England face norway in the quarterfinals of the womens world cup, after beating cameroon in a match dominated by drama and incident. And coming up on bbc news, england openerjason roy was back in the nets today. Hell miss tomorrows world cup match against australia, but could in time for india on sunday. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The tory leadership race has turned more personal, withjeremy hunt urging rival borisjohnson not to be a coward about facing public scrutiny. He said that mrjohnson should man up and debate with him on television, before most conservative members vote. It comes as sky news announced it was cancelling a planned debate for tomorrow because mrjohnson had declined to take part. Meanwhile, mrjohnson has been talking about policies, warning that the uk will face a democratic explosion if it does not leave the eu by 31st october. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley reports. Things have been a bit more calm in downing street recently but it wont last for ever. The race for the keys to this place is heating up. This morning, jeremy hunt launched an attack on his rivalfor ducking interviews and debates. He told borisjohnson not interviews and debates. He told Boris Johnson not to interviews and debates. He told borisjohnson not to be a coward, man up and show the nation you can cope with intense scrutiny. man up and show the nation you can cope with intense scrutiny. Ijust think its very disrespectful to the conservative Party Members, not to allow them the chance to see us debating head to head, so that they can be very clear in their minds as to what either of us would actually do. Rivals have dubbed him a bottle of boris after a televised head to head tomorrow was called off. Mrjohnson is taking part in hustings the tory members, like this one in birmingham at the weekend. His supporters insist he is answering questions. There are going to be more than a dozen more of these hustings around the country. There will be another tv debate, the next one on itv. There is a huge amount of scrutiny and rightly so, and boris has put himself forward for that. These pictures have emerged of mrjohnson and his partner. The mail says they we re and his partner. The mail says they were taken yesterday, a few days after police were called to the flat following a row. Neither side wants to dwell on personal matters but on the political front, to dwell on personal matters but on the politicalfront, there are big, u na nswered the politicalfront, there are big, unanswered questions. Both candidates want us to trust them, that they can get a better brexit deal, despite all the warnings that might not be possible, but what if they fail . There are many here who dont believe borisjohnsons claims about a no del brexit. There are others who say it simply wont happen, parliament will block it and even some conservatives warning they might be prepared to bring down the government to stop no deal happening. Are the numbers there to stop no deal on the slst of october using a vote of no confidence in the government . I believe that absolutely is the case. I think a dozen or so members of parliament on out dozen or so members of parliament on our side would be voting against supporting of no deal. That would include ministers as well as backbenchers. Mrjohnson says no deal brexit wouldnt be as bad as some think that some of his claims have been criticised, like the idea there could be a short standstill, allowing current trade deals to continue. Some of his supporters dont sound that enthusiastic. We are leaving the eu at the latest by the 31st of october. Its not about an implementation period anymore. That ship has sailed and gone. So the campaigning goes on, two men who wa nt to the campaigning goes on, two men who want to steer the country through difficult times but it be simple. Wont be simple. Lets cross to westminster and talk to our assistant political editor, norman smith. Any chance Boris Johnson any chance borisjohnson will back down and take part in some of these tv debates . I think there is more chance of borisjohnson paying his parking tickets on time then ending his current submarine strategy of staying below the surface of media attention. Why . Blu ntly, staying below the surface of media attention. Why . Bluntly, because its working. You think back to the hustings amongst mps, mrjohnson sailed through doing hardly any media interviews at all and it worked absolutely fine. They want to ta ke worked absolutely fine. They want to take a risk now he is comfortably in the lead and i think there is a nervousness that borisjohnson is a bit wobbly when it comes to detailed scrutiny on policy issues and yes, on the central issue of brexit, too. The paradox is that whilst mr johnsons supporters are quite happy for him to stay out of the fray, out of the media argy bargy, they have been piling in, getting stuck in not just ajeremy been piling in, getting stuck in not just a jeremy hunt, accusing him been piling in, getting stuck in not just ajeremy hunt, accusing him of fighting a negative campaign, but to those neighbours that reported that iow those neighbours that reported that row with his girlfriend, carrie symonds. This morning, various johnsons supporters labelling them as corbynista curtain twitchers, pa rt as corbynista curtain twitchers, part of a debt Boris Campaign snowbird and using tactics of the old eastern bloc. The great conundrum is how