rising further, up to 30 degrees in the south—east of england. still the low 20s for scotland and northern ireland but still feeling pleasantly warm. in through the second half of the weekend and bank holiday monday, that would set a new record for the late august bank holiday if temperatures continue to rise. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news... england's jason roy has come through a concussion test and is fit to play in the third test against australia which begins at headingley tomorrow. the opening batsman was struck on the head by a ball in the nets yesterday. however. . . england have confirmed that surrey batsman 0llie pope is on his way to headingley to be

on standby in case roy suffers delayed concussion. australia lead the five match series 1—0, but will be without batsman steve smith. he's still suffering from concussion after being hit by a joffra archer delivery at lord's. if australia win in leeds they will retain the ashes....australian captain says they are ready for short bowling. you are always preparing for the next game and what you think you are going to face. 0bviously got some short pitched bowling, the guys prepared for it but it is another thing facing it and guys have plans in place, it is now about executing it. we think the lord's wicket was a difficult one to face soviet interested to see how this wicket plays but it is about adapting the situation and what their bowlers are

trying to do. we have a plan to counter that and i know our boys will. ashley williams has been left out of their squad for the euro 2020 qualifier against azerbaijan in cardiff next month. the wales captain's been capped 86 times and led wales to the euro 2016 semi finals. manager ryan giggs says he has been left out as he has not had a pre season — he is currently without a club after being released by everton but is now set to join bristol city. borussia dortmund's jadon sancho has agreed a new contract with the bundesliga club worth about £190,000 a week, including bonuses. the england winger — who was the subject of summer interest from manchester united — scored 13 goals last season as dortmund finished second behind bayern munich. sancho also scored in their 5—1 opening league win on saturday's. england have secured a place in the semifinals of the eurohockey championships with a narrow win over belarus... lily 0wsley opened the scoring in antwerp after ten minutes before isabelle petter got her first

england goal. belarus struck back in the final quarter to level the score at 3—3, they failed to score in their opening two matches and were beating ii—0 by ireland last time out. england were shocked back into the game, hannah martin restoring the lead to seal the victory. we were not good enough across the board, we definitely need to look at today, we cannot just board, we definitely need to look at today, we cannotjust ignore it and all our focus now is on the semifinal, we do not know who it is against but every one of the three games will be tough. we need to look at today and see where we need to develop and get better and look back to the first—half performance in the germany game and get back some of that play which was really good and be opened up and created chances against the germans so it is good be got the point and through to the semifinals but disappointed. disappointment for ireland though — theyjust couldn't find a winner

against germany in their final group match. the germans took the lead after pia maertans found the net with this absolute rocket in the first quarter, right over the keeper's head. ireland managed to level through a penalty corner. sarah hawkshaw with the final touch in the last few minutes of that first quarter. however ireland need a win to progress while a draw sees germany through to semifinal stage. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website and app....i'll have a full round up for you in sportsday at half six. the children's commissioner has found that more than 200,000 children in england are homeless, and that many are living in converted office blocks, and some in former shipping containers. local councils say budget cuts mean they're often forced to house

families in temporary accommodation. the government says it has invested 1.2 billion pounds in tackling all forms of homelessness. my colleaguejoanna gosling has been talking to one mother—of—four who has been living in a container home for the last nine months. the place we are living at the moment as a shipping container and it is just not a good place for any kind of family. ifeel sorry it is just not a good place for any kind of family. i feel sorry for anyone who lives in this building because it is not for human beings. this is a mental torture, bringing people stress, i have a special—needs child who almost 13 with severe autism and learning difficulty and he has not spoken yet. that makes it difficult for me to make him understand why we are

here and what we are doing because here and what we are doing because he does not understand anything. i feel so sorry and sad for him and for my other children because i cannot give them a better life. the five of you in that container, how small is it? it is a very small place, i will let you recorded to show you it looks, it is a little tiny corner and kitchen that you cannot even kick onto anything because the kids are around playing and this tiny corridor and two boxes of the rooms with my son in one room and the other three children in another room with my special needs child. how old are the other children? i have an 11-year-old and a ten—year—old and a two—year—old.

