9:30 am
‘us us in w us in touch us, i know you will keep us in touch with developments throughout the morning. where else can we go after the papers but the weather? just a reminder, we will have a paper review just after 9:30am. that's coming after the latest headlines and a full sporting update. first, it's time for a look at the weather, susanis it's time for a look at the weather, susan is at the map, a very good morning to you, can you offer any hope of relief for people in derbyshire? i really wish i could. let's take a look at the outlook for derbyshire for the next few days but that this is buxton. showers are forecast throughout the course of the day but, for the week ahead, at very uncertain picture. it looks beautiful now but there will be heavy and potentially thundery showers developing, which will bring a lot of rain in a short space of time. at the moment a lot of sunshine. thicker cloud pushing in
9:31 am
from the west. this afternoon this is what will happen when the sun sign —— as i can when the sunshine sta rts sign —— as i can when the sunshine starts to lift. very isolated showers but this is the area the met office is concerned with. in the north midlands, and the central and southern scotland, the middle part of the afternoon and into the evening, the showers will really come together. in some places we could see 20 millimetres to 30 millimetres of rain before the showers start to push off into the north sea. more showers in the forecast for the coming days. not a great prognosis, sadly. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines... 20 people have been killed and 26 injured in a mass
9:32 am
shooting in a walmart store in the us city of el paso, texas a suspect has been taken into custody by police — he's been identified by local media as 21—year—old patrick crusius a second mass shooting has taken place in the us, in dayton, ohio. ten people, including the shooter, have died. another 55 homes are evacuated as heavy rain is forecast in derbyshire where emergency services are battling to prevent the whaley bridge dam from collapsing. before the papers, sport. and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's huw. in a test match, you have to take 20 wickets to win. but for england there's one that could prove more crucial than the rest. australia have a 34—run lead going into day four of the first test at edgbaston, with steve smith still at the crease. joe wilson is there for us. joe, the game is pretty
9:33 am
finely poised. yes. the skies above edgbaston are reasonably bright and clear. let's hope english mind are feeling the same way. very important that england stay positive this morning. they have already got rid of three australian batsman in their second innings. warner is gone, just seven more wickets to take. the dream scenario for england would see them racking through the remainder of australia's second innings and find themselves chasing about 110, 115, to win the test match. alternatively, if australia bat well and start to get the lead towards 200, even more, they will feel they are in the dominant position. one morning of test match cricket when we use words like crucial or pivotal. it proved that way yesterday. we are only four days
9:34 am
into the ashes series and we are already talking about steve smith being an immovable object. what is the plan and will it work? it is a lwa ys the plan and will it work? it is always fascinating in any sport when you see one person who always fascinating in any sport when you see one person who seems always fascinating in any sport when you see one person who seems to just play at another level to the others. whether it is his hand slash eye coordination or powers of concentration, steve smith seems to be able to bat differently to eve ryo ne be able to bat differently to everyone else. i think there are three possible scenarios for england. number one is that the pitch deteriorates and the delivery does something weird to get him out. the third scenario is that steve smith makes a mistake. on the evidence of what we have seen in this test match so far, and indeed for many years, that is about as likely as snow falling today in birmingham. go easy. joe wilson for
9:35 am
us birmingham. go easy. joe wilson for us at edgbaston ahead of day four of the first ashes test. red bull's max verstappen will start a formula one race from pole for the first time at the hungarian grand prix later. despite seven race wins it's taken the dutchman until his fifth season in the sport to start a race from the front. he broke the track record in hungary and will start ahead of the mercedes‘ pair of valteri bottas and championship leader lewis hamilton. it is incredible. this one was still missing. the car felt good all weekend and then of course you know it is always going to be hard in qualifying but we managed to do it. a big thank you to the team. the car was fine other than in qualifying. it was incredible. england's bronte law and charley hull are still in contention ahead of the final day of the british open at woburn. but the challenge of defending champion georgia hall has faultered after a disappointing day yesterday. adam wild was watching the action. the defending champion georgia hall. with woburn watching this was georgia hall, the defending champion, starting her day in touch at the top, but her touch can at times letting her down. her challenge faltering.
