at the cricket world cup england's bowlers make steady progress as they take on new zealand hoping for a place in the semi finals. china and britain have become embroiled in a heated war of words over the demonstrations in hong kong. it's after the foreign secretary jeremy hunt warned of serious consequences for china if the rights of people living in the territory were infringed. today beijing accused the uk of indulging in "colonial era fantasies" and warned it not to interfere in its domestic affairs. the foreign office in london summoned the chinese ambassador over his comments on the matter.

hong kong have now returned to the embrace of the motherland connects the special administration of china. it's not part of the uk. so i would call them to say hands off of hancock —— hong kong and show respect of what's been achieved in hong kong and one country to systems. let's speak to our diplomatic crrespondent james landale, after that he was called into for a meeting, he described it as unacceptable and inaccurate. on twitter, the foreign secretary said message to chinese government, good relations based on mutual respect. that's the best way to preserve the great relationship between the uk and china. let's speak to our diplomatic crrespondent james landale, who is here with me now.

you are at baptist conference, you also had a reaction from the foreign office, how frosty and tastier now getting. the chinese ambassador is a robust individual, he is a very senior diplomat, he is not a junior diplomat he's a very senior figure within the system. he used to be the ambassador in north korea. so when he speaks he speaks with full authority in beijing. and you know, press c0 nfe re nces authority in beijing. and you know, press conferences at the chinese embassy are rare, few and far between. and when they do, they are robust and he made it very, very clear and uncompromising language just how upset the chinese are, and eventually pushing back this idea had that the british had any involvement or anything to say about hong kong whatsoever, that's where this dispute really lies. the british believed joint declaration,

international treaty all the way backin international treaty all the way back in 1984 to agree to hand over at 97 still stands. and ijoint declaration insuring that hong kong has separate autonomy and has a free market and interim —— independent judiciary it still stands, the chinese says no it's historical document, they are in charge of their special administrative region. in that case, given best complete dissonance about how to interpret written's role or non—role in hong kong, given that the chinese did not appear at the moment to had any intention of backing away from getting with the protest if they see fit, it's like to see how relations are going to get any better. the question really is what the hong kong government dies, it's a sense they are in between this and as a degree of uncertainty about how they should handle it and what they should handle it and what they should do next, they are slightly torn between what they would be

getting from instructions from beijing because remember most of them are appointed by the committee, and also that sheer numbers of people on the streets, but also the international protocol, coming from the old colonial power of united kingdom. presenting business community in hong kong as i need ballots happening. exactly, there has always been an ease between business people like stability, do not like campaigns upsetting everything, it's an old argument that's been there ever since the last governor making these arguments at the time of the business committee saying do not push it. the point is, clearly there are hundreds of thousands if not more people and hong kong, especially the young, who are walking the streets and these protests happening regularly now, saying no, we think what has been proposed in happening by chinese government and hong kong government allowed for people in hong kong to be extradited to face trial in china

mainland, it's a breach of the joint declaration we specifically says they should be independent judiciary. one final question do we had any idea what was said between the ambassador and sarah sign into night? all know if they say that sarah signed and made it very, very clear that what the ambassador was saying as unacceptable or inaccurate and british government is not saying we support violence, the prime minister made that clear to. thank you very much. a baby who was delivered by paramedics after his mother was fatally stabbed in south london at the weekend has died. 26—year—old kelly fau velle was eight months pregnant when she was killed in what detectives say was a brutal attack. police have now released footage of a man seen running away from the scene. they say they don't know what the motive was or how the attacker got in to the house in thornton heath. our correspondent sarah campbell reports. it's just after three o'clock on saturday morning, cctv captures a man walking in the direction of kelly mary fauvrelle's house. who is he, and why, shortly

afterwards, is the same man, according to the police, seen running along the street? minutes later, the emergency services were called to kelly's address. kelly was the victim of a sustained and vicious attack, which has taken place in her own bedroom. her bedroom was in the family home, it was on the ground floor, which was actually her bedroom, and it was set up for her and there was also a cot in the room, which was also going to be set up for riley. kelly was eight months pregnant when she was stabbed to death. her son survived for five days in hospital after paramedics managed to deliver him by emergency c—section. the number of tributes in front of the house to mother and now her son has continued to grow. i think everybody is so shocked, you know, it'sjust beyond, it is beyond how somebody could do that, you know, to another human being, but, you know, an eight—month pregnant woman, 26 years old, it's just so wrong.

