hello, good morning. scotland yard has caused anger in some parts of the media, warning against the publication of leaked government documents such as those that led to the resignation of the british ambassador in washington. a senior police chief said editors and publishers could face possible criminal action if there were further leaks. the demand came after the force launched a criminal inquiry into the leaking of sir kim darroch's emails. he resigned on wednesday, after his unflattering views of donald trump's white house drew a furious response from the president. the incident has been a hot topic in the conservative leadership race, as our political correspondent, nick eardley reports. kim darroch, the uk's man in washington.

he'll leave soon, though, after leaked e—mails criticising president trump caused a huge diplomatic row. last night, the met said it was investigating the leak. assistant commissioner neil basu said: there's a political row, too — borisjohnson was criticised after he refused to say he'd keep sir kim as ambassador. last night, grilled by andrew neil, he accepted an account of his comments, albeit an incorrect one, had had an impact. here's what he said sir kim told him. he said that what somebody had relayed to him had certainly played and would have been a factor. so what — your lack of support for him was a factor in his resignation? well, i think that unfortunately, what i said on that tv debate was misrepresented to kim. some tories have accused mrjohnson of throwing the ambassador under the bus.

his allies say that's nonsense. later at the hustings for members, one tory member was not impressed. but what i was trying to say... audience member: 0h, answer the bloody question! cheering and applause. the other candidate, jeremy hunt, faced pressure, too. he says he might delay brexit again to get a new deal. but for how long? on or around the 31st, it has to be before christmas. i would expect so, yes. expect so, but you cannot say for sure? is there any chance we could still go into 2020 and still be a member of the eu? i don't believe so, no. but you don't rule it out? i don't believe that would be the case. that's not a guarantee, though, and some fear more uncertainty and more delay. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. joining me now is our political correspondent, peter saull. this set of interviews did seem to

draw some blood from both candidates last night. yes, a very uncomfortable evening for both candidates. boris johnson under pressure over his comments on the tv debate earlier in the week, in which he failed to get his full support for the man he failed to get his full support forthe man in he failed to get his full support for the man in washington, kim derek. he admitted last night that those comments had been a factor in kim ‘s decision to resign earlier in the week, although he said his comments had been misrepresented to the ambassador —— kim darroch. jeremy hunt is under pressure over whether he can deliver, take us out of the european union on time on october 31. this is something that keeps cropping up for him. he was also questioned at length over his tax and spending plans. neither man came out of that saying that they we re came out of that saying that they were ina came out of that saying that they were in a better place, but this affair with kim darroch keeps cropping up for borisjohnson. it is an issue that we could never have envisaged at the start of this

contest. as the old political saying goes, contest. as the old political saying goes, events, dear boy, events. it does appear to be having an impact on the contest. a lot of ballot papers are still in peoples homes, we understand. some conservative members are yet divide. they may be biding their time, - are a theme biding their time, there are a theme oi’ biding their time, there are a theme or castings still to go. but and essex are today, and this seems to be the anecdotal evidence that tory members are going along to these local events and hearing candidates speak before making up their minds. as we saw in that report, there is some frustration among conservative members that boris johnson some frustration among conservative members that borisjohnson perhaps is not directly answering the questions. it will be interesting to see if there is a shift in mood towards jeremy hunt, although largely i have to say, it is boris johnson who gets the warmer welcome. of course, that is the whole point of that hustings process, it should inform the dates that the members make. -- votes. yes, this is not

just a conservative contest, this is about choosing a prime minister and i'm sure that will weigh heavily on many peoples minds. as andrew neil said last night, there is a question mark over whether borisjohnson is loose lipped. if he were to become prime minister, many members have already said they will bounce back, but they are running out of time, only a week or so to pull it back in. we will know the result a week on tuesday, but there are still quite a few ballot papers to be returned, and it may not be the foregone conclusion that people are expecting. joining me now is tom tugendhat, the chair of the foreign affairs select committtee. good morning, thank you forjoining us on good morning, thank you forjoining us on bbc news this morning. let me ask you first of all, should conservative members be concerned by borisjohnson ‘s

