Englands schools desperately need a winds from the near continent so it multi billion pound cash injection will turn hotter. By tuesday we according to a group of mps. Could be looking at highs up to 32 degrees. That is your latest the moon landings 50 years on weather. We ask you to relive your memories of humankinds greatest endeavour. Good morning. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. The government looks set to announce a big boost to Public Sector workers. That is two Million People reportedly to receive a £1 billion pay rise. The plans look to be unveiled as one of theresa mays final acts as Prime Minister. Soldiers are set to get a 2. 9 rise while teachers and other school staff will get 2. 75 . And Police Officers, dentists and consultants theyll get 2. 5 . Its the biggest Public Sector pay rise for six years, which comes following concerns that salaries are rising faster in the private sector. Our Political Correspondent iain watson has been on one level, its quite straightforward actually, which is the pay review bodies which give their recommendations around this time of year and then the Government Departments, the treasury can decide whether or not to accept them. They havent always been accepted or in some cases, where a pay cap is applied, the recommendations are particularly modest because theyre taking into account the pay cap. This year of course, weve been told that the era of austerity is coming to an end so some of the recommendations are going to be above the rate of inflation, currently 1. 9 . Some of these recommendations look as though they could be up to 1 above that. And it looks like the government is going to accept those recommendations. A pay rise above inflation for hundreds of thousands of public i think the politics of this though Sector Workers. Is quite interesting the armed forces, teachers and Police Officers because we are expecting are among those getting more the chancellor Philip Hammond to stand down from office its one of theresa mays last big when a new Prime Minister is in place next week. Decisions as Prime Minister. I think we are seeing the official announcement of this the end of austerity, will be made on monday spending beginning to rise. And hes leaving behind, that said, this isnt or at least tossing into downing street, a terribly generous offer. A bit of a hand grenade, because while it looks as though i think this is the minimum that one the government will accept might have expected after eight the recommendations of the pay years of really severe pay restraint review bodies, they are also in the Public Sector. Going to say that the money well be assessing the significance has to be found from of this latest pay award. Also this lunchtime. Existing departmental budgets. The chancellor Philip Hammond refuses to rule out bringing down in fact, ive looked at some a borisjohnson government if it of the letters sent to the pay pushes for a no deal brexit. Review bodies by the government, telling them exactly that. Therefore, the incoming Prime Minister, presumably, but not definitely, borisjohnson, 17 people injured after vehicles collide with spectators at a meeting of car enthusiasts. Would then have a choice to make. Hundreds of former members of the religious sect known is he going to, in the end, fund the extra pay increases further breaching, if you like, the governments austerity, or is he going to be in a position where he is overseeing cuts elsewhere in departmental budgets in order to finance this, given that the recommendations are above the rate of inflation . He might then get a chorus of catcalls from Public Service unions, from chief Police Officers and all the rest of it about his approach, if he doesnt put more money in. Im told, because there hasnt been a Spending Review it is possible, perfectly possible to increase the size of these departmental budgets but its a big challenge for the new Prime Minister, a call theyre going to have to take pretty quickly. Carl emmerson is the Deputy Director of the institute for fiscal studies. Thank you forjoining us this morning. Can the country for this pay rise . It certainly can if the government wa nts to it certainly can if the government wants to do this, in fact, it is not even that big a pay rise, it is a bit faster than inflation, similar to the kind of pay rises these workers got last year, and is similar broadly to what is happening in the private sector. It is not ungenerous. Neither is it particularly generous. How can the services pay for it within their existing budgets given there is only a little bit more money in education and the others will have to find the money from somewhere. Beyond this march there arent existing budgets the treasury have set out, we dont know how much will be available for schools and the home of his, that was to be determined by a Spending Review this autumn. What it means is these departments will put bids to the treasury, we suspected for many of them, there would not be ongoing cuts, the era of austerity was already over. And this would be one indication of how the world Going Forward wont look like the six yea rs past, forward wont look like the six years past, because the Government Departments will not be looking to deliver overall cuts. Looking at the wider fiscal picture, we have heard for years we need to tighten our belts, some are saying these pay rises are too little, too late, why did we have austerity all these years . What the government has done over the past few years has cut back, put up the past few years has cut back, put up taxes, that means the government is borrowing a lot less than 2010. The deficit the government is running, is relatively low, there is an argument that says maybe we could afford to borrow a bit more if we wa nt to afford to borrow a bit more if we want to enjoy tax cuts or higher spending, but we have done lots of borrowing which has added to Government Debt and we might be worried about when the next recession hits how prepared are we, how much scope has the government to allow debt to rise . It is a trade off between the tax cuts and spending increases we want to enjoy versus the desire to have the country in a better position when the next recession hits so debt can be increased. Going back to the groups who will benefit and those who went, teachers, soldiers, police will get rises. Nurses, junior Civil Servants will not, is that the right targeting . Pa rt targeting . Part of it might be the timing of the pay review body report, different pay review bodies issued their report at different times. We get the settlements for teachers, soldiers, dentists. It could be later this year there will be a similar settlement for nurses, it would be surprising if they were not to get something similar next year. Does this get the public and private sector back in the right place in terms of pay scales . To the extent where there are problems with recruitment and retention in the Public Sector which has been caused by low pay, this settle m e nt has been caused by low pay, this settlement will be enough to ensure those problems do not get worse. It wont make them much better. There are other things apart from pay the government might need to address to tackle recruitment issues in the Public Sector. Thank you. 17 people have been injured, some seriously, in what Police Describe as a horrendous car crash in hertfordshire. Two vehicles collided yesterday evening at a gathering in stevenage, hitting spectators watching from the roadside. Kimberley chowd ha ry is a nurse from stevenage who was at the event last night. Thank you for talking to us. Tell us what happened. We were sitting on the side, and a car was going to pull out, a car came out really fast from the other side of the road. As they pulled out, they hit one another. U nfortu nately out, they hit one another. Unfortunately they went into the people standing in the middle and on the other side. Why were people standing in the middle between the two contra flows of traffic . Iam not of traffic . I am not really sure why they were standing there. The speed they were coming up there, it was not safe to stand there. It was more the thrill of it and being able to get videos and pictures i think. We have heard from some eyewitnesses that one of the vehicles, in the collision, and many others, were travelling at speed, high speeds, is that what you witness . Yes, definitely, at quite high speeds. You have been to these events before, is that normal . Yes, they are usually on that specific road, they do usually speed up specific road, they do usually speed up and down there. Yesterday, it was starting to get out of hand, eve ryo ne starting to get out of hand, everyone was getting more excited. The spectators, as someone who has been before and was there last night, it was said the spectators we re night, it was said the spectators were of different ages, is that something you saw . Yes, definitely, some of the people we re yes, definitely, some of the people were there with their families, people who were much older, really young, different ages. You are a nurse, young, different ages. You are a nurse, you young, different ages. You are a nurse, you try to help. Without distressing yourself or the audience, can you tell us a little about that . When it happened, everyone ran towards it. Then i saw people on the floor, so instantly got down on the floor, so instantly got down on the floor and helped them. The young girl on the floor, i could see she was bleeding from her head. Ijust went into nurse mode and try to do what i could, really. 0bviously, what i could, really. Obviously, the police and im a word are fairly fast after that. Yes, they came pretty quickly. We really appreciate you telling us about it this morning. 