1:34 pm
you're watching bbc news. the time is 13:34. i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre. the second week at wimbledon is under way. every fourth round match in the men's and women's draws is scheduled for today. john watson is at the all england club. good afternoon. john, we have an upset, ash barty, the french open champion looked well set for the quarters but then fell apart. yes. this is a huge upset, as you say. the world number one is out. she was beaten over three sets by alison riske who is through to her first grand slam quarterfinal. it was shaping up well for ash barty having taken the first set 6—3, but she dropped the second losing that 2-6 she dropped the second losing that 2—6 and then 3—6 in the third. she was unbeaten in 15 matches and was one of the favourites for the women's title this year but her exit
1:35 pm
leaves things wide open. you just wonder whether that play into serena williams hand 7 she wonder whether that play into serena williams hand? she is an action on court number one. we can head there 110w. court number one. we can head there now. and bring you the latest where serena williams is 11—2 up in the first set. in discussion with the umpire at the moment over something in that first set. it is serena williams chasing a potential 24th grand slam to pull her level with margaret court's record as you say thatis margaret court's record as you say that is what is motivating her this year. no doubles action today. they will be back in action tomorrow. serena williams looking good to book her place in another wimbledon quarterfinal. it is a manic monday, as you say, which means all of the matches will be played today to a conclusion. we can head out to centre court where rath and adele is in action. he
1:36 pm
his opponent is feeling the effects of that late—night finish. he will be disappointed having not managed to progress. sousais sousa is probably feeling tired and is being given the runaround. a big match to come and it could be that toughest match against patrick patrick of can coco gauff which the court filings? the youngest person since 1991. she lit up the first week and she could wear light at the second
1:37 pm
week as well. plenty to look forward to. tyson fury says a rematch with wbc heavyweight champion deontay wilder will take place on 22 february next year. their originalfight in december ended in a draw, but fury was convinced he'd won. in his only bout since then, he stopped german tom schwarz last month. wilder is due to defend his belt against luis ortiz, win that and a rematch would be possible with fury, who says a deal has been signed. after the usa's victory in the women's world cup final, their captain meghan rapinoe says that progress has to be made when it comes to pay in the women's game. a large section of the crowd
1:38 pm
chanting: equal pay! equal pay! a large section of the crowd after their win against the netherlands in yesterday's final chanted "equal pay". the us team has been in dispute with their national federation for a number of months. the fifa president gianni infantino was also booed. rapinoe, who won the golden boot and golden ball, for top scorer and best player at the tournament, had also highlighted the differences in prize money between the women's and men's world cups, she says there success has to be and men's world cups, she says their success has to be a springboard for change. obviously it is huge. i think we have been a little shy to put so much pressure on ourselves because we have the case no matter what. we brought the lawsuit. this just blows it out of the water. it isn't even about that any mark, it is about doing the right thing. the
1:39 pm
federation is in a unique position to ride this wave of good fortune and get on board and hopefully set things right for the future. more on that story and more on the bbc sport website. you can watch all of the tennis on the as well. bbc.co.uk/sport we will be back with updates later on. thank you very much. the congolese warlord bosco ntaganda has been found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the international criminal court. judges at the hague ruled that he was guilty of all 18 charges against him, including rape, murder, sexual slavery and recruiting child soldiers. he'd evaded capture for seven years until infighting led to his surrender in 2013. anna holligan has more from the hague. so this is a case in which the persecuted, became the persecutor. bosco ntaganda was a child social telemetry soldier. he had been kidnapped himself and conscripted to fight
1:40 pm
and then he too began conscripting children under the age of 15. the charges were read out again in court today, some of them graphic. 49 bodies of men, women and babies found mutilated in a banana field. a pregnant woman killed while she was trying to protect herself from being raped. this was the trail of horror left behind by bosco ntaganda and his rebel forces in the ituri region of the drc between 2002 and 2003. he was found guilty on all 18 charges. this case is remarkable in two respects. aside from the fact he was actually a child soldier and grew into this career criminal, it is the first case in which a suspect has voluntarily surrendered themselves to the icc, so that was march 2013. he actually walked into the us embassy in rwanda and asked to be transferred here to the hague. and secondly, it is the first time
1:41 pm
that a suspect has been found guilty of sexual crimes, so sexual slavery and rape of women and children, aome of them, we heard today, of women and children, some of them, we heard today, as young as nine years old. that in itself will be seen as a victory of sorts for the prosecutor, fatou bensouda, who has made it to her life mission to make rape as a weapon of law recognised by this court, this international court ofjustice, and really put it on the statute and something that people in the field, these commanders, can be prosecuted for. we have already heard some response from human rights groups who say this is a measure of justice for the victims. and in terms of those victims, more than 2,000 were cleared to take part in this trial which has been going on for years now. the next stage will be to work out what kind of sentence he should be given because we know he has been in icc
1:42 pm
