nhs hospitals in england are to get a cash boost, of £850 million, but critics warn, it's not enough. the money will upgrade outdated facilities, and equipment. we are starting here in boston with 21 million going into the a&e. that helps to expand the space they have in the a&e. some suggest the new nhs cash could mean a general election is on the way. we'll have the latest. also this lunchtime: a six—year—old boy is in a critical but stable condition, after being allegedly thrown from the tenth floor of london's tate modern art gallery. president trump condemns america's lastest mass shootings, amid accusations, that he bears some responsibility. the woman who discovered she was conceived in a rape attack,

will be used to upgrade outdated facilities and equipment. a further billion pounds is to be used to tackle a backlog in hospital upgrades. speaking on a visit to a hospital in lincolnshire, boris johnson said his job was to use the funds that go into the nhs to reduce waiting times. labour has dismissed the money as not enough, saying it won't fix years of cuts in the health service. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, reports. it's another busy morning in the accident and emergency department at stockport‘s stepping hill hospital. for years, they have struggled to cope as the number of patients seeking care has grown. but now the hospital has been given more than £30 million to build a much—needed new trauma centre, which should ease some of the pressure in a&e. when this was originally set up the expectation was for around 50,000 patient attendances a year. we are currently at almost twice that

amount. we are approaching 100,000 patient attendances each year coming through the department. so this will be really good news for us in terms of coping with that capacity. in total, around £850 million has been promised to help with upgrades to outdated facilities and to pay for new equipment. stepping hill in stockport is one of 20 hospitals across england that will benefit. the funding pledges part of what has been called a £1.8 billion cash boost for the nhs. this is new money. i said ten days ago on the steps of downing street we would be upgrading 20 hospitals, 20 new hospital upgrades around the country, and this is it. we are starting in boston with 21 million going into the a&e. starting in boston with 21 million going into the me. there is no doubt this extra money is very well, but health think tanks welcome that —— say it is a drop in the ocean. with so many nhs facilities in a state of major disrepair, it will ta ke state of major disrepair, it will take £6 billion in totaljust to

make up the backlog of work. but there are questions over how much of this money is actually new. this is a welcome addition of £1.8 billion to the nhs that they can spend now that they weren't able to spend before. but it is merely replacing and reversing cuts made previously to our nhs capital budget, so it is not changing the long term plans we had. labour are accusing the government of spinning the announcement as new money, having previously raided hospital budgets to pay for day—to—day running costs. it looks like it is money the hospitals had already earned by cutting their costs. ministers told them they had to cut back on their spending and if they did they would get new capital money. then ministers blocked hospitals from spending that money. it looks like borisjohnson has spending that money. it looks like boris johnson has simply spending that money. it looks like borisjohnson has simply lifted that block on spending. a shortage of qualified staff remains a big challenge for the health service. critics say new buildings are fine but you need the

doctors and nurses to work in them. dominic hughes, bbc news, stockport. our health editor, hugh pym, is in ipswich, at one hospital which will benefit from the funding. how far do you think this new money will go towards dealing with some of the problem is the nhs faces?” think the general view is it is a start. the trust i am out here, a swiss hospital, is part of it. it did receive a capital boost a couple of years ago. —— ipswich hospital. although it is not on the list today, it is comfortable with the situation. sources you have made clear there are 1970s and 1980s buildings that could always be invested in and brought up to speed. more could be done over and above what is being allocated. we have had of this row over whether this 1.8 billion is really all—new. it is a very complicated system. but to put it very simply, it seems as if some of it is surpluses that were built

up of it is surpluses that were built up by of it is surpluses that were built up by hospitals in the past. they we re up by hospitals in the past. they were told they could use them in future but if they have always been blocked until now. some of it has 110w blocked until now. some of it has now been released. 0thers blocked until now. some of it has now been released. others are making the point that until last friday the nhs in england didn't know it had this money to spend on buildings and repairs, and now it does have it, evenif repairs, and now it does have it, even if it is just as a result of the change in treasury rules. some of the money certainly will be new. that is the money over five years for these 20 new hospitals. so a start, but clearly a long way to go to cover the backlog. hospital leaders saying the big question really is a starving. you can invest in new buildings but if you don't have enough staff that is a problem and it remains a problem across the nhs. hugh pym in ipswich. thank you. 0ur political correspondent, jessica parker, is at westminster. the speculation of some is that all this new spending is laying the groundwork for a snap election? yes,