0ur reporter Kathryn Stanczyszyn is in stevenage for us. Tell us what the Emergency Services are saying and anything more from the hospitals . This accident happened about a mile away from where i am outside steve na g e away from where i am outside Stevenage Police station now on a busy dual carriageway next to an industrial estate. There had been a cruise meet in the car park, for charity, organisers say they do it every year, where people come to show off their cars. They are meant to park them and get out and people can look at them. As the footage clearly shows, there were cars going up clearly shows, there were cars going up and down that carriageway, lots of people, particularly young people, standing on both sides and the central reservation, one car came up the carriageway, another pulled out, they collided, one car hitting people on the central reservation, the other going into people on the other side of the payment. I am joined people on the other side of the payment. Iam joined now people on the other side of the payment. I am joined now by chief inspector alicia shaw. Can you give us an inspector alicia shaw. Can you give us an update, 17 have been injured. 17 had unfortunately been injured, two are seriously injured and our thoughts at this time with those. Any more on their condition . I will be able to update you later in the day. In relation to the seriously injured. The others have a variety of injuries. Did you know this event was going on . We were not aware of this taking place last night know of such large numbers attending the area. You are not aware at all . We were not aware this was happening. Police responded as soon as possible and we re responded as soon as possible and were there within minutes along with other Emergency Services. Quite a few people on social media saying this kind of meat is a regular occurrence, this sounds like it isa regular occurrence, this sounds like it is a Charity Event annually, but some say it happens every thursday night. Gatherings have taken place of much smaller numbers. We would not normally have people standing in the carriageway all such large numbers on the side, all cars driving in such a manner. Can you do anything to prevent this kind of occurrence . It was meant to be static but lots of cars were going on down at speed. We were not aware of this charity gathering at all. As part of our investigation we will be reviewing our information and intelligence. Previously, we have had officers attend and issue warnings, if cars had been used to drive around causing alarm and harassment in such manner. Have you ever had any instances like this previously where you have arrested people, or where there have been accidents . We do arrest where accidents take place in the area, we havent had such an incident before. The leader of Stevenage Council suggested police were stretched last night, there were other things going on, that might have been a factor. There will always be incidents is going on, that will form part the investigation as well, and to see what was happening at the time. 0ne what was happening at the time. One of the organisers of that charity meeting last night has put out a statement saying, we are devastated, we have been running this for more than a decade raising money for charity. We held it in a car park with a speed bump at the entrance, unfortunately some people went rogue. They have announced they will not be holding that event anymore. The home secretary sajid javid says more must be done to prevent open racism entering mainstream politics. In a thinly disguised attack on donald trump, he called on public leaders to moderate their language in order to halt the spread of poisonous ideologies. Loose language, its used at all levels. Im from an immigrant family and i know what its like to be told to go back where you came from. And i dont think they mean rochdale. Laughter some worry that new arrivals will take over their communities and that our National Identity will be diluted. I firmly reject that. Ive seen how immigration can enrich our country and i welcome it. Joining me now is aristotle kallis, british historian and professor of modern and contemporary history at the school of humanities, keele university. Thank you forjoining us. Can you define for us in simple terms what you think extremism actually is . Well, that is actually the most important question in this discussion. Extremism can mean many things. It can mean the ideas people have about a particular phenomenon. It can also mean the way, the tone, the expression, the language in which these ideas are expressed. When we talk about extremism, we talk about these two things at the same time and we confuse them. Extremism can be any idea, it can cover a number of the ideological spectrums, but also expressed in a particularly angry, extreme, nonmainstream manner. The two overla p nonmainstream manner. The two overlap but sometimes we take them for granted. An idea that can be seen for granted. An idea that can be seen by some people as not so extreme can still be expressed and communicated in an extreme way in public. So, do you think extremism either in the ideas themselves, or in the mode of expression, do you agree with the home secretary and others that is getting worse . Again, iwill getting worse . Again, i will split into two. With regard to the ideas, possibly. See, we hear, more of those extremist ideas, but immigrants, muslims, particular groups in society. I would question whether the ideas that people hold have changed dramatically in the last years. I dont think this is the crux of the problem. They may have hardened but thatis problem. They may have hardened but that is not the issue. There has definitely been a change in the way in which these ideas are reaching the public. Expressions of communication, we have a massive increase because, before, it was very difficult to get into the private sphere of a person. We knew people may hold views but there was a gap between the private sphere and what they did in public. Now, particularly with social media, that filter has gone, it has been blurred. A lot of privately held. These are definitely reaching the public sphere more. 0bviously, public sphere more. Obviously, the home secretary is talking about how political leaders especially should be showing leadership on this and acting, i suppose they cant act as a barrier, but they should set an example of moderation rather than using such language. Do you think that is an accurate point, there is a special role for political leaders . Absolutely, it is an accurate point, it is very good to hear it. I wont be cynical. That said is very important it is made by a person of authority, the home secretary no less, at this particular moment. I would have liked it not to be thinly veiled but a little more expressed in its condemnation of what it is referring to. But it is absolutely welcome. It is not the whole problem, it wont solve the problem. The lack of restraint that characterises the way politicians express themselves or the media, is pa rt express themselves or the media, is part of a wider picture and includes every one of us, that restraint has gonein every one of us, that restraint has gone in general. We see it in social media. It is important the way in which he put it is a nice gesture. That politicians and media have a particular responsibility to take away that medium of expressing anger and backlash. Ithink away that medium of expressing anger and backlash. I think this will help. It wont solve the problem but it is important the acknowledgement is out there. For the sake of clarity, talking about the thinly veiled it, do you mean you think british political leaders should come out and criticise or even condemn the language used by President Trump earlier this week . I cannot see how an intervention made by a politician about the threat of extremism and populism in everyday language made at this point in time and referring to, i was also told to go back to my own country, i cannot see how this particular intervention does not clearly and obviously refer to this point, so, why not say it is wrong, it is ill timed, it is really fuelling extremism across the board, and it comes from someone extremism across the board, and it comes from someone who could eventually has been talked about as the leader of the free world. I think that is very important, absolutely, yes. The bbc and itv have revealed more details about their newjoint Subscription Service britbox. Britbox aims to provide the biggest collection of british content available on any streaming service as well as new commissions for british Production Companies specifically created for the platform. Launching in the final three months of the year, programmes confirmed for the site include gentleman jack and broadchurch. Ashley highfield, a former Senior Executive at the bbc who oversaw the launch of iplayer, gave his thoughts on the £5. 99 Monthly Price and how it might affect the uptake on subscriptions. Cheaper than netflix. I think they have pitched it about right. I dont think they think it is going to something that is going to take on or take over from netflix. It is probably going to run alongside, and will probably end up being low millions of subscribers. The thing is bbc and itv cant really not use this. It is something they have got to get into and try and drive as hard as they can. I believe they have already got 20 of people who are aware of this brand of britbox and they are going to put some heavy marketing behind this. So, they stand a reasonable chance of getting a reasonable number of subscribers. Here to explain more is our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. How important is this and what are the risks . It is very important for the bbc and itv obviously in the long term, streaming is how an enormous proportion of the population is going to want to access the kind of programmes they want to see, rather than ina programmes they want to see, rather than in a linearfashion. And also, we have seen netflix leading the way in how popular that can be, so, other services have got two keep up. There are some risks because even though there is a huge appetite for quality british content out there amongst the british public, they have got two look at the price, £5 99 is about the same as the basic Netflix Subscription you can get, slightly lesser than the basic amazon prime. 