into that space where it happened but without knowing who it was. it is embarrassing as well. i was just going about my business owing to and from work and you feel, as with lots of women, you feel oh god, i should not have had my airdrop on. that should not be the case. it should
11:24 am
not be a price women have to pay. the instinct is to feel embarrassed and not to know what to do. the temptation, there has been a lot of discussion today, the temptation might be to stand up and say, who has sent this? i was thinking about this. i spoke to one woman who is 55 and she said, i am not a young woman, i was just commuting to work andi woman, i was just commuting to work and i felt such woman, i was just commuting to work and ifelt such indignation woman, i was just commuting to work and i felt such indignation that someone and i felt such indignation that someone would invade myspace as she stood up and said something. but then everyone looked away and she felt embarrassed for having caused a scene. it is a brave thing to do but the onus should not be on women to do this. it should be people knowing it is absolutely unacceptable and in that regard, a change in the law, how helpful might that be? any potential change in the law is at least two years away but i
11:25 am
personally believe it is something thatis personally believe it is something that is long overdue. they have a law in scotland against it and have had since 2010 the england and wales are behind the curve on this. the lot would just mean that whatever, if someone physically came on the tube and flashed you, that is illegal. if it is on your phone why should it be any different? illegal. if it is on your phone why should it be any different7m illegal. if it is on your phone why should it be any different? it is arguably more invasive. absolutely, it isa arguably more invasive. absolutely, it is a private space, you do not know who has done it. at least in public you can identify them and move away from the threat but if it is on youth phone you do not know where the threat is from but it is close by which is scary. it is making sure that as technology develops and there are new methods of enacting all behaviours, such as flashing, and finding new ways of
11:26 am
being exploited. the other aspect is images of somebody, the victim being sent out without their consent. there is a call for an amenity for the person his photographs have been sent out. —— there has been a call for the person whose photograph has been sent out to be anonymous. i was reading about one case that a woman who went through a protracted legal battle and ended up getting a copyright of the images and damages, actually, in her case the person who sent it out was granted anonymity. we are talking about revenge pawn. in most sexual offences in the uk oui’ in most sexual offences in the uk our legislation means that most victims when they complain are granted automatic anonymity. this increases peoples confidence in coming forward and means there is no
11:27 am
public record of it having happened going forward. with revenge pornography there is discussion about whether that same rule should be applied. there have been cases where that woman was not granted an amenity and that stays with her. there are many women who are saying i'm not going to put myself forward ifi i'm not going to put myself forward if i cannot be anonymous. i think thatis if i cannot be anonymous. i think that is an important consideration. the lucky men but now we need to move on and make sure it is —— the law came in but now we need to make sure it does move on and is treated the same as other sexual offences. a newborn baby has been found alive inside a plastic bag dumped in woods in the us state of georgia.
11:28 am
how did you hear it? we heard it from our house. these pictures are incredible. forsyth county sheriff's office released this dramatic bodycam footage. there is a baby inside that plastic bag, thankfully alive and apparently well. looking to be very newborn. her umbilical cord still appears to be attached. a local resident can be heard saying he heard the cries and raised the alarm. rescue workers then swaddle the baby in a blanket. she's been named ‘india' and is said to be doing well in the care of family services. now it's time for a look at the weather.
11:29 am
thank you, quite cloudy for many of us thank you, quite cloudy for many of us but there will be some brighter skies through the day. this is the scene from one of our weather watchers in the scottish borders. quite a bit of cloud making it feel quite chilly at the moment. where we have sunshine across west wales and southern england, already in the 20s. temperatures will get up to 22 degrees in the central belt but it will stay rather chilly for eastern areas. through tonight we will see cloud in central and eastern parts but the clear skies will be further north and a little bit fresher. certainly more comfortable for sleeping. temperatures getting down to about 11—13d. throughout thursday, in central and eastern parts of the cloud bones and it will bea parts of the cloud bones and it will be a sunny and warm day for most of us. be a sunny and warm day for most of
11:30 am
us. temperatures getting into the 20s, up to 25 degrees. goodbye. hello this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines. the bbc discovers that moors murderer ian brady was allowed to mix with vulnerable young prisoners for more than five years, even after one claimed that brady had had sex with him. what happened and what he did in prisons, i think, is not extraordinary. actually i think happens and has happened every day for years. a multi billion dollar aid package for migrant families detained after entering the us is partially approved, as images
11:31 am
of a father and daughter, drowned in the rio grande, emerges. the two rivals for the conservative leadership continue to clash over whether the uk should commit to leaving the eu on october the 31st. temperature records are likely to be broken across europe, as an early summer heatwave sweeps across the continent. san francisco becomes the first us city to ban sales of e—cigarettes until the health effects are clearer. oh i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. and a newborn baby is found alive inside a plastic bag left in woods in the us state of georgia. sport now, here'sjohn watson. good morning. england may have to call upon a new central defensive partnership in their quarter final with norway in le havre tomorrow night.
11:32 am
captain steph houghton and millie bright both with doubts for the match. jane dougall is there. and not ideal preparation for phil neville and his team? we knew after the cameron game that steph houghton could be a doubt after that horrific tackle. we have been asking how as she? i spoke to her at the time and she said she was absolutely fine but we have been told she has bruising on the back of her leg and today fell never said she was a doubt. she has played in every —— cell neville said she was a doubt. so to not have her against
11:33 am
normally would be our massive blow. but we also found out today that millie bright could also be a doubt. fell never said she had a virus. i asked phil neville what can a virus and he said a sickness. so we are not sure what is wrong with her. he did confirm that she would be a doubt for tomorrow. he was mineral axed considering his paving of them being a doubt. but he would put his life on his replacements. i did speak to steph houghton who said she was absently fine but phil neville said the situation is one of the reasons why he had 23 players in his court. you plan for these moments. i said six month ago, we do not want to get your quarterfinal and throw
11:34 am
in somebody who we have not tested, who we have not tried and doesn't know our system. so there has been a plan behind it and it is for moments like this. when i am totally relaxed. i said from day one, only worry about those that can get on the bus and those are fit ones. unfortunately, in situations you are going to have injuries, and it is opportunities for others. i put my life on the replacements if they are called upon. and temperatures could rise there? they are talking about 35 degrees. in the match against cameroon it was 30 degrees which was tough enough. so conditions will get hotter. however, phil neville again said they had prepared for this. he said they had prepared for this. he saidi said they had prepared for this. he said i actually prefer 20 and sewed my players. he said the british seem
11:35 am
to have an obsession with the weather. he said they prepared for it and they spent some time at st george's park in a sauna and were playing in thermals. he said there had been no surprises in this world cup so far. but, thursday may bring some surprises with norway. phil neville again said they had been surprise team of the tournament. he said they had shown a spirit and togetherness. they are technically gifted and they have played very well. so this could be the toughest test yet for england. but as i said, i very relaxed manager who faced the media today. so hopefully it will be a relaxed squad who face norway on thursday. let's hope so. many thanks jane. british number one johanna konta is in action at eastbourne as she continues her wimbledon preparations. she faces ons jabeur.
