joe wilson, bbc news, birmingham.s stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at ten to seven, bye for now. you're watching the bbc news channel. countryside campaigners are calling for action on what they say is an "appalling lack of progress" in improving mobile phone coverage in rural areas. they've been backed by more than 50 mps, who've accused mobile operators of failing to put up new masts, despite help from government. jon donnison reports. these days, life without your mobile, for many, seems almost unimaginable. but in some parts of rural britain, it remains a reality. the communications regulator 0fcom says only 57% of people living in premises in rural areas are able to make phone calls on all four mobile networks. that compares to 90% in urban areas. now 50 rural mps have written to the secretary of state for digital culture, media and sport, matt hancock, calling for urgent action to change that. they want legally binding targets to force mobile operators to improve coverage. but the op

20—year—old spinner dom bess will make his test debut at lords, where our sports correspondent joe wilson here we go, the start of another english summer, put yourself in the position of gel. this position will be number three. he is the captain, the lead england's test team after such a disappointing winter. he played a crucial role and all, long may that continue for the point of view. but in his match, he needs and help with the energy and positivity. and the debut that we will see from the spin bowler dom bess. it was a entertaining, are you ready to unleash in cricket? he is a very confident young man, he's got a lot of energy, as you would expect. and he seems like he's really clear about what he wants to be doing again. and that's all can ask of. it's really exciting for me as captain. and, i remember mine, i don't remember, all you want to do is have tomorrow, along and... the weather has been great, perfect time to try out your new sunglasses for the season. but relying on the weather when you're in this hemisphere is notoriously difficult. as the captain of pakistan has discover

poor form with the bat which started in australia last year, continued. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilsonso often is in the past, touring teams have arrived in england to play a test match in may and struggled to adapt. not pakistan. after playing against counties and their test match in ireland they have acclimatise. 0n the first day of the first test they bowled with such aggression, but discipline. mohammed emwazi didn't give the image batsmen an inch, and neither did hassan ali. that was a beauty to get rid of alistair cooke. he was the only batsmen who could stand up to pakistan. an outstanding bowling performance is only worth something ina performance is only worth something in a test match if it is backed up by the batsmen. pakistan will resume on the second day having only lost one player. it will be bowler friendly conditions and england still have stuart broad and james anderson. what pakistan have shown is they can bowl well and they can catch. they are well coached and well disciplined. they don't play a lot of test matches and this could be turn out to be a famous one. i hav

our sport correspondent joe wilson is in east london. is a grade ii listed cricket pavilion behind me. the issue is how it affects the modern situation. this area is ethnically diverse and a lot of people would and see being part of a south asian community. we have girls from those communities playing in this session today, which has been arranged to coincide with the launch of this scheme. the issue that the ecb has is quite simple. when it looks at participation numbers, it sees huge numbers, reflecting these kind of communities. but what happens to that enthusiasm? whether players or supporters, it doesn't really translate through to the england team or the professional team in this country. how to address that? one barrier that the ecb sees is facilities, so over the next few years, we are going to see 100 turf pitches in urban areas, but 1000 pitches which are nontraditional, non—grass, being put into these kind of urban areas. we will see mentoring projects and talent identification, and another crucial area is coaching. from now o

from lords, here's our sports correspondent, joe wilson.ther english test match summer. put yourself in the position ofjoe root. his position in the batting order will be number three. that means more responsibility. of course, he's the captain and needs to lead the test team after a disappointing winter. he plays a crucial role in all formats of english cricket. now, he insists he still thrives on that. he is energised by that and long may it continue from the england point of view but in his test match he needs some positivity. hence the recall of jos buttler and what we see from dom bess. i have been speaking to the england captain. good to see you! and you! dom bess sat in that chair yesterday and was very entertaining. are you ready to unleash on test cricket? i am, years a confident young man with a lot of energy, as young man with a lot of energy, as you expect. it seems as though he is really clear in what he wants to do in the game and how he will approach this week. that's all you can ask of someone making their debut. it is excit

team pay, and it is atletico madrid who are into the europa league final, our sports correspondent joe wilsonou have to fill for arsene wenger but it wasn't meant to be cut because of the so hard to score against atletico at home. that's not such a good point. at the stadium here, the first season that madrid have played here, and la liga, through the entire sedona home they conceded just four goals. they go months without conceding a goal here. this week we have seen some chaotic defending. crazy kind of matches. as atletico know how to defend. it was always going to be difficult for arsenal to get past him. thousands of fans in red and white heading for home here at the moment. believing that the team is secure and european football is one of the biggest teams in the continent. as of the madrid fans, and arsenal fans. i suppose what we saw today was the benefit of having somebody of fraud was going to intimidate defendants. who really knew that his job was simply to try and get in there and score goals. diego costa has done this kind of thing to english defences at chelsea, especially again

the last thing that floated up for me was joe wilson's group that mentioned employment for homeless 1.$4 million that was used for something else. i would be very supportive to see that happen. >> thank you very much. you can't remember what i heard a lot of it. but i just want to echo about the homeless employment collaborative and $1.4 million redirected to hsa. i am interested in all of the work force stuff. how can we bring that to scale? they have good results. food security, of course, but i will send you a document in writing because right now i am getting everything mixed up with public testimony and what we heard today. i will send you that. off the top of my head, i think i am looking for pathways for people to have independence and bring them from dependency to independence. work force development is key on my list. thank you. >> thank you very much, colleagues. i will take that as a motion. >> is there a second to the motion to file? >> yes. there it is. we will file this hearing as heard. thank you. all right. any other business before this body? >> no further business. >