because this is the latest in a string of spending pledges made by borisjohnson, leading string of spending pledges made by boris johnson, leading some string of spending pledges made by borisjohnson, leading some to speculate he might be in the midst ofa speculate he might be in the midst of a general election campaign. well, we are not, not yet anyway. but when mps return after the summer break they are headed for an old —— an almighty showdown because of boris johnson's stance an almighty showdown because of borisjohnson‘s stance on brexit. deliver brexit by october 31, due or die, deal or no deal. if it is no deal you can expect plenty of mps to try whatever they can to block that, whether that is bringing down the government, forging some kind of remain alliance to delay brexit, or by triggering a general election. when such an election would be, whether it would be an effective blogger on brexit, that is still up for debate. what it is certain is that what it might be quite in westminster at the moment, will not stay quiet for long. thank you, jessica. jessica parker. a six—year—old boy is in a critical but stable condition,

after reportedly being thrown from the 10th floor of the tate modern gallery in london. he was found on the roof of the fifth floor, after falling yesterday from a viewing platform. a 17—year—old boy arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, remains in custody. here'sjon donnison. ten floors up and the terrifying five—storey drop to the roof below. the tate modern viewing platform has security railings well above adult waist height. police believe the six—year—old boy may have been deliberately thrown over them. a bbcjournalist was visiting the gallery with her own young son on what was a busy sunday afternoon, and was on the platform when she says she became aware of some sort of disturbance. my first instinct was, oh my god, something is going on, and ijust felt like i must take my child and try to move out. we rushed to the exit and then on my way to the lift i met

a woman who was running and she was shouting, "oh my son, my son". it is something which i heard clearly. and she was crying desperately, you know. ifelt like maybe i should help her, but i had my child and ifelt scared, i should take him out of there. after treating him at the scene, paramedics stretchered the badly injured boy out of the gallery under this blue tarpaulin. he was then airlifted to hospital. police say he is in a critical but stable condition, and that his situation is no longer life—threatening. given the distance this young boy fell, it's a miracle really that he still alive. the viewing gallery up there on the tenth remains closed today, while police try to establish exactly what happened. in a statement, the gallery said the tate is working closely with the police to help with their investigations, and that all our thoughts are with the child and his family.

police are continuing to question a 17—year—old boy on suspicion of attempted murder. they say they have no reason to believe he knew the victim. jon donnison, bbc news, at the tate modern. as the first victims are named after america's latest mass shootings in which 29 people died, there are renewed calls for tighter gun controls, but campaigners are pessimistic. donald trump has linked this weekend's killings in texas and ohio to gunmen who were "seriously mentally ill", although investigators have made no comment about the mental state of the perpetrators. the president's critics say he's part of the problem, citing mr trump's anti—immigrant rhetoric and his opposition to gun control. barbara plett usher is in washington for us. the president is due to a statement make on all of this shortly. any idea what he may say? well, i think you will condemn the attacks. he has

already done that on twitter. he has connected them to hate, to mental illness, as you said. we are looking to see if you refers to them as any form of terrorism, because federal prosecutors have said they are treating the el paso shootings as domestic terrorism. it is not also clear whether he will condemn white nationalism, which seems to have been the motive behind the el paso shootings in particular, and as you mentioned, democratic presidential candidates and others have accused others —— mrtrump candidates and others have accused others —— mr trump of encouraging this kind of white nationalist violence with his harsh anti—immigrant rhetoric, some of which was echoed in a manifesto believed to have been written by the el paso shooter. we will have to see what he says score. so far this morning he has tweeted that it is the fake news, the media that is responsible for building a climate of rage and anger in the country. he has said that he supports immigration reform. but he hasn't said anything about the killing of