11:36 am
after she beat maria sakkari yesterday, but the rain is falling, back on court after rain stopped play. preparing for wimbledon where she will be the 19th seed. we will see if she can build on the clay—court performances. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. san francisco has become the first american city to ban sales of e—cigarettes until their health effects are clearer. yesterday officials voted to stp selling the vaporisers and made it illegal for online retailers to deliver to addresses in the city. san francisco's mayor, london breed, has 10 days to sign off the legislation, and the law will come into force seven months from that date. joining me now is director
11:37 am
of the uk vaping industry association, john dunne. thank you john. what is your reaction? we are baffled at this stance. especially in a city that allows cigarettes to be sold and continue to be sold. as well as marijuana. they are now looking to ban the sale of the most important breakthrough for smoking cessation in many years. one that is three times more successful than any other product. you are saying that vaping is helpful for getting product. you are saying that vaping is helpfulfor getting people to move from smoking cigarettes to something that is a better option. the concern among critics is that although it may be better than smoking cigarettes, they are worse than doing nothing at all, potentially. and young children who never smoked or taking it up and who
11:38 am
knows what health problems may be stone installed up for the future. you have multiple questions there so let me address them in sequence. first of all, nobody is saying that vaping is 100% safe. we know that it is 95% less harmful than smoking. also in the uk, we are not seeing this youth uptake. in fact, action for smoking healthjust this youth uptake. in fact, action for smoking health just brought out their 2018 report and saw no evidence of more uptake here in the uk. as i understand it, surveys are being carried out in the states and there have not been similar research in this country. it is difficult and i have tried to find stats about this and i'd agree with you it is difficult to find them. but if you are putting something out, a product out, that you do not want to appeal to kids, why put out flavours in a
11:39 am
four —— in a product. dual have withdrawn two of their most popular flavours because they were worried it was appealing to kids. the us and uk markets are very different... sorry, kids are kids, anywhere aren't the? that's not the case. looking at this specific issue for many years, they have not found any link to youth uptake in the uk or that it link to youth uptake in the uk or thatitis link to youth uptake in the uk or that it is a gateway to smoking. this is something that is coming from the us. in terms of the long—term effects of vaping, obviously because it is a relatively new thing, they are just not known. there are concerns around the impact of the particles on the lungs, irritating the lungs, the high levels of nicotine in some products.
11:40 am
and the impact of the nicotine on the body in terms of boosting adrenaline levels, the impact on the body as cardiovascular system. that is concerning for anybody. but i suppose in particular young people whose bodies are still developing? again, you are looking at two very different markets. the nicotine strength that we are allowed here are far lower than those allowed in the uk. for instance, a system in the uk. for instance, a system in the us, sorry, will have about 50 mg of nicotine with us you it will have more than half of that. so it is a very different situation. thank you very different situation. thank you very much forjoining us. no problem. the singer sheryl crow has told the bbc that original recordings of some of her biggest hits were destroyed in a huge fire at universal studios. the master tapes were kept in a vault in los angeles which went
11:41 am
up in flames 11 years ago. it's estimated half a million songs were lost. mark savage reports. for 11 years, universal music and said they were house fire in los angeles had a limited impact on its archives. but now, the new york times estimates that half a million songs were lost by artists such as truck berry, aretha franklin, elton john and nirvana. sheryl crow is the first major artist to confirm her master recordings were lost as well as the back—ups in a safety. master recordings were lost as well as the back-ups in a safety. that is where all my masters were stored. it absolutely grieves me. i cannot understand how you could store anything ina understand how you could store anything in a vault that did not have sprinklers. secondly, i cannot understand how you could make safeties and have them in the same vault. what is the point? for a song
11:42 am
like all i want to, the master is the original recording. it is the one you are back to if you want to make copies. she says all of those are gone and she is not the only one affected. universal music says the damage caused by the fire has been overstated to admitted that any loss was painful. a record heatwave is scheduled to hit you look today. the potentially deadly heatwave caused by a plume of hotair deadly heatwave caused by a plume of hot airfrom the deadly heatwave caused by a plume of hot air from the sahara is expected to set temperature records forjune in the coming days. earlier eric paris come to limit correspondence gave this update. it is going to be 3334 degrees in paris. maybe 40 in

some parts of the south of the country. places where it does get very hot regularly. preparations here in france, in paris are going ahead. but there is an element of a communications programme in all of this. if you go around the city, you are seeing people very aware of the heat, and of the need to act to limit the heat in their homes. and thatis limit the heat in their homes. and that is because there has been a big pr campaign led by the government and the mayor to remind people of what to do. memories of 2003 very much alive. a couple of points. this will not last and it will be over by the weekend. so it is not a city gripped by fear. second if it is a story, and it is a story, it is not because of people suffering but because of people suffering but because of people suffering but because of the questions it may raise about global warming. and what is unusual is that it is early in the year. not that it is particularly intense but it is in june. and the people who know about
11:44 am
these things are saying you can't specifically link this heatwave to global warming, but you can say spells like this are likely to become more frequent and that is why maybe significant. italy is used to having hot summers but injuly italy is used to having hot summers but in july and italy is used to having hot summers but injuly and august. it can deal with temperatures. the difference now is that it is late june. it has come earlier. here is what you can do in rome if you are walking around the streets, you can often see drinking fountains. you are entitled to dunk your head under those fountains and get a refreshing stream of water. but if you go to the trevi fountain, you are not allowed to jump into the the trevi fountain, you are not allowed tojump into the fountain treating it as a swimming pool or a film set. one drunken tourist was fined around 450 euros. summer rules do not waive those fines.
11:45 am
in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... the bbc discovers that moors murderer ian brady was allowed to mix with vulnerable young prisoners for more than five years, even after one claimed that brady had had sex with him. a multi billion dollar aid package for migrant families detained after entering the us is partially approved, as images of a father and daughter, drowned in the rio grande, emerges. the two rivals for the conservative leadership continue to clash over whether the uk should comit to leaving the eu on october the 31st. the business news. troubled fashion chain bonmarche has warned that trading in the first quarter has been ‘poor‘ and reversed its opposition to the £5.7 million takeover offer from uk billionaire philip day. its shares fell 26% as it blamed bad weather for its performance and said mr day's offer was now more acceptable.
11:46 am
san francisco has become the first city in the usa to ban the sale of e—cigarettes over concerns of a "dramatic surge" in use among young people. officials voted to ban stores selling the vaporisers and have also made it illegalfor online retailers to deliver to addresses in the city. e—cigarette producers say the move will "create a thriving black market". up to 20 million manufacturing jobs around the world could be replaced by robots by 2030, according to analysis firm oxford economics. it's calling for for action to prevent a damaging increase in income inequality. some bad news for yorkshire—based clothing chain bonmarche today. the group, which has 312 shops with clothing aimed at over—50s women, trading in the first quarter has been "poor" and recommended a takeover offerfrom philip day, the owner of edinburgh woollen mill.
