title, she faces simona halep. and in half an hour, our media editor amol rajan speaks to ted sarandos, the chief content officer for netflix. good afternoon. borisjohnson and jeremy hunt have both defended the right ofjournalists to publish leaked government documents —— after police warned any further release of diplomatic cables could be a "criminal matter". yesterday, scotland yard announced that it was launching an investigation into the leak of dispatches from sir kim darroch. the british ambassador in washington had been highly critical of the trump administration. the leak of sir kim's comments led to his resignation. andy moore reports.

so kim derek has resigned, but that is not the end of the matter. macro -- kim is not the end of the matter. macro —— kim darroch. mr chung responded by calling the ambassador wacky and pompous. he said he could no logger table ten. in a statement last night scotla nd table ten. in a statement last night scotland yard launches criminal enquiry. the assistant commissioner give this one into the rest of the media... in may, the defence secretary was sacked after being accused of leaking secrets from the national security council. hrt denied.

scotla nd security council. hrt denied. scotland yard recalled on then to lodge a criminal enquiry, but they declined saying there is no evidence crime had been committed. the whole question of press freedom is now becoming a major issue in the battle to become the next prime minister. borisjohnson has to become the next prime minister. boris johnson has been to become the next prime minister. borisjohnson has been accused of throwing their kim darroch under the bus, but a testing today he defended press freedom. whoever has done it must be prosecuted. but, but, i have to say, that it cannot conceivably be right that newspapers or any other media organisation publishing such material should face prosecution. it is also very important to defend in a free society the right of the press to publish material that they think is in the public interest. leaks that they get, obviously it was not beach they get, obviously it was not beach the efficiency gets act. but, you know, in the 21st—century, the big

dividing line is going to be between open societies and closed societies. and the media generally are worried about this latest intervention from the police. it is somewhat ironic, isn't it? this week we have had the government stating the first global co nfe re nce government stating the first global conference for press media freedom, supposedly to other countries to be more transparent and to protect their mania and now, here we have scotland yard making threats against the press. before this latest intervention, thejournalist the press. before this latest intervention, the journalist who wrote the original story about sir kim darroch attended there might be more become. the battle of wills between the police and the press could be looming. let us get more analysis on this. the story has become more about whether the leaked document should have been published in the first place, one forgets what the leaked documents tell us. there

is possibly an inept government running america as they could be more to come, as we just heard. running america as they could be more to come, as wejust heard. a very clear line and some clarity being drawn up by both potential leaders of the uk this week. that is right. jeremy hunt this morning tweeted that message which we heard him deliver here at the hustings. then borisjohnson him deliver here at the hustings. then boris johnson followed, him deliver here at the hustings. then borisjohnson followed, as well. both men have been here, packed out crowd, after they got their teas, coffees and biscuits, they sat down to digest what each of they sat down to digest what each of the two men vying to be the party's next leader had to say. boris johnson went first, stating that, for example, some of those concerns around i know the abraxas were unfounded. saying that mars bars, for example, would still be available after a no—deal brexit. then, despite brexit being the biggest, most important topic on the agenda, there was not as much brexit

talk as you might expect. yes, those lea ked ca bles talk as you might expect. yes, those leaked cables were part of the competition, but also questions on immigration, crime and how the party a tt ra cts immigration, crime and how the party attracts younger voters and women to the conservative party, too. jeremy hunt followed after an hour, he began by advocating a message of unity. saying that both his supporters and those backing boris johnson would need to come together to unite the country after the vote. but asked by the interviewer on whether he would take up a position as chancellor any potential boris johnson government, he said the question was irrelevant, because he would be the one to win the vote. of course, we will know in a week and a half's time whose confidence has been warranted and whose confidence has been misplaced. when asked on stage whether the party members in the room, how many of them when new and they game in this morning whether they would be voting for either mrjohnson or mr hunt, most

of the rain put their hands up to say they were undecided when they came in this morning. how many of them had decided by the end of the hustings? most of those hands remained in the air. so we will know in about ten days' time which way they have decided to vote. that is amazing, thank you very much. 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, cbs correspondent hilary lane gave us this update. the street is empty as the rain and wind continue to intensify. barry is expected to be a hurricane by the time it makes landfall. here in new o rlea ns time it makes landfall. here in new orleans there are no evacuation orders. 10,000 people outside of the

