of earth's most powerful telescopes with new technology — that will reveal how our galaxy formed in unprecedented detail. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. england's lionesses have made history in a dramatic win against old rivals germany, in football's european championship final. there were scenes ofjoy on and off the pitch, as a record—breaking 87,000 fans packed wembley stadium, and nearly 17.5 million people watched on television. it's the first major trophy for england since the men's world cup win in 1966. mark lobel reports. a euphoric moment for english sport with a pitch—perfect performance
10:02 am
from the lionesses, bringing football home in front of a record crowd of over 87,000 at wembley, and many more watching on around the country and world. let's hear it for england! said to harriet in the ground, she's got to do all she can to try and remember this, because i said the last time england won a tournament was when nanny was born, which was a long time ago. best day of our lives. like, seriously, we've just watched england win the euros. _ like that might notj ever happen again. best day ever. we've got an amazing team and we're going to win the world cup. the women were awesome, like great football, great end to end _ entertainment and we won. so, yes! come on england! i don't want to use a comparison because i don't want to compare it to men's football, but the reality is we got the job done. and the attendance throughout the stadium to support the english in england has been great
10:03 am
and it can only be better for grassroots football. it was a foul—filled first half as eight time european champions germany looked to stop england's sudden momentum, which was all the tougher as they were stepping out without their best player injured before kick—off. with an hour gone it was an audacious chip by manchester united's ella toone, an absolute belter that broke the deadlock, sending fans in central london wild. but less than 20 minutes later, germany's lina magull slotted home, taking it to extra time. england needed to regroup. then came super sub chloe kelly at first missing, then blasting in her first international goal and the one that landed it for england. her celebration earned her a booking, no doubt worth it as it looks set to become one
10:04 am
of the most iconic images of modern women's sport encompassing this epic win months after her recovery from an acute knee injury. after many years of hurt, the relief was palpable. # it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming... _ # football's coming home! the whole tournament we've had so much support from our fans and it's really incredible and i think we did an incrediblejob. i'm so proud of the players, the staff and support from the fans. they're also bursting with pride for the lionesses at the palace, the queen sending her warmest congratulations and those of her family. however, she tells the winning team, your success goes far beyond the trophy you have so deservedly earned. you have all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today and for future generations. the question now is will it move
10:05 am
this and other women's sports on? will they get the recognition so many say they need and now truly deserve? mark lobel, bbc news. mark bullingham, chief executive of the football association says the players have �*captured the nation's hearts�* and their achievement will �*supercharge�* women and girls�* football. the last few years have been incredible. we have invested really heavily but the lionesses have taken their opportunity and they have produced something incredible, and we are so proud of them. it�*s been an amazing month and an amazing day yesterday. it will really encourage girls around the country to come and play, and we have always said that there is no reason why we shouldn�*t have the same number of girls playing as boys. and we think it will create a whole new generation of heroes for girls to aspire to be like. sanchia berg is outside the team�*s hotel in teddington, southwest london. those big buses behind you, we expect the lionesses to board them
10:06 am
imminently, don�*t we? expect the lionesses to board them imminently, don't we?— imminently, don't we? that's right, the were imminently, don't we? that's right, they were expected _ imminently, don't we? that's right, they were expected to _ imminently, don't we? that's right, they were expected to board - imminently, don't we? that's right, j they were expected to board around ten o�*clock so they should be getting on them any time soon, and you can�*t see because they are all looking at the buses, but a fairly substantial crowd of local people gathered, dog walkers, families. people have come to just try and get a glimpse of the lionesses as they set off. we have seen a few of them this morning, they have wandered out for a coffee. jill scott, for example, we saw her go out for a walk, come back, they have said a few words, leah williamson came out with the trophy, showed it to everybody, held it up, and she has gone inside again. but we are hoping we might catch a few words with them before they actually set off. i did talk to baroness sue campbell, director of women�*s football at the football association, and she said they had been partying untilfour o�*clock in the morning so there are a lot of heavy heads this morning. i was going to ask what we know about
10:07 am