forensics officers have spent the day examining the family home. two men, one aged 37 and another aged 29, were arrested at the weekend on suspicion of murder. both have now been released, neither has been charged. in the commons today, the local mp said the killing showed many here are struggling to comprehend the stabbing of a heavily pregnant woman and the death of her baby. our correspondent leigh milner is at the scene in thornton heath in south london. this is obviously an incredibly distressing case for everyone involved. policed by the sound of that, extremely worried they may have attackers still at large. there is still lots of mystery surrounding that scene ended —— the man seen on cctv, this is the actual street where he was in writing down here early hour is a saturday morning, just at the sight of me here is the

family, where police had told me the family, where police had told me the family actually heard screams coming the downstairs bedroom towards the rear. emergency services were called at about 3:30 a:m., unfortunately kelly could not be saved but they did miraculously deliver her little sun to the family had named o'reilly. but unfortunately after five days in hospital he died. if you take a quick look behind me, we have little teddy bears and lots of floral tributes there against the side of the house, one of them even says kelly was so excited to be a first—time mother, she looked so radiant and shone like a star. behind the attributes you can see police officer still guarding the entrance, they had been there all day, we have also seen forensic office going in and out of that property, trying to find clues as to what happened that night. police have described in the investigation

asa have described in the investigation as a fast paced and extremely challenging. we've actually released to the cc tv recordings if you look at this, if you look at the crest when it shows a man walking to this address about a quarter past three the morning she was killed. the second shows the same man running along the street, a few minutes after the emergency services arrived. metropolitan police if they dare not share that man is responsible for the crime, but they wa nt to responsible for the crime, but they want to know exactly who he is and what i want to come forward quickly as possible. now, two men aged 37 and 29 were arrested over the weekend but since have been released without charges. leonel and eric, thank you very much. two rail workers have died after being hit by a passenger train near port talbot in south wales. british transport police say the men aged 58 and 64 were wearing ear defenders at the time, and couldn't hear the train approaching. our wales correspondent

sian lloyd reports. this is where two men, aged 58 and 64, lost their lives this morning. the rail workers had been wearing ear defenders and didn't hear the train approaching. emergency services were called and treated a third worker for shock. inside the train, passengers waited. four hours later, the 180 people on board were allowed to leave and taken away on buses to a nearby station. thank god that nobody on the train, the train didn't turn over. the people on the track, i think they were workmen, i'm not sure, and they were killed. the first thoughts have to be to the family of the deceased and the other person who was injured and equally, i must say, to the driver. this is the main line between swansea and london. the train had not long left

port talbot when the accident happened just before ten o'clock this morning, in conditions very much like this. good visibility and dry weather. questions are being asked about how this tragedy happened. the rail workers union, the rmt, has called on network rail to suspend similar works while an investigation is carried out here. the company says it will cooperate fully with the enquiry, which has already begun. we have a number of officers remaining in the area, who continue to work alongside the rail accident investigation branch, to understand the full circumstances of what happened in the moments before this incredibly sad, fatal collision. over the past five years, two workers have been killed on the railways. tonight, safety standards are once again under scrutiny. sian lloyd, bbc news. let's discuss today's accident with philip haigh, columnist at rail magazine. you covered this on many occasions

sadly. unfortunately all too often, but my heart goes out to all those affected by the incident today, the family passages driver himself, there must be dreadfully upset. what you make of what we have learned this evening, that two of the amendment where it wearing ear defenders and in the wake of the police, therefore did not hear the train coming. that doesn't totally surprise me, it depends on the sort of work they were doing but active if it was noisy work you would naturally expect them to where the year defenders, but you also expect someone year defenders, but you also expect someone to be with them really to physically type them on the shoulder when there is a warning of an approaching train, so that they can stop the work and move to a safe area. i imagine people listening to this going hang on to heat tapped them on the shoulder to tell them a train is coming because it sounds rather simple and basic at a time when you think in the 21st century we would have something more sophisticated than your mate keeping

his eyes peeled. when it works, it isa his eyes peeled. when it works, it is a very good and decent assistant to use because it is simple. there are other ways you can do work like this, you cannot shut the railway are this, you cannot shut the railway a re close this, you cannot shut the railway are close the line so nobody no trains are running at all, and that a much safer system of work, but of christ if you are trying to run trains and carry passengers and move freight, it's difficult to do both at the same time. you mentioned that coming —— the nonresident incidents he reported over the years, the investigative branch says a 17 year messes in the last two years. to be a sign until i an outsider and ignoramus, excepting that lots of work going on the railways but it sounds like quite a lot of near misses. it gets to me too and i must say i have been concerned that there is this steady trickle not really but a trickle of a trickle of near

