good evening and welcome to bbc news. the football legend jack charlton — part of england's 1966 world cup winning team, has died at the age of 85 following a long illness. he spent his entire playing—career at leeds united and later, as a manager, led ireland to the world cup quarter—finals in italy in 1990. his family paid tribute to him, saying he was "a friend to many" and "a much—adored husband, father, grandfather and great—grandfather". andy swiss looks back at his life. he was known as big jack and he was
7:06 pm
a footballing giant. jack charlton turned his courage and charisma to quite a remarkable career. jack! perfect girl! he grew up in northumberland alongside his younger brother bobby but while bobbie's skills soon made him a scar, jack's defensive qualities were less glamorous and he knew it. came in like a brick wall and he is hurt. people try to compare us and i say, you shouldn't compare us. i can't play. i can stop other people playing but i can't play. bobby can play. he is a creative player. but there is a place in the game for both types. england kept him waiting, though. he was nearly 30 when he was finally called up soon made his mark with the first international goal. and in 1966 came his and english football's defining
7:07 pm
moment. jack charlton, like his brother, a world cup winner. both are now international celebrities. there was club success, too. he was a legend at leeds where he won the league title in 1969 before the inspirational player became an inspirational player became an inspirational manager. there is no way going to jump. inspirational manager. there is no way going tojump. he inspirational manager. there is no way going to jump. he florist flourished at middlesbrough but it was with the republic of ireland you will be most colourfully remembered after guiding them to their first world cup in 1990, he took them all the way to the quarterfinals. ireland! they are in the last eight and the party can begin! an english hero returned home an irish one, too. his speech is the stuff of footballing folklore. jack was a natural leader. he was a fighter in the way he played and managed and got his team to play. they were a replica of his personality but he
7:08 pm
was also gentle at the same time. his relationship with his brother was sometimes strained. but on an emotional night in 2008 he presented an award to the player he still regarded as the best. when we were kids and we used to go to the park and play i would go home for dinner and play i would go home for dinner and he would stay on all day. charlton is the greatest player i have ever seen, and me brother. but jack charlton's achievements, like the man himself, stood tall. one of english football's biggest characters. jack charlton has died at the age of 85. and we will finding out how this story is covered in tomorrow's front pages. our guestsjoining me tonight are martin lipton, who's the chief sports reporter at the sun , alongside the author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown.

a number of lockdown measures have been eased in england — with the re—opening of open—air theatres, live music venues and swimming pools. and in wales, a phased re—opening for holidaymakers has also begun. charlotte gallagher reports. backin back in the water finally. these swimmers in south—east london are some of the first in england to return to the pool after a wait of almost four months. it is indescribable, really, just a feeling of being able to glide through the water. just, yeah, something that i was desperately missing. i was getting jealous of the ducks in the pond. all the
7:10 pm
stresses and strains of life. getting in the water is about as far away from normal life as you can get. it is real escapism. so it is mental health, as well. there has beena mental health, as well. there has been a lot of study showing how swimming benefits more than any other sport around mental and physical health. as the weather gets warmer outdoor pools like this will look even more tempting but you cannot just turn up. look even more tempting but you cannotjust turn up. you have to book first, as places are limited. and you might be able to notice is that the lanes have been made wider to availfor that the lanes have been made wider to avail for social distancing. they're asking swimmers to avoid back stroke so they don't bump into each other. but you might struggle to go swimming this weekend. only four out of more than 100 outdoor pools are open today and the industry body, swim england, is a warning that a third will stay shut this year because it is just not financially viable for them to open. there were also complaints the
7:11 pm
industry was not given enough notice by the government. other outdoor events a re by the government. other outdoor events are allowed in england from today, too. open—air theatres, events are allowed in england from today, too. open—airtheatres, horse trials and team cricket. it is a different picture in wales, though. in the middle ofjuly, oxwich bay on the peninsula should be packed with people. from today, though, the tides are beginning to turn with hotels, b&bs and self—catering accommodation allowed to be open. staff have been working hard to prepare for customers. we're really excited, actually. hospitality is all about customers that we are so excited to be able to welcome people back. it will be really nice to see them, albeit a little bit more of a distance than usual. businesses in all corners of the uk are trying ha rd est to all corners of the uk are trying hardest to salvage what is left of the summer hardest to salvage what is left of the summer season. hardest to salvage what is left of the summer season. the belgian government is enforcing a ten—day mandatory quarantine period for all travellers who have recently been in leicester. the city is the site of england's