0ver slightly lesser than the basic amazon prime. Over the next 12 months we will see so many other big players entering that streaming market, people like disney, with spin offs from star wars and marvel universe, and other products. We will see mohammed abil their own streaming service with huge figures like stephen spielberg, jj abrams, 0prah like stephen spielberg, jj abrams, Oprah Winfrey involved in making content Oprah Winfrey involved in making co nte nt for Oprah Winfrey involved in making content for that. It will be a huge challenge over the next few years for all the services to carve out their bit of the market because suddenly we are being flooded with so many Different Streaming Services on individual subscriptions. As well as the bbc licence fee. This is going to be a tricky time. We havent seen so far from britbox is an indication of their huge hitters, the crown jewels of television, great programmes like gavin and stacey and broadchurch were announced today, but the ones that define them like doctor who, sherlock, downton abbey, flea bag, killing eve. Line of duty, bodyguard some others are made by independent companies, they get revenue from streaming Services Like netflix currently and terrestrial broadcast. 0ur bbc and itv going to have the deep pockets to command those shows . That is the question, they are selling britbox as a service, a service of the very best british content. But if it wants the best british content for the consumer, some programmes will cost a lot of money. A programme like bodyguard is made by an independent production and has been sold on to netflix. It is difficult for the bbc to get in on that. Itv have made a deal with netflix for that programme. Netflix had the deepest pockets in the business at the moment. It will be a tricky task to fulfil that mantra of the very best british programming, if they have some good programming but not all of it. Englands schools desperately need a multi billion pound cash injection thats according to a group of mps. The Education Select Committee found schools are increasingly being asked to deal with growing pupil numbers and rising costs, without adequate resources. Frankie mccamley reports. Earlier this month, protests in westminster over school funding. In may, families take to the streets in cities across the country, demanding action on what they call a National Crisis in a special needs funding. Two months before that, thousands of head teachers in england wrote to parents saying schools are facing a funding crisis. Following, their unprecedented march through westminster where hundreds gathered. Today, another call for action, following an inquiry by a group of mps. We are calling for a ten year plan. 0ur argument is very simple. If the nhs can have a ten year plan and £20 billion extra long term funding settlement, why should education be the poor relation in terms of public funding . The inquiry recommends that all schools and colleges get the multi billion cash injection they desperately need, specifically calling for more funding for special needs pupils, increasing money for post 16 education, and extra funding for disadvantaged students up to the age of 19. The government says, while it is accurate to say funding is at its highest level, it does recognise schools are facing budgeting challenges. Frankie mccamley, bbc news. A line of breaking news, Stephen Nicholson the care worker has been jailed for life, to serve a minimum of 33 years for the murder and rape of 33 years for the murder and rape of schoolgirl lucy mccue, that coming in from Winchester Crown court. She was 13 years old, murdered last year. Her body found in woodland at a Sports Centre near her southampton home. She was having a relationship with an older man, and he has been found guilty and been jailed and he has been found guilty and beenjailed for and he has been found guilty and been jailed for life to serve a minimum of 33 years. Moving on. The Supreme Court in the netherlands has ruled that the dutch state was partially responsible for the deaths of hundreds of muslim men at srebrenica during the bosnian war in 1995. The case was referred to the court after the government objected to an earlier ruling that said dutch peacekeepers had not done enough to protect them. Anna holligan is at the hague. Tell us more about what the Supreme Court found. This is the netherlands highest court, it doesnt go further than this, it relates to the summer of 1995 when bosnian serb forces were swiping through the country to carve out territory. Thousands of muslim families had fled to this un compound in srebrenica, a designated saison, they automatically assumed they would be safe. It was dutch soldiers controlling this base, operating as un peacekeepers. They we re operating as un peacekeepers. They were overrun, they had, they tried to fend off the bosnian serb forces but eventually thought it would be better to cooperate. In the end, they helped to facilitate the evacuation by funnelling the refugees through a tunnel and during that process the Bosnian Serbs separated the men from the women, the men were picked off and taken away to be executed. This case in particular relates to 350 muslim men who were inside the compound hiding, and we will tell you more about that when we speak to this dutch soldier. U nfortu nately when we speak to this dutch soldier. Unfortunately our sound isnt holding up so i will hand you back to the studio for now. We will come back to you later coming up on bbc newsroom live liftoff. Well be finding out about the british engineers who helped send these astronauts all the way to the surface of the moon on the 50th anniversary of the mission. Now its time for a look at the weather. We are having problem with the sound. We willjust go to the headlines instead. We will get you the weather later on. Two million Public Sector workers, including Police Officers, soldiers and teachers are to be given pay rises of between two and 2. 9 . Hertfordshire police say 17 people have been injured some seriously following a collision between two cars in stevenage last night. The home secretary, sajid javid, says public leaders must do more to stop open racism entering mainstream politics. Im from an immigrant family and i know what its like to be told to go back where you came from. Welcome to britbox. Britbox the new streaming service from the bbc and itv is set to launch in the uk at the end of the year. Englands schools desperately need a multi billion pound cash injection according to a group of mps. Your memories of the moon landings 50 years on we ask you to relive your memories of mans greatest endeavour. Sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres jane dougall. Good morning. On day two of the open at royal portrush, americanjb holmes is top of the leaderboard with eight under. But chasing close behind are englishman Tyrell Hatton two shots behind and Tommy Fleetwood on five under. Local favourite rory mcilroy finished yesterday on eight over and tees off this afternoon. We canjoin our reporter adam wild. Bit of movement on the leaderboard . Yes, we have had an intriguing morning here at port rush, royal portrush for the 148th 0pen championship. Day two and as they went off at 6 45am it has been tight at the top of the leaderboard. Lots of change throughout. We still have jb holmes at the top. He was the overnight leader and having a good round, continuing the good form from yesterday, he is three under for the day through seven. Behind him, very congested indeed. Tommy fleetwood, the englishman is three under as well for the day so six under overall. Tyrell hatton, who started very well this morning, he is two underfor the day. Very well this morning, he is two under for the day. The very well this morning, he is two underfor the day. The big mover of the day, jordan spieth, had an extraordinary run on these opening nine holes where he was birdie, birdie, eagle, birdie. He is four underfor the day birdie, eagle, birdie. He is four under for the day and that takes 25 under for the day and that takes 25 under and of course the champion from a couple of years ago. He went close last year as well. The is very much on the charge and in so far. This is the day when it gets serious, looking for the cut later on. It is projected at the moment to be at around two over but i do expect that to get much tighter as the day goes on. Conditions are better than they were yesterday, so scoring well is much easier than it was yesterday. Tiger woods is out on the course, he was seven over yesterday and is one under today. He is showing the conditions are better. Rory mcilroy will hope that is the case because he had a disastrous day yesterday. He has it all on to make the cut. He tees off later on about 3pm this afternoon. Conditions arent expected to change too much over the course of the day so teeing off later today for rory mcilroy wont have too much of a disadvantage for him. He really has a lot to do to get himself back to anywhere near the projected cut later on if he is to make the weekend. 