from canada's adam hadwin? making this tricky sport look oh so simple. a shot certainly worth celebrating. well, the very latest i can tell you is that america's jb well, the very latest i can tell you is that america'sjb holmes still leads the way. he is one shot clear of england's tommy fleetwood, who has completed an excellent round. he is right in contention. as for tiger woods, he is playing much better but he still has a lot of work to do if he still has a lot of work to do if he is going to make it through to the weekend. he is currently four over par. and then there is rory mcilroy, who had that terrible opening round yesterday. in fact, he was 150th out of the 156 players here. he starts his second round over the next couple of hours, and

he has a lot of work to do if he is going to make it through to the weekend as well. he certainly does. thank you very much indeed. time for a look at the weather. well, with some heavy rain around today you might not need an art but a barge would come in handy. there is some pretty wet weather to come, particularly for england and wales. rain trickling across northern ireland and into southern scotland as well. this is the radar picture. you can see the rain coming in bursts and it will continue to be that way into tomorrow. certainly a lot of cloud showing up on the satellite picture. the best of the sunshine in northern scotland. the cloud is extensive to the west of northern ireland and the west of england and wales and more rain to come. over the next few hours, the rain will tend to offer across east anglia and south—east england, so it should become drier and brighterfor a time, but at the same time the rain will turn much heavier across wales and south—west, with some really heavy downpours in the

rensselaer pushing its way across northern ireland and into southern scotland, perhaps getting into the central belt herself. overnight tonight, the rain will push across scotland, but it will ease off across western counties of northern ireland. the rain will be heaviest across southern and eastern areas of england, with some heavy downpours in the forecast overnight. a mild night. 14—17dc. further we can, saturday, rain to begin the day and thenit saturday, rain to begin the day and then it should turn drier and brighter across western areas later on. sunday, some hazy sunshine but it will tend to cloud over with rain arriving across the north west, so quite an unsettled weekend all in all. saturday, rain at times moving eastwards. drier and brighter for northern ireland. you will probably see some sunshine breaking through the afternoon across wales and the west of scotland not looking too bad although there could be some passing showers. where sunshine comes up, temperatures into the low 20s and the mid—20s and the warmest spots, so the mid—20s and the warmest spots, so feeling warm in the sunshine.

sandy, hazy sunshine to start of the day and then into a cloud over and then we have rain that will put into western scotland and turn really heavy and then it looks like we are infor heavy and then it looks like we are in for quite heavy and then it looks like we are inforquitea heavy and then it looks like we are in for quite a spell of prolonged wet weather here. looking at the weather picture into next week and with the weather front really targeting western scotland, we could see as much as 150 millimetres of rain on the hills of western scotland, so there is a risk of localised flooding to take as into the first part of next week, but at the first part of next week, but at the same time high pressure over the your content will send the slow of south—easterly winds across england, wales, eaten scotland had to say we could see those temperatures searching as high as 32 which will be one of the warmer days that we have seen so far this year, so quite a lot going on. many thanks. and thatis a lot going on. many thanks. and that is all from the bbc news at one, so it is goodbye from me. we willjoin the bbc‘s news teams where good afternoon.

it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. for a brief moment, englishman tommy fleetwood was top of the leaderboard at the open, but still out on the course — one shot in front is american jb holmes. far better conditions to play in today at royal portrush in northern ireland. we can join our reporter adam wild who's at the course. adam, quite a lot of movement on the leaderboard — makes for an interesting day at the open? yes, continuing to be an interesting day, has been an intriguing day here at portrush. the competition really hotting up on day two, even if the weather isn't. we are expecting rain this afternoon so conditions for the late players teeing off might be more tricky as though showers come in later on. but this morning we have seen some excellent scoring, much better conditions than we had yesterday where players like rory mcilroy and tiger woods, some of the

biggest names in golf, suffered. let's ta ke biggest names in golf, suffered. let's take a look at the leaderboard. it is jb let's take a look at the leaderboard. it isjb holmes, the american, who leads the way. he is on eight under par, leads by a shot from tommy fleetwood, the englishman who finished his round about half an hour ago, seven under par. four birdies on the back nine so did very well for around a four under, for the day. so just behind well for around a four under, for the day. sojust behind him, things are incredibly congested. just a shot or two between a whole host of players. shane lowry, who led for such a long time yesterday, he is going very well, three under through three today. he has had a terrific start. justin rose, another englishman, four under for his round. an eagle catapulted him into contention. but there are some ominous signs lurking just behind the likes of brooks koepka, the world number one and jordan spieth, who won the open just a couple of yea rs who won the open just a couple of