7:12 pm
first local lockdown after a spike in coronavirus cases. leicester has been added to belgium's list of so—called "'red zones', along with other cities in spain and portugal. the new rules were announced early this morning — with immediate effect. labour has called for the government to clarify its position on face coverings, after the prime minister said a "stricter" approach to their use in england was needed. they're already mandatory on public transport. but senior sources have indicated the government may follow scotland's lead and make them compulsory in shops too. in wales, first minister, mark drakeford has warned that people might engage in more risky behaviour, if they routinely start to wear face coverings. mr drakeford said he didn't think the evidence on the benefits of wearing masks was yet "decisive" evidence does not point to,
7:13 pm
as i say, a straightforwardly one direction on this. i saw evidence last week, a survey done in people in a public setting where the research said people not wearing face masks behaved responsibly, people who were wearing face coverings were more likely to ignore social distancing, more likely to do things that acted as they wearing a face covering, as i say, confers immunity on you. that is one evidence. there is other evidence, i am sure. that is what i am saying, what we do is to weigh it all up, take advice from our chief medical officer, when the weight of evidence changes, if it does, we would change our policy but we're not going to change our policy on the basis of individual interviews with scientists who have particularly strong views on the subject. we have to look at it in the round.
7:14 pm
things do change. we are learning a lot older time and if we learn that wearing face coverings in public should be made mandatory, then we will certainly follow that evidence in wales. the foreign office says it's supporting the family of a british man, after reports he fell from a hotel balcony in southern spain police in malaga told the daily mail that they were "investigating" the death of two men in marbella after "one man landed on another man, killing him as well". the foreign office says it's in contact with local police. thousands of protesters have marched through brighton in support of the black lives matter movement. many of the demonstrators wore face masks and held up placards with slogans including ‘decolonise everything' and ‘defund the police'. ceremonies have been held in bosnia today to mark the 25th anniversary of the sreb—ren—it—suh massacre, in which thousands of
7:15 pm
—year—old is in a stable condition. ceremonies have been held in bosnia today to mark the 25th anniversary of the srenbenica massacre, in which thousands of bosnian muslims were murdered. the killings were carried out by bosnian serb forces in 1995 during the fighting triggered when the country declared itself independent from yugoslavia. the killings were the largest mass murder of the conflict — and the worst in europe since the second world war. guy delauney has this report. it has taken a quarter of a century but these victims of the srebrenica massacre are now being laid to rest. surviving family members are here to pay their respects as their loved ones are buried alongside a round side 7000 other people and there is still room for 1000 more victims whose remains have yet to be identified.
7:16 pm
coronavirus limited attendance at the commemoration so world leaders offer their thoughts via video message. for many a sense of shame persists that genocide was committed in the presence of international peacekeepers. the united nations and international community failed these people. this will haunt history forever. never again was a regular refrain but other speakers showed that promise has long been broken. 25 years later we don't seem to have learned very much in a lot of places. even as you have honoured the difficult political compromises in those accords, and most
7:17 pm
crucially kept the peace, it is more important than ever to remember that in bosnia and across the world, real democracy requires a genuine commitment to an inclusive society. the bosnian serb military leader planned the massacre. under his orders men and boys were separated from women and girls. his men systematically murdered them over the following ten days. eventually, the international tribunal in the found him guilty of genocide but some ethnic serbs still loved him as a hero and genocide denial is common among their political leaders. that view is repugnant to the families of the victims. we will haunt you. and we will never wear down. one of us will always
7:18 pm
be there to haunt you. it is our right and duty. remember this. there is not a place where we will not find you and haunt you. my second message is to those who deny genocide. you will not succeed. you will not tire us. you will not scare us. generations of our children will continue our battle. genocide denial seems ludicrous, but deep divisions are unlikely to change until everyone accepts the truth about the past. the headlines on bbc news. tributes pour in forjack charlton — who played in england's world cup winning football team and managed the republic of ireland — after his death at the age of 85. open air theatres, live music venues and swimming pools re—opened today — in the latest easing of the lockdown in england.