11:47 am
bonmarche employs 1,900 full—time equivalent people, but edinburgh woollen mill group—owner mr day has previously warned he expects a "material reduction" in headcount at the chain. is from savvy marketing. it was surprisingly held out against the offer in the first place because philip day is a sup turnaround king and has a good view for this business. in holding out, it has proved that their plans have come to nothing and their trading has fallen even harder and faster than they would have hoped. so going back with their tails between their legs and now they are interested in his offer. what are the problems facing bonmarche right now? it is blaming bad weather but surely it was deeper than that? the weather has been
11:48 am
atrocious and all fashion retailers will have been challenged. when we look at the weather this time last year and consumer sentiment was more positive last year than it is a year later. the problems they have got are threefold. one is the lack of people on the high street. this business relies on footfall, passing trade and over 50 shoppers are finding somewhere else to go. they are also finding their offer is just not chiming with over 50s women. they are finding other places to buy their clothing form. and we are buying less clothes and making do with what we have got and not inspired. there are lots of reasons for that. we are also thinking about whether it is right to be consistently buying clothes when we have a full wardrobe? this is a market of people who have spare money but they are certainly not spending a great deal at the moment with bonmarche. and if this offer
11:49 am
which has been recommended now goes through, if bonmarche is what, what would it mean for the company? because philip day has spoken about a reduction in headcount. to survive there will have to be some radical changes to the business and that will mean less shops. lots of the shops will not be performing well enough and if it is going to be surviving, to stay on the high street, philip day will look at how to transform that business and sadly that will impact the people who work in the shops. we are always the greatest victims of the situations. but he is going to stay and he's going to fit it in the race of his portfolio then it will have to be cut down. there will have to be a material difference in the way that saw works. he has a very big view of the high street and is looking at driving some of his business more upmarket and i think he is someone who if anyone can turn it round, he is the man who can do it. and you said earlier, a lot of the over 50s women are going elsewhere. where are they going to buy the clothes? they
11:50 am
are going to places like marks & spencer, debenhams, house of fraser. iaman spencer, debenhams, house of fraser. i am an over 50s women, i would not go to bonmarche. i would see it is somewhere much older than me. the point is, there are loads of places on the high street for women to do the clothing shopping. the most worrying thing is that we are just doing less of it overall and for the retailers that is a problem. so we are making do with what we had last season. we are not buying new outfits to go to weddings and we are just saying i'm not sure i need all that stuff. so when we are buying, we may buy fewer things, more expensive top end retailers or we are buying things in the supermarket when we go shopping. so the point is, the retail market in clothing for over 50s women is broad and we can go anywhere and we certainly don't want to be shoehorned in a place will be don't feel we fit. thank you very much. a brief look at
11:51 am
the markets. investors are treading water ahead of an important g20 meeting in japan. president water ahead of an important g20 meeting injapan. president trump and the chinese president will hopefully be meeting. possibly thrashing out an agreement in the trade tensions and trade war. that has made investors feel a little bit, about other tensions between iran and america in the middle east. that's all the business for now. ben will be here in the afternoon but for now back to thejudeo. —— the studio. a painting, believed to be a lost masterpiece by italian artist caravaggio, has been snapped up by a mystery buyer two days before it was due to be auctioned. the 17th century painting was discovered five years ago in an attic in france, as gail maclellan reports. a biblical scene, judith in the act of decapitating a syrian general holofernes, helped by an elderly servant.
11:52 am
valued at around $150 million, it was due to be sold by auction later this week but has gone for what the auction house coyly says is a very good price. the identity of the buyer and the price paid are covered by a confidentiality agreement, though it is known the painting will not be kept in france. some specialists have doubts about the canvas, but after years of analysis, it is widely accepted to be authentic. translation: what makes this painting a caravaggio is the enormous energy, the beauty with which it was painted, the face ofjudith itself cannot be attributed to any other painter. the beauty of her face, the black of her eyes, the energy emanating from this face alongside the sensuality of these shiny lips can only belong to caravaggio. the painting was believed to have lain undiscovered in the family house for at least 100 years, possibly brought to france during napoleon's campaigns in southern europe. it is just the sort of thing you really hope you will find underneath an old mattress in the attic when you are trying to sort out a leak. if only.
11:53 am
gail maclellan, bbc news. we'll be hearing from theresa may at prime minister's questions very shortly, but first let's get more on the tory leadership race with our assistant political editor norman smith. normally prime ministers questions are the big event of the week but it almost seems a small deal with the brexit saga and tory leadership contest. attention is now on the state of october the 31st which borisjohnson is saying is do or die, we will be leaving them. a wise strategy? now you have always been wa ry strategy? now you have always been wary ofan strategy? now you have always been wary of an audio kinda brexit. is not becoming more of a possibility? i think boris is absolutely right. it is not a fake deadline, it is one
11:54 am
that was agreed. so it is a reality. it is in everyone's interest fixing that date and is looking ahead to that date and is looking ahead to that date and is looking ahead to that date to plan ahead, to seek the deal that boris wants to obtain. or to prepare that we avoid chaos. and a crash out i have long warned against. but surely boris johnson's deal is almost unknown hope? why would the eu agreed to delay any decisions on the backstop, to give us decisions on the backstop, to give usa decisions on the backstop, to give us a transition period for nothing? i think that the reality has been that we have tried the withdrawal we meant three times and three times parliament has said no. it is now incumbent on everyone in the short time we have worked to secure an agreement that provides an orderly and brexit as possible. i am thinking about those companies who
11:55 am
particularly reply on as frictionless a trade system as possible. it is important for them that we provide order. how serious is the risk that if there was no deal, that we could leave without facing eu tariffs? mrjohnson has suggested we will be ok and there would be a zero tariff regime. companies didn't panic. i think he zaps lately right to talk about what is possible. it would require as we all acknowledged, some agreements. but that agreement could be in a different form from the withdrawal agreement. it would be something that would allow people on both site of the channels to work in an orderly way. i accept that these work at peace. a lot of no deal preparation has been done notjust by the uk, but also by the 27 as well. and that body of work is very important in terms of preparing for what might happen on the 31st of
11:56 am
october. you want to avoid a disorderly no deal. some of your collea g u es disorderly no deal. some of your colleagues are saying on extremis if it came to it, they would consider any it came to it, they would consider a ny effect it came to it, they would consider any effect pulling out the government, voting against the government. are you tempted? i am not because that would usher in and smp, -- smp, not because that would usher in and smp, —— smp, corbyn government which would be terrible. no conservative mp would want to contemplate that and such talk is very premature to say the least. thank you very much. we were just discussing theresa may now liberated from brexit seems to be here there and everywhere, from everything from mental health to climate change to schools. she has almost crawled out from underneath the rock of brexit and found some
11:57 am
other political to breathe. studio: do any of those things she's talking about come to anything? that is the problem really. she has not got time or the sort of parliamentary backing to push through any legislation so they are more markers of what she would like to achieve than what she can actually bring about. thank you very much norman. prime ministers questions coming up in a few minutes. but now the weather. a lot of cloud with some wet thunderstorms. today, affirmative cloud around. this is a scene at trafford. there is a bit of sunshine breaking through that cloud and we will see more of that over the next few days. this is north wales. we will continue to see a few sunny spells breaking through the cloud across the country. elsewhere it will remain cloudy and cool below
11:58 am
below that cloud. temperatures getting up into the high teens and low 20s. the high temperatures were be where we have at something. we will continue with a bit of cloud across central and eastern parts coming off the north sea. clear skies in northern areas. it could be a bit chillier tomorrow morning. the south and a more comfortable night for sleeping. temperatures getting about 11 or 13 degrees. thursday, start off with some low clouds and mysterious. messiness. a day of much more sunshine. 26 degrees in central and western scotland. elsewhere, high teens and low 20s. low pressure moving its way, it will move east to allow a south—westerly wind to develop through friday which will bring very warm if not hot air all
11:59 am
the way from africa, through spain, through france and mainly on friday, across western areas of the uk. we will start off the morning with a bit of cloud in eastern parts. that will burn away. friday is looking like a sparkling day with lots of sunshine. temperatures ramping up. around these western parts it will be up to the med to high 20s. still fresher in eastern areas. on into the weekend, for most of us the sunshine will continue. a few showers developing across northern and western areas. for most, dry on saturday. the heat transfer is a bit towards the east. we could see temperatures 30 or 31 or 32 degrees. the european heatwave really takes hold through the week. record—breaking temperatures not just during that all—time records could be broken. that is france and into switzerland. that's all.