years ago. tiger woods is going well. looks like he will miss the cut. the projected cut is still one over par. rory mcilroy will have to produce a better round than anyone produced today or yesterday if he is to make the weekend here at portrush. thank you very much. lunch on day two of the test match in the womens ashes and england have taken two important wickets in the morning session. both off the bowling of laura marsh. just before the break, rachel haynes went for 87. but it was the dismissal of ellyse perry which was the breakthrough. earlier perry reached her century, in part, down to some sloppy fielding from england. but her staying power has helped australia get to 341 for 5 at taunton. she was later caught by the england captain heather knight off the bowling of laura marsh. she has gone for 116 now.

but australia already lead england 6—0 in this multi—format series. england need to win this test to have any chance of regaining the ashes. steve bruce has held his first news conference as newcastle head coach today. his appointment was described as un—ambitious by some sections of fans, following the departure of previous manager rafa benitez. bruce, whose boyhood club was newcastle, says whoever replaced benitez would have a toughjob, and he's facing the criticism head on. iam not i am not everybody‘s cup of tea. i can understand that. i am not rafa benitez. whoever was going to sit in the seat was going to find it difficult. however, iam confident enough with my experience and the people i have brought with me, we will continue to take the club forward. yes, i have got to put up with some nonsense, but i am determined to grasp the opportunity and have a crack at it and have a go. i'll have more for you in the next hour.

major cities in the eastern united states are bracing for what's being described as a ‘heat emergency‘. temperatures pushing a0 degrees celcius are a0 degrees celsius are expected to smash records. the intense heat dome caused by tropical air blowing north is forecast to last several days. with more than 130 million americans at risk of heat related illnesses experts are calling on people to check on those most vulnerable. from new york, here's laura podesta. it is all hands on deck in chicago as the city prepares to take care of its youngest and eldest residents, the most vulnerable to heat stroke. we have a coordinated, collaborative and competitive response. chicago's temperatures have been hovering in the upper 90s all week and could climb to near triple digits on saturday. the best thing in a heatwave is to stay out of the sun when possible, stay hydrated, stay in core areas. he is talking about the majority of the us population, more than 200 million people are under heat alerts from the central us to the north east.

the new york city triathlon scheduled for this sunday was cancelled for the very first time in the event's history. organisers say it was due to the forecasted oppressive heat and humidity. some athletes say they are relieved. part of me was hoping it would be cancelled but i wasn't sure if they would actually do it. it is notjust people seeking relief. animals, from these cows in wisconsin to this panting red panda in virginia, are hoping this heatwave breaks, and soon. by weekend, cities in at least 1a states are expected to break their high—temperature records. laura podesta, cbs news. let's take a look at some more of today's headlines: a teenage boy has died after collapsing at an assault course in surrey. police were called to beare green near dorking yesterday lunchtime, but the 1a year—old had died at the scene. officers say his death is being treated as unexplained.

landlords say a government plan to ban no fault evictions in england will backfire, as lower income tenants will find it harder to rent homes. proposals to scrap section 21 notices would mean landlords could no longer evict tenants without a reason, after theirfixed term tenancy period ended. but a landlords‘ trade group says its members will be more choosey over lets. 50 years ago scientists atjodrell bank used giant telescopes to track the space race between the united states and the soviet union as they both tried to be the first to reach the moon. as we know the americans reached it first and jodrell‘s trackers actually recorded the unmanned russian luna 15 crashing about 530 miles away from apollo 11 and just hours before armstrong, aldrin and collins left the moon. aldrin and collins left for the moon. jayne mccubbin reports. the space race was really a battle — east versus west.

it was about whose political system was going to win out. was it communism or capitalism? and a lot of it focused on this race to the moon, and the winner takes all. but for the scientists here atjodrell bank, it is only ever about the science, and for terry pattinson, a cub reporter in manchester with a passion for astronomy, it was the biggest story he will ever work on. that was me. 1966 — world cup year, year i got married, year of my big scoop. on february 3rd 1966, the space race is well underway, with russia well in the lead, as the lovell telescope tracks their luna nine capsule landing safely on the moon. you can imagine the people in this room with a telescope behind us pointed at the moon, and coming through the telescope are the signals arriving from a spacecraft, and it sends this weird sort of noise. 23—year—old terry begs his editor to go to the late—night press conference at jodrell bank.