10:08 am
we are waiting for the lionesses to leave the hotel and end up where you are. tell us about preparations where you are. the are. tell us about preparations where you are.— are. tell us about preparations where you are. the noise is 'ust startin: where you are. the noise is 'ust starting here i where you are. the noise is 'ust starting here because i where you are. the noise is 'ust starting here because they h where you are. the noise isjust starting here because they are l starting here because they are running through rehearsals, but what is effectively going to be another party here around lunchtime in trafalgar square with all the lionesses on the stage here, music, djs and presenters, it will be a final chance really to celebrate their victory last night before the lionesses themselves are given a bit of time off. the party we heard that was going on until about 4am at the hotel is going to continue here in trafalgar square at lunchtime today. some other bits of information to have come in this morning, to give us a sense of the scale and level of interest in this game and the performance of the lionesses last night, the viewing figures have come in from bbc one domestically in the uk in terms of how many people were watching last night, and that is 17.4 million people watched that game in the uk on bbc one last night. that makes it the most
10:09 am
watched television programme in the uk this year, and also streaming on the app on the bbc sport website and iplayer, 5.9 million streams of people watching that lionesses game against germany last night. i think what that immediately does is give you a sense of the level of interest in that performance in women�*s football in that game that now needs to be captured and used to move forward. in terms of coming to trafalgar square today, members of the public can come, 7000 people will get a ticket on the door, first come first served to take part in the celebration today. people have been queueing since seven or eight o�*clock this morning, and they will be let in in the next hour or so to be let in in the next hour or so to be part of the celebrations in central london. people have been queueing since early this morning but last night people were there watching the game as well. there has been a record — watching the game as well. there has been a record attendance _ watching the game as well. there has been a record attendance at - watching the game as well. there has| been a record attendance at wembley, there has been huge viewing figures as you said, and people watching all around the uk in fan parks like they�*re in trafalgar square as well.
10:10 am
that�*s right, trafalgar square has been a fan zone during the women�*s euros, where fans have been able to congregate and watch the game on big screens and it is where they were last night and very much the focus in london for people watching other than wembley stadium of course. now it is the champion�*s zone, where the players will come and be celebrated yet again, they will talk about their experience, perhaps they will be more effective today having got over the euphoria of winning last night. it is where the fans will get a chance to see them in person, hear what they have to say after the big win last night. i}!(. what they have to say after the big win last night-— win last night. ok, thanks very much. win last night. ok, thanks very much- we _ win last night. ok, thanks very much. we will— win last night. ok, thanks very much. we will be _ win last night. ok, thanks very much. we will be back - win last night. ok, thanks very much. we will be back with - win last night. ok, thanks very| much. we will be back with you throughout the morning. professor tom cannon is an expert in the finances of football from the university of liverpool management school. welcome, good to have you on the programme. lots of talk since this wind about how it will transform the finances of women�*s football. talk us through that, and what can we expect now? —— this win. indie us through that, and what can we expect now? -- this win.- expect now? -- this win. we can exect expect now? -- this win. we can exnect the _ expect now? -- this win. we can exnect the fa — expect now? -- this win. we can expect the fa to _ expect now? -- this win. we can expect the fa to increase - expect now? -- this win. we can l expect the fa to increase funding, so far it committed last year to give £30 million to the women�*s game
10:11 am
over the subsequent three years. i think you could anticipate that will double, if not treble. the premier league are bound to get involved much more actively than they have stopped so far they have been mainly the supporters of the women�*s premier league, but i would imagine the 5 million or 6 million they give to that will also be doubled or trebled, and that�*s before you get to the kind of money we can expect from sponsorship. barclays are already the main sponsor but i imagine any british premium brand which is looking to affirm its image will be wanting to affirm its image through those players and that team. just break down where the different pots of money go and how it helps the game from the grassroots all way up. the game from the grassroots all way u -. the game from the grassroots all way u . _ , the game from the grassroots all way u -. , , ., . ., , up. the first level is of course the premier league's _ up. the first level is of course the premier league's money - up. the first level is of course the premier league's money so - up. the first level is of course the premier league's money so far. up. the first level is of course the | premier league's money so far has premier league�*s money so far has been focused on the premier league of women�*s football. but interestingly the premier league�*s new chair is a woman called elaine britain who will be joining next year, and i�*m absolutely certain she
10:12 am
will be determined to provide more money, notjust for premier league women�*s football but right through the game because the premier league is very heavily funded and she�*s the kind of insightful person who i�*m sure we�*ll look to build on that command notjust build on the team but build on the image. let�*s be honest, last season was a terrible season in image terms for premier league football with crowd violence, pitch invasions and the contrast between that and the atmosphere at wembley, notjust on the pitch but off the pitch on the way to the pitch, was so transformative that the truth of the matter is elaine britain will have to do a significant amount to build on that image and use it to refresh the image and use it to refresh the image of premier league football generally. but the brands are going to get involved and you will see all of those players, especially eller, chloe, leah williamson, f, lucy bronze, exploiting the opportunities this will give them. fantastically
10:13 am
amazing is the effect she has had, that team has had my right across english football and across the country. english football and across the count . ~ ., , , english football and across the count .~ ., , , ., english football and across the count. ., , ,., .,, english football and across the count. ., , ,., ., , country. who ensures that money goes to the younger— country. who ensures that money goes to the younger players, _ country. who ensures that money goes to the younger players, those - country. who ensures that money goes to the younger players, those who - to the younger players, those who are in the grassroots come in the next generation of winners for women�*s football? i next generation of winners for women's football?— women's football? i think the premier league _ women's football? i think the premier league have - women's football? i think the premier league have to - women's football? i think the premier league have to work| women's football? i think the - premier league have to work with the fa on that because the truth is not only does it need funding right through but the truth is they need more pitches, they need an awful lot support at school level, you can imagine that the next year will see a tremendous amount of resurgence of interest in football at school level and at post school level. that is where really you are going to talk about it. i hope that one of the things that happens is some additional support right down. some of the great teams of english women�*s football have faded somewhat. doncaster belles, one of the great pioneering clubs, that�*s the great pioneering clubs, that�*s the level, they are now in a lower
10:14 am
division of women�*s football, they need additional... the true lionesses are millwall lionesses who are one of the great teams and they will need and clubs at her level and at that level need support right through the game, this is what the transformation financially ought to mean command also in presentation and image terms. and it will be not just at the top level, the big clubs, getting backed by people like barclays, but also local clubs getting more support and more sponsorship by local businesses who will want to build on this positive image the game has created. just briefl ut image the game has created. just briefly put this into context money wise, how much money currently goes into the women�*s game versus ends? you are talking about the 30 million the fa committed last year and you are talking about 5 million or 6 million the premier league has been committing in recent years. i think you are going to be talking about probably doubling and trebling the fa's
10:15 am
probably doubling and trebling the fa�*s money and i think the premier league will be looking especially with the money going beyond the premier league of women�*s football, i think you are going to be talking about probably a three or five fold increase but i think the sponsorship money is where the real transformation will occur. i think you are going to be talking about hundreds of millions going into the game and particularly building on that image, the positive image of football, notjust women�*s that image, the positive image of football, not just women�*s football, which that crowd and those teams and those players have created in a time, frankly, when most of us are pretty depressed of the view we are getting of our nation, and they have transformed it overnight. qm. getting of our nation, and they have transformed it overnight.— transformed it overnight. 0k, really interestin: transformed it overnight. 0k, really interesting to _ transformed it overnight. 0k, really interesting to get _ transformed it overnight. 0k, really interesting to get your _ transformed it overnight. 0k, really interesting to get your thoughts, i interesting to get your thoughts, thank you for being with us. i�*m joined by ellie wilson who plays for sheffield united and was at the final yesterday. great to see you. tell us what the atmosphere was like. it must have been incredible. i atmosphere was like. it must have been incredible.— atmosphere was like. it must have been incredible. i don't know how to ut it into been incredible. i don't know how to put it into words, _ been incredible. i don't know how to put it into words, to _ been incredible. i don't know how to put it into words, to be _ been incredible. i don't know how to put it into words, to be honest - been incredible. i don't know how to put it into words, to be honest with | put it into words, to be honest with you. it was unbelievable from start
10:16 am
to finish, to be honest. there are fans everywhere from three or four hours prior to kick—off and the atmosphere in the stadium was just electric. it was very tense as well because obviously the nature of the game, i couldn�*t sit still. it was amazing. i game, i couldn't sit still. it was amazinu. , ., i. game, i couldn't sit still. it was amazin. , ., ~ amazing. i spoke to you last week after we won _ amazing. i spoke to you last week after we won the _ amazing. i spoke to you last week after we won the semis, - amazing. i spoke to you last week after we won the semis, going - amazing. i spoke to you last week - after we won the semis, going ahead, looking ahead to the final as you were fairly optimistic. but did he really hand on heart believe we would win? i really hand on heart believe we would win?— would win? i thought we were definitely going _ would win? i thought we were definitely going to _ would win? i thought we were definitely going to get - would win? i thought we were definitely going to get to - would win? i thought we were definitely going to get to the l would win? i thought we were - definitely going to get to the final and i thought, yes, i have a feeling it is going to come home because it is a home euros, so many pieces of the puzzle, it wasjust is a home euros, so many pieces of the puzzle, it was just meant to be, but it sounds cheesy cliche but i thought there is no way we can lose this final and the girls would have known that themselves and the squad, and luckily it was our day on the day and we took it without going to penalties. it was nerve—racking. you penalties. it was nerve-racking. you are a defender _
10:17 am
penalties. it was nerve—racking. you are a defender for sheffield united, are a defenderfor sheffield united, and we talked a lot this morning about how this result will drastically change the face of women�*s football in this country. what do you think it will mean for you personally? we what do you think it will mean for you personally?— what do you think it will mean for you personally? we touched on a lot ofthe you personally? we touched on a lot of the investment _ you personally? we touched on a lot of the investment side _ you personally? we touched on a lot of the investment side of _ you personally? we touched on a lot of the investment side of it - you personally? we touched on a lot of the investment side of it and - of the investment side of it and sponsorship as well. i think the amount of interest that has come off the back of the tournament, with more groups of people being involved and wanting to see the games, wanting to attend in person and tuning online and things like that, i think that is all adding to the hype and the buzz around the game at the moment. from a business perspective i�*m sure it is something people will want to jump on board and support. so hopefully that filters through to the wsl and barclays championship and it will grow our game even more, we will have a lot more support and access to bigger stadiums. have a lot more support and access to biggerstadiums. it have a lot more support and access to bigger stadiums. it should just filter through the whole football pyramid for the women�*s side so it�*s exciting to think what this could do and i would expect attendances will be high this season particularly.
10:18 am
what about financially? do you see a big uptick for people like you who play professionally? i big uptick for people like you who play professionally?— play professionally? i think potentially. _ play professionally? i think potentially, when - play professionally? i think potentially, when there - play professionally? i think potentially, when there is. play professionally? i think- potentially, when there is more money involved in the game, obviously that can filter through to various different aspects of the club, the players and things like that. i touched on it last time, we are still a part—time outfit so a lot of us still work alongside playing professional level football and that is a challenge in itself. we have seen with the professionalism of the game more and more teams are going full time professional, and that�*s the girls�* full time income. as there is more interest across the board, more teams will be able to make that next move and make thatjump with professionalised outfits. sheffield united, for example, i would expect that will be the next step at sometime in the future and many other clubs will follow, i would assume. . ,., ., other clubs will follow, i would assume. . ., , ., other clubs will follow, i would assume. . ., assume. ellie wilson, glad you could 'oin is and assume. ellie wilson, glad you could join is and they _ assume. ellie wilson, glad you could join is and they got _ assume. ellie wilson, glad you could join is and they got the _ assume. ellie wilson, glad you could join is and they got the win - assume. ellie wilson, glad you could join is and they got the win that - join is and they got the win that they deserved and you could be there