0ne later on if he is to make the weekend. One man who would be making their weekend, the champion from backin their weekend, the champion from back in 1996, tom lehman. A few tea rs back in 1996, tom lehman. A few tears for him, it is his final 0pen championship, very emotional scenes on the 18th a few moments ago. You can on the 18th a few moments ago. You ca n follow on the 18th a few moments ago. You can follow the action on the bbc across the weekend. Adam, thank you very much. Australia look on course to retain the womens ashes with england struggling to bowl them out. Its day two of the only test match in the multi format series at taunton. A draw or a win for australia would mean they retain the urn. Australia are 282 for three. England are six points to one down in the series after losing all three 0dis. They must win to avoid losing the multi format series. Tom daley has the chance to defend his 10m platform world title tomorrow. Hes through to the semifinal, along with fellow briton Noah Williams at the World Championships and this also means they secure two spots in the event at the tokyo 0lympics. I would love to be able to defend the world title. It is going to be tough, those chinese guys are pretty special. I have the mixed event as well beforehand so it will be a busy day. But for me, all things said and done like this, this isjob done. Qualification for the olympics for gb in the mens platform, the individual and the synchro. Tomorrow its about having fun and i can enjoy the final. Thats all the sport for now. Ill have more for you in the next hour. Whether its almond, soy or coconut, it seems more people are ditching cows milk for plant based products with many citing concerns over health, ethics and the environment. A quarter of british people are now drinking non dairy milk, according to a survey of 2,000 people by the Market Research firm mintel. 16 to 2a year olds are the biggest users of non dairy milk thats 33 . But despite this, plant based milks still only make up just 4 of the milk market, with the majority of milk sales last year being for cows milk. Lets get more on this with our reporter, rick kelsey. It is young people driving this change . It is always interesting to see a Consumer Trend predominantly driven by under 25 year olds, which is having a wider effect on the rest of the market. Whether you are seeing is about a third of under 25 year olds actually choosing to have oats, rice or soy or almond milk instead of cows milk. 33 are drinking them regularly. It is important to say, when we look at this as a wider percentage, it is only 4 of the entire milk market. 96 of people are still having cows mid. But what it is doing, it is having a knock on effect to the greater population so a quarter of british people now over all are drinking non dairy milks. That is a significant shift. But there is only a small proportion of the milk market, as it were and then people are giving a variety of reasons, not just one reason . Health is the first reason people are giving up and why they are making this shift. You can debate that all day, when you take cows milk out of your system and have a plant based alternative, is ita have a plant based alternative, is it a good thing . We can talk about that all day. What is more clear is when we talk about the environment and we can see on this chart, when it comes to cows milk there is an enormous difference in the impact on the environment. This comes in three main reasons. The emissions of cows, land use and water use. If you look at these different milks we see grown, oats, rice and soy milk, to a lesser extent, almond milk because the almond milk takes in an enormous amount of water to produce. That is the second reason was clearly what people are saying is why they are making this shift is because they have concerns that dairy farming is not good for the environment. Is at the environmental health, or are there other reasons as well . There are other reasons as well but they are other reasons as well but they are predominantly what people are saying. It is important to note, the change in how we consume milk is not simply down to how we just go to the shop and drink it. A lot of these people who are going out and buying the milk are still using cows milk when it comes to cooking. Why are they doing that . There is an explosion in plant based milk when it comes to marketing, especially toward young people but they might be having a cup of tea or coffee when they come to work and using milk from the fridge at work. I think what is relevant to note is thatis think what is relevant to note is that is the type of milk we are consuming. But also the way we can get our milk is changing. We have seen a get our milk is changing. We have seen a return to the traditional minuteman or woman delivering milk to our doorstep. My mum called me old fashion when she saw i had an old fashion when she saw i had an old milk bottle in my fridge. My said mum, this is changing and that is because of Single Use Plastics and how we get our milk to the door. Fascinating, thank you for coming and talking to us about it. This saturday marks the 50th anniversary of humans landing on the moon. 0njune 20th, at eight oclock in the evening, the lunar module eagle touched down on the moons surface. Just before 3 00 in the morning on the 21st, the astronauts inside were ready to venture out. Heres our correspondent pallab ghosh on the scientific importance of the apollo 11 landing. Im at the foot of the ladder. Neil armstrong, stepping out into the unknown. Its one small step for man. 0ne giant leap for mankind. His one small step fulfilled apollo 11s Main Objective to go where no human had gone before, specifically to go there first before the soviet union. This was to demonstrate the superiority of american capitalism over communism. This is the sea of tranquillity, where the lunar module, the eagle, landed. Planting the American Flag here at a stroke, cemented americas status as a technological and economic superpower we know today. Apollo 11s Scientific Mission was secondary, but the results have been of immense value. It was from here that Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin sent their first pictures from the moon surface back to earth. Houston weve got a beautiful picture, neil. They collected and brought back 22 kilograms of moon rock. Analysis showed that the moon was once part of the earth and was probably ripped away during a collision with a planet sized rock more than 11. 5 billion years ago. Next, an experiment to see if the sun radiated a stream of electrically charged particles that scientists call the solar wind. This wind doesnt normally make much of an impression on earth, except in northern and southern parts of the globe where it causes auroras, but the moon should be bombarded by these particles. The astronauts attached a sheet of aluminium foil on a pole to catch them. When this foil was taken back to earth, scientists were able to determine the solar winds chemical composition for the first time. Monitor has been deployed manually. Roger. This is a passive seismic experiment. It discovered that the moon also has earthquakes, called moon quakes. This, and other detectors left by later apollo missions, gave researchers a profound insight into the moons internal structure. And finally, the laser ranging retroreflector. Essentially theyre mirrors left on the moons surface. They reflect laser beams sent from telescopes on earth. The time it takes to get back gives an accurate measurement of the distance of the moon from the earth at any given time and its still being used today, to monitor the slow drift away at the speed of just less than four centimetres a second. Most of the apollo experiments were short lived and fairly basic, but they provided scientists with a giant leap in understanding of a world that had, up until this point, been completely alien. The moon landing was only possible thanks to the work of around 400,000 people. That involved engineers, scientists and other technicians and whats not well known is that up to 30 british engineers were also brought in. They included everyone from those who helped train Neil Armstrong to one man who designed the fuel cells on the saturn five rocket. Duncan kennedy reports. They had the world behind them and the moon in front. Liftoff. As easy as a, b, c for armstrong, buzz and collins well not really. It took 400,000 people to make this happen. Including british engineers. It consumes hydrogen and oxygen to water and produces electrical energy. Like francis tom bacon. At Cambridge University he developed the first Hydrogen Oxygen fuel cell that provided power, heat and clean water to apollo 11. His colleagues recall a gentleman engineer. He was always terribly polite. He would ask you what your interests were and if they had any bearing on the fuel cell, he was deeply interested. But if they didnt, he switched off. Britain had its own Rocket Programme from the 1950s. Missiles like blue streak and black arrow were tested here on the isle of wight. But when the blue streak and other projects were cancelled here, and the Arrow Programme cancelled in canada, that meant highly skilled, british engineers had to go somewhere else and where did many of them end up . Well its thought between 20 and 30 of them went to work for nasa on the moon space programme. With the laser reflector in the background. One of them was keith wright from dorset. He helped create the main experiments carried out on the moon. This is buzz aldrin carrying keiths equipment. The aim to measure vibrations on the lunar surface. What was it like to be, in effect, a part of history, apollo 11 . When we actually landed, we alljumped, we did it then again, as soon as we heard theyd deployed the experiments, it was great, it was our part done and it worked. 