city limits were evacuated, here shelter is in place. residents are encouraged to stay home. we know people are hungry down, the flashlight and water are completely sold out. this is a big test of the levies system here that was upgraded after hurricane katrina. the levies arejust 20 after hurricane katrina. the levies are just 20 feet, so flooding is a big concern here in your lens. let us just show you the scene live 110w. let us just show you the scene live now. this is just let us just show you the scene live now. this isjust near let us just show you the scene live now. this is just near new orleans. not looking too threatening right 110w. not looking too threatening right now. but this isjust not looking too threatening right now. but this is just the fringes of the storm, certainly feeling they went and you can see this guys have turned a darker grey. somebodyjust braving the bridge they are. it is quite airy looking at the moment. they are used to store is, of course, ina they are used to store is, of course, in a spite of the united states. criticism over the handling

ofa states. criticism over the handling of a storm that hit new orleans under george bush's presidency, that there is not enough reaction when new there is not enough reaction when n ew o rlea ns there is not enough reaction when new orleans went underwater. america said a lot of lessons were learned from that. we will keep and i on storm barry as it makes its approach to the us coast. a man has been stabbed to death in birmingham in what police say may have been a targeted attack. officers were called to the sparkhill area of the city last night. the man, who was in his 30s, was confirmed dead at the scene. 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. even so, facebook‘s little critics are calling it a little more than a slap in the rest for a company that made when a $15 billion in the first three months of 2019 alone. the $5 billion space will now reportedly play is not just billion space will now reportedly play is notjust for billion space will now reportedly play is not just for cambridge analytical, but for a broad range of privacy violations. it was said facebook breach promises made in 2011, over how personal data would be used. what is not yet entirely clear is what additional measures may be imposed on facebook in the future. such as independent oversight of the firm's privacy practices. according to reports in the us media, the measures will not include any personal repercussions for facebook‘s chief executive mark stocker burke. 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 space considered the spine simply the cost of doing business. facebook has consistently, aggressively violated consumer privacy. i believe it is a calculated decision. i think the company has prioritise growth at any cost. facebook would not comment on the settlement, but has any pass that it has lent tough lessons and was working hard to change that will not be enough. one us senator called this vine a mosquito bite. pledging, like many lawmakers around the world, to create strict data pepsi 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 willjoin 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. a little earlier the former defence secretary sir michael fallon said britain had to protect itself. it is obviously a winning situation, i think the government is right to reinforce our presence there. this matters to us as a waterway, it is the waterway through which our oil and gas tankers pass, so we will need more presence there. but we also need to work closely with alleys, we cannot leave it to the united states to protect our ships. we will need to work with france and other allies to ensure that this international waterway is safeguarded and that our ships do have the right of passage which they enjoy under international law. what iran has been doing is attacking their western shipping. there had been mine based on norwegian and japanese tankers and so on. we need

to make it very clear to the regime that we do not want to escalate the situation, on the contrary, we like to de—escalate the tension. but equally, there has to be a red line. we have to be prepared to protect oui’ we have to be prepared to protect our own ships. at least 26 people, including one briton, are now confirmed to have been killed in an attack at a hotel in somalia. gunmen rammed a car containing explosives into the asa—sey hotel and then stormed the building in the southern port regional politicians and clan elders were holding a meeting inside. the islamist group al shabaab said it carried out the attack. scuffles have broken out in hong kong. thousands people were demonstrating against traders from mainland china bulk buying products

in hong kong. it is the latest, of course, ina in hong kong. it is the latest, of course, in a string of demonstrations for more than a month 110w. demonstrations for more than a month now. j so you the scene that now. it is about nine in the evening. we have got police vehicles there, as you can see. this is the clash point at the moment. this is over traders coming into china. of course, the bigger picture is that many people living in hong kong feel very strongly that china is encroaching on hong kong's independence from mainland china over its laws, trading and its rights to protest like this, as well. there has been some quite heavy clamp—downs on the last three of four weeks on protest like this. protesters there just very nearly border of mainland china. looking slightly hemmed in by the police, but that is the scene there at the moment. we will keep