conservative members be concerned by boris johnson ‘s handling conservative members be concerned by borisjohnson ‘s handling of the kim darroch question? well, it is one of the considerations we have all got to make, we have to realise that whoever walks through that famous black door in a three days' time will have a hosepipe of decisions firing at them, and judgment really matters. it is one of the factors we have got to bear in consideration. todayit have got to bear in consideration. today it is a decision as to whether oi’ today it is a decision as to whether or not to back one of her majesty ‘s envoys abroad, and so in the last few days i have had a lot of collea g u es few days i have had a lot of colleagues in the army getting in touch concerned whether or not the cove na nt touch concerned whether or not the covenant will back them. let me ask about this leaked enquiry. you called for it. leak inquiries are often notorious for being launched and then never leading anywhere. did you hope and believe that this will

lead to something? well, i know about as much about it as you do, all i know if this is incredibly important, the police are right to have got involved and i am glad they responded to my letter, and i am extremely glad that this appears to be taken very seriously to make sure we find whoever has betrayed the british people. frankly, the british people deserve better than this, the british people deserve the best information from their diplomats, and that means that their diplomats need to be able to trust that the government will have their back. what about this concern that has been raised that the tone of the police remarks by the assistant commissioner in charge of counterterrorism coming out this lea k counterterrorism coming out this leak enquiries seem to be sending rather a chill to the idea of press freedom? well, i don't think that is right. i think he is expressing

things, and i'm not going to comment on that, but many of us wish at various points that something wouldn't run in the media, but that doesn't mean we can stop it. in this circumstance, we should be very clear that press freedom is not going to change over this case. your former colleague george osborne has called it a very stupid and ill—advised. called it a very stupid and ill-advised. well, he speaks as a newspaper editor, said that is hardly surprising. but for those of us hardly surprising. but for those of us who have been campaigning very actively, particularly of late for media freedom, as you know, the commons foreign affairs committee is currently launching an enquiry into media freedom, how it links to the uk, but we know the fundamental building block to democracy is a free press and there is no way we would stop the media publishing things like that, even though i may wish they wouldn't. really, this

lea ked wish they wouldn't. really, this leaked enquiry is about finding the perpetrator, not trying to stem the publication of private government material. it is very clear, there is one person 01’ material. it is very clear, there is one person or maybe two people who have betrayed the british people here and leaked secret documents and private documents and sensitive documents, and that is whoever lea ked documents, and that is whoever leaked these files. and that is here at the enquiry is after. i wish the journalists hadn't written it, but there is a lot in papers i wish people had not written, but that does not mean i would ever try to stop them. thank you very much for joining us. facebook is facing a fine of nearly £4 billion over its handling of users' personal data. the social media giant has been hit by a series of privacy scandals, including one involving the political consultancy, cambridge analytica. the fine by the us federal trade commission is the largest ever against an american tech company. here's our north america

technology reporter, dave lee. it is the largest fine ever levied against a us technology company, but even so, face that ‘s many critics are calling it a little more than a slap on the rest for a company that made more than $15 billion in the first three months of 2019 alone. the $5 billion facebook will reportedly now pay is notjust for this, but for a broad range of privacy violations. it is said that faith that breached a promise made in 2011 over how personal data would be used. what it is not yet entirely clear is what additional level may be imposed on a stick in the future. according to reports in the us media, the measures won't include any personal repercussions for facebook ‘s chief executive mark zuckerberg. facebook told investors in april that it had already put

aside most of the money needed to pay this penalty, meaning there will be little financial strain on the company. one former official from the us trade regulator said he felt faith that considered this fine simply the cost of doing business. —— facebook. simply the cost of doing business. -- facebook. facebook has consistently violated consumer privacy and i believe in the us it isa privacy and i believe in the us it is a calculated decision. the company has prioritised great at any cost. facebook would not comment on the settlement, but has in the past said it had learned tough lessons and was working hard to change. that won't be enough. one us senator called this a mosquito bite, pledging like many lawmakers around the world, to create strict data privacy regulation, designed to rein in facebook, and other tech giants like it. ministers are playing down the significance of sending another warship to the gulf. hms duncan will join the british tanker that was threatened by iranian gunboats earlier this week.

