Live now in hong kong storm barry makes landfall in the american state of louisiana, where there are warnings of life threatening floods. The mens singles final is underway at wimbledon today this is live from centre court, where Roger Federer is seeking a ninth title. And coming up in half an hour, Victoria Derbyshire finds out about the works that takes place at an Adult Eating Disorder Service in west yorkshire. Good afternoon. And welcome to bbc news. The mail on sunday has published more leaked diplomatic correspondence from britains former ambassador in washington defying warnings from Scotland Yard that Media Organisations could be prosecuted for doing so. In one of the cables, Sir Kim Darroch suggests that President Trump pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal last year to spite barack obama. Our Political Correspondent Helena Wilkinson reports. May last year, Boris Johnson as foreign secretary goes to washington and meets his us counterpart. His mission, to persuade the us president to soften his stance and stick with the iran deal. He appeared on talk shows. Tougher on iran. But efforts failed donald trump did not listen and withdrew from the deal. Now new confidential e mails printed in the mail on sunday revealed what was allegedly going on behind the scenes. According to the paper, kim darroch wrote to mrjohnson, saying. Under the deal, iran had agreed to limit nuclear activities. The trade off for us economic sanctions to be lifted. Donald trump did not think it went far enough. Borisjohnson failed in trying to persuade him, and he has been criticised by those who feel he did not do enough to support kim darroch who has since resigned. It was wrong for it to be leaked, it was wrong for President Trump to throw a wobbly and behave like a toddler. It was wrong for theresa may to be as weak as she was, but the real villain of the piece is borisjohnson who refused to stand with one of our most senior diplomats. Focus has shifted to a row over press freedom in britain whether it was right for the paper to publish the e mails. Scotland yard has issued a warning, if you publish leaked government documents, you are at risk of committing a crime comments which have been widely condemned. I do not think the mail on sunday was wrong, we have a very strong freedom of press in, so i think we have the right balance. For whoever becomes the next prime minister, they will have to pick up the pieces of this diplomatic fallout. In the meantime, there is a criminal investigation into who leaked the e mails. The shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, has criticised her partys response to the bbc panorama programme, which made allegations about the way labour handled claims of anti semitism. The party described former officials who had acted as whistleblowers as disafffected and said they had professional and personal axes to grind. Ms thornberry told the Bbcs Andrew Marr show that it was important labour addressed the problems raised by the programme. I think that the labour party has to deal with this issue, and frankly, i welcome the fact that the. I mean, its a shame and a disgrace that the equalities and Human Rights Commission have been brought in to look at the labour party but they have, and i think we should now welcome it. I think we should open wait a minute. We should open our doors up and we should say to them, right, we have been trying to improve our processes. Clearly, its still not working. Can you help us . A 25 year old man has been charged with the murder of a pregnant woman in south london and the manslaughter of her baby son. Kelly mary fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she was attacked at her home in south london two weeks ago. Navtej johal reports. Kelly mary fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she was fatally stabbed at her home in croydon in an attack last month. Her son, who was delivered by paramedics at the scene, also died a few days later in hospital. Police were called to her house in the early hours of the morning, where she was in cardiac arrest, and died at the scene. Herfamily, including her mother and baby nephew, were all at home at the time of the attack. Today, police have charged Aaron Mckenzie with her murder and manslaughter of her child. The 25 year old has also been charged with one count of possession of offensive weapon. He is one of three men arrested over the deaths. A 37 year old was released with no further action while the 29 year old has been bailed until next month. Aaron mckenzie is due to appear in front of magistrates tomorrow. The chancellor Philip Hammond has said the uk will not be able to control key elements of a no deal brexit. Speaking to bbc panorama, just days left before hes expected to leave the treasury, the chancellor says the eu will control most of the process if the uk leaves without a deal later this year. Private business is an important player in this, and the eu 27 control many of the levers. For example, we can make sure that goods flow in through the port of dover without any friction. But we cannot control the outward flow into the port of calais. The french can dial that up or down, just the same as the spanish