you updated as things develop. more than 30 people have been killed in floods in nepal and north—eastern india. torrential monsoon rains have caused landslides and swollen rivers to reach dangerous levels across the region. hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by the rising floodwaters. heavy rains are expected to continue in the coming days. new zealand has been 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 weapons were banned after the atrocity in which 51 people were killed. licensed owners who hand in their weapons will be compensated as phil mercer explains. 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 had 169 people come through today, we have had handed over 224 firearms,

217 parts, and $153,000 had been paid out to people handing over firearms. the engagement with the public from the firearms public in canterbury has been stunning. new zealand has been forced to change its attitudes to firearms. gun ownership has been high, but the mosque attack four months ago in christchurch prompted a ban on military—style semiautomatics. more than $130 million 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 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, it makes everyone feel safer, so yeah, get it over and done with and hand it back. it wasn't an heirloom or an antique, just a firearm. i can 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 and a terrorism charge. he is expected to go on trial next year. the headlines on bbc news... anger as scotland yard asks the media not to publish leaked documents. the floodgates have been close in new orleans, it is in preparation for tropical storm barry. storm surges and heavy rain

are expected later. facebook is reportedly fined a record £4 billion to settle an investigation into violations of its users data pepsi. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell has accused international bodies including the world bank and imf of not being fit to tackle climate change. speaking to us earlier this afternoon, mr mcdonnell called for a shake—up of international economic institutions, and gave his views on the anti—semitism row surrounding the labour party. with regard to anti—semitism, let me make it absolutely clear, my criticism is that we have not been fast enough or recess enough. i was angry about what happened to years ago, when there was no real implementation of the report of. what's happened is about any new general secretary and she has speeded up the process. i was told,

eight times faster than anything in the past in terms of dealing with cases. secondly, ithink the past in terms of dealing with cases. secondly, i think bringing the past in terms of dealing with cases. secondly, ithink bringing in a proper legal panel to make sure that we use the law effectively and never lose a case on these issues. i think that has proved to be much more effective and we are now seeing that investment in those resources pay—out. but we have had a historic problem of quite a period now and we are dealing with it. i do not believe it is on any scale than the figures that we have seen. i was last of the figure is 0.0 06% of membership of the labour party that had been accused of anti—semitism. i do not care for it is that small, do not care if it is one anti—semite in oui’ not care if it is one anti—semite in our labour party it is one to many. we have got to deal with it. i believe we do have businessmen place to deal with that now, we are now being investigated by the human rights commission. i'm looking forward to that, i welcome that. i'm

hoping they will be able to tell us, give us any lessons about how we can improve the system and if they do we should adopted immediately and get on with it. i remember in 2005, when, at that point in time, under tony blair plus michael h ship, the labour party were trialling posters which were anti—semitic. labour party were trialling posters which were anti-semitic. can you explain must they work as? labour posters but we had a jewish leader of the conservative party, the labour party made posters that made him look like shylock. they were using old, anti—semitic tropes. that was discovered and must put on entry. i was angry about it then, so it isa entry. i was angry about it then, so it is a lesson for all of us, actually. that we have not tackled anti—semitism in our society overall and it infects, i think, anti—semitism in our society overall and it infects, ithink, so anti—semitism in our society overall and it infects, i think, so many of oui’ and it infects, i think, so many of

our institutions. what we have got to do is recognise that. this country has had a problem with anti—semitism that goes back centuries and i think we all became complacent, thinking we had with advocated or over came at. no, we hadn't. we have got to learn that lesson. 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 forjobs in areas like retail where they can earn more. the association is calling on the government to provide more money to support free childcare places. our business correspondent, katy austin reports. this private day nursery in east manchester want as many of its staff as possible to be experienced and highly qualified. the manager says finding and keeping the staff has recently finding and keeping the staff has rece ntly got finding and keeping the staff has recently got much harder. we have just had to members of staff at when travelling. one might three years ago and one recently. i asked them