0ther british engineers on apollo 11 did everything from helping redesign this contraption after Neil Armstrong had to make this ejection from it during training, to creating the Mission Control centre itself. The giant leap to the moon may have been made wearing american boots, but some of the small steps had a british footprint as well. Duncan kennedy, bbc news. In a moment well have all the Business News, but first the headlines on bbc news. Public Sector Workers are set to receive above inflation pay rises costing the government £2 billion. 17 people have been injured, some seriously, in a car cruise crash in stevenage the home secretary calls on public leaders to moderate their language in order to stop the spread of poisonous ideologies. Now, the Business News. Public sector net borrowing injune was £7. 2bn, according to the office for national statistics. Thats up from £3. 3 billion injune 2018 and higher than all the forecasts in a poll of economists by reuters. Its the highestjune borrowing since 2015, the 0ns said. Londons crossrail project will probably go even further over budget, according to a report by mps. Commuters have been let down by a programme that is well behind schedule, the Public Accounts Committee said. Mps said they were sceptical about the department for transports ability to oversee major rail projects. The worlds biggest plane maker boeing is setting aside almost £4 billion to compensate airlines for the grounding of the 737 max. The aircraft was withdrawn from Service Worldwide in march after two crashes, in indonesia and ethiopia, in the space of five months. 300 and 46 people were killed. Back to the story on londons crossrail. Londons crossrail project will probably go even further over budget, according to a report by mps. The Public Accounts Committee says commuters have been let down by a programme that is well behind schedule. Mps said they were sceptical about the department for transports ability to oversee major rail projects. In response, the department for transport said it had acted swiftly and effectively when problems at crossrail became clear. Meg hillier mp is chair of the Public Accounts Committee. Talk us through what your report has found . Crossrailwas talk us through what your report has found . Crossrail was supposed to have been delivered last december. In this last summer it became apparent it wasnt going to happen and we have found its not going to be delivered until 2022 at the latest, for the whole of it. But the central section about 2021 but it is over budget by £2. 8 billion. There was an Emergency Mission to hold some cash in to keep it on track so we dont know what the full and final cost will be. What has gone wrong here . What we highlight it is, there was an optimistic approach by crossrail limited. They did some bits, the tunnelling and the engineering which was delivered on time but the challenge with a big project like this is integrating the trains, the tracks, the complicated software, to make sure it all works together in the interests of passengers and that is the bit they didnt plan properly and they added in complications like breaking up the contracts into 36 and then they addedin the contracts into 36 and then they added in those layers and didnt foresee what was coming and the overoptimism was pretty staggering. We see a lot of optimistic civil serva nts we see a lot of optimistic Civil Servants in front of us, but this was staggering and one of the worst we have seen. What people at home will be shocked about, at the time the bus was paid a bonus of £500,000 in 2016 . The the bus was paid a bonus of £500,000 in 2016 . The boss. The bus was paid a bonus of £500,000 in 2016 . The boss. That is what is staggering, the board couldnt see what was happening and a lot of people left before the problems arose. There are concerns long term about what will happen. If you have skin in the game and you are supposed to be delivering something, you shouldnt get bonuses if you are not delivering. And this is a big problem that they should have foreseen. It is overrunning by how many years . They should have foreseen the challenge, it is the extra 2. 8 billion that has been there to keep it going because it would have been catastrophic to stop it. But the longer a project goes on, the more that needs to be done, the more it costs. Transport for london did the right thing because they have a role in this thing to put in new people. They were up straightforward and honest but we dont have a final date for opening. We have asked them to come back to our committee every six months to keep us updated on progress. This goes way beyond london but it has a major impact on london transport and it is very necessary. It does indeed andi it is very necessary. It does indeed and i know you said there is no time frame, what happens next and what do we have to learn from this and how do we move forward from that . This is something we see so often on our committee, it is the integration, the fitting together of different parts that makes a rail service work and putting passengers at the front. If you cannot get passengers on trains that are on time, you havent delivered the project. We have seen this with south west trains, thames licks at the department for transport needs to get on this and work out why, in this country, we seem work out why, in this country, we seem to be so incapable of delivering that integration. That is what we are saying to them, you have got to make this work, we have a lot of other projects in the north to be discussed, we cannot keep going like this and lurching from delay and overspend repeatedly. It is always the passengers that lose out. Before i let you go, i need to ask you about the Public Sector pay rise we have been reporting. It is £2 billion over the next six years for Public Sector workers. What do you make of that . One of the problems when George Osborne froze Public Sector pay, he was creating a ticking time bomb for people whose pay wasnt keeping pace with inflation. There has been a Strong Demand in the Public Sector for pay to go up because the cost of living has gone up but their pay hasnt kept pace. It had to be dealt with, but we have to see how it fits across the whole. My committee is repeatedly looking at real challenges in the Public Sector, whether it is challenging about funding around schools and hospitals but other investments are needed so it needs to be looked at in the round and i dont have that detail yet. But those Public Sector workers have been struggling for some time because they didnt see their pay go up because they didnt see their pay go up to keep because they didnt see their pay go up because they didnt see their pay go up to keep up with inflation. Thank you very much. A look at the business headlines now. Landlords are warning a policy to ensure renters no longerface eviciton at short notice, could backfire as lower income tenants will find it harder to rent homes. New plans outlined by the government aim to give tenants security by stopping revenge evictions when tenants are thrown out for complaining. New Zealand Rugby has cancelled more than 700 tickets for an all blacks test match against south africa. The sports governing body in new zealand said they were fraudulent tickets because they had been re sold on the secondary market. And the pound is beginning to show a bit of strength. Actually that is the dax. In the last hour or so it has risen against the euro and dollar. Sterling has been volatile recently thanks to the Political Uncertainty surrounding brexit. Idid want i did want to show you what the pound was doing not what the dax in germany was doing but the system isnt working. But now £1 will buy you 1 25, isnt working. But now £1 will buy you 125, higher than you got a couple of days ago. Thats the Business News now. Wildlife experts say the uk could be experiencing a once in a decade wildlife phenomenon this year, with a mass influx of painted lady butterflies. The species is a common sight but about once every ten years, there is a painted lady summer when millions arrive en masse. Photographers from far and wide have been flocking to the welsh coast at night, to capture a spectacular phenomenon. Bioluminscent plankton is appearing to make the sea off anglesey glow a bright blue. Bioluminescence describes the light that some living creatures, such as fireflies and jellyfish, emit from their cells. Photographer Kris Williams has been all around the welsh coast capturing the spectacle since 2016. The bioluminescent plankton watch Wales Facebook group now has more than 6000 members. Well bring you all the weather in a moment, first, just to let you know whats happening this evening on bbc news. We have a special programme on the liberal democrat leadership contest, where the two candidates, jo swinson and ed davey, will go head to head at 7 00pm this evening. If you have any questions for the candidates you can tweet us using the hashtag bbc lib dem debate. Now its time for a look at the weather. A few battery issues. We have heavy rain moving north and east across the united kingdom. It has been particularly wet this morning across parts of south wales, up into North Western parts of england. Just recently around the manchester area and the london area, we have had a lot of heavy rainfall, moving its way north and east. Soggy conditions out there and it will stay wet into many parts this afternoon. The rain edges northward into Northern Ireland and central areas of southern scotland. Even as the main band of rain clears away, very messy picture this afternoon with further showers moving in, heavy and thundery downpours. Maximum temperatures, 16 to 21 degrees. Thunderstorms likely across Northern Ireland and western and southern areas of scotland this evening and overnight. Further heavy rain across much of central and southern areas of england tonight. I will like to come temperature 16 or 17 degrees in the south east of england. 