9:36 am
fellow brit charley hull has been a member at woburn since childhood. familiarity making those greens, it seems, just a little easier to read. birdie after birdie on her back nine, she carries many home hopes, as does bronte law. a steady round keeps her amongst the chase. those from pamplona are well used to the charge. this is carlotte ciganda taking the bull by the horns. one of the rounds of the day from the spaniard. she is right up there, as is world number onejin—young ko, here quite brilliant. and now, a new name at the top, 20—year—old hinako shibuno of japan, announcing herself with a two—shot lead marching into the final round. adam wilde, bbc news. fulham say they will take the "strongest possible action" after their defender cyrus christie claimed his sister was hit and racially abused by the club's fans during their defeat
9:37 am
at barnsley. christie posted on social media after the game to condemn the supporters‘ behaviour saying "regardless how you felt about the result your actions are shameful." fulham have launched an investigation into what happened. bolton wanderers manager phil parkinson says a takeover of the club needs to happen soon to help them compete in league one this season. they were beaten 2—0 yesterday by wycombe in their opening game. parkinson travelled to the game with just three senior contracted players and named six debutants in the side, including two whose signings were announced in the hour before kick off. more than 1600 bolton fans travelled to the match to support their side. ole gunnar solskjaer says he has "no doubt" that paul pogba will stay at manchester united this summer. the manager claimed pogba missed the club's final preseason match against ac milan in cardiff because of injury. but reports continue to link him with a move away from old trafford, not least because of the comments of his agent.
9:38 am
he isa he is a great player, very important for the team. we will see what will happen. he is a manchester united player and we will be happy if he stays. i can see that he is not angry but in football anything is possible. the curtain raiser for next week's premier league season is at wembley this afternoon when liverpool take on manchester city in the community shield. and pep guardiola has raised an eyebrow at the lack of city players on the shortlist for fifa's best player award, wondering if they need to get 250 points this season to improve their chances. their opponents today won one trophy and have three nominated, while the premier league champions won three major titles but don't have any. we won almost every trophy — not all of them — but, yeah, it is quite remarkable what we have done.
9:39 am
not enough to have our players in the best players of europe but good. of course we know each other better than the first season. we start in the first season talking about what we are going to do. the players know it, so it's easier for ourjob. the rugby football league and super league say they're appalled by clashes between catala ns dragons and warrington wolves fans towards the end of their match in france yesterday. tempers flared on the field and off it with around ten minutes of the game to go — two warrington players and one from catalans were sent off after a brawl. there were also disturbing scenes in the crowd as fans then clashed in the stands. both clubs have condemned the incident. the match itself saw catalans beat warrington by 30 points to 10, meaning st helens win the league leaders shield. just to let you know, you can follow the cricket throughout the day to day. you can listen to it on 5live
9:40 am
sports extra for the play begins edgbaston at 11 o'clock for that build—up before that as well. you can watch in play clips as well on the bbc sport website. much more there. sport for now. now on bbc news, the papers. hello and welcome to our look at what the papers are focusing on. with me are journalist and author shyama perera and the atlantic's prashant rao. you have been enjoying the cricket. you have been enjoying the cricket. you have been enjoying the cricket. you have torn yourself away to be with us here. the shooting on texas happened too late to make it onto the front pages but there's plenty of brexit news.
