Against Cervical Cancer could see the disease come close to being eradicated. After a bbc investigation on food standards the Delivery Firm uber eats tightens up the way Restaurants Join its platform. And england prepare for their womens world cup semifinal match against norway. And coming up on bbc news. The west indies are struggling as they try to become the first team at they try to become the first team at the cricket world cup to beat india and their own hopes of staying alive in the competition are fading fast. Good evening. Over 100 labour mps and peers have strongly criticised a decision to reinstate an mp whod been suspended over comments about the partys handling of anti semitism. Chris williamson, who represents derby north, was suspended in february, after saying labour had given too much ground to those who claimed there was anti semitism in the party. His reinstatement has been called inappropriate and offensive by seniorfigures, including the partys deputy leader tom watson. This afternoon, the leader Jeremy Corbyn distanced himself from the decision, and said there was no place for anti semitism in the party. 0ur Political Correspondent Jessica Parker has more. A staunch ally ofJeremy Corbyns, Chris Williamson is an energetic and outspoken campaigner. The party that has done more to stand up to racism is now being demonised as a racist, bigoted party. But comments that emerge in february about allegations of anti semitism in the party led to his suspension. In my opinion we have backed off too much we have given too much ground, we have been too apologetic. He later said he deeply regretted the remarks and today said that he is pleased to have been let back in. Ive been overwhelmed by an avalanche of m essa 9 es overwhelmed by an avalanche of m essa g es of overwhelmed by an avalanche of messages of goodwill from grassroots members of the labour party and that is what constitutes a labour party, actually. It is grassroots membership, of which there are approaching 600,000, i wouldnt say the consensus, but the overwhelming majority of opinion is supportive of the decision to reinstate me into the decision to reinstate me into the labour party. But over 100 labour mps the labour party. But over 100 labourmps and the labour party. But over 100 labour mps and peers have in a statement demanded the decision be overturned claiming, it is clear to us overturned claiming, it is clear to us that the labour Party Disciplinary process remains mired by the appearance of political interference. This must stop. We need a truly independent process. I wouldnt normally do this but this is so important, the upset and the anger is so great but i think we need to act very swiftly to reassure people we take anti semitism seriously in the labour party. Meeting veterans in hartlepool today before the statement emerged, much of this row centres onJeremy Corbyn and the leaderships handling of anti semitism allegations. Labour says it cannot comment on individual cases but takes all complaints extremely seriously. I wasnt involved in the decision at all, it was an independent panel set up through the national executive, they examined the case and they decided to admit him back in, albeit with a reprimand. In may, the equality and human rights commissioner announced it would formally investigate labour over whether the party has discriminated againstjewish over whether the party has discriminated against jewish people. They have been demands for action before. Those may only grow louder. Equality and human rights commission. And jessica joins me now. This is a continuing controversy for labour. How significant is this latest row . As you say, there have been numerous flash points on this issue and this is just the latest. Significantly, Chris Williamson is an ally of Jeremy Corbyns and one labour mp today described the decision to reinstate him as a fix. Now of course labour will be adamant that that isnt the case but with cases like Chris Williamson, for some labourmps, he like Chris Williamson, for some labour mps, he will be a walking, talking reminder of what they see is the broader issue, one that goes to the broader issue, one that goes to the very heart and soul of the labour party as an anti racist campaigning force. Supporters of Jeremy Corbyn will say the labour leader has been fighting racism all his life, but regardless, what you have tonight is something of an open revolt amongst labour mps, including the partys own deputy leader tom watson. It is clear that these dividing lines which run also parallel to some broader political the revisions are getting starker and they are getting deeper. Broader political divisions. Last night we reported on the tragic story of Oscar Ramirez and his young daughter valeria who drowned while trying to cross illegally into the United States from mexico. They were the latest in a rising toll of migrants who have died trying to make the journey. 