13 or 1a further north. This is the area of low pressure responsible for this wet weather. The weather front moving eastward and then this occluded front from the west will bring us some showers into saturday. 0ne batch of rain clears away and then well see the showers moving their way from west to east. Some of those could be heavy and maybe even thundery during the afternoon. Further west it will dry out more with sunny spells developing. Match member maximum temperature is 25 degrees. Warmer than today. On sunday the low pressure moves eastward and the ridge of High Pressure m oves eastward and the ridge of High Pressure moves in. Then the next weather system spreads in from the atla ntic weather system spreads in from the atlantic and it will bring rain from Northern Ireland into western scotland, moving north eastwa rd. Northern ireland into western scotland, moving north eastward. For most of england and wales, sunday will be the driest day of the weekend. There will be some sunshine. Temperatures getting to about 22 to 25 celsius. Temperatures creeping up a little bit but into next week, they will get higher. We will tap into the hot air across spain and france. It is going to move northward across the uk so temperatures will rise. In the london area midweek, temperature is 31, 30 two celsius. But widely those temperatures getting into the mid 20s for most of us and it is looking largely dry next week. So we will see a return of the warm weather. Uncertainty as to how long that one weather will last next week, so stay tuned to the forecast. Goodbye. Youre watching bbc newsroom live its midday and these are the main stories this morning. Public Sector Workers including Police Officers, soldiers and teachers are in line for an above inflation pay rise in one of the last announcements of the may government. The home secretary sajid javid says he has been the victim of racist abuse, as he urges public leaders to do more to stop open racism entering mainstream politics. 17 people have been injured some seriously in a car cruise crash in stevenage. The moon landings 50 years on we ask you to relive your memories of humankinds greatest endeavour. Wildlife experts are urging the public to help monitor a massive influx of painted lady butterflies with millions expected to arrive this summer. Good morning. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. The government looks set to announce a big boost to Public Sector workers pay. That is around two Million People are reportedly to receive a £2 billion pay rise. The plans look to be unveiled as one of theresa mays final acts as Prime Minister. The armed forces are set to get a 2. 5 rise while teachers and other school staff will get 2. 75 and Police Officers, dentists and consultants theyll get 2. 5 . Its the biggest Public Sector pay rise for some workers for six years, and comes following concerns that salaries are rising faster in the private sector. 0ur Political Correspondent iain watson has been following the story. On one level, it is quite straightforward, there are pay review bodies which give the recommendations around this time of year and the Government Departments, the treasury, can decide whether to accept them. They have always been accepted, or in some cases where a pay cut has been requested, it has been particularly modest. This year we have been told the era of austerity is coming to an end so some recommendations will be above the rate of inflation, currently 1. 9 , some looked as if they could be up to 1 above that. It looks like the government will accept those recommendations. The politics of this is quite interesting because we are expecting the chancellor Philip Hammond to stand down from office when a new Prime Minister is in place next week. The official announcement will be made on monday. He is leaving behind or at least tossing into downing street a hand grenade because while it looks as if the government will accept the recommendations of the pay review bodies, they will also say the money has to be found for existing, from existing departmental budgets. Looking at the letters sent to the pay review bodies, the government is telling them that. The incoming Prime Minister, presumably Boris Johnson, would then have a choice, is he going to fund the extra pay increases further breaching the governments austerity, or will he be in governments austerity, or will he beina governments austerity, or will he be in a position overseeing cuts elsewhere in departmental budget to finance this, given the recommendations are above the rate of inflation. He might get a chorus of inflation. He might get a chorus of catcalls from Public Service unions and police chief officers for not putting more money in. It is possible to increase the size of these departmental budgets but it is a challenge for the new Prime Minister. Miatta fahnbulleh is the chief executive of the new Economics Foundation a think tank that promotes social, economic and environmental justice. What do you make of these pay rises, are they welcome for the staff . Definitely welcome back they have been a long time coming. It feels like a little bit too little too late at the end of theresa mays dying days. The Public Sector has been squeezed for a decade. A doctor or nurse or teacher doing a job today compared to the same job in 2010 is being paid 10 less. Above inflation pay rises which is what the government is talking about is a step in the right direction but is not enough to close that gap on 2010. The big clincher is at the moment they are suggesting the pay rises will come out of existing budgets. You will increase the pay of Public Sector workers but cut budgets for them to do theirjobs. Robbing peter to pay paul, unless they can find more money to do this, it is austerity. Can they find more money . We have needed to tighten our belts to borrow nests. It is about choices, when the government thinks about balancing the budget, ensuring we can keep on top of daily spending, it has options. It could have chosen not to reduce tax for the top payers, not to reduce corporation tax, to increase pay for Public Service workers. It could have opted to increase taxes. It is about their choices. When we look at where we are in terms of public finances, the chancellor says we have headroom, the capacity to borrow more, even with in and we would argue there isa with in and we would argue there is a case for borrowing beyond that to stimulate the economy. The capacity to do this is there but it requires the government to make the right choices. What is worrying is what we are hearing from the leadership contenders suggesting their priorities are off, talking about tax cuts for those better off when they could be talking about increasing the pay of Public Sector workers. They would say they need to promote and boost enterprise, in order to get the tax revenues for Public Sectorjobs. Taking get the tax revenues for Public Sector jobs. Taking a get the tax revenues for Public Sectorjobs. Taking a different point, you mentioned the headroom, thatis point, you mentioned the headroom, that is dependent on a deal on brexit. This is within the wider macroeconomic framing. All the talk about increasing what we spend is completely contingent on us we spend is completely contingent on us not falling off a cliff edge in brexit. What is wearing the 0br did their analysis of the risks of no deal and said it will tip us into recession and cost us Something Like 30 billion in the coming year. This is problematic. It is hugely worrying when you have our potential future Prime Minister talking about no deal in a cavalier way. It will impact the economy, it will give us less money to go around, it will mean things like dealing with reading investment back into Public Services, big reforms we need to do, will be thrown to the wayside as we try to mop up the mess from no deal. Thank you forjoining us. I know the arguments of brexit remain but whoever is having those arguments and wherever they land, that money for Public Sector pay rises has to be found. The home secretary sajid javid says more must be done to prevent open racism entering mainstream politics. In a thinly disguised attack on donald trump he called on public leaders to moderate their language in order to halt the spread of poisonous ideologies. Loose language, its used at all levels. Im from an immigrant family and i know what its like to be told to go back where you came from. And i dont think they mean rochdale. Laughter some worry that new arrivals will take over their communities and that our National Identity will be diluted. I firmly reject that. Ive seen how immigration can enrich our country and i welcome it. Aristotle kallis, british historian and professor of modern and contemporary history at the school of humanities, keele university, told me the announcement is a nice gesture, but will not solve the problem of extremisim in the uk. I would question whether the ideas that people hold have changed dramatically in the last years. I dont think this is the crux of the problem. They may have hardened but that is not the issue. There has definitely been a change in the way in which these ideas are reaching the public sphere. Expressions of communication, we have a massive increase because, before, it was very difficult to get into the private sphere of a person. We knew people may hold extremist views but there was a