mr williamson, the mp for derby north, had been suspended for saying the party was "too apologetic" about anti—semitism. but after a hearing by a panel of the national executive committee, it was announced he would be reinstated. among those signing the statement of protest are 11 labour frontbenchers, including deputy leader tom watson. in it, they say... they add... joining me now from westminster is our political correspondent nick eardley. it isa it is a growing row tonight in the labour party over mr williams and's future. what is interesting in that

letter is not just future. what is interesting in that letter is notjust these 90 parliamentarians, including the deputy leader attack, mr williams and my previous comments, but they are laying it out the door ofjeremy corbyn now, saying that he has take the decision to suspend mr williamson from the party whip. mr williamson from the party whip. mr williamson is a long—standing ally of the labour leader and somebody who has been close to him throughout their political history, but clearly, the party is now saying to mrcorbin, clearly, the party is now saying to mr corbin, some are saying anyway, you need to deal with this. this row started last night, when the decision to reinstate mr williamson was announced, there was a lot of angry reaction on twitter. 0ne was announced, there was a lot of angry reaction on twitter. one of the mps who criticise the decision was the jewish mp, the mps who criticise the decision was thejewish mp, margaret hodge, who said that it showed the party would overlook what she called jew hate. mr williamson was asked this morning about this comments.

if anybody examines my record as an antiracist campaigner all my life, i'm frankly astonished that she could make such an appalling accusation actually. there is no foundational justification for it whatsoever and i hope that she will kind of reflect on that and i would like to think she will withdraw it. the argument from the labour party is that this was an independent process , is that this was an independent process, there were three people who looked at the case, two of them said it shouldn't go any further. there isa it shouldn't go any further. there is a significant pressure onjeremy corbyn to now act. we haven't heard from his team since the letter from there was a 90 parliamentarians was released a couple of hours ago. before that letter came out, jeremy corbyn had this response. we deal with anti—semitism very, very seriously, there is no place for anti—semitism in our society and obviously not in our party as well. anyone that makes anti—semitic remarks can expect to be at the very least, reprimanded, and if they are very

serious and they engage in anti—semitic activity, then they are expelled from the party. the problem is, how many times have we been here before? hearing debates within the labour party about the handling of accusations of anti—semitism. we heard in the last hour from the deputy leader of the party, tom watson, saying that he and his allies, those who have signed this letter, need to stay and fight and make sure that the party deals with it seriously. there are others saying, where is your red line? if you are so angry about what is going on, at what point do you say, we have lost the fight within the labour party? the leadership said, as you heard from jeremy corbyn, it is being taken seriously, that anti—semitism is something that is not welcome in the labour party, and they will do everything they can to get rid of it. the problem jeremy corbyn has is that this letter shows that many of his mps do not believe

him. thank you, nick. we are hoping to talk to one of the mps who signed that letter tojeremy corbyn in the next few minutes. a witness who was on a train where a passenger was stabbed to death has told a court that the alleged attacker appeared to tell someone on his phone that he was about to kill the man. darren pencille denies murdering lee pomeroy on a train from guildford to london injanuary. sarah walton has been following the trial at the old bailey. bring us up—to—date, sarah. bring us up-to-date, sarah. that is right. she told the court today that she was in the carriage when the attack happened this year. she told us attack happened this year. she told us that she hired lee pomeroy say, i've never dealt with anyone with special needs before. she then saw darren pencille with fm to his face saying, i'm going to kill this man. she was asked by darren pencille‘s

defence lawyer if lee pomeroy was picking on darren pencille. she said, i wouldn't say he was picking on him, but he was taunting him. the jury on him, but he was taunting him. the jury here also heard from another lady, sarah, a former girlfriend of darren pencille, they also have a child together. she said in the hours following the attack, she received a phone call from her boyfriend and she said, i have done something bad and you will see it on the news later. darren pencille also sent her a text later that night and said, i'm sorry, and i love you both. this afternoon, the court has also heard from darren pencille‘s mother. she told the court that in his 20s, darren pencille was told that he was paranoid and had paranoid schizophrenia, and that he had been admitted to hospital on several occasions. under cross—examination, she said that darren pencille was not good in crowded situations, he thought people were looking at him and wa nted people were looking at him and wanted to do something to him. she

agreed that her son had real difficulties on public transport, there were times when he had rang herfrom a bus in a panic. darren pencille denies murder and the trial here at the old bailey continues. thank you, sarah. boris johnson and jeremy hunt face questions from conservative party members tonight — in the second official hustings of the leadership campaign. both men have been giving more policy detail — mrjohnson is promising changes to the immigration system if he becomes prime minister, with an australian style points system. mr hunt says he will cancel the tuition fee debts for those graduates who go on to become entrepreneurs setting up businesses of their own. 0ur political correspondent helena wilkinson reports. keeping his campaign afloat. jeremy hunt arrived on the isle of wight earlier. his wife, lucia, by his side, the self—confessed underdog made quite an interest.