0ur correspondent Chris Buckler reports now from the border, where hes been speaking to other families hoping to get to america. Behind the barriers, just across the rio grande, are the families searching notjust for a home but a country. Every day they gather here, just on the edge of america, in the searing heat, waiting for the opportunity to cross the border and make their case for asylum, but that can take months and they know many, including President Trump, want to reduce the number of immigrants entering the us. He says, as Central Americans we are asking the president to understand we fled our country because its becoming communist and we are being politically persecuted. This family have travelled from honduras and they spent time here with 0scar ramirez and his daughter valeria in the days before they drowned trying to cross the river into texas. Translation she was with us. My children had been spoiling the baby. They were here, right next to me. The baby was so cute. He says, i told them they had to be patient but they shouldnt be taking a decision that could jeopardise their lives. Officials from el salvador have arranged for oscar and valerias bodies to be returned to their home country. Lawyers here have also been arranging for practical and psychological help for his wife, tania vanessa. How is she . Shes, well. I cannot tell you shes good because shes not. Shes too young. Shes pretty. I dont know how to describe her shape. Everyone here is relying on help and its at meal times you get a sense of the numbers needing that support. This is just one small part of matamoros, a sprawling city that is now full of people who have ended up stranded. They cannot cross this border bridge and they cannot fulfil their american dream. This boy from Central America wants to be an architect. He says he would like to build a community of houses because its very painful to see People Living on the streets. But everyone cant have a home in the United States and its not only President Trump who says these borders need to be defended. From the other side of this river, many families will only ever be able to look and hope. Its worth remembering that donald trump won the presidency with promises of tougher immigration policies and he continues to campaign on the issue going into 2020. He knows there is a lot of support for his position in america. And while no one disputes that there isa and while no one disputes that there is a humanitarian crisis here at this border, republicans and democrats cannot agree on how to solve it and while they fight in washington, here at the board of thoseissues washington, here at the board of those issues are not being addressed. Studio chris, thank you. Chris buckler there. Boris johnson and jeremy hunt face questions from conservative Party Members tonight in the second official hustings of the leadership campaign. Mrjohnson is promising changes to the immigration system if he becomes Prime Minister. Mr hunt says he will cancel the student fee debts of young entrepreneurs who start businesses. Our Political Correspondent ben wright reports. Campaigns all at sea. Bothjeremy hunt and Boris Johnson dropped in on the isle of wight today. Boris not here yet . Or can i plant this flag on the island . Which has a population roughly the same as the number of tory Party Members. Can i kiss granny . The people who will actually pick the next Prime Minister. The candidates making all sorts of policy promises and today jeremy hunt said he would scrap tuition fee debt for some graduates. I want to encourage our brightest and best young graduates to get out there and do what bill gates did, what Mark Zuckerberg did, create the Great Companies of the future. So, my plan says if youre going to take a risk, if you manage to set up a successful business, well cancel your tuition fees. Mr hunt seems confident he can sink Boris Johnsons status as the runaway favourite among the tory party faithful. Some of whom were in portsmouth to quiz Boris Johnson this morning. His commitment to take britain out of the eu on october 31 come what may is popular among the grass roots. Are you happy with leaving without a deal . Is that something that you are comfortable with . I never used to be but increasingly, as the delays keep coming, im much more open minded to it. I think if thats the way we have to go, its the way we have to go. What about you . Im a bit sceptical about no deal, so, well see. Bothjeremy hunt and borisjohnson are crisscrossing the solent today, setting out their campaign stalls for what they would do if they were in no 10. But the question that, of course, keeps following them is brexit. This feels like a little bubble, this campaign, because the problems the next occupant of no 10 will face are exactly the same as those theresa may left behind. Touring a shipyard on the isle of wight, Boris Johnson again insisted he would make brexit happen on october 31, whatever the eu or parliament thinks about that. Arent you boxing yourself in, the country, into a no deal brexit . No, not at all. I think that what parliament wants is obviously to get the best possible deal for our country. And they re right. But i think that the reality is that unless we come out on october 31 we will face a very, very serious further loss of confidence in politics and in our democratic institutions. Lets not turn this into some papier mache