campaign groups have accused the government of failing to deliver on its promise of a new food strategy for england. a leak of of its plans suggests there will be no new tax on salt and sugar in processed foods. 0ur political reporter tony bonsignore has more details. the environmental impact of intensive farming methods, and the role of low—cost processed foods in contributing to obesity have all become hot political topics in recent years. in 2018, the government commissioned a major review into the whole food chain, from field to fork. the subsequent report recommended a tax on sugar and salt, reducing meat and dairy consumption and expanding free school meals. but a leaked copy of the government's long—awaited response suggests many of those recommendations won't be accepted.
1:07 pm
the white paper instead talks more generally about initiatives to boost health sustainability and accessibility of diets, and on food prices, the government simply says it will engage closely with the food industry to understand price impacts. 0ne industry to understand price impacts. one of the few new practical suggestions as to increase the use of responsibly sourced wild venison. all this will come as a disappointment to campaigners who have called for tougher measures to reduce meat and dairy consumption, and to tackle obesity. it reduce meat and dairy consumption, and to tackle obesity.— and to tackle obesity. it wasn't all bad. we and to tackle obesity. it wasn't all bad- we are _ and to tackle obesity. it wasn't all bad. we are pleased _ and to tackle obesity. it wasn't all bad. we are pleased to _ and to tackle obesity. it wasn't all bad. we are pleased to see - and to tackle obesity. it wasn't all bad. we are pleased to see a - bad. we are pleased to see a framework in there which will help the transition to nature friendly farming, but we do need government intervention in diet. we need to change the way that we eat. we need the government to be proposing changes to public procurement policy, to support more sustainable dietary patterns in schools and hospitals. we need them to introduce the salt and sugar tax, to change the salt and sugar tax, to change the way the products are manufactured and how they are sold, and we need an overarching ambition

1:10 pm
and are ai2—5 at lunch on day two. patrick gearey watched the morning's play. at times on day one, england must have felt they were bowling with that ball. such was the ease with which new zealand batted. seeing it big, they say, and tom blundell soon had his eye in. what now? remember, ben stokes asked to bowl first. careful what you wish for. england's next desire was for a new ball, but the umpires couldn't see a problem. all the while, a significant one was developing on the scoreboard. that was daryl mitchell edging past 100 for the second time this series. daryl mitchell has got back to back centuries. an achievement which can make you feel invincible, which can make you forget there is a fielder out there. matthew potts became briefly a sieve. if that wasn't bad enough, potts then had to bowl to the man he dropped. mitchell showed no mercy. oh, that's really good. blundell was soon manoeuvring his way to his own century,
1:11 pm
celebrated by team—mates who knew its value. new zealand's position was so strong, they could afford the odd risk. that's what did for blundell in the end. england finally took a catch, but the damage may already have been done. patrick gearey, bbc news. a long afternoon ahead in the cricket, and hopefully for you as well at home. that's it from the lunchtime team. the next news on bbc one is at 7pm, bye for now. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. england, scotland and wales are all

in nations league actions later. england play italy in a repeat of last years euro 2020 final, which italy won on penalties. england will be without phil foden, who is still recovering from covid. the match will be officially played behind closed doors at wolverhampton wanderers�* molineux stadium, although 3,000 fans, who are mainly schoolchildren, will be inside. it's part of the punishment handed down to the football association for the crowd trouble that marred the final at wembley. i think we've spoken enough about it. we spoke about it after the final, we have spoken about it when the punishment was first given. what i must say is that the vast majority of our fans that travelled to germany behaved themselves brilliantly, and i think enjoy the game, enjoyed the performance. so a big thank you to them, because i think maybe people were expecting
1:13 pm
something different. and it seems that there was a huge majority that were a great credit. wales take on belgium just three days after losing to the netherlands. and captain gareth bale has spoken out at a lack of consideration for player welfare. it's their fourth game in ten days, with their world cup qualification win against ukraine sandwiched between three nations league games. and bale believes the fixture pile—up is putting too much of a strain on all involved. bale has warned there would be consequences if the congested football calendar continues. something has to change, people at the top of the game have to do something. unfortunately, money comes into it, they want to make more money and it is a business, at the end of the day. but for player welfare, i think money needs the kind of be overlooked and you need to look after the players. because without the players, there is no product. scotland travel to the republic of ireland, who are without a win
1:14 pm
in the nations league. but manager steve clarke say�*s they won't underestimate the challenge they could face. any team going to dublin to play a game can expect a tough match. 0bviously game can expect a tough match. obviously the last two games have gone against them, but only by one goal. previous to that, a really good eight—game run when they went unbeaten. within that eight—game run was portugal and belgium. so we expect a tough game. let’s was portugal and belgium. so we expect a tough game. let's do the cricket nova _ new zealand's batsmen are dominating england on day two of the second test at trent bridge. the visitors are 412 for five at lunch. daryl mitchell reached his second hundred of the series before being dropped on 104 by potts. tom blundell missed out on a century at lords but made up for it this time to reach his third test century off 191 deliveries. his celebration was short—lived, though, as he was caught shortly after for 106 by jack leach.