9:41 am
he will not be surprised to know that, on the front pages. it's too late to stop no deal. the telegraph leads with a message to mps from the prime minister's top aide. the independent has liberal democrat leaderjo swinson calling on tory mps to act now to prevent a no—deal brexit. the express leads on tory mps asking brexit party leader nigel farage not to field candidates against them. in the observer, schools chaos after no—deal brexit. a secret government document reveals some schools may even have to close. leading in the mirror, race row over the new strictlyjudge, with the bbc being accused "of box ticking." in the sunday times, an end to the menopause — pioneering surgery can delay the effects for 20 years. let's plunge straight in with the first of those stories, the front of the telegraph this morning. mps told it is too late to stop an idea brexit. this is a briefing that dominic cummings gave to mps and
9:42 am
ministers, about the fact that boris johnson needs to make clear to the eu that no deal is not a bluff, it isa eu that no deal is not a bluff, it is a real thing. eu that no deal is not a bluff, it is a realthing. of eu that no deal is not a bluff, it is a real thing. of course, the difficulty with this is, the headline says it is too late to stop no idea but we do not know. march 28 and april the 11th, and all the various deadlines, where it was the point of no return. we will soon find out how honest they are being and how much of this is posturing and how much of this is posturing and how much is policy. it will define their will go in the next few months. the papers are is avidly in brussels as they are here. presumably a lot of this will be back signalling to the commission and getting them to take the threat seriously. absolutely. there is no more signalling required. the telegraph says it has pieced together this from numerous accounts from the briefings of mr cummings.
9:43 am
they have not had somebody talking to them off the record, they have been sifting through all of the information coming through to them and creating this. they go on to say, they don't realise if there is a no—confidence vote in september or october, we will call an election for after the 31st and leave anyway. he is not saying they will definitely be out by the 31st. he is saying if we do not get out by the sist saying if we do not get out by the 31st we will call an election and then we will get out. that has been in the papers all week anyway. we'll be hearing from john ashford, the shadow health secretary, after ten o'clock on bbc news. he has already done an interview this morning saying, actually, we think we could getan saying, actually, we think we could get an election, forced a vote of no confidence, and get the government out before they were able to actually get us out of the eu. that isa actually get us out of the eu. that is a contentious argument which will go on between parliament and government but it looks like it is still something they have not given
9:44 am
up still something they have not given up on as still something they have not given up on asa still something they have not given up on as a possibility, forcing a vote of no confidence and triggering a general election. the government has a majority of one and everything is in play. the conservatives in the government want to do by and they will do it. in 2000, when tony blair had a majority of 171 for this is like a conversation when the government says something it will happen in our city government says something that we had to take that is great but there are politics at play. we need to be circumspect in how we take all of this. the government will want to say things about how much can they do? the telegraph for citing a pole, a new poll, saying 46% now agree with the statement that if the eu is unwilling to reopen negotiations the uk should leave without a deal. it is interesting. we never leave from those figures can ideally can i
9:45 am
really? -- those figures, do we, really? -- those figures, do we, really? boris drops 2 million nhs cash bond to woo women voters. really? boris drops 2 million nhs cash bond to woo women votersm really? boris drops 2 million nhs cash bond to woo women voters. it is interesting you highlight to woo women voters. i have looked down and cannot see on what that claim is predicated. mrjohnson inside the paper has written a piece about how he stood on a piece of glass at a family barbecue and, for several days, suffered this piece of glass in his that before he went to a&e and it was extricated. he apparently gambled away like a spring lamb after this. on the basis of this he is going to pour even more money into the nhs. great news if he finds it the great news if he does is that ido it the great news if he does is that i do not understand why this is of specific interest to women voters
9:46 am
are women generally. that is what the sunday times has chosen to headline. what do you make of it? the debate in the united states and the uk on health is very different but in both countries it is central to the political debate. there is endless argument about the prospects of increasing health care in the united states in rows about the costs of medicines in the united states. over here it is about the nhs, in that labour set it up, and the conservatives always seem to be chasing, you can trust us with the nhs. that has often been quite elusive. it is fascinating is that this notion that the nhs, in the united states, defence is this kind of think of the left has to show they are strong with defence but here the right has to show they are
9:47 am
strong in health care. it is the line mac panel be broken. david cameron said that three letters that will define his premiership are nhs. —— the line that cannot be broken. it is about the complexities of brexit, the possibilities of an early election and the fact he will have to loosen the purse strings a little bit in the newjob of chancellor. it is about spending more on education and health care. the tories always had this problem. they are seen as a nasty particle that the nation we should spend £2 billion more on the nhs. it is a fascinating thing he is having to negotiate with the eu and negotiate the 70% of the british population, 60% of the british population who do not vote tory. how he gets on with this negotiation will define his
9:48 am