misses, and naturally raises concerns of one awful incident translating into the sort of thing we saw today. let me ask, what needs to change, is it the training or supervision, where is the balance?” think it's a combination of both.” know we can't talk about this particular incident. it supervision and training, in many ways is training for the supervisors, the people leading these teens of track workers, training for them into your they cope with often change situations, they plan for one thing, something else happens and they have to switch the plan. they also have to switch the plan. they also have to be pretty firm with the people and their gangs that they did the right thing at the right time for the right reasons, so those are the sorts of things i think investigators will be looking at. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news... 16 minutes past eight, the foreign

office had summoned the chinese ambassador and criticising beijing foran ambassador and criticising beijing for an acceptable comments between the uk and kind of a protest in hong kong. and that's that is to be attacked on kelly with sustaining dishes, but it's still not clear. investigations launched after two railway workers killed in south wales, police say they were wearing your defenders, and did not hear the train coming. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. it's gavin, hello sorry is waiting for you to pop up on camera. i'm doing all right, chairs and hope your well at home. england in the semifinals of cricket world cup, they thrashed new zealand today winning by 119 runs. first time they made a semifinal at the weld cap since 1992 and a bit of thanks to the second consecutive from england

openerjohnny, setting them up for a big total where they eventually set them 360 when, might‘ve been in reach for the opponents had they not lost a key backs name, kane williamson and i'm like a sense that the circumstances, the slight touch onto the stumps and the team ran out of non—strikers and and they went on toa of non—strikers and and they went on to a convincing win meeting they're set to finish third in the well—kept table and will meet india or australia next thursday for a place in the final. wimbledon, action continues on page three, djokovic in the centre court defending cruise into third round, no such luck for the break kyle admin, both out today. speaking tojohn now, who is there great to see a big disappointment for brits earlier. yeah absolutely, both of them in action today, kyler had been gone out being five sets by fernando, and he wants to sets to the good was two games away from bucking his place in

the third round, but it unraveled for and after a nasty slip and he jarred his knee or appear to but he said afterwards that wasn't the cause of this defeat he said he wasn't physically fit enough to get out of the line against him today, so out of the line against him today, so the british number one in the men's singles is out. heather watson is joining men's singles is out. heather watson isjoining in there, she lost to men's singles is out. heather watson is joining in there, she lost to a net in three sets as well, so disappointment for hetzer watson, who still is yet to go into the second week of the grand slam meeting all eyes on the five brits than in action tomorrow, jan heine and kamran among them. now and be merry as we know the singles this year but he caused human excitement confirming the rumour he's playing along the serena williams and the mixed doubles this year and he says it's an opportunity he could not turn down. us the opportunity to play with serena, she's one of the best of all time, the biggest team athlete ever, it's something i may

never get another chance to do and i might not potentially play next doubles again, so if i'm going to do it with the one chance to play with her, then obviously it's brilliant and it's something i never expected to happen. can't wait to see that said john, i went for a and another notch with interest taking place as well. absolutely, we shouldn't be surprised novak djokovic the defending champion this singles is co mforta bly, defending champion this singles is comfortably, coming through dennis in straight sets, and to the second round once again but all eyes on the action of her on court number one at the moment because it's cocoa goth, 15—year—old who because when the biggest upsets in the opening day of this torment when she knocked out venus williams up against magdalena right now, who's something of a grass court specialist, so she will certainly challenged somewhat and she was against williams williams but you can see, two games always

lie the pictures over on court number one, we not so much about the way she came through, qualifying to book your place in the main draw becoming the youngest ever qualifier to reach the majors at the wimbledon championships and if she can come past it it'll be one of the greatest stories of this championship so far. indeed, thank you very much for that. the ball, netherlands and sweden playing right now for the right to face the united states and the women's world cup finals this sunday. this is the lie that picture is as we speak, 0—0 currently, this is as we speak, 0—0 currently, this is another land best run ever at a women's world cup, first time they've gone beyond the quarter finals this sunday. this is the lie that picture is as we speak, 0—0 currently, this is another land best run ever at a women's world cup, first time they've gone beyond the quarterfinals 0—0 as it stands, 20 minutes gone. that's all from ask for now, more for you at sports day at half past ten we will see you then. the departure, thank you.

