Americas racism row chants and englands netball team already through to the semi finals are about to start their final group match aganst the world number five side south africa. Good evening and welcome to bbc news, mps have voted in favour of blocking any attempt by the next Prime Minister to force through a no deal brexit by suspending parliament. The commons voted 315 to 274 thats a majority of 41 to approve an amendment put forward by labours hilary benn and former minister alistair burt. Four cabinet ministers abstained from voting the chancellor phillip hammond, thejustice secretary david gauke, the business secretary greg clark and the International Development secretary, rory stewart. 17 conservatives voted against the government including the junior minister margot james who has now resigned. Its being seen as a victory for parliament and a potential headache for Boris Johnson if he becomes the next Prime Minister hes refused to rule out proroguing or suspending parliament. And lets hear what margotjames had to say about her reasons for supporting the amendment. We did not yet know the result of the leadership and i am very keen and still hope jeremy the leadership and i am very keen and still hopejeremy hunt will win. Iam and still hopejeremy hunt will win. I am backing him and and still hopejeremy hunt will win. Iam backing him and had and still hopejeremy hunt will win. I am backing him and had done so all the time, and i remain hopeful but if he does not, then a boris has failed to rule out provoking parliament. He has issued very defiant noises about it or die, deal 01 no defiant noises about it or die, deal or no deal out on the 31st, and over the christ that a campaign i had become increasingly alarmed at the way that he is now talking about dumping the backstop to get there, i did not know where he thinks it leaves the belfast agreement which is vital to the peace and security of the people of Northern Ireland. I think that government must take that seriously, so from all manner of other reasons as well, i feel the time was right today to join the people were trying to do that matters. Meanwhile, the government tax and spending watch dog has warned that a no deal brexit could cause a £30 billion hit to finances, from falling house prices to higher cost of living, the office for responsibility and budget spells out what happened in a no deal scenario and that is something both Boris Johnson and jeremy hunt, had not ruled out. Here is our economics editor, faisal islam. It is the first time that the governments independent experts on tax and spend, the office for budgetary responsibility, have assessed what happens to the treasury tax billions and to public spending too if the uk leaves the European Union without a deal. There is huge uncertainty, there is no knowing in advance exactly who will be right, the chance is everyone is going to be wrong in some respect, but the idea there is a big positive coming out of this is a relatively minority view. This is a serious and detailed assessment of the impact of no deal. It contains some positive surprises. Under no deal, the government will tax some imports, there will be less interest to pay on the National Debt. That gives a boost to the coffers here £11 billion a year. But thats completely outweighed by the projected hit to the tax take on workers, on property and on businesses, and extra welfare spending, total £41 billion. Put that all together and you get a projected hit to the finances extra annual borrowing of £30 billion, or put another way, over £550 million a week in the red. Far from the promise on the famous red referendum bus of extra billions for public services. Rather than extra borrowing. Indeed, so much so that the National Debt starts to grow again. All of these 0br numbers hinge on a scenario borrowed from the International Monetary fund. They show a hit to the economy, recession, and then a slow recovery. And within that by next year fall in the value of the pound versus the euro by 10 , house prices by 8 and prices rising faster than wages. A real terms wage cut again. So is this all doom and gloom . The numbers dont take into account future trade deals, one Boris Johnson supporter said the numbers were rubbish in, rubbish out, but they could actually be worse. The government is doing these test runs of parking trucks at a kent airfield. The 0br assumes there will only be minimal disruption from new customs procedures at dover, so it and the chancellor say these numbers arent even the worst case scenario. This assessment comes at a time when the economy is already slowing, at least partly because of businesses no deal preparations. The question for the Incoming Administration of mrjohnson or mr hunt which is due in days, is whether they believe in independent advice, whether they believe in their own experts or not. This report takes the extreme pessimism of other economists and extreme optimism of some politicians and the cost of no deal and it pretty much splits the difference. And even then, its not a pretty sight. Faisal islam, bbc news. More now on and peace backing a motion thatll make it harder for a future Prime Minister push through a no deal brexit against parliament. We speak now to robert hill is a professor of government and constitution and welcome to bbc news. What in your view does the boat today actually mean . news. What in your view does the boat today actually mean . I think they mean significance, the size of they mean significance, the size of the rebellion on government site. When dominic first moved it a few days ago, it was carried by the narrowest of margins by only one vote. And today, the government defeat was by 41. This indicates the huge determination in the house of commons to try to prevent no deal. You say it indicates the grounds of opinion against a no deal, but doesnt actually make a no deal brexit and possible . Does it. Doesnt actually make a no deal brexit and possible . Does it. Not necessarily because technically it was an amendment to the Northern Ireland bell which requires a government minister to make a regular statement every fortnight about progress in talks of Northern Ireland, but even if that does not work, as one of several wizard have said, what it does indicate i