We are in the height of the Holiday Season we are in the height of the Holiday Season and the weather is in a cantankerous mood, lots of showers around and wetter weather to come, believe it or not. I will have more details in half an hour. Thanks matt. Also coming up on afternoon live, well have the latest from hong kong where police have fired tear gas to disperse democracy activists trying to enforce a general strike. Hello everyone this is afternoon live im martine croxall. The Prime Minister has pledged to spend 850 Million Pounds on nhs building projects, at 20 hospitals in england. The money over the next five years, will be used to upgrade outdated facilities and equipment. A further billion pounds is to be used to tackle a backlog in hospital improvements. Speaking on a visit to a hospital in lincolnshire, borisjohnson said his biggest task is to cut treatment waiting times. But labour has dismissed the extra money as not being enough, saying it wont fix years of cuts in the Health Service. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. Its another busy morning in the accident and Emergency Department at stockports stepping hill hospital. For years, they have struggled to cope as the number of patients seeking care has grown. But now the hospital has been given more than £30 million to build a much needed new trauma centre, which should ease some of the pressure in a e. When this was originally set up the expectation was for around 50,000 patient attendances a year. We are currently at almost twice that amount. We are approaching 100,000 patient attendances each year coming through the department. So this will be really good news for us in terms of coping with that capacity. In total, around £850 million has been promised to help with upgrades to outdated facilities and to pay for new equipment. Stepping hill in stockport is one of 20 hospitals across england that will benefit. The funding pledges part of what has been called a £1. 8 billion cash boost for the nhs. This is new money. I said ten days ago on the steps of downing street we would be upgrading 20 hospitals, 20 new hospital upgrades around the country, and this is it. We are starting in boston with 21 million going into the a e. There is no doubt this extra money is very welcome, but health think tanks say it is a drop in the ocean. With so many nhs facilities in a state of major disrepair, it will take £6 billion in total just to make up the backlog of work. But there are questions over how much of this money is actually new. This is a welcome addition of £1. 8 billion to the nhs that they can spend now that they werent able to spend before. But it is merely replacing and reversing cuts made previously to our nhs capital budget, so it is not changing the long term plans we had. Labour are accusing the government of spinning the announcement as new money, having previously raided hospital budgets to pay for day to day running costs. It looks like it is money the hospitals had already earned by cutting their costs. Ministers told them they had to cut back on their spending and if they did they would get new capital money. Then ministers blocked hospitals from spending that money. It looks like Boris Johnson has simply lifted that block on spending. A shortage of qualified staff remains a big challenge for the Health Service. Critics say New Buildings are fine but you need the doctors and nurses to work in them. Dominic hughes, bbc news, stockport. Professor Stephen Powis is the National Medical director of nhs england hes here with me now. Thank you for coming in, can you set the record straight once and for all. Of this £1. 8 billion we are talking about, where it has it come from . How much is really new . The first thing i should say as a doctor who has worked in the nhs for nearly 45 years mostly in the front line, i know how important it is that they work in modern state of the art facilities with the latest equipment so facilities with the latest equipment so this is really welcome. This is funding that hospitals will benefit from and they could use this week that they could not use last week. But it is not new funding like the labour spokesperson said, it is money given to hospitals because they made savings elsewhere. They we re they made savings elsewhere. They were told they could not spend it 110w were told they could not spend it now they can. We know governments and politicians like to take credit for finding and politicians like to take credit forfinding new money and politicians like to take credit for finding new money when they have not necessarily, is that not what is happening here . As a doctor it is welcome news. Patients would agree with it but where is it coming from . This is funding that cannot be spent last week, £1. 8 million worth of funding and schemes that we wanted to progress with that cannot be used last week that today can be used. One 8p. It could be because of the way nhs funding works. This is new cash. It is not new cash, is it . It is not new money from the treasury. It has already been given to hospitals, they were told they can haveit hospitals, they were told they can have it because they have save money elsewhere, they were given it then told they could not spend it because if they spend it it will look like the nhs is spending more than we want. Is this not the case . It is cash that can be used to deliver real benefits to patients and front line staff. Real benefits to patients and frontline staff. I understand that. We really want to understand where this money has come from and we want to understand why it cannot be spent last week even though it was being held for these capital purposes . Why couldnt it be spent on the purposes for which it can now be spent . The government decides how it is spent. This is £1. 8 billion. We are not going to get the answer are we . Why not . Because of the way that funding works across government because it has been released. How is it that it was available for Capital Spending at one point then they were told they could not spend it last week, this week they can. You say it is down to how nhs budgets are worked. How is it that this is the case . Down to how nhs budgets are worked. How is it that this is the case7m is worked across all Government Spending and £1. 8 billion worth cannot be spent on these schemes is 110w cannot be spent on these schemes is now available to spend. Why . Why . Because the mince two has made that are available to the nhs to spend. But how he has he done that . Last week it was at odds with how it was supposed to operate. There is a recognition that having gone through a period of relatively low spending in the nhs both in day to day spending but on Capital Spending for boards, beds and outpatients, the government has recognised that we need to invest in the nhs. We needed to invest last week, last month, last year. That is why it is a welcome today. Anyone who is not properly paying attention to this will think he has only been in post a week and look what he has done already. He has conjured money out of somewhere and it is not true. Already. He has conjured money out of somewhere and it is not truem is an important decision for the nhs and one that i welcome as a doctor. 1. 8 billion we cannot spend last week and we can spend this week. That will change the lives of front line working staff and the treatment that patients can get because it will lead to improvements in hospitals such as the hospital in boston that i visited a couple of weeks ago. It was very cramped and not good conditions for patients and staff, that will be transformed into a better environment for staff and patients. Boris johnson wants to cut treatment waiting times, how will having sparkling new equipment and facilities cut to treatment waiting times if you havent got any more clinicians, practitioners, to actually treat the people and use the equipment . Both are really important. And we havent got funding for that. We have got funding for that. We have got funding that the previous Prime Minister announced a year ago, she increased the spending the nhs was getting day to day, not the cap on investment. A lot of that will be going to staff so we are increasing the number of staff, paramedics, physiotherapy is in primary care to assist gps so there will be greater access to primary care. How do you do that if we had not got enough for yea rs do that if we had not got enough for years and it takes years to train nurses, doctors, paramedics and midwifes . We are currently expanding the number of medical students by 2596 the number of medical students by 25 and we have indicated that we need to keep that under review. That is six years until they come out. Absolutely, we have increased training for nurses. But you are right, it is notjust expenditure for equipment, it is investment in staff because they are the greatest asset. This is an important first step so there is more to be done but i welcome the announcement because it is1. 8 i welcome the announcement because it is 1. 8 billion of spending that will create real benefit for patients and front line staff. In an ideal world, how much money would you like for the nhs to give you all the staff, are the buildings, all the staff, are the buildings, all the equipment, all the drugs, that you need . The nhs is one of the most Efficient Health systems in the world and Many International think ta nks world and Many International think tanks have recognised that but there is always more we can do and as a doctor i am always going to say i can do more with more. This is an important first step. We had an investment last year in terms of day to day funding for the Health Service, now this is an important first step in upgrading our facilities and equipment so our wonderful staff can deliver world class wonderful staff can deliver world class care to our patients. Thank you very much. Emergency work continues to try to prevent a damaged dam in derbyshire from collapsing with the authorities saying they need at least another two days to pump out enough water. Labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn praised the Emergency Response during a visit to Whaley Bridge but called for an inquiry into the future of the dam. Charlotte gallagher has the latest. Day five of the operation to save a dam and a town. You can see the water level is reducing here but Emergency Services say there is still a threat, and people forced to leave their homes wont be allowed back until it is safe. Later today, i think it will get to a sufficient depth where an engineer can have a really good look at the Structural Integrity of the dam below eight metres, we need to know the remaining dam that is left, is that safe to keep the water in . So they want to go and have a look at that. Once we are happy that that has real Structural Integrity and can keep the remaining water in, then thats the point where we can start to say to people that they can come home. The pumps behind me are working 24 hours a day to drain the reservoir, and crucially, drop the water level even further. There has been a huge amount of disruption for residents, but many of them are doing all they can to help the operation and save the dam. On friday, this field looked like this. Now, its one of the main locations of the operation. Contractors even built a road so heavy machinery could get to the reservoir, a bit of a shock for some of the people who owned the field. All of the different teams, i dont know who they all are, were working together to build the road to transform the field into an emergency pumping station, so they were taking our walls and fences out, and heading down, taking trees out on the side of the reservoirjust to get access to put a platform to put in these superpowerful pumps. Jeremy corbyn is visiting Whaley Bridge today. You can see him here, viewing the broken dam. Obviously the water level is going to go down. That is happening. And hopefully people will be able to return to their homes. Of course, there has to be long term repair to the dam and the safety of it in the future. It will be a while before Whaley Bridge returns to normal, but there is confidence here from both the residents and Emergency Services that this huge operation is working. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. Our correspondent keith doyle is in Whaley Bridge. How are things progressing . Good afternoon from what was a rural idyllic spot a week ago. Now it is the centre of a huge engineering operation. You can see these pumps behind me, there are ten high density pumps working 20 47. You can probably exceed the emergency crews revealing co nsta ntly. Emergency crews revealing constantly. Refuelling them co nsta ntly. Constantly. Refuelling them constantly. They are taking a huge amount of water a minute. You can see in the distance, right at the water line, you can see how the water line, you can see how the water has dropped. It has dropped five metres already, they need to make it drop another three metres before they can carry out a proper inspection of the dam wall. You can see a dark line so the water is evaporating and drying out quickly, thatis evaporating and drying out quickly, that is how quickly the water is being pumped out of the reservoir. Locals are very supportive of what is going on and quite impressed by the Emergency Services and the way they are carrying out the work. This is what one woman told us a little earlier. We thought it would take weeks because the volume of water is so weeks because the volume of water is so immense and the fire ones are relatively inefficient compared to the other ones which were hugely efficient, the amount of water a day shift is astonishing. We are thinking where is the water going because all of the communities further downstream are already flooded. We were wondering where the water went but the priority is the dam because if the dam had broken, the houses in whaley and the whole community would have been washed away. How reassured residents now . There has been a meeting where residents asked many questions. The sense here is the water lover has dropped water level has dropped. A need to drop a steamer metres before they can get a proper structural examination it needs to dropa structural examination it needs to drop a few metres. The sense of that impending disaster seems to have gone and that is the feeling we are getting. They are not being complacent and sane people can go back into their homes, and people are obviously very worried. They are worried about their lives continuing on because it has been five days since these people have been out of their homes. We understand 22 people in16 their homes. We understand 22 people in 16 properties remain there. The police have been quite critical, saying they are putting themselves and the Emergency Services at risk by not leaving their properties in the exclusion zone. We are not sure when people can go back. We are told possibly today the water levels will drop below that crucial mark and engineers will be able to take a look at it. Whether it is today or tomorrow, were sure but at that stage, the engineers will be able to assess whether it is safe for people to go back into their homes. People have been very supportive, there are signs up praising the Emergency Services, they have been giving them food, sandwiches, tea, theres not a sense of anger against the services. They are happy the way things have been carried out in the main part. There is one sign up. We saw a helicopter dropping huge bags of ballast and i saw a sign, saying thank you. Thank you very much. A six year old boy is in a critical but stable condition, after reportedly being thrown from the 10th floor of the tate modern gallery in london. A 17 year old boy, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, remains in custody. Heresjon donnison. Ten floors up and the terrifying five storey drop to the roof below. The tate modern viewing platform has security railings well above adult waist height. Police believe the six year old boy may have been deliberately thrown over them. A bbcjournalist was visiting the gallery with her own young son on what was a busy sunday afternoon, and was on the platform when she says she became aware of some sort of disturbance. My first instinct was, oh my god, something is going on, and ijust felt like i must take my child and try to move out. We rushed to the exit and then on my way to the lift i met a woman who was running and she was shouting, oh my son, my son. It is something which i heard clearly. And she was crying desperately, you know. Ifelt like maybe i should help her, but i had my child and ifelt scared, i should take him out of there. After treating him at the scene, paramedics stretchered the badly injured boy out of the gallery under this blue tarpaulin. He was then airlifted to hospital. Police say he is in a critical but stable condition, and that his situation is no longer life threatening. Given the distance this young boy fell, its a miracle really that he still alive. The viewing gallery up there on the tenth remains closed today, while police try to establish exactly what happened. In a statement, the gallery said the tate is working closely with the police to help with their investigations, and that all our thoughts are with the child and his family. Police are continuing to question a 17 year old boy on suspicion of attempted murder. They say they have no reason to believe he knew the victim. Jon donnison, bbc news, at the tate modern. Our correspondentjon donnison is at the tate modern in central london. How is this investigation progressing . I think the first reaction of many people who have been down here today, including mine, as it is remarkable at this young boy is still alive. That drop has got to be around 30 metres. There will be questions about safety but the truth is, up there there are railings and barriers well above waist height so it is just not somewhere where you are going to fall from accidentally. At the moment the police had arrested this 17 year old boy on suspicion of attempted murder and they will be trying to speak to people who are up there yesterday. Of course, it