well, more now on the cricket world cup and the news that england are through to the semi finals for the first time since 1992, after comfortably beating new zealand by 119 runs. we can speak now to tms analyst, simon hughes, who's also editor of the cricketer magazine. he joins us live from wandsworth in south london. are you celebrating tonight. i'm relieved in a way, because they deserve to get into the semifinals, there was a couple of wobbles they are especially against sri lanka but they came back strong against indiana on sunday, and obviously confirmed semifinal position today against new zealand, great performances and you know, ijust celebrate the fact that they built such an impressive campaign over the last four years, which hopefully should come to fruition with the least an appearance in the final if not the cop. not an overnight sensation as you say, lots of work and preparationjust

sensation as you say, lots of work and preparation just sustained equality, what is it they're doing now that they weren't doing ten yea rs now that they weren't doing ten years ago or 15 or 20 years ago. they focus on the white ball, a lot after especially the 2015 performance and made andrew strauss priorities as director at the time to really make a game priority and identifying a couple of plays, three orfour, who would be identifying a couple of plays, three or four, who would be essential to that, and actually one of the key players is jason, you may remember in 2015 when england rejuvenated at the game, he was actually out the first ball of the game against new zealand, but they didn't look back and they closed at 400 back bay, and roy has been very much enter go to the whole revolution of the cricket, so it him returning that helped england regain a fearlessness, which has been the hallmark of their cricket the last three or four yea rs. cricket the last three or four years. has been more consistency and selection would you say definitely,

the identified 15 or 16 players they thought would be able to do the job and had that kind of fearlessness and had that kind of fearlessness and innovation as well. or aggressive, and positive, and routine then as well. does 15 or 16 players did not business the last two years and obviously if the team, at the squad, so they feel much more confident in each other‘s roles and position in this. is that they ought to be lit up at their place in the final, and everything being equal, how do you access the next couple and potentially nexium matches? looks like it'll be near again, for the semifinal they had just beaten them bare and they will look i learned a lot from it, come back strongly, i think it's important they try to bat first again especially because it is easier batting first bank cheating rhymes. but i'm confident they have what it ta kes to but i'm confident they have what it takes to beat indiana, it is if india is in the semi. for the final who you think it's going to be? it's

not going to be indians going to be australia versus england looks like, the one thing australia had less experience of winning the tournament, obviously they won the world cup in 2015 they had few members of team still in the side, plus they had justin and ricky and ricky and a great coaching staff who know how to win tournament cricket and know how to win at bagel one half notches, so that's to their advantage by england are home and are on a roll despite the few blips on the radar the last couple of weeks, so i can see honestly, and australia england final, and you know, best player of the day winds. what a great match that will be i hope you are right. simon hughes additive a cricketer, thank you. it's being heralded as a major boost for britain's tv and film industry. the american streaming giant netflix has signed a deal to take over much of the world famous shepperton studios in surrey turning it into one of its major production hubs. shepperton opened as a film studio in 1932, since then its been the home of hundreds of films including star wars

and bridgetjones. here's our media editor amol rajan. everyone knows the best place for a clandestine meeting in london is and always has been st james' park. good omens, based on the book by neil gaiman, is one of amazon prime's biggest ever productions, and it was made in britain. crowley and aziraphale have been meeting here for quite some time... co—produced by bbc studios, the series is an example of how a few american web giants are transforming global television. as if armageddon were a cinematographic show you wish to sell in as many countries as possible. how has amazon's entry into the uk market changed things for a director like you? in simple terms, there's more money to make things on a bigger scale. good omens being made as a six and a half hour comedy, with a standard uk budget, we couldn't get it moving. we've now got the resources to actually make a world that is credible to the audience and that engages with the story completely and it's notjust

a pared down adaptation. crosstalk. of course, it's notjust amazon. there is a creative boom going on in britain, driven by svod, or subscription video on demand. crosstalk. for christ sake! take the photo! over the past ten years, there's been an exponential growth in the value of the film and tv industry in the uk and its growth has significantly outpaced that of the uk economy. tv today is marrying the best of the old with the best of the new. shepperton studios, owned by pinewood, is where countless legendary movies were shot and netflix is moving in. they believe that by investing in local studio space and hiring local staff, they can neutralise concerns about american dominance of the industry. the new netflix production hub will include 14 sound stages and a total of 435,000 square feet. no one in the history of film

or television has caused so much disruption so quickly as netflix, and the truth is, they're just getting started. the company is pivoting from an american distributor to a global production powerhouse, deeply embedded in local economies. rivals might grumble about the dominance of an over mighty californian giant but viewers aren't complaining. and anyway — that's showbiz! that's why we've invested so heavily here. that's why our original production in the uk is so big. this is about a $2.7 billion business, right, for the television market in the uk, that we hope to be a bigger and bigger part of. so, our predictions have generated about 25,000 jobs already. there a revolution going on in britain's creative industries and this one will be televised. amol rajan, bbc news, shepperton. welljoining me in the studio is adrian wootton, the chief executive of the british film commission, which promotes british films and television.