iran has already warned the uk it's playing a "dangerous game". meanwhile, politicians in america have voted to restrict president trump's ability to attack iran after he claimed he didn't need their approval for such an action. at least 26 people, including one briton, are now reported to have been killed in a car bombing at a hotel in somalia. gunmen are then reported to have stormed the building in the southern port as regional politicians and clan elders met inside. the islamist group al shabaab said it carried out the attack. people in the us state of louisiana are bracing themselves for tropical storm barry, which is expected to make landfall later. officials say the storm has been growing in strength over the gulf of mexico and is likely to become a hurricane by the time it reaches the us coast. from new orleans, sophie long reports high winds lashing the louisiana coast as tropical storm

barry approaches land. as it travelled slowly across the warm waters of the gulf of mexico, families, friends and neighbours filled sandbags in the hope of protecting their homes. a state of emergency was declared days ago, and people were told to stock up on supplies. they may not have another opportunity for several days. people here have seen stronger storms, but it's the amount of rain — estimates of up to 2a inches — that barry will bring that people are really worried about. i'm on the levy on the south side of the mississippi river. you can see new orleans just over there. now, forecasters are predicting that a storm surge is gonna travel upriver from the gulf of mexico. just to give you a sense of how high water levels already are, people tell me that normally, they can walk amongst these bushes and trees that have been almost completely submerged in water. forecasters say the combination of conditions predicted over the next few days could cause water

levels to crest at a historic high, and dangerously close to the top of the levies that protect new orleans from being submerged. the defence and drainage systems have been strengthened since the catastrophic flooding that followed hurricane katrina. that storm of 2005 claimed more than 1,800 lives. but the city's mayor has warned there's no drainage system in the world that can handle the amount of rain they're expecting to fall over the next 48 hours. sophie long, bbc news, new orleans. more than 30 people have been killed in floods in nepal and north—eastern india. torrential monsoon rains have caused landslides across the region and swollen rivers to reach dangerous levels. hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by the rising floodwaters. heavy rains are expected to continue in the coming days. the headlines on bbc news. scotla nd scotland yard asked the media not to

publish leaked government documents. the warning follows a leak which prompted the resignation of the british ambassador in washington. facebook is fined a record £4 billion to settle an investigation into violations of its users data privacy. tropical storm barry in louisiana, people are told to stay indoors as high winds and heavy flooding hit the us state. sport now, and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. it is the all—important ladies final at wimbledon. hello, good morning. serena williams will face simona halep in this afternoon ‘s wimbledon final, hoping to equal the current record of 24 grand slam titles. williams is looking for an eight wimbledon singles title and has enjoyed a largely untroubled run to the final, despite a string of injury problems this year. she has yet to claim a major title since returning to the circuit after having a baby last year. to get to those finals,

looking back to even being in those finals last year, was unbelievable. and now i am in a different place. i wa nt and now i am in a different place. i want calm, and instead of having nothing to lose, i feel like i want calm, and instead of having nothing to lose, ifeel like i have things to lose. but i also have nothing to lose, i am in the middle. i really want to do it, you know? i am ina i really want to do it, you know? i am in a different place because i wasn't really playing a month ago. it is really not about 24 or 23 or 25, it is reallyjust about getting out there and giving it my best effort, no matter what. out there and giving it my best effort, no matterwhat. no out there and giving it my best effort, no matter what. no matter what i do, i will always have a great career. we have that women's singles final covered for you. it is live on bbc and through the bbc sport website. lewis hamilton trailed his mercedes

team—mate in second practice for tomorrow ‘s british grand prix. i'll correspondent is at silverstone, where lewis hamilton has been successful in the past. this is an important weekend for him, isn't it? absolutely, all eyes are on lewis hamilton this weekend. the championship leader and five—time world champion is going for a record sixth victory here at his home track at the silverstone grand prix. he comes into the race having seen his team's dominance ended. hamilton had won six of the first eight races this season, and his team—mate won the other two. but just this season, and his team—mate won the other two. butjust two weeks ago at the austrian grand prix, max verstappen won the race. hamilton came home in fifth. he has not had the greatest start to this weekend. he did, as you say, come in second to his team—mate in practice, but it was a largely scrappy day for the world champion. he made a series of errors and struggle to put a lap together until a quick run at the