hispanic migrants by somebody who doesn't think they should be here. 0n gun control, he says he supports a strong background checks and so he may urge legislators to push through laws on that, some of which are already in the works. barbara plett—usher, thank you. emergency work continues, to prevent a damaged dam in derbyshire from collapsing, with the authorities saying they need at least another two days to pump out enough water from the nearby reservoir. jeremy corbyn praised the emergency response in a visit to whaley bridge but called an enquiry on the future of the dam. day five of the operation to save a dam and a town. you can see the water level is reducing here but emergency services say there is still a threat, and people forced to leave their homes won't be allowed back until it is safe. later today, i think it will get to a sufficient depth where an engineer can have a really good look at the structural integrity of the dam below eight

dam that is left, is that safe to keep the water in? so they want to go and have a look at that. once we are happy that that has real structural integrity and can keep the remaining water in, then that's the point where we can start to say to people that they can come home. the pumps behind me are working 2a hours a day to drain the reservoir, and crucially, drop the water level even further. there has been a huge amount of disruption for residents, but many of them are doing all they can to help the operation and save the dam. on friday, this field looked like this. now, it's one of the main locations of the operation. contractors even built a road so heavy machinery could get to the reservoir, a bit of a shock for some of the people who owned the field. all of the different teams, i don't know who they all are, were working together to build the road to transform the field into an emergency pumping station, so they were taking our walls and fences out, and heading down, taking trees out on the side of the reservoirjust

to get access to put a platform to put in these superpowerful pumps. jeremy corbyn is visiting whaley bridge today. you can see him here, viewing the broken dam. obviously the water level is going to go down. that is happening. and hopefully people will be able to return to their homes. of course, there has to be long term repair to there has to be long term repair to the dam and the safety of it in the future. it will be a while before whaley bridge returns to normal, but there is confidence here from both the residents and emergency services that this huge operation is working. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. it isjust shy of it is just shy of a it isjust shy of a quarter past one. our top story this lunchtime: nhs hospitals are to get a cash—book —— boost of £850 million.

australia's cricketers close in on victory in the ashes test match in birmingham. coming up on bbc news... great britain's olympic champion elinor barker has suffered a broken collarbone after being injured saturday's dramatic crash at the end of the ride london classique. leading climate scientists are meeting in geneva, and will warn that human activity in the way we use land, must change, in order to prevent global warming. the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change is preparing a report on how intensive farming, deforestation and drained peatlands, contribute to rising temperatures. it comes after early indications suggest last month was the hottest on record. our environment analyst, roger harrabin, has more details. natural forests help keep the climate stable. trees take co2 from the air and fix it into the soil through their roots.

when we clear forests to grow food we reverse that process, co2 is released and fuels the unnatural heating of the climate. ploughing the land is bad for climate change too. co2 is emitted when soil contacts the air. when the land is overgrazed, that also exposes the soil and releases co2. the way that we use the land at the moment results in the sector being responsible for nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. emissions are through a number of practices, such as for example agriculture, particularly livestock farming and arable farming. but they are also associated with unsustainable practices in the way that we produce biomass such as timber or bioenergy crops. beef and lamb farming put huge pressure on the land. the scientists and government officials meeting in geneva will debate how strongly they should advise against eating red meat. changing our diets towards less meat

and more vegetables is expected to be one of the key recommendations, because it would not only free up land that we need for feeding people, which is of course a very high priority. it's also freeing land that will need for forest production and other ecosystems production. growing plant—based fuels to replace fossil fuels like here at the drax power station in the north of england, will be controversial too. we are putting pressure on the land in so many different ways. this garden for instance used to be alone. used to be a lawn. the grass was sucking co2 out of the air and fixing it into the soil. the slabs are certainly not doing that. scientists say we need to plant billions of trees to compensate with what we've done to the land. but that alone won't fix the climate. scientists say we've still got to stop the fossil fuel emissions that are dangerously heating the planet.