thank you for coming in, it's a great day for your industry point of view, what do you think is the explanation for why netflix wants to have effectively a permanent site in the uk? i think it's because i spent a lot of time investment in the british pound and television id industry by the uk government and all the public and private agencies working together, it's been a long ha rd working together, it's been a long hard road it to get where we are today. but i think we've hit a kinda sweet spot, a tipping point where the combination of our extraordinary creative i don't think anyone would disagree we have some of the greatest writers and directors and producers and actors in the world. but to combine with that, we had a great physical incentive and fantastic infrastructure, the best visual effects concentration i believe a facilities in the wild, and some of the best studios in the wild, you put back together and it's a very compelling package, they are

making more and more content. you talk about some of the craft awards and every oscar's seemed to be for the british names. we consistently are the country that winds at academy awards than anyone other than the usa itself, and that's because of our extraordinary crime technicians at. when netflix gave evidence to the committee a few months ago they were teased slightly saying some people doubt that how deep your commitment to the uk is. do you think this answer is that criticism? i think it is not sickly, dipping is the crown is made by netflix and that's as bad —— about as british as it gets, and they're doing co—production with the bbc. dracula was announced recently with that picture is up there with the crown on the early theories of the show, there is a cast change as it goes into series after series. and

by investment, but what they'll be doing is absolutely extraordinary for the british film industry it's a great vote of confidence. erases a question and hang on the minute it sounds great, but is itjust concentrating on what they were doing anyway and doing in different places are out in other locations. the truth of the matter if they wa nted the truth of the matter if they wanted a european hub and they got ukfor wanted a european hub and they got uk for that which is fantastic they have 40 shows writing and even those shows still loved all hit and chapter ten, they will still be shooting in scotland and northern ireland and wales, and the rest of england. and we are actually working on developing stickier capacity across nations in the region because there is great talent everywhere else, and actually the nations in the region sites binding tonight too, said this is good for the whole of the uk, notjust london in southeast. you mentioned the crown,

there is sex education as well, and other netflix successes, it bonded when it tried to do very french in france they got all the plots and location, it was turkey, french did not wash it but do you think they learned from those experiences in terms of what their relationship is with some of the countries they are working in? they had been sophisticated because they are now developing a whole strand of local programming over the world, but for us, the fact that they want to make such a large proportion and that they're out pit in the uk, indicates what kind of place we now had in the global content market. with netflix and amazon and apple and all the major studios, we are punching massively above our weight as a country, and the fact that we are as isaid country, and the fact that we are as i said bigger than pharmaceuticals, we are the fastest growing part of the uk economy, and a brexit

context, this is investment likely coming from outside of europe, so it's a very good post brexit news story as well. thank you very much for having us. one person has been killed during a volcanic eruption in stromboli, they we re volcanic eruption in stromboli, they were not to have been walking and then thrown and hit by stones, at then thrown and hit by stones, at the eruption started on the website island, holiday—makers were purporting to run into the sea after they slash rising from the volcano, stromboli is an active volcano on the planet, erupting can you —— continuously since 1932. police investigating the disappearance of the estate agent suzy lamplugh more than 33 years ago have begun searching an area of land outside worcester following new information. the 25—year—old went missing from fulham in west london in 1986 after meeting a client. her body has never been found. peter wilson sent us this update.

caulfield, nothing was found there. but clearly, police say they are responding to new information and they are taking it very seriously, and they are here in force. at the time, during the search we spoke to susie's brother richard, who said that family just wanted to find her and finally, to be able to lay her to rest and at that time, knocking was found. but clearly, police are acting on new information and are back and it looks again as though they be business. peter they're reporting on the search for cz. you whether prospects. that evening, lovely day across much of the uk today, warm and sunshine further south at different started that story for the night cloudy across north scotland canadian place tonight, and bringing more a range of audience that lent

the foreign office has summoned the chinese ambassador and criticised beijing for making unacceptable comments about britain's hong kong policy amid a growing diplomatic row over the recent protests there. detectives say the attack on kelly mary fauvrelle at her home in croydon on saturday was "sustained and vicious" the motive is unclear. police want to find this man who was seen leaving the house that night. an investigation's launched after two railway workers are killed in south wales police say they were wearing ear defenders and didn't hear the train coming. a big boost to britain's film and tv industry as the american giant netflix opens a new base at surrey‘s world famous shepperton studios. jeremy corbyn has held a meeting with the head of the civil service, sir mark sedwell, into reports in saturday's times newspaper that two senior civil servants told the paper the labour leader may not be "physically or mentally" up to the job of prime minister.