12:00 pm
you're watching bbc newsroom live — these are today's main stories: a multi billion dollar aid package for migrant families detained after entering the us is partially approved — as images of a father and daughter, drowned in the rio grande, emerges. the two rivals for the conservative leadership continue to clash over whether the uk should comit to leaving the eu on october the 31st. commit to leaving the eu on october the 31st. this is the scene live in the house of commons where theresa may is about to face prime minister's questions. the bbc discovers that moors murderer ian brady was allowed to mix with vulnerable young prisoners for more than five years — even after one claimed that brady had had sex with him. what happened and what he did in prisons, i think, is not extraordinary. actually i think happens and has
12:01 pm
happened every day for years. temperature records are likely to be broken across europe — as an early summer heatwave sweeps across the continent. san francisco becomes the first us city to ban sales of e—cigarettes until the health effects are clearer. and the use of the word kimono by kim kardashian west as the name of her new underwear brand causes quite a commotion injapan. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. i'm joanne gosling. norman smith, our assistant political editor, is at the houses of parliament now. looking inside the chamber, the tory
12:02 pm
benches are filling up. a few moments ago they were almost empty andi moments ago they were almost empty and i was wondering if they would fill up but they are looking quite packed. it is curious because last week there were echoes of the green benches because pm cues has become discombobulated and gutted of its importance. i saw borisjohnson walking in flight by his attendants. i asked him about the red buses but he just walked past. i asked him about the red buses but hejust walked past. but i asked him about the red buses but he just walked past. but i think we need to know and see these red buses. i think if he picks them up on ebay he can earn some money. some on ebay he can earn some money. some on twitter were saying it is about search engine optimisation because now if you look boris buses that is the story that comes up.|j now if you look boris buses that is the story that comes up. i do not know, i thought he just made it up and stumbled into it. he can think
12:03 pm
of anything to say that mackie couldn't think of anything to say, i wonder if he wondered into that. painting little people on red buses when it seems a tad unlikely. maybe he will prove me wrong. on the assumption that red buses does not come up it is interesting to see mrs may now, almost a liberated politician now because for the past two years she has been in the salt mines of brexit hacking away at a deal. now she seems reborn with lots of different policies. lets go into the chamber. i am sure the whole house will want to join me in wishing the england football team
12:04 pm
the very best for their game against norway tomorrow. mr speaker, this morning my office hosted a reception to mark armed forces reserve day and this coming saturday we celebrate armed forces day. this is an opportunity for us all to pay tribute to our service men and women here and around the world for their dedication and service, and for those who served in previous generations. this morning i had meetings with miss ministerial collea g u es meetings with miss ministerial colleagues and others. later today the chancellor and i will travel to japan for the g20 leaders summit. but the threat of climate change pitting future generations at risk, violent terrorist propaganda spreading online and rising tensions in the gulf, this summit is an opportunity to address global challenges affecting all of our nations. as the thousands of people demonstrating outside will tell you, tackling climate change and biodiversity makes the world safer,
12:05 pm
more beautiful and sustainable for our children and grandchildren. does the prime minister agreed that one of the first acts of the next prime minister should be urgently a new environmental and climate change bill, putting into place all the recommendations of the committee on climate change to meet net carbon zero making the world a more beautiful place? can i say that we have and are introducing an environment bill as a government. we introduced a 25 year environment plan, the first time any government has done that, we committed to net zero emissions by 2050 and that has gone through this house but the question she needs to think about is why is the labour party and the house of lords trying to block the net zero 2050 legislation? thank you, mr speaker. one of the biggest restraints on what is a very positive economy in york and north yorkshire is the lack of progress on
12:06 pm
devolution. following the rejection of the one yorkshire proposal does the prime minister agree that we need to have a more local approach such as a york north yorkshire deal to rival those of the big urban centres ? to rival those of the big urban centres? i absolutely recognise, as we do across government, the enthusiasm and dedication in yorkshire for devolution and the potential scene therefore harnessing a local sense of identity. we want to do the best for yorkshire, the people and businesses. the communities secretary has now met with yorkshire leaders and discussions are continuing about the different look list approach to devolution and officials are having initial meetings with councils including york, i will be interested in hearing their ambitions for devolution. i hope the whole house will welcome the mass climate lobby thatis will welcome the mass climate lobby that is coming to parliament today.
12:07 pm
we should be proud of it. this has became the first parliament in the world to declare a climate emergency. i want to pay tribute to the young people and young climate strikers that have done so much to raise awareness of this issue and i hope members will take the chance to meet those who are coming to lobby and learn from them, because they feel very passionately on the issue. i also acknowledge it is armed forces day and televisions are going on this week. i think we should be concerned about the welfare of serving and four serving members. i joined the prime minister in graduating the lioness is for reaching the quarterfinals of the women's world cup and wish them well against norway. i welcomed the judgment of the court of appeal last thursday against uk arms sales to saudi arabia. the court found that the government had and i quote, made no concluded assessments of whether the saudi led coalition had
12:08 pm
committed violations of international humanitarian law during the yemen conflict ma no attempt to do so. does the prime minister dispute that finding? —— and made no attempt to do so. we continue to operate one of the most robust armed export resumes in the world and we take it very seriously. in the words of the 2017th judgment, the government engaged in anxious scrutiny, indeed at what seemed like anguished scrutiny at some stages. we are disappointed that the court found against the government on one ground and we will be seeking permission to appeal this judgment. mr speaker, germany as an eu member state has banned exports to saudi arabia and so has denmark. the un describes the situation in yemen as, and i quote humanities
12:09 pm
biggest preventable disaster and the government sees fit to continue selling arms to saudi arabia during that situation. can i ask the prime minister a very simple question. does she believe there are serious ongoing violations of international humanitarian law by saudi arabia in yemen, yes or no? the right honourable gentleman knows very well be consider these issues very carefully when we are dealing with these armed export licences as has just been courted by the court. he references the situation in yemen. this cannot go on and we need political settlement. i would this cannot go on and we need political settlement. iwould remind him that the saudi led intervention was at the request of the legitimate president of yemen, following a rebel insurgency which overthrew the internationally recognised government and the intervention has been acknowledged by the united nations. my right honourable friend,
12:10 pm
the foreign secretary, held a yemen meeting on saturday expressing concerns of escalating tensions. what do we see the labour party doing? one of his mps was inviting rebel leaders of the insurgency into the house of commons. yet again, labour on the wrong side of the argument. the prime minister does not appear to understand the depth of feeling that the un, parliaments around the world and even the us senate and house, on the situation. they have warned that by the end of 2019 if the war continues to hundred 30,000 people will have lost their lives. —— 230,000 people. many of which are children under the age of five. the uk and eu law states that the government must and i quote, not granta the government must and i quote, not grant a licence if there is a clear
12:11 pm
risk that the items used might be used in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law. the government said they use the following criteria tojudge that. an said they use the following criteria to judge that. an understanding said they use the following criteria tojudge that. an understanding of saudi military procedures, continuing engagement with the saudis at the highest level and saudis at the highest level and saudi public commitments to international humanitarian law. if the saudi government says they are respecting human rights, do we then ignore all evidence on the ground in yemen and continued to sell weapons to this regime which has led to this appalling death toll already in this conflict? i have made clear, we are appealing the recent judgment. conflict? i have made clear, we are appealing the recentjudgment. the judgment is not about whether the government may be right or wrong decisions but about the decision—making process and whether it was rational. we are considering the implications of the judgment alongside the permission to appeal we are seeking. while we do this we
12:12 pm
will not grant any new licences for exports to saudi arabia and its coalition partners which may be used in the conflict in yemen. he talks about the conflict, as ijust said, let's remember why we are seeing this conflict. it was the overthrow of the internationally recognised government by rebel insurgents. we are all concerned. we are all concerned about the humanitarian situation in yemen. the shadows foreign secretary, this isn't area of concern to her, might actually listen to what the government is doing. —— this is an area of concern to her. order, order. questions must be heard and the answers must be heard. prime minister. we are all concerned about the humanitarian
12:13 pm
situation in yemen, that is why since the start of the conflict in 2015 are total commitment now stands at £770 million. we are one of the major contributors to support the humanitarian effort and ultimately, the only way to resolve this issue is through a political settlement and that is why we are supporting the efforts of the un special envoy, martin griffiths stop why is the government appealing the judgment instead of promoting a peace settle m e nt instead of promoting a peace settlement in yemen? since 2016 for three years, united nations experts have been saying that the saudi coalition has violated international humanitarian law in yemen. this air campaign has killed tens of thousands and injured and displaced many more. the government says there can be no military solution to this particular conflict, there can only be negotiated and political solution. if that is the case, why