custody for six years. he has 30 days, bosco ntaganda has 30 days, to appeal against this guilty verdict and then the judges will decide how long he should spend behind bars for these crimes, if that appeal, of course, is unsuccessful. anna holligan there. the charity beat has exclusively told the bbc that nice guidelines for how the families of people with an eating disorder should be supported are not being properly followed. they're today launching new guidance. the victoria derbyshire programme had rare access to an eating disorder out—patient centre where they sat in on a group therapy session to see how the service aims to treat people. do you want to say what it is about the object that you have picked picked that makes sense to you about your anorexic identity? i have picked a gate which represents being trapped inside my eating disorder. like the real me is trapped inside the illness, kind of like i have drawn
1:43 pm
on this picture. i would say this was me and that is my eating disorder. it looks nice but really it is not your friend, it is your enemy. there will be some people watching who won't understand why, when you go back home after being in hospital, you can'tjust eat. yeah. can you explain that? it is different, isn't it? it is so different. we know we need to eat and when people say "just eat", it is not like that. it is frustrating for us because deep down we know to eat but we have got something else inside us that is stopping us eating. if that makes sense. yes, it does. more than1 million people in the uk have an eating disorder. around three—quarters of them are women and girls. emmerdale actor gemma oaten was diagnosed with an eating disorder as a child. she told victoria
1:44 pm
about her experience and why early intervention is so important. i started to withdraw and eat less at the age of ten, and my mum and dad very quickly picked up on the warning signs. they took me to the gp who said i wasn't low enough in weight to have a problem, it will be fine, it is just a phase. long story short, two years later, i was admitted to a children's psychiatric unit and given 2a hours to live if i didn't eat or drink. i hope this programme will highlight that early intervention is key. the longer we wait to treat somebody with an eating disorder, the more of a hold it has on that person. waiting for the weight to change does not change what is already there. is that true? the longer somebody has an eating disorder before treatment, the longer they will take to recover, is that true? absolutely. as with most disorders, the earlier you get in there, the better the outcomes. we set up freed, an early intervention service for eating disorders, and it was quite surprising that we had not done this before. we found that if we can get
1:45 pm
in there early, if people can come to treatment early, and we can provide a service that is friendly and open and warm, and they can come and get evidence—based treatment that they will go on to live their lives a lot quicker. also in that group with victoria was sue barnes who lost her daughter last year as a result of anorexia. she explained just how important out—patient centres and supportive communities are. what can i say? it is the biggest fear. it is the most painful thing you will ever experience. it is the greatest loss and there is a huge hole in my heart. i managed to get through each day by having a mission. my mission is the trust so i can bring to the area i come from, which is the isle of wight, a group — and gemma
1:46 pm
is going to help me as well — for parents, carers and friends because there are so many isolated pockets in this country that don't provide any support. if your daughter is taken, as mine was, to another part of the country to be treated, you can't afford to travel there and if you can, you cut get there between six and seven when the parents meeting is. you are cast adrift and you look to charities and beat and other websites to try to find help and support that you need and it doesn't exist where you need it. you need this. you need a hold, you need the warmth of another human being beside you. my life will never be the same but i have a mission, and my mission is to save at least one person and that is what i will do. if you'd like to see more of that discussion you can watch the whole show by searching for the victoria derbyshire programme on bbc iplayer. in a moment we'll have all the business news,
1:47 pm
but first the headlines on bbc new: president trump responds to criticism of him from the uk ambassador to washington, saying sir kim darroch has not served the uk well — as the foreign secretary orders an inquiry into the leak. british airways faces a record £183 million fine after hackers breached its it systems last year, compromising customers' data. ba says it's surprised and disappointed. heather mills says she feels vindicated after settling her phone hacking case against the news of the world — she says she says it's the largest ever single court settlement. afternoon. i am jamie afternoon. i amjamie robinson. business needs now. deutsche bank has made the first of the 18,000 job cuts announced on sunday as part of a radical reorganisation. teams of share traders in tokyo and other offices in asia were told this morning that theirjobs were going. shares in deutsche bank were down nearly 2% by mid—morning as investors reacted to the shake—up. discount supermarket chain lidl will open 12 new scottish stores creating around 500 jobs. the chain already has 98 shops across scotland, with construction already under way on sites in dumbarton,

dundee, east kilbride, cowdenbeath and larkhall. kylie minogue, sheryl crow and lewis capaldi are among the glastonbury stars to give clothes to oxfam in support of a campaign against throwaway fashion. the artists gave some of their clothing to the charity during the festival in somerset, with the aim of encouraging fans to buy second—hand fashion. let's get more on the news that british airways is facing a record fine of £183 million for last year's breach of its security systems. it is for last year's breach in the security system. the airline, owned by iag, says it was "surprised and disappointed" by the penalty from the information commissioner's office. at the time, ba said hackers had carried out a "sophisticated, malicious criminal attack" on its website. maureen meadows is professor of strategic management at coventry university. i think companies will feel that this is a bit of a wake—up call. in
1:49 pm