can i kiss granny? supporters aside, jeremy hunt made a new pledge, a promise to young people who set up a business. i want to encourage our brightest, best young graduates to get out there and do what bill gates did, what mark zuckerberg did, create the great companies of the future. my plan says if you are going to take the risk, manage to set up a successful business, we will cancel your tuition fees. not far away, boris johnson arrived ahead of tonight's hustings. he promised changes to the immigration system based on the australian style if he became prime minister. one of the reasons people voted to take back control of our immigration system was they wanted democratic oversight of it and what we would be able to do with a points—based system is to decide exactly how many people we'll need in each sector, and that will be subject to parliamentary control.

what has been the reaction? they promised pretty sizeable tax cuts. in borisjohnson‘s case that is people in higher thresholds. that benefits people earning over £50,000 per year. jeremy hunt has promised increases in spending, particularly on defence. as the two candidates take part in further hustings, we will get to hear more about their policies on other issues. but what is not clear is how much anything other than brexit will influence a decision of tory party members when it comes to their vote. joining me now is immigration law specialist and associate director at law firm lewis silkin, joanna hunt. thank you forjoining us. this australian style points system that borisjohnson has talked about,

explain how that works. a points—based system operates by awarding points to visa applicants for certain personal characteristics. so, a person's age, their level of skill, their employment history, their competency in english, they will be awarded points for that. if they reach a certain total, they will be given a visa, and that will allow them to enter a country and work for an employer they want to and take up anyjob that employer they want to and take up any job that they find. the employer they want to and take up anyjob that they find. the key difference is that they don't have to have an employer in a country offering them a job. so as long as they have a number of points required, they can come? yes, exactly. so, if we introduce something like that, what difference would it make to our immigration system ? would it make to our immigration syste m ? h ow would it make to our immigration system? how would that change it? interestingly, we still have a points—based system, it has been around for ten years. it was introduced by the last labour government. it consists of five tiers and governs how people from beyond the eu can work in the uk.

thing was, pretty quickly after it set up, it was watered down. it was never operated in a purely points—based way. the point—scoring is largely symbolic, mainly due to lobbying for various industries, so currently, it is a point —based system in name only. there has been one category which did operate in a points—based way, but that was actually closed in 2011 by the conservative government. they found many of the visa holders well working in what they were thought to be quite menialjobs, so it was not operating in a way that was cutting net migration, or attracting skilled labour into skilled jobs. we know there are labour shortages in several key fields in this country, people talk about the health service a lot, with a points system really help those requirements that we have for labour in the right areas? help those requirements that we have for labour in the right areas7m really depends on how we operate, and right now, we do not have enough

information. we have quite a convenient sound bite, which operates very well and plays well to the electorate. what we need is detail, because we have been here before, it hasn't worked in the past, so we need to know how the new system will be different. and how it will avoid problems such as discrimination, in that it favours people who are younger. it also tends to favour male applicants and people from predominantly white countries. you talked about australia, what is the view there? do people think it has been successful? it is seen as successful, mainly because it has attracted labour to that country. it has actually increased net migration by attracting the so—called brightest and best. studies show that pure points—based systems are not at all to cut numbers, they are to attract people, and if that is what boris johnson to attract people, and if that is what borisjohnson wants, that is what borisjohnson wants, that is what he will get. so, just to sum it up, it doesn't necessarily cut immigration numbers? not if it

operates in a purely points—based way. thank you forjoining us. immigration lawyer there, thank you for your time. the french company which owns vauxhall says its ellesmere port plant in cheshire will be one of two sites in europe where it will build the next generation astra. but the psa group has said its decision is conditional on what it describes as "the final terms of the uk's exit" from the eu. the factory on merseyside employs over a thousand workers. the time is 5:14pm. the headlines on bbc news: labour mps call on jeremy corbyn to overturn the decision to allow his ally — chris williamson — back into the party following anti—semitism allegations. a jury hears that the man accused of stabbing lee pomeroy to death held a phone to his face and said "i'm going to kill this man." the two contenders to be the next tory leader and next prime minister clash over their policies, ahead of more hustings this evening.

it is the start of the women's world cup. england face norway tonight, and his side are happy, and ready to win. west indies are chasing 269 for victory against india in the cricket world cup, and well cut elimination for them is getting closer as they struggle. liam brady has missed out on a place in the main draw of wimbledon. he was beaten in the third round of qualifying by the french man gregoire. i will have more on those stories just after 5:30pm. let's get more now on the news that 90 labour mps and peers have criticised the decision to readmit mp chris williamson back into the party. joining me now from liverpool is labour mp and signatory of the letter challenging jeremy corbyn over the decision to readmit mp chris williamson to the party, dame louise ellman.