10:20 am
evening by police. deividas skebas has been charged with her murder and will appear at lincoln crown court at two o�*clock this afternoon. this case has had a huge impact on the community in boston in the town centre where she was found. she was reportedly playing with her sister outside an embroidery shop where her mother was working nearby. this case has prompted a huge reaction from the local community. there have been candles lit in her memory all weekend, there have been dozens of flowers laid near the scene. the police cordoned off fountain lane where she was found, all weekend. the response has been huge. police described this in their most recent release as a heartbreaking case that has affected many people in boston. just a reminder deividas skebas, 28 years old, lithuanian national, will appear at lincoln crown court this
10:21 am
afternoon at two o�*clock after being remanded custody from here at the magistrates�* court. remanded custody from here at the magistrates' court.— the united nations secretary general has welcomed the departure of the first ship carrying grain from ukrainian port of 0desa since the russian invasion. the vessel is expected to arrive in turkish waters tomorrow and continue to the port of tripoli in lebanon after inspection in istanbul. razoni carries more than 26,000 tonnes of grain. it�*s thought around 20 million tonnes of grain are stuck in silos around ukraine — which many countries rely on. before the war 12% of global wheat exports came from ukraine. some countries in africa and the middle east, are being hit hard. libya relies on ukraine for over half its wheat. and lebanon where the first shipment is headed towards, around 60%. 0ur correspondent, james waterhouse, is following developments from 0desa. this represents a small but significant start for ukraine. the site of the razoni with 26,000 tonnes of ukrainian grain making its way out
10:22 am
there into the black sea through mine—infested waters, before making its way along past a russian naval blockade, before being inspected in istanbul where it will then make its way to lebanon. it is the first of what is hoped will be many but many more vessels will need to follow for a sustained period in orderfor ukraine�*s damaged economy to benefit, as well as some of the poorest countries in the world which are ukraine�*s biggest grain customers. for now it is holding but a lot needs to happen because this is a route coming in and out of what is still an active war zone. there have been air strikes all week along the 0desa region so no—one is going to be getting carried away, but it is a welcome sight to so many in this country. james waterhouse in 0desa. the secret behind how our galaxy became home to 400 billion stars is being explored, in a new research project. an instrument has been installed on top of a mountain
10:23 am
on the island of la palma, in the atlantic ocean, which will analyse the stars, to reconstruct how the milky way was formed. 0ur science correspondent, pallab ghosh has more. they shine in the night sky, but how did they get there? the answer is contained in the light the stars actually give off. gavin dalton has spent more than a decade developing an instrument to study the light from 5 million stars to reveal the secrets of how our galaxy was created. and now, it is ready to go. it is a fantastic achievement from a lot of people to make this happen and it is great to see it working. so the next step is the new adventure, it�*s brilliant. we�*ll learn about this really detailed structure. we�*ll learn about the dynamics and how the stars are moving around. and we�*ll learn about the evolutionary histories. 0ur galaxy was once a small collection of stars. it grew from the merger of other galaxies over billions of years, each collision leading
10:24 am
to the creation of brand—new stars until it became the dense spiral swirl it is today. the new instrument can piece together exactly how this happened. by using optical fibres it is able to capture the light from 1,000 stars every hour, revealing the age and direction of each one. it tells scientists where they came from and where they will go next. whenever there is a new instrument or something big going on, there is all the things for what the instrument was designed. but then there is an enormous amount of things that we are going to discover that we still don�*t know because the universe is full of these surprises. so how does this instrument find out what stars are made of? scientists take starlight and pass it through a prism, splitting it into a rainbow spectrum. every element like hydrogen absorbs light in its own unique way, appearing as lines on the spectrum. different chemicals have their own characteristic bar code,
10:25 am
allowing astronomers to work out what the star is made of. this telescope is just one of a dozen on the mountaintop, each one probing the skies in different ways. they can see much more of the cosmos than ever before. and the man in charge tells me that there is growing excitement about what lies ahead. we have been hearing for decades that we are in a golden era of astronomy. but what the future awaits is a lot more important. it�*s a combination of telescopes of different kinds, of different nationalities, and also tremendous computing power that allows us to process all of this information and give it to the astronomers, to the creative minds. the new telescopes are about to lift a veil on the cosmos. uncovering the deep secrets of our milky way.
10:26 am
by revealing the path of millions of stars in the night sky, it will give astronomers the big picture of how our galaxy came to be. palla b pallab ghosh, bbc news, la palma. i�*m joined now by professor gavin dalton of oxford university. he has spent more than a decade developing the super—fast mapping device that will show where the stars in the milky way came from. professor, welcome to you and great to have you on the programme. just explain a bit more about your device, which i understand sits on top of the telescope.— device, which i understand sits on top of the telescope. yes. the prime focus of the — top of the telescope. yes. the prime focus of the telescope, _ top of the telescope. yes. the prime focus of the telescope, we _ top of the telescope. yes. the prime focus of the telescope, we have - focus of the telescope, we have created a wide field of view with a focal plane that is 2 degrees across on the sky, that�*s four times the size of the moon. in that focal plane we expect to see 1,000 stars in each observation and we know where all of those stars are, so what we have built is an instrument which places optical fibres at the position of each star in the field,
10:27 am
we set that up in advance. when it is time for that observation to happen we move the configured focal plane into the field of view of the telescope, we move the telescope to the position and the light from each one of those stars goes down a fibre, they all line up at the entrance to the main part of the instrument which is a spectrometer, splits the light into all of its different colours and within those colours you can see information about the chemistry. so you find out about the chemistry. so you find out about the chemistry of the stars, the distribution of elements, and that contains the fingerprint of the elements, the distribution of elements, the distribution of elements within where they formed. so the little host galaxy that they formed in as that galaxy fell into the milk away carries this chemical fingerprint and this is what we try to disentangle. we have mapped that out across stars that are not completely spread out across the galactic disk, we cannot disentangle them in any other way but with this

chemical technique we can trace them back to the individual formation. why is it so important to discover the milky way�*s origins? haste why is it so important to discover the milky way's origins? we have a icture of the milky way's origins? we have a picture of how _ the milky way's origins? we have a picture of how the _ the milky way's origins? we have a picture of how the universe - the milky way's origins? we have a picture of how the universe formed | picture of how the universe formed and how galaxies themselves begin to build up and assemble in the early universe and how they evolve, how stars form in galaxies and how the whole picture of the present day universe that we see comes to be. the closest galaxy that we can study as our own. the problem with studying our own galaxy is it to spread out across the whole sky, it a huge target, and yet we can study it in incredible detail if we can find a way of looking at so many stars that we can get good statistics on what is happening. and statistics on what is happening. and 'ust briefl , statistics on what is happening. and just briefly, how long is it going to be before we get the information you are so looking forward to receiving? haste you are so looking forward to receiving?— you are so looking forward to receivin: ? ~ ., ., , receiving? we are hoping we will get started by the _ receiving? we are hoping we will get started by the end _ receiving? we are hoping we will get started by the end of _ receiving? we are hoping we will get started by the end of the _ receiving? we are hoping we will get started by the end of the year, - receiving? we are hoping we will get started by the end of the year, we i started by the end of the year, we are in the final phase of integration and commissioning at the moment. then we have five years of observation, so even with this kind

10:30 am
until the 1970s the ban was lifted. 50 years of women organising themselves, their own leagues and tournaments, playing football, but no—one acknowledged or recognised it was happening. it was not until the first england official team in 1972 that it started to be flagged up as something that was happening. and 1984 was the first euros final and england lost to sweden. it has been a huge amount of change in a short space of time, only four years the women�*s super league has been fully professional. we are seeing the combination of all that with the lionesses and their amazing win this summer. it has been a huge journey. tell us what this win will mean for women�*s football? it will mean a huge amount, not only for women�*s football and women�*s sport, women in society seeing women at the top level, being celebrated for those achievements and being supported to reach those achievements. it has been incredible, and i think investment and greater sponsorship and more infrastructure for the women�*s game
10:31 am
is still necessary to encourage more girls and women to the game and ensure there are more victories like that in the years to come. a victory of course is to be celebrated on this scale, where does that put women on terms of a par with men�*s football because they�*re still nowhere near? men�*s football and women�*s football are nowhere near. men�*s football has a stronger history, stronger foundations, although they developed in parallel, men�*s football has been ballot papers will be delivered to conservative party members today, as they prepare to cast their vote on who they want to be the next party leader and prime minister. the final two candidates — rishi sunak and liz truss — have clashed over their differing policies on tax. former finance minister mr sunak has unveiled a new pitch to party members calling for a 4% reduction in income tax by the end of the next parliament. here he is explaining the proposal on the bbc�*s today programme. now, the last week or so of this contest we have been focused on the here and now about how best to fight inflation, and i think everyone knows
10:32 am
where we stand on that, and we have different points of view. but as chancellor i was very keen to make sure that i started cutting taxes, and what i�*ve announced today builds on that, and that�*s because i believe in rewarding work, and the best way for government to signal that is to cut people�*s income tax. and in this parliament as chancellor i already said we are going to cut income tax for the first time in almost 15 years, and as prime minister i want to go further than that and cut income tax at the basic rate by a fifth to 16p. but i want to do that in a way that�*s responsible, i want to make sure that we can pay for it, i want to make sure we can do it alongside growing the economy. so that�*s the vision that i have come and i think it�*s right that people know where i want to take the economy. but it�*s entirely different to doing things right now that would make the situation far worse and endanger people�*s mortgages which is not something i want to do. the new promises from mr sunak come ahead of the latest hustings in the southern english city of exeter this evening.
10:33 am
0ur uk political correspondent jonathan blake has more. they have until the 2nd of september to get their votes in, the conservative party members, they can start doing that from this morning. as you say, rishi sunak is trying to seize the agenda and shore up support for his campaign which is trailing behind liz truss, according to the polls we have seen of conservative party members. he is announcing a significant cut to income tax, describing it as the biggest income tax cut since margaret thatcher�*s government. radical but realistic, he says. as planned he will reduce the basic rate of income tax from 20p in the pound, to 19p by the end of 2024 and then go on to reduce it further if he were to be prime minister to 16p in the pound by the end of the next parliament, and that could be as late as the end of 2029. this is in stark contrast to what rishi sunak has been saying until very recently when he said that while he did want to cut taxes in the future, the priority in the immediate term was
10:34 am
to bring inflation down under control, and you contrast that to liz truss and her campaign which has promised a raft of immediate tax cuts which she claims are needed to boost the economy. speaking this morning rishi sunak says this is consistent with his approach so far. he has always said he would want to cut taxes eventually and it is right, he says, in his words, that people know where he wants to take the economy. but he�*s faced accusations of u—turning from liz truss�*s campaign and others and going back on his initial strategy and initial promises with a move that to some looks a little bit panicky and a little bit desperate as he tries to regain some support and win over those all—important conservative party members who can now from today vote in this contest. i was going to ask you about that, ballot papers are out today. they have several weeks still to decide. but i guess this is the unknown, when will people cast their ballot and how long do the candidates
10:35 am
have to win anyone over? it is a very wide window. they have four weeks in which to vote, they might do it straightaway or they might wait and weigh up the choice before them. the received wisdom seems to be that most members will vote early, having made up their minds already. but there will be many, a good chunk of them who are undecided, and that�*s why over the next few weeks we will see this campaign play out day after day. there are many different hustings events that the two candidates are attending, meeting different conservative association groups day after day in different parts of the country, and they will be doing that until the voting closes on the 2nd of september. tonight the candidates go to a hustings event in exeter down in the south—west of england where they will face more questions from members. political leaders willjoin the family and friends