deadline. This is real. Youre not going to wobble on that commitment . Absolutely not, were going to come out. Brexit promises are being made by both no 10 contenders which can only be tested when one of them is running the country. Ben wright, bbc news, on the isle of wight. Our Political Correspondent alex forsyth is in bournemouth for us this evening, where tonights debate will take place. Alex. The candidates today have been trying to focus on domestic policy, whether that tuition fees or immigration, but you can bet your Bottom Dollar one thing will come up time and time again during tonights debate. That is, of course, brexit. Both candidates have said they want to leave with the deal approved by both the eu and parliament and so the focus is increasingly shifting on what happens if they cant achieve that. Today the outgoing Prime Minister theresa may was asked whether she would back the brexit plan of whoever takes over and she said they wouldnt get her unconditional support and they would have to try and get a majority in parliament, something she wasnt able to do a man some mps are already looking at ways they could stop any future Prime Minister taking the uk out of the eu without a deal at all. So there are clear obstacles a deal at all. So there are clear o bsta cles in a deal at all. So there are clear obstacles in the way of whoever ends up obstacles in the way of whoever ends up in no 10. But before they can get there, they have to win the support of members here. Alex, many thanks. The german chancellor, angela merkel, has been seen shaking once again during a ceremony in berlin this morning, eight days after a similar incident. The german leader appeared uncomfortable and gripped her arms as her body trembled. Last week, she appeared in a similar state of discomfort when she met the ukrainian president , but blamed the incident on dehydration. A spokesperson says the chancellor is absolutely fine and has set off for the g20 summit injapan as planned. A court has heard that a man accused of murdering a train passenger declared moments before stabbing him, im going to kill this man. Darren pencille denies murdering lee pomeroy on a guildford to london train in january. He doesnt deny stabbing mr pomeroy 18 times but argues he was acting in self defence. Sarah walton has been at court today. Sarah, what happened in court . Well, thejury sarah, what happened in court . Well, the jury who heard from Kayleigh Carter who was in the carriage at the time of the attack and saw the two men arguing. She said she heard lee pomeroy say ive never dealt with anyone with special needs before and then Darren Pencille shouted into his phone, im going to kill this man. In court, Darren Pencilles barrister asked Kayleigh Carter if lee pomeroy had been picking on his client and she said, i wouldnt say he was picking on him, but he was taunting him. We also heard from former girlfriend of Darren Pencille who said in the hours following the attack she received a phone call from him saying, ive done something bad and youll see it on the news later. The court also heard from Darren Pencilles mother, who said that he was told in his 20s that he had paranoid schizophrenia and that he had been admitted to hospital several times. She admitted under cross examination that her son was not good in crowded places and that he had real difficulties with public transport. Darren pencille denies murder and the trial at the old bailey sarah, thank you. Scientists say that Cervical Cancer could come close to being eradicated, following the introduction of a vaccine against the main cause of the disease the human papilloma virus. A review examined the impact of the vaccine on 60 Million People in 1a different countries. Heres our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson. I formed a bucket list, and i think once youve had cancer, a lot of people do it and tick off things that they want to do. And i learned to sail in kefalonia. Four years ago, out of the blue, mandy parker was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer. Within 17 days shed had tests, scans and a radical hysterectomy. She says telling her children was one of the hardest things. To sit down and explain to your children that youve got cancer, and i did it separately, so my elder daughter first, she was in gcse year, is very difficult and the first thing they asked is, are you going to die, mum . And you can honestly say, i dont know. Every year in the uk, more than 3000 women are diagnosed with Cervical Cancer, and around 800 die of the disease. But there is a vaccine against the human papilloma virus, or hpv, that causes it, and new Research Published in the lancet seems to suggest the vaccine is becoming a game changer. Researchers gathered data from 65 studies involving a huge 60 Million People worldwide. They found that after eight years of vaccinations, there was a drop of 83 in hpv infections in girls aged 15 19, and 66 in 20 24 year olds. And cases of precancerous growths halved in teenage girls and were down almost a third in young women. The impact of the combination of the vaccine and cervical screening is huge. We diagnose 3200 women with