there, sir bernard lovell tells him the source of that strange signal — a machine already used by newspapers to wire photographs. i said, if we have our equipment here atjodrell bank, could we take the pictures? he said, oh, yes. i said, what? you were on the phone to your editor... straightaway. sure enough, they got one of these things from the daily express. they plugged it into the back of the telescope, and out came the very first picture ever sent from the surface of the moon. can you imagine? the big headline the next day was, "the express catches the moon." fantastic. and just before i drove away, i stopped at this very spot and looked up at the telescope. you can imagine it was very emotional for me to do that. but i knew that history was being made, and that man would soon be on the moon. terry, of course, was right, and by 1969, america is back in the lead. butjodrell bank‘s telescopes know

just how close it is. an often forgotten part of the story is that actually, we were using the big telescope here to track a russian spacecraft that was going to soft—land on the moon, scoop up a sample of lunar soil and perhaps beat the americans back home, getting all the scientific results without risking human life. as it turned out, the americans were successful, and we tracked the russian attempt as it crashed into a mountain. but it could have easily been the other way around. the race is won, but the race is insignificant to scientists atjodrell bank. so when russia asked to share their data, they oblige, because then, as now, the only thing of any importance is finding the answers to the biggest questions. how did the universe begin? how will the universe end? and maybe even, and this would be great, are we alone in the universe? and when you articulate it like that, the space race, who wins, who gets there first, just pales into insignificance.

it's a little, small arena in this sort of vast, cosmic stage, i think — yes. good luck with thatjourney. thank you. it‘s estimated 650 million people watched neil armstrong take man‘s first steps on the moon. one of those was a teenage richard branson. he was later inspired to try to get into orbit himself, setting up virgin galactic 15 years ago. he‘s been speaking to the victoria derbyshire programme. when i was 19 years old, i was crowded in front of every small little black and white television set with my two sisters and parents. and we just marvelled at what neil and buzz had just achieved. i remember going outside and looking at the men and thinking, good grief, there are two people actually standing on the moon. and i remember my dad saying, one day, you children will become astronauts. and i really believed him.

decades went by, governments were not interested in making you or me astronauts, or people watching this programme. so, 15 years ago, i thought it, screw it, let‘s do it, and went down to the local registry office and registered the name virgin galactic. being an optimistic, virgin intergalactic airways. and we set on the mission of finding the best engineers in the world to start rockets and spaceports. and it has been an exciting 15 years. it is a challenge because of the uk government this year has declared a climate emergency, they want to be carbon neutral by 2050. difficult to square when you are looking at space travel, and your virgin galactic empire. how do you square that? we square it by first of all making clear that space has done more for this earth than almost

any other industry. so, we are putting up a massive array of satellites around the earth which will help connect the 5 billion people who are not connected. that will help them with help, with education and other things. we have managed to bring the price of putting people up into space down to roughly the same price as going to new york and back on a virgin atlantic upper—class seat. and dramatically dropped it from what it cost on a nasa space ships or russian spaceship. we are also developing with other people clean fuels. we think we can bring the environmental cost down to almost zero. i also want to ask you, last week, you were warning about the potential disasterfor the pound of a no—deal brexit, are you concerned about the impact on your business as if it happens? very concerned, i don‘t think there would be any sane businessman

in britain who was not extremely concerned about the impact of a no—deal brexit on their businesses, their staff, therefore, on the economy as a whole. it will tank the pound against the dollar, it has already been tanked since the referendum, gone down from 1.52, down to 1.23. i think it will go down to parity. it will be one of the worst disasters to hit britain in my lifetime. in fact, the worst disaster to hit britain in my lifetime. so, hopefully, sense will prevail, and all the various people, whether it is the cbi or bank of england should be listened to and us business people, and hopefully we can reach it is in agreement with europe. in a moment we‘ll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. public sector workers are set to receive above inflation pay rises