of david trimble at his funeral service today. the former ulster unionist party leader — who was one of the key architects of the good friday agreement — died last week aged 77. prime minister borisjohnson will be among the mourners, along with the republic of ireland�*s president and taoiseach the court of appeal will hold a last—minute hearing today in the case of archie battersbee — just hours before doctors are due to withdraw his life support. the 12—year—old was found unconscious at his home in southend nearly four months ago. doctors were planning to disconnect his ventilator at two o�*clock this afternoon — afterjudges upheld their decision. now, a united nations committee is asking the royal london hospital to keep treating archie while it examines the case. his mother, hollie dance, spoke to the bbc outside the hospital about why she thinks the system should change. i definitely think laws need to be changed. i don�*t think any parent should have to go through this. the whole question on whose right it is to make these decisions with regards to your child,
10:37 am
it needs looking at again, and the government and this hospital and these judges over in this country did not give birth to archie. i gave birth to archie. archie is my child, archie is paul�*s child. it shouldn�*t be anybody else�*s decision but ours. the chief medical officer for barts health trust, which runs the hospital where archie is being treated, said in a statement: "our deepest sympathies are with archie�*s family at this difficult time. we understand a court hearing will take place on monday morning and we await the outcome. the plan to withdraw treatment will proceed unless the court directs otherwise." thousands of people in northern california have been evacuated as the us state battles a second major wildfire this season. the mckinney fire started in northern california, near the border with 0regon on friday and has spread rapidly to become the largest this year. it�*s already scorched tens of thousands of acres. two—thousand residents have been forced to leave their homes,
10:38 am
and dozens of trekkers on the pacific crest hiking trail have been evacuated to safety. no injuries have been reported so far. search and rescue crews continue to look for survivors in the us state of kentucky, where record flooding has wiped out entire communities. at least 28 people have died — although the state�*s governor warned the number could rise. president biden has declared the floods "a major disaster" — and there�*s a warning of more rain today. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowes, has the latest. catastrophic scenes in eastern kentucky, muddy waters as far as the eye can see. these narrow valleys are prone to flooding, but never this part. the rain was torrential. some areas in the mountainous region are still inaccessible. homes have been ripped apart and cars swept away in the mud. many people have seen everything they had destroyed. as well as their home and business, sandy tackett�*s family lost their three dogs in the fast—moving water.
10:39 am
i have never seen anything like this. the waters were just raging and it took so many buildings and stuff that we thought would never even flood. we had one that was a little tiny dog that we called little bridges. but it was so sweet, it was the sweetest dog ever. much of the devastation is still under water and there are fears that as the levels go down, more victims will be found in the debris. we do know of additional bodies that have been recovered but we cannot confirm those deaths at this time. we have hundreds of millions of dollars of damage, hundreds of people displaced, but we are moving and moving fast. the national guard has been brought in to help with the rescue operation, scouring the area for survivors and delivering much needed supplies. a state of emergency here means that there are extra funds from the us government and heavy equipment to deal with the clean—up.
10:40 am
urban search and rescue teams have been deployed to the region from out of state. i don�*t know that it�*s people at their worst, but in their worst situations and we are able to provide assistance to them and provide reassurance and help them and the appreciation that you see from those people is the thing that keeps us doing this. this is the second major disaster to strike kentucky in seven months. nearly 80 people died in a series of tornadoes in the western part of the state last december. climate change has been blamed for this catastrophe. it will take years for these communities to rebuild and recover, but the immediate danger is far from over with more rain forecast for the next few days. peter bowes, bbc news. a mortgage affordability test has been scrapped by the bank of england from today. the test meant lenders had to work out whether potential borrowers could cope if interest rates climbed by up to 3%.
10:41 am
lenders will still use some form of testing, but it will be up to them how they do it. our business correspondent colletta smithjoins me. welcome to you. what changes are being made and how will it work? en being made and how will it work? el 2014, after the big financial crash which was in large part caused by problems in the mortgage market both here and in the united states, the bank of england introduced a whole extra level or couple of different levels of tests for people who are applying for a mortgage and one of those tests is being relaxed by the bank of england today. as you say, it is a kind of stress tests to check that if bank of england interest rates were to go up, that people would still be able to afford to pay back their mortgage. there is still another cheque called the loan to value check which is basically
10:42 am
the amount you are borrowing needs to be... you need to be able to pay back significantly more than that, you need to be earning significantly more than that in order for given a mortgage in the first place. this is not a sudden free for all for today but it shows the bank of england wants to relax the rules to make it slightly easier for people to get a mortgage, whether it is a first a mortgage, whether it is a first a mortgage or a remortgage for somebody. 0bviously, they have done a lot of work in the background of this, the bank of england believe it will not increase debt to a worrying level, it is not going to pose problems in the future but there are people who are concerned about this move, they say potentially if they continue to increase interest rates like we have seen over the last couple of months, this could mean that people are borrowing slightly beyond what they can afford or what they could afford if the bank continued to push those rates up. there are some who are concerned about the bank of england is saying it has baby steps back into a less
10:43 am
regulated market and something the economy can withstand at the moment. what about people applying for mortgages? what difference will be c? ., , , ., mortgages? what difference will be c? probably nothing immediately because this _ c? probably nothing immediately because this is _ c? probably nothing immediately because this is the _ c? probably nothing immediately because this is the bank - c? probably nothing immediately because this is the bank of - c? probably nothing immediately l because this is the bank of england relaxing their rules, it is up to individual mortgage lenders to decide what they want to do to change their own lending criteria, they could change it immediately from today but the likelihood is that it will be over the next weeks and months we see changes taking place. we have always seen banks having tighter restrictions on mortgages and building societies and mortgages and building societies and mortgage brokers can get slightly different deals to a bank who might say no to someone immediately. it is often people who are freelance, people who are who have difficulty getting a mortgage and proving that stress test, it may be that some of those individuals may well be able to get a mortgage who have not been
10:44 am
able to up until now, particularly if they have got substantial savings and deposit and are able to pass that other case, the loan to value test. it may be a lot more individuals will be able to get a mortgage but it is not going to be today, from this morning, it will be gradual over the coming weeks and months. the american actress, nichelle nichols, best known for playing lieutenant uhura in the original 1960s series of star trek has died at the age of 89. her role was trailblazing — she was one of the first black actresses on american tv to play an authority figure. lizo mzimba looks back at her life and career. lieutenant uhura was the starship enterprise�*s communications officer. confident, charismatic, calm under pressure. hailing frequencies open, sir. hailing frequencies open. hailing frequencies open, sir. conscious, too, of some of the limitations of the role.
10:45 am
mr spock, sometimes i think if i hear that word frequency once more, i will cry. nichelle nichols�*s background was in musical theatre, a talent this show occasionally exploited. she sings her character on star trek was ground—breaking in many ways. the show broadcast one of television�*s first interracial kisses. mr spock, i haven�*t done anything like this in years. but perhaps more significant was seeing notjust a woman, but a black woman playing such a prominent role. i can think of no—one that are equipped to handle it, miss uhura. indeed, when she was considering leaving the show, she was persuaded to stay. i�*m afraid i changed my mind. after being introduced to martin luther king. when i told him i was leaving the show, he said, how can you leave? there is a door open here that you cannot allow to close
10:46 am
because you have the first non—stereotypical role in television and the world is looking. hi, i�*m nichelle nichols but i still feel a little bit like lieutenant uhura on starship enterprise. even after star trek, she continued to inspire subsequent generations, taking part in several nasa initiatives to encourage women and people from ethnic minorities to join the space programme. for her, it was a lifelong mission. have you lost all your sense of reality? she returned to star trek when it took to the cinema screen, having lost none of her character�*s determination. the old adrenaline going? get in the closet. star trek hoped to portray a future where prejudice had faded away. nichelle nichols played a huge part in bringing that future a step closer.
10:47 am
the actor nichelle nichols who�*s died at the age of 89 — and nasa described her as a "trailblazer and role model" who "inspired generations to reach for the stars". it has been almost year since the taliban swept across afghanistan and took the capital kabul. with the country falling into the hands of the militant group, the lives of millions of women including tv presenter shabhnam dawran changed overnight. shabham was evacuated to the uk when a video she made about the taliban threatening her went viral on social media. here she is speaking to the bbc�*s sodaba haidare about fleeing afghanistan and finding a new life in the uk. translation: | never thought | i would leave my country of birth and go to another country where i am not familiar with the language, culture, traditions, the people and environment and the law. but when you are helpless, you accept anything. this is tv presenter, shabnam dawram, speaking
10:48 am
to me back in march. the 24—year—old and her siblings were evacuated from afghanistan last august and have been living in the uk for the past seven months. before the taliban takeover, shabnam presented flagship news programmes on channels like tolo news and rta. but after the fall of kabul, when she returned to work, she was threatened by taliban militants who stood guard outside her office, only allowing male workers to enter the building. translation: | said it's my right. to work and you cannot take it away. he pointed his gun at me, put his finger on the trigger and said, one bullet will be enough for you. will you leave or should i shoot you here? shabnam made a video about this encounter which went viral on social media and put her life in danger. she had to flee the country.
10:49 am
translation: when we came here, i felt like i lost the six _ years i had worked. now i had to learn english and go to university. 0n the first days, we would find it very difficult to even go shopping. if we needed some essentials, we couldn�*t even express what we wanted. it was difficult and painful. up until march, like thousands of other afghan refugees, shabnam was living in a hotel, but was getting ready to move into a permanent house. shabnam is one of the 6,000 afghans who have been given permanent homes, though many others are still in temporary accommodation. this is the day the family moved into their new place. translation: i feel like we have just started our life here. - look, they have got us everything we need. should i make you a chickpea soup? i am really happy in our new house. i already feel relaxed.
10:50 am
a few months later, i come back to catch up with shabnam. she has now been living in the uk for almost a year and is having a picnic in the park with her two younger siblings. i want to see how she is getting on with her new life. translation: we feel welcomed in britain. i we have had a lot of support from the day we came here. after trying for a while, we are slowly, slowly returning back to normal life. we are studying, we have got a house and responsibilities, so it is better and we are starting to feel relaxed. back in afghanistan, the taliban have imposed a series of harsh edicts on women, ordering tv presenters to cover their faces is one of them. translation: the women they have imposed these l restrictions on are already well—known to afghans. people have seen their faces, so what is the point of forcing them to cover their faces now?
10:51 am
until the taliban don�*t change their way of thinking and think like humans, they will not bring a positive change into society with their actions. would you ever go back to afghanistan? translation: yes, definitely. it is my place of birth, and i want to return one day. but, first, i want to accomplish all the dreams i couldn�*t accomplish in afghanistan. i want to go to journalism school and become a skilled journalist. and through this, i want to be the voice of my people. friends, family and fans of �*the wanted�* singer tom parker gathered in his home town of bolton this weekend — to take part in a charity walk to mark the star�*s 34th birthday. tom died in march from a brain tumour and the money raised will be donated to the organisation that supported him, when he was first diagnosed. abi smitton has more.
10:52 am

