Goodbye from me and on good afternoon, its 1. 30pm and heres your latest sports news. A century from captain aaron finch helped australia take the Early Initiative in their crucial world cup match against england at lords. All the pre match discussion was about the reception steve smith and david warner would receive from the crowd at the home of cricket as he continues his return from a ban for ball tampering. Joe wilson is at lords for us. How is their arrival greeted . The clouds above lard is all they have been a bit murky and mixed and i think you could say the same thing for the reception that they both got from the lords crowd. Yesterday eoin morgan told me it was up to the spectators to treat them how they wa nt to spectators to treat them how they want to do. He would not give instructions. Definite shouts when one came out. A similar response for steve smith. Nothing raucous but this is at lords. If you do have a mind to blue australian cricketers in this english summer, there will be ample opportunities with the ashes still to come. England won the task, put australia into bat, have they taken full advantage . Certainly for the first hour and a half, maybe two hours, you would think australia were definitely untapped, england hoping to get early wickets. That didnt happen. At one looked pretty at ease and fincher started to accelerate, he got to his 100 and then fincher started to accelerate, he got to his 100 and then he fincher started to accelerate, he got to his 100 and then he got fincher started to accelerate, he got to his 100 and then he got out. That was the platform they would have hoped for, some other players hoping to work on that. England were taking wickets, their fielding hoping to work on that. England were taking wickets, theirfielding has been mixed. As you go into the a5th, [mt h been mixed. As you go into the a5th, 44th over with just a 230 on the bike, ithink 44th over with just a 230 on the bike, i think australia would have hoped for more. If they come up shersha 300, i think england will fa ncy shersha 300, i think england will fancy their chances but i think it will be tense around tea time. Thank you, joe.

Defender demi stokes has defended the performance of the referee during englands 3 0 win against cameroon on sunday. On two occasions the Cameroon Team stopped playing in protest at decisions made by the video assistant referee. Its been suggested that qin liang lost control of the game. I think the referee did what she could and to the best of her ability. I think it was a difficult game. But i think she handled it and she has gone off the decisions that she has gone off the decisions that she think is best, and that is all we can go with, whether it is far against. We have to stay in our lane and focus on what we can do and why we are here, we are here to play at a world cup and that is what we would like to focus on.

Hes done three broadcast interviews in quick succession one with our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg last night, one with the Radio Station lbc, and one with Ross Kempsell on talkradio this morning. We can cross over to surrey now, where Boris Johnson is. 0ur chief Political Correspondent, vicki young is there for us. We are in wisley and a change in strategy fair Boris Johnsons team. He has been accused of having a submarine strategy where he has not been seen, hasnt taken questions, has been avoiding questions, particularly about his private life. That all seems to have changed now, so that all seems to have changed now, 03 that all seems to have changed now, soa number of that all seems to have changed now, so a number of radio interviews this morning where he turned out to be an expensive outing on the radio because he made lots of pledges about more funding for social care, police, tax cuts, infrastructure. Not much of a price tag on any of it, but quite a comprehensive list there. Also asked about brexit. He has talked a little bit more about details about what he means when he says that he thinks that the eu would not impose tariffs if we left without a deal to stop what hes really saying is he needs a new kind of agreement with the eu, not the one that theresa may has negotiated, but another one. And he seems to think the threat of leaving without a deal plus holding back some of the money, the £39 million divorce settlement, might get the eu to do what he wants. When he arrived here, i asked him about it. Mrjohnson, why didnt the eu will do what you want them to . I think there is a massive opportunity to get this thing done, put it to bed and allow the country to move forward. But you need goodwill from them. And i think there will be goodwill on both sides. Vicki, what leads him to believe there will be goodwill on both sides . He seems to be saying thatjust by having a different personality there as Prime Minister that that might be enough, but he does think that that threat of no deal, preparing for no deal, would also concentrate to the members of the eu because he thinks they do not want that either. This really does feel as though we are going back three years to the arguments that were raging just after the referendum about the approach that the uk government should take. He is effectively saying we need to start again, take out bits of the Withdrawal Agreement that he wants to pursue, but forget about the others. I think what has been interesting here today is we are ina been interesting here today is we are in a constituency where the local conservative mp has a majority of over 20,000, it is not a challenging area for him and that was pretty obvious as he went round the garden is here today. He was engaging with people, he wasnt shying away from questions. 