a labour party spokesman says, "the seriousness of the civil service breach and the evident malicious intent behind it was acknowledged by all participants in the meeting." a statement by the party continued that they've been promised an " independent element to the civil service investigation" into what was said. well a little earlier i asked the former labour home secretarty and party elder spokesman lord blunkett what he thought about the reports that civil servants had been privately suggesting jeremy corbyn is too ‘frail‘ to be prime minister. i have made considerable differences with the politics ofjeremy, in particular the people around him, but i do not think it is appropriate for them to make any comments like that. i do not think his problems are about being frail or old was dubbed i am just slightly older than him and! dubbed i am just slightly older than him and i do not feel the least bit frail. two female playwrights have accused idris elba and the artistic director of the young vic theatre, kwame kwei armah, of claiming their work as their own. tori allen martin and her writing partner, sarah henley, say they created the show, tree but have now been excluded from the project,

and are receiving no credit. both men deny the allegations. one of the women has been speaking to the bbc. what are the allegations being made against the two? two young up—and—coming female play writers, sarah and tori. a number of years ago, they were approached by idris elba to develop a musical about an album. they spent a number of years working on this, they say they wrote a script and even gave it its name, tree, which is as to this day. they have spent a lot of time on it. they felt it was their show along with interest elba. they were really excited when the international festival and the young theatres said they wanted to stage it for every young writer, that is a dream come true. but they say at this point, they were essentially pushed off of they were essentially pushed off of the project, completely erased and

of received no credit. and if you look at the promotional material, it is very much advertised as a play by two men. these women said that is simply not true and they have been pushed out, essentially they were treated by these powerful men wanted. she had this message for the two men. i think that you are better than this and i think we were just two people that are so passionate about this production and we are to people so passionate about this industry and doing the right thing andl industry and doing the right thing and i wish, even if they hadn't done right by us in terms of getting us the credit that we deserved, they could have done right by standing up now and saying 0k, we hear you, we see you and what can we do to help make this industry better and truer

and a safer place for everyone. what are they saying, if anything in the defence? they have denied the allegations in saying that the women that they did work with on the show, the show had to go in a different direction with a new writer because the show that the women had devised, they say, was not artistically viable, tree now is very different now to where it was then. they were offered money, but it was not an attempt to buy them off, but it was about reaching a compromise and i think what is going to be really interesting is the impact this is going to have on ticket sales. especially when it transfers to the young victory because there are a lot of people very angry about this on social media it will be interesting to see if that will impact on the box office.

the eu bloc has just settled on the key politicians to drive it forward for the next 5 years. they are compromise candidates, some weren't even mentioned until the last hours of negotiation. the top posts have gone to german, french, spanish, belgian and italian nationals. and in france it has been hailed as a huge victory for president macron. his compatriot christine lagarde will head the european central bank, his belgian ally charles michel will be the president of the european council. mr macron secured the top commission job for the german defence minister and federalist ursula von der leyen. and to top it off, all four new faces — including the eu's foreign policy chief, the spaniard josep borrell — are fluent french speakers. but mrs von der leyen must be confirmed by the european parliament and she may struggle to secure the votes she needs. the socialists said it was unacceptable. and the greens have vowed to stop it. the mep bas eikhout from the netherlands tweeted that this was "old europe at its worst. a back door deal he said "with candidates emerging to please the national leaders from germany, france and spain." with more details, here's our correspondent

in strasbourg, adam fleming the defence minister arrived in strassburg to be met with a huge grip of cameras and journalists who wa nt to grip of cameras and journalists who want to know more about her and what she plans to do. there are probably a bit disappointed because she kept tight—lipped and said absolutely nothing. she met mep from the centre left and people's party who are her allies in this process and then she is going to be the centre left and the liberals, they were sceptical of her in the process and she was selected in secret by eu leaders because she had not put yourself forward explicitly as the candidate forward explicitly as the candidate for thejob and forward explicitly as the candidate for the job and in two weeks' time, there are people here that she has to get a majority of mep's to get thejob. and now it's time to get a majority of mep's to get the job. and now it's time for a to get a majority of mep's to get thejob. and now it's time for a new president of the apartment thousand

more like the chair or the speaker, there were two rounds of votes, four candidates and the winner was david, who is a centre—right former tv journalist from italy that will be in the chairfrom journalist from italy that will be in the chair from proceedings journalist from italy that will be in the chairfrom proceedings in journalist from italy that will be in the chair from proceedings in the european parliament. postal ballot papers will be sent to around 160 thousand conservative party members at the end of this week so that they can choose the next prime minister. will it be borisjohnson orjeremy hunt? our political editor laura kuenssberg has been to canterbury — which the conservatives held for decades until 2017 — to find out who tory party voters there are planning to pick. in sunny gardens, homes and meeting halls, tory members gather to choose who to send to downing street. it's their decision and soon. the ballot papers are going to go out on friday, most people are going to reply quickly. and so you could have this contest sewn up by wednesday. are you all going to vote quickly, do you think? yes.