think is the likely support in the house of commons and come september or october, that the government is heading for no deal, to use everything in their power to try to prevent that and in particular, to pull on the emergency formal break, which is a no confidence motion. The size of the defeat today suggests to me very strongly that there was a formal no confidence motion in early item to try and pray that no deal, because government was clearly heading in that direction, government would be very likely to lose that no confidence motion and thatis lose that no confidence motion and that is why i think its a very serious warning for Prime Minister trying to head for a no deal that they run the risk of bringing down their own government and it being a short lived Prime Minister. Their own government and it being a short lived Prime Ministerlj their own government and it being a shortlived Prime Minister. I guess the flip side is how much could this motion and decision actually weakened behind the future Prime Minister who may, lets say want to go to brussels and say, we are serious about a no deal, it is a favourable agreement. serious about a no deal, it is a favourable agreement. I think you are rightand favourable agreement. I think you are right and hinting it seriously wea ke ns are right and hinting it seriously weakens because the price question likely to be asked by his european counterpart, particularly in the larger theresa mays difficulties in getting a deal through the house of commons is is, cannot tell as Prime Minister do you have the full support of the British Parliament who are you are now proposing a particular deal had the support of the British Parliament in saying that if necessary, you are willing to head for a no deal is not and what this demonstrates today, is that its very unlikely that the Prime Minister can demonstrate that he would have the full support of parliament for that strategy. Really good to talk to you, robert hayes a professor of government and the constitution a University College london. Lets cross now to westminster where we can speak to oui westminster where we can speak to our political correspondent. Next, whats the reaction to the boat being there . I think people who oppose no deal think that they have made a significant move towards allowing that to happen today. There are some, who are really worried about the impact of the no deal brexit, they think they basically created a space not to make sure whatever happens, they have a chance to try and block it. They think they have the number is and they think they can see it to the next Prime Minister, we can stop and we found a way of doing it and created a mechanism and we had the backing but i have to say, even in the other side, borisjohnsons allies is still saying hes going to take us out by the end of october and they seem pretty confident that their man would not go to brussels and asked foran would not go to brussels and asked for an extension under any circumstances. Its a strange day where there is no doubt that there is some momentum with the people who are trying to stop the uk reading without a deal, they are happy and found themselves some space, probably in october to block no deal if things go that way, but we are not ina if things go that way, but we are not in a place where we can say that will not happen and there is still active and seconded to come. Lets turn to labour now and the suggestion that labour appears could hold a vote of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn over his response to claims of anti semitism. Jeremy corbyn over his response to claims of antisemitism. How likely is that boat . I think its looking pretty likely, there is lots of disquiet in the labour group and house of lords, yes about the way the party has dealt with a defendant allegations, particularly since that bbc panorama documentary last week, but the immediate straw that appears to break the camels back here, is by sacking of the baroness, and she is a junior brexit minister or she was, on the labour front bench. Also the deputy readerfor on the labour front bench. Also the deputy reader for the piety and the house of lords, she made comments this week saying thatJeremy Corbyns team had not been listening when it came to anti semitism, comparing them to that infant is seenin comparing them to that infant is seen in the film downfall, which is about adolf hitler final days in the bunker and they are not listening to anyone and whining about losing the war. That went down really badly without labour leadership, she was sacked from myjob, and peers are serious about that they are really unhappy with the way it was handled, they were happy she was told in the birthplace of their being sacked and on monday had an emergency meeting on monday had an emergency meeting on discussing whether to have a no confidence vote, things are not good other there. And even if that next he will not have to stand on does no formal rebuke they could really administer, but it is just a sign of disquiet in the party. The union i know is holding a meeting, it is he receiving backing from his Traditional Union support base . Fascinating to see this, bg and bra labour affiliated union, they are often quite close to the left and some of his allies. Members of the union who work for the labour party had voted today overwhelming way to rebuke the party for its response to that panorama investigation. That think they are really unhappy about is the way the labour party dismissed whistle blowers, calling them disaffected former staff members. Basically hinting that they did not likeJeremy Corbyns politics and thats why they were coming out and saying anti semitism was a big problem in the party and leadership that wasnt dealing with a properly, this motion has been carried by the gnb branch for labour stoppers today, saying that party needs to apologise and union needs to come out tonight and say that party needs to take it seriously and they will be seeking meetings with management of the party and when you think about it, a union attacking the labour party for not dealing with staff properly, its just another sign of how pensions in the labour party and the structures in the piety are really under extreme pressure at the moment.