thank you forjoining us. the ruling national executive committee panel have had their say on this, why are you challenging that and challenging jeremy corbyn to remove the whip from chris williamson? we keep hearing from jeremy corbyn that the labour party is serious about dealing with anti—semitism and hatred towards jewish dealing with anti—semitism and hatred towardsjewish people. again, this shows it is not the case. in the situation of chris williamson, the situation of chris williamson, the officials looking at the complaints against him ruled that this should proceed to the next stage of the enquiry, where he could be expelled. the enquiry panel put together at short notice with changes in membership decided on a majority vote to overturn that ruling from the official who looked at the detail of what happened, and to basically let him off. i don't think you'll be too worried about a mark beside his name and a warning. 0nce mark beside his name and a warning. once again, the labour party has fallen short, and the only way this

can be dealt with now is forjeremy corbyn as the leader to actually show some leadership and take this on. you are saying he should effectively overturn the decision of the national executive committee panel? jeremy corbyn says he was not involved in this decision, it was an independent panel, they examined the case and they have decided to let him back in, that is whatjeremy corbyn says. the equalities and human rights commission is already investigating the labour party for anti—semitism, and one of the areas it is looking at is where officials connected with jeremy it is looking at is where officials connected withjeremy corbyn‘s office have interfered in the process of looking at complaints. this appears to be a very similar situation and that is whyjeremy corbyn has to step in. what is it exactly that so angry about, what mr williamson said? he said today he has campaigned against racism all his life and he is not a racist in any shape or form. there are many people who claim to have campaigned

against racism all their lives, but somehow have prejudice towards jewish people, which is put in a different category, amongst other things, chris williamson did suggest that the labour party had been too soft and had been listening to too many people who wanted the party to do more about anti—semitism. that isn't really something that he should be proud about. again, jeremy corbyn said today, we deal with anti—semitism very, very seriously, there is no place for anti—semitism in our society and obviously not in oui’ in our society and obviously not in our party. that is whatjeremy corbyn says, are you effectively saying you don't believe him when he says that? jeremy corbyn makes these statements, but his actions do not support those statements, and if he wa nts to support those statements, and if he wants to show that what he says is what he means, he should get involved now and use the powers he does have as leader to remove the whip, to continue to remove the whip from chris williamson and ask the

chief whip to start an investigation on this. 0therwise, chief whip to start an investigation on this. otherwise, the lies that jeremy corbyn spreads, he doesn't ta ke jeremy corbyn spreads, he doesn't take any action against anti—semitism unless he is forced to do so. this row within the party but anti—semitism has been going on for so anti—semitism has been going on for so long. how worried are you about the damage that it is doing to your electoral prospects? i'm extremely concerned about the situation. the labour party is supposed to be an anti—racist party, but you can't be opposed to jewish anti—racist party, but you can't be opposed tojewish people and turn a blind eye to prejudice towards jewish people if you're an anti—racist party. the fact that the equalities and human rights commission is at this very moment conducting a statutory investigation into the labour party for institutional anti—semitism is a blight on the party. the only other political party the commission has investigated in this way was the british national party, not terrible company for us to be in. thank you, dame louise ellman, live from

liverpool. the german chancellor angela merkel has been seen shaking once again during a ceremony in berlin this morning, eight days after the same thing happened. the german leader appeared uncomfortable and gripped her arms as her body trembled. last week, she appeared in a similar state of discomfort when she met the ukrainian president, but blamed it on dehydration. a spokesperson says the chancellor is absolutely fine and is setting off for the g20 summit injapan as planned. there's a warning today that police are not collecting enough dna the duke and duchess of sussex will undertake an official visit to south africa this autumn. their recently born son archie will be joining them for their first official tour as a family. the duke will also undertake a working visit to botswana, while they are in the region. there's a warning today that police are not collecting enough dna from suspects questioned about sexual offences and violent crime. the biometrics commissioner says public safety is now at serious risk because more suspects are being questioned

on a voluntary basis — which means officers can't automatically take dna and fingerprint samples. the commissioner, paul wiles, says such samples used to be taken routinely, before restrictions on police arrest powers were introduced seven years ago. the home office says it's looking at options to maintain a balance between public protection and privacy. professor wilesjoins me now from westminster. thank you forjoining us. just explain a little bit more about why you are so explain a little bit more about why you are so worried. because the police use of dna historically has been based on collecting two databases. been based on collecting two data bases. 0ne been based on collecting two databases. one is a database of dna found at crime seems and the other isa found at crime seems and the other is a person —based database, taken when people are arrested for interviews for a crime. —— crime scenes. when they take the dna, they search it against the crime scene dna database. search it against the crime scene dna data base. that search it against the crime scene dna database. that means if that person has any connection to any other crime, the police will know