10:53 am
so, yeah, he was a genuine guy and, considering his status, had time for everyone. and here we are and everyone has turned up to this to show their support and love, really. bolton born and bred, tom left an impression on those he met from very early on. i met his parents and his family and knew them going right the way through school. and i taught lewis, his brother, as well. so i feel part of the community that we would like to pay our respects. really good fun. a bit of a pain in the neck- in the classroom, but that was him and all the fun that he did. the wanted�*s success saw them gather fans from around the world. some of them made the journey to bolton to remember him. he always had time for you and always made the effort. he was incredible, he really was. it is very bittersweet to be in his home town and the reason we are doing this walk, but it is just so lovely to see
10:54 am
everyone come out for it, and everyone to be raising awareness and showing support for the family. two of his bandmates also took part to remember theirfriend and thank theirfans for their unwavering support. they have always been really loyal and it�*s just a testament to tom and itjust shows how much love there still is for him. and we all miss him a lot. the walk passed through places that were special to tom and his family, including his school and church. it finished at the swan pub... we did it! ..where his music career first took off after winning a karaoke competition at the age of 16. i did have a little chat with tom — do you want to sort this weather out? and it has turned out glorious so yeah, it�*s been fantastic. so many people turned out, i can�*t believe it, really. yeah, it�*s been amazing. the only way to finish, following in tom�*s footsteps, with a spot of karaoke at the swan. first to take the microphone, his dad, nigel. # and ijust can�*t help believing... #
10:55 am
an emotional but special day to celebrate the life of tom parker, who meant so much to so many people in bolton and beyond. abi smitton, bbc news. some remarkable pictures now of space junk falling to earth. these images of light trails in the sky are thought to be the space debris from the long march 5 re—entering earth�*s atmoshphere. the rocket was launched into space last sunday. china�*s space agency said most of its remains burnt in the atmosphere, identifying the sulu sea in the pacific as the re—entry location. let me just take you to trafalgar square in central london where fans are gathering for a celebration of last night�*s victory by england�*s women footballers. they beat germany 2—1 at wembley stadium. up to 7,000 supporters will have the opportunity to join the team at an event hosted by ex—player alex scott.
10:56 am
plenty more coverage live from trafalgar square here on bbc news. hello again. some of us started off with some blue skies, whilst others had a fair bit of cloud and some showers this morning. but a lot of that will melt away and many of us will have a dry day until this clutch of fronts arrive in from the west, introducing thicker clouds, some rain and strengthening winds. now the cloud in the east will break. lastly across east anglia and the southeast, where we could still catch the odd shower even into the afternoon for a time. but of dry weather, the cloud thickens. then in comes the rain and the strengthening winds. temperatures today in the sunshine across northeast scotland could get up to 20 celsius. but we�*re looking at top temperatures, 26 to 27 in the southeast and it should stay dry for the commonwealth games today, again with variable amounts of cloud and also some sunny spells, light breezes, highs of 24 or 25 degrees into the evening.
10:57 am
then although we start off in a dry note, it won�*t be long until the rain rattles from the west towards the east. this is a weather front draped behind it across england and also wales, still producing some showery outbreaks of rain breezy night with overnight lows 10 to 18 degrees. so it will feel muggy for many of us. we start tomorrow, then still with this weather front draped across parts of england and wales, producing some showers, it slowly moves southwards but doesn�*t get into the far southeast where it will remain dry. we are looking at sunshine for scotland and northern ireland with just a few showers across the north, in the west, but note the wind direction. it�*s going to be coming from a south westerly direction, which is a warm one for us. so once again, it�*s going to be muggy with temperatures 24 in aberdeen, 23 in birmingham and 27 in london as we head from tuesday into wednesday. our weather front still with us
10:58 am
in the far southeast, slowly moving south, the isobars are telling you it�*s going to be a windy day. and we also have another weather front bringing in some showery rain across the northwest which will push eastwards through the day. we still have the dregs of this front producing some cloud, but a lot of dry weather. highs of 28 degrees, still muggy in the south, but the wind changes tomorrow for north westerly in the north. so here it will feel fresher. and then as we head in towards the weekend, you can see the yellows replacing the ambers on the charts. so eventually for all of us, it will be a little bit less muggy than it has been. and thursday and friday themselves looking largely dry with highs of 26.

a delirious wembley held its collective breath until the final whistle. it felt like an age. it�*s all over! but, finally, the moment a nation had been waiting for arrived. european champions for the very first time. it doesn't seem real. i'm absolutely buzzing my head off. best day of my life. i can't even explain what it feels like. just look what it means to the players and what it means to the fans. for the generations that came before them and for the generations that will come after them. it�*s impossible to overstate the impact of this win. the legacy of this tournament is the change in society, it is everything that we have done. we have brought everybody together, we have got people at games. the legacy of this team and that is the start of the journey. as the players celebrated, there was a moment of reflection for the first coach in history to win the euros with
11:06 am
two different teams. i�*m kissing this little armband that was my sister�*s and my sister passed away during our prep camps. and i really miss, because she was my mate. but i think she was here, i think she was on the crossbar. she would have been here. she went to every game. she would be really, really proud of me and i am really proud of her, too. the queen told the players their success goes beyond this trophy. the lionesses have set an example to the nation. nevertheless, there�*s a new name in the history books and it belongs to the hosts on the night football finally came home. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. sanchia berg is outside the team�*s hotel in teddington, southwest london. is there any sign of them this morning? i gather they were out partying till 4am. morning? i gather they were out partying till llam-—

11:20 am
which many countries rely on. before the war, 12% of global wheat exports came from ukraine. some countries in africa and the middle east, are being hit hard. libya relies on ukraine for over half its wheat. and lebanon, where the first shipment is headed towards, around 60%. let�*s speak to our correspondent james waterhouse. james, it�*s a really small amount in terms of the total quantity of grain sitting there to be shipped out, but a very significant moment. we have to bear in mind that, since the 24th of february, when russia launched this invasion and effectively shut the black sea, vessels in the 0desa region, as well as the crews who work those ships have basically been even stockier, called up to fight or forced to
11:21 am
escape the country, so this represents a very significant moment. you�*re also right to point out that this is scratching the surface of what is going to be required for the supply route to once again be fully reopened, to help ukraine�*s damaged economy, but also for those poorer countries to benefit, who are ukraine�*s biggest grain customers. the vessel is about 50 kilometres out to sea. it has made it round and is now travelling down that planned route, but while it is a welcome sight, i don�*t think anyone is getting carried away, because it is difficult to understate just how fragile this whole operation is. james, thank you. ballot papers will be delivered to conservative party members today, as they prepare to cast their vote on who they want to be the next party leader and prime minister. the final two candidates — rishi sunak and liz truss — have clashed over their differing policies on tax.
11:22 am
former chancellor mr sunak has unveiled a new pitch to party members calling for a 4% reduction in income tax by the end of the next parliament whereas foreign secretary liz truss wants to cut tax immediately. we can cross to westminster and our political correspondent jonathan blake. it has kind of given people pause for thought this morning, hearing the line that rishi sunak is thinking of cutting taxes, because previously that was quite a big distinction. what is going on? the difference is that rishi sunak is promising to cut taxes in the future, whereas liz truss is promising to cut them pretty much immediately, as soon as she takes office. what we heard from rishi sunak today is a promise to reduce income tax over time, going ahead with a 1p in the pound reduction in the basic rate in 2024, as already planned, but then reducing it further, to 16p in the pound by the end of the next