roger harrabin, bbc news. mcdonald's new paper straws, described as "eco—friendly" by the us fast food giant, cannot be recycled. last year, it axed plastic straws, even though they were recyclable, in all its uk branches as part of a green drive. but the us fast food giant says their thickness makes it difficult for them to be processed and should be put into general waste. police in hong kong have fired tear gas at demonstrators, taking part in a general strike. shops remained closed in several parts of the city, as protestors clashed with riot police for a third consecutive day. the strike, over fears the government in beijing is trying to curb some of the territory's basic freedoms, has led to hundreds of cancelled flights at the airport, and dusruption to train services. stephen mcdonell is in hong kong. more trouble again, i can see you

are dressed to deal with this, it is getting tense again? absolutely, there has been a marked escalation in hong kong today. in conjunction with this widespread strike, apart from shops being close, flights cancelled and the subway chaos, these militant protesters have come from the housing block at the police where they have been throwing bricks by the dozen into that compound, smashing up buildings. the police have charged them back here, so behind here we can quicklyjust show you, i think, behind here we can quicklyjust show you, ithink, there behind here we can quicklyjust show you, i think, there is a barricade to try and slow them down because they think they will come again. behind them, there are more protest is looking for a way out of here. it is looking for a way out of here. it is remarkable how much more militant they have become. a few months ago,

this was a peaceful movement, hundreds of thousands of people in the streets. now they come with their masks, their home—made shields, protective gear ready for battle as this political crisis just lurches into a third month. 0k, thank you for that. steve mcdonald, live in hong kong. police in malaysia, say more than 150 people are now involved in the search for a british girl, who disappeared from a holiday resort at the weekend. investigators say it's unlikely nora quoirin, who's 15, was abducted, but her parents say she has learning difficulties, and would find it difficult to communicate. today's planned strike by staff at heathrow, in a dispute over pay has been called off, as talks continue to avoid a walk—out tomorrow. more than 150 flights had been cancelled over the two days, but somehave now been reinstated. passengers are being advised to check with their airlines. the number of new cars bought last month, fell to its lowest level since 2012.

data released by the society of motor manufacturers and traders, showed new car registrations injuly dropped 4.1%, on the same period last year. it's the fifth consecutive month sales have dipped. adminstrators have arrived at the harland and wolff shipyard in belfast, which is facing closure, for talks with workers. the yard, which built the titanic, once employed thousands of people but its last 130 staff now face losing theirjobs. emma vardy is there. emma, they have tried to find a buyer, with no luck? it does seem unlikely now. we are told a solution is going to be found. it is such an iconic company for belfast. the two cranes called samson and goliath tower over the city and can be seen from all around and it has become a symbol of belfast. at one time,

harland & wolff was the well‘s most prolific shipbuilder employing 30,000 people during its heyday when the titanic was built. but over the yea rs, the titanic was built. but over the years, it has been in decline and money has been pumped into the company to try and keep it afloat. we are expecting an announcement this afternoon about a potentially going into administration. the company had been up for sale because its norwegian owners ran into financial difficulty. it leaves an uncertain future for 130 people, 130 jobs that could be a risk. the shipyard workers behind me have been protesting around the clock. it's not just about the loss of jobs, there is a much greater, historical significance about the potential end ofa significance about the potential end of a very important company for the city. emma vardy thank you, from belfast. pakistan has accused india of acting illegally, in revoking the special status of the disputed region of kashmir.

the move by delhi, will end the territory's right to make its own laws and allow outsiders to buy property there. india and pakistan both claim kashmir, but since independence and partition in 1947, have shared control. both sides have fought two wars over the region, and india regularly accuses pakistan of backing kashmiri terrorists. our correspondent, yogita limaye is in delhi. yogita, the tensions in this region is our start, why have the indian government on this? this has been pa rt government on this? this has been part of the plan, the ruling party's plan for a long time. it was a very significant part of their election ma nifesto significant part of their election manifesto during the polls earlier this year. so part of the reason really is to show to the voters they have lived up to the promises that they made when they were campaigning. you know, we have been able to speak to a source in government about what is the

rationale behind removing the special status for kashmir shamanic they said they were able to make laws that were applicable in all of india except for kashmir. they believe development and governance in the region was hampered because of that and they also say laws relating to women's rights, they couldn't make them and they could not be applied in kashmir and that is their reason for doing it. this is their reason for doing it. this isa is their reason for doing it. this is a more fiercely opposed by politicians as well as many people in kashmir. they see it as a promise being broken, a promise that was made at the time kashmir agreed to become and chose to become a part of india, the princely state of kashmir at the time of partition in 19117. at the moment the situation in kashmir is tense, thousands of extra soldiers have been sent in for security. people are not allowed to hold big gatherings. many politicians from the region were put under house arrest, phone and