premiership and how long it lasts. another thing to point out is one health organisations like the nuffield trust are pointing out. any extra money is welcome that it does not make up for many that has effectively disappeared from the health service due to posterity. if you do not spend money to maintain things and it will always because you much more. -- posterity. we read every week about problems with staffing. even if you are shoring up beds, we still need the correct number of staff. the observer is interesting on that. a secret report. newspapers always love a secret report. reveals fear of schools after the brexit deadline. it is an odd story. it is about school dinners really and that they will not be fresh food which could
9:49 am
result in panic buying. particularly around kent. i presume that is to do with lorries being bunged up at ports and whatever. it is odd. it is the last problem you would think of as stopping education in kent. you'd think it would be about teachers who could not get to work. that does get mentioned on page six. people losing jobs because of what is happening and companies that cannot manage because they do not have paperwork in place the day after in order to move their goods across to the continent. it is an interesting reveal and it is always nice, as a journalist, to have something that is exclusive. so on that basis, well done to the observer. it is an left field, silly season story, you are not really sure about. give them cornfla kes, not really sure about. give them cornflakes, as not really sure about. give them cornfla kes, as marie not really sure about. give them cornflakes, as marie antoinette might have said. history might have been different had she said that. as
9:50 am
i totally agree it is strange in that way. it also illustrates there area that way. it also illustrates there are a million different things. we talk about how britain has been in the eu for a0 something years and it is intrinsic and embedded in society in ways we do not fully notice. the notion of a no—deal brexit and it will be fine. the planes will still fly. it is one of 3 million different things that britain does in coordination or as a result of being a member of the eu and it is also about telling the story. there are countless different things. we can go to a supermarket and the food will be different because of tariff regulations and things like that. there is a political conversation but also of italian discussion to be had about how lives will change if there is a no—deal brexit. i do not think anyone really understands it. this is about telling that story. our final this is about telling that story. ourfinal hit on brexit, as it were, for this paper ready. i'm sure it
9:51 am
will be back in time the next paper with you which is tonight on the bbc news channel. the headlines are all very blunt. —— this paper with you. there are suggestions the eu should reopen negotiations because of politics has changed due to the european parliament elections. it is actually much more polite than the headlines, rather respectable suggestion. it all comes down to the backstop and that is what they are terrified about. it is where mr barnier has some flexibility, we hope. it is a desperate bid. it is an interesting... what he has written is interesting. it is not fire and brimstone, as you say. it is much more reason than that. this
9:52 am
is much more reason than that. this is quite interesting, the way in which the stories are presented. the headline on it is clear you don't have a mandate now, you missed your barnier, go back to your eu masters, very dismissive. —— mr barnier. another argument from the government about why the withdrawal agreement negotiation should be reopened. do you know why it is getting such a blank response from brussels? anyone he has interacted with the european commission and the european union, one thing often get said that negotiations as you need to put yourself in the seat of the person yourself in the seat of the person you are negotiating with to understand. what is our best negotiating position? if we think of it from the perspective of the european union they see it as an existential problem, the country is leaving. you can understand why they are obstinate in this way, they do not want to negotiate. they have
9:53 am
reached this agreement. corralling 27 other countries in saying this is what will happen. are you ok with this? slovenia, and this type of thing. it is difficult. 27 of them at once. we had to understand that thatis at once. we had to understand that that is why the european union goes this way. at the same time, britain going you need a new mandate with seven months together is dangerous. it is not really a letter to mr barnier, it is posturing by our politicians to make us feel they are doing something. i do not think any european plutocrat on their summer holidays is worrying about this in the mail on sunday. it is really to keep the vote of britain happy so that we believe that these guys are really doing a lot of things on our behalf when we all know they are utterly powerless. let's move on. we
9:54 am
have one more story, two more stories. i'm going to go back to the sunday times first. this is quite dramatic. doctors halt the menopause. this is my story. stop the menopause, i want to get off. this is a great story. in a nutshell, one of the leading names in reproductive health of the test tube babies and idf and all of this sort of thing has now come up with a way of removing a little part of the ovary and replacing it later in life for women so they continue to be, not so much fertile, that having the correct cocktail of natural drugs in their body. —— but having. you have no idea of the hot flashes, the
9:55 am
tummy rumbles, all sorts of things happening where you would not want to look. well, you might want to look but not on me. there is so much stuff going on. we keep magic lies in the menopause and it is not really a medical, it is not really a medical committees and organic change in women. it impedes ability to do well. we really do need something. men will be very happy at the end of it, i can assure you. any man he has lived with a menopause in women, i man he has lived with a menopause in women, lam man he has lived with a menopause in women, i am sure man he has lived with a menopause in women, i am sure you are man he has lived with a menopause in women, i am sure you are right about that. for menopausal women themselves, it is very dramatic. we had a story that i think probably actually has dramatic potential and deserves its front—page status.|j thank the hrt patch on my bottom every day. this is an interesting story buried in the sun newspaper.