12:14 pm
have they pumped £4.6 billion of military equipment into this brutal bombardment already? what are we to believe, as i had just said in a nswer to believe, as i had just said in answer to his last question and in a nswer to answer to his last question and in answer to the first question, the only way to ensure the security and stability of yemen in the future is through a political settlement. that is why this government is supporting the work that is being done by the un special envoy and white we are continuing to use our diplomatic efforts, including the foreign secretary holding a meeting on saturday, to encourage others on the table. we are clear we support the effo rts table. we are clear we support the efforts to secure the agreement by the parties of the conflict to infa nt the parties of the conflict to infant the stock agreement, that is an important part of the process —— to implement the stockholm agreement. we need to ensure that work is essential so progress can be
12:15 pm
made in the next round of these talks is a humanitarian supply lines can be opened up. the trade secretary said that cannot be a military solution to this government. surely the government should think on this and stop the sale of arms to saudi arabia. just last week, the un special rapporteur said there is credible evidence that the saudi crown prince and other high—level officials are personally responsible for the horrific murder ofjamal responsible for the horrific murder of jamal khashoggi. does the responsible for the horrific murder ofjamal khashoggi. does the prime minister accept that assessment? we wa nt to minister accept that assessment? we want to see accountability for this horrific murder. i raised the death ofjamal horrific murder. i raised the death of jamal khashoggi with the king at the summit. that is the second time i have done so. i raised it with the crown prince at the g20 last year. i have stressed the importance of those responsible being held to account and due process being followed. we expect saudi arabia to ta ke followed. we expect saudi arabia to take the action necessary to ensure
12:16 pm
such violations of international and national laws cannot happen again. the right way to take this is through a judicial process and we are through a judicial process and we a re closely through a judicial process and we are closely following the continuing investigation. we expect it to proceed in line with internationally recognised legal standards. there is overwhelming evidence that war crimes are being committed in yemen by saudi arabian forces. they flout every human rights norm at home and abroad. it's government believes it can kill with impunity journalists or civil rights campaigners, and civilians. it funds extremism around the world but the uk has supplied them with over four and a half billion pounds worth of deadly weapons. uk weapons which have been used in indiscriminate attacks on civilians in which 200,000 people have been killed and hundreds of
12:17 pm
thousands more stand on the brink of famine, starvation and death from preve nta ble famine, starvation and death from preventable diseases. the court of appealjudgment should preventable diseases. the court of appeal judgment should be preventable diseases. the court of appealjudgment should be a wake—up call to the prime minister and the government so instead of appealing thejudgment, why government so instead of appealing the judgment, why not accept the judgment and to stop arms sales to saudi arabia and bring about peace in the yemen and save those lives. the right honourable gentleman says bring about peace in the yemen. it is exactly what we are working with our international partners to do through the united nations and through the united nations and through yemen. the right honourable gentleman is talking about the relations that we have with saudi arabia. that is a relationship that
12:18 pm
has saved lives of british citizens in the past. let's look at some of the relationships that the right honourable gentleman supports. when people were killed in salisbury his sympathies were with russia. when terrorists were killing our people his sympathies were with the ira. in a recent attack in the gulf his sympathies were with iran. he never backs britain and he should never be prime minister. i am a firm belief that youth work is the answer to so many issues in our society. we are currently at risk of losing vital youth work and a review of these qualifications has been delayed. if it is not secured we are in danger
12:19 pm
of seeing universities and colleges drop these qualifications, will my right honourable friend ensure that this funding is signed up immediately so we can continue to train amazing youth workers? the importance of the proper training of these youth workers is important. we are committed to the qualified and trained youth sector is subject to this case, we have committed to renewing funding for these qualifications and reviewing the youth work curriculum. i know dcms are in close contact with the national youth agency and aware of the timing issues and help to make an announcement of this in the near future. can i associate myself with the remarks of the prime minister? i am happy to be supporting a badge on supporting. i hope she will secure the release of nazeen and a release
12:20 pm
from jail in the release of nazeen and a release fromjail in iran? the release of nazeen and a release from jail in iran? it was the scottish government that was the first government in the uk to declare a climate emergency and hope the uk response to leadership that scotla nd the uk response to leadership that scotland is giving on this issue. do ordie, scotland is giving on this issue. do or die, come what may, there are the words of the prime minister's likely successor. the truth of the brexit chaosis successor. the truth of the brexit chaos is encompassed in those words. the tory dream is to drag us out of the european union no matter what the european union no matter what the cost. prime minister, before you exit office will you pledge to never vote for a willing to impose devastating no—deal brexit on all of us? i have to remind the right honourable gentleman that he is due to be asking me questions about my responsibility as prime minister and
12:21 pm
i would remind responsibility as prime minister and iwould remind him, yet again responsibility as prime minister and i would remind him, yet again that as prime minister i voted three times to ensure that we can take the uk out of the european union with a deal that was good for the whole of united kingdom and he voted effectively for no deal. it is no wonder she is leaving, that's no a nswer to wonder she is leaving, that's no answer to the question. the prime minister is showing gross cowardice. on the one hand the tories are asking people to put their faith on the one hand the tories are asking people to put theirfaith in the most incompetent foreign secretary in a century. a man who has made a career out of lying. who has made a career out of lying. who has spent his week avoiding the media, staging photos and playing to the extreme delusions of the tory trials. on the other hand, we have been most incompetent health secretary in our history. a man who writes books on privatising our nhs.
12:22 pm
the conservatives clearly don't like this. someone so desperately shouts at his 30 year downing st destiny... i think the honourable gentleman has concluded his enquiry. if he has continued to do so any single sectors —— yes do so in a single sentence. i do not require any council from you, one sentence. sentence. i do not require any councilfrom you, one sentence. mr speaker, in her last days in office, was to finally act in the best interest of these islands? not the conservative party and admit that neither of the candidates for office should ever be elected prime minister. can i say either of the
12:23 pm
candidates for this high office will doa darn candidates for this high office will do a darn sight betterjob than anybody sitting on any of those benches. seldom have i had such a welcome in this house. i very much welcome the announcement that the prime minister and the secretary of state for work and the secretary of state for work and pensions made yesterday. with my right honourable friend updates the house on some of those plans and how she feels that they will enable more people living with disabilities and health conditions to play their full pa rt health conditions to play their full part in this society? can i thank my honourable friend for the work she does as ministerfor honourable friend for the work she does as minister for disabled people which sets a lot of the groundwork for the announcement were able to make on the disability strategy. there are many disabled people in our society who would love to be
12:24 pm
able to get into the workplace, one of the key issues underpinning that strategy is support for to enable them to take their full role in society and get into the workplace and make sure they have access to the support they need. i am proud of the support they need. i am proud of the fact that something like 930,000 more disabled people now in the workplace thanks to the actions of conservatives in government. more for us to do and the disability strategy sets a path to do that and enables disabled people to play the full role in our society. studio: we will leave their switch continues on bbc two and parliament and let's bring in norman smith. ian blackford livened things up, didn't he? it was a flat exchange between jeremy corbyn and theresa may. he was going on the issues he has mentioned a lot, namely the arming of saudi arabia and the role in yemen. that all went off without
12:25 pm
much fuss and then boom, ian blackford let the torch paper when he launched into borisjohnson following on from last week when he accused him of being a racist. that ignited fury on the tory benches and that was around two today when he had a similargirl. that was around two today when he had a similar girl. here is one upside of the premiership, we can look forward to labour exchanges between mr blackford and boris johnson if he makes it to number ten. the us house of representatives has approved a four—and—a—half billion dollar aid package for migrants stuck at the border with mexico. it now needs to get through the republican controlled senate, with president trump already threatening to veto the bill. it comes amid reports of children being held in squalid conditions in migrant detention centres — these reports are thought to have contributed to the resignation of the top us border official. the desperate situation faced by migrants and asylum seekers trying to cross the border from mexico into the us has been
12:26 pm