does this play with tory Party Members . They are, the signs are that they are perhaps a good deal more relaxed about the domestic rows, the brexit wobbles, those parking tickets than ordinary members of the public. But ordinary members of the public. But ordinary members of the public. But ordinary members of the public do not get to vote. Norman smith, thank you very much. The uks first gambling addiction clinic for children and young adults will open in london in september. Its funded by nhs england and aims to support people aged 13 25. An estimated 450,000 children regularly bet, either with friends, on fruit machines, or online. Lauren moss reports. Happy family memories, captured on camera. Jack richie dancing with his mother liz. 18 months ago, when he was 2a, jack took his own life while on a gap year in vietnam after losing money on a bet. He started gambling when he was 17 at college in sheffield with friends during their lunch breaks, but it was a habit that spiralled into addiction. They didnt think it was unsafe, he didnt think it was unsafe. And i think, i think he felt, in the end, that it controlled him and thats why he died, really, because he felt he would never be free of it. Jacks parents now run a charity to support other families. Theyre welcoming the news that a clinic for young people with gambling problems will open in london in september, in what has, until now, been an adult only service. Its estimated 450,000 children are regularly betting more than those who drink alcohol, smoke or use drugs. Many are doing it through video games, fruit machines or sports, despite age restrictions. James started gambling when he was 16 and lost thousands of pounds. I was able to access betting sites through using parents accounts, and also people putting bets on for me. So it was just about the ease and accessibility from a really young age that was worrying, alongside the sheer prevalence of advertising at that age. Group therapy and one to one sessions at the clinic will also focus on Mental Illnesses related to gambling, such as depression, anxiety and substance misuse. Ive dedicated my life to treating adult problem gamblers and that has been sad enough, seeing the destruction that these people have incurred. Having said this, many of my Adult Patients were already children with problem gambling issues. New adult clinics will also open in leeds, manchester and sunderland to stop what nhs bosses have described as the scourge of problem gambling ruining more lives. Lauren moss, bbc news. The us is expected to announce more sanctions against iran later today, as tensions continue to rise between the two countries. The us secretary of state mike pompeo has arrived in saudi arabia for talks on forming what he has described as a Global Coalition against iran. Last week, donald trump said he had called off a planned retaliatory air strike after iran shot down an american drone near the strait of hormuz. Tom bateman is near there now, in fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. There is pressure on both countries to lower the tension but the opposite seems to be happening . Yes, things remain really volatile here in the strait of hormuz as we have that visit from the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, who has been in saudi arabia this morning. He then travelled here to the United Arab Emirates to talk to those key gulf allies of the united states. All after that shooting down of an american dronejust after that shooting down of an american drone just over the water here by the iranians last week in disputed circumstances. In the background to all of this is the 2015 nuclear deal, which of course the americans withdrew from last year. The europeans have been desperately trying to keep the deal afloat. They have been in tehran with the visit of a British Foreign minister yesterday but the signs dont look good. The iranians after that meeting said they felt the europeans lacked the will to keep the nuclear deal going. As for the british, they have said iran should curb its regional ambitions here in this particular part of the middle east. So what happens next . Mike pompeo will continue his visit, moving on to asia, where he says he wa nts to moving on to asia, where he says he wants to build this Global Coalition against the iranians. As for the americans, i asked a Senior Administration official this morning why the iranians should trust a country that has changed its mind over an International Agreement . He said the deal was weak and it was going to expire too quickly and accuse the iranians of responding to diplomacy with violence. Thank you, tom bateman. The former deputy Prime Minister and labour peer lord prescott has been admitted to hospital after suffering a stroke. His family announced that the 81 year old was taken ill on friday and have praised the staff at hull royal infirmarys a e and stroke units. They asked for privacy to allow him time and space to make a full recovery. People in care homes in england are not getting the dental treatment they need thats according to a new report from the Care Quality Commission. The report calls for regular check ups for residents and training for staff. Our Health Correspondent nick triggle is here. What does this report say . The inspectors have been into 100 care homes, way older people and younger people with disabilities are living and they have found that not enough is being done to support them, to