about it and connected. the problem now is that in the past, whereas almost everybody at the police interviews would have been arrested, now, somewhere about one third in some cases, sometimes more, in some forces are some cases, sometimes more, in some forces a re not some cases, sometimes more, in some forces are not being arrested, they are being asked to voluntarily give an interview to the police. if that happens, the police have no legal power to take dna at that stage. they can only take it if they decide subsequently to proceed against that individual. that means that the additions to the person centred dna database have additions to the person centred dna data base have been additions to the person centred dna database have been going down, and therefore, the probability of finding offenders connected to other crimes is also declining. when you say going down, how much has that database, which are so important to the police, how much has not shrunk in recent years? over the last ten yea rs, in recent years? over the last ten years, new additions to it each year have roughly halved. and so, you

think that is concerning in terms of the police's ability to carry out basic detective work? well, it raises questions about how useful the whole dna database is going to be in the past. it has been very important to the police, but it is pretty obvious to see why, but if the number of offenders were people being interviewed, whose dna is taken, declines to this extent, then that obviously raises questions about the utility of that database. the home office say what they have to do is maintain the right balance between public protection and privacy. are you saying essentially, if somebody is interviewed by the police on a voluntary basis, they should still be made to give their dna? no, i'm not necessarily saying that. indeed, if you think about it, it would be odd if the police were to say to somebody, we would like to voluntarily interview you, but if you agree to that, we will take your dna and fingerprints. that would be a strange situation. i think the problem here is that the balance

between privacy and investigating crime was decided in the past on a legal basis, when the police were given the power to take dna from individuals they arrested. the problem is that what has happened is that an unintended consequence of subsequent guidelines that the home office have issued, one that is appropriate to arrest someone. i accept there is no straightforward a nswer to accept there is no straightforward answer to this, but clearly, some a nswer answer to this, but clearly, some answer needs to be found. thank you very much, the biometrics commissioner, thank you for your time. the food delivery company uber eats says it has tightened up the way restaurants join the platform, after bbc news successfully registered a fake takeaway on the site and was able to process orders. the company says it's deeply concerned by the incident and is now carrying out an audit of all food outlets on the platform. 0ur correspondent angus crawford reports. fancy a burger from london's newest takeaway?

time to make it official, by signing up to the delivery platform uber eats. within days, instructions and equipment delivered by courier. i've told them i don't yet have a hygiene rating, but promise to get one. so the best burger corporation, or bbc, is open for business. no checks, no proof of id, and crucially, no hygiene inspection. but still, i'm up and frying in my front garden. and there is an order on the way. the best burger. from food safety expert, mark, who is just down the road. 0rder has been taken. that's really shocking. that's quite shocking. ok, so, that's one plain burger, get that, a little bit of garnish... within minutes, my very first order is picked up. moments later, it is delivered.

uber eats, great, thank you very much. what you think of what happened today? i could not be more shocked. i am astonished by what i saw, but also, very alarmed. it's not warm, it's rather cold. we are in desperate times, it seems to me, if very large food delivery platforms can be operating in this way. what do you think of that? i am almost speechless with horror about that. aside from wanting to comment on your own hygiene practices. that driver appeared, looked at where you produced that food, took it and went. that's just horrifying. uber eats told us...

so, how can you know if a takeaway is clean or not? in wales, hygiene ratings have to be displayed in a shop window, but that law doesn't apply online. the welsh government says it should come across the uk. i just bought this today from a takeaway with a hygiene rating of just one. so when you are going into order food on any one of those apps, i want to make sure that as a consumer, you have that choice and information in front of you. so if the big food delivery companies won't change, you will make them change? yes. deliveroo and uber eats don't show individual hygiene ratings, but say they hope to in the future. following our investigation last year, just eat did start a trial, showing ratings for a small number of outlets, and says that will go nationwide next month.