was a busy sunday afternoon to find out what happened in the run up to this event where the boy fell off 30 metres down onto the roof. Thank you very much. President trump has said hate has no place in the us, after the two Mass Shootings in texas and ohio over the weekend in which a total of 29 people died. But critics say he is partly to blame for them because of his anti immigration rhetoric and opposition to gun control laws. The man arrested for the texas shooting is reported to have published an online manifesto citing hispanic immigration as his motivation for carrying it out. The president linked the killings to gunmen who were seriously mentally ill, although investigators have made no comment about the mental state of the perpetrators. Lets go over to washington now and speak to our correspodnent gary odonoghue. To these two shootings in different states, where are the investigations at in regards to them both . |j states, where are the investigations at in regards to them both . I am actually in texas rather than washington. I am at the scene of one of those shootings here in el paso where 20 people died in a supermarket on saturday. The other one was just 13 hours later in ohio where nine people died. 29 deaths in the space of 13 hours. The fbi are looking at bringing federal charges against the man who was arrested, patrick crusius. We know he published that on my manifesto and has been linked to hate speech online manifesto. He had his speech against hispanics, el paso is right by the mexican border. In an hours time the president is expected to make some comments about potential gun control legislation. He has talked any social media feeds about the idea of universal background checks which is something democrats have been pushing for a lot recently. He has tied it to the idea of immigration reform, trying to do a deal of the back of these two tragedies. We will see what he has to say in about an hours time. The calls for gun control continue, dont they . The president has said that something good, if not great, needs to come out of these tragedies. What does he mean . think he is referring to some kind of bipartisan cooperation agreement, if you like. But i think it is worth bearing in mind after the parkland shootings at the high school in florida in february last year, 17 people died there, the president said the same thing about wanting universal background checks, wanting to get that done and he met with the National Rifle association, the gun lobby here in the United States and a couple of days later, that was suddenly off the table. We will see what he has to say this time around. It is worth bearing in mind there has been a bill that has been through the bottom and has representatives in the lower house of congress, the Republican Controlled Senate has not picked that up. We are also waiting to hear whether or not these federal charges will be brought because what we are looking at here is questions of White Nationalist domestic terrorism and people want to know whether the president is going to call it out for what it is and many say he is simply not prepared to do that because he feels that will alienate the people that support him. For the moment, thank you very much. Dr afzal ashraf is assistant professor of International Relations and security at Nottingham University hes here with me now. What are the factors that push people towards the sorts of atrocities, if it appears there is some kind of hate crime behind them . It is the ideology of hate which is politicising the form of. We have different political ideologies, some describe the struggle as class, others as national, others yet to find the struggle as race and here we have a political issue in one of them which immigration. It is an issue that has been distilled into an extreme threat, an existential threat and the ideologues that peddled this ideology convince their followers that if you do not take action and do something about it, the group they are referring to, nationalist in this case, White Supremacy,. It nationalist in this case, White Supremacy,. It is nationalist in this case, White Supremacy,. It is an accidental threat. How influential is the political rhetoric that gets used . It is political rhetoric that inspires them. The degree to which the political rhetoric, the extremist political rhetoric and the mainstream political rhetoric, is connected is of course very much open to debate. Normality is something that is a critical issue here, not just something that is a critical issue here, notjust in political rhetoric but one of the major objectives of these actions is not simply to kill people but to produce a shock which will highlight their collars, which will highlight their collars, which will spread to fear, which will increase the grievance to oppression. What needs to be understood is that if these shootings become a normal date, we have about 2050 in the us, if nothing is done and this becomes an almost normal situation than those extremists from whatever background, whether they are right wing, left wing, racist, nationalist, they will need to do much more. They will need to shock more by killing more people in much more horrific ways to get attention. Surely you have to be predisposed to acting in this way and have access to the weapons to carry it out . You and i hear at the same political rhetoric, dont we . We read the same tweets on social media and postings on other websites. How much is it about your estate of mind . Websites. How much is it about your estate of mind . Those are two separate questions, of predisposition. Yes, to some degree you have to be predisposed, not necessarily psychologically. We have had nations radicalised, you have seen had nations radicalised, you have seen what happened in the second world war, we have seen what happened after the bolshevik revolution. Over 30 Million People we re revolution. Over 30 Million People were killed in some horrific way. Most people can understate in circumstances be radicalised. It is difficult for us to think of these things but history tells us otherwise. To dismiss most of these people as lunatics is oversimplified and research has proven that. Some of them do have a Mental Illness but many of them are relatively ordinary people so predisposition is, i think, an area of debate. In terms of access to weapons that is probably the single most important factor. By reducing access to weapons you can certainly reduce the incidence. You cannot totally eliminate it. The other thing we must remember is automatic weapons do tend to reduce Mass Shootings produce Mass Shootings but it was the right wing extremists who provided information on the internet from which the islamist extremists we re from which the islamist extremists were able to concoct bombs and other ways of causing mass casualties. This is not going to end with automatic weapons but taking automatic weapons but taking automatic weapons but taking automatic weapons and ordinary weapons of the Shopping List is going to make a difference. Finally, here is another simplistic question toa here is another simplistic question to a complicated set of solutions. How can the United States government get on top of this situation and prevent those groups taking ever more extreme action to grab attention . Complex but two simple things which may come out of this. One is politically, we must make political debate such that a laminate violence. Eliminates violence. You can have opposing views but never allow people to justify violence. The second thing is taking weapons of the street, especially automatic weapons. That will make a significant reduction, it will not eliminate it but it will make a significant reduction in these Mass Shootings. Thank you. A brazilian gang leader has failed in an attempt to escape from prison by pretending to be his teenage daughter when she visited him behind bars. Clauvino da silva wore a rubber mask and wig to walk out of rio prison, apparently planning to leave his daughter inside the prison, but Officials Say his nervousness gave him away. Rios state secretary of Prison Administration released a video in which da silva can be seen removing some of the clothes and the mask. Time for the weather. Mass is here. We thought it was wet in britain. India, a whole new. Exactly, we have been talking about flooding all week. It is part of the world that sees flooding at this time of year, but this is a totally different scale. Images from mumbai yesterday. Flooding is not unusual, it is the wet season. Its because of the south west monsoon. Warming up of the south west monsoon. Warming up over the summer months, over the Tibetan Plateau, we see an area of low pressure developing. In doing so, we started drawing some fairly moisture laden winds right off the arabian sea. Very warm, full of moisture. As soon as that hits the land mass, the big rain starts to fall. Some of the wet spots come up to bangladesh in north east india. Also down along the western coast. Some pretty high hills inland. That squeezes out the rain. Mumbai is on the northern portion of that. And it is here where we have seen tremendous amounts of rain. Look at these images from the weekend. This has become very common, this monsoon season. Has become very common, this monsoon season. July was one of the wettest on record. The rain continues to fall. If you take june on record. The rain continues to fall. If you takejune and july together, they had over 1500 millimetres of rain. Thats two and a half times what we see fall in york during the entire year. A huge amount of rainfall. There is more to come. Put that in perspective, tell us come. Put that in perspective, tell us what is on the way. I hate to say it, there is more rain. Nowhere near these levels. But we are going to keep a close eye on things. It is close to the height of the Holiday Season, close to the height of the Holiday Season, some close to the height of the Holiday Season, some of you might have plans outdoors. You have to pick your moments, there will be dry and sunny weather around. Thundery showers never too far away from the forecast, particularly over the next few days. Its because of where the jet stream is. Its coming out of the us and canada, living down across the mid atla ntic. The us and canada, living down across the mid atlantic. On the Northern Edge of those strong winds is where we see areas of low pressure forming. One with us today. That is going to be slowly meandering over the next couple of days. Towards the end of the week, another one is the jet stream strengthens. It will whip in towards friday at the weekend. With more extensive rain on stronger wind. The wind is not too much of a feature of the moment across the uk. But if we look back to where we are, we have got lighter wind, a bit more sunshine around at the moment, and temperatures up to 26 degrees in the south east corner. Let me focus on scotla nd south east corner. Let me focus on scotland and Northern Ireland. Here we have the showers and across northern scotland we can see them become slow moving, heavy infantry. We could see a risk of flash flooding. It will gradually ease away overnight. We start to see showers pushing on across Western Areas later. The clearest of the conditions are central and eastern parts of the country, where we will see temperatures dropping down to about nine or 10 degrees. In the west, a mile that have started to tomorrow. It is here where we start the rush hour with some showers. They will develop more widely through the day. It more of a breeze developing tomorrow. If you do see some showers, they will rattle through quite quickly. Many places could avoid them for the bulk of the day, staying dry. Scotland and Northern Ireland, where the showers form, some torrential and thundery, they will become slow moving. It is here again, the risk of flash flooding. It is the same risk on wednesday. Low pressure moving to the north east of scotland. The showers will be heaviest and most predominant across parts of scotland and Northern Ireland. Heading further south, lighter showers, further south, lighter showers, further showers, most places staying dry per temperature is lower than we have seen. If you want to enjoy more in the way up bright weather, thursday is your best bet. They will still be one or two ago showers. Later in the south west, things will deteriorate, because by friday, rain is spreading northwards and eastwards a cioss is spreading northwards and eastwards across most of the uk. Some of that will be pretty heavy and we will see strong to gale force wind. You are up to date with the latest weather. This is bbc news our latest headlines.

Police in hong kong have fired tear gas at demonstrators taking part in a general strike. Shops remained closed in several parts of the city. The strike follows a weekend of trouble on the streets on the territory between pro democracy demonstrators and riot police. Tear gas was fired at several locations while some protesters threw missiles. The strike itself has led to hundreds of cancelled flights at the airport, and disruption to train services. This morning, Hong Kong Police defended their response to the protests we can assure you that we have got the full support of the government and, of course, are doing during this tough time for the Hong Kong Police force, our officers sometimes will feel its difficult, sometimes will feel exhausted. But the Hong Kong Police force has dealt with the issue in every aspect. So as to ensure that our officers are maintained at a high level of morale and stay united. If the protesters use a certain level of violence against our officer, we will use the appropriate level of force. So i could not estimate what you mean by the maximum level, use of force. And of course, along our spectrum of the use of force, we have a lot of options. But i can assure you that we are only intending to use the minimum level of force to control any kind of disturbances or disorder situations. The Police Spokesman also dismissed suggestions that the Hong Kong Government could ask for chinas armed forces, the pla, to be brought into the territory to deal with the demonstrations. I think the government, the chief executive and other government officials, have already come on many public occasions, have assured the same. So i do not want to repeat the same here. I personally believe there wont be any chance to deport pla. Earlier we spoke to our correspondent stephen mcdonell, who is in hong kong. Yes, absolutely, there has been a marked escalation in hong kong today. In conjunction with this widespread strike, apart from shops being closed, apart from delays to airlines, apart from the cross city tunnel being blocked and the subway in chaos, these militant protesters have come from the housing block of the police where they have been throwing bricks by the dozen into that compound, smashing up buildings. The police have charged them back here, so behind here we can quicklyjust show you, i think, there is a barricade to try and slow the police down because they think they will come again and they will. Behind them, there are more protesters looking for a way out of here. It is remarkable how much more militant they have become. A few months ago, this was a peaceful movement, hundreds of thousands of people in the streets. Now they come with their masks, their home made shields, their protective gear ready for battle as this political crisis just lurches into a third month. Pakistan has accused india of acting illegally by revoking the special status of the kashmir region. The move by india will end kashmirs right to make its own laws and mean that people from outside the state will be able to buy property there. The region is disputed by india and pakistan. Each claim it in full, but control only parts of it. The two countries, both nuclear powers, have fought two wars over kashmir since the independence and partition of india in 1947 and there has been a long running insurgency on the indian side. Yogita limaye is in delhi well, this has been a part of the bjps plan, the ruling partys plan, for a long time. It was a very significant part of their election manifesto during polls earlier this year. So part of the reason, really, is to show to the voters that they have lived up to the promises that they made when they were campaigning. You know, we have been able to speak to a source in government about what is the rationale behind removing this special status for kashmir . And they say they were able to make laws that were applicable in all of india, except for kashmir. They believe the development and governance in the region was hampered because of that, they also laws related to, for example, womens rights, they couldnt make them and they could not be applied in kashmir. And that their reason for doing it. Of course, this is a with fiercely posed by politicians, as well as many people in kashmir. They see it as a promise being broken. I promise that was made at the time that kashmir agreed to become and chose to become part of india, the Princely State of kashmir, at the time of partition in 1947. At the moment, the situation in kashmir is tense. Tens of thousands of extra soldiers have been sent in for security. People are not allowed to hold big gatherings. Last night, many politicians from the region were put under house arrest. Phone and internet lines have been snapped. Jamie is here. It must be time for the Business News. First, the headlines. Hospitals in england are set to receive £850 million in funding for upgrades to outdated facilities and equipment. A 6 year old boy is in a Critical Condition after he was allegedly thrown from the tenth floor of londons tate modern art gallery. And President Trump condemns americas lastest Mass Shootings, amid accusations he bears some responsibility. Heres your business headlines on afternoon live. About 4500 staff in 153 Tesco Metro Stores are set to lose theirjobs. It is the latest round of redundancies at the uks biggest supermarket. That announcement came in the last ten minutes. The chief executive of hsbc has stepped down after the bank said it needed a change in leadership to address a challenging global environment. John flint is giving up the role he has held for 18 months by mutual agreement with the board. It comes as the firm reported a 15. 