they would like to come back and they would like to come back and they both said they were going to work. mum is in a supermarket and the other in a bar, because it was more money. was at the only reason? yes. she says is because most people here are government funded places. day rhys webb and morning for some time that the government pays less than the market rate, causing a financial shortfall. now, one than the market rate, causing a financialshortfall. now, one group is warning that that is increasingly affecting the type of star they can afford to employ. what we have seen of the last three years is government standing stays completely stagnant, but at the same time they have got rising business costs and rates and other things like pension contributions all pushing the cost up. this leaves a much less money at the end of the day to cover staff wages. made the department for education told us more children including from low income families i now benefiting from free childcare and it is investing in training

earlier star. but it is monitoring the sector closely, including workforce and costs. parents in wales are calling for a country—wide policy on sun—safety in schools after reports of children getting sunburnt. unions advise that teachers should not apply suncream to children at school, but some parents are arguing that a single application before the school day is not enough to prevent burning. councils say it is up to individual schools in wales to set a sun—safety policy. 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. for more than 200 years, a lighthouse has stood at orfordness on the coast of suffolk.

but experts fear it won't be there for much longer. homemade defences to stop it from toppling into the sea have now been overwhelmed. volunteers are hoping to rebuild a smaller replica nearby, salvaging the famous lantern, as richard daniel reports home—made sea defences have been overwhelmed. over the centuries have been at least 19 lighthouses here, this they last. home—made sea defences had been overwhelmed. it isjust part of life really. mark is one of a band of volunteers who have had to accept time is running out. inside 109 steps, trodden by countless lighthouse keepers, lead to the top. a spectacular view that soon will be lost. unless we build something they'll probably never be another one, with technology as it moves on, but it is still used as a waypoint, people still look at it,

even local fishermen when they are coming in, they know they are close to home. the erosion has been unforgiving. in 2005, the last lighthouse keeper paced the distance to the sea. the lighthouse trust now hopes to save what it can. this was built as an oil store to store the sperm whale oil which was used to light the lantern. you can smell the oil. absolutely, over 100 years old, electricity was used to light the lighthouse from the mid—1920s, yet you can still smell it. so we have to continue that. the trust wants many people as possible to visit the lighthouse before it becomes unsafe. you get an idea of how close the sea is. if you look, you can see the beachhead either way,

in line with the doorway. it probably would have gone if not for these defences. yes, or lapping around the cellar. the lighthouse could fall into the sea as it as they steer, in truth no one knows. but now the hard work begins to save the wonderful artefacts, the lantern and all the fixings, to recreate a smaller version on firmer ground inland. 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. she members 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 track card 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 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. i have learned how to cook. i am looking forward to more camping trips, because they always bring out new activities. they are like a wild forest that you can go and explore. there's lots of different activities. our last camping trip was pretty funny. because we didn't want to sleep in our tent, we would stick our heads out and look at the stars, which was pretty fun.

my dear brother scout, i am 80 years old. what do you think of that? but i can't say i feel very much older than some of you. the scouting values are still there, rooted in that friendship and endeavour and going the extra mile and helping your community. and i think he have this huge sense of pride. nearly 80 years after robert baden powell's death, the movement he founded is thriving and gilwell is its beating heart. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. just a sprinkle across northern part of the uk. tomorrow the weather is looking pretty good, as well. so, this afternoon. decent enough, i

think 99% of us are saying dry and the weather is leading by four wimbledon and for the cricket tomorrow, as well. temperatures today getting up to around 23 or 4 degrees, but will probably have around the mid—teens on the north sea because they are. say for example in so, still one rt showers or sprinkles as i mentioned in the evening hours and overnight. may be nudging a little bit further south. tomorrow could be a little on the cloudy side first thing in some areas. for example in the south—east. so, for the cricket, bursting in the morning there may be a few little spots of rain, but very quickly that will fade away and sta ble quickly that will fade away and stable base of sunny spells. top temperature tomorrow, pretty much what we have today, 22 to 24 in the south and actually 22 expected in glasgow and edinburgh. good tennis weather, isn't it? let's have a look at the latest headlines