end of the second session. he said that his team would be digging deeper overnight to try to find the issue, and these people giving up to get into the circuit will be hoping that they do. qualifying starts at around 2pm. i don't know if you can see, but there are some ominous clouds behind me. there is a forecast for rain at tpm, which should make qualifying quite interesting. the third practice gets under way in 45 minutes' time and you can follow that on bbc radio five live and the bbc sport website and app. thank you. it is day two of the netball world cup. northern ireland are currently in action. they are 36-25 are currently in action. they are 36—25 up against sri lanka. england play scotland this afternoon. both sides got their campaigns off to a winning start yesterday, england come to be beat uganda 64—32. scotla nd come to be beat uganda 64—32. scotland got an important victory over samoa. the england coach, tracey neville, is not looking too far ahead tracey neville, is not looking too farahead in the tracey neville, is not looking too far ahead in the tournament. for us,

it is all about what the roses performance are, we have looked at the other teams over this four year cycle, we have played a game is probably everyone we will face apart from samoa, so it is about concentrating on our performance and building on that. looking at the key players who can actually make an impact, and that is crucial in these early stages of the competition. the thoughts of tracey neville. that is all the sport for now. thank you. financial pressures on private and independent day nurseries are creating a workforce crisis in england. that's according to the national day nurseries association, which says people are leaving teaching to work in retail where they can earn more. it blames the government for under funding free childcare places. our business correspondent, katy austin reports. get ready to catch it! this private day nursery in manchester wants as many of its staff as possible to be experienced and highly qualified. the manager, ann—marie, says finding and keeping those staff has recently got much harder.

we havejust had two members of staff that went travelling. one of them went three years ago, another has gone recently. i asked them if they would like to come back and one said that she was going to work in a supermarket and the other one in a bar because it was more money. was that the only reason? yes, the only reason, as i could not better the wages they were on. that's because most children here are eligible for government funded places. day nurseries have been warning for some time the government pays less than the market rate, causing a financial shortfall. now, there's a warning that it is increasingly affecting the type of staff they can afford to employ. what we have seen over the last three years is government funding staying completely stagnant, but at the same time they have got rising staff costs, rising business costs like business rates, and other things like pension contributions, all pushing their costs up, which leads much less money at the end of the day to cover staff wages. the department for education told us more children,

including from low income families, are now benefiting from free childcare, and it is investing in training eary years staff. but it is monitoring the sector closely, including workforce and costs. katie austen, bbc news. let's speak to neil leitch, chief executive of the early years alliance, a registered educational charity and the largest and most representative early yea rs membership organisation in england. thank you for being with us on bbc news this morning. first of all, how serious a problem is this in terms of the scale, the numbers, the proportion that is being lost?|j think the reality is it has never been worse. we have known for several years that we are in decline when it comes to actually recruiting people into the sector, but as your report clearly shows, there is a major problem at this point in time, as well as being a membership organisation, we operate some

nurseries in areas of deprivation. we had to temporarily close some of those nurseries because we cannot recruit staff. it is critical at this point in time, there is a reason why staff are choosing to go to supermarkets and into other sectors, and that is because we were singled out by the low pay commissionjust two singled out by the low pay commission just two years ago has been one of the worst payers in the country. that is because we do not get enough funding. so, in essence, you are saying that because the amount of money that is made available from the taxpayer to provide this service, to support the provision of early care for the youngest children, is not enough, your members can't pay staff sufficiently, and staff are voting with their feet? exactly. most providers i talk to want to do more, wa nt to providers i talk to want to do more, want to pay more, but when you have got funding rates that were calculated on data that goes back as far back as 2012—2013, and we are

now having to seek massive increases in minimum wages and so on, you have a major problem. you cannot keep doing this with poor funding, a major problem. you cannot keep doing this with poorfunding, we a major problem. you cannot keep doing this with poor funding, we are now in this position and it is disingenuous of government to pay the game that they pay more now into the game that they pay more now into the system than ever before because more money does not mean enough money, and we have something like... cani money, and we have something like... can ijust money, and we have something like... can i just pick money, and we have something like... can ijust pick up on that point? are you saying that yes, it is more money, but there is more demand, in other words there are more youngsters and so that counsels out the effect? quite, more cases have been offered and the government have offered more free hours, so the money is being spent delivering more places and more hours but again at a lower rate than it costs. when you get the government ‘s own report, saying that around 70% of childminders are earning around or less tha n childminders are earning around or less than the minimum wage, that