for years have dialled up or down the length of the queues at the border going into gibraltar. We cannot control what no deal brexit would be like . We cannot, because many of the levers are held by others the eu 27 or private businesses. We can seek to persuade them, but we cannot control it. Philip hammond speaking to the bbcs panorama programme. You can watch the full programme, Britains Brexit crisis on bbc1 this coming thursday, july 18, at 9pm. Meanwhile, the work and pensions secretary amber rudd says shes changed her position on a no deal brexit. She had previously been opposed to the idea, but has told the Andrew Marr Programme that the possibility had to be kept alive in order to succeed in the negotiations. I maintain my position that a no deal brexit is bad for this country, and will be difficult to handle. To be fair, even brexiteers say that at the very least it will have adverse consequences. I am very clear that we need to be frank but the british people but no deal is not easy, it will be something that will challenge ur, but if we have to do it, it has to be a backstop, by the end of october, but i know longer say that i will lie down in front of the bulldozers if it arrives. England appear to be getting on top against new zealand in the cricket after winning the toss and choosing to bat, a short time ago new zealand set england a target of 2a2 to become champions. New zealand ended their innings a short while ago. Both teams are chasing their first ever world cup victory. We can talk now tojohn watson who is at lords for us at the very latest. That targets, really something for england to go for. Yes, absolutely. Ithink really something for england to go for. Yes, absolutely. I think if he had asked one organ at the start of the day you would be chasing 2a2 for victory in a World Cup Final, i think he and his team mates would have taken that. A fairly modest total from new zealand, have taken that. A fairly modest totalfrom new zealand, in part because of a brilliant bowling performance from england. As we know, england love to attack. That is the sort of brand of cricket that england specialise in. That is how they have played throughout this tournament. They have struggled when chasing down those totals. We sought in the group stage when they struggle to chase down a modern target which is made by sri lanka against australia in the group stages, as well. They proved they can chase down a total as they did so, knocking down the reigning champions, australia, in the semifinals. The first time they won a knockout match at a cricket world cup. They will feel confidence, plenty of firepower in the batting line up. Ben stokes, is the only one who has not, but he has purchased some big scorers as well. They will feel confident and i think that is key. They will probably come out and attack. As we know, three finals pay receiver england, they have never got over the line. What, 27 years ago . Their last appearance in this tournament, any final. They will hope that with huge support in lords behind me that thatll be enough to get them over the line. As you say, carol, we will see a new name on the trophy for the first time and england will hope that it is going to be them. John, just tells a bit more about the atmosphere there. They have been some suggestions that despite this historic occasion that has not been quite the build up that there might have been . I think its partly co m es there might have been . I think its partly comes down to the availability to watch this match or watch the turn of it as we know it has not been on free to air television. But sky are making the move to allow it to be shown on free to our television and hope that that will increase the interest and increase the amount viewing the sternum. The ecb chief executive says he feels that has been visible and they have been able to engage with a wider audience. It is the much by some 675 Million People worldwide. As we know, that is often been the case with cricket. Can younger audience, more diverse audience get access to its . It is certainly happy today that it is back to free to air television for the first time in 14 years. Of course, there have been other schemes behind seems to try and involve the community with the tournament. It is played in around 11 different venues around the country. I think it has tried to re engage with a wider audience and i think that this final, england being there has certainly helped to do that. If they can get over the line, it would certainly help in what is a huge summer of cricket ahead. Not only with the world cup, but with the ashes to come, as well. All pressure on england now to try and deliver. John, for now, many thanks for the latest for lords. Let us thanks for the latest for lords. Let us go thanks for the latest for lords. Let us go over thanks for the latest for lords. Let us go over to sheffield, peter is at a slightly more modest ground. Talking to some ofjoe roots family and friends.

But let us not think about that just yet. As you saidi said i am in sheffield, the significance of this place is that this is where joan significance of this place is that this is wherejoan rich started his career as a young cricketer.

