10:00 am
on your bike. greater manchester's vision looks like amsterdam, but the reality of the cycling masterplan isn't working for everyone. they're making it so difficult for people to actually carry on trade. and there's a few of us that are thinking about leaving manchester altogether. and as the isle of man looks at new laws, should we be able to choose how and when we die? you know they're going to die anyway. but for them to die in so much pain, it's horrendous watching it, not being able to do anything. a packed programme, then, as ever. and with us for the next half an hour or so are mike amesbury, the labour mp for weaver vale, as well as james daly, the conservative mp for bury north. first though, here's steve saul with some of the week's main talking points. trains have failed again.
10:01 am
schools in cheshire and tameside backed up a watchdog's report of classrooms across the country in disrepair. it's absolutely a disgrace and it's been going on since 2015. well, the climate change committee criticised plans for a new coal mine in cumbria and government's inaction on net zero. and we came to the conclusion that they've gone backwards from last year. the future of southport is in the balance because it could cost £30 million to repair. that's 10 million more than expected. we'll be talking to anybody who has got an interest in the care. the safety of prison inmates on the isle of man was called into question. you know, we are doing our due diligence and are confident that will be delivered. and the family of awaab ishak, who died after prolonged exposure to mould, were in westminster to back new laws on social housing conditions. well, let's start with something else from this week.
10:02 am
confirmation of boundary changes because the defence secretary, ben wallace, well, now that he's out of the running to take over at nato, he'll need a new constituency if he's wanting to stay in parliament. and that's because wyre and preston north, his current seat, is disappearing. also, you are competing for the new runcorn and helsby seat because where you currently sit, we know that is being dragged away from underneath you as well, isn't it? it's a runcorn and helsby county seat and the oversee is mid cheshire, which includes northwich and middlewich and winsford. fight it out with your labour colleagues. i've already been chosen for the runcorn and helsby county seat, so i'll be fighting it out with the opposition when the time comes. 0k. well, james, we saw that, didn't we? lord deben, the chair of the climate change committee, calling the new coal mine up in cumbria, that's been extremely controversial, in his words. it was total nonsense. he said the uk has lost its leadership on climate issues
10:03 am
and in the week as well we saw zac goldsmith, lord goldsmith resigning as the environment minister, saying that rishi sunak wasn't interested. live from london, this is bbc news. police are at the scene of a mass shooting in the us city of baltimore. there are reports of multiple fatalities. a fifth night of violent clashes in france with more than 700 arrests. seven new nhs gambling clinics are to open in england, almost doubling the current number. hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. police in baltimore say there has been a mass shooting incident in the city's southern district. live to the newsroom now for the very latest with nicky schiller. this detail only coming and it did last hour but baltimore police have said they are dealing here in lille, like many other places across france, this place has seen looting, fires and damage to public property. you can see behind me a building that was a health centre. about 35 people used to work here, mostly nurses and doctors. rioters came in in the middle of the night, set the place on fire and now it's completely destroyed.
10:04 am
nearby, a school was damaged by fire as well. and students at a separate school, children, they wrote a sign that they hung at the entrance of the building which says, please do not burn our schools. this gives you an idea that many people here where i am in northern france do not sympathise with the rioters. what they've said to us is these people are destroying their own communities and their own neighbourhoods. so the feeling is that this is just not the right way to demand justice for nahel. is there any sense of any kind of turning point here? clearly, the damage right behind you would suggest no, but the numbers of arrests and incidents are falling slightly from the other nights before. is there anything to read into that? i mean, the interior mminister said this morning that the rioting last
10:05 am
night was not as bad, as you said, and he thanked the police for being out in force again, more than 16,000 police officers have been deployed across france. we go live to baltimore at, a police press conference after this report of a mass shooting there. we just go to listen in as it's about to get under way. we see people walk up to the microphones and it looks like it is about to start. just the microphones and it looks like it is about to start.— is about to start. just after 12:30am — is about to start. just after 12:30am at _ is about to start. just after 12:30am at this _ is about to start. just after 12:30am at this morning, | is about to start. just after - 12:30am at this morning, officers received numerous calls for a shooting. upon officers' right away came across multiple gunshot wound victims. we located one female adult deceased. additional victims were transported from the location to

10:11 am

10:12 am
to take his own life. after his death, his wife annie got access to his account. there was just so much on there. ijust remember sitting there and scrolling, scrolling, scrolling and it was the same day and scrolling and seeing his transactions, it was so apparent at that point there was a major issue. how can someone make that many bets in one day? how can somebody do that and it not be picked up? they considered him a low risk. even having that information in front of them, they still considered him a low risk, so something is wrong. just under moo patients were referred for help with gambling addiction last year, that's nearly double the figure from two years ago. it's led to strong criticism of the industry and the head of nhs england, amanda pritchard, has raised her own concerns, saying, people can gamble on their phone at the touch of a button and everyone, young and old, is bombarded with adverts encouraging them to take part.