look after their teeth and dentures. One in six homes, there are no checks and they are admitted first of all into the care home. Half of homes do not provide training for staff. There is also problems accessing dentists. In a third of homes, they cant always find dentists when they need them. The British Dental Association recognises its a big problem. They highlighted some of the cases their members have had to deal with. This includes a woman whose dentures had been not taken out for two weeks and then had become stuck in her mouth. She needed to have emergency surgery to have them removed. The Care Quality Commission says it is so important for care homes to place a higher priority than they do on oral health and want mandatory training for staff. They also want the nhs to do more. The Health Service can pay for Specialist Community services where dentists come out to where people are living and they say only ina people are living and they say only in a fraction of the cases are the services available. Nhs england is an issue they do recognise and they will be investment under its long term plan. Will be investment under its longterm plan. Thank you very much. Coming up to1 15pm. Our top story this lunchtime. The tory leadership battle gets personal, as jeremy hunt tells rival borisjohnson to man up and face proper media scrutiny. And still to come. Celebrations in istanbul as the Opposition Party defeat president erdogans candidate in the re run of the citys mayoral contest. Coming up on bbc news. England booked their place in the quarterfinals of the womens world cup, but the fallout from the 3 nil win over cameroon continues. Manager phil neville said he was ashamed of the oppositions behaviour. As the world seeks to cut Carbon Dioxide emissions and attempt to reduce the impact of Climate Change, scientists are meeting in germany to explore how to put Carbon Dioxide to useful purposes, including for commercial gain. Until recently it was assumed emissions from industry would have to be buried to prevent them escaping into the atmosphere, but inventors are now finding ways to use co2 as a valuable raw material. Some firms say they are already making a profit by turning co2 into fertilisers and bubbles forfizzy drinks. Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin has more. How can we store co2 . Well, lets start in the north of england, where theyre making Building Blocks with c02. Yes, Building Blocks. It sounds unlikely, but they mix the co2 with ash from a Household Waste incinerator. Making the blocks involves an awesome chemical process. Watch this. That is incinerator ash mixed with water. This is Carbon Dioxide. Here we go. Shake it all about. The co2 has been completely absorbed and is turned into a solid. Heres the chemistry on an industrial scale, two wastes making a useful product. Here, were taking Carbon Dioxide, were treating the waste and making a limestone and there are other companies that are doing all manner of Different Things with Carbon Dioxide. In suffolk, these mounds of horse manure are being turned into co2 bubbles for drinks. The horse poo and straw mix comes here to these gigantic tanks. Theyre like large stomachs full of bacteria that gobble up the mix and produce two streams of gas, one of them is methane. That goes to heat peoples homes and help cook peoples dinners. The other stream of gas is Carbon Dioxide, pure Carbon Dioxide, and theyre selling that. Bizarrely, its being bought by pubs to put the fizz into lager and lemonade. You cant taste it, of course. Near swindon, theyre making fertiliser with c02. The first ingredient is this fibrous stuff, its left over after youve put cow dung into a biogas digester, like the one we just saw. This stuff is low in nutrients, little use for crop fertiliser, so the firm adds a liquid waste from the fertiliser industry, along with nutrients and, crucially, co2. Heres what you get little pellets of top class fertiliser. Whats most satisfying for us is to take a material like Carbon Dioxide, which is fundamentally useless, as far as most people are concerned, and positively harmful, and then transform that into something that is beneficial. These technologies wont solve Climate Change but they will help, a bit. Roger harrabin, bbc news. Mps will vote on whether to approve the new 2050 Climate Change target later today. If passed, it would bring into law a commitment to reach net zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 which would make britain the largest economy to give such a commitment. Emissions from homes, transport, farming and industry will have to be avoided completely, or offset by planting trees or by removing carbon from the atmosphere. Its being described as a Pivotal Moment in turkeys recent history, with celebrations continuing throughout the night in istanbul following victory for the republicans Peoples Party in the citys mayoral election. It was the second time voters there had gone to the polls after president erdogan demanded a re count. There was one and he was defeated even more heavily. In his victory speech, Ekrem Imamoglu said he would build democracy in the city. A warning mark lowens report contains some flashing images. Cheering. This is what political magic in turkey looks like. The opposition has waited a quarter of a century to win back istanbul, to find their voice against president erdogan. Now they have it, roaring to success, Ekrem Imamoglu winning the most