at the able to have anything like i childhood in these conditions? not at all. that is what i wanted to tell you because we have very stressed and here, the kids aren't stressed and here, the kids aren't stressed and here, the kids aren't stressed and cannot play or do anything, there is no for them to do their homework or keep their stuff. all our clothes as an boxes, we have no cupboards or tv or toys. the only way to can my son doubt as to given his sensory toys but we cannot have that and the house but he cannot use the toys. we cannot do it so he is like a prison, prisoners are better than us because they have time how long they will stay there, we do not know how long we will be here.

a few weeks ago the town of whaley bridge was dangerously close to being flooded when a nearby dam partially collapsed. now the residents of the derbyshire town are back in their homes, after a million tonnes of water was pumped out of the local reservoir, removing the risk. 0ur correspondent, dave guest sent us this update from toddbrook reservoir. toddbrook reservoir, a shadow of its former self. in fact, in comparison to what it was, its almost like a large muddy puddle. they pumped out a billion litres of water from the reservoir to save the dam which was in such periljust three weeks ago. three weeks ago, the water was cascading over this dam. the raf were called in. the famous pictures of chinook helicopters dropping bags of aggregate to try and plug the hole temporarily. those have been cemented into place. that strange—looking yellow stuff, looks a bit like the foam you get from a diy shop, it's a kind of more sophisticated version of that.

that is a temporary repair, though. of course what they have now got to do is work out how they can make this dam safe permanently. in the short term, what they have done is cut the water level down. they are going to keep it down with those pumps. underneath the pontoons there, you can see there are some giant pumps, the things with the blue ends on them. they can pump up to 250 litres a second, each pump, if they need to. they will employ those if the rain suddenly came back on and there was danger of the water level coming back in the reservoir. the canal & river trust, who are responsible for the dam and reservoir, say they are now completely satisfied that the town of whaley bridge is entirely safe, and they are carrying on work to first of all find out why the dam failed and then what they need to do to repair it, but it's going to be a very long process. they say they are going to be on site here for at least 18 months to two years. authorities in southwestern france have increased

security in the sea—side resort of biarritz, where world leaders will meet for the g7 summit this weekend. unprecendented security measures will effectively close the town — as thousands of activists descend on the region. earlier this month french ecological groups held a joint training camp for more than 1,000 activists to share effective tactics for non—violent protest. 0ur paris correspondent lucy williamson has this report. for a country proud of its protest tradition, chanting is more common than change. this 12—day training camp in eastern france run by three french climate organisations is designed to teach activists to protest more effectively, including how to block officials from getting to an event, how to engage with the police, and what to do if you get arrested. activists running the camp say they have a strictly nonviolent approach, but is it irresponsible to offer large numbers of young people training in civil disobedience?

no, i don't think so. actually we are at a point where what our political leaders do is irresponsible, not taking care of the climate is irresponsible, and that is why we are taking our responsibility and we are acting for the climate and this is what it is responsible to do. this sprawling site was donated to the camp organisers by the local mayor. he is openly supportive of the training here despite the fact that some of the actions being taught are illegal, and some of the key activists are facing trial for stealing official portraits of president macron. members of the group anv have staged a nationwide campaign to remove portraits of president macron from government buildings. so far they have stolen 127 of them. expect to see them reappear during protests at the g7 summit. felix is one of those currently facing charges.

translation: it feels like the government response to civil disobedience is hardening but, on the other hand, more and more people want to learn these techniques. a year and a half ago, there were a0 of us mobilising regularly. now there are 100 who turn up for every action. the tactics of both police and protesters have been under scrutiny in france after months of demonstrations by the gilets jaunes social movement. with the police facing accusations of brutality, how are they feeling about the g7 summit? translation: french police officers are used to managing major events but there is a certain apprehension because we are in a particular climate with this year's demonstration, the fatigue of the police forces, and also a lot of stigma of the police from extreme left groups. 0rganisers of the training camp say their strategies are nonviolent and that they will adapt their methods depending on the police response. "but we want to have our message

heard," one told me, "whatever the level of police repression will be, we'll do something." president trump has cancelled a state visit to denmark after its prime minister said greenland was not for sale. announcing his change of plan, mr trump tweeted. .. denmark's prime minister said the suggestion that greenland might be up for sale was absurd, and that she hoped the president was not being serious. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis has more details. you probably couldn't make this stuff up, could you? there he was saying at the weekend he was interested in greenland because of its significance geopolitically, and so on,