9:56 am
sport star in hiv shock. i do not know if it is a shock but nonetheless. i am a basketball fan, i grew nonetheless. i am a basketball fan, igrew up nonetheless. i am a basketball fan, i grew up as a basketball fan. magic johnson declared he was hiv positive. he went back to play in 1986. he played in 1991 and a 1992 olympics. the notion that being hiv—positive is olympics. the notion that being hiv— positive is shocking olympics. the notion that being hiv—positive is shocking is not true. the essence of this is a sports star is going to get published with this in a demonstration that there is life after hiv and you should not be hiding a condition where you should be able to express it. something to look forward to. thank you. coming up next is the weather. thank you. good morning once again.
9:57 am
a very unsettled outlook for the uk throughout the coming week, thanks to low pressure but lots more showers on the way. for most of us there will be some spells of warm sunshine. the showers are probably our greatest concern. in the previous week there were quite heavy. we could see 20, 30 millimetres in some spots in a very short space of time. this is the satellite. this front, with a bit of help from the sunshine today, we will inject some energy into the atmosphere and produced some hefty showers as the afternoon wears on, particularly in the north and half of britain. for the moors of the south—west and the mountains of wales, it gives an indication of how things will warm up. the met office is concerned with a start to see the rain coming down in earnest in some spots. a yellow warning issued from the midlands doing into central and
9:58 am
southern scotland. through the afternoon the showers increasingly widespread and noticed a bright green colours. some of them heady. slowly pulling away into the north sea as we move through the evening. a wet spell of weather in some areas along the way. overnight the showers linger across scotland but another band will come into play across the west. all the time the rainfall in some spots totting up. quite murky further south as the night comes to a close. there is a 15, 16. here further south as the night comes to a close. there is a15,16. here are our two bands of rain. one band of showers pulling out into the north—east. this band further west. a few showers. some more lingering showers for scotland. persistent rain in the far north affecting all clear may be later in the day shattered. scattered showers following on behind. a fresher deal tomorrow with the westerly breeze.
9:59 am
highs of 22 to 2a. thursday, then there is still in the north—west with bands of showers welling through the city looks like it'll be the northern half of the uk at risk of seeing some heavier and more persistent outbreaks of rain. i would like to tell you things will improve but the outlook, as you go right the way through to next weekend features a considerable number of showers, perhaps longer dry spells on thursday and friday but next weekend we have the potential of more lingering heavy and persistent rain. not to bury salmon —like picture as we go through the week ahead. —— not a very through the week ahead. —— not a very summer through the week ahead. —— not a very summer like picture.
10:00 am
this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines... twenty people have been killed and twenty—six injured in a mass shooting in a walmart store in the us city of el paso, texas a suspect has been taken into custody by police — he's been identified by local media as 21—year—old patrick crusius a second mass shooting has taken place in the us, in dayton, ohio, ten people, including the shooter, have died another 55 homes are evacuated as heavy rain is forecast in derbyshire where emergency services are battling to prevent the whaley bridge dam from collapsing boris johnson announces 1.8 billion pounds of extra funding for hospitals in england a daredevil french inventor has succeeded in crossing