officially, still three weeks to press the flesh but there could be only days to make a difference or the front runner to fall. he does has this ability to electrify a room and speak to people in a way that other politicians cannot. quite frankly, to me, there is no contest. i've been at party conferences where you have had to queue three hours to get into the main hall to listen to what boris has to say. the response from party members is outstanding. i'll be honest, i can't stand him at all. i think i worry about his competence and i don't think boris johnson has that at all. i think he's also incredibly insensitive on racial issues. his opponentsjust seem tojump on the bandwagon and say, he said a racist thing, he doesn't like muslims, etc, etc, it's not true. i would stop short of saying he is racist. i think he's incredibly insensitive. a lot of mps do have doubts about borisjohnson's character. yeah. but does that worry you? not really.

i think he is very ambitious, but why are you in parliament if you're not ambitious? you can say anything that people are currently saying about boris about churchill in 1939. every time boris appears, there is a spontaneous cheer and people call out and laugh. he connects. and if he can get our party back to what it was, then he's my man. good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i'm just going to take the biggest risk of the campaign so far and actually stand on a chair. might he flirt with risk after all? there's chatter at least jeremy hunt is the one gaining. boris is a bit of an ice cream sundae, kind of sugar rush politician, says the right thing, he's very appealing. and he's a bit of cheese sandwich, isn't he? he's kind of like very boring, but he actually has all qualities you need. sadly, i think hunt has gone from one place to another and back again. can't decide whether he wants to be a

critic in the stands or a johnson tribute act. i would rather have someone who is dull but gets the job done. very nice chap, doesn't have the charisma of boris or the passion. if i think that boris could do the job, could win an election and actually be a competent leader, then yes. if in the end i decide after listening to a few more debates and so that he wouldn't, then it will certainly be jeremy hunt. for the stability, for the common sense, i think. what is the tally in canterbury? boris. undecided. hunt. boris. but sense and sensibility are both in play. politics is rapture and reason. tory members will make their choice and then leave us all with huge power in one person's hands.

let's ta ke let's take a look at the headlines. the foreign office has summoned the chinese ambassador and criticised beijing for making unacceptable comments about britain's hong kong policy amid a growing diplomatic row over the recent protests there. detectives say the attack on kelly mary fauvrelle at her home in croydon on saturday was "sustained and vicious" the motive is unclear. an investigation's launched after two railway workers are killed in south wales police say they were wearing ear defenders and didn't hear the train coming. an update on the market numbers for you here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. obesity now causes more cases of four common cancers in the uk, than smoking according to cancer research uk. the charity says bowel, kidney, ovarian and liver cancer is more likely to be caused by being overweight than by tobacco. more details from our health

correspondent sophie hutchinson. even primary school in the uk. today's report by cancer research uk says it is now clear that being obese with people at greater risk at the four types of cancer than smoking. every year obesity is believed to be responsible for 2000 more cases of bowel cancer than smoking. for kidney cancer, it is 1300 more cases. more than 500 of ovarian cancer and a hundred more insta nces ovarian cancer and a hundred more instances of liver cancer. when we started off ourcampaign, instances of liver cancer. when we started off our campaign, only 15% of people would mention obesity and as we are saying, obesity is the biggest one after smoking. the

latest attempt to one of the harm of obesity has come under fire. this billboard is meant to look like a cigarette packet, saying that smoking obesity puts many adults at greater risk of cancer, but some have described it as fat shaming and says it's stigmatizing in campaigns like this simply will not work. the government says we much be —— must be much more ambitious, saying that it is cut sugar from half the drinks on sale, is finding more opportunities for them to exercise in schools along with other initiatives. but others say it is just not enough. we are really encouraged, the government published a strong impact and had some really good effective measures to help curve obesity, such as the 9pm watershed and restricting things like buy one get one free on biscuits and supermarket. in a year

later, we have lots of consultations but very little action. ultimately it is the figures that will prove policies to tackle overweight and working, but at the moment, a reduction and the numbers of people who are obese still seems a long ways off. arizona has pulled a one million dollar grant to help nike build a new factory in a dispute over the firm's withdrawal of a trainer featuring an old us flag.the state's governor had condemned nike's trainerfeaturing an old us flag. the state's governor had condemned nike's decision which was prompted by complaints about its use of a flag which was embraced by white nationalists. joining us now from new york is our business correspondent samira hussain. this is a very strange story, roll it back a little bit and tell us about this train or what is controversial about it. to celebrate the 4th ofjuly, the independence day for the united states, nike was putting out a trainer that