internet lines have been snapped. 0k, internet lines have been snapped. ok, yogita thank you. a woman has called for her biological father to be prosecuted, after discovering she was conceived during a rape attack. however police say they can't bring a case because the woman's birth mother, doesn't want to be involved. vicky, which isn't her real name, told her story to the victoria derbyshire programme and to protect her identity, her words are spoken by an actress. emma ailes reports. i am living, breathing proof of a child rapist and nobody is interested. how is that ok? when vicky turned 18, she applied for her social services records in the hope of tracing her birth family. she discovered, written in multiple places in the files, that her birth mother had been a 13—year—old schoolgirl in 70s birmingham and her father, a family friend in his 30s. the record said in multiple places, that she alleged he draped her

that she alleged he'd raped her when she went round to babysit. to find out that you've been born through a horrendous act of violence against a child and that people knew! it says in seven different places in the files that it was rape. it states his name and address, that social services, police and health workers knew, but nothing was done about it. i'd always thought it was so wrong that my birth father was never prosecuted. it made me feel angry. devastated for my birth mum, for me. decades later, when historical sex abuse cases were in the news, vicky decided she wanted her birth father finally held accountable. her mother didn't wish to report the rape again because she felt she'd been let down by the authorities in the past, but she supports her daughter pursuing it. vicky wants the police to consider a victimless prosecution for statutory rape, that's sexual intercourse with a minor based on dna and documentary evidence. i've got dna evidence

because i am dna evidence. i am a walking crime scene. victimless prosecutions have been used in domestic abuse cases where there's evidence, but the victim declined to give a statement. vicky also wants to be defined as a victim of the crime herself, which police have told her she's not. i, to be honest though we'd won this argument. the idea that you don't have to be a direct victim of an abuse. we would never suggest that in a domestic violence situation that a child who never suffered any violence themselves, was not a victim of the crime that was happening around them. you would never suggest that. and to me, it's exactly the same test that is met in this case in cases like this and of course, children born of rape and violence should be able to be considered as victims by the law.

west midlands police said vicky had no doubt suffered but the law did not recognise her as a victim and that the crown prosecution service had advised it would not support a prosecution in vicky's case. emma ailes, bbc news. england's cricketers face an uphill task to avoid defeat, in the first ashes test at edgbaston. australia set the hosts a daunting target of 398 runs to win, and they've have already lost four wickets. joe wilson has more. birmingham bathed in sunshine, tickets on special offer for a rare test match occasion. roll up for a fifth day nailbiter, potentially. we're having a good day, hopefully. england supporters knew the batting technique required. defend, stay in — in here. realistically, monday's equation was this: australia had to get ten english batsmen out before the close of play. if not, it would be a draw. operation survival lasted 13 minutes. rory burns, a moment's indecision, and the ball lobbed into welcome australian hands.

one down. nowjoe root was given out lbw. well, hang on. here is something that has happened throughout this match. the review proved that the ball was missing the stumps. another umpire error overturned. and root remained. technology. next there was a hold—up to do with a microphone adjacent to the stumps making an odd noise. well, ok, any delay would do. just keep the ball off those stumps at all costs. where's it gone? swat it, stop it, watch it! safe. relief. and there was another lbw overturned too. australia had to stay patient. so did jason roy. you can play shots safely. this, for example. and then there is the other approach. oh, dear. that is not the kind of batting this type of cricket situation demands. roy gone and then denly too, ball brushed the bat, pad to hand, caught.

nathan lyon bowling again, the catch again and joe root was out. england's captain was the man australia really wanted gone. england will resume their second innings shortly after lunch on 85 for four. this means innings shortly after lunch on 85 forfour. this means australia just have to take six more wickets to win this test and they have hours to get them. do not out batsmen who will resume, stokes and butler, england need one of them to be a hero, prefera bly need one of them to be a hero, preferably both. joe wilson, thank you from edgbaston. harry maguire has become the most expensive english footballer after completing his move to manchester united. the england centre back signed a six—year deal at old trafford which sees him surpass kyle walker as the most expensive englishman. time for a look at the weather, here's louise lear.