but that the intended visit to denmark in a couple of weeks' time was nothing to do with the acquisition, or potential acquisition of greenland. you mentioned the danish prime minister, denmark's prime minister attempting to scotch the plan, calling it absurd. but president trump retweeted after that a picture of a gold trump tower superimposed on the greenland skyline with the words, "i promise not to do this to greenland." fast forward 2a hours and that same president is saying his visit to denmark is being postponed because, as he put it on twitter, "denmark is a very special country with incredible people. but based on prime minister mette frederiksen‘s comments that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of greenland, i will be postponing our meeting." so, it would appear that despite what he had to say to the contrary, central to those planned negotiations in copenhagen

was discussion of a potential acquisition by the united states. the trump administration has approved a potential eight billion dollar sale of f—16 fighter aircraft to taiwan. the sale would involve sixty—six warplanes — the largest such transaction in decades. the proposed deal has been sent to congress for its consideration. on monday, beijing said american arms sales to taiwan amounted to severe interference in china's internal affairs. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... the government announces a review into the future of the hs2 rail link — with the transport secretary saying all options — including scrapping it — are on the table. borisjohnson will meet angela merkel later — with a call to scrap the irish border backstop, in order

to secure an brexit deal. a man accused of murdering pc andrew harper will stand trial injanuary. in the business news... the government says that companies will be automatically enrolled in a customs system — as it speeds up preparations for a no—deal brexit. 72,000 companies have already signed up voluntarily but now a further 88,000 companies will be added to the scheme that will facilitate trade with eu states after brexit. ryanair is in court trying to block its uk based pilots from striking over pay and conditions on thursday. the budget airline hasjust won a similar legal bid at the high court in dublin to stop irish pilots doing the same. barclays has topped the list of banks for suffering the most it shutdowns over the last year. analysis by the bbc shows that barlcays had 33

digital disruptions, stopping customers from accessing normal services. rival banks natwest had 25 and lloyds had 23. first this lunchtime to top pay for top jobs. the latest data on salaries for company chief executives shows that they fell by an average of 13% between 2017 and 2018. but company bosses were still earning 117 times more than people on the national average salary. the chartered institute for personnel and development produced this research along with campaigners at the high pay centre and said that the gap between the highest and lowest earners is still unacceptably wide. the investment association — which represents company shareholders welcomed the fact the gap is getting smaller. charles cotton is a reward adviser for the chartered institute of personnel development+ unacceptably wide, but what does it

say that it is falling? 0ver over the past years executive pay has been going up and down between about 3.5 million and 4 million is a wealth is full is welcome we need a few more years to see whether this isa few more years to see whether this is a downward trajectory. what has helped to achieve this? action from organisations like you? 0r shareholders who say they are also pressuring for lower pgy- i think increased share activity amongst shareholders and increased scrutiny from bodies like us have played a part but also it is due to chief executive is not hitting performance targets, organisations feeling that perhaps they cannot give as much as they would like to

because of backlash from investors. some chief executives have not been in position long enough to earn a full bonus and also some of these bonuses that are awarded to pay—out every few years and this year was not one of those where bonuses went into the mic account of chief executives. not many people speaking out in favour for freedom...let me play devil's advocate: that companies need to pay a lot to get the best people for topjobs. it is obviously important to recognise the contribution of chief executives, they work long hours and have demanding roles but that should be reflected in the size of their salary. what people are questioning is how much executives get links to their performance, these bonuses are very large and we are questioning as it quite right that one person who is responsible for all the success and only you can reward these

individuals is through high bonuses. that's why we are calling for remuneration committees that set in organisations to look at this more widely. thank you. do you know what a bullet journal is? i didn't before seeing what we've got coming up next for you. at least seven million young people across the world are reportedly using them to record — and illustrate — every day of the lives, including things like their living expenses. and then they post to instagram. some of the images are stunning drawings and illustrations and one woman in lancaster says herjournal helped her save for a deposit for a house deposit. here's the story of victoria park. this is a bulletsjournal. some say they are glorified to do lists, a diary of beautiful drawings. 7 million people have used the