It is the most nervous i have everfelt, apart from the first time he ever played for england. It is such a key match, you cannot help but be nervous. We are so proud of him, so excited. The evil team had an absolutely brilliant pay. Obviously, we are biased. The whole team. We are just thrilled to bits, could not be happierfor him. Just thrilled to bits, could not be happier for him. Fingers just thrilled to bits, could not be happierfor him. Fingers crossed just thrilled to bits, could not be happier for him. Fingers crossed for a good result. I am very proud, i rememberwhen he was a good result.

I think there is a photograph on the television of him this morning when he was awarded a prize that he was quite small. Just been his life, playing cricket since he could walk. Imight playing cricket since he could walk. I might tell you, by the way, that joes grandmother is not here now because she had a double booking. She is the captain of the luggables clu b she is the captain of the luggables club and she had a game at two oclock. She was not too happy that she would have to go and play balls when she wants to be watching joe. She admitted it might take amount of the game a little bit, given what her grandson is doing right now. Let us her grandson is doing right now. Let us been to nick. Now, you played with joe as a us been to nick. Now, you played withjoe as a young lad. I mean, you must realise the Great Potential he had . Yes, it was quite obvious that he had certain qualities. Amazing understanding of the game, his work ethic was exceptional and was just amazing to see him develop every year he got better and you could see a change in him. Still hard to get to gaps with the fact that he is one of the top three batsmen in the world, but it is there in front of you, the evidence to see every time he bats. At some stage youre at the other end ofjoe richard batting. Did you realise at a stage he would get past g . , yes. There is in its begin that i wasjust get past g . , yes. There is in its begin that i was just a spectator watching him bat. How do you feel right now . He is clearly going to stride out there at lords in a World Cup Final very soon . Is very surreal watching him. Every time i see himl surreal watching him. Every time i see him i cannot believe what he has done. His talent is there for everyone to see. I get very nervous watching him. One thing everyone has said today is that he remains a very grounded kind of lad. , totally grounded. He conspired to the club and ever he can, he helps with fundraising. He understands and totally supports values of grass which cricketer. He is a top lad. Thanks very much. So, we wait on the start of englands batting. They had done well and kept new zealand well in check. New zealand will go out of his in their innings very synth. I am sure everyone here will be gathered around the tv screen. Joe will hope they get to bat before too long, as well. So, c how it goes. Certainly england have a great chance. Every chance of lifting the world cup. Many thanks indeed for that. We all have our fingers crossed. The headlines on bbc news.

Police have used batons and pepper spray against demonstrators in hong kong as thousands of pro democracy campaigners took to the streets again today, as they try to keep up the momentum of recent mass protests. Scuffles broke out between officers in riot gear and the Anti Government protesters, who built barricades in the street. This evening, thousands remain on the streets and have been facing off against police. Our correspondent Stephen Mcdonell has been in hong kong this evening. Matt police have come in from all sides and cleared most of the protesters were in. There seems to be the pattern now, a large peaceful march and then a, sort of, hardcore group, if you like, the more radical element of the protest movement are taking it up to the authorities. Now we have hundreds of riot police, they had been moving forward 100 metres at a time and putting people back. From above, you will see, the police look out because there are projectors coming down from the rest. People have been throwing bricks, in some cases there have been a long bamboo poles used by protesters and again, if we just swing around, you can see by the protesters had moved to. This is the last book of the protesters and we teachin last book of the protesters and we teach in those yellow hats. Theyre heading in the opposite direction of the riot police, facing overwhelming force from the police. They really had no choice, they cannot resist. But this now is just a normal state of affairs in hong kong. This is not something that is going to finish next weekend or in a hurry. This is the new normal, if you like, for hong kong. Because this movement which started out as opposing this very unpopular expedition bill has not morphed into something com pletely not morphed into something completely different. It requires this mini police to try and stop. They want to defend hong kongs freedoms and they are calling now also for universal suffrage. Now, freedoms and they are calling now also for universalsuffrage. Now, of course, this is not something beijing is going to get them in a hurry. Yet, they have been emboldened, because effectively they defeated that bill. So now, they fell of belief in the power of protest was not so, giving a debating will not cave in, the protesters are also side table settle for nothing less than one one vote democracy. They have got protests planned every weekend for the next month. This is going to keep going on and on and it is hard to see where it and. That was our correspondent speaking to me just a short time ago. Let us just be needed latest pictures coming to us live from hong kong. This is a Shopping Centre where groups of protesters have been gathering, groups of right please also moving into try to contain the situation. Groups of right police. It looks like we had seen some gaps of medics there on the scene. It is unclear whether this was just one protester who is injured and now we are seeing here, appears to be the riot police escorting the demonstrators away. Taking them through their shopping mall. This is the second day of these protesters, as we were hearing theirfrom our these protesters, as we were hearing their from our correspondence, these protesters, as we were hearing theirfrom our correspondence, the leadership in hong kong has backed down and said that the bill which initially sparked the protest, which would have allowed protesters to potentially be extradited to china, that spell is now dead, according to carrie dan. Carrie lam. So, that stand off continuing. We will continue to keep you up to date with the latest developments from hong kong.