tells you something is wrong. when you see 16,000 childminders leave the sector in the last six years, that tells you something is wrong. 2500 in the last 2.5 years nurseries have gone by the wayside, and it will get worse. presumably in your area of this sector, childminders is often an informal area, but for an employer you have to pay the minimum wage. presumably there is a bottom line you can't fall below, but you are saying there is not enough and great opportunities to keep people in it? childminder is not an informal pathway for caring for children, they care and to educate. all child carers have an obligation to ca re all child carers have an obligation to care and educate children and yes, we should be receiving more than the minimum wage because it is a profession. i'm not trying to belittle people that operate on

checkout and so on, but this is a profession. we are caring for very young children, we are shaping their lives. we don't expect to basically have 50% of our work is having to claim benefits, and that is the position we are in. thank you for joining us. new zealand is holding its first public fire—arms collection event in christchurch as part of the government's response to the city's mosque shootings in march. high—powered semi—automatic were banned after the atrocity, and licensed owners who hand in their weapons will be compensated. dozens of people came to a racecourse in the south island city to hand in weapons that are now illegal. we are really proud of what we have achieved today. we have hit 169 people come through today. we have had handed over 224 firearms,

217 parts, and $433,000 have been paid out to people handing over firearms. so, the engagement with the public, or from firearms. so, the engagement with the public, orfrom the firearms. so, the engagement with the public, or from the firearms public in canterbury has been stunning. new zealand is being forced to change its attitude to firearms. gun ownership has been high, but the mask attacks four months ago in christchurch prompted a ban on military style semiautomatic —— mosque. $439 has been set aside to compensate owners of prohibited weapons. they have until december to hand them in. more than 250 buy—back events will be held across new zealand. some owners, though, are complaining that the amount of compensation they will receive is inadequate. but in christchurch, there is an acceptance that gun owners must do the right thing. the law changed and i can understand, you know, it makes

everyone feel safer. so yes, get it over and done with and hand it back. it wasn't an heirloom or an antique, it was just a firearm. i could get another one with the right size magazine tube. the australian man accused of the christchurch shootings has denied 51 charges of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder, 40 counts of attempted murder, and a terrorism charge. he is expected to go on trial next year. new national guidelines on how much sleep we should be getting are being planned by the government according to reports. the recommendations are expected as part of a series of proposals aimed at improving public health in the uk. health secretary, matt hancock is said to be looking at the idea to be part of health strategy. experts say most healthy adults need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. 100 years ago an neglected estate in essex was transformed into a place where young people

could embark on a life of adventure. gilwell park became the spirtitual home of the scouts. robert hall has been retracing scouting history as celebrations get underway to mark the location's 100th birthday. the opening of our gilwell park training school is, to my mind, the most important step that has occurred in the history of the movement since its inauguration. every time you drive through those gates and down the drive, there's that spirit of scouting, endeavour, of friendships, of that sense of family and belonging. and it is loved by scouts all over the world. it started with a rundown manor house an overgrown estate, and a group of east london scout volunteers here to bring another baden powell dream to reality. heather remembers the story her father victor told her of that visit. they got the train from

the east end of london, because it was an east end group, to chingford station and then they pulled that cart up to here. of course it was almost derelict by that time. they found they couldn't sleep in the house, it was just derelict. so they had to find somewhere and that's where they found the pigsty, because it had a roof on it and it was dry. 50,000 young people had flocked to scouting during the first world war. gilwell park's priority was to replace the leaders lost during the conflict. in the years since it opened its doors, gilwell park has trained over 50,000 adult volunteers and welcomed tens of thousands of visitors from all around the world. they included members of the 23rd poplar comedy —— the east london scout troop that started that restoration work. i have learned how to pitch a tent. i have learned how to tidy up a tent.