Well, number one i think i did i started speaking quickly, it really wise, i disagree with it by the way, but it was quite a chant and ifelt badly with it by the way, but it was quite a chant and i felt badly about it, but i will say this, i did and i started speaking quickly, but it started speaking quickly, but it started up rather fast as you probably already know. Well i would say i was not happy with it. I disagree with it. But again, i didnt say that, they said it, but i do disagree with it. The congresswoman who is the target of his tweets called the comments fascist. is the target of his tweets called the comments fascist.

I want to apprise everyone and incident in the strait of hormuz today. Involving uss boxer and maybe Amphibious Assault ship, it took defensive action against an iranian drone, which had closed into a very, very near distance, approximately 1000 yards ignoring multiple calls to stand down and was threatening the safety of the ship and the ships crew, the drone was immediately destroyed. This is the latest of many provocative and hostile actions by iran against vessels operating in international waters. The United States reserves the right to defend our personnel, facilities and interests and calls upon all nations to kanban irans attempts to disrupt kanban freedom of navigation and global commerce, i also call on other nations to protect their own ships as they go through that strait of hormuz and work with us in the future, thank you very much. I thought you should know that. Here, a larger. A lodger who killed a 13 Year Old Girl to stop herfrom exposing him as a sex abuser has been found guilty of her rain and murder. Stephen nicholson stabbed lucy mchugh in woods in southampton. The conviction comes despite 25 year olds attempts to stop police finding social media messages hed exchanged with lucy. James ingham reports. Lucy was always full of smiles, said her mother. Always on the go, whirling around like a hurricane. But the 13 year old was being abused by a man her family had trusted. The man who killed her. Stephen nicholson was a lodger in her home. He worked for the same care agency as her mother, and was best friends with her mothers boyfriend. They thought lucy had a crush on him. In fact, he was grooming her. He raped lucy when she was just 12. Despite that, over the following year, she came to believe she was his girlfriend. On a warm sunny day last july, lucy went missing. Police believe that she had arranged to meet him at southhamptons Outdoor Sports centre. Her half hour walk was captured on a number of cameras. This is the last Recording Police could find, outside a tesco store close to where she was heading. Parts of the sportscenter are surrounded by this thick woodlands. Lucy ended up here, but police do not know how or why. But she was killed in this quiet secluded spot, just yards from the split path. A day after she disappeared, a dog walker found her body. She had been stabbed multiple times. Left to die amongst the trees. Nicholson, who was filmed on cctv making a similar journey, was arrested soon afterwards. He was jailed for refusing to give the police his facebook password. His phone data showed he had returned from the sportscenter by a nearby brook. Police searched the area, finding vital evidence. Within 24 hours of the search teams beginning their search, they found what we would say is the murder kit. It had crucial evidence clothing with both lucy and nicholsons dna on it. For me, that was the key finding of the investigation. Lucy had told School Friends that she had an older boyfriend. Some of them confided in teachers, who alerted social services as early as june 2017, a year before she died. The court heard one was worried that. There were a lot of men with access to her, without mum in the house. When lucy was moved to another school, teachers raised concerns that lucy was. Having sex with someone called stephen who lived with her. Despite this, lucys living arrangements remained unchanged. The way these concerns were dealt with by southhampton city Council Social workers and by lucys mother are now the subject of an independent serious case review, which is due to concluded towards the end of this year. Lucys father, who after a custody battle, had not been allowed to see his daughter for three years, believes that more could and should have been done to keep his daughter safe. No parent should be laying their child to rest. I didnt imagine laying my daughter to rest. I should have been, they should be laying me to rest. Not me laying her to rest. At the end of the day, there are all those things we will never see because she will never go to prom or get married or have children. He stole her life away. When stuff like this happens, you hope lessons can be learned from it. A garden at red Bridge Community school now bears lucys name. A permanent memorial to a confident and popular student. Lucys head teacher, who called in the social services, says some in the school still question whether they could have helped her. We have some students who are upset and feel guilty. I have members of staff who feel guilty. Although im confident in the safeguarding procedures in this school, i feel guilty as well. I was her head teacher. And, with what i know now, there was obviously more you want to do. And i think about lucy most days, and ijust wish she had the confidence to Say Something to me directly. Music. This was nicholson, seven years ago. He made a music video with charity support, rapping about how he was moving on from a life of crime and drugs that had seen him jailed before. Tonight, hes back injail facing life behind bars for a brutal murder that shocked the community to its core. Is your weather now, sarah has a forecast. However, after what has been a try half ofjuly, much of the uk, things turned unsettled with welcome rainfall in the south. Showers are around thursday, this lets the picture on the coast, blue skies and clear skies and a few showers on parts of scotland. Elsewhere, i try and clear weather but later tonight, attention turns to the southwest of england and wales, heavy rain moving in here. Cooler and fresher than the recent nights. Friday morning starts with heavy rain in the southwest, soggy morning. Rain goes northeast, many seeing wet weather on friday, the main rain will be further south later in the day. Northern scotland largely dry, but cooler than recent days, top temperature is about 21 degrees. Friday showers on saturday, sign sign and sunday looks like a drier day of the weekend.