Cervical Cancer every year and one or two women are dying every single day. Every single one of those diagnoses has the potential to be a preventable diagnosis and a preventable death. Hpv is spread through sexual contact. Currently in the uk, girls aged 12 and 13 are given two vaccinations, but hpv can also cause genital cancers in men. From september, 12 and 13 year old boys in england will alsojoin the Vaccination Programme with the rest of the uk to follow. Mandy has now been cancer free for four years. Shes just relieved her children will be protected from the disease. I said, i dont ever want anyone to go through what i went through, so we can prevent this by getting you vaccinated, and my son feels exactly the same. Sophie hutchinson, bbc news. The time is 6 17pm. Our top story this evening over 100 mps and peers demand Jeremy Corbyn takes further action against the mp Chris Williamson in a row over anti semitism in the party. And england take on norway tonight, fighting it out for a place in the womens world cup semifinals. Coming up on sportsday, england fans get ready to cheer on the lion asses as the nations women get ready to make history tonight. The Food Delivery Company uber eats has tightened the way restaurants sign up to its service, after bbc news successfully registered a fake takeaway on the site, and was able to process orders. The company says its deeply concerned by the incident and is now carrying out an audit of all food outlets currently on the platform. The revelations follow our report last night on the numbers of restaurants with low hygiene ratings on the delivery apps. Angus crawford reports. Fancy a burger from londons newest takeaway . Time to make it official by signing up to the Delivery Platform uber eats. Within days, instructions and equipment delivered by courier. Ive told them i dont yet have a hygiene rating but promised to get one. So the best burger corporation, or bbc, is open for business. No checks, no proof of id and, crucially, no hygiene inspection. But still, im up and frying in my front garden. And theres an order on the way. The best burger. From food safety expert mark mcglynn, whos just down the road. Orders been taken. Thats really shocking, thats quite shocking. Ok, so thats one plain burger, a little bit of garnish. Within minutes my very first order is picked up. And moments later, delivered. Uber eats. Great, thank you very much. What do you think about what happened today . I could not be more shocked. I am astonished by what i saw but also very, very alarmed. Its not warm, its rather cold. Were in desperate times, it seems to me, if very, very large food Delivery Platforms can be operating in this way. What do you think of that . I am almost speechless with horror about that and aside from wanting to comment on your own hygiene practices, that driver appeared, looked at where you had produced that food, took it and went. Thats just horrifying. Uber eats told us. The company says it will. So how can you know if a takeaway is clean or not . In wales, hygiene ratings have to be displayed in the shop window but that law doesnt apply online. The Welsh Government says it should across the uk. Ijust bought this from a takeaway with a hygiene rating ofjust one. So when youre going in to order food on any one of those apps, i want to make sure that as a consumer you have that choice and that information in front of you. So if the big Food Delivery Companies wont change, youll make them change . Yes. Deliveroo and uber eats dont show individual hygiene ratings but say they hope to in the future. Following our investigation last year, just eat did start a trial showing ratings for a small number of outlets and says that will go nationwide next month. Companies making billions from meals they dont cook, in takeaways they dont own. Is it time they were made responsible for the kitchens where that food and their profits are made . Angus crawford, bbc news. The next generation of the Vauxhall Astra will be built at Ellesmere Port if a satisfactory brexit deal is agreed. Thats according to its owners, the psa group, who say the move is conditional on the final terms of the uks exit from the european union. Our correspondent Colletta Smith is at Ellesmere Port. How important is the astra to the factorys future . The astra is the lifeblood of this place, its one of the uks most popularfamily cars place, its one of the uks most popular family cars and its built at Ellesmere Port, a place that has been open for nearly 50 years so for more than 1000 workers this evening its a relief as they know their futures are more secure. Its a different tune to the one being sung bya different tune to the one being sung by a lot of Car Manufacturers in the uk. We heard from ford, honda, Jaguar Land Rover and nissan all saying they are cutting workers in the uk but it comes from a big f because vauxhall say they are reserving the right to change their mind if there is a no deal brexit. Thank you. Now, take a look at this its17 year old feuzi za baat, who was working in a street in istanbul when something caught his eye. Moments later he makes this incredible catch saving two year old