0ne couple came up to him and said, we like you, we will vote for you, and pointed at him and said not to have anymore arguments was the bay reference to the story about him and his girlfriend, something he still does not want to talk about. It seems as though his team thinks he has to get out there, recreate some of that interest, some of the excitement some would say that there was during the Referendum Campaign when he travelled round the country doing what some people think is what he does best is communicating with people, and at the same time he is still going to have to answer more detailed questions about what he wa nts to detailed questions about what he wants to do if and when he becomes Prime Minister. Many thanks. 0ur chief Political Correspondent there. His opponent for the leadership is foreign secretaryjeremy hunt hes been much quieter than borisjohnson this last 2a hours, butjournalists asked him briefly about his brexit plans as he headed to westminster this morning. What do you think of Boris Johnson. . That is why we want the debates, so he will tell us. He said he was going to. 90 put all mind the puddles. I think if you send the right person, you have the best chance. Your plan sounds quite similar. They may be similar, but the person is not. See you later, guys. He was asked his opponent for the leadership is foreign secretaryjeremy hunt hes been much quieter i want to thank my honourable friend for visiting richard radcliffe. I met for visiting richard radcliffe. Imet him for visiting richard radcliffe. I met him the weekend before last. He is doing a remarkable job and i know the whole house is thinking about nazanin, thinking about her five year old daughter, thinking about that family and whatever disagreements you have with the uk, do not punish this innocent woman, it is not her fault, let her come home. He was also asked about the violence in hong kong. He called on the government to.

A disproportionate number of doctors from black and asian backgrounds are facing disciplinary hearings, compared to their white colleagues. Research commissioned by the General Medical Council has found that poor support and working patterns can leave medics from ethnic minorities feeling isolated. Amara sophia elah hee reports. Black, asian and minority doctors make up around a third of the workforce in the uk. Yet theyre more likely to be complained about, investigated and sanctioned. Thats why the gmc commissioned a review to look into this. The report found that doctors from diverse groups dont always receive effective, honest or Timely Feedback that could prevent problems later on. This is because managers avoid difficult conversations, particularly if theyre from different ethnic group to the doctor. In addition, some groups of doctors are treated as outsiders, cutting off work privileges and support, and leaving them feeling isolated. The gmc can support employers of doctors to think through socialisation, to make sure that people can fit in through induction, through direct feedback, through inclusive leadership. The gmc says it wants to avoid doctors being referred for issues that can be solved earlier or locally. Figures obtained by the bbc show that over a five year period 44 of complaints made against black doctors led to investigations. For asian doctors it was a0 , and for white doctors it was just 29 . They also revealed 12 of black doctors were suspended or erased from the medical register after an investigation. Thats more than double the proportion of white doctors. The next generation of doctors around 40 of medical students in the uk are from black, asian and minority ethnic groups. They, too, are concerned about the consequences racial bias might have on their careers. It does them all the way down to medical school, so im in a year with about 322 students, and im one of four black guys. The people that are in charge of determining whether they lose their licence are actually majority white, so the panel that actually assesses the doctors may dont see themselves in the doctors that they are assessing. I dont want to use the word pardon, but it almost i dont want to use the word burden, but it almost is of being a bme doctor. I guess it is something that kind of plays in the back of my mind if i was to make a mistake, is it going to be handled differently . Amara sophia elahi, bbc news. We live in an increasingly divided society thats the conclusion of a report that says top jobs in the uk are still dominated by people who went to private schools and oxford or cambridge university. The sutton trust and social Mobility Commission analysed the educational background of 5000 people in top professions. It found that the 7 who attended private schools and the 1 who graduated from oxford and cambridge still dominated. Steven cooper from the social Mobility Commission told my colleague Joanna Gosling there was an inbalance in society. 