costing the government £2 billion. 17 people have been injured some seriously in a ‘car cruise‘ crash in stevenage. the home secretary calls on public leaders to moderate their language in order to stop the spread of poisonous ideologies. hello, iam hello, i amjamie robertson hello, i am jamie robertson with the business news. the amount the government borrowed in june business news. the amount the government borrowed injune has been the highest since 2015. these are official government figures. public sector net borrowing injune was £7.2 billion, according to the office for national statistics. that‘s up from £3.3 billion injune 2018 and higher than all the forecasts in a poll of economists by reuters. london‘s crossrail project will probably go even further over budget, according to a report by mps. commuters have been "let down" by a programme that is well behind schedule,

the public accounts committee said. the mps said they were "sceptical" about the department for transport‘s "ability to oversee major rail projects". the world‘s biggest plane maker boeing is setting aside almost £4 billion to compensate airlines for the grounding of the 737 max. the aircraft was withdrawn from service worldwide in march after two crashes, in indonesia and ethiopia, in the space of five months. 300 and 46 people were killed. it‘s a survey of 200 large manufacturers, so you can decide for yourself whether that‘s a fair sample of the country. it‘s done by lloyds bank. they found eight out of ten say turnover will increase over the next five years with an average growth rate of 12% a year. and despite all the warnings about slowing global trade over half, 55% say overseas demand is still growing. steve harris leads the manufacturing

for large corporates team at lloyds. steve, 200 companies, is it a fair snapshot of the country as a whole 01’ snapshot of the country as a whole or does it tell us about one section of manufacturing? it mainly tells us about one section of manufacturing because it is larger manufacturers but it is done across a whole bandwidth of manufacturing, which there are many subsectors, from rail to aerospace and defence, food. it tried to encapsulating a good spread of opinion from that large corporate client base. they are pretty optimistic about the next five yea rs, optimistic about the next five years, where is that growth going to come from? is there anything that struck in the survey that showed one sector is going to do well at one particular area of growth is going to come through? there is a couple of key areas. the first one is

around export. 55% of survey respondents said there was export demand being seen from overseas. and 93% of the manufacturers we surveyed are exporting at present, so i think that was one of the main areas. the of the areas is around driving growth through investment in research and development and are primarily into new product development. they were quite optimistic that in the medium term they would be able to grow their businesses in those two key areas. the two areas which have been run down by most people over the last few years. down by most people over the last few yea rs. investment down by most people over the last few years. investment isn‘t doing well, you have to look at the figures and basically investment in this country by businesses has been ona this country by businesses has been on a downward path, the figures show that certainly. the other thing is brexit is going to get in the way of export. we will find it harder to export. we will find it harder to export to the european union and we will find it harder to export to

other countries around the world, under the world trade organisation rules if we happen to have no—deal brexit? is true investment and spending has been depressed, and thatis spending has been depressed, and that is in part to the uncertainty by the big brexit question as well as political uncertainty, material price increases and a bit of depression in the uk market. however, i think manufacturing do play a long—term game. they are looking much more longer term and equally, 93% of them are already exporters. they are used to exporting to overseas markets. europe will remain a key trading partner with us and because of the nature and resilience of manufacturers, i do genuinely believe that whilst there may be some short—term challenges and that equally comes through in the report,

in the medium term, they will find ways to be able to continue growth beyond brexit. so brexitjust a bump in the road, is that the way you are looking at it when you are looking at long—term? looking at it when you are looking at long-term? yes, uk manufacturing isa at long-term? yes, uk manufacturing is a key industry for us. therefore they have to look beyond brexit. i wouldn‘t go so far as to say it will bea bump wouldn‘t go so far as to say it will be a bump in the road, it is a risk that needs to be managed, but nonetheless, manufacturers, clearly from this report, looking into the medium turn over the five—year horizon, they see continued growth because of the strength of uk manufacturing and the quality and how it is perceived in international markets. steve harris at lloyd's, thank you very much. a look at the business headlines now. landlords are warning a policy which aims to stop them turfing out tenants in so—called "revenge evictions" is going to backfire. they say if they are not allowed to evict tenants without a reason after their fixed term tenancy

is over they‘ll simply be more choosey who they let to and only pick richer, better—off tenants. some 700 rugby fans who bought tickets for the all blacks test match against south africa in new zealand next week run the risk of being turned away at the gate. new zealand rugby has cancelled the so—called "fraudulent" tickets because they had been sold though re sellers such as viagogo, which is under investigation by regulators here for breaching consumer protection rules. and the pound is beginning to show a bit of strength. in the last hour or so it has risen against the euro and dollar. sterling has been volatile recently thanks to the political uncertainty surrounding brexit. that‘s all the business news. a new campaign is being started by the rnli to prevent drivers being