8 rise in pre tax profits. Theft cost british farmers £50 milion last year according to the rural insurer nfu mutual. The figure marks a seven year high. A 26 rise in claims for stolen farm vehicles, such as tractors and quad bikes was behind the overall increase. How are things on the chinese trade war front . Its changed. Last week was all about increasing tariffs, as mrtrump put on was all about increasing tariffs, as mr trump put on those extra tariffs on to the last 300 billion worth of imports from china going to the United States. Now it has turned to currencies. Over the last. United states. Now it has turned to currencies. Overthe last. Since thursday, the chinese currency has devalued by about 2. 5 . Around about wednesday you could get it off well, basically about 6. 8 yuan would get 1. Now it is well over seven yuan two by one dollar. So the currency is depreciating. Mr trump has been tweeting about it, saying it is market manipulation, and he has turned around to the head of the us central bank, the Federal Reserve, and said he ought to be doing something about our currency. He is not meant to say that, because the central bank is meant to be independent. To explain more about that, we should go to michelle fleury. She is at the new york stock exchange. Give us a round up of exactly what has happened and what mrtrump has exactly what has happened and what mr trump has been tweeting . Yes, so, we have seen this falling of the chinese currency, and in Donald Trumps first reaction is, as you mentioned, he basically in a tweet criticised the chinese, describing it as currency manipulation, and he called on the third, saying, are you listening . Returning to a team we have seen, trying to urge the fed to ta ke have seen, trying to urge the fed to take action. Some context, donald trump would likely Federal Reserve to act more aggressively and cut rates even more to boost the economy ina yearor so rates even more to boost the economy in a year or so before the president ial election rates. All of this as he is putting pressure on the Global Economy with his trade was. It has been driven in part by this sense that america is unfairly treated in trade and that is why we have seen him in the trade dispute, not only with china, but with the other countries. There is a trade negotiation with europe, he has had discussions with europe and canada, it is part of a theme. You can see investors very nervous about the implications of this for the Global Economy. It is playing a merry hell with the market. It certainly is. It has been a while since we have seen a morning this oakley here, where i am standing. Of late, ive been talking about marketing record highs. This ugly. That is not the case today, one trader describing it as ugly. You have the dowjones industrial average, as ugly. You have the dowjones industrialaverage, down as ugly. You have the dowjones industrial average, down about 2 . I was looking through some of the individual stocks taking a hit today. Apple was down 4 at one point and the market has only been open 20 minutes. It gives you a sense of how concerned people are about the knock on effect that these kind of things will have on demand going forward. Its notjust stocks taking a hit. You also seen price of oil falling. Again, this idea that people will be buying less if the trade dispute goes on. There was a report from Morgan Stanley saying there could be a global recession in nine months if donald trump imposed 25 tariffs on all imports for the us, and that lasted for four or six months. That has not been talked about at this point, but it gives you an idea of how nervous people are. Can he politically afforded . Its extraordinary that mr trump seems to be able to swing all the way through this, and yet the economy is crucial to him, isnt it . It is going to be one of the messages going into the president ial election, that the economy has been doing well under donald trump. Who takes credit for that . Whether that isa takes credit for that . Whether that is a continuation of work that began before his presidency is a debate for another time. But it is certainly true that the economy has made progress. The question is, what happens next. There are signs it is perhaps losing some steam, if you look at the recent jobs numbers, they were pretty good. But there we re they were pretty good. But there were signs of a slowdown. If you look at what is happening in manufacturing, there are signs of weakness. In part, that is what is driving the Federal Reserve to act. They want to make sure the expansion in america continues. So the Federal Reserve chairman does not want to be seen reserve chairman does not want to be seen to be reacting to pressure from the president to act, but it is the trade war that is driving the Federal Reserve more and more to be considering rate cuts. It will be putting pressure on the fed to act. That will be the conversation you here among traders here. Thank you. A quick look at the markets. As i say, it is having quite a bad effect on the markets. You can see the dow getting on for 2 . The ftse is down 296 getting on for 2 . The ftse is down 2 already. There are different factors working on the pound on the dollar. Heading down towards 1. 21. Against the euro it is about 1. 08. The pound is looking weak, but we all know why that is. Could you put that into pence, the other way round . That into pence, the other way round . This that into pence, the other way round . This is the way it is normally quoted. Doesnt help me. When you put in a pound, that is how many dollars you get. when you put in a pound, that is how many dollars you get. I want to know the other way. That is not the way it has done. It is howl the other way. That is not the way it has done. It is how i would like it has done. It is how i would like it to be done. It is historic. It has always been done that way. The same as the dollar, i can see, consistent. We will talk more about this later. Leading climate scientists, who are meeting in geneva, are warning that the way we use land must change, in order to prevent global warming. The uns Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is preparing a report on how intensive farming, deforestation and drained peatlands, contribute to rising temperatures. It comes after early indications suggest last month was the hottest on record. Our environment analyst, roger harrabin, has more details. Natural forests help keep the climate stable. Trees take co2 from the air and fix it into the soil through their roots. When we clear forests to grow food we reverse that process, co2 is released and fuels the unnatural heating of the climate. Ploughing the land is bad for Climate Change too. Co2 is emitted when soil contacts the air. When the land is overgrazed, that also exposes the soil and releases co2. The way that we use the land at the moment results in the sector being responsible for nearly a quarter of global Greenhouse Gas emissions. Emissions are through a number of practices, such as for example agriculture, particularly livestock farming and arable farming. But they are also associated with unsustainable practices in the way that we produce biomass such as timber or bioenergy crops. Beef and lamb farming put huge pressure on the land. The scientists and government officials meeting in geneva will debate how strongly they should advise against eating red meat. Changing our diets towards less meat and more vegetables is expected to be one of the key recommendations, because it would not only free up land that we need for feeding people, which is of course a very high priority. Its also freeing land that will need for forest production and other ecosystems production. Growing plant based fuels to replace fossil fuels like here at the drax power station in the north of england, will be controversial too. We are putting pressure on the land in so many different ways. This garden for instance used to be a lawn. The grass was sucking co2 out of the air and fixing it into the soil. The slabs are certainly not doing that. Scientists say we need to plant billions of trees to compensate with what weve done to the land. But that alone wont fix the climate. Scientists say weve still got to stop the fossil fuel emissions that are dangerously heating the planet. Roger harrabin, bbc news. Adminstrators have arrived at the harland and Wolff Shipyard in belfast, which is facing closure. Some of the workers say they have been given redundancy notices at the weekend. The yard, which built the titanic, once employed thousands of people but now has just 130 staff. Our correspondent emma vardy is in befast. There has been a development, what has happened . There has been a development, what has happened . Well, throughout this, the unions have been calling for the iconic shipyard to be renationalised, to try to save it and breathe new life into the company here. We havejust had and breathe new life into the company here. We have just had the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell arriving to show his support for the workers. Labour is also backing their calls for the government to step in here. The government says no, this is ultimately a commercial issue, the shipyard has become less commercially viable. It seems that any hopes for a last ditch solution to be found have been diminishing. The news people were expecting that the administrators will be appointed has now come in the last hour or so. You can probably see a bit of a scrum there as john you can probably see a bit of a scrum there asjohn mcdonnell is talking now. Just to explain to people, this isnt just talking now. Just to explain to people, this isntjust an issue aboutjobs, people, this isntjust an issue about jobs, and economic people, this isntjust an issue aboutjobs, and economic story for the city. This is huge historical significance. The huge yellow cranes tower over belfast and became very much a symbol of the city. In the shipyards heyday, the early 19th century, when employed more than 30,000 people, a real bustling heart of industry in belfast, where the titanic, of course, was built. But it has run into problems over the yea rs, it has run into problems over the years, declining in its ability to pick up new business. It has had money pumped and that has not worked to keep it afloat. It seems to be reaching the end of the line now. There has not been a ship built here since 2003. The shipyard has been taking on projects like building offshore wind turbines. Emma, thank you very much. Emma vardy in belfast. Time for a look at the weather.

England hanging on . Just about. Nathan lane, six with its wickets from him. Australia arejust one wicket away from winning. Thanks olly and matt has all the weather. Asi as i remember Wishful Thinking . I think it is. We could see more persistent rain by the end of the week. I will have more details in half an hour. Thanks matt. Also coming up well have the latest from hong kong where police have fired tear gas to disperse democracy activists trying to enforce a general strike. Hello, everyone this is afternoon live im martine croxall. The Prime Minister has pledged to spend 850 Million Pounds on nhs building projects, at 20 hospitals in england. The money over the next five years, will be used to upgrade outdated facilities and equipment. A further billion pounds is to be used to tackle a backlog in hospital improvements. Speaking on a visit to a hospital in lincolnshire, borisjohnson said his biggest task is to cut treatment waiting times. But labour says it wont be enough to fix years of cuts in the Health Service and there are questions both from labour and some health think tanks aboutjust how new the money is. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. Its another busy morning in the accident and Emergency Department at stockports stepping hill hospital. For years, they have struggled to cope as the number of patients seeking care has grown. But now the hospital has been given more than £30 million to build a much needed new trauma centre, which should ease some of the pressure in a e. When this was originally set up the expectation was for around 50,000 patient attendances a year. We are currently at almost twice that amount. We are approaching 100,000 patient attendances each year coming through the department. So this will be really good news for us in terms of coping with that capacity. In total, around £850 million has been promised to help with upgrades to outdated facilities and to pay for new equipment. Stepping hill in stockport is one of 20 hospitals across england that will benefit. The funding pledges part of what has been called a £1. 8 billion cash boost for the nhs. This is new money. I said ten days ago on the steps of downing street we would be upgrading 20 hospitals, 20 new hospital upgrades around the country, and this is it. We are starting in boston with 21 million going into the a e. There is no doubt this extra money is very welcome, but health think tanks say it is a drop in the ocean. With so many nhs facilities in a state of major disrepair, it will take £6 billion in total just to make up the backlog of work. But there are questions over how much of this money is actually new. This is a welcome addition of £1. 8 billion to the nhs that they can spend now that they werent able to spend before. But it is merely replacing and reversing cuts made previously to our nhs capital budget, so it is not changing the long term plans we had. Labour are accusing the government of spinning the announcement as new money, having previously raided hospital budgets to pay for day to day running costs. It looks like it is money the hospitals had already earned by cutting their costs. Ministers told them they had to cut back on their spending and if they did they would get new capital money. Then ministers blocked hospitals from spending that money. It looks like Boris Johnson has simply lifted that block on spending. A shortage of qualified staff remains a big challenge for the Health Service. Critics say New Buildings are fine but you need the doctors and nurses to work in them. Dominic hughes, bbc news, stockport. We will be going live to the white house very shortly where President Trump is due to address the United States following those Mass Shootings at the weekend in which 29 people were killed. This is the podium, we will wait and see him arrive in the next few minutes. President trump has talked about hate having no place in the United States, there was shootings taking place in ohio and texas. Lets return to the funding for hospitals. Lets talk to our political reporter pete saull about what all these means. It is quite difficult really sometimes to get to the bottom of how much of this £1. 8 billion is new money, can you account for it for us . There is a bit of a row brewing. There are two different parts. It hundred £50 million will be spread among 20 hospitals over the next five years and then £1 billion which is for maintenance improvements which have been put on hold for some time. A lot of hospital and nhs think tanks are saying this is money that trusts have been told they had to save up for and only now i be able to spend it. The government says this is entirely new funding but it is a complex picture. It has been a he said, she said on particular elements of it. How can the government be portraying it as new money . It looks like Boris Johnson has pulled a rabbit out of a hat within a couple of days of him being a Prime Minister . It is not the only funding announcement he has made. We are expecting more in the coming weeks which is why people are speculating that this looks like a government on a general election footing. It is quite unusual to get spending announcements like this in the middle of august when parliament is in recess but given the government last an mp last week in the by election, the working majority just down to the by election, the working majorityjust down to one, you can see why there is a temptation to think about an election in the future. The government says they will not be won before october the sist, will not be won before october the 31st, that deadline that Boris Johnson said do or die we will be out of the European Union but his hands might be forced. There is a confidence vote in early september, we make get a general election. The other conversation ongoing is weathered that election date could be delayed beyond october the 31st so be delayed beyond october the 31st so in effect, the country would leave with or without going to the polls. Thank you very much. Lets go to the white house and donald trump is addressing the nation after the Mass Shootings at the weekend. He shot and murdered 20 people and injured 26 others, including precious little children. Then in the early hours of sunday morning in dayton ohio another twisted monster opened fire on a crowded downtown street. He murdered nine people, including his own sister, and injured 27 others. The first lady andi injured 27 others. The first lady and ijoin all injured 27 others. The first lady and i join all americans injured 27 others. The first lady and ijoin all americans in praying and ijoin all americans in praying and grieving for the victims, their families and the survivors. We will stand by their side for ever, we will never forget. These stand by their side for ever, we will neverforget. These barbaric slaughters are an assault upon our communities and an attack upon our nation, and a crime against all of humanity. We are outraged and second by this monstrous evil, the cruelty, the hatred, the malice, the bloodshed and the terror. Our hearts are shattered for every family whose pa rents, are shattered for every family whose parents, children, husbands and wives were ripped from their arms and their lives. America weeps for the following. We are a loving nation and our children are entitled to grow up in a just, peaceful and loving society. Together we lock arms to shoulder with the grief. We ask god in heaven to ease the