1:17 pm
in the rwandan capital, kigali, at the commonwealth heads of government meeting in ten days' time. it follows an attempt to block a flight taking asylum seekers to rwanda next tuesday which was rejected by the courts. we are joined byjames wilson, who is deputy director of the campaign group, detention care. thanks for being with us. i haven't spoken to you on a channel since the announcement byjudge swift that they were rejecting the call for a stay on this flight. but the groups are going back to court on monday. 0n are going back to court on monday. on what grounds?— on what grounds? thank you very much. on what grounds? thank you very much- good _ on what grounds? thank you very much. good to _ on what grounds? thank you very much. good to speak— on what grounds? thank you very much. good to speak to _ on what grounds? thank you very much. good to speak to you. - on what grounds? thank you very much. good to speak to you. just| on what grounds? thank you very l much. good to speak to you. just to much. good to speak to you. just to correct you it is detention action, the name of the charity. we are going back to the court of appeal on monday, we still believe that the directions on the flight that is due to take tutor should be stopped. it is important to note yesterday's
1:18 pm
hearing was an injunction hearing for an interim relief team to stop those people being removed on tuesday. pending a more substantial hearing around the policy as a whole. it was not a vindication of the policy. our argument is that while that question is still to be tested in the court about the lawfulness of the policy, no want should be being removed in the meantime, that is what we will again be arguing for on monday. you meantime, that is what we will again be arguing for on monday.— be arguing for on monday. you are director of — be arguing for on monday. you are director of your _ be arguing for on monday. you are director of your group _ be arguing for on monday. you are director of your group -- _ be arguing for on monday. you are director of your group -- your - director of your group —— your director of your group -- your director of your group -- your director of your group -- your director of your group —— your director of your group tweeted in response to this story, "welcome to the team, your royal highness," in response to prince charles�*s remarks. is that how you see it? that he is now taking site on this issue? i that he is now taking site on this issue? ., ., ., , issue? i mean, i note that it is reported _ issue? i mean, i note that it is reported private _ issue? i mean, i note that it is reported private remarks - issue? i mean, i note that it is| reported private remarks rather issue? i mean, i note that it is - reported private remarks rather than public ones, but we welcome any support on this issue. we agree it is an appalling policy. and fundamentally unlawful. what we say is at the very least the courts need
1:19 pm
to contest it. we think it is unlawful, both because we don't think anybody should be being punished for seeking asylum, which is a human right, we should be considering those in the uk. every secondly don't agree with the government's claim that rwanda is a safe third country to which we should be removing people. the reason i mention the tweet is because that is the peril, isn't it, the prince charles and anyone else who makes remarks of this kind, even if they are private? some people may strategically release them for their own benefit. then of course politicians, campaign groups, other organisations willjump on it. yeah. organisations will “ump on it. yeah, it is not really — organisations will “ump on it. yeah, it is not really for — organisations willjump on it. yeah, it is not really for me _ organisations willjump on it. yeah, it is not really for me to _ organisations willjump on it. yeah, it is not really for me to comment l it is not really for me to comment what the royal family are alleged to have said. but what the royal family are alleged to have said. �* , ., what the royal family are alleged to have said. �* i. . ., .,, have said. but your director has commented _ have said. but your director has commented because _ have said. but your director has commented because he - have said. but your director has commented because he has - have said. but your director has | commented because he has said welcome aboard. she, forgive me. yeah, i think the important point for us is the lawfulness of the
1:20 pm
policy rather than those who are supporting it. otherwise i think it is important it is fully tested. it is important it is fully tested. it is a such a new and unprecedented policy to bring in, so fundamentally flawed we think. what we care about is the welfare of the people due to be removed this week to remember. we think it is a noncontroversial request to say that we do need to not be removing anyone for the time being until this has been tested and the courts have examined in some detail the safety of going ahead with this and the lawfulness. last ni . ht i with this and the lawfulness. last night i was _ with this and the lawfulness. last night i was talking _ with this and the lawfulness. last night i was talking to mark easton are home editor who was pointing out that the number who are actually going in this first flight is already falling because the government is changing its mind about some of the people who it was going to put on the flight. do you have any explanation? have they given you any clarity as to why those people have suddenly been told, "no, you would be going, at least for now"?— least for now"? very anecdotally, because i think _ least for now"? very anecdotally, because i think dozens _ least for now"? very anecdotally, because i think dozens of - least for now"? very anecdotally, because i think dozens of people | because i think dozens of people

1:23 pm
a small thaw in a relationship that has reached worrying levels of hostility for countries in this region. now, mr austin said he was in singapore to listen, that the united states did not seek conflict and that it wasn't seeking a new cold war. but he did criticise china for what he calls a more coercive and more aggressive approach it was taking with regards to its territorial disputes in the region. now, that means the south china sea and that means taiwan. 0n taiwan, mr austin also criticised the increased military operations that china was engaging in near the self—governing island. he called them provocative and destabilising. we also heard today from the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky. he addressed delegates via video link and he said that the outcome of the war would notjust affect his country, but it would affect the entire
1:24 pm
international order. he also spoke about the impact the war was having on food prices, something which is being felt acutely here in asia. translation: the shortage of food supplies will inexorably _ lead to political chaos, which could result in governments falling and politicians being overthrown. this looming threat, it's obvious just by looking at the skyrocketing prices for basic products on the world markets — it is a direct consequence of the acts of the russian state. now, don't forget that while some countries in the region have denounced russia's invasion of ukraine and even imposed sanctions — singapore, south korea, japan, australia, for example — many others haven't, notably china. and you cannot discount the importance of beijing's sphere of influence in the indo—pacific and how sharply the war in ukraine has brought that into focus over the past few months.