parliament, which could be as late as 2029. rishi sunak described this as 2029. rishi sunak described this as a radical but realistic promise, and something that is in line with his approach to getting inflation under control first, before taking other measures to cut taxes. contrast that with his rival, liz truss, who has promised a raft of tax cuts immediately as she takes office, which is what you have her campaign accusing rishi sunak now of a u—turn, saying he is flip—flopping, and that while he will promised tax cuts in seven years, she will bring them forward within seven weeks. rishi sunak, for his part, has denied this is a departure from his campaign strategy to date and defended the move to cut income tax this morning. now, the last week or so of this contest, we�*ve been focused on the here and now, about how best to fight inflation, and i think everyone knows where we stand on that, and we have different points of view, but as chancellor, i was very keen
11:24 am
to make sure that i started cutting taxes, and what i�*ve announced today builds on that, and that�*s because i believe in rewarding work. and the best way for the government to signal that is to cut people�*s income tax, and in this parliament, as chancellor, i said we were going to cut income tax for the first time in almost 15 years, and as prime minister i want to go further than that and cut income tax at the basic rate by a fifth, to 16p, but i want to do that in a way that�*s responsible. i want to make sure that we can pay for it, i want to make sure that we can do it alongside growing the economy, so that�*s the vision that i have, and i think it�*s right that people know where i want to take the economy, but it�*s entirely different to doing things right now that would make the situation far worse and endanger people�*s mortgages, which is not something i want to do. rishi sunak, then, defending this policy against criticism coming his way that this is a panic move to shore up support. he is saying there that it shore up support. he is saying there thatitis shore up support. he is saying there that it is about the specifics of what he would do in the future,
11:25 am
though it does rely, in terms of funding, this tax cut, on predicted economic growth happening as set out in forecasts by the office for budgetary responsibility, and that, we know, isn�*t necessarily always the case. this is one issue on which conservative party members will be making up their minds as they begin voting for their new leader. ballot papers are now being posted to those 160,000 or so conservative party members across the uk, and they have to vote by post or online until the 2nd of september, when the polls close, and we will find out the winner a few days later. political leaders willjoin the family and friends of david trimble at his funeral service today. the former ulster unionist party leader — who was one of the key architects of the good friday agreement — died last week aged 77. prime minister borisjohnson will be among the mourners, along with the republic of ireland�*s president and taoiseach. this 0ur ireland correspondent chris page is there,
11:26 am
in lisburn in country antrim. . chris, obviously, obviouslya time for the family and closest friends, but because of his position and his place in history, some very important people there also. that�*s right. mourners are beginning to arrive here at this church, this presbyterian church in lisbon, where lord crymble had been a memberfor many years, and they will be reflecting on the life of one of the most significant political leaders ever to come from this part of the uk. as you have said, seniorfigures from the british and irish governments will be here — the prime minister, the first night, the irish president — and we have seen senior politicians from the northern ireland parties arriving here, people from lord crymble�*s from a party, and the four... there have
11:27 am
been many reflections on his career. in many ways, it had paradoxes. he came in as altar unionist leader with a reputation as something of a hardliner, yet he led unionism into a historic compromise, sharing power with irish republicans. he was a shy man by nature but ended up on the international stage as a nobel peace prize winner. he was ultimately punished at the polls here in northern ireland. looking at the funeral service, the order of which hasjust been funeral service, the order of which has just been published funeral service, the order of which hasjust been published here, it is clear that we will also see more than a glimpse of david crymble the family man. mourners will be led by his wife, daphne, and his four children, so we can expect to about his years in county down, and at the remarkable politicaljourney. he was
11:28 am
one of the leaders who crafted the good friday agreement, the peace deal that ended almost 30 years of violence here in northern ireland. the many tributes that have been coming in across the world over the last seven days from the likes of bill clinton, the us president who was involved in negotiating the good friday agreement, representatives of the un, governments across the globe. 0ne the un, governments across the globe. one of the most profound, i think, came from the current leader of the ulster unionist party, who noted that there are many people alive here in northern ireland today because of the work that david crymble did in coming up with that peace agreement that ultimately meant that northern ireland is a much more peaceful place it was when lord crymble started his political journey. adam peaty has been back
11:29 am
in the pool this morning after saying he was heartbroken to lose his 100m breakstroke commonwealth title last night. james wilby took the gold ahead of peaty. his next chance for a medal is in the 50 metres. he qualified from his heat this morning. this event he hasn�*t actually won the gold in before and has been recovering from a broken foot in the build—up to the games. i have been doing them all my life. i have been doing them all my life. i am not going to get complacent. i am going to really soak up this crowd, then after this 50 tomorrow hopefully, i�*m going to take a long break and completely reset. england are through to the final
11:30 am
of the men�*s bowls triples, beating wales at leamington spa�*s victoria park this morning. it was a comprehensive 15—5 victory too. the team of louis rideout, nick brett and james chestney will face australia in the final. in the table tennis, wales women lost 3—0 to australia in the team event. jian fang lay won the final singles match 3—0 against carlotte carey to complete a dominant win. it�*s taken three games, but wales women have their first victory in the hockey. they beat ghana 4—0 in their pool a match, with beth bingham rounding off the scoring on her 100th appearance for wales. lots of action well underway around birmingham right now. staying with hockey, and scotland�*s women are taking on kenya right now. they face one of the favourites, australia, on wednesday so hoping
11:31 am
to build some momentum. scotla nd scotland are leading 6—0. they are in the second quarter at the moment over at the university of birmingham. at the badminton, it�*s the mixed team semifinals. england are facing much—fancied malaysia. this is one of the many streams you can find live on the bbc iplayer or the bbc sport website. coverage from here in birmingham also on bbc one, from we go to the squares of birmingham to trafalgar square in london at about 12:30pm. one major sports line away from birmingham, in formula one, fernando alonso willjoin aston martin next season, replacing the retiring sebastian vettel. the two—time world champion will leave alpine, where he�*s been for the last two seasons. alonso described aston martin as one of the most exciting teams in formula one, despite not being frontrunners.
11:32 am
he is expected to be replaced at alpine by formula two champion 0scar piastri. that is all the sport for now, but there will be lots of sport from birmingham throughout the day. we will have one eye on here, and the other on trafalgar square. more now on our top story the lionesses�* victory in the euros last night. england�*s win in the final was the most—watched tv moment of the year so far, and the most—watched women�*s match of all time. it shows there�*s potentially a huge tv audience for women�*s football. so will money now flow into the game? we can speak now to david kogan. he�*s had many years negotiating tv rights, including the sale of tv rights for the women�*s super league, the top league for women�*s football in england.
11:33 am
he is also negotiating the qualifiers for next year? world cup for england next year. put it into context though, initially. you have done everything that there is in terms of rights negotiations going back over your career. at a certain point there was suddenly this light shone on the fact that the woman�*s rights were effectively being given away. can you talk about how much value there was another rights in what was going on with women? in all what was going on with women? in all sort ou what was going on with women? in all sport you get — what was going on with women? in all sport you get these — what was going on with women? in all sport you get these tipping point moments. when the premier league was created as a vehicle for the top clubs in men�*s sport to sell the rights 30 years ago, that was a tipping point moment. two or three years ago you had the fa take a decision, which was pretty bold at the time, to segregate the sale of woman�*s media rights from men. suddenly you had a stand—alone proposition that people like me can
11:34 am
take to market. we can identify the wsl as being a real product, a board was created there within the fa. we were able to take the lionesses home games over the next two years, take them to market. for the first time you had something tangible to sell. the real breakthrough there was that there was quite a detailed auction process and the winner that came out of that were first of that refers to both the bbc, who amazingly agreed to put woman�*s super league games on bbc one and bbc two on a regular slot on sunday afternoon. that is the first time any football league in this country has been broadcast live regularly on bbc one and bbc two. in live regularly on bbc one and bbc two. . live regularly on bbc one and bbc two. , ., ., , ., ., , two. in terms of the money, how does that compare — two. in terms of the money, how does that compare with _ two. in terms of the money, how does that compare with the _ two. in terms of the money, how does that compare with the men's? - two. in terms of the money, how does that compare with the men's? sky - that compare with the men's? sky then that compare with the men's? 5«i: then agreed that compare with the men's? 5«j: then agreed to put on a that compare with the men's? 5«j then agreed to put on a substantial number of games, and sky tends to be
11:35 am
the much bigger payout than free to air. itv then bought the rights to the lionesses. the consolidated value of all of those deals was the biggest media rights deal done in woman�*s football in any lake anywhere in the world, but... buts! compared to the men�*s, the last premier league deal was 4.5 billion. compared to the football league, the scottish premier league, women�*s super league is fourth in the pecking order and there is a lot of work to do. the real question based on what we saw last night, the extraordinary enthusiasm for woman�*s football, is out of the clubs in the women�*s super league now develop it. how does chelsea take a woman�*s team and really develop and invest in it. how did do broadcasters start investing more money into developing their coverage of the game. you mentioned _ their coverage of the game. you mentioned the _ their coverage of the game. you mentioned the tipping point in men's
11:36 am
mentioned the tipping point in men�*s football 30 years ago, is this the tipping point for woman�*s football? it could be, but it�*s not certain. the degree of investment that has gone into the woman�*s game is nothing like it was even in the men�*s game 20 or 30 years ago. the question now facing the fa and the teams, you have this national team with incredible exposure, an incredible brand, will they do the same for the individual club teams. that is putting more and more games into the primary state here, not the secretary of state. it is about having real support and marketing to get people into see the matches, then the broadcasters and sponsors will fluctuate. the next tale will be the real moment whether there will be exponential growth or not. there are three things that are happening. first of all, the world cup next year in australia and new zealand, which for the uk is not the best time zone in which to watch
11:37 am
football. fifa will sell those rights. if you selling the woman�*s champions league, the money are starting to comment, but for a fee fault that would be a big deal. for us in the uk, the next around the super league and the lionesses will be the big deal that will take us the level we are at at the moment or three, four, five times as much, but it needs to keep that forward momentum going, which the national team have really developed by themselves.— team have really developed by themselves. j ., , ., ., themselves. around 4 billion from themselves. around 4 billion from the premier— themselves. around 4 billion from the premier league. _ themselves. around 4 billion from the premier league. i— themselves. around 4 billion from the premier league. i am - themselves. around 4 billion from the premier league. i am not- themselves. around 4 billion from i the premier league. i am not sure... it is in the premier league. i am not sure... it is in the — the premier league. i am not sure... it is in the low _ the premier league. i am not sure... it is in the low millions? _ the premier league. i am not sure... it is in the low millions? the - the premier league. i am not sure... it is in the low millions? the low- it is in the low millions? the low millions. low— it is in the low millions? the low millions. low to _ it is in the low millions? the low millions. low to high _ it is in the low millions? the low millions. low to high millions. i millions. low to high millions. there is a long way to go. but remember, it came from pretty much a standing start. we took rights that had no value attributed to them and took them to a much higher level. the next one is the big leap, we hope. it the next one is the big leap, we ho -e. .