anguish of those who suffer and we vowed to act with urgent resolve. I wa nt to vowed to act with urgent resolve. I want to thank the many Law Enforcement personnel who responded to these atrocities with the extraordinary grace and courage of american heroes. I have spoken with Texas Governor wragg abbott and ohio government might delight as well as the mayor of el paso, texas and the mayor of dayton ohio to express their profound sadness and unfailing support. Today we send the condolences of our nation to the president of mexico and all the people of mexico for the loss of their citizens in the el paso shooting. Terrible, terrible thing. I have also been in close contact with attorney general bar and fbi director ray, federal authorities are on the ground and i have directed them to provide any and all assistance required, whatever is needed. The shooter in el paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. In one voice our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and White Supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in america. Hatred works the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul. We have asked the fbi to identify all further resources. The fbi to identify all further resources. They need to investigate and disrupt hate crimes and domestic terrorism, whatever they need. We must recognise that the internet has provided a dangerous avenue to radicalise, disturb mines and perform demented acts. We must shine light on the Dark Recesses of the internet and stop mass murderers before they start. The internet likewise is used for human trafficking, illegal Drug Distribution are so many other heinous crimes. The perils of the internet and social media cannot be ignored and they will not be ignored. In the two decades since columbine our nation has watched with rising horror and dread as one mass shooting has followed another, over and over again, decade after decade. We cannot allow ourselves to feel powerless. We can and will stop this evil contagion and in that task we must honour the sacred memory of those we have lost, by acting as one people. Open wounds cannot heal if we are divided. We must seek real solutions. We have to do that in a bipartisan manner that will truly make america safer and better for all. First, we must do a betterjob identifying and acting on Early Warning signs. I am directing the department ofjustice to work in pa Rt Department ofjustice to work in part is in partnership with local state and federal agencies as well as social Media Companies to develop tools that can detect mass shooters before they strike. As an example, the monster in the Park High School in florida had many red flags and yet took Decisive Action or did anything, why not . Second, we must stop the glorification of violence in our society. This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace. It is too easy today for a troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence. We must stop or substantially reduce deaths and it has to begin immediately. Cultural change is hard but each of us can cultural change is hard but each of us can choose to build a culture that celebrates the inherent worth and dignity of every human life, thatis and dignity of every human life, that is what we have today. Third, we must reform our Mental Health laws to better identify mentally disturbed individuals who may commit a cts disturbed individuals who may commit acts of violence and make sure those people, not only get treatment, but when necessary in voluntary confinement. Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun. Fourth, we must make sure those judged to pose a grave risk to Public Safety do not have access to firearms and that if they do those firearms and that if they do those firearms can be taken through rapid due process. That is why i have called for a red flag laws, also known as extreme Risk Protection orders. Today i am also directing the department ofjustice to propose legislation ensuring that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the Death Penalty and that this Capital Punishment be delivered quickly, decisively and without yea rs of quickly, decisively and without years of needless delay. These are just a few of the areas of cooperation that we can pursue. I am open and ready to listen and discuss all ideas that will actually work and makea all ideas that will actually work and make a very big difference. Republicans and democrats have proven that we can join together in a bipartisan fashion to address this plague. Last year we enacted the stop School Violence and fix into law, providing grants to improve School Safety and strengthening critical background checks for firearm purchases. At my direction the department ofjustice banned pump stocks. Last year we prosecuted a Record Number of firearm offences. But there are so much more we had to do. Now is the time to set destructive partisanship aside, so destructive, and find the courage to a nswer destructive, and find the courage to answer hatred with unity, devotion and love. Our future answer hatred with unity, devotion and love. Ourfuture is in our control. America will rise to the challenge. We will always have and a lwa ys challenge. We will always have and always will win. The choice is ours and ours alone. It is not up to mentally ill monsters, it is up to us. Mentally ill monsters, it is up to us. We are able to pass great legislation after all of these years we will ensure that those who were attacked will not have died in vain. May god bless the memory of those who perished in may god protect them, may god protect all of those from texas to ohio, may god bless the victims and their families. May god bless america, thank you very much. Thank you. Well, no questions from the report is there who were very keen to probe further into what donald trump has just said very keen to probe further into what donald trump hasjust said in response to those two Mass Shootings in the weekend in which 29 people we re in the weekend in which 29 people were killed and dozens more injured. He began by expressing his condolences to the families of those who died or were wounded, and he talked about those shootings being an assault on communities and an attack on our nation and a crime on humanity. He vowed to act with urgent resolve, condemned racism and White Supremacy, said there was no place for hatred in the United States and went to talk about how it was necessary to spot the Early Warning signs and act quickly to ensure that people cannot carry out these atrocities. He talked about these atrocities. He talked about the need to curb the violent video games which many people regard as entertainment and also to the Internet Companies to help them to spot the signs if somebody looks to be inclined to carry out attacks like this. Then towards the end talked about his wish that the Death Penalty is used quickly to people who commit mass murder and then finally, appeal to the democrats to work ina finally, appeal to the democrats to work in a bipartisan manner to address these crimes that we see committed in america all too often. We will hear more about that address very shortly here on bbc news. Emergency work continues to try to prevent a damaged dam in derbyshire from collapsing with the authorities saying they need at least another two days to pump out enough water. Labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn praised the Emergency Response during a visit to Whaley Bridge but called for an inquiry into the future of the dam. Charlotte gallagher has the latest. Day five of the operation to save a dam and a town. You can see the water level is reducing here but Emergency Services say there is still a threat, and people forced to leave their homes wont be allowed back until it is safe. Later today, i think it will get to a sufficient depth where an engineer can have a really good look at the Structural Integrity of the dam below eight metres, so what we really want to know is, the remaining dam that is left, is that safe to keep the water in . So they want to go and have a look at that. Once we are happy that that has real Structural Integrity and can keep the remaining water in, then thats the point where we can start to say to people that they can come home. The pumps behind me are working 24 hours a day to drain the reservoir, and crucially, drop the water level even further. There has been a huge amount of disruption for residents, but many of them are doing all they can to help the operation and save the dam. On friday, this field looked like this. Now, its one of the main locations of the operation. Contractors even built a road so heavy machinery could get to the reservoir, a bit of a shock for some of the people who owned the field. All of the different teams, i dont know who they all are, were working together to build the road to transform the field into an emergency pumping station, so they were taking our walls and fences out, and heading down, taking trees out on the side of the reservoirjust to get access to put a platform to put in these superpowerful pumps. Jeremy corbyn is visiting Whaley Bridge today. You can see him here, viewing the broken dam. Obviously the water level is going to go down. That is happening. And hopefully people will be able to return to their homes. Of course, there has to be long term repair to the dam and the safety of it in the future. It will be a while before Whaley Bridge returns to normal, but there is confidence here from both the residents and Emergency Services that this huge operation is working. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. A married father has been found guilty of murdering a student midwife who went to his church.

It is a four and about this announcement. It is a fourand a about this announcement. It is a four and a half thousand total reduction in headcount, that is what we know although tesco has said they will try to find other rules for at least some of the people who are affected. They have given us a list of the reasons why they are doing this. They are basically streamlining the operation in these Tesco Metro Stores, 153 of them. Let me give you a flavour, faster and simpler ways of filling shelves with fewer products stored in back rooms went straight to the shelves from delivery trucks, one would presume, and colleagues working more flexibly between the different operations between the different operations between the different operations between the stores and what they call a leaner Management Structure so call a leaner Management Structure so the slightly higher up jobs are going to be thinning those out as well. It sounds as though stores will remain but they will operate any different fashion . This is the latest instalment of the sort of reduction from tesco which over the last couple of years has been bringing job cuts. There were 9000 announced in january and that was taking out some of the jellyfish and meat counters in 90 stores. This entry seems to be in addition and as part of the online streaming of the business. A lot of people work at tesco so as a percentage that seems smaller but it is a lotta people they have been rid of. Seems smaller but it is a lotta people they have been rid ofm seems smaller but it is a lotta people they have been rid of. If you are one of them it will be a worrying time. Tesco is one of the biggest supermarkets in the country. Is this how it stays competitive compared with the others by making these brutal decisions . It has been a competitive time for the big supermarket. The discounters, audi and lidl coming in, taking business away from them that they have been trying to cut costs and face of that but also the total spend we are making in supermarkets has been shrinking recently. It is difficult for them and they are looking for places where they can save money, cut down on the cost of their operations and because their biggest cost in many ways is people that is where the axe tends to fall. Thank you very much. A six year old boy is in a critical but stable condition, after reportedly being thrown from the 10th floor of the tate modern gallery in london. A 17 year old boy, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, remains in custody. Heresjon donnison. Ten floors up and the terrifying five storey drop to the roof below. The tate modern viewing platform has security railings well above adult waist height. Police believe the six year old boy may have been deliberately thrown over them. A bbcjournalist was visiting the gallery with her own young son on what was a busy sunday afternoon, and was on the platform when she says she became aware of some sort of disturbance. My first instinct was, oh my god, something is going on, and ijust felt like i must take my child and try to move out. We rushed to the exit and then on my way to the lift i met a woman who was running and she was shouting, oh my son, my son. It is something which i heard clearly. And she was crying desperately, you know. Ifelt like maybe i should help her, but i had my child and ifelt scared, i should take him out of there. After treating him at the scene, paramedics stretchered the badly injured boy out of the gallery under this blue tarpaulin. He was then airlifted to hospital. Police say he is in a critical but stable condition, and that his situation is no longer life threatening. Given the distance this young boy fell, its a miracle really that he still alive. The viewing gallery up there on the tenth remains closed today, while police try to establish exactly what happened. In a statement, the gallery said the tate is working closely with the police to help with their investigations, and that all our thoughts are with the child and his family. Police are continuing to question a 17 year old boy on suspicion of attempted murder. They say they have no reason to believe he knew the victim. Jon donnison, bbc news, at the tate modern. Time for a look at the weather. Matt is here. We have been talking about the rain we have been experiencing but monsoon season. This is the scene in mumbai from yesterday. This is a wet season and we have been talking about flooding, we have been talking about flooding, we have been talking about flooding, we have seen exceptional amounts of flooding in mumbai. It is because of the monsoon season. That is the seasonal shift of winds as things heat up across the Tibetan Plateau and it draws in the air all the way up from the arabian sea. Out here, pretty warm, humid and moist, all that moist area gets pushed across india. The wet spots tend to be across the northeast in bangladesh plus a dandy western coast, the hills in land and the gaps, when the air rises the rains fall and they can be relentless. Mumbai is in that zone and they have had one of the wettest month since so had one of the wettest month since so farfora had one of the wettest month since so farfor a while. July had one of the wettest month since so far for a while. July was one of the wettest july so far for a while. July was one of the wettestjuly is on record. Seems like this have been recurring. This was only this weekend, imagine going about your daily life like this. The monsoon season has been great but has been playing catch up. They have been having well over 1500 millimetres of rain. It is about a year worth of rain fell in the cumbrian fells or in york, two and half years of rain in the space of two months. They could see another 300 millimetres in the next five days alone. It is quite an impact if you are trying to get around the country. What about here . We are going to see more rain. It could have an impact, not to this degree but there could be more thundery showers around, some torrential through this week but if you are on your summer holiday, do not lose hope. There is sunshine at times, quite warm at the moment. The weather has shifted around for the first half of this summer because instead of the jet stream beam to the north, it is to the south across canada and the atlantic. It is the Northern Area where we have areas of low pressure. It is going to only slowly move away but cast your eye out into the atlantic, deeper and more menacing and stepped to spin its way in to as the end of the week with more widespread rain and strong winds. Out there, a bit more sunshine around compared to this morning. Some of that cloud across parts of scotland, to click this loop with heavy rain across shetland, scotland and Northern Ireland. Showers across england and wales this afternoon, few and far between, the vast majority staying dry. Pretty warm and humid in the sunshine. In the evening, across the far north of scotland the showers could cause them problems. It could bea could cause them problems. It could be a lot of rain in a short space of time, travel disruption and some flooding possible. They will fade away during the night but later during the night showers return. Eastern areas dry. A fairly humid breeze down towards the south west. Tomorrow morning, in Western Areas showers will be on the go. Eastern areas, dry and bright to begin with but showers will develop widely and an area of low pressure pushing in. Around the centre winds are lighter, slow moving torrential thunderstorm is. More of a breeze across england and wales. You have a greater chance of avoiding the showers but they could push through quite quickly. Temperatures following. We are looking at high teens into low 20s for wednesday, the pressure to the east of scotland but scotland could see some slow moving torrential thunderstorms potentially, heavy showers in Northern Ireland, the us showers in Northern Ireland, the us showers in Northern Ireland, the us showers in england and wales with some searching around. If you want to get out for some enjoyment outside, the best chance of staying dry will be thursday. There will be a couple of showers and things will deteriorate because of that area of low pressure pushing its way northwards and eastwards bringing rain tojust northwards and eastwards bringing rain to just about all parts and strong to gale force winds. That position could change, stay tuned and we will keep you updated. Goodbye. This is bbc news our latest headlines.