gap between the private sphere and what they did in public. Now, particularly with social media, that filter has gone, it has been blurred. A lot of privately held views which may or may not have been there. These are definitely reaching the public sphere more. Obviously, the home secretary is talking about how political leaders especially should be showing leadership on this and acting, i suppose they cant act as a barrier, but they should set an example of moderation rather than using such language. Do you think that is an accurate point, there is a special role for political leaders . Absolutely, it is an accurate point, it is very good to hear it. I wont be cynical. It lacks nuance. But it is very important it is made by a person of authority, the home secretary no less, at this particular moment. I would have liked it not to be thinly veiled but a little more expressed in its condemnation of what it is referring to. But it is absolutely welcome. It is not the whole problem, it wont solve the problem. The lack of restraint that characterises the way politicians express themselves or the media, is part of a wider picture and includes every single one of us, that restraint has gone in general. We see it in social media. But it is important, the way in which he put it is a nice gesture. That politicians and media have a particular responsibility to take away that medium of expressing anger and backlash. I think this will help. It wont solve the problem but it is important the acknowledgement is out there. Englands schools desperately need a multi billion pound cash injection thats according to a group of mps. The Education Select Committee found schools are increasingly being asked to deal with growing pupil numbers and rising costs, without adequate resources. Frankie mccamley reports. Earlier this month, protests in westminster over school funding. In may, families take to the streets in cities across the country, demanding action on what they call a National Crisis in a special needs funding. Two months before that, thousands of head teachers in england wrote to parents saying schools are facing a funding crisis. Following their unprecedented march through westminster where hundreds gathered. Today, another call for action, following an inquiry by a group of mps. We are calling for a ten year plan. 0ur argument is very simple. If the nhs can have a ten year plan and £20 billion extra long term funding settlement, why should education be the poor relation in terms of public funding . The inquiry recommends that all schools and colleges get the multi billion cash injection they desperately need, specifically calling for more funding for special needs pupils, increasing money for post 16 education, and extra funding for disadvantaged students up to the age of 19. The government says, while it is accurate to say funding is at its highest level, it does recognise schools are facing budgeting challenges. Frankie mccamley, bbc news.

Thats all the sport for now. Ill have more for you in the next hour. 17 people have been injured, some seriously, in what Police Describe as a horrendous car crash in hertfordshire. Two vehicles collided yesterday evening at a car cruise event in stevenage, hitting spectators watching from the roadside. Earlier, Ciaran Oconnor who drove by the scene described what he saw. Me and my friend were coming back from singing the lead, we came to the main roundabout next to the football clu b the main roundabout next to the Football Club and literally two seconds to see what happened, a car coming at the end of the road quickly, taking out about five, six kids in the middle of the road, they have gone flying which was horrific. And three orfour cars in have gone flying which was horrific. And three or four cars in front of us came and three or four cars in front of us came to a standstill, everyone got out. Panic around it which was mental, kids everywhere, a few adults all around, couldnt believe what had happened. It spiralled from there. I got to see the main impact of the car which happened and the cars in front came toa happened and the cars in front came to a standstill, it was horrific. Com plete to a standstill, it was horrific. Complete shock, you dont expect to see that on the way back from a gig, from singing. Yes, it was a shock. You say there were young people. Yes, 16, 17, 18, 19. 20 some of them. Teens. What were they doing . Literally, harmlessly, looking at cars. A lot of it gets bad press especially from what has happened now in terms of what has happened now in terms of what they are doing. It is harmless, looking at different cars, meeting up looking at different cars, meeting up and chatting. Normally you get about 50, 60 people there. Last night there were a lot more because they were doing awareness for something. 0bviously, what happened was awful. I think they are fairly regular. Pretty much once a week in different locations. Where it happened is a small location anyway. It was just u nfortu nate. Small location anyway. It was just unfortunate. 0bviously, small location anyway. It was just unfortunate. Obviously, a terrible accident what has happened, the cars veered off and crashed into kids on the road. 0n the other side, slower ca rs the road. 0n the other side, slower cars come into that side as well and injured a few people, it was horrific. Everyone was standing around trying to help. I am not first aid trained, ididnt want to help. I am not first aid trained, i didnt want to get involved. You can see a lot of kids on the red distressed, in agony, run over, injured. It was shocking. Natural shock. You get there, you see it, what is going on . Pretty horrific. Back now to that car crash in stevenage which has left at least 17 people injured. Chief inspector alicia shaw from Hertfordshire Police has given us this update. 17 people injured, two seriously, our thoughts are with those injured. Any more on their condition . Not at the moment, i will update later in the moment, i will update later in the day in relation to the two seriously injured and the others have a variety of injuries. Did you know this event was going on, this gathering . We were not aware of this gathering taking place last night and we were not aware of such large numbers attending the stevenage area. You were not aware at all this was happening. We were not aware this was happening. Police responded as soon as possible and were there within minutes along with the other Emergency Services. Quite a few people on social media saying, actually, this kind of meeting is a regular occurrence. This one sounds like a Charity Event annually but this happens every thursday night. Gatherings had ta ken thursday night. Gatherings had taken place of much smaller, much, much smaller numbers. We would not normally have people standing in the carriageway or such large numbers on the side viewing the cars driving in such a manner last night. Can you do anything to prevent this kind of occurrence happening . The charity said it was a static meeting but lots of cars were going up and down at quite a speed. We were not aware of this charity gathering at all. As part of our investigation we will be reviewing our information and intelligence. Previously, we have had officers attend and issue a warning, or seizure of cars if they have been used to drive around causing alarm and harassment in such manner. Have you had any instances like this previously or where you have arrested people where there have been accidents . We have made arrests where necessary where accidents take place in the area. We have not had such an incident happened before. Lastly, the leader of the Stevenage Council suggested may be police were stretched last night, there were other things going on, and that might have been a factor. As always there will be incidences going on, that will form part of the investigation as well and moving forward to see what was happening at the time. A lodger who raped and murdered a 13 Year Old Girl to stop herfrom exposing him as a sex abuser has been jailed for life. Stephen nicholson, aged 25, stabbed lucy mchugh at southampton 0utdoor Sports Centre last july. He was found guilty of murder and three charges of raping lucy following a trial at Winchester Crown court, and was ordered to spend at least 33 years in jail. Well be speaking to our correspondent there later. The Supreme Court in the netherlands has ruled that the dutch state was partially responsible for the deaths of hundreds of muslim men at srebrenica during the bosnian war in 1995. The case was referred to the court after the government objected to an earlier ruling that said dutch peacekeepers had not done enough to protect them. Anna holligan is at the hague. Tell us more about what the court said. This was the finaljudgment, the families had come, three mothers representing thousands of victims, came in search ofjustice. I spoke to them just after the verdict and they said they only felt humiliation because they came here to the head from srebrenica and they were not actually given a live translation of what thejudge was actually given a live translation of what the judge was saying. I was in court and wondered why there was no reaction, it was because they could not follow proceedings. They said this brought back all the memories of 1995, summer, when bosnian serb forces overran this un protected camp which was run by dutch battalion of soldiers at the time. Thousands of refugees had fled the bosnian serb forces who were trying to carve out an ethnically pure territory. The dutch soldiers were lightly armed, and are supported, and they decided that it would be better to cooperate with the demands to hand these thousands of refugees over, so, they started to organise the evacuations, organising the refugees into groups and funnelling them through tunnels where the bosnian serb forces picked out the men, separated them from women and children, and took them to be executed. We now know thousands of muslims were killed in srebrenica in the space of a few days. The worst atrocity on european soil since the holocaust. This case in the hague at the Supreme Court, the highest in the Supreme Court, the highest in the country, relates specifically to 350 muslin men who were actually hiding inside the compound in safety. The dutch soldiers did not give them the option of whether they wa nted give them the option of whether they wanted to stay and tried to continue to hide and survive. They forced them to leave. In doing so, the judges here said they did not give them the opportunity to decide on their own fate. They may have had a 10 chance of survival, the judges said, given the troops were so intent on removing all the muslims from the land. And so he said the dutch state was liable for 10 of the suffering felt by those 350 muslin mens families. As far as the mothers who are here today, who have made it their mission to pursue justice on behalf of their families, there simply, this simply wasnt good enough. 