in madrid for us ahead of the second leg is our sports correspondent, joe wilson.the city centre, there is a place in which you could just drive by and not even be aware it is there. but what we have is the training ground of atletico madrid. a seniorfit all training ground of atletico madrid. a senior fit all team in madrid training ground of atletico madrid. a seniorfit all team in madrid if you talk to atletico madrid, fans. the point is, the league table has them in second place ahead of real madrid stopped a long behind barcelona but another reason for atletico diddle positive. especially as they have diego costa ready to start the game again. and the sought—after antoine griezmann, who was training you today dressed in pink. and they are two reasons for arsenal to be pretty worried. the tie stands at 1—1 after arsenal railway in 1—0 lead against ten men for almost the entirety of the first leg, letting atletico madrid joaquin with the equaliser, infuriating as and —— infuriating arsene wenger. from a positive point of view, this could be a famous night for hi

joe wilson is at lords.now if it is frustration or just acceptance. because this has become so familiar. as you said earlier, this is in new zealand, this isn‘t australia, this is the home of english cricket. we had a group of pakistan bowlers who performed with great discipline and accuracy. so often with these early summer accuracy. so often with these early summer test matches in england, you get tourist who struggle in the conditions. but pakistan have been here playing county cricket. they also had that test match in ireland. i think also had that test match in ireland. ithinki also had that test match in ireland. i think i have acclimatise. they had plans and they have stuck to them. they bowled in an english style combined with loose shots from alastair cook in particular. then you have jos alastair cook in particular. then you havejos buttler coming out to add the middle order power, what has his recent experience been? twenty20 cricket in india, different from the circumstances here. this is one day

joe wilson is at lords for us. joe, the tourists have managed to keep england at arm's lenghth. so. what we saw here was a typical morning session on a second day of their test match when patients was the order of the date from the batting and bowling teams. england got a couple of wickets and they have been relieved to get rid of ali for 15 because he looked well set but the context of the first first—innings performance from england, really they needed something sensational to happen with the ball today and it did not. the other wicket to fall for this the other wicket to fall for this the other batsmen not out overnight. an intriguing package of playjus't after lunch when joe intriguing package of playjus't after lunch whenjoe root intriguing package of playjus't after lunch when joe root threw the ball to best. i think the pakistani batsmen will try to go after dominic best so does joe root batsmen will try to go after dominic best so doesjoe root have the patience and the confidence to trust his 20 year off—spinner? that is an intriguing element of the play that lies ahead.

from madrid, joe wilson reports.on was going on out of town. that's where you'll find atletico, the best team in this city, any city, according to the local noise. here comes the team bus. remember, in the first leg of their semifinal in london, atletico had a man sent off and still drew 1—1. at their home ground, they felt invincible. inside ten minutes of this game, two things happened to concern arsenal. firstly, diego costa, madrid's muscle, well—known to english defences, almost scored. on a different level, arsenal's captain, koscielny, was carried off injured. in the 250 european games arsene wenger has learned to manage the unexpected, he puts the players on the pitch come he cannot make on the pitch, he cannot make them score goals and arsenal needed a goal. the team which got one on the brink of half—time was atletico madrid. diego costa. forward came arsenal in the second half, as they had to. 2—1 down on aggregate but still goal shy. atletico's manager banished to the stands for bad behaviour agonised thr

joe wilson is live at lord's for us.. where is it all going wrong? well, i don't know. i haven't played another department. i guess when you are a tea m department. i guess when you are a team that wins a toss and bat and just gets 184 runs in your first innings, you have to have a nap and a second day. that did not happen for england. the lack of variety in their bowling, no left arm is, no leg spinners, nobody with frightening pace. you have two condiments pakistan's discipline, organisation and concentration. they showed it with their bowlers and their batsman. the 19—year—old, really a leg spinning 20—20 player, he comes out and a half century, here. yes, ben stokes was good thing that, but those half chances they need to get back into the game, they never came. there could still be more work for england's bowlers tomorrow, john, but at some point on saturday they will have two batsford allied with those old—fashioned test —— have two bat for their lives. perhaps england could learn one or two things from the opposit

my name is joe wilson, executive director of hospitality house, representing hespa and budget access coalition. we have several members of the homeless employment collaborative including hospitality house, center on juvenile justice, criminal justice, hiring hall, community services and the major point that we want to make here is that if homelessness is the city's number one priority, fighting homelessness, and investing in employment services should also be a priority investment for work force development. according to the city strategic plan for work force, one of the goals is to make sure that the work force development system prioritizes services for those populations that are traditionally underserved by work force system and that certainly applies to homeless job-seekers. we also want to make sure that the legislative branch, supervisors, are paying attention to appointment to the work force board and that appointments to the body have experience in public policy or work force. there are seven or eight members of the current body whose jobs really have nothing to do with work