We didnt think they would make it to the end of afternoon live. Australia winning by a huge 251 runs. England resumed on 13 without loss overnight, a highly improbable 398 required for victory, the best england could really hope for was to bat out the day and salvage a draw, but they were four down by lunch and they didnt make it to tea. This was a test match england dominated the Opening Hours of the first day, and yet a test match that australia won overwhelmingly here on the fifth day. The how, the why . Well, england will think about the selection of james anderson. Well, england will think about the selection ofjames anderson. His ca lf selection ofjames anderson. His calf injury recurred so quickly, was it right to pick him for this match . Certainly, his absence with a factor, but could even he have challenged steve smith with his supreme challenged steve smith with his supreme batting . Yeah come on the final day, it was nathan line who finished things off for australia. Could even shane warne have wrapped things up so successfully . Maybe. But the spinner is always under pressure on the final day, with the pitch a little bit wearing, and a very experienced player, bowling with nagging accuracy. Australia caught well. English dismissals, english resistance . Well, jason roy will ponder on his dismissal, a very twe nty20 will ponder on his dismissal, a very twenty20 type shot, missed the ball and bowled out by nathan line. How are england adopting after their world cup fight . Different disciplines of test match cricket. There might be a view tired minds out there, certainly amongst moeen ali. They will have to come back quickly. They will want jofra ali. They will have to come back quickly. They will wantjofra archer to come into the team and bowl quickly. To be 1 0 up away from home in an ashes series, well, that is as rare and precious as a steve smith. If you can bear it, you can watch all ten wickets to fall today on the bbc sport website. They are £80 million lighter. Manchester united have made Harry Maguire the most expensive defender in the world. Leicester city have made a profit of over £60 million on him. He signed at united for six years. For more, here is david ornstein. Manchester united have been struggling in Central Defence areas for a long time now. They have experimented with many players. Many players they have given long contracts to. A bit of an issue there. What are they going to do with them now maguire has come in . It is a huge amount of money, £5 million more than liverpool paid for Virgil Van Dijk injanuary 2018 to sign him from southampton, and what a success he has been. United will hope maguire has a similar success rate at old trafford. It is a six year contract, with an option of an extra year on top. This is a player that made 76 appearances for leicester, scoring five goals. He is now a regular england international, as we saw last time at the world cup. Manchester united will be hoping this is the signing that helps propel them back into the big time, back into contention for the major trophies. Celtic now know their path if they are to reach the group stage of the champions league. They face the romanians cluj in the third qualifying round home and away over the next week and if they come through that, czech champions slavia prague stand between neil lennons men and a place in the lucrative group stage after todays draw it could have been a lot easier. The draw for the final qualifying round of the Europa League has also been made and wolves face a tie against italians torino if they come through their next match against pyunik of armenia. If rangers reach the final qualifying round, theyll play either legia warsaw of poland or greek side atromitos while aberdeen, the new saints and linfield were also involved in todays draw full details on the bbc sport website. Thats all the sport for now. Our top story is england losing the first ashes test at edgbaston by a massive 251 runs. Thank goodness there is another want to come. Another four to come. Theyve got time to sort themselves out. Police in hong kong have fired tear gas at demonstrators taking part in a general strike. Shops remained closed in several parts of the city. The strike follows a weekend of trouble on the streets on the territory between pro democracy demonstrators and riot police. Tear gas was fired at several locations while some protesters threw missiles. The strike itself has led to hundreds of cancelled flights at the airport, and disruption to train services. This morning, Hong Kong Police defended their response to the protests. We can assure you that we have got the full support of the government and, of course, are doing during this tough time for the Hong Kong Police force, our officers sometimes will feel its difficult, sometimes will feel exhausted. But the Hong Kong Police force has dealt with the issue in every aspect. So as to ensure that our officers are maintained at a high level of morale and stay united. If the protesters use a certain level of violence against our officers, we will use the appropriate level of force. So i could not estimate what you mean by the maximum level, use of force. And of course, along our spectrum of the use of force, we have a lot of options. But i can assure you that we are only intending to use the minimum level of force to control any kind of disturbances or disorder situations. The Police Spokesman also dismissed suggestions that the Hong Kong Government could ask for chinas armed forces, the pla, to be brought into the territory to deal with the demonstrations. I think the government, the chief executive and other government officials, have already come on many public occasions, have assured the same. So i do not want to repeat the same here. I personally believe there wont be any chance to deport pla. Earlier we spoke to our correspondent stephen mcdonell, who is in hong kong. Yes, absolutely, there has been a marked escalation in hong kong today. In conjunction with this widespread strike, apart from shops being closed, apart from delays to airlines, apart from the cross city tunnel being blocked and the subway in chaos, these militant protesters have come from the housing block of the police where they have been throwing bricks by the dozen into that compound, smashing up buildings. The police have charged them back here, so behind here we can quicklyjust show you, i think, there is a barricade to try and slow the police down because they think they will come again and they will. Behind them, there are more protesters looking for a way out of here. It is remarkable how much more militant they have become. A few months ago, this was a peaceful movement, hundreds of thousands of people in the streets. Now they come with their masks, their home made shields, their protective gear ready for battle as this political crisis just lurches into a third month. Pakistan has accused india of acting illegally by revoking the special status of the kashmir region. The move by india will end kashmirs right to make its own laws and mean that people from outside the state will be able to buy property there. The region is disputed by india and pakistan. Each claim it in full, but control only parts of it. The two countries, both nuclear powers, have fought two wars over kashmir since the independence and partition of india in 1947 and there has been a long running insurgency on the indian side. Yogita limaye is in delhi well, this has been a part of the bjps plan, the ruling partys plan, for a long time. It was a very significant part of their election manifesto during polls earlier this year. So part of the reason, really, is to show to the voters that they have lived up to the promises that they made when they were campaigning. You know, we have been able to speak to a source in government about what is the rationale behind removing this special status for kashmir . And they say they were able to make laws that were applicable in all of india, except for kashmir. They believe the development and governance in the region was hampered because of that, they also laws related to, for example, womens rights, they couldnt make them and they could not be applied in kashmir. And that their reason for doing it. Of course, this is a with fiercely posed by politicians, as well as many people in kashmir. They see it as a promise being broken. I promise that was made at the time that kashmir agreed to become and chose to become part of india, the Princely State of kashmir, at the time of partition in 1947. At the moment, the situation in kashmir is tense. Tens of thousands of extra soldiers have been sent in for security. People are not allowed to hold big gatherings. Last night, many politicians from the region were put under house arrest. Phone and internet lines have been snapped. President donald trump has condemned racism, hatred and White Supremacy in an address following Mass Shootings that left 29 dead in texas and ohio. Lets go over to washington now and speak to our correspodnent gary odonoghue. Actually, lets go to el paso. You we re actually, lets go to el paso. You were listening to what President Trump had to say, recap if you would . He stuck to a very carefully worked out script. He did what american president s are expected to do any circumstances, and become what they call console in chief. There were lots of warm words for those who have died and the families of those who have been affected. And i think there was a big question mark over whether the president s would call the attacks here racist motivated, and he did that. And he called out White Supremacy. And he also talked about wanting to work for more gun control. All that, on the face of it, will be welcomed by democrats and others. But a lot of people, i will be sceptical of this change of tone. They will want to see whether it is a real change of tone orjust one for the moment. Because bear in mind it is not a matter of a week or two but we were talking about donald trump tweeting out that he wanted to send members of congress back home to where they came from, there was tweets. And we know from before, the way he has talked about immigrants invading the country, coming across the border near where i country, coming across the border nearwhere i am, country, coming across the border near where i am, cross the border from mexico, alan invasion. As an invasion. I think people will dissect his words, look at what is on offer in terms of legislative changes. The thing i will say is that these legislative plans, after every one of the shootings for the past ten, 20 years, they run into the sand, they really end up running into the sand pretty much without fail. Some changes are made, a couple of changes were made after parklands shooting in florida last year. But nothing really major. And there was an assault weapons ban, if you remember, that was time limited, there was a sunset clause on that. Thats never been brought back. And two assault rifles used in these attacks, both in texas and up in ohio as well. So, people expected those warm words from the president , those warm words from the president , those words of condolence, those words of condemnation, if you like, for race hatred and white nationalism, white supremacism. They got those. But i think there will be scepticism about the extent to which that will be the tone that lasts. Thank you very much.

Around 4,500 staff in 153 Tesco Metro Stores are set to lose theirjobs in the latest round of redundancies at the uks biggest supermarket, the company has announced. The chief executive of hsbc has stepped down after the bank said it needed a change in leadership to address a challenging global environment. John flint is giving up the role he has held for 18 months by mutual agreement with the board. It comes as the firm reported a 15. 8 rise in pre tax profits. Theft cost british farmers £50 milion last year according to the rural insurer nfu mutual. The figure marks a seven year high. A 26 rise in claims for stolen farm vehicles, such as tractors and quad bikes was behind the overall increase. How likely is it that we are heading toa how likely is it that we are heading to a recession . I was talking to an economist about this, and she said the Second Quarter of the year, the last quarter, when the figures are rejigged and looked at in more detail, you will probably find that saw a contraction of the economy. But in order to get a technical recession, youve got to have two quarters in a row shrinking. This quarters in a row shrinking. This quarter we are in at the moment is probably going to see an increase in activity, largely because people are preparing for a no deal brexit. That generally stimulate the economy. What becomes interesting is what kind of recession. Every recession is different, different people are affected. The general feeling is different, different people are affected. The generalfeeling is is different, different people are affected. The general feeling is the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Im afraid that seems to be the way it has been. It might become different this time. This is possibly one of the most predictable. We havent had a recession yet, but if we do, it is one of the most predicted ones ever, people expect one over the next year or so. People expect one over the next year or so. Laura gordon is Research Director for the resolution foundation. This is. A lot of people are predicting a recession, at some point over the next year or so. At some point over the next year or so. But your research has been looking at why it might be different from recession is we have had before . Well, what we have done, to think about what the next one might be like, is look at the last few. In the unemployment recessions of the 805 and the unemployment rece55ion5 of the 805 and 905, when unemployment went up 805 and 905, when unemployment went upa lot, 805 and 905, when unemployment went up a lot, that tended to hit hou5ehold5 at the bottom of the distribution hardest, they were most likely to find themselves out of work. In the financial crisis in 2008, we had a pay rece55ion. Work. In the financial crisis in 2008, we had a pay recession. The devaluation of the currency meant it wa5 devaluation of the currency meant it was a big, real pay squeeze that affected households most. It was evenly distributed, so both rich and poor households felt the burden of it. What we dont know is whether next time round it will be like the 805 or 905 are likely to thousands. We can look at what the previous recessions did to different types of households, but it doesnt necessarily mean next time will be the same as last time. Features of the same as last time. Features of the last recession in 2008, Interest Rates came down very sharply and that didnt happen in the 90s or 80s. To put it bluntly, they borrowed money cheaply and put it on the stock market and made a killing. So assets increased in value enormously . Yes, but the other thing that happened in 2008 was a bigoted value in sterling, which meant that real pay fell, it meant that employers let pay for, rather than causing big rises in unemployment, which is why the pain was quite evenly shared and everybody felt a pay squeeze, rather than a few people becoming unemployed. If we have a post brexit people becoming unemployed. If we have a post brexit recession, we might expect a sterling devaluation, so we might expect a sterling devaluation, so we might expect that again. We are arguing that lower income households are in a much worse place to weather that storm than they were ten years ago. Wouldnt you say lower income households are much more flexible in getting jobs, the gig economy, although many despise it, it provides short term, immediate work at a time when an economy may be under real pressure . I think lex ability in the Labour Market can help to spread the pain, to stop a big rises a recession. There was certainly some of that in what we saw in 2008. At our big concern in terms of lower income households this time around is that over ten years of weak Income Growth they have not rebuilt their savings at all. Household spending has not gone up and people are continuing to spend more on essentials. If you like, we havent spent the last ten years recovering from the last recession sufficiently to be in a good place to face the next one. Lower income households will face a ten year squeeze and are in a worse position than they were in 2007 to face another recession. Thank you very much indeed. A look at the markets, you have been complaining about the bottom figure, havent you . That isjust me. You know what, i have just you . That isjust me. You know what, i havejust done you . That isjust me. You know what, i have just done a bit of research, thatis i have just done a bit of research, that is called cable, the bottom figure. The way it is written . When it is round that way. When you quote currencies, you start with the base currency. That is your home currency, where you are living. By convention, the pound has nearly a lwa ys convention, the pound has nearly always come first, it is always regarded as the base currency, even to americans. The first transactions are done on the transatlantic cable under the sea. They still call it cable to this day. You see, i took up cable to this day. You see, i took up all the time for the markets with that, but we have learned something. Thank you. It is all red, it is going down. Two Aviation Enthusiasts are preparing to circumnavigate the globe in a 75 year old spitfire. They were due to set off from goodwood a couple of hours ago, on a journey thats expected to take four months. Our reporter tim muffet was there this morning to watch them prepare for take off. It is one of the most famous aircraft in british history, isnt it, the spitfire . And you probably