illustrated by a very upsetting and shocking photograph — a warning it's very distressing and you may not want to see it. it shows the body of a two—year—old girl, valeria, with her arm wrapped around her father as they float face down in the rio grande, which separates the united states and mexico. oscar martinez ramirez, from salvador, had been trying to help his family cross illegally after failing to gain entry. the mexican president has called their deaths very regrettable. tom hanson from cbs news is in new york. what reaction has there been to these photographs? the photo has certainly touched a nerve with many people in america. there has been a lot of outrage and sorrow on social media. it is obviously an offal image —— offal image. many are
12:27 pm
pointing to this as something that would define the crisis along the us mexico border but more than anything, i think it shows how treacherous the journey can be from people heading from latin america into mexico and the united states. it shows the bottleneck that many people face in the immigration system which simply overwhelmed. i wa nt to system which simply overwhelmed. i want to mention this is not a unique case. just over the weekend, a baby, two toddlers and young women were also found dead in south texas. they died in harsh elements after crossing the border into the area. the us house of representatives has now approved an aid package for people on the border. there needs to get through the senate which is controlled by the republicans and president trump is only threatened to veto it. what is the prospect of it getting through? that is a big question that is going to be a nswered question that is going to be answered in the coming days. the house of representatives passed that aid package aimed at protecting
12:28 pm
migrant children in federal detention centres. we try to boost standards for basic needs medical ca re standards for basic needs medical care for migrants, especially vulnerable children and as well as reinstate humanitarian aid to central america which has been cut by the trump administration. this comes by the trump administration. this co m es after by the trump administration. this comes after a searing report about a facility in clint, texas where there we re facility in clint, texas where there were disturbing conditions where more than 300 people had been removed when it emerged they had been living in squalor. -- 300 children. what will happen to these detention centres. they are close to the media and it is difficult to get scrutiny of them but reports are emerging of what is going on inside them. those reports are indicative of the sheer scale of people who are coming across the border. and the resources that are needed. some of these care facilities, simply put, cannot keep up with the sheer scale of people who are coming into the country. cbs news has learned
12:29 pm
specifically about that one care centre and that 100 children were returned their and the border protection said they are using that facility again to help streamline the transfer of migrant children to the transfer of migrant children to the department of health and human services. lawyers who inspected that facility last week told us they found children without sufficient food, access to soap and showers, and sleeping on concrete floors. that is just a small portion of the people who are coming through the country and people being cared for in that specific facility. some personnel have cast doubt on those allegations none the less, this facility now finds itself at the centre of a debate over president trump's immigration policies. it is only going to heat up in the coming days. thank you very much. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz shaffernacker
12:30 pm
here in the uk we are as cool as a cucumber compared to many parts of europe with that intense heat wave thatis europe with that intense heat wave that is developing. the hot air is coming out of the sahara and spreading across france and germany, further north to poland as well. on the other side of the channel we are keeping things cooler and on the north sea coast, around scarborough, temperatures could only be around 12-15d temperatures could only be around 12—15d on the actual seafront. for most of us it will be in the high teens and low 20s. sunshine in scotla nd teens and low 20s. sunshine in scotland and northern ireland for the best of the weather today. sunny in the south to later on. very little happens tonight. they will be cool spots in the north—east of england and around yorkshire, may be as low as 5 degrees but for most of us, not quite so cool and tomorrow, gloriously sunny day to come with temperatures into the low and maybe mid 20s. bye.
12:31 pm
hello this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines. a multi billion dollar aid package for migrant families detained after entering the us is partially approved, as images of a father and daughter, drowned in the rio grande, emerge. the two rivals for the conservative leadership continue to clash over whether the uk should comit to leaving the eu
12:32 pm
on october the 31st. theresa may and jeremy corbyn clash over arms sales to saudi arabia at prime minister's questions. the bbc discovers that moors murderer ian brady was allowed to mix with vulnerable young prisoners for more than five years, even after one claimed that brady had had sex with him. what happened and what he did in prisons, i think, is not extraordinary. actually i think happens and has happened every day for years. temperature records are likely to be broken across europe, as an early summer heatwave sweeps across the continent. san francisco has become the first american city to ban sales of e—cigarettes until their health effects are clearer. yesterday officials voted to stp selling the vaporisers and made it illegal for online retailers to deliver to addresses in the city. san francisco's mayor, london breed, has 10 days to sign off the legislation,
12:33 pm
and the law will come into force seven months from that date. let's speak now to martin dockrell, the tobacco control lead at public health england. thank you forjoining us. what is your reaction to that mood in san francisco? it strikes us as... or would that it is legal to remain legal to buy cigarettes and alcohol or to buy cannabis, but illegal to buy e—cigarette even though the us academy of sciences have found them to be found far less harmful than smoking. so i guess it is not the approach we are likely to take in this country. here we think the legislation should be proportionate to the rest. and what would you say the risk is? the actual evidence of harm is extremely small for e—cigarettes. these cigarettes are
12:34 pm
likely to be at least 95% less harmful than smoked tobacco. but smoked tobacco is externally harmful. e—cigarette are far less harmful. e—cigarette are far less harmful than smoking. that is where the concern comes on in san francisco. they do cause harm. and it is very hard to quantify it at the moment because of the potential, the moment because of the potential, the concerns for the long—term effects that cannot be measured at the moment. perhaps, but it is not at all difficult to ascertain the dangers of tobacco, alcohol or cannabis. smoking tobacco kills half of all long—term users. it is the most hazardous consumer product available in the uk or the us. but when cigarettes came and it was not clear was it? and that took a long time to build. we have very good science now which allows us to ascertain the harms from tobacco. similarly we can analyse all the chemicals in e—cigarettes. the
12:35 pm
exposure to chemicals is just way lower and harmful camels don't like chemicals particularly full supply of studies analyse them and compare them to smoking and consistently we find the level of what we cut toxica nts find the level of what we cut toxicants or find the level of what we cut toxica nts or poisons find the level of what we cut toxicants or poisons away smaller and e—cigarette than tobacco smoke. there is no doubt that e—cigarettes are far less harmful than smoking. on the concerns around the harms, obviously i hear completely what your saying about a comparison to cigarettes how it is another world in terms of the level of harm, but, there are concerns around the impact on the body's cardiovascular system. there are concerns that particles from the thing damage the lungs. there are concerns that particles from the thing damage the lungsm you are not a smoker, then there is no reason to smack smoking. if you're a smoker, in terms of your
12:36 pm
lung health, your heart health, your risk of cancer, the risks from e—cigarettes are far smaller. we would encourage any cigarette smoker to try vapour and for any vapours to com pletely to try vapour and for any vapours to completely stop smoking. because it is smoking that is harmful. the nikon comes from smoking. you're much better switching to vaping. use it if you're not a smoker, there is no reason to start saving. in the united states, the concerns also sent around the fact that people are starting to vapour who have never smoked before. are starting it. in fa ct, smoked before. are starting it. in fact, the detailfrom smoked before. are starting it. in fact, the detail from the smoked before. are starting it. in fact, the detailfrom the uk smoked before. are starting it. in fact, the detail from the uk shows that almost all regular vapours, both adult and youth are current or previous smoker. so regular e—cigarette users, among young people in the uk, are almost all smokers or ex—smokers. less than half of 1% of young people who have
12:37 pm
never tried smoking, a regular vapours. so those numbers are really small. definitely, we would not encourage young people to start vaping. the opinions not risk—free. but if you are a smoker, it is a very good idea to switch from vaping to smoking and we should not allow anything to obscure that message. thank you very much forjoining us. my thank you very much forjoining us. my pleasure. ivan cooper, one of the founders of northern ireland's civil rights movement, has died aged 75 after a long period of ill health. mr cooper was one of the leaders of the civil rights march in londonderry in 1972 that ended in 13 people being shot dead on bloody sunday. he was a founding member of the social democratic and labour party and played a major role in the northern ireland civil rights association. a bbc investigation has found that the moors murderer ian brady, who tortured, sexually assaulted and murdered five children between 1963 and 1965, was allowed to mix with vulnerable young prisoners for more than five years during his lifelong sentence. it happened at wormwood scrubs prison in the 1970s and 1980s. newly released home office files
12:38 pm
reveal that even after one young prisoner alleged that brady had had sex with him, no action was taken for several months. sanchia berg has this exclusive report. ian brady was, for decades, one of britain's most notorious prisoners. with myra hindley, he'd tortured and murdered five children, buried their bodies on saddleworth moor. both were sentenced to life in prison. brady stayed in the highest category for security. yet while here, in wormwood scrubs, brady was allowed to live in the prison hospitalfor more than five years, mixing with vulnerable teenagers, boys sent from borstal with mental health problems. according to government files just released, he said he'd go on hunger strike if moved. he was supported by lord longford, campaigner for prison reform.