the past, fines have been perhaps tens of thousands of pounds, perhaps hundreds of thousands of pounds. the most famous or infamous example being facebook. it was fined £500,000 for data sharing around cambridge analytical. this is a big forward. all research shows that most companies don't take security, cyber security and personal data security, sufficiently seriously, so ido security, sufficiently seriously, so i do think this will be a wake—up call for many organisations. it is also interesting because british airways, of course, is not a tech company. we are not talking about facebook or google here. we are talking about an airline so this really does fly above that all need to think seriously. any company that is handling personal data. whether it is online shopping, supermarkets 01’ it is online shopping, supermarkets orany it is online shopping, supermarkets or any other sort of company, eve ryo ne or any other sort of company, everyone has to take personal data
1:50 pm
seriously, it security. they can be fined for losing or not keeping our personal data secure, and that is a big step change, i think, as a result of today's proposed fines. if you are looking to employ a skilled member of staff and are struggling to find the right person, your‘re not alone. over two—thirds of employers say they have been in that position over the last year. they just can't find the right people. the open university business barometer has been trying to put a cost on what it calls the skills gap, and it reckons recruitment fees, increased salaries, temporary staffing and hiring at a lower level to build skills internally sets organisations back £41; billion. laura burley is the open university's apprenticeships ambassador. can you put this into context? is it new 01’ can you put this into context? is it new or has it been going on for some time? the open university has today published its annual business barometer. this is the third year we have done it. the trend is showing
1:51 pm
that £41; billion has been spent plugging those gaps, but that has declined since last year. it is a 30% decline. interestingly, this year, more companies have put over 50% of those companies have increased their costs in training and development so more companies are increasingly turning to grow your own skills. that is good news. can you give us reasons why this is happening? it could be a number of factors. companies have said that they cannot find the skills that they cannot find the skills that they need. it could partly be driven by brexit. three in five have said they are concerned about skills but also the apprenticeship levy has been a catalyst to change. they are looking at the shortages they have got and they are looking to flexible options to change that. but the
1:52 pm
—— at the open university you can do it flexibly, online. the fact that people are training people internally so we are getting as it we re internally so we are getting as it were home grown expertise, that is a good thing, isn't it? it seems to be catching on. my kids are going to be 30, 40, 50 year career. lifelong learning. we have to be constantly retraining and re—skinning people. it is fantastic. at the open university, it really welcome that. there are flexible ways you can do that. thank you very much. in other business news... six of britain's skyscrapers produce as much carbon dioxide as 3,000 cars, according to a report in today's times suggests. it says that the london landmarks produce more than 12,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.

british airways will begin talks with its pilots on monday to avert a potentially damaging summer strike. pilots have rejected a pay increase worth 11.5% over three years, which the airline says is "fair and generous". however, the british airline pilots' association says its members deserve a better offer, as ba has been making healthy profits. flyadeal, the low—cost saudi arabian airline, has cancelled an order for 30 boeing 737 max aircraft. the decision follows the crashes of two 737 max jets, the first in indonesia in october followed by one in ethiopia in march, which killed 346 people. since then, the aircraft has been grounded and boeing has been working on a fix that will satisfy regulators. that's all the business news. back to you. thank you very much. following the success of ‘pride'

1:57 pm
the sunshine is a little bit hazy. the best of the blue skies in the southern counties of england and the far north of scotland. the cloud in between will bring some splashes of rain to northern ireland through the rest of this afternoon, may be towards the isle of man, and could see one or two isolated heavy showers across some southern counties of england. but here, temperatures 22 or 23 celsius. the cloud thickens up as we go into this evening. some heavier bursts of rain developing in northern ireland, spreading across parts of scotland and eventually northern england as we go through the night and maybe the far north of wales. it keep temperatures up, 10 to 15 celsius as we start your tuesday morning. into tuesday, high pressure still trying to hold on across southern counties but around the top edge of it we have got weather fronts which continue to produce the cloud and outbreaks of rain. we take a look around for the morning commute, whilst orkney and shetland will be sitting pretty in the sunshine first thing, the rest of scotland are predominately cloudy, some heavier bursts of rain working their ways to west to east.
1:58 pm
i think the heaviest of the rain should be over in glasgow by 8am but it will be pushing in across the edinburgh area. the worst of the overnight rain will have cleared away for a time. dry here. later, patchy rain or drizzle for northern england, north wales, though the odd heavier burst through the cumbrian fells. east anglia, southern counties of england, south wales, should be dry but a fair bit of cloud as they will be in wimbledon to start your day. there will be something of that cloud and even though it is not quite as warm with highs of 21, make sure you have got the sunscreen on the. the sun is still very strong and can get through it. we will see a bit more sunshine breaking through in the south during tuesday afternoon, lifting temperatures, but further north northern england, northern ireland, scotland, further cloud. outbreaks of rain coming and going, some heavier bursts in northern ireland during the afternoon. temperatures in the teens across scotland, low 205 may be mid 205 across southern counties of england. while most of all in the south—west. another one day with cloud breaks in the south on wednesday but a chance of a few showers in east anglia. northern england, scotland, northern ireland, again, plenty of cloud. rain coming and going. as we go through into thursday, slightly more humid feel.