As she worker is convicted of the rain and murder of a school girl who he killed so she would not expose him as sex offender. The younger brother of the Manchester Arena bomber appears in court. Charged with murdering a 22 victims of the attack will stop the latest technological craze sweeping social media could be whether or not britain gets brexit deal will depend on the negotiations between the eu and our new Prime Minister. For months now, the chief negotiator has been saying that theresa mays agreement has been rejected by parliament and it is the only way forward. Speaking to bbc panorama, they said britain would have to face the consequences if it left without a deal. Next week, our new Prime Minister will take the stage and face the cameras outside number ten. They will immediately face an old crisis. The brexit crisis that forced theresa may out of power. The country is still divided, Parliament Still deadlocked, the eu still making it clear that they will not budge. In his first British Broadcast interview, they warned that the 600 page divorce deal he negotiated is not going to change. With the uk, that these answers to each and every point of uncertainty create a better brexit if we just left and tore up the membership card, we would have to face the consequences stop i did you think ever that they might choose a no deal . Theresa may may go for no deal . Never. Never right hand man to the presence of the european commission. He also does not take talk of a no deal brexit at all seriously. Do you think britain must prepare for no deal . No. I am very certain. We have seen what has been prepared on our side of the border for brexit, we do not see the same level of preparation on the other side. After brexit, the irish border will be the border between the eu on one side in the uk on the other. Tonights panorama reveals that theresa may was told by Community Leaders in Northern Ireland that a no deal brexit could lead to the break up of the uk. The attitudes that they were singing their communities and what they thought was a sort of growing support for a change in the status of Northern Ireland, which they thought would be hugely accelerated if the uk left without a deal. Thought would be hugely accelerated if the uk left without a deal no deal brexit could lead to. The neck that made a profound impact on the Prime Minister. They are waiting to hear what sort of brexit deal britain would accept some in brussels are scathing about what they witnessed in these past three yea rs. They witnessed in these past three years. They have not got a plan. That was really shocking, frankly. If you do not have a plan and we see it, time is running out and you do not have a plan. Its like, dont panic, dont panic theresa may at times, has found itself isolated and lonely and eu summits. The word coming from brussels to her successor is that do not assume that it is going to get any easier. You can see more on that in the brexit crisis, that is a nine oclock on bbc one.

I havent put him to rest yet, his ashes are with me. It was alleged he was killed in connection to drugs, his family deny that. They want more action to deal with knives. I feel the government are not concentrating on knife crime, or any crime, serious crime, i feel that they are more interested in brexit. Stop and search, more police, tougher sentences, stop slapping people on the wrist for having a knife. If youve got a knife, why have you got a knife .

Patrolling estates is a low priority. We need to put more money into policing. There is frustration here that so few crimes are being solved. No one should be surprised by that reduction when you have 20,000 less police officers. The officers who remain and staff who remain have a bigger workload, it takes longer to get crimes processed through the whole criminal justice system. We are investing more in the police this year than last year as a country, £1 billion more going into our police system, and we have made specific money available for serious violence.