10:13 am
the solution, seven more specialist clinics. there are already eight running, including a national centre in london. the plan is to have space to treat 3000 people a year, offering cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy, support groups and aftercare. but there are calls for industry to act too. the nhs cannot and should not do this alone, so, absolutely, we've called on industry to act responsibly, stop some of the more pernicious and aggressive marketing techniques and unsolicited approaches to people. the government recently introduced proposals aimed at reducing the harms caused by problem gambling. today's announcement shows the nhs expects the numbers suffering to rise. the owner of twitter, elon musk, has limited the number of tweets
10:14 am
users can read in a day. he says unverified accounts are now limited to reading 1000 posts a day. for new, univerified accounts, it's 500. and for verified accounts — that you have to pay for — it's 10,000 posts a day. musk says the limits tackle what he says is extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation. nick waters is from bellingcat, an open—source investigative journalism organisation. we collect images, videos from events and use them to establish what has happened. so, basically, every significant physical event that takes place, something that is really extreme will create a digital ripple. and so what we do is we find that digital ripple — the images, the videos, the text posts — of events that have taken place and we use that to reconstruct that event. so, we use twitter quite a lot. twitter acts as the central node in an information network. you will have information coming in from various different sources, telegram, other social media,
10:15 am
news outlets, individuals, and what twitter does is it collects it into one place where you can look at it. so the impact is pretty significant and immediate. some people who i now have really had it affect them. it basically means that tracking events is going to be a lot harder. so, if you think that you week ago, where mr prigozhin marched on moscow with wagner, everyone was following where his column was and who was doing what by looking at twitter and are looking at the posts that people were bringing into twitter. during that they must have looked at many tens of thousands of posts, during that day, i must have looked at many tens of thousands of posts, whereas under the current rules i would have probably stopped at about kind of 9am in the morning. so it has a pretty significant impact that is hitting people now. yeah, it's going to have a pretty significant impact on people's ability to actually follow the news.
10:16 am
let's get some of the day's other news now. an environmental campaign group has accused the british energy company shell of trading russian gas more than a year after a pledge to pull out of the country. global witness says its analysis has found shell handled nearly an eighth of russia's liquified natural gas exports by sea last year and is still buying tankers laden with gas. shell says the shipments are part of long—term contracts it can't break. austria, which is not a nato member, has announced plans to join the european sky shield initiative to help to protect it from any drone or missile attacks. the chancellor said no european state could effectively defend its airspace against new dangers on its own. sri lanka has repatriated an elephant gifted by thailand, after the thai authorities complained it was being mistreated. the 29—year—old was presented by the thai royal family two decades ago but was demanded back following allegations
10:17 am
it was being tortured and neglected, at a buddhist temple in southern sri lanka. the four—tonne elephant was flown out of colombo airport on a specially chartered cargo plane, accompanied by handlers and vets. the remains of eight british hurricane fighter planes have been found buried in a forest in ukraine. they're from the time of world war two. the aircraft were sent to the soviet union by britain after nazi germany invaded the country in1941. here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. in a forest south of kyiv, down in an old riverbed, something unexpected. the remains of old aircraft hidden deep in the ground. each one british, to their rusty core. here you see the tail plane of hurricane mark ii. you heard that right.
10:18 am
this was once part of a hurricane fighter plane, one of thousands britain gave the soviet union during world war ii. this is a little slice of history, evidence of a moment when, 80 years ago, western powers gave warplanes to ukraine, just as they are today, to defend against an invading army. you think there might be a seventh? yes. and here, under this frame, there are eight. many of the hurricanes were destroyed fighting the invading german army, others were stripped for parts. but some, like these, were deliberately hidden down here. the hurricane may have been the workhorse of the battle of britain, shooting down more enemy aircraft than the spitfire, but many also saw action in the frozen wastes of the ussr. every plane made in britain. every plane paid for
10:19 am
by the united states. and that is why these heavy frames were dumped here after the war, so the soviets didn't have to pay the us back for any hurricanes left intact, as had been agreed. those who discovered the planes say they made a real difference. the hurricane was a strong, easy to fly machine. stable as a gun platform. suitable for not experienced pilots. and reliable aircraft. these may look like unremarkable bits of metal, but to the ukrainian aviation museum, they are symbols of british assistance that echoed down the years. it britain was the first to supply aircraft to the soviet union. now great britain is the first country which gives cruise missiles to our armed forces.