12:39 pm
one prisoner alleged brady had six of them. it is difficult to imagine that happening. do you think it is quite shocking? yes definitely. few months after that, brady was made. the files here at the national archives show that even from the elements in the prison hospital, he displayed an unhealthy interest in adolescent inmates over the years. complaints were made and raised but nothing was done. authorities were worried that if ian brady complained and went on hunger site, lord longford would step in again. the ministry ofjustice said there have been huge changes in the last 40 yea rs. been huge changes in the last 40 years. that allegations of sexual assault are taken extreme seriously and reported to the police.
12:40 pm
earlier my colleague annita mcveigh spoke to dr laura janes, the legal director at the howard league for penal reform. obviously, it is a terrible situation for anyone in custody to be subjected to sexual harm. going into custody is about deprivation of liberty, not actively exposing people to criminal harm. what i do know in our work at the howard league for penal reform, we have a specialist legal advice line for children and young adults aged 21 and under, is we do come across young adults, aged 21 and younger, and we do come across young adults who experience sexual assault in custody today. that is a real concern. do you think if you compare the 1970s and 1980s, and now, do you think things have changed significantly? do you think of someone like a chief medical officer were to raise concerns, that those concerns would be, you know, left to one side for up to five years? do you think that young inmates would be placed in a situation where they would be in close contact with the sort of offender
12:41 pm
that ian brady was? well, clearly, one would hope there have been huge changes. what we do know is that the independent enquiry on child sexual abuse, for children aged under 18, reported earlier this year and found there have been over 1000 allegations from children in respect to sexual abuse, from children in custody. when i was giving evidence to that enquiry and looking over the case files and work we had done at the howard league over the last ten years, what really struck me was the number of young adults in that situation. just because you turn 18, it doesn't mean you are suddenly a full adult with all the full attributes of maturity. the courts have recognised that. in fact, young adults can be extremely vulnerable, because they can still have features of childhood but none of the protections. if the independent enquiry into child sexual abuse is saying it is happening and children are still at risk of sexual harm,
12:42 pm
then surely that must apply to young adults. the problem is no one has looked at this in sufficient detail. to be clear today, in the prison system as it exists, any young people, whether they are 18, just over 18 or under 18, are they coming into contact with much older prisoners or not? under 18's — generally not. that would be a rare exception, it is not unheard of. over 18s should be placed in a young offenders institution for 18 to 21—year—olds. are there enough places of that type? this is the issue. most adult prisons are dual designated as both young offender institutions for young adults and for older adults, so that is an increased risk now, and much greater increased risk than in the recent past of young adults coming into contact with older prisoners.
12:43 pm
if that age group of prisoner are placed in these young offenders institutions, what difference does that make to their future prospects in your opinion? i'm talking not only of course about them being protected from the risk of sexual assault or abuse but in terms of outcomes, returning to society and so on? at the howard league for penal reform, we are very clear that prison is generally harmful, it does not work. it increases the chances of reoffending and disrupts prosocial activities... for this age group. absolutely. they are still developing. we know from medical research that their brains are not fully formed until the age of 25. you are taking away those really crucial, adolescent years so custody can be really harmful for that reason alone, let alone on top of the risk of this kind of abuse. with the information that's coming to light about ian brady and i know you need to look into that in more
12:44 pm
detail, what do you hope that everyone working in this area will take from this investigation? i think the bbc has shone a light here. it is really important that we think really carefully in how the systemic the systemic overview of the risk to young adults in custody. we managed to do that for children. let's have a look at young adults. there are various safeguards in place. the safeguards such as the ombudsman and the inspector of prisons, they are meaningless if young people feel they cannot come forward and actually perhaps i will read you a line from a young adult in respect of whom we brought a judicial review, who had been sexually assaulted in custody and he is explaining here why he did not come forward earlier. he said, "i felt intimidated because he, the abuser was a lot bigger than me." "the reason i took too long to say anything," —
12:45 pm
and this young person had a learning disability — "it was because i felt scared." "i felt like staff would not believe me and he, the abuser said not to tell anyone." until we create a much stronger culture where people feel able and confident to come forward, there is still a real risk that this will continue. a heatwave is moving across southern europe and is expected to hit records forjune temperatures. large parts of france are on red alert over searing heat and humidity, with even higher temperatures forecast for spain and italy. germany is among countries that have imposed termporary restrictions on traffic and vehicle speed because the heat, caused by a plume of hot airfrom the sahara, can damage highways and lead to higher pollution levels. earlier our paris correspondent hugh schofield gave this update on the weather in the french capital. it will be 33 or 34 degrees in
12:46 pm
paris. it may be up to 40 in places to the south of the country where it does get very hot regularly. preparations here in france, in paris, are certainly going ahead. there is an element of a communications programme in all of this. if you go around the cities did take, people are not rushing for cold rooms. you are seeing people very cold rooms. you are seeing people very aware cold rooms. you are seeing people very aware of the heat and of the need to act to limit the heat in their homes. that is because there has been a big pr campaign to remind people of what to do by the government. 2003 memories very much alive. but this will not last and it will be over by the weekend. it is not a city gripped by fear. if it is a story, and it is a story, it is not because of people suffering here. it is because of the questions it may raise about global warming. and what is unusual about this is that it and what is unusual about this is thatitis and what is unusual about this is that it is early in the year. not that it is early in the year. not that it is early in the year. not thatitis that it is early in the year. not that it is particularly intense but that it is particularly intense but that it is particularly intense but thatitis that it is particularly intense but that it is injune. people are saying that you can't specifically
12:47 pm
link this to over one, you can say that spells like this are very hot weather are likely to become more frequent and that is why it may be significant. and our rome correspondent james reynolds has been monitoring temperatures in italy... italy is used to having hot summers but it is used to having them in july and august. it can deal with hot temperatures. the difference now is that it has leaked june. it has come earlier. here is what you can do enrolled. if you are walking around the street you can see drinking fountains. you are entitled to dunk your head under those fountains and get a refreshing strea m fountains and get a refreshing stream of water. but if you carry on walking to the trevi fountain, you are not allowed to jump walking to the trevi fountain, you are not allowed tojump into walking to the trevi fountain, you are not allowed to jump into the fountain as bath swimming pill or film set. one drunken tourist was fined around 450 euros. summer rules do not waive those fines. meanwhile in germany some commuters have been going to extreme
12:48 pm
lengths to stay cool on their travels. brandenburg police officers stopped a gentleman trying to ride his motorbike in the nude this morning. they took to twitter to remind drivers to remain clothed even in the hot weather, captioning the post #safetyfirst. kim kardashian west is at the centre of another social media storm as her new shapewear brand faces a backlash. this time it's over kimonos as she releases her new brand kimono intimates. there's anger on social media injapan that the robe, considered the country's national dress, is being disrespected by the new trademarked brand. our correspondent mariko oi has the latest. i have to say, i have not seen this much anger, this much rage on social media injapan in a long time. but basically, people are accusing her of disrespecting the japanese culture. others are simply asking "why?" because the actual kimono looks nothing like her underwear.