important city in turkey by a landslide for that cheered as a hero as he gave his trademark positive message. This society will be greeted with freedoms and will fix wrongdoing, you will see, he said. I have faith in our people and also believe that people have faith in democracy. Istanbul awoke to its new mayor and checking to a turning point. As a woman i feel more positive and it is a new step for all of us. Nowl came back positive and it is a new step for all of us. Now i came back to vote because i believe he can change something and im part of that and so something and im part of that and so proud of it and maybe i can come back to my country. It is the biggest setback for the 25 year career of president erdogan for the powerful, polarising leader rambled ona powerful, polarising leader rambled on a rerun and it backfired and now will prompt talk of the beginning of his end for the persecuted here finally see respite, like this journalist detained for insulting the president. Turkey is the worlds leading of journalists. Translation when knew that sooner or later erdogan would be beaten, he said himself democracy is like a train and deride it and then you get off. It will not be easy to undo the harm that erdogan has done to this country but this election gives us faith in the future. For turkeys opposition this result encapsulates so opposition this result encapsulates so many emotions. Joy at the victory and relief at finally beating president erdogan, defiance that they more secular, liberal values can prevail in the country today and pride that despite being battered so much in recent years, turkish democracy can bounce back. The crucial but divided country is at a watershed. Turks like to back a winner and from now it feels like they have found a new one. Mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. The senior facebook executive and former deputy Prime Minister sir nick clegg says he wants to create a new Oversight Board for the company, with the power to make independent rulings on whether questionable content should be removed. Speaking to the bbc ahead of a major speech in germany this evening the former lib dem leader said there was absolutely no evidence russia influenced the brexit referendum result using facebook. Our media editor amol rajan is here. No conspiracy is the bottom line. When it comes to President Trump we know that russia had abused the facebook platform and try to influence that election and i suppose it depends what you mean by interference or influence. We know that a russian channel is active on facebook and there is a question of how outside actors including russia may have influenced the brexit referendum but on the specific question of whether there was conspiracy of subterfuge, he was pretty emphatic. There is absolutely no evidence that it happened in the brexit referendum. We ran two full analyses of all the data we have in the run up to the brexit referendum, following exactly the same methodology as we did after the fbi notified facebook of outside interference in the 2016 us president ial election. Weve shared all of this information with the select committee in westminster and elsewhere. We found no evidence of a significant attempt by outside forces. I think that word significant, no evidence of a significant attempt and many people will be sceptical about the claim because facebook themselves do not know who is funding the adverts on the platform. He is speaking tonight in berlin, why now and why in europe . The internet is splintering before our eyes, most of us experience a kind of californian internet but there is a chinese internet which is very different, more authoritarian, and then sort of emerging internet, a european internet which is more regulated. The stories that we often discuss in this studio, record fines for google, things like that, there are about navigating the journey from californian to european internet and that is why facebook hired nick clegg. That is why his first speech in january in hired nick clegg. That is why his first speech injanuary in brussels took place there and why he speaking today in the german capital. Its been 15 years since former oasis frontman Liam Gallagher stepped out onto the famous pyramid stage at glastonbury, but on saturday hell be back. With his second solo album on the way, he took a break from rehearsals to speak to Colin Paterson about politics, and that famous feud with his brother noel. Youve got a busy time at the moment. Yeah. Shockwave, the single. Yeah. Sounds like youre quite angry. You saw me ride up the river. You had to hold me back. Im sure a lot of people would just, you know, be lazy and go, oh, its about your brother. But theres a lot of snide people out there, notjust him. You know what i mean . So it could be aimed at a lot of people. Thats up to you to find out, isnt it . Its coming round like a shock wave. Theres a lot of protests going on, what would you protest about in life . Im not into politics and all that, but i do keep an eye on it. But i dont know much about brexit and that, but id have a word with the mayor. He seems to not be doing a good job, you know what i mean . All them kids getting knifed and all that. And the only thing that ever comes out of his mouth is, london is open. What, open for knife crime and dying and stuff . Every time you wake up in the morning, theres some 16 year old kid been knifed to death. And ive got kids at that age, you know what i