companies are making billions from meals they don't cook in takeaways they don't own. is it time they were made responsible for the kitchens where that food and their profits are made? time for a look at the weather. here's helen willetts with the forecast. the heatwave continues? yes, records have been broken in france, and it has been the warmest day of the year so has been the warmest day of the year so far. we will not get the intense heat unfortunately, i don't like the heat, but tomorrow will get warmer, we will be pushing 30 degrees across the western highlands of scotland tomorrow. by saturday, probably 34 in southern and eastern areas. it has been abundant sunshine, a little bit of cloud earlier along the east anglian coastline, and the cloud comes back into this evening and overnight, so not a cold night

overall, but comfortable for sleeping. as we go through tomorrow, we have more cloud to come initially in the morning, but that should clear away, but the sun is so strong at this time of year that we will have much more sunshine once again. what we will lose is the brisk wind we have had in the south, which has been masking the strength of the sun really, which are societies —— as it gets this time of year. temperatures tomorrow, 25—27 across the west, perhaps pushing 30 in the highlands, just around about 15—17 on the east coast. the heat will move eastwards on saturday, by that stage, we are seeing showers in the west, sojust a brief hot spell for us in the uk. we will have more later.

this is bbc news. the headlines... ninety labour mps and peers call onjeremy corbyn to overturn the decision to allow his ally — chris williamson — back into the party following an anti—semitism row. a jury hears that the man accused of stabbing lee pomeroy to death held a phone to his face and said "i'm going to kill this man." the two contenders to be the next tory leader and next prime minister clash over their policies — ahead of more hustings this evening. food delivery firm uber eats tightens up the way restaurants europe is in the grip of the heatwave.

we are talking a bit about the weather as across to france. we are just two hours away for the quarterfinal of the world cup. head coach phil neville has said the players that relax, happy and ready to end. let usjoinjane players that relax, happy and ready to end. let us joinjane who has been there at the team today. we have been hearing all day about the temperatures across europe and france, what about tonight's you can probably tell it is a little bit breezy, because it is breezy that has brought the tempo down elizabeth. do not forget the matches tonight are less... the temperatures will have killed even further by then we are talking 24 degrees. do not forget, the england players at the test that they have ever been. they have trained specifically for playing in hot weather. the manager told us they had trained in saunas, they had worn thermals and training

and that they were ready for this. no surprises in this world cup. we have also been told that tonight england will be playing in white. hopefully, that kit will reflect the rays of the sun away from the players and keep them cool. all good signs then. a third straight major semifinal. yes, obviously i think we cannot be presented here at all. norway will be a big obstacle to get past tonight. if england do, it is a big s, past tonight. if england do, it is a big 5, if past tonight. if england do, it is a big s, if they get past norway, then yes, they will meet either france or the usa in the semifinal. it would be quite a pita get a third consecutive semifinal. that is something that still neville says the only reason he took the job is because he believes that england could go on and when this tournament. the fascinating thing about the france versus usa game is

that neither team have been playing to theirfull that neither team have been playing to their full potential and yet, they are both favourites to take this tournament. many pundits are saying that the winner of that quarterfinal match between the usa and france will go on to win the tournament. either the house or the defending champions. i am sure both the level and the norway squad will have a lot to say about that. norway we re have a lot to say about that. norway were knocked out by england years ago, they say they are motivated by that. they are pretty resilient, if you look at the way they knocked out australia in the last round. yes, precisely because very technically gifted side and very physical as well. if you see how they performed against australia, not only did they meant edge to give 201—0 draw —— one all draw. quite a view players on the norway squad that might be familiar places to those of us who

are followers of the wsl. there is a third player who has just are followers of the wsl. there is a third player who hasjust signed are followers of the wsl. there is a third player who has just signed for chelsea, but she is not actually start playing at the season begins. yes, in very strong squad and england should not look past them. they will not be looking past them in fact, phil neville has at of the test yet. i said being quite a difficult match for both sides, actually. i do not think that norway's rankings are reflective of how they have performed in the tournament. i think that england need to perform well and if they do not have either nelly bright, who currently has a virus, or staff, then they might struggle. thanks, jane. at the cricket world cup, it's almost all over for the west indies. they are chasing 269

against india at old trafford, and have to win to have any chance of reaching the semi—finals, while india can pretty much, afford to lose. kemar roach took 3 wickets as they kept india's total down. virat kohli and mahndra singh dhoni made half centuries. chris gayle and shai hope went cheaply, and just when they looked to be rallying a third wicket fell, west indies currently 112—8 off 19 overs. it is an all purchase quarterfinal at eastbourne. dan evans has dominated the press that. he has broken his opponent's serve twice. ina broken his opponent's serve twice. in a little over half an hour and the second set has just gone under way. evans has taken the first one in that, as well as that is all the sport, for now do not forget that england game, excuse me, yes,

against norway, sorry. if it is a sneeze there. that is on bbc tonight. good luck to england tonight. the number of transgender hate crimes being reported across england, scotland and wales has nearly doubled in the past three years. figures obtained by the bbc show there were almost 2,000 recorded incidents last year. the government claims the rise is due to victims being more confident about coming forward, and changes in the way police record the crimes. emma glasbey reports. friday night in leeds. it's a big event for the transgender community. tonight, people feel safe and supported. but away from here, that's often not the case. so there's lots of different options on there for you to be able to... i get abuse all the time.