stranded. the posters will be given to tourism businesses to stop people risking their lives. there has been ten risking their lives. there has been te n rescu es risking their lives. there has been ten rescues this year. the beautiful scenery is attracting plenty of visitors, but it is also catching people out. these people had to be rescued from the roof of their car when they became trapped by the tide on the causeway. one of many incidents over recent yea rs. despite numerous warnings alerting drivers to the dangers, the number of vehicles getting caught out by the tide has increased. there were 12 rescues last year and have already been ten this year, and before the school holidays have started. this year, we know ten people have got stuck, or ten incidents of vehicles being stranded by the water. and it has steadily increased over the years. that is due to tourist population, levels going up for the area, it is an amazing spot in northumberland. to get the message across to visitors, new posters will be shared

with local businesses and holiday parks. we are looking at different approaches, empowering the communities — bars, restaurants, to deliver those messages, life—saving messages, that the tide does cross the causeway and it is in effect visiting the beautiful places around holy island. visitors to holy island today were leaving in good time. i did not know that we have to look at the tide. i checked this morning, oh! so we left in a bit of a hurry this morning to get here. making sure you leave in plenty of time? we are leaving now because we don't want to swim home. you would feel awfully silly if you got stuck in your car with water up to here, wouldn‘t you? so, why not have the campaign. a good idea. we have left an extra half—an—hour. we are rushing because we know what time it is and we thought

everyone is going at the same time so we would leave a bit earlier. the rnli wants people to stop risking their lives by getting stranded on the causeway and instead pay attention to tide times. the time now is 2.18 in the afternoon. today we have until 2.45 to safely cross. so, it is time to make a move. now, it‘s time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes fairly unsettled spell of mid—july whether a set to for another day or so. whether a set to for another day or so. we do have more rain in the hmmfi so. we do have more rain in the forecast on saturday. this is swanage in dorset, grey skies and outbreaks of rain as well. most of the showers will be on saturday this weekend. by sunday with the ridge of high pressure, is looking like the drier day of the weekend. you can see the blue on the map where we

have showery bricks of rain. temperature is 21 degrees across england and wales. cooler than that in scotland and northern ireland. further bursts of showery rain for eastern parts of england and the odd rumble of thunder overnight. those temperatures will hold up in the mid—teens. to start your weekend, low pressure still in charge, it is gradually going to be pushing away towards the east on saturday with a ridge of high pressure building in from the south—west and that should tend to squeeze the showers away. the open continues at royal portrush and we are expecting an improved date on saturday. lots of dry weather on sunday but there could be showers arriving later on in the day. heading through the date on saturday, a day of sunshine and showers and the main band of rain clears away towards the south—east. most of the showers will be for eastern scotland and down the east coast of england. further west and northern ireland, dry weather developing a temperatures warmer than today with highs up to 18 to 25

degrees. on saturday evening, showers in these fade away so most of us looked dry as we end the day on saturday. clear spells and light winds overnight but temperatures holding up in double figures for most. mild and not too humid as we move into the early hours of sunday. through the day on sunday, a ridge of high pressure. it‘s not going to last too long but we have the next area of low pressure moving into the north—west of the uk. things will turn wet and breezy in northern ireland on sunday afternoon, but mostly dry the morning. in the uk, not a dry weather with long spells of sunshine and those temperatures starting to creep up with a south—westerly breeze. i between 25 and 26 degrees on sunday. it looks like the temperatures will continue to rise into the new working week. monday to tuesday, sunny spells and highs in london of 31 degrees by the time we get to tuesday. goodbye for 110w.

hello, you‘re watching afternoon live — i‘m martine croxall. today at 2pm. the armed forces, teachers and police officers are among those in line for a pay rise — it‘s one of theresa may‘s last big decisions as prime minister. some try this is the minimum that one might have expected after eight yea rs of really one might have expected after eight years of really severe pain restrictions. the chancellor philip hammond refuses to rule out trying to bring down a borisjohnson government if it pushes for a no—deal brexit. seventeen people have been injured, some seriously, in a "car cruise" crash in hertfordshire. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport with hugh. day two of the open golf. that is right, good afternoon. yesterday was pretty much all about those players do