10:20 am
is history repeating itself? yes, of course. the museum hopes to find enough parts to reconstruct one entire hurricane to look, if not to fly, like this — as once they did over the skies of ukraine. in australia, rallies have taken place across the country advocating for the constitution to recognise the country's indigenous people, ahead of a referendum on the issue later this year. it will ask australians whether they support a change to the constitution to create a body which would make representations to parliament and the government relating to indigenous communities. polls suggest the vote, which is expected in october or november, has seen a recent dip in support. now let's take a look at what's
10:21 am
happening in uk politics. live now to the newsroom, with our correspondent tony bonsignore. the fallout from last week's nhs long—term workforce report continues and we have an anniversary of the health service here in the uk, a much loved institution and under huge amounts of pressure as health care systems are around the world. we heard this morning and approach out, she's the head of the nhs and she was talking about somebody pressures facing the nhs, both in the long term but in the short term as well. waiting this are going to come up before _ waiting this are going to come up before they go down but were still on track—
10:22 am
before they go down but were still on track to— before they go down but were still on track to produce the fastest change — on track to produce the fastest change to— on track to produce the fastest change to waiting times in our history— change to waiting times in our history but let's not an overnight thing _ and education also hitting the headlines?— headlines? there's a lots of posturing — headlines? there's a lots of posturing and _ headlines? there's a lots of posturing and manoeuvring| headlines? there's a lots of - posturing and manoeuvring going on at the moment politically, as you can imagine. labour's big push this weekend has been on education and particularly, as we just heard there from a man to pray charge, a whole host of problems in recruitment at the health system but there are also problems in education. watcher bridget philipson has been talking about today has been her plans for getting payments to teachers to stay in the profession and also essentially making sure it there's more qualifications to make it more established as a profession. but we before we get to any of that there are more strikes ahead, any parent to the uk knows this at the moment, waiting for the e—mail from the
10:23 am
school to see whether that school will be shot or not. there are questions about whether labour would get a pay rise to teachers they would want. this is what bridget philipson had to say. my priority would be to have negotiations with the teaching unions — negotiations with the teaching unions to get through this. that isn't _ unions to get through this. that isn't happening, it's the secretary of state's — isn't happening, it's the secretary of state's failure to get that to happen— of state's failure to get that to happen which means this week we are --oin happen which means this week we are going to _ happen which means this week we are going to see more disruption. that is an— going to see more disruption. that is an irresponsible and reckless approach — pressed repeatedly there you heard bridget philipson declined to commit to a particularfigure bridget philipson declined to commit to a particular figure or pay rise. labour are in to a particular figure or pay rise. labourare in an to a particular figure or pay rise. labour are in an interesting position — on the one hand they want to be supportive of the unions unsupportable teachers but they have made the point that they think there has been under payments and answer investment a long period, but they
10:24 am
are also trying to bolster their economic credibility and shared the reputation it, fairly or unfairly that people think they have, of spending too much money. you heard that tension there as we spoke to bridget philipson.— and before we go let's show you some pictures from canada. ferry boats have been performing in a synchronized ballet in vancouver to mark canada day. these tiny ferries usually transport tourists and locals but every year on the first ofjuly, they perform choreography. it's a summer tradition. it's been ongoing for over 30 years now. just a quick reminder of that breaking news in the last 15 minutes out of baltimore, that multiple shooting. we have a press conference
10:25 am
confirming some of the details two people have been killed, two adults killed in that shooting, three are critically injured. this is bbc news. hello. it's a fairly fresh feeling a july hello. it's a fairly fresh feeling a july day out there today. the breeze coming in from the west or northwest so in general, thing is looking bright and breezy for most of us. terminalfour bright and breezy for most of us. terminal four car bright and breezy for most of us. terminalfour car but the bright and breezy for most of us. terminal four car but the bulk of them across the northern half of the uk whereas further south, spells of dry hot weather. sitting to the north of scotland drifting toward scandinavia slowly. the winds around that area of low pressure and we see more persistent rain across the far north of mainland scotland towards orkney, a rash of showers in scotland, some for northern ireland and northern england, perhaps in front in front in northern scotland but for the south, avoiding the
10:26 am
showers may be perhaps the odd one in wales and the south west but few and far between. temperatures typical for the time of year but the breach taking the edge off the temperature. showers are easier way to becoming dry through this evening and overnight but patchy rain in the north of scotland again and the next weather system arrives in the west during the early hours of monday. overnight lows around 10 degrees but an unsettled picture on monday because we have got more errors of low pressure. this system moves on from the west bringing rain early on to parts of northern ireland. later address across wales and england. scotland sing another day of sun and showers but not as frequent as today and less in the way of any fund risk as well. the temperatures a little below par for this stage ofjuly and has that range sweeps into the southeast, just a chance of catching a shower at wimbledon in the
10:27 am
afternoon. the cloud thicken but any shower should pass through fairly quickly. tuesday, another area of low pressure arrives for southern parts of the uk, uncertainty about the detail of when and where we will see the rain but a wet weather across tuesday in southern parts of england and wales was further north, sunshine and showers, some of them heavy and frequent. all in all, an unsettled, breezy day on tuesday for most of us. feeling cool for this time of year. unsettled gush of the next couple of days but turning warmer and drier at least in the south as we look towards the end of the week. bye—bye.
10:28 am
until then, goodbye.
10:29 am
we collect images, videos from events and use them to establish what has happened. so, basically, every significant physical event this is bbc news — the headlines: police at the scene of a mass shooting in the us city of baltimore reports of 30 victims — two adults have been killed, three others in a critical condition in hospital. more than 700 people have been arrested in france during a fifth night of protests in response to the fatal shooting of a 17—year—old boy by police. 16,000 officers were again deployed across the country and the interior minister said it had been a "calmer night". twitter has announced limits on the number of posts people can see each day. owner elon musk says paying subscribers can view 10,000 tweets, with others limited to as few as 500. in england, the national health
10:30 am
service is to open a further seven gambling clinics this summer, almost doubling the current number.