11:45 am
that will be another barrier for girls already. that barrier is already there for girls. cost, commitment, having places to play. the premier league said they will put money into grass roots football but they never did, and never will. it was all just to but they never did, and never will. it was alljust to get but they never did, and never will. it was all just to get them but they never did, and never will. it was alljust to get them to start a premier league. football clubs rape small girls of their kids, taken seven or eight—year—olds, who i know from my experience have no chance of making it, but they take them because they need the numbers. it's them because they need the numbers. it�*s like anything else, football is a team game, unfortunately. i am auoin to a team game, unfortunately. i am going to interrupt _ a team game, unfortunately. i am going to interrupt you, _ a team game, unfortunately. i am going to interrupt you, because we love our life in trafalgar square. thank you so much forjoining us in giving us your perspective.

into custody charged with murdering nine—year—old lilia valutyte in boston in lincolnshire. deividas skebas, 22, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during a short hearing at lincoln magistrates�* court on monday morning. 0ur reporter navtej johal spoke to us from outside the court a littler while earlier. it was a very brief appearance this morning from deividas skebas. he appeared just after ten o�*clock, confirmed his name, age and address before the case was sent to lincoln crown court, which is where he will appear later this afternoon at around two o�*clock. this is in relation to the death of lilia valutyte, he was found with a stab wounds on thursday evening by police. deividas skebas has been charged with her murder and will appear at lincoln crown court at two o�*clock this afternoon. this case has had a huge impact on the community in boston. the town centre
11:48 am
where she was fine, she was reportedly playing with her sister outside an embroidery shop where her mother was working nearby. this case has prompted a huge reaction from the local community. there have been candles lit in her memory all weekend, dozens of flowers late near the scene. the police cordoned off the scene. the police cordoned off the lane where she was found all weekend. the response has been huge. police described the sender most recent release as a heartbreaking case that has affected many people in boston. deividas skebas, alliteration —— at lithuanian national, will be at lincoln crown court at two o�*clock. a mortgage affordability test has been scrapped by the bank of england from today. the test meant lenders had to work out whether potential borrowers could cope if interest rates climbed by up to 3%. lenders will still use some form of testing, but it will be up to them how
11:49 am
they do it. our business correspondent colletta smithjoins me. why is this being scrapped? the bank of england have decided to change the rules that they implemented themselves in 2014. the implemented pretty strict mortgage criteria after the huge global financial crash, triggered by mortgage problems both here in the uk and, more importantly probably come in the united states. that triggered the united states. that triggered the whole of the financial crash and the whole of the financial crash and the bank of england was making sure that wouldn�*t happen again by putting in layers of protection for both the whole economic system and individuals taking out mortgages. what they are doing today is relax on one of those roots, known as the stress test. all that happens is when a bank or a mortgage lender look so cute in it —— as an individual prospective mortgage holder, they look at the current bank of england in —— interest rates and see if you could continue to pay your mortgage back if it was to
11:50 am
rights by 3%, obviously significantly higher than the interest rates are at the moment. the banks say that by removing that criteria, it is not going to lead to financial problems, it will push people into debt, yet there are some people into debt, yet there are some people who are saying that it is particularly worrying, given that the bank of england are increasing their interest rates at the moment, given that interest rates are on the way up, that if individuals potentially could be paying that much higher rates quite soon, that some people may well be in difficulties because of that. the bank are sent there are still levels of protection are in place, that i dated you will still have to have a lot more in income thank you to have in your deposit, that that protection is still in place so it won�*t lead to a financial problem, but it could mean that some more individuals will be able to get a mortgage passed within the next

system. the bank are hoping that potentially more people will be passed for a mortgage result. it is notjust passed for a mortgage result. it is not just whether you passed for a mortgage result. it is notjust whether you can get hold of a mortgage that means whether you can get on the housing ladder, of course you still need to save significantly for a deposit and be able to get hold of a house, with rising house prices that is a much bigger pressure for a lot of people, so even if they are passed for the mortgage they may not be able to buy the house immediately because there are so few houses on the market. the court of appeal is due to begin hearing a last—minute virtual hearing in the case of archie battersbee, just hours before doctors are due to withdraw his life support. the 12—year—old was found unconscious at his home in southend nearly four months ago. doctors were planning to disconnect his ventilator at two o�*clock this afternoon afterjudges upheld their decision. now a united nations committee is asking the royal london hospital to keep treating archie while it examines the case.

12:12 pm
that they will do so as well, they will get the season tickets, fill the stadiums and watch their favourite teams and competitions on tv and on their screens as well, to follow this huge growth that we�*ve seenin follow this huge growth that we�*ve seen in the past month as well around the euros.— seen in the past month as well around the euros. there is still an enormous — around the euros. there is still an enormous gulf— around the euros. there is still an enormous gulf between _ around the euros. there is still an enormous gulf between the - around the euros. there is still an enormous gulf between the value | around the euros. there is still an i enormous gulf between the value of rights to men�*s football versus women�*s football, isn�*t there? rights to men's football versus women's football, isn't there? there is, there women's football, isn't there? there is. there is — women's football, isn't there? there is, there is still _ women's football, isn't there? there is, there is still that _ women's football, isn't there? there is, there is still that gap, _ women's football, isn't there? there is, there is still that gap, and - women's football, isn't there? there is, there is still that gap, and now. is, there is still that gap, and now it is closing down. again, we�*ve seen, you know, massive brand partnerships this summer which we haven�*t seen before, lucy bronze on soft drinks in supermarkets, on billboards as well, and that�*s what we are seeing now with bigger broadcast partnerships as well on uefa women�*s champions league and in
12:13 pm
the domestic leagues as well, like the domestic leagues as well, like the wsl, so it is certainly closing but there is a vast gap in the coverage which we have seen traditionally, which has been going on for decades, and that�*s what we are committed to tackle as well, to narrow the visibility and coverage gap between men�*s and women�*s football. and now we�*ve seen these brilliant numbers, over 17 million peak viewership on bbc, just like we�*ve seen over the past season of the women�*s champions league, and to put it into context how huge that number is, the season before that, even friends and family, lucy bronze said herself that her mum couldn�*t watch the games when she played at leon, and now we have 230 countries
12:14 pm
and territories tuning in, so that�*s the entire world. you need the coverage, you need to make these games available, you need to put in the promotion, the investment into marketing, and all—around coverage, the fact that we are talking about it now one prime time news is hugely important as well, so we need to give it all round coverage, notjust the 90 minutes itself, but all the coverage, and yes, this is when we can significantly grow it to the next level. white like there are huge numbers being talked about, and the audiences show there is clearly a real appetite. but the audiences show there is clearly a real appetite-— a real appetite. but there is still a real appetite. but there is still a really long _ a real appetite. but there is still a really long way _ a real appetite. but there is still a really long way to _ a real appetite. but there is still a really long way to go - a real appetite. but there is still a really long way to go for - a real appetite. but there is still a really long way to go for the l a really long way to go for the women�*s game to be anything like the men�*s game in terms of the infrastructure, the finances, because it is just not there at

grass roots, and it is still the case that a lot of girls simply cannot even play football at school. yes, of course. we all have a huge part to play in the entire ecosystem, from grassroots to federations to clubs to broadcasters, news outlets and publishers — we all have to do and put in the work. like, we can�*tjust sit back now and see this is brilliant and working. this is a crucial, significant moment, and how do we translate and bridge this over. as i mentioned before. we have seen some select spikes, go coverage is around the women�*s world cup or the euros now, but what is really important now is to keep that consistency, week in week out, going to the stadiums, getting the team jersey, watching the games on screen, engaging with social media,
12:16 pm
getting the more sponsors in and getting the more sponsors in and getting behind these incredible athletes and players, and this fantastic game, which the euros was just a beautiful showcase of that. i am still high on adrenaline from last night and being amongst those 87,000 people. you last night and being amongst those 87.000 people-— last night and being amongst those 87,000 --eole. ., ., j~ 11:11: 87,000 people. you and those 87000 and millions and _ 87,000 people. you and those 87000 and millions and billions _ 87,000 people. you and those 87000 and millions and billions more - 87,000 people. you and those 87000 and millions and billions more as - and millions and billions more as well. thank you very much for joining us, and 7000 are in trafalgar square, where the team are going to be in a little while. the mayor of london is currently addressing the crowd there, as the build—up begins to greeting the team, along with the trophy. and look at that — those people in that square were able just to queue up this morning, first come first served, 7000 tickets handed out, so we will be back there, of course,