commemorated an order version of the american flag. this particularflag had only 13 stars on it and it went ina circular had only 13 stars on it and it went in a circular pattern. and this flag was used during the revolution and those 13 stars represent the 13 colonies. and some have argued that that flag actually does some harm and causes some offence because it goes back to a time in which the united states was known for using slavery and, as you rightly pointed out, it has been used by some really right leaning nazi associated groups and for that reason, nike has said, let's just pull the sneakers from all of our stores and thus not have anyone submit all. but arizona is not pleased by that. there are several politicians that have now come out speaking against the moves made by nike, arizona said that, the

governor of arizona came out to say that nike is just bowing down to being overly politically correct and that they should not have done this and asa that they should not have done this and as a result, we are going to get rid of that $1 million grant. that said, the town of goodyear which is in arizona, which is where this factory was going to go to, that the mayor of that particular city said, look, we are in this really tough position because you have the governor saying one thing but the reality is, nike was going to bring 500 jobs to that town. let meant the present slogan by bringing jobs back, you would've thought that would've been a good thing no word from donald trump yet? no word from president trump on this controversy, but as you rightly pointed out, one that the things that the president wa nts to that the things that the president wants to do is bring backjobs, not

just anyjobs wants to do is bring backjobs, not just any jobs but wants to do is bring backjobs, not just anyjobs but manufacturing jobs and it was clear that nike was going to open a manufacturing factory. but are they going to do with others trainers? it is funny that you mention that, nike is bringing them all back and said to the stores, do not sell them but there are people that have gotten their hands on them and now sneakers are really big business for those people that are interested like to trade them on specific websites, those sneakers are going for $2500 now. some 4th of july it's going to be for someone. good to speak to you today and hope you have a lovely day. it's 100 years since the housing act was introduced; its aim, to build "homes fit for heroes" for the soldiers coming back from the first world war. it marked the start of a nationwide system of council housing that

lasted for most of the 20th century. danjohnson has been looking at the impact of social housing in sheffield. from the national housing federation, what do you think is it a bright future? but the current political leaders want to do something momentous for the future of our country, they could really do well to reflect back on what we saw 100 years ago with the birth of counsel housing. we now see a crisis that mirrors 100 years ago on the provision of social housing for people who need it most. how do we get back to the point where there is another crisis? decades of under investments from consecutive governments, which is left is of the shortfall of 4 million homes across the country. we know we need to be

building 145,000 affordable homes every year, including 90,000 homes or social events. but i can only happen if the government is prepared to put its money where it's not there is and invest considerably to £12.8 billion per yearfor the next ten years. the government says and there are more homes being built in recent yea rs, there are more homes being built in recent years, do see any signs of improvement? with the authority partners they are playing their part, continuing to build despite the lack of funding, we to do that and it has been tough. but if you really wa nt and it has been tough. but if you really want to meet the needs of the families were made homeless every day over the past year, we really need to do more, we need to make sure we are delivering the homes that they need. from the original homes for hero mantra came in a cce pta nce homes for hero mantra came in acceptance that a council house was for anybody who wanted one. now we

seem for anybody who wanted one. now we seem to be at the point where it's only for those who are really desperate need. you think that is the way things should be from now on? there was a set to be realistic that if you're the real priority case? social housing is intended to be for people who are on low income and people and they need it most. we are tired by people who are homeless and need extra support when they have mental health problems, people who are getting older and need help and support or people that have disabilities. this is essential housing for the people who need it most and the lessee of government investment, it is hard to see how thatis investment, it is hard to see how that is going to continue.” investment, it is hard to see how that is going to continue. i think eve ryo ne that is going to continue. i think everyone would agree that there is a massive housing challenge as many would describe it, the government says that there is and they are building more homes but still, on one in every five that is sold under the right to buy actually gets replaced. that is a huge challenge for the future. saudi arabia has

announced that nikki menage will headline a music festival in the latest sign of listening restrictions and the festival. in jeddah later this month. there've been many performances in saudi arabia by western pop stars in recent months — marking a major shift towards a more permissive attitude to entertainment. but minaj — with her highly provocative style in both lyrics and costume — marks a new challenge to the traditionally conservative code. now it's time for a look at the weather. more pronounced north—south weather split developing over the next 24 hours, clear skies for many parts of england and wales in a good part of scotland, but cloudy conditions and seasons like this are class the highlands and abbotts of rain the next level thinking of further as he had to the night. pushing over scotla nd had to the night. pushing over scotland and northern ireland, some com pletely scotland and northern ireland, some completely cloudy nights here in this tree skies across parts of the mittens into wells, temperatures down into single figures. for the