hashtags billet journal million people have used the hashtags billetjournal on million people have used the hashtags billet journal on instagram and for many billetjournalists they are very effective way to save and make money. i am rachel, are very effective way to save and make money. iam rachel, i are very effective way to save and make money. i am rachel, i am 26 from lancaster and me and my boyfriend what our first home last year, i will show you what helped us do it. tracking my finances through a bullets journal contributed towards us being able to buy the house. it is a method ofjuggling that uses bullet points as its core structure need a plain notebook, covered pens, stickers, highlighters and state. i do a monthly track and i will put down brunch and coffee and sometimes do a weekly one variety of weather i have spent any money that day. billet journalists say they save money because having their finances say they save money because having theirfinances in say they save money because having their finances in one say they save money because having theirfinances in one place makes them more financially aware. this eight is easy to pillage and not of your bike and write it all down

rather than opening apps and using a spreadsheet. a user to highlight a good day i have had, i having expense trackers to help me save for a big event or something i want to do. it helps me mentor my money flow and let me know when i am out of my budget. i hope one day to have save money thanks to bullets journalling. some people have had companies asking to buy the images of commission something. asking to buy the images of commission somethinglj asking to buy the images of commission something. i wasn't aware that you could earn money with this and then things just took off and offers road in and today i love working with businesses that sell planners and art supplies. journalists sure their work on social media and encourage each other to stick to the spending

goals. if i haven't other to stick to the spending goals. ifi haven't posted in other to stick to the spending goals. if i haven't posted in a few weeks i will get messages asking when my next post will be and if i am still planning. i do get request for more financial logs which is great because it holds me accountable. and they glorified to—do lists are an extremely clever way to save and make money? the ftse is doing rather nicely today. partly because of rising price of oil. boosting oil stocks such as shell which is biggest company on ftse. also partly because sterling is slipping again on currency markets as pm borisjohnson prepares to meet his german counterpart to see if there's any brexit middle ground between them. that's all the business news.

we hearing that borisjohnson is going to donald tusk over the weekend. also we are waiting to hear from copenhagen. the danish prime minister mette frederiksen is holding a news conference after us president donald trump called off a visit to denmark scheduled for early september after his idea of purchasing greenland from denmark was rebuffed. because the danish prime minister said another is not up for sale, but news c0 nfe re nces said another is not up for sale, but news conferences coming up.

that's all to come. now it's time for a look at the weather. for scotland and northern ireland we've got some wet weather edging in this afternoon, whereas for most of england and wales it's a dry picture, with skies like these, bright conditions, a bit of high cloud around, and some spells of sunshine coming through. the satellite picture shows the rain bearing cloud working into northern ireland at the moment. that's going to be pushing eastwards to bring the wet weather in across scotland widely as we go through the rest of this afternoon. whereas across most of england and wales away from that weather front, it stays dry with variable cloud, some sunshine. and wherever the sunshine comes out, it's going to feel warm with temperatures up to 23 celsius. not quite as warm underneath the cloud and rain in the north—west. the weather picture overnight, the cold front sinks into northern england, the north of wales, perhaps the north midlands, then it kind of stops moving, so it will stay dry for the most part across southern counties of england. there will be some showers across northern scotland

but the main focus of rain will be across north england and north wales. from there, tomorrow the rain band actually starts to move north again so eventually the rain returns across northern ireland and back into scotland, and all the while southern counties of england and the south of wales stay dry with warm sunshine. temperatures reaching a high of 25 degrees in london, but that rain could still be quite heavy at times across the western side of scotland. from there an area of high pressure in the continent moves east and that will allow winds to start moving in from the continent, bringing a much warmer spell of weather for most of the uk. temperatures will surge upwards as we go through friday. rain eventually clearing away from northern scotland with the weather becoming drier and sunnier here. the winds coming in generally from a southerly direction, cloud tending to break up to give some warm sunshine, and those temperatures, we're looking at highs of 27 celsius towards london and south—east england, 21 in belfast, warmer here, and 20 in edinburgh. it will continue to get warmer through the weekend as well with a lot of dry weather and sunshine and those temperatures

will continue to rise. looking at quite a hot spell of weather, would you believe it, just in time for the weekend? 29 celsius towards london, 26 in cardiff, still in the low 20s in belfast and edinburgh but in the sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm. and that warm, if not hot, weather looks set to last for some of us into bank holiday monday as well. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm carrie gracie. today at 2... the government launches an inquiry into the future of the high speed 2 rail link. with £7 billion already spent on the project, a final decision is expected within months. give us exactly where we are up to, really, genuinely what it would cost to complete this project, and then we'll know and we'll be in a much better position to make that decision go or no—go by the end of the year.