do you report it? i do most of the time... a group called the lgbt angels is urging people to report hate crime incidents. some of those here tonight tell us they've been through terrifying experiences. a guy came out of a block of flats, called me a paedophile, threatened to stab me, smashed my car up, held a dog chain up to my face. last year, more than 1,900 tra nsgender hate crimes were reported to police forces in england, scotland and wales. that's up from 1,073 crimes in 2016 — a rise of 81%. i've got a window alarm here that was supplied by victim support. sue lives near york. she's been the target of abuse many times. i had death threats, and my property was vandalised. i was scared, notjust for myself, but for all the trans community,

because it's happening to all of us in different ways. police emergency. press 5—5 on the handset for me. the home office believes the increase is because of improvements in the way hate crimes are identified and recorded. police forces tell us more victims are coming forward and it's important that continues. hate crime escalates. it starts off with words and escalates up. that's why it's important that we target hate crime at that early stage. sue runs an internet support group for people who've transitioned and says she's feeling stronger than ever. i don't care what you throw at me and it may be painful and i may get really upset with it, but i'm going to stand here and i'm going tojust say i'm sue, i'm here, look at me and please just go away and do your hate somewhere else, because you're not getting at me. emma glasbey, bbc news.

fox fisher transitioned 7 years ago and is now the director of my genderation and an advisor to the charity action group all about trans, he is here with me now. thank you for being with us. these figures, aiming, the police are saying it is partly at least due to people being more confident about reporting hate crime. do you think thatis reporting hate crime. do you think that is a part of the explanation or is it just that is a part of the explanation or is itjust a general increase in that kind of crime? regardless of that, we definitely have an issue in the uk will transfer beer that we really need to address. i am really glad that this report has come out. i think it is partially that people have felt supported to come out. there is also a responsibility of the press, i think the mainstream media has a lot to answer to when it comes to reporting of trans issues.

what could they do better?” comes to reporting of trans issues. what could they do better? i think what they are doing at the moment and often seem to do is create some kind of debate, translates lives are just not up for debate at all. they seem just not up for debate at all. they seem to be giving platform to people who are not experts in the field and just seem to be there to cause misinformation orfear just seem to be there to cause misinformation or fear mongering, things like that. do you think this isa things like that. do you think this is a particular problem in this country, in britain or is this around the world, is this around europe? centre back unfortunately transphobia is right around the world. brazil has the highest rate of murders for trans people. if we're not trying to kill ourselves, people are tried to kill us, it very sad. i think the issue is that a lot of trans people feel really... at

the start of the transition they are really vulnerable and often trans people do not have what we call passing privilege, which means that they may never have the ability to be seen as a gender that they feel they are. so, they pose as a risk to people. when it is negative media, it has a knock on effect and it filters down to the public, people who stand out like a sort them, people who may be do not conform or do not have as passing privilege, or are at the start of the transition orfor are at the start of the transition or for whatever reason are gender nonconforming, they rest attacks are top is this mainly online vomit out but attacks? how much of this is online the explosion of social media? how much of it is face—to—face or physical? media? how much of it is face-to-face or physical? in the uk alone we had a trans woman he was murdered at the end of last year and another one a few months ago for. even just another one a few months ago for. evenjust going to another one a few months ago for. even just going to my twitter feed today people are saying thanks to a

negative documentary that came out yesterday were run that they felt was quite negative, they were sent hatred online. somebody sent them picture of a whim, just try to antagonise them. what is the advice to people here suffering this kind of transphobia? how have you dealt with at? centre match is a tricky one. i get a lot of my transphobia online. everything they get hateful comments and in a position... is this online? yes, everything platform i receive hateful comments. but i am there to support other people, so i am happy to keep the channels open. are not tempted to close the channels? it is tempting, and i'm excited those who do not feel as comfortable to step away from it. do develop a thicker skin as the years continue?” from it. do develop a thicker skin as the years continue? i would like to think about was not there a thread about me on various places

online and i do not actually look at those. i am told by them and ijust leave them alone. to go down that path is not good for anybody‘s mental health. 0ther path is not good for anybody‘s mental health. other people deal that by engaging directly i tend to block and delete. what is your advice for people who are suffering that kind of abuse whether it is online are physically? what would you say to people? gosh, people having to deal with it in defence of the time. it is so sad, because i would rather we were dealing with the transphobia itself. i think people just need to know their limitations, may be. i suppose the only learn that by putting yourself out there and seeing what negative comments come your way. the trans community is so broad, we are talking about young kids are transitioning, people who are realising this later in life perhaps and often when you come out you are so eager and often when you come out you are so eagerfor the world and often when you come out you are so eager for the world to see who you are, it can, it is, perhaps