mean . Out and about, going doing their thing, you know what i mean . Living, being young and all that. So that freaks me right out. Its been one of the strange things about recently, suddenly all these politicians are coming out and saying that theyve been taking drugs in the past. Yeah, yeah. Shame on them. I wasjust wondering if you ever, have you ever seen a politician take drugs . No, no. I dont hang out with politicians and i dont hang out with celebrities that hang out with politicians. Or these fake rock and roll stars that hang out with politicians. Ijust hang out with me and my missus and my kids and my mates. I dont knock about in that vibe. If i did see a politician taking drugs, man, hed get a crack round the head. Like that. What are you doing, you doughnut . You know what i mean . You wouldnt approve . No, no. Theyre meant to be running the country, arent they . It is ten years since oasis split up. Yeah. Can you believe that . Not really, no. It hasnt split up in my mind, you know what i mean, when i think about it. You know what i mean . Ijust think someones just been abducted by some strange thing, you know what i mean . Im still fighting the cause, you know what i mean, for it. Whether its under my name or what, i still do oasis songs and that because i sang them and i feel like theyre a big part of me, you know what i mean . Just because, you know. And theres a lot of people going, i cant believe hes still doing noels songs. Theyre not noels songs. They were written for the band called oasis. Whats strange to me is the fact that you obviously want the band to get back together, in spite of this. I dont want the band to get back together, we shouldnt have split up, you know what i mean . There was no big deal, you know what i mean . Hes making out as if i stabbed one of his cats or, you know, slapped one of his kids or dare i say it, tried it on with his missus, you know what i mean . Its like, leave it out, mate. Its like, we had a little argument, you know what i mean . Thank you very much. Youre welcome. That was great. An Online Funding Campaign set up to support australian rugby player israel folau has been closed down. The 30 year old was sacked earlier this year after posting messages on social media saying gay people would go to hell. The gofundme site said it was committed to equality and would return the nearly £a00,000 raised. Englands footballers are preparing for their womens world cup quarter final against norway on thursday after yesterdays controversial victory over cameroon. The 3 0 win was marred by the on pitch behaviour of some of cameroons players and several poor challenges on englands players. England boss phil neville said he was ashamed by cameroons actions and he said the game didnt feel like football. Katie gornall sent this report. There was chaos, there was confrontation, and at the heart of it all, a distinct lack of control. The scoreline says england won 3 0, the headlines Say Something entirely different, as englands manager branded cameroons behaviour shameful. The rules are rules. The behaviour is wrong because its the image of womans football and its going out worldwide about a team that comes to the side and are starting to refusing to play. The game had an edge from the start, and elbow was followed by a player appearing to spit. Then two var decisions went against cameroon and their reaction was extraordinary. Even the referee came in for some rough treatment and the match had a painful and ugly end for englands captain. Somehow, cameroon kept all the players on the pitch. Ultimately, you go over that white line and youre responsible for your own actions on the pitch as a player. I feel sorry for them in some ways because of the naivete that they have from the lack of games and exposure to worldwide opposition. Today, as cameroons players left their team hotel for the last time, the mood was more reflective. In football, things can be unfair, a lot of things dont go your way. Like i said before, a lot of things are out of our control but at the end of the day, its the morale of keeping our character and knowing who we are, and for this, i think again, we have to stick together. Well, cameroons players did so well to reach the last 16 but now theyre heading home from this tournament under something of a cloud. England, on the other hand, face a much shorter trip. As well as a physical challenge, englands players passed a big mental test against cameroon. They kept their cool and their reward is a quarterfinal against norway. England returned from training this morning knowing they would have to be at the very best to beat them. Newcastle united have announced that their manager rafa benitez is to leave the club when his contract ends at the end of the month.

The club said it had been hoping to extend his contract but said it has not been and will not be possible to reach an agreement with rafa and his representatives. David ornstein is here, what is going on . This is the news many Newcastle Supporters had dreaded because despite the long standing trend is towards mike ashley the owner rafa benitez have become something of a hero in his three yea rs something of a hero in his three years at St James Park for the peas leading name in football management and took over at newcastle in march 2016 and despite their relegation from the premier league that season he led them straight back up at the first time of asking and theyve been ever since.