7:24 pm
this lockdown period speak to a streaming service as well, thatjust released about three weeks ago on amazon prime. we believe that there but thank you very much for that. mps have warned that young people in england risk missing out on the grades they deserve, after exams were cancelled because of the coronavirus. a system of predicted grades is being used instead, but the education committee says it risks inaccuracy and bias against pupils from less affluent groups and ethnic minority backgrounds. dan johnson reports. while some pupils may be back in school, nobody is doing exams this summer. instead, grades will be given by teachers based on expected performance, taking into account mock exam results and coursework. grades are then standardised across england by the regulator, quual. that ensures grades are roughly in line with previous years, but parliament's education committee warns the system could be unfair and may discriminate
7:25 pm
against some pupils, we are very worried about what's called ‘unconscious bias'. that means that disadvantaged groups, particularly children with special educational needs, low income pupils, bame pupils are often under—predicted in their grades. we are worried that the system that has been devised by quual does not reflect that. quual told us its standardisation process was designed so students weren't disadvantaged. any who are unhappy with the grade they are awarded can opt to sit an exam in the autumn. dan johnson, bbc news. west midlands police is warning that as lockdown eases — teenagers not in school and young adults out of work — could be easy targets for recruiment to gangs. the forces' violence reduction unit is supporting those they see at risk, as phil mackie reports. young lads get attracted. they think, "oh, i want the nice
7:26 pm
cars and want to have money, the girls, all of that," but it's not worth it at the end of the day because there is two lanes that it's going to go down. you're either going to end up dead or injail. and that's how it ends up, and that's just the reality of it. robbie is an inspiring footballer who fell in with a bad crowd during lockdown and was arrested by the police. we can get you a job that makes you focus on other things, that's what we're going to do, all right? now he's being mentored byjoe, who spent five years in prison. how bad do you want it? we move. good. what we are doing is just trying to bring them up to a higher level, just changing their mentality and their way of thinking. we do this by... i know it's going to sound really strange, but just asking them what they want to do. during lockdown crime figures have dropped dramatically but, with teenagers not in school for six months and fewjob opportunities for young adults, the fear is that the easing of lockdown will mean
7:27 pm
the situation deteriorates. there is going to be a spike in the amount of referrals that come through to us. there's going to be a spike in the amount of crime that's going on. between september 2018 and the beginning of april, coventry saw a surge in stabbings and shootings. in that time, seven people lost their lives. even during lockdown, the problem didn't completely go away. in april, pavandeep daudher was fatally stabbed and died here. west midlands police think — through its violence reduction unit — intervention now will head off problems in the future. we cannot arrest our way out of youth violence. what we do need to do is make sure we are targeting the right people, the really high profile criminals, and taking them out of the way to create the space for our partners to step into to help vulnerable young people and put them on the right path. robbie has changed his friendship group and cut out the bad influences. i have learned my lesson now. i'm glad it happened early on because now i know who to surround myself with. i've got one more chance left
7:28 pm
and if i blow this one then i don't know what i'm going to do. even if he doesn't make it as a footballer, he hopes to make a career in sport or as a personal trainer. phil mackie, bbc news, coventry. hello. after the last few weekends that have brought us strong winds and some quite heavy rain, thanks to low pressure, this weekend is a very different prospect. lighter winds, a lot of fine weather, thanks to high pressure, just a chance on sunday that these weather fronts will roll into the far north—west of the uk, bringing some more cloud later on in the day on sunday and some rain to finish the weekend for northern ireland in western scotland. this evening, we are set fair and overnight, out of the far north of the uk, a bit of a breeze will hold the overnight temperatures in double figures. elsewhere, with clear skies
7:29 pm
and light winds, it will get chilly in some rural spots. last night, we got down to four degrees in rural oxfordshire, it could be similar story first thing on sunday. lots of sunshine to be had through the day on england and wales but in comes that thicker cloud to northern ireland through the afternoon and there will be some evening rainfall. temperatures in the high teens to the north the uk, 00:29:17,467 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 the low 20s to the south.