people should protect themselves a bit more the start of the transition. just briefly, in terms of track transphobia what motor the authorities need to do? to tackle transphobia i think we need to look at the media and what they are producing perhaps needs to be better guidelines for people and repercussions, rather than pending something outrageous and then apologising the next week and a small part, small section of the newspaper for small part, small section of the newspaperfor something small part, small section of the newspaper for something that they said wrongly, i think there needs to be, yet, more more repercussions. more awareness, i think, like the organisation that i work for, we go into organisations and good training to people. we cannot people to understand everything about trans issues, but i feel everybody deserves the right to express themselves for who they are regardless of their gender identity and expression. great to talk to you. thank you very much for your

time. scientists say cervical cancer could eventually be eradicated, thanks to the success of a vaccination programme against the hpv virus, which is one of the main causes of the disease. a new study has examined the impact of the vaccine on 60 million people in 14 different countries. lauren moss reports. when mandy was 44 she had a routine smear test. the news that she had cervical cancer changed her life. it was a huge bolt out of the blue because i did not have any symptoms, but i was treated within 17 days. i had a radical hysterectomy, which means that everything was removed from me and it was a really hard going operation and i was in hospital for a week and it was then a long recovery. four years on, mandy is in remission and has checkups every six months. the majority of several cancers are caused by the human papilloma virus. more than 300,000 women worldwide die from it every year. 850 of those deaths are in the uk.

a decade ago, girls aged 12 and 13 started receiving the hpv vaccine. now a study of 60 million people in 14 high income countries has found eight years after vaccination among women aged 20 to 24 there was a 66% reduction in high risk strains of hpv. cases of genital warts were also down 54% and there was a 31% decline in precancerous lesions. the vaccine is very successful at reducing hpv infections and there are five hpv types which have seen substantial declines in the uk and they cause about 90% of cervical disease and cervical cancer. so what we'll expect to see in the near future is that we are seeing really substantial declines in cervical cancers. hpv is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. many people will develop some form of it in their lifetime with no ill effects, but charities say no one should be complacent. cervical screening still remains really, really important and just as important for people who have

had the vaccination. as the study shows, the vaccination is really effective at reducing the risk of cervical cancer, but it does not fully protect against the disease, so still take up your cervical screening invitation when it is sent through. mandy's teenage daughters have both been vaccinated. from september the roll—out will continue to 12 and 13—year—old boys. i said to her, i would never make you do anything in your life. you have to have this vaccine. it is absolutely critical. ladies, unfortunately, are still dying from this disease. you would become infertile, you cannot have children. i do not want my children to go through what i went through in the last four years, so it is just imperative that they get vaccinated. the study did not analyse data from low income countries, but a scientist and survivors are optimistic that research is a step closer to cervical cancer one day becoming a disease of the past. lauren moss, bbc news. world leaders have been arriving injapan — ahead of a crucial g—20 summit.

trade wars, iran and climate change — all likely to dominate — and already the battle lines are being drawn. 0n the us—china trade war — it's reported bejing will tell president trump — the ban on huawei will need to be dropped, to end the dispute. meanwhile, french president emmanuel macron says he'll try to convince the us to drop some iranian sanctions — to give negotiations a chance. he also wants real progress on climate change. james robbins reports from 0ssaka. the world is coming to osaka. and 0bachaan, this week nicknamed the g20 grannies, are out promising laughter and happiness. so, it's a shame the summit is most unlikely to be harmonious, positive or uplifting. heavy rain greeted the leaders, predicted to keep falling through most of their summit. head—to—head talks between china's president xijinping and donald trump will be critical.

their escalating trade war is dragging down much of the rest of the world, too. so any sort of truce here would be hugely welcome. but the biggest summit split for donald trump is over climate change. he is leaning onjapan to drop from this g20's agreed conclusions any reference to reducing the use of fossil fuels. it's all too much for emmanuel macron, the president of france. he is arguing precisely the opposite case to japan's prime minister shinzo abe. translation: if we do not go far enough without climate ambitions, then we are holding the summit for nothing. prime minister abe and i care about the g20, we're fighting to have an ambitious text. over the next days and nights in osaka, while some city life goes on as normal, world leaders and their teams will be struggling to find common ground. theirjapanese hosts really worry the global order may be breaking down.