Stephanie abrams, meteorologist at the Weather Channel in the us, gave us this update from morgan city, which is south of new orleans on the banks of atchafalaya river. Well, the good news is it is starting to need some strength, because it is of rent land. The bad news is that it does still pose a threat for flooding as we head over the next several days. Some areas have seen over 170 millimetres of rain so farand have seen over 170 millimetres of rain so far and we are expecting more. The wind has been over 60 knots in a lot of locations and much higher than that for some. I want to show you, we are on the weather, what i can do is let this camera around and show you these men and women who are trying to get out to their fishing women who are trying to get out to theirfishing and women who are trying to get out to their fishing and hunting women who are trying to get out to theirfishing and hunting cabins. This river well out of its banks. You can see some buildings and some flagpoles, obviously the river is not supposed to be this high. What happened is we had a very wet spring, a lot of snowmelt in the midwest and all that water came down here and then we had a southerly bit of wind from barry and that pushed all the water even higher. So, right now that water is very slowly going down, but still in the coming days we do have to worry about this raining out of into other states, north and east of this area. Obviously people like yourself are mapping the course of the eye of the storm very closely. Do you feel that the authorities are responding well to what has been unfolding so far . They absolutely has. The National Guard has been here, helping people. There have been evacuations, there was a mandatory map evacuations.

I can tell you behind me, just as it was by that nadal and federer showdown. A cord and has been put in place to get more people from getting on the hill to watch the match. Everybody wants to get a glimpse of Novak Djokovic taking on his old rival here today. It is everything we could want and more. Initially it was Roger Federer, a man with a bit of history here, bidding for his ninth title. He came straight out of the blocks, kicking things off with an ace. Hitting the ball much better initially and djokovic had let elizabeth under pressure. It did go to a tie break in that first set. A few too many u nforced in that first set. A few too many unforced errors from Roger Federer ina unforced errors from Roger Federer in a tie break allowed djokovic to ta ke in a tie break allowed djokovic to take three points in a row and take that opening set. Since then, though, that was 56 minutes in that time tie break, by that time yesterday to womens final had already ended. Just to give you an idea of how tense that is. Into the second set now. Federer has broken twice, currently at four games to note in at second set. Djokovic, though, looks about serving for the fifth game. Currently it is Roger Federer who looks the much younger opponent right now. Many thanks for the latest from wimbledon. It looks like most of us are set for a fine end to the day. Sunny spells to come this evening at a low chance of catching a shower. This is what it looks like around five or six oclock. A lot of clear weather across the uk. Low 20s in the lowla nds across the uk. Low 20s in the lowlands and around 22 to maybe even 24 its lowlands and around 22 to maybe even 2a its still in some parts of southern britain. Evening on the way and then it looks as though overnight they went off the north sea is going to push in a little bit of cloud. Looks as though east anglia and the south east may be waking up to some overcast skies. Once again may be a few spots of light rain, but should not be anything more than that. Whether for monday, a lot of fine weather across about the uk perhaps and up villas of claudia crossan instant areas, but then be out in the afternoon is looking very similar.