Hes becoming increasingly withdrawn. The low self esteem is the beginning of depression so i think, if it doesnt get tackled now, it can lead to further things. And lauren is also facing more extreme cases. Some children that choose to not eat. Body issues . Body issues, yeah. At the age of . Seven. I want to kill myself gets thrown a lot. It gets around a lot. How many children have actually said that to you . Well, last month about three. For serious cases, schools can refer to Mental Health services. Weve had children as young as four need it. Four years of age . Four. The bbc has learned referrals to child Mental Health services from uk primary schools for pupils aged 11 and under have risen by nearly 50 in three years. When you ask for that help from other agencies or people who you feel have got more expertise, it takes too long to get to you. You need it tomorrow. You need it today, and it can be months. Or never. Weve also learned of a pupil from a Different School who spent nearly three years on a waiting list, and of another who was rejected for treatment nine times. During our time here, we met young teachers determined to give children the best education, but anxious about dealing with serious and complex modern problems. As a teacher, you want to make everything all right but you cant. Are you equipped to do that . No, were not equipped to do that. Are you trained to do this . No, im not trained to do.

Which sees users upload pictures of their faces after being digitally altered to look older or younger. The app also allows users to digitally change their hairstyles and makeup. But today it has come over fire that it could be mishandling personal data. The russian based Company Behind the app, dismissed concerns but the information commissioners officers are looking into the allegations in earlier today, the minority leader called on the fbi to investigate. We need to look at what is going on here. So i called for the ftc and the fbi to see if this information could end up in the wrong hands to be used for back up purposes. We need the facts. Joining us from newcastle is the technology journalist, thanks for joining newcastle is the technology journalist, thanks forjoining us on bbc news. This app is positioning itself as just a bit of fun. Is it . It is, it is not to worry something that chuck thinks it is. The face apt came onto the scene back in 2017, when people did not pay much attention to it and over the last week, it has gained a massive amount of traction on social media. People wa nt of traction on social media. People want to find out quite what they look like when they are older and if you can kind of investigate what you might happen to agent two, people wa nt might happen to agent two, people want to do it. But this is ultimatelyjust a bit of fun. A lot of the concerns around this have been overblown simply because the developers of the app are based in russia. But truthfully, a lot of what face apt does is simply the same as every other app that we have on our iphones or our androids. So what exactly are you giving face apt access to if you download and upload access to if you download and upload a picture of yourself . You download the app and you end up uploading a picture to face apt servers, and then they apply the filters that can aid your face. There was some concern when a security researcher thought that face app was taking things from your phone and uploading them to theirservers, things from your phone and uploading them to their servers, other security researchers found that actually it was not true and in fa ct, actually it was not true and in fact, they only upload one photo at a time. No, these apps are not siphoning all of your data and photos and putting them to russia. Doesnt retain ownership of the image that you upload, even if you say delete the app afterwards . This is one of the issues that there is with faceapp and a genuine issue is that if you do delete the app, that data is still held by faceapp and it is held interpreted to eddie, the one thing we have reached a point where we wa nt we have reached a point where we want to think about how we use our apps and the terms of service that we adhere to when we actually install these things. So the Silver Lining of all of this horrible confusion is that actually, people may start looking more in depth and what theyre signing up to they installed these apps. Would you use it was blue i would, except for the fa ct it was blue i would, except for the fact that i really dont want to look and see what i look like when i am 50 or 60. I think what im seeing right now is horrifying enough. Im talking about me. Tens of thousands of passengers every year enjoy a trip down the river tames onboard little ships. It dates to 1892, while another took part in dunkirk, the evacuations in 1940. The department for transport says new safety regulations could mean they have to be rebuilt. On this claim the cost involved would force them to scrap the boats. Build a century ago and like the sister ships, still applying their trade on the 24 mile route to central london. There were a unique design and build for the tames. They could get under the bridges which are quite low at this part of london and they allow passengers to have access to these historic routes which of anyone who has been on them, are quite magnificent.

It would lose one of her most distinctive features, the saloon, the rear of the vessel. It will be cut off, the deck will be replanted with the split underneath and the family who owned her and two other vessels say it will cost in half £1 million for boat. He says the safety review threatens his livelihood. It is not practical to do it into its the company out of business, which then in turn, if they go out of business, i go out of business because i no longer have a job. If if these business because i no longer have a johm if these boats are good enough or dunkirk, theyre good enough or dunkirk, theyre good enough for us. It is managed all of these years and it is perfectly safe, why change them . The report authors say there is room for manoeuvre, but they have to stay on course. Where there is room for a discussion is on whether a different pa rt of discussion is on whether a different part of the tames, so further upstream, where there is less hazard and the title stretch, that survivability is really important in bringing those older boats up to the same standards that new boats are constructed to stop by the recommendations go before Parliament Later this year.