havent seen one quite this colour before, its a kind of a polished aluminium. And the reason is its taking part in a very specialjourney. As you say, it is going to fly around the world, its going to take four months, 27,000 miles, and ian, you are one of the support crew, arent you . And you are a spitfire pilot yourself, although you wont be flying this one now, but what are they like to fly . I mean, absolutely amazing. Im flying the pc 12, the support aeroplane, which will be the mothership of the four months as we go around the world. But ive flown this spitfire. I flew her on wednesday last week. Im ex royal air force, battle of Britain Memorial flight, so i flown lots of spitfires over the years, but even this aeroplane already is very special. So, john romain at aircraft restoration company, he and his team have done an amazing job getting her to where she is today. But already she is iconic. I think we havent even set sail and there is something spiritual, almost magical about this aeroplane. Why do this . Whats the overriding goal . Well, im late on the team, if you like. So, ive come here to keep steve and matt out of trouble. But itsjust, its an iconic aeroplane, isnt it . The shape is world renowned. So, if we can take that around, and all of the sponsors, and the people who are supporting us, and we can take that and show it around the world, showcase it around the world. Then its the adventure spirit, its aviation, its the pure essence of aviation, and taking that adventure spirit around the world. And were going with petwood bear, hes actually leading this whole thing, so hes flying hes already flown in a typhoon on a display at lancaster, four spitfires, and hes coming with us. 0k. And you can follow him on facebook as petwood bear. Ok, well, thanks very much indeed, thank you, petwood, ian, best of luck. We are going to have a quick chat to someone else whos got a very special connection to spitfires. Jenny, tell us about your father, and what his role was when it came to the history of the spitfire . Well, my father was the first man ever, sorry, i beg your pardon, he was the second man to fly to test the spitfire. And he was the second man ever to fly it. How does it feel to be so close to this one, which is going on this historical journey . Oh, absolutely amazing, this is the most beautiful machine. Honestly, it brings tears to my eyes, it is so iconic, and i wish it. I hope this will. Go around the world, and spread a lot of good. Bonhomie and everything. Spitfires have been such an important thing for your family, but there is something about them, isnt there, they get to your heart . Oh, they do. I must say, the concorde was the other aircraft that really has such an iconic. Just so wonderful, it really is. You know, if it hadnt been for a woman called lady houston, i dont think the spitfire would have ever have got off the ground. Because the government, at the time, would not give any money, because i think they felt that more was not imminent. And lady houston gave £100,000 for the development of the schneider trophy, which gave birth to the spitfire. And even then, 1936 was the maiden flight of the spitfire, and it did not come into production. And my father and jeffrey quill, the two pilots, then spent two years bringing the aircraft into production. It is a fascinating story, jenny, thank you ever so much indeed. And what an amazing sight it is. Theyve made several changes, obviously all of the armaments had been taken off. Theyve coloured it this colour, partly because they didnt want a military looking aircraft to be flying some of the countries across the world as it makes its historical journey. Its due to take off at about 1 30pm this afternoon. First to scotland, then it goes westwards around the globe. It is thought it would take some four months. What a journey it will be. Now its time for a look at the weather with matt taylor you are on your Summer Holidays and wa nt you are on your Summer Holidays and want a bit of time outdoors, you might want to take telemark a choose your time wisely. A changeable week. You will get some sunshine, but thundery showers around, particularly the further north we are. It is all about the position of the jet stream. Tipping southwards, across the mid atla ntic the jet stream. Tipping southwards, across the mid atlantic towards us. On the cooler side of the jet stream where areas of lower pressure form. One sitting with us for the next few days will produce slow moving thunderstorms. Later this week, notice the jet stream developing. Friday, more extensive areas of rain and strong to gale force winds. For this afternoon, more of you will sit ina sunshine this afternoon, more of you will sit in a sunshine than many did this morning. One area of cloud clearing away from eastern areas. Some showers in this cloud for scotland and Northern Ireland, more persistent rain across shetland. A little bit on the humid side, temperatures into the mid 20s for one of two. Through this evening, parts of scotland and Northern Ireland, slow moving thunderstorms particularly northern scotland, could cause travel disruption. The risk of minorflooding. Could cause travel disruption. The risk of minor flooding. Showers will keep going across Western Areas, becoming more frequent later on in Northern Ireland, western scotland, wales and may be the south west. Central and eastern area should stay dry overnight. Like recent nights, a fresh enough at night. Temperatures ten or 14 degrees. Not too chilly. A woman of stock for tuesday morning. Already going through the morning rush hour in the west. They will develop more widely through the day. Pushing through quite smartly through england and wales. Some of you will slip between the showers altogether. If you do see one, it will work through quite quickly. Slow moving showers across scotland and Northern Ireland and lighter wind. This is again where we could see some minorflooding wind. This is again where we could see some minor flooding and travel disruption. High teens, mid 20s. Showers heaviest to the low pressure, to the north east of scotland. Thunderstorms, with that flood risk. One or two marker heavy showers for Northern Ireland. Lighter, fewer showers across england and wales with a bit more in the way of sunshine. Thursday is your best bet for having a greater chance of staying dry. There will be a few showers around and things will deteriorate towards the south west later on. Thats because by friday this area of rain will sweep northwards across the country, accompanied by strong to gale force wind. Goodbye for now. Hello, youre watching afternoon live im martine croxall.

Also coming up we go nationwide and hear the story of a girl who has Downs Syndrome and has been told shes not eligible for funding for a walking frame. Hello everyone this is afternoon live im martine croxall. The Prime Minister has pledged to spend 850 Million Pounds on nhs building projects, at 20 hospitals in england. The money over the next five years, will be used to upgrade outdated facilities and equipment. A further billion pounds is to be used, to tackle a backlog in hospital improvements. Speaking on a visit to a hospital in lincolnshire, borisjohnson said he his biggest task is to cut treatment waiting times. But labour says it wont be enough to fix years of cuts in the Health Service and there are questions aboutjust how new the funding really is. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. Its another busy morning in the accident and Emergency Department at stockports stepping hill hospital. For years, they have struggled to cope as the number of patients seeking care has grown. But now the hospital has been given more than £30 million to build a much needed new trauma centre, which should ease some of the pressure in a e. When this was originally set up the expectation was for around 50,000 patient attendances a year. We are currently at almost twice that amount. We are approaching 100,000 patient attendances each year coming through the department. So this will be really good news for us in terms of coping with that capacity. In total, around £850 million has been promised to help with upgrades to outdated facilities and to pay for new equipment. Stepping hill in stockport is one of 20 hospitals across england that will benefit. The funding pledges part of what has been called a £1. 8 billion cash boost for the nhs. This is new money. I said ten days ago on the steps of downing street we would be upgrading 20 hospitals, 20 new hospital upgrades around the country, and this is it. We are starting in boston with 21 million going into the a e. There is no doubt this extra money is very welcome, but health think tanks say it is a drop in the ocean. With so many nhs facilities in a state of major disrepair, it will take £6 billion in total just to make up the backlog of work. But there are questions over how much of this money is actually new. This is a welcome addition of £1. 8 billion to the nhs that they can spend now that they werent able to spend before. But it is merely replacing and reversing cuts made previously to our nhs capital budget, so it is not changing the long term plans we had. Labour are accusing the government of spinning the announcement as new money, having previously raided hospital budgets to pay for day to day running costs. It looks like it is money the hospitals had already earned by cutting their costs. Ministers told them they had to cut back on their spending and if they did they would get new capital money. Then ministers blocked hospitals from spending that money. It looks like Boris Johnson has simply lifted that block on spending. A shortage of qualified staff remains a big challenge for the Health Service. Critics say New Buildings are fine but you need the doctors and nurses to work in them. Dominic hughes, bbc news, stockport. Chris hopson is the chief executive of nhs providers the Membership Organisation for nhs acute hospitals. Hes here with me now. Thank you for coming in, and much of the backlog are we looking at that across england hospitals are trying to cope with in terms of the facilities that need addressing . Hospital Community Ambulance and Mental Health trust, there is a £6 billion backlog of which 3 billion is safety critical and i can explain a bit more what that means. That is before you take in account of what is needed to effectively upgrade the hospital but also invest in, for example, new equipment. The safety critical bit, effectively trust are asked to provide an annual return of what they backlog is and they will record on that. There are asked to record on that. There are asked to record what they think is safety critical. I have too many trust executives telling us they are nervous about fire risk. One hospital i visited recently had to crash close its intensive treatment unit because it was unable to get the capital to repair a leaking roof and what it was coursing down the walls with lots of very important electrical High Technology kit. We have got Mental Health trusts which are trying to treat seriously ill Mental Health patients in wards that we re Mental Health patients in wards that were built in the 40s, the 1840s, not the 1940s. There is a real sense of over the last nine years of austerity we scrimped and saved, made due and amend that we have reached the point where we have got to update our crumbling estate. The 1. 8 billion is a welcome announcement, it will help but it can only be the first damp earth down payment. The first approach to be built our nhs. Some of this money was already being held by hospitals but they just werent allowed to spend it. There has been an interesting debate about whether this is new money or not. I could bore you for britain on the details of treasury accounting rules but in the words of our in house expert at our organisation, if the nhs Capital Spending limit is increased it is extra and new money. The nhs expenditure limit for this year has been increased so it is new money but the wait they think tanks have been describing this is also correct and that some of the funding will come out of provide a cash balances. Ina come out of provide a cash balances. In a sense both are right but we think it is a little bit unfair and disingenuous to not say this is extra new money because in our definition, it is extra new money. Thank you for clarifying that, it has been difficult to get to the bottom of it. It is welcome. Where does it leave you in terms of what borisjohnson does it leave you in terms of what Boris Johnson wants to does it leave you in terms of what borisjohnson wants to do, reducing treatment waiting time. Great to have new facilities and modern facilities, but what about the nurses and petitioners we hospital to treat us . All of us in the nhs would say it is a challenging period for the service. After nine years of austerity we are struggling in certain areas. We have hundred thousand staff vacancies which is a very large number, it is almost 10 of the workforce. We do need to address those issues and the announcement today, whilst it is welcome, absolutely needs to look at not only how we are going to rebuild our estate, not how we invest in the diagnostic equipment we need to improve cancer outcomes but how are we going to address those workforce issues. In a sense, a good first step and i do not think we should be mealy mouthed. I think if the government does the right thing, we are one of the biggest critics of some of the things the government has done but today i think we should acknowledge this is a good first step. There is another nine, 11, 12 steps which need to follow behind it. Thank you for coming in. President trump has said america must unite against hate to prevent more Mass Shootings following the two in texas and ohio over the weekend in which a total of 29 people died. Mr trump has faced accusations that his rhetoric has encouraged racial hatred. In a televised address to the nation, he condemned bigotry and White Supremacy, and called for Gun Control Reforms to stop those he called a grave risk to Public Safety getting hold of firearms. He said those who commit hate crimes and mass murder should face the Death Penalty. Federal authorities are on the ground and i have directed them to provide any and all assistance required, whatever is needed. The shooter in el paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. In one voice our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and White Supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in america. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul. We have asked the fbi to identify all further resources. They need to investigate and disrupt hate crimes and domestic terrorism, whatever they need. We must recognise that the internet has provided a dangerous avenue to radicalise, disturb minds and perform demented acts. We must shine light on the Dark Recesses of the internet and stop mass murderers before they start. The internet likewise is used for human trafficking, illegal Drug Distribution and so many other heinous crimes. The perils of the internet and social media cannot be ignored and they will not be ignored. In the two decades since columbine our nation has watched with rising horror and dread as one mass shooting has followed another, over and over again, decade after decade. We cannot allow ourselves to feel powerless. We can and will stop this evil contagion and in that task we must honour the sacred memory of those we have lost, by acting as one people. Open wounds cannot heal if we are divided. Around 4,500 staff in 153 Tesco Metro Stores are set to lose theirjobs in the latest round of redundancies at the uks biggest supermarket. The company said the metro format was originally designed for larger, weekly shops, but now nearly 70 of customers use them as convenience stores, buying food for that day. With me now is emily hardy, business and markets reporter for the financial website this is. Just expand a little bit more on why tesco is doing this now. just expand a little bit more on why tesco is doing this now. I think it is having to make some difficult choices, as we all know it is a tough Retail Market at the moment and tesco like many of its retail cou nterpa rts and tesco like many of its retail counterparts is having to chew the fat a little. In the Format Stores we are talking about, they are not being used as they are intended, they need to make some changes. Being used as they are intended, they need to make some changesm terms of prices, shoppers and tesco would have seen them go up recently on some staple goods, wouldnt they . There were some reports about rising prices. To be honest, all of the supermarkets are currently trapped in this price war and in general, they are working hard to bring prices down so they can compete with little. No supermarket is going to wa nt to little. No supermarket is going to want to be the most expensive but costs are increasing so if they are rising that is a sign of some of the pressures that uk grocers are facing. To what extent is this a phenomenon that other retailers are facing as well . The sensible retailers are having to be quite serious and look at how they can mitigate some of the. A lot of them have been hit by a weak pound so them have been hit by a weak pound so there cost of the imports have gone up. The ones that will stick around for the long run will take a ha rd around for the long run will take a hard look at themselves and ask how they can be more sustainable. Hard look at themselves and ask how they can be more sustainablem hard look at themselves and ask how they can be more sustainable. It is a competitive market. Sorry, i have lost you. Can you hear us . We were losing you a moment ago . Can you hear us . Losing you a moment ago . Can you hearus . No, we losing you a moment ago . Can you hear us . No, we have lost her. That was emily heidi from this is money financial website. Thank you for talking to us. Emergency work continues to try to prevent a damaged dam in derbyshire from collapsing with the authorities saying they need at least another two days to pump out enough water. Labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn praised the Emergency Response during a visit to Whaley Bridge but called for an inquiry into the future of the dam. Charlotte gallagher has the latest. Day five of the operation to save a dam and a town. You can see the water level is reducing here but Emergency Services say there is still a threat, and people forced to leave their homes wont be allowed back until it is safe. Later today, i think it will get to a sufficient depth where an engineer can have a really good look at the Structural Integrity of the dam below eight metres, we need to know the remaining dam that is left, is that safe to keep the water in . So they want to go and have a look at that. Once we are happy that that has real Structural Integrity and can keep the remaining water in, then thats the point where we can start to say to people that they can come home. The pumps behind me are working 24 hours a day to drain the reservoir, and crucially, drop the water level even further. There has been a huge amount of disruption for residents, but many of them are doing all they can to help the operation and save the dam. On friday, this field looked like this. Now, its one of the main locations of the operation. Contractors even built a road so heavy machinery could get to the reservoir, a bit of a shock for some of the people who owned the field. All of the different teams, i dont know who they all are, were working together to build the road to transform the field into an emergency pumping station, so they were taking our walls and fences out, and heading down, taking trees out on the side of the reservoirjust to get access to put a platform to put in these superpowerful pumps. Jeremy corbyn is visiting Whaley Bridge today. You can see him here, viewing the broken dam. Obviously the water level is going to go down. That is happening. And hopefully people will be able to return to their homes. Of course, there has to be long term repair to the dam and the safety of it in the future. It will be a while before Whaley Bridge returns to normal, but there is confidence here from both the residents and Emergency Services that this huge operation is working. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. Our correspondent keith doyle is in Whaley Bridge for us. As you heard, this was a quiet rural fields are just a week ago and now it is the centre of this huge engineering operation. Behind me we saw a number of pumps, ten engineering operation. Behind me we sawa number of pumps, ten pumps engineering operation. Behind me we saw a number of pumps, ten pumps and pumping tens of thousands of litres of water out of this reservoir. In the reservoir there is another 12 pumps pumping just twice as much. If the camera can move around, you can see how the water level is dropping. Every hour it drops by approximately 0. 1 metres. Iwanted every hour it drops by approximately 0. 1 metres. I wanted to get it down by eight metres. It is now down by five. 9 metres. That is another 24 hour is to go before the water gets down below that ate metre mark. Once it gets to there, that is the stage they can get inspectors and Structural Engineers and to have a look. At that stage, and only at that stage will be be able to say whether it is safe. The many hundreds of people, one and half thousand people, who have been evacuated want to know when they can get back into their homes. The authorities are saying they will not be able to tell them until that vital inspection is carried out and hopefully that is at some stage early tomorrow but people are being very stoic around here. This field is owned by local people and they are saying they have been very willing for the authorities to come in and do what they had to do but they are saying the destruction is nothing compared to the disruption and inconvenience to the hundreds of people in the village below. They will be desperately wanting to get back into their homes but the Emergency Services have been treated really well here. People have been given cups of tea and sandwiches, i have seen signs up thanking the Emergency Services. One in reference to the tunic helicopters dropping tonnes and tonnes of ballasts on the dam over the weekend, there was a sign on the street saying, thank you to the Emergency Services, keep your tunic up. Chinnok up. To discuss this further we are joined by dirk luger a geotechnical expert at deltares a Dutch Research institute for water and soil. What is your assessment of the approach they have been taking with this dam in derbyshire . The actions they have been taking as far as i have seen, are precisely what they should do. Indeed lowering the water level, making sure the spillway is not being used any more because that is clearly the stretch that had been clearing. It is precisely what has to be done and i think lowering the water level, making sure by inspection what is really happening, what the status of the dam is and i think this is the correct approach and provides sufficient information and provides sufficient information and safety for the People Living downstream. How often should a structure like this be tested given the amount of stress it is under . That is very hard to tell because it depends on the details of the construction itself. You have to make a distinction between the main dam itself which has been there for a very long time and the spillway because they have different functions. The spillway is for the water flow and has a different characteristic. The way you would expect to be different and may be the frequency. It depends on the kind of details of the structure that are in place. How similar is the situation in the netherlands with the dams you have there . Well, you have to look at two different aspects. On one hand, it is the kind of construction we have, contrary to many other countries, the netherlands are quite flat of the dams are really dikes that provide protection against flooding and not providing water as a reservoir. The higher dams are an exception, not a rule. That is the construction part. The other part is, how are we inspecting and maintaining the dams . There is a historic system in place in the netherlands with water boards, we are the oldest bodies of regulating this part of the safety all over the country. That is a bit different. It has been long standing to do that in the netherlands and that works quite well with inspections and laws that impose certain safety levels which are indeed being enforced and maintained. How much has technology improved to enable you to monitor the safety and the strength of these structures . The safety and the strength of these structures . Well, quite a bit of developments have been going on over the recent years. To see that applicable to the dikes in the netherlands as well as dams worldwide, what has been done now at the dam you are speaking about, monitoring displacement from remote stations is something that was not easily done in the past are not as accurately. Also in situations where dams are doing their normal service, you can follow the dam and settle m e nts you can follow the dam and settlements or displacements in the water log and that can be from ground stations or Remote Sensing satellites. Another technique is using infrared to check on the heat signature of the dam. It will be obvious if the dam itself would be leaking down the wet spots would be colder than other parts and for instance, in the spillway, if there is concrete place, if they are lying on the soil or there is a gap underneath them that would show up on infrared because the list line slab would warm up and cooldown easily so it would have a different temperature signature. And many other techniques that were not available at a time that the dam was built on the spillway was built. We appreciate you talking to us this afternoon, thank you. You are welcome, i am glad to do that. The Health Secretary matt hancock has warned rebel conservative mps that they cannot stop Boris Johnson taking britain out of the eu in a no deal brexit. Mr hancock who had previously argued that parliament would not allow no deal, said he has changed his analysis in the light of last months commons votes. Here he is speaking to Nick Robinson on radio 4s today programme. There were votes in parliamentjust before we rose for the summer that i thought would stop a no deal brexit and were actually defeated. There was a vote in particular in the middle of the leadership contest where parliament was asked if it wanted to stop a no deal brexit, i thought that would go through and in fact, the government won by 11. That has changed my mind because the parliamentary arithmetic did not play out as i anticipated. So your message to the people in your own party, including the former chancellor, bear in mind, who say they want to block a no deal brexit, they will be able to block a no deal brexit, is, well, iwould agree, it would be desirable but it simply cannot happen and will not happen. Well, my view has always been that we have got to deliver on the result of the referendum and i think that the best way to do that is with a deal and the government as a whole, of course, that is best done with a deal. But we need to deliver on the 31st of october. To further discuss the likelihood of a no deal brexit we are joined by Vernon Bogdanor professor of politics at the new college of the humanities. Thank you very much for coming in. A lot of opinions being expressed on social media about this but what are the facts . Can parliament stop a no deal brexit in time before october the 31st . In theory it can, in practice it is very, very difficult. There are two ways by which parliament can do this. The first would be if mps took over the agenda from the government, if they repealed the Standing Order given the government president s in house of commons business. That was done in april by Yvette Cooper and oliver letwi n in april by Yvette Cooper and Oliver Letwin required theresa may to get an extension to the brexit arrangements. The second way by which parliament might conceivably stop a no deal brexit would be to vote no confidence in the government and then you would either have another government or you would have another government or you would have a general election. Lets deal with the first bet if we can. Those options that require legislation, how much time is there between now and octoberfor them how much time is there between now and october for them to how much time is there between now and octoberfor them to do how much time is there between now and october for them to do that, given the fact we have the summer recess . Given the fact we have the summer recess . You would require legislation, a simple motion or expression of parliament which has no legal effect whatsoever. There is not much time. Parliament comes back on september the 3rd, less than two months before were due to leave the European Union on october 31. There is not much time and you need to get legislation through the brexit date of the 31st of october is the default position. That means if there is no legislation, whatever Parliament Says we read on the 31st. If there was no confidence vote on the government and could be an alternative government put in place, how likely are they be any better off than the current government giving the arithmetic is, they say . Youve got 14 days to choose another government. The obvious course if the Prime Minister resigns after defeating a no confidence vote would be for the queen to carljeremy corbyn, the reach of the opposition who is the only person can move such a vote. The leader. Jeremy corbyn would not get a majority in parliament so i think it would be the liberal democrats underjo swinsons leadership. The alternative would be a government formed specifically for the purpose of preventing a no deal brexit under someone of preventing a no deal brexit under someone such as Yvette Cooper who i mentioned earlier. That is unlikely perhaps but it is possible. Imagine a general election but that might not take place even if it was called before the 31st of october. The general election could be after that and then there is a question of what to do about the so called caretaker convention. The caretaker conventions says you cannot have any new policy measures or at legislation during that period in which an election is called. The remainers, i suppose, which an election is called. The remainers, isuppose, might which an election is called. The remainers, i suppose, might say, well, look, parliament has already decided by an expression or well that it decided by an expression or well thatitis decided by an expression or well that it is not want a no deal brexit. But the government would save this bill is on the statute book and that is the status quo. There is no real answer to this problem. Would you like to hazard a guess as to what the outcome would be . The default position is a no deal brexit. It would take a great deal to alter that. The default position is a belief on the 31st of october and if there is no deal agreed which looks very, very difficult to negotiate a new deal in that shot period of time then we leave without a deal. That is looking more likely at the moment thanit looking more likely at the moment than it was in the past. Great to talk to you, thank you very much. Police are still trying to exstablish why a six year old boy was reportedly thrown from a viewing platform at the tate modern in london. A 17 year old has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Our correspondent ben ando is at tate modern. Tell us how the investigation is progressing . What the police are doing at the moment is trying to ascertain exact what happened. The gallery has been open today, people are streaming out. Its about an hour and are streaming out. Its about an hourand a are streaming out. Its about an hour and a half until the gallery closes. Tate modern is one of the uks most popular destinations for tourists, with around 6 million coming here last year. What we know about this boy is that he is french, his family is from france. He is Still Critical but stable in hospital. I can give you a sense of where this happened. If we move the camera up where this happened. If we move the camera up you will be able to see on the tenth floor of the new block, the tenth floor of the new block, the extension to the tate modern gallery, you can see the viewing platform with quite a hefty and sturdy looking railing that reaches up sturdy looking railing that reaches up to above waist height. That is one of the questions that is being asked, how could a small six year old boy get over railings that high. Police are questioning a 17 year old in custody at the moment. The boy himself is being treated in hospital. He was airlifted away from here by helicopter. We havent been told which hospital is shooting him. Critical but stable is his condition at the moment, which is better than when he was first injured. He fell about five stories from the viewing platform down to the top of a floor five stories below. Beyond that, the police are appealing for witnesses. They want to talk to anybody on the viewing platform or in the gallery who saw what happened or may have information about what happened. We also assume that they will be reviewing cctv from the gallery to give them an idea of exactly what took place on the viewing platform yesterday. Ben, thank you very much. Lets look at the Weather Forecast now. A bit more sunshine around compared to this morning across many parts of the uk. We still have a view showers here and there. The showers and Eastern England are clearing off. More persistent rain into shetland on the spots of blue you can say on the charter could ramble into thunderstorms of northern scotland during the rest of today. That could have an impact with some very large rainfall totals in a short space of time. For most, sunshine and warmth. Into the evening, that translates into a quiet and dry and i threw southern and eastern areas. More cloud and further showers pushing back into the west later. A fairly muqqy back into the west later. A fairly muggy night to the south west corner, with temperatures not below 15 degrees. The showers there at first light across western parts of the uk will develop widely across the uk will develop widely across the uk, pushing through quite smartly in the breeze for england and wales. Some stay completely dry. Heavy and thundery downpours for Northern Ireland and northern half of scotla nd Northern Ireland and northern half of scotland in particular, where there could be an impact. Feeling cooler, a week where you are going to be dodging the showers at times, with more persistent rain towards the end of the week.

They have experimented with many players. Many players they have given long contracts too. A bit of an issue there. What are they going to do with them now maguire has come in . It is a huge amount of money, £5 million more than liverpool paid for Virgil Van Dijk injanuary 2018 to sign him from southampton, and what a success he has been. United will hope maguire has a similar success rate at old trafford. It is a six year contract, with an option of an extra year on top. This is a player that made 76 appearances for leicester, scoring five goals. He is now a regular england international, as we saw last time at the world cup. Manchester united will be hoping this is the signing that helps propel them back into the big time, back into contention for the major trophies.