12:26 pm
universally hailed over the last seven days as a peacemaker. he was one of the key architects of the good friday agreement, the peace deal which largely ended 30 years of violence here, and many people have said that if it were not for his determination to lead his party, designed that deal and generate support for it within unionism, that agreement would never have happened, and again, some people have noted that were it not for david trimble cosmic vision, more people would have died through political violence here. —— david trimble�*s vision... this is his legacy for this very trouble part of the uk, and also for his relatives who are now arriving at the church at time of deep personal sadness for them, of course, is a very public life is remembered.— course, is a very public life is remembered. ., ,, , ., , . remembered. thank you very much, chris.

a mortgage affordability test has been scrapped by the bank of england from today. the test meant lenders had to work out whether potential borrowers could cope if interest rates climbed by up to 3 per cent. lenders will still use some form of testing but it will be up to them how they do it. i�*m joined now by property expert and presenter, topsy taiwo. have i said that right? you said it absolutely perfect.— absolutely perfect. good! i didn't have a chance _ absolutely perfect. good! i didn't have a chance to _ absolutely perfect. good! i didn't have a chance to check— absolutely perfect. good! i didn't have a chance to check before i absolutely perfect. good! i didn't| have a chance to check before we came to you. is have a chance to check before we came to you-— have a chance to check before we came to ou. , , ., came to you. is this the right move? i think a came to you. is this the right move? i think a lot — came to you. is this the right move? i think a lot of— came to you. is this the right move? i think a lot of people _ came to you. is this the right move? i think a lot of people are _ came to you. is this the right move? i think a lot of people are scared - i think a lot of people are scared by what the government has done, but as you rightly said, there are tests that still remain, most notably the loan to income ratio which capped the ability for borrowers to borrow about 4.5 times their income, a more stringent test and the stress test that was in place beforehand. but doubfinu that was in place beforehand. but doubling up isn't necessarily a doubling up isn�*t necessarily a problem, is it? has there been a drive to get rid of this? i mean, there is obviously context. what is
12:28 pm
the context?— the context? absolutely, this mortgage _ the context? absolutely, this mortgage affordability - the context? absolutely, this mortgage affordability stress | the context? absolutely, this - mortgage affordability stress test was introduced in the aftermath of the financial crisis to ensure that lenders were being more responsible. since then, we have seen that interest rates at the standard variable rate are much higher, so the stress test of that plus 3% is unlikely to come to fruition because most people are on fixed mortgages and tend to go to another fixed mortgage when their initial fixed period ends, so i do think it can come across as a scabby measure which might make you think people are going to stop borrowing more money up not being able to afford their properties, but the loan to income ratio of 4.5 times your income ratio of 4.5 times your income is way more important than the other stress test that was in place beforehand.— the other stress test that was in place beforehand. what is happening with the market _ place beforehand. what is happening with the market right _ place beforehand. what is happening with the market right now? - place beforehand. what is happening with the market right now? so, - place beforehand. what is happening with the market right now? so, the l with the market right now? so, the market has — with the market right now? so, the market has been _ with the market right now? so, the market has been increasing - market has been increasing incredibly over the last couple of years as people have seen house prices go up 10% year—on—year. i do think this is coming at the right
12:29 pm
time, where prices are starting to slump a little, so this is coming in at a time where the price you will pay for a house isn�*t going to be as bad as what you might have seen two or three years ago, but the market has been really good, but i think this is coming in at the right time. still, though, people are finding themselves having to borrow huge amounts of money to get on the property ladderjust because prices have gone up so much. absolutely. ultimately. — have gone up so much. absolutely. ultimately. i— have gone up so much. absolutely. ultimately, i think _ have gone up so much. absolutely. ultimately, i think what _ have gone up so much. absolutely. ultimately, i think what needs - have gone up so much. absolutely. ultimately, i think what needs to l have gone up so much. absolutely. | ultimately, i think what needs to be done is that more houses need to be built, more government measures need to be put in place, but the unfortunate truth is that there was a massive shortage of supply and the huge amount of demand, irrespective of what gets done, i think the government needs to come up with more creative measures to ensure there will be more housing available for first—time buyers especially to get onto the property ladder, because as you rightly said, it is mainly the deposit and the income thatis mainly the deposit and the income that is the issue, so when house prices start to increase by 10% year—on—year, it is quite scary, so i think this is coming in at the right time because it will help some
12:30 pm
people, and those who are self—employed, who have more hoops to jump through, whereas self—employed, who have more hoops tojump through, whereas now self—employed, who have more hoops to jump through, whereas now they will be able to get on the ladder with a bit more ease. i think it�*s really important for anyone taking on this mortgage to absolutely be clear that they need to have a contingency plan in place if rates are to increase to a huge amount, because on the 4th of august we might see another rate rise. thank ou, aood might see another rate rise. thank you. good to _ might see another rate rise. thank you. good to talk _ might see another rate rise. thank you, good to talk to _ might see another rate rise. thank you, good to talk to you. - let�*s get more now on that historic football final last night. in the next few minutes, a special celebration will take place at trafalgar square in central london for the england womens�* team, but before that, earlier we spoke to ellie wilson, who plays for sheffield united and was at the final last night and explained what it was like. from start to finish, to be honest, there were fans everywhere from three to four hours prior to kick—off. the atmosphere in the stadium was just electric. it was very tense, to be honest, as well, because of the nature of the game! i couldn�*t sit still. yeah, it was amazing. ellie, i actually spoke to you last week after we won the semis and looking ahead to the finals you were fairly optimistic, but did you really, hand on heart,
12:31 pm
think that we would win? i thought we would definitely get to the final and i thought, yes, i do have a feeling that it is going to come home because it is a home euros, there were just so many pieces of the puzzle it was just meant to be. that sounds really cheesy and cliched, but ijust thought there was no way we can lose this final. the girls would have known that themselves in the squad and, luckily, it was our day on the day, but, you know, we definitely took it as far as we could without it going to penalties! it was nerve—racking. so you are a defender for sheffield united. we�*ve been talking a lot this morning and hearing a lot about how this result is going to drastically change the face of women�*s football in this country. what do you think it is going to mean for you personally? yeah, i think we touched on a lot of the investment side of it and sponsorship, as well. the amount of interest that has come off the back of the tournament and the more groups of people being involved in wanting to see the games, wanting to attend them in person and tuning in online,
12:32 pm
things like that, i think that is all adding to the hype and the buzz around the game at the moment. from a business perspective, i am sure that it is something that people will want to jump on board and support, so hopefully that filters through into the barclays wsl and the barclays championship and it is just going to help grow our game even more. we will have a lot more support, hopefully, access to bigger stadiums and it should just filter through the whole football pyramid for the women�*s side, so it is exciting to think what this could do and i would expect attendances will probably be higher this season, particularly. and what about financially? do you see there will be a big uptick for people like you who play professionally? yeah, i think potentially, when there is more money involved in the game that can filter through to various different aspects of the club, to the players and things like that. i touched on it last time that we are a part—time outfit still, so a lot of us do still work alongside playing professional level football and that is a challenge in itself.
12:33 pm
i think we have seen, with the professionalism of the game, more and more teams are going full—time professional and that is the girl�*s full—time income, and as there is more interest across the board, more teams will be able to make that next move and make thatjump and become a fully professionalised outfit, so sheffield united, for example, i would expect that would be the next step at some point in the future, and there will be many clubs to follow, i would assume. we are about to cross to alex scott, who is in trafalgar square with thousands of fans, for a special bbc one programme celebrating the triumph of the england women�*s football team at the euros final last night, where they beat germany 2—1 at wembley stadium. i guess that is alex scott we just heard shouting, come on! 7,000 fans crowded into trafalgar square waiting for the arrival of the team,
12:34 pm
and also their manager. just listening in to see what she is saying. yes, we are waiting tojoin the coverage on bbc one. the team and their manager, as well, obviously, and for that manager, making history, the first manager in history to win back—to—back euros with two different nations after she also led the netherlands to glory in 2017, but right now it is the moment for england, that historic win last night. 56 years after england�*s men beat west germany in the 1966 world cup final. so, beat west germany in the 1966 world cupfinal. so, not long beat west germany in the 1966 world cup final. so, not long to go now. there will be many, many more watching at home, as happened last night, a huge tv audience of millionsjoining those
12:35 pm
night, a huge tv audience of millions joining those 87,000 who were packed into the stadium for that historic win. we willjoin alex scott now and that coverage live from trafalgar square. #my # my better side takes hold of me # my better side takes hold of me # i didn�*t want you to know # i didn�*t want you to know # then i guess i was scared # then i guess i was scared # feet don�*t fail me now # feet don�*t fail me now # i�*ve got to stand my ground # i�*ve got to stand my ground # my ground # my ground #i # my ground # i know who i am now... # i know who i am now... # my feet don�*t fail me now. # cheering and applause hello and welcome