1:25 pm
nick marsh at the shangri—la dialogue. next week marks a0 years since the end of the falklands war, a conflict that came at a high cost for some of its survivors, who went on to develop symptoms of post—traumatic stress. flashbacks, insomnia and heavy drinking were some of the long term issues they faced, as our special correspondent allan little reports. couldn't see my kids because i was a bit of a loose cannon, really. i wasn't a nice person in them days, and everything was taken away, you know, and it was hard. come on...come on. when paul bromwell came home from the falklands, his life fell apart. for years, he drank, he couldn't sleep, he was violent. when he realised others were also struggling, he founded valley veterans. whoa. i started helping other people, and that's what i've done ever since, and that's when i started to mend myself as well. i started to get involved with the horses. that was massive for me, because i found something that
1:26 pm
i could channel my mind into, you know, and the horse would give me so much. i'd sit in the corner and just listen to them munching the hay, and that cheers me up. but also, at the same time, i've got the guys up here, we're all like—minded, we're out in the air, not hurting anyone, and we're trying to build something positive, you know. and the guys and the conversations we've had in our little room in there...amazing. bagpipes skirl this is the erskine veterans village near glasgow. it's home to hundreds of former servicemen and women. for them, a0 years is the blink of an eye, and they commemorate the experience still. after the falklands, a long, slow evolution began in the way we think about war trauma. but back then, the stigma it carried caused many to suffer in silent shame. i think it goes back to a long—standing view that if you stay ill, then it's really a question of character — there's
1:27 pm
something wrong with you, and it's a weakness, it's a character flaw. that was a very common view in the mid 20th century, and you still see — that was echoes of that in the �*80s and �*90s. it's very unusual to find that now, and i would actually say rather the opposite now — i think the military have had massive changes. we know that a considerable number of people in the military do come forward now with mental health problems. the military have made major strides there. i'm not saying it's perfect, but it's much better than it was. david cruickshanks was a beneficiary of that change. he's written a book about his ptsd. he was just 17 when he came home from the falklands. by his mid—30s, he was also drinking heavily. it took nearly 20 years for him to seek help. i knew there was something going on, i didn't know what it was called, i didn't know how to explain it, i didn't want to tell anybody about it, i wanted to mask it. you knew something was wrong
1:28 pm
but you didn't really want to admit it, and when that doctor said, "i think...| think you might "have some sort of panic disorder or anxiety, "i'm going to refer you," and i rememberthat day because ijust burst out crying. it was like a complete release. "oh, my god, i do not have to pretend any more," you know, "and there's help. " i get so much out of this, for me. itjust chills me out. the vast majority of combat veterans do not develop ptsd, and many of those who do get better in time. but the falklands generation is the last for whom the condition went, initially at least, unrecognised and untreated. they paid a high price for that. for paul bromwell, recovery began with the discovery that he was not alone and in the company of old comrades. allan little, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise. good afternoon. it's quite quiet out there for many, with some lovely sunny
1:29 pm
spells coming through, and in the sunshine it's feeling quite warm. but there is some cloud and some nuisance rain, accompanied by gusty winds across much of western scotland, turning showery into northern ireland and northern england. that's how we are going to continue through the rest of the day. so, with the best of the sunshine comes the best of the warmth. we could see temperatures just peaking at 23 celsius. a little bit more disappointing if you've got the cloud, the wind and the rain further north. now, that rain will tend to ease as we go through the night, becoming quite showery in nature. so we keep a little bit of cloud here. elsewhere, it will be a relatively mild night, so temperatures widely into double figures first thing on sunday morning. but sunday will be a quieter, settled and sunnier day for many of us. the winds will be noticeably lighter. we are still going to run the risk of a few showers, chiefly through scotland, northern ireland and northern england, but the rain not as persistent as today. top temperatures in the sun — 22 degrees.
1:30 pm
hello this is bbc news. the headlines... prince charles is reported to have described the government's rwanda asylum scheme as "appalling". the first flight is scheduled to leave on tuesday. prince charles was overheard saying this. he hasn't said it, he hasn't declared it. his office has made it clear that he is staying politically neutral. police in brazil searching for a missing britishjournalist and an expert on indigenous peoples say they've found possible human remains in a river. borisjohnson urges ministers to do "everything in their power" to secure the release of two british men sentenced to death for fighting russian forces. the maximum interest rate on student loans in england is being cut by almost 5%. ministers hope it will provide "peace of mind" for graduates. a father and son have been killed in a crash at the isle of man tt. five riders have died in this year's event. as you can see, this eye is not blinking.