That is all your support for now. Now on afternoon live, lets go nationwide and see whats happening around the country in our daily visit to the bbc newsrooms around the uk. In cambridge this afternoon, janine machin. Shell be updating us on how the £1. 8 billion of nhs funding pledged by borisjohnson will affect a hospital in luton. Emily anderson is in nottingham with a story of a fundraiser underway to finance a walking frame for a 9 Year Old Girl living with Downs Syndrome. Shes been told by the nhs shes not eligable for funding. More on that in just a moment. But first, lets go over to cambridge and janine machin. As weve been reporting today, borisjohnsons pledging to provide additionalfunding for the nhs and luton is one of the biggest winners. It absolutely is. Almost £100 million, in fact, it absolutely is. Almost £100 million, infact, is it absolutely is. Almost £100 million, in fact, is coming to the luton and dunstable. 99. 5 million, really. In fact, luton and dunstable. 99. 5 million, really. Infact, only luton and dunstable. 99. 5 million, really. In fact, only one gets more. And even then, only marginally so. As you might expect, they are absolutely delighted. This is money for building work. So how they are going to use it is to build a brand new 5 storey block. Its going to have new facilities for things like critical care, there will be new maternity neo natal facilities. Essentially it will replace some parts of the hospital that are absolutely desperately in need of updating and have been for a very long time. A lot of hospitals could say the same thing. Why has luton been such a winner in this . Well i guess, as with all of these things, it depends who you ask. There are some that say that if Boris Johnson wa nts to some that say that if Boris Johnson wants to call a general election anytime soon, he will need to win over some labour lands, and that is what luton is, as is norwich, which also did quite well out of the announcement. There is no doubt that bedfordshire also has some mps who have been in positions to be heard. People like andrew salute, a member of the health and social care select, he has been lobbying hard for this investment. If you are not one of the sceptics you can look at the situation and see it as an investment that benefits a huge area. The luton and Dunstable Hospital and bedford hospital, which lies about 20 miles north of that, they have been trying to pursue a mergerfor some time. They have been trying to pursue a merger for some time. They have they have been trying to pursue a mergerfor some time. They have been very concerned that individually they cannot guarantee the future of vital services. Bosses sayjoining forces m ea ns vital services. Bosses sayjoining forces means they are both more secure and can attract staff more easily, they can offer the best options to patients. This funding will allow them to press ahead further with those plans. I guess there are some, quite rightly so, questioning whether money is coming from. But i think it bedfordshire, if you ask me, they are simply glad it is coming their way. I will be talking to the hospital deputy chief executive tonight at 6. 30. Now, a nine Year Old Girl from leicestershire who has Downs Syndrome, has been told by the nhs shes not eligible for funding for a walking frame that could help her become more mobile. Emily, tell us the background to this. Yes, good afternoon. Macy page from leicester not only has down syndrome, but she has had multiple operations to repair the hole in her heart and rebuild her hipjoints. But her parents say that the leicestershi re but her parents say that the Leicestershire Partnership trust will not pay for the walking frame she needs, as she would only be using it for leisure purposes, as they call it. Her mum is trying to raise more than £2000 to buy one for her. The family say all macy wants now is to be able to walk. At the nhs trust has taken away this opportunity, they say, despite the support of doctors. Why do her family think that this frame is so important . Macy has to have daily physiotherapy to build the strength in her legs to enable her to stand and walk. The family say time is running out, with every passing month, and the chances of her being able to walk are slipping away further. Any progress she has made during term time we have already lost, i believe. She put on weight because she is not exercising every day. Her balance becomes more precarious, she is not sleeping well at night because she is not getting at night because she is not getting a physical exercise and stimulation. Will help as she had . She has had some help. She received a local Education Service funded walking frame last september. A policy dictates she is only allowed to use it in school, Staff Shortages means she spends half the time in it she should do. That is why samantha has turned to new life, a charity for disabled children that is helping the local community to raise more than £2000 to buy this of equipment. We are calling on nhs trusts on ccgs to consider their policies and consider whether writing children off like macy and five, six, seven, eight years of age, is really the right thing to do. It is not enabling children and not telling them they can be the best they can be. I dont know who decides that walking with a frame is less important than me walking without one. But i think the children like macy should have the opportunity. New life says that macy is just one of 47 children in the east midlands on their waiting list and its desperate need of specialist disability equipment, costing a total of almost £90,000. Money raised above the amount needed for macy to have a walking frame will be used to help other disabled and terminally ill children in need. What has the Partnership Trust had to say . In a statement, well they say it is not appropriate for them to go into individual cases, but physiotherapists always assure that needs are fully addressed and funded, taking family wishes into account to enable optimum mobility. They add that when they have additional equipment requested, they actively support Grant Funding applications, and hopefully with the support of the trust and the local community, macy will get the frame the family want sooner, rather than later.

Breaking news regarding the strike that was due to take place tomorrow at heathrow airport, involving thousands of workers. It is now off. Lets get the latest from our transport correspondent tom burridge. Tell us what the announcement has been. Good news, the strike tomorrow is off, as you say. I have just the strike tomorrow is off, as you say. I havejust come the strike tomorrow is off, as you say. I have just come off the phone to heathrow. The unite union, representing maintenance workers and firefighters, they were due to walk out tomorrow, midnight tonight, essentially. There was a strike at one point planned for today as well. The strike action was suspended late yesterday. They went back into talks today at acas, the mediation service, the union and heathrow. And essentially heathrow has come up with a better pay offer for workers at the airport. Unite have accepted that, they have cancelled the strike for tomorrow. There are two strikes day is still on the cards, the 23rd on 24th of august. Those strikes remain scheduled as things stand. Why . Why are those two date still in play . I think because the negotiation has called the immediate strike action off, but they are still in the talking game to some extent. I think they are keeping that on the table as a bargaining chip, as the two sides continue to talk. The immediate deal has meant that tomorrows strike action is off. Tom burridge, thank you. Jamie is here. Lets look at the Business News in a moment. First, the headlines. Hospitals in england are set to receive 850 Million Pounds in funding for upgrades to outdated facilities and equipment. A six year old boy of french nationality is in a stable, but Critical Condition in hospital after he was allegedly thrown from the tenth floor of londons tate modern art gallery. President trump says the us must condemn bigotry, racism and White Supremacy following Mass Shootings in texas and ohio heres your business headlines on afternoon live. Around 4,500 staff in 153 Tesco Metro Stores are set to lose theirjobs in the latest round of redundancies at the uks biggest supermarket, the company has announced. The chief executive of hsbc has stepped down after the bank said it needed a change in leadership to address a challenging global environment.

Theft cost british farmers £50 milion last year according to the rural insurer nfu mutual. The figure marks a seven year high. A 26 rise in claims for stolen farm vehicles, such as tractors and quad bikes was behind the overall increase. What has gone wrong with the stock market . They are all going down, led by america. I think we can put the blame on mrtrump, by america. I think we can put the blame on mr trump, although he will put the blame on china for the escalation of the trade war. Last week, we saw the trade war very much in the form of putting tariffs on increasing numbers of goods. America put on extra 10 of tariffs on to 300 billion worth of chinese imports coming to america. Which means that virtually every single thing that goes from china to america gets a tariff put on it. A really fairly hefty one as well. 10 or 25 . But this week is changing, and it is going into currencies. We are seeing that the chinese appear, well, mr trump says they are manipulative in the currency. The currency has gone down about 2. 5 . By currency has gone down about 2. 5 . By the end of last week, you could see that costing you 6. 8 yuan to get 1. Now it is over seven. You are seeing a weakening of the chinese currency, which get a disadvantage in trade. We can speak to james morrison. This is pushing markets everywhere. The ftse is suffering as well. We are all getting the back d raft, well. We are all getting the back draft, as it were. Yes, for sure. Whenever we see such enormous draft, as it were. Yes, for sure. Whenever we see such enormous moves whenever we see such enormous moves from the us, that is always going to translate into markets in europe. You are right, we can blame mr trump for this, and it you are right, we can blame mr trump forthis, and it is you are right, we can blame mr trump for this, and it is that escalation again of the trade war, which we seem to have been talking about for years now. It doesnt really seem to go away. As you said, last week, there were more tariffs, additional tariffs put on chinese gifts. Goods. What happens with the currency situation, it is a little bit more. There tends to be a cap. China has a cap on its currency. It doesnt tend to let it go above that 7 level. That tends to be a psychological cap on the upside. What china have done this time is that they have let it go above it. Whenever we get to those levels, previously we tend to see a lot of selling or buying of chinese currency, tended to push the us dollar down and having an adverse effect. Now we have seen thisjump above the psychological 7 level, its really important for the market. It lets us believe that china are going to let the currency run that little bit more. Just as an escalation to the trade situation. Whether its jumping above the 7 level, that really leaves everyone a little worried about how far china will let the currency go. There is a long way to go within that, and we dont know if they were let it go any further. It is the knee jerk reaction by the markets. That is what we have seen today. We get a knee jerk reaction, we see a big sell off in the dowjones. That translates into european markets and suddenly we are worried about these big market falls. And then it is blamed on donald trump and the us and china. A quick word on hsbc. This does have some connection to that, doesnt it . I know it is a uk bank, and it is to do with china and the uk, and it is not connected seemingly, but there is a connection . There are connections with the whole Global Banking sector and the chinese, the us chinese trade war. It is causing such enormous effects on global trade, and the Banking Sector is really affected by that. If you look at banking stocks around the world, they have all been under severe pressure. If you look at the likes of goldman sachs, jp morgan within the last reporting season, they spoke about the fact that there are bigger challenges ahead because of the ongoing escalation between the us and china and the uncertainty it creates. This is a similar story from hsbc. Saying there are challenging times ahead and we are making changes in the hierarchy to make sure we are for that. A quick look at the markets and it is all red. Dow is down 2. 25. The ftse down 2. 5 . And cable, do you know what that is . Such an obvious question, it is the way the currency are set out. Yes, pound on them dollar. Just that one exchange. Ours is the base currency, so it comes first. See she knows. Not many say that. Are you here tomorrow . No, but i am here on wednesday. I look forward to it. A reporter tim muffett has been with two spitfire pilots. It is one of the most famous aircraft in british history, isnt it, the spitfire . And you probably havent seen one quite this colour before, its a kind of a polished aluminium. And the reason is its taking part in a very specialjourney. As you say, it is going to fly around the world, its going to take that four months, 27,000 miles, and ian, you are one of the support crew, arent you . And you are a spitfire pilot yourself, although you wont be flying this one now, but what are they like to fly . I mean, absolutely amazing. Im flying the pc 12, the support aeroplane, which will be the mothership of the four months as we go around the world. But ive flown this spitfire. I flew her on wednesday last week. Im ex royal air force, battle of Britain Memorial flight, so i flown lots of spitfires over the years, but even this aeroplane already is very special. So, john remain at aircraft restoration company, he and his team have done an amazing job getting her to where she is today. But already she is iconic. I think we havent even set sail and there is something spiritual, almost magical about this aeroplane. Why do this . Whats the overriding goal . Well, im late on the team, if you like. So, ive come here to keep steve and matt out of trouble. But itsjust, its an iconic aeroplane, isnt it . The shape is world renowned. So, if we can take that around, and all of the sponsors, and the people who are supporting us, and we can take that and show it around the world, showcase it around the world. Then its the adventure spirit, its aviation, its the pure essence of aviation, and taking that adventure spirit around the world. And were going with petwood bear, hes actually leading this whole thing, so hes flying hes already flown in a typhoon on a display at lancaster, four spitfires, and hes coming with us. 0k. And you can follow him on facebook as petwood bear. Ok, well, thanks very much indeed, thank you, petwood, ian, best of luck. We are going to have a quick chat to someone else whos got a very special connection to spitfires. Jenny, tell us about your father, and what his role was when it came to the history of the spitfire . Well, my father was the first man ever, sorry, i beg your pardon, he was the second man to fly to test the spitfire. And he was the second man ever to fly it. How does it feel to be so close to this one, which is going on this historical journey . Oh, absolutely amazing, this is the most beautiful machine. Honestly, it brings tears to my eyes, it is so iconic, and i wish it. I hope this will. Go around the world, and spread a lot of good. Bonhomie and everything. Spitfires have been such an important thing for your family, but there is something about them, isnt there, they get to your heart . Oh, they do. I must say, the concorde was the other aircraft that really has such an iconic. Just so wonderful, it really is. You know, if it hadnt been for a woman called lady houston, i dont think the spitfire would have ever have got off the ground. Because the government, at the time, would not give any money, because i think they felt that more was not imminent. And lady houston gave £100,000 for the development of the schneider trophy, which gave birth to the spitfire. And even then, 1936 was the maiden flight of the spitfire, and it did not come into production. And my father and jeffrey quill, the two pilots, then spent two years bringing the aircraft into production. It is a fascinating story, jenny, thank you ever so much indeed. And what an amazing sight it is. Theyve made several changes, obviously all of the armaments had been taken off. Theyve coloured it this colour, partly because they didnt want a military looking aircraft to be flying some of the countries across the world as it makes its historical journey. Its due to take off at about 1 30pm this afternoon. First to scotland, then it goes westwards around the globe. It is thought it would take some four months. What a journey it will be. We will keep an eye on its progress. A bit more sunshine around compared with this morning from many parts of the uk. Some showers around. The showers in Eastern England are clearing off. More persistent rain into shetland. As possibly we can see, these could rumble into thunderstorms across northern scotla nd thunderstorms across northern scotland during the rest of the day and that could have an impact with some very large rainfall totals in a short space of time. For most, sunshine and warmth out there. Into the evening, that translates to a quiet and the evening, that translates to a quietand dry the evening, that translates to a quiet and dry nitrate susan and eastern areas. More power than further showers pushing back into the west later on. Still a fairly muqqy the west later on. Still a fairly muggy night towards the south west corner, with temperatures not below 15 degrees. Showers at first light in western parts of the uk. Pushing through quite smartly in england and wales, some stay completely dry, greater chance of slower moving, heavy and thundery downpours for Northern Ireland and the northern pa rt Northern Ireland and the northern part of scotland, where there could be an impact. Feeling cooler, too. Ina week be an impact. Feeling cooler, too. In a week when you are going to be dodging the showers at times, more persistent rain towards the end of the week.