doha muhammed, whom hed spotted playing near a window in her parents second floor flat. Little doha was unharmed by the fall, and her mother has praised zabaat as a hero. The lionesses will aim to be the first england team to reach a third successive major tournament semi final when they play norway in the womens world cup tonight. But there are concerns that some players may not be fit enough for the game. Katie gornall is there for us. Phil neville could be forced into making some changes here as we wait to see whether his starting centre back millie bright has recovered from a sickness bug and that will be a concern because there is extra significance to this game, england have to win to qualify as team gb for the Tokyo Olympics but right now the world cup is all that matters. Here in le havre there is a growing sense of excitement around this world cup and england are at the heart of it. This is their second game here but this one brings nerves and fans cannot wait. So excited, the sun is out, everyone is out and my dad is here. Nice to see england in the world cup, female or male, support the country, enjoy the sunshine and watch football. And fa ns sunshine and watch football. And fans have every reason to feel confident. England have faced a number of obstacles at this world cup and found a way through. Once you get past the halfway mark, we wa nt to you get past the halfway mark, we want to be here for the duration of the tournament but its so important to look to the next game because your mind can wander and you can overthink and that some think the squad has been good at, just sticking to the task in hand. Back home the bandwagon is growing, and a campaign has been started to get more pubs and bars showing womens football. We have turned sceptical people into supporters who havent been interested in watching the games, when we put it on. By the end of the game they are screaming and cheering them on. One player who will not be on show is ada hegerberg, despite being voted the best player in the world, who has chosen not to represent her country over issues with the norwegian fa. Organised and entertaining, no weight were too much for australia and are expected to give england their toughest test yet. |j and are expected to give england their toughest test yet. I think theyre one of the fittest teams in this tournament but im fully behind the lion asses. The heat is on in france and england fans hope tomorrow it will be no weight heading home. Well, one place you can watch the game later, if youre lucky enough to have tickets, is glastonbury. And music at the festival gets under way tomorrow. Our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, is there for us. Lizo. Yes, there are almost more than 100,000 festivalgoers on the site here and many are expected to gather here and many are expected to gather here to watch that crucial match on the big screen behind me. Now if england do manage to win it will kick off the Party Atmosphere that is so famous here at glastonbury and we have a great line up of music in the next few days, never likely to be hundreds of packs over dozens of stages, highlighted by people like stormzy, to kylie minogue, who was meant to play here in 2005 but had to cancel when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and there is already a wonderful atmosphere here because when you come to glastonbury you expect great music and great weather and this time they are likely to get plenty of both. Time for a look at the weather. Heres tomasz schafernaker. Great weather in glastonbury but it might bea great weather in glastonbury but it might be a bit too hot with those temperatures into the high 20s and strong sunshine. This is what it was like across western europe today, thejune like across western europe today, the june record broken, like across western europe today, thejune record broken, in porthmadog in wales 23 celsius and it will get hotter in the next few days. A lot of sunshine across the uk, turning a bit cloudy by the early hours of the morning across central and eastern areas but that warm starting to reach south western pa rt warm starting to reach south western part later in the morning and the humidity will also rise as we head into the weekend, lets look at the picture closely across western parts of scotland, even in the highlands locally it could beat 30 celsius and you can see the highest temperatures will be across western parts of the uk on saturday, then on friday that his, on saturday the heat moves further east and it will be across central and eastern areas, in london it could get up to 3a degrees, now i will show you the temperature with the humidity so the apparent temperature could beat 37 degrees on saturday into the mid 30s further north, so that is how it will feel because of that humidity, then on sunday i change in the wind direction, it will come of the atlantic, much fresher, we lose that humidity and there will be a temperature drop of around 10 degrees between saturday and sunday. Thats all from the bbc news at six, so its goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbcs news teams where you are. Hello, this is bbc news.