12:49 pm
except of course for the fact that her name is in the world kimono. so the hashtag kimohno started trending. others have been tweeting, 2our culture isn't your underwear". or "don't steal our culture". because for us japanese, kimono is something you wear on special occasions. so i wore mine on my wedding day, i also wore it when my daughter turned one. it is also very personal. so for example my late grandmother gave them to my mother who then gave them to me. and i hope my daughter will wear them one day as well. that is why people are rather stunned and upset about it. there is a question of whether she did this as a marketing strategy. because everyone, including ourselves, or covering the backlash. and good or bad, her brand is getting a lot of exposure. but because she has trademarked the word in the united states, others are also asking if this means a japanese company in the us wanting to sell the actual kimono is no longer
12:50 pm
allowed to use the word. the singer sheryl crow has told the bbc that original recordings of some of her biggest hits were destroyed in a huge fire at universal studios. the master tapes were kept in a vault in los angeles which went up in flames 11 years ago. it's estimated half a million songs were lost. mark savage reports. for 11 years, universal music has said that the warehouse fire in los angeles had a limited impact on its archives. but now, the new york times estimates that 500,000 songs were lost, by artists such as chuck berry, aretha franklin, elton john and nirvana. sheryl crow is the first major artist to confirm her master recordings were destroyed, along with the backups, known as safeties. well, that's where all my masters were stored, and itjust... it absolutely grieves me. i can't understand, first and foremost, how you could store
12:51 pm
anything in a vault that didn't have sprinklers, and secondly, i can't understand how you could make safeties and have them in the same vault. i mean, what's the point? # all i wanna do is have some fun... for a song like all i wanna do, the master tape is the original studio recording. it is the one you go back to if you want to make new cds or vinyl copies. sheryl crow says all of those are gone, and she is not the only one affected. universal music says the damage caused by the fire has been overstated, but admitted that any loss is painful. mark savage, bbc news. in the hunt for renewable energy, electric batteries are increasingly being presented as a solution, but the growing demand for recharging them could put stress on the national grid. so could battery storage power plants be an answer to the green energy problem?
12:52 pm
our business correspondent susannah streeter has been to a site in packington that provides back up to leicestershire's power supply. they are quieter, do not belch out diesel fumes and offer a smoother ride. now a fleet of nine electric buses transport passengers on the route. i approve of electric, of everything you are trying to do here. we are doing a lot of it in a country to but this is a lovely smooth ride and it gets is where we wa nt smooth ride and it gets is where we want to go. they are fantastic. much better than the old ones. want to go. they are fantastic. much better than the old oneslj want to go. they are fantastic. much better than the old ones. i noticed that the fumes and the smell are much better with these news electric buses than they were with the diesel buses. and the driver tells me the air in his cab is much cleaner. the diesel ones, the diesel is flowing around as we are going along. it
12:53 pm
comes through the vents. but these, there is no diesel, only what is outside. do you feel better? yes. so why aren't more companies switching over and going fully electric? it is to do with the huge metal enraged energy these buses need. the battery on the roof has a 200 mile range which means they don't need to be topped up during the day. instead, the fleet needs to be charged overnight. but the amount of electricity would suck out of the grid in one go to to turn the lights out right across town. the solution is energy storage. here at the bus depot on the outskirts of town, an energy storage system half the size of the shipping container has been installed. it is charged during the day using energy during the great, building upa day using energy during the great, building up a surplus ready to be used to charge up the buses when they return at night. larger all electric fleets are being introduced
12:54 pm
later this year in other cities like york, nottingham and brighton. as more people opt for electric cars, storing energy for use at peak times as likely to become a greater priority. among these passengers, there was some scepticism about that transition. what happens after four yea rs transition. what happens after four years when the whole thing was flat? i have one of those cars. i have a vault, i plug it in every night and it is lovely. what happens when the batteries go flat? so far i have not had that as a problem. yes, but it is early days! jeremy hunt has been in chelmsford today. we can hear a bit of what he hasn't seen. you should only, if you wa nt to hasn't seen. you should only, if you want to be prime minister, we got very close to the 31st of october. we had a deal, i would not rip it up
12:55 pm
because of an arbitrary date. but if we get to the end of october, and there is not ideal or the prospect ofa there is not ideal or the prospect of a deal, then i would leave without a deal. because in the end, this is a country where politicians do what people say. people said they wa nted do what people say. people said they wanted to leave and leave we must. we got very close to the 31st of october, we had a deal and it was just going through parliament, i am not to wreck the whole thing up just because of an arbitrary date. but, if we get to the end of october and there isn't ideal or the prospect of a deal, then i would leave without a deal. because in the end, this is a country where politicians do what the people say. the people said they wa nted the people say. the people said they wanted to leave, and leaving us. yes, you did heat it twice. he was talking about sticking to that deadline which borisjohnson has also said he would do or die. in a moment it's time for the one o'clock news.
12:56 pm
but first it's time for a look at the weather. as that extreme heatwave builds across europe, there are sunny skies across europe, there are sunny skies across portugal and france and much of the continent. a few wisps across the uk. for some of us, a cloudy day today particularly around the north—east. yorkshire, the midlands, parts of wales. best of the sunshine around scotland and northern ireland. later in the day, across the southern counties. the sun should be out. very modest temperatures today. around 15 on the north sea coast. high teens for many of us. maybe sweeping 22 or 23 in one or two spots. maybe in the lowla nds one or two spots. maybe in the lowlands of scotland. very little change for tonight. in fact, it will turn quite nippy believer to not in the north—east of england. temperatures could get around to 5 degrees. notjust temperatures could get around to 5 degrees. not just the temperatures could get around to 5 degrees. notjust the north—east but parts of yorkshire. tomorrow, we
12:57 pm
loose all the cloud and it is going to bea loose all the cloud and it is going to be a spectacularly sunny day. remember, very powerful sunshine this time of the year. temperatures will be higher as well. we could hit the mid 20s in one or two spots. the lowla nds the mid 20s in one or two spots. the lowlands of scotland, and the south too. high pressure close to the uk means very too. high pressure close to the uk means very settled sunny conditions. that high will also draw some of the heat from the south. you can see how red—hot france and italy are. the heat pushing into parts of germany and poland. iwill heat pushing into parts of germany and poland. i will not see a would—be excruciating but temperatures will be rising by the time we get to saturday. friday is still a relatively cool day. temperatures of around about 27 degrees. 18 on the north sea coast. then we see a dramatic rise across some central and eastern parts of the uk. the wind is blowing straight
12:58 pm
out of france, that inferno across the channel. temperatures up to 40 degrees in france. top temperatures here in the uk will probably hit around 32 over the weekend. but take around 32 over the weekend. but take a look at these excruciatingly hot values.
12:59 pm
1:00 pm
the us border crisis deepens as a photo emerges of a father and daughter dead in a river, trying to cross from mexico to texas. there's been a public outcry about the treatment of thousands of migrant families held in poor conditions in us camps. right now little children are enduring trauma and terror. many are living in squalor at border patrol stations. some are sleeping on the cold ground without warm blankets or hot meals. a multi—billion dollar aid package has been proposed. we'll be live in washington for the latest. also this lunchtime. the rivals for the conservative leadership continue to clash over whether the uk should commit to leaving the eu on october 31st. the bbc learns that the moors murderer ian brady was allowed