7 of the uk population go to fee paying education, yet they have nearly 40 of top jobs across a number of professions, and that is increasingly so if you are a male versus a female. There is an imbalance, they are not representative of a Broader Society and we are missing out on a pool of talent that can have those roles but have not been through fee paying education. What i saw was pop stars making it into the list in the proportion of pop stars, 20 , which ranks higher than the proportion of University Vice chancellors that were privately educated. What is going on . I think some of those are to do with the social confidence you get through fee paying schools, social confidence, articulacy, opportunity, and it is missing out on talent. That is what social mobility is all about and what the commission is trying to do to unlock those opportunities. And you are part of the commission because you are passionate about it because of your own background. Explain a bit about your background. I went to a state school and had a good education and a happy education. I left at 16 with nine or ten gcses and there was not much conversation on what i should do next from a schooling point of view and a home point of view, university was not really an opportunity for me so ijoined barclays at the time as a cashier. What they did was put me onto the graduate programme as a non graduate along with two or three others and got a degree through night school pay through barclays. I progressed to some of the most senior positions in barclays over time and it was a combination of the organisation spotting talent and giving the talent opportunity and people on the way giving the opportunity, mentoring me, giving me an opportunity to do something otherwise i might not have had. You got support along the way, so you were lucky in that people were looking to help you and they were recognising your skills and it was a mutual thing. Now there is a lot more focus on apprenticeship and a lot more availability of apprenticeships, you kind of created your own. But is that now does that gives greater opportunities for social mobility . They can be a wonderful way of creating social mobility. In my previous world, i put 2000 people through apprenticeships. A realjob, real opportunities, realwages. But it is held by the employer and employee treat those opportunities, there has to be a real opportunity and career progression and in my experience, people tend to thrive very well, they move into Managerial Positions, but it is the support structure you put around them as well as the opportunity. In a moment well have all the business news, but first, the headlines on bbc news.

Businesses are saying it takes too long to get the right people and thats getting worse. The british chambers of commerce which represents thousands of uk businesses says action needs to be taken to speed up access to talent. Its done a survey and found half of uk businesses say it takes longer to recruit people compared with five years ago its released the the hiring handbook to help businesses find and recruit the best people. Lord baker is the chairman and founder of the Baker Dearing trust and a former education secretary. I must say, the chamber of commerce is spot on, we are not producing enough technical people because all the technical subjects are being squeezed out of schools. And it is that why. That is the reason why for the last two years, apprenticeships have declined for two years running and thatis declined for two years running and that is a disgrace. And a levels, there is an a level for engineering and not one Single Person to get this year. And that is the failure of the Education System, that is why they have stepped up technical colleges, and the chamber of commerce sponsor is the one in doncaster that is opening this year and they have got a large number of local Companies Supporting them because we produce apprentices. Large baker, if i may, the problem in your view is the lack of teaching of certain subjects. We have got a new qualification that pupils are now are being targeted towards which is the t level. How much will that help . The first graduates will come out in 2023, only then mellow that we will know it is equivalent to the a level. Until then there will be uncertainty. That is why we need Massey University technical colleges because we are producing 30 apprentices every year and we had won at sellafield where 80 of apprentices and 20 tip universe to be Nuclear Engineering because the whole Education System is to go to university at all cost and today, the sort ofjobs needed, the firms wa nt the sort ofjobs needed, the firms want students who have worked in teams, who made things with their hands, designed things on computers not done in schools. Fixing things not done in schools. Fixing things not done in schools. Fixing things not done in schools. We have to fundamentally change the sort of education that we have got. It is the big task of the next government to reform Technology Education for stop and how far along the road do you think they have gone along to correct that . How will the picture looking five yea rs how will the picture looking five years time . I dont think much better, because what we have learned, if you want good technicians you should start below 16. We are transforming the life chances of thousands of youngsters by getting them into become a hired apprentice. Do you know how much they earn . Up to 20,000 a yearand know how much they earn . Up to 20,000 a year and all they have to have his one a level, like maths or physics, and a btec extendable of extended diploma. We fill those posts in considerable quantities, but ordinary schools dont. I think they have got to be changed fundamentally. But we need more utcs. Large baker, thank you very much indeed. Lets hope the picture looks better in five years time for firms attempting to recruit talent. We have got a big skills gap and it is going to get worse after brexit. We are 120,000 chart of engineering technicians and 600,000 of digital technicians. We need to do something about it. Thank you, lord baker.