we saw, sort of, an international community divided up into certain blocks before world war ii and it did not help the world economy. so, i think we need to be united, we need to co—operate and notjust economically, but politically. at a time when the international system seems to be under almost unprecedented strain, japan would love nothing more than to be seen emerging from the summit as some sort of peacemaker. but the divisions between donald trump in particular and much of the rest of the world are so deep, over climate change, over trade, thatjust keeping the idea of global partnership alive, that may be enough of an ambition for this meeting. the two candidates for the

leadership of the liberal democrats have been setting out how they plan to force another break that referendum. they are taking part in a debate on the bbc victoria derbyshire programme. they also spoke about their regret about their time in government. i corresponded with watching. it is notjust the conservatives choosing a new leader. welcome to a lib dems special. these two candidates both want to lead their party. this morning they said why. unsurprisingly the answer was brexit. they both want another referendum, and ultimately to remain in the european union. the prospect ofa in the european union. the prospect of a new deal brexit is one that is focusing minds of the conservative party right now. including ministers who had been arguing in private a people plus might vote but have not yet backed it because of collectible responsibility. and davey... i would

like to have a government of national unity, bringing the parties together and that would just be a temporary government for one purpose and one purpose alone. to pass legislation for a people plus might vote. both said they would accept the result of another referendum under open to working with other parties to get it. but they are less keen on the idea of coalitions after the experience of going into power with the conservatives. many people we re with the conservatives. many people were absolutely horrified by the coalition. both were ministers, both have policy regrets. i was not very happy with the second bedroom tax. but she voted for it. what you regret then joe? absolutely the bedroom tax. i think we should not have let that three in coalition. i think we not a comeback on what we set on tuition fees. one of the

candidates could have taken a rather different path. m16 charge recruitment to be a spy overseas? but i had just been recruited... recruitment to be a spy overseas? but i hadjust been recruited... now he is firmly focused on politics and even looking at life beyond brexit. my personal goal is to tackle inequality, . .. my personal goal is to tackle inequality,... i think we need to reship the economy,... inequality,... i think we need to reship the economy, . .. the inequality,... i think we need to reship the economy,... the lib dems struggled after the coalition years to make their mark on british politics, but after finishing second in the european whoever wins will find getting attention difficult right away. the new lib dems leader takes over the same day asa dems leader takes over the same day as a new prime minister. the heatwave across much of europe is intensifiying with countries including france,

spain and italy all expecting temperatures to peak above 40 degrees celsius today. yesterday, germany, poland, and the czech republic recorded their highest—ever june temperatures. the uk won't escape — over the next few days there could be highs here of 34 degrees. in france, officials have issued strict warnings about the risk to life. several cities have restricted traffic, and in some areas schools have closed. from paris, hugh schofield reports. europe is basking in an unexpectedly early spell of blasting heat. what it says about our changing climate may be a matter of concern, but out and about most people are for now enjoying the positives. it certainly hasn't deterred the crowds here in paris turning out to see the city sights. if you're from a place you are going to know the best ways to stay cool and you're not going to bother coming outside,

but if you're a visitor it's a different matter. if you're a tourist and you don't venture out into this heat then what's the point in being here? and most tourists were taking the temperatures in their stride. seattle is raining and 70, and we're what, 90—ish, so it's hot. it's super hot. i need lots of water! i need ice. we're going to drop a bucket of water on his head soon. across the continent temperatures have been nudging the records in places hitting the early 40s and it's set to run for a few more days. absolutely fantastic to visit such a beautiful city, but a bit hotter than we expected. yeah, last night at the steps it was 41. when we drove here it was 37 at eight o'clock in the morning, so... a lot of water, a hat, just trying to stay cool. but the dangers are also showing. in spain, wildfires have been raging in the

north—east. and the health risks to the vulnerable, especially the elderly, will only increase as the heat persists. here in frankfurt in germany, the red cross was called to attend to one victim on the street. translation: there are different types of patient groups, like elderly people and children, who have problems with direct sunlight, especially when they don't wear loose clothing or a hat. this can lead to overheating or sunstroke. in france, memories are still raw of the 2003 heat wave in which thousands of old people died unnecessarily. today, there are new procedures in place to make sure the elderly remain hydrated and cool. blistering heat can be fun for a while. so far, europe is coping, but also hoping that these unseasonable highs don't last beyond the weekend. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. time for a look at the weather.

the continuing row in labour over anti—semitism. now, over 100 the continuing row in labour over anti—semitism. now, over100 labour mp5 and peers strongly criticised the readmission of an mp into the party. chris williamson's reinstatement has been called inappropriate and offensive in an open letter — signed by the party's deputy leader i wouldn't normally do this but this is so important, the upset and anger is so important, the upset and anger is so important, the upset and anger is so great that i think we need to act very swiftly. but chris williamson has hit back, saying he's stood up against bigotry all his political life — we'll bring you the latest on a running controversy within the labour party. we have a special report from the us/mexico border where migrants are risking their lives hoping for a better future.