0ne there simply, this simply wasnt good enough. One said she only had 396 good enough. One said she only had 3 of her son back, so come in no way did this budget to do justice to their suffering and they are planning to a european court. Thank you for that update. Its estimated 650 Million People watched the moon landings live on tv and heard Neil Armstrong utter the words, thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. It was a moment in history which those who witnessed will never forget. Jane mccubbin speaks to those reliving their memories of mans greatest endeavour marjorie and kens love affair with the moon is also their love affair, because as apollo 11 hurtled through space, they were also getting married. Everything was revolving around us. It just so happened that the americans were doing something. They were revolving around the moon at our wedding reception, my father had quite a clever little quip at the end. Tomorrow, we may or may not have a man on the moon, but we most certainly will have a man on his honeymoon. Cynthia was 2a, and went to Trafalgar Square to join thousands watching the historic moment on a giant screen. And the whole place was just buzzing with people talking, and the atmosphere was terrific. It was a nervous feeling, because once they came out, i didnt know what to expect, and they didnt know what to expect. And i thought, what if they sink in the ground . You know, what if something unexpected happens, or if something comes and knocks them over . What if it goes wrong . But it didnt. It all went perfectly. Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Back in a hotel lounge on the mull of kintyre, ken and marjorie watched on a tiny black and white tv. A big cheer went up, and we actually got the pictures through. It was absolutely mind blowing to watch Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin cavorting about on the moon. It was something that i thought, oh, i would have liked to have done as well. We had no idea there were a film crew there watching us. While cynthia watched the sky, a film crew was watching her and herfriend felicity a moment in time which has been used in countless films and documentaries around the world ever since. Man landing on the moon, for me, is one of the most fantastic achievements of all time. And for you to be part of it, im just so proud youre part of that story. Youve got that sort of look of awe and wonder in your eyes. We just thought it was unbelievable, what we were seeing. We never thought we would see a man on the moon. A man on the moon . Never. The rain is coming along impulses with heavy bursts particularly over england and way is. That will push across Northern Ireland, southern scotland, and the central belt. Still a large chunk of northern scotland, not a bad day. 0vernight, more rain to come. A lot of cloud, further bursts of heavy rain. Signs the rain will turn lighter and before clearing away, will become more extensive over scotland overnight. The start of the weekend will be cloudy with further outbreaks of rain. Northern ireland has the best of the weather. Later, the rain will clear from Western Areas with sunny spells. Temperatures climbing into the mid 20s. Hello this is bbc newsroom live with carrie gracie. The headlines Public Sector workers including Police Officers, the armed forces and teachers are in line for an above inflation pay rise in one of the last announcements of the may government. Hertfordshire police say 17 people have been injured, some seriously, following a collision between two cars at a gathering in stevenage last night. The home secretary, sajid javid, says public leaders must do more to stop open racism entering mainstream politics. Im from an immigrant family and i know what its like to be told to go back where you came from. Englands schools desperately need a multi billion pound cash injection according to a group of mps. And coming up well be looking at the british scientists who worked on the apollo moon landings on its 50th anniversary. Back now to our top story two million Public Sector workers are reportedly set to get a £2 billion pay rise. The plans are set to be unveiled as one of theresa mays final acts as Prime Minister. Its the biggest Public Sector pay rise for some in six years, and comes following concerns that salaries are rising faster in the private sector. Lets speak to conservative mp chris philp. Thank you forjoining us. Is this something people can celebrate . Its only just above inflation something people can celebrate . Its onlyjust above inflation in the end . The important point is it is an above inflation pay rise and people can be happy about that. It is combined with the big increase in the personal allowance. Under the conservatives that has gone up to 12,500, meaning every Single Person has over £1000 more in their pocket after the effect of tax. I think the Public Sector pay increase, combined with that effective tax cut, means people can be happy, yes. You are a supporter of Boris Johnson and people can be happy, yes. You are a supporter of borisjohnson and he is talking about tax cuts if he does become Prime Minister, tax cuts for the upper income brackets as well and some might say you can afford a big and some might say you can afford a his pay and some might say you can afford a big pay increase for the Public Sector if you werent going to do that . He clarified those remarks in terms of his priority in terms of targeting tax cuts for those on lower incomes and increasing the National Insurance threshold. He has recognise we should be prioritising tax cuts for those on lower incomes as the conservatives have done for the last few years. That disproportionately benefits those on low incomes and the minimum wage has just gone up again to £8 21 an hour, 40 up compared with under labour. The conservatives record with helping people on low incomes is a very impressive one. The teachers, nearly half a million teachers will benefit from this pay rise, teachers have been one of the group are aware that gap has been opening between the private and the Public Sector, is this pay rise enough to close that gap . It is a very welcome move. All of these Public Sector workers being talked about today are getting pay increases above the rate of inflation. When you compare public and private sector pay you have to factor in pensions because generally speaking, in the Public Sector, the pension provision, which is a defined benefit pension scheme, it doesnt matter whether the stock market goes up or down, those Public Sector pensions are much more generous than typically people get in the private sector. When you account for the pensions as well as basic pay and Public Sector packages asa basic pay and Public Sector packages as a whole, are quite competitive. The critics, i suppose will say to your answer, they will say you may say that, but we have seen pretty much a decade of austerity and what you are doing now with this Public Sector pay rise is too little too late, you have squeezed Public Sector, Public Sector workers in a way that has damaged services . Sector, Public Sector workers in a way that has damaged service57m terms of Public Sector quality, actually if you look at schools for example, there are now far more schools rated good and outstanding today than there were nine years ago when labour left office. So School Standards have gone up considerably over the last nine years. Lets also not forget the context of all this. When the conservatives came to office in the Coalition Government in 2010, the public finances where a breaking point, the country was pretty much going bust and the outgoing labour secretary left a note in the treasury to his successor, saying we note in the treasury to his successor, saying we have run out of money. He meant it as a joke, but it was true, there was no money left. Asa was true, there was no money left. As a consequence, was true, there was no money left. As a consequence, for those under the coalition, difficult decisions had to be made to stop the country going bust. After nine years of doing that, the public finances are in much better shape, the deficit, which was running at about 10 of gdp is now less than 2 of gdp. Most of the work has been done. Now there isa of the work has been done. Now there is a bit more headroom, a bit more space. I think it is right we use that space to invest more in Public Services, partly in Hire Services for Public Sector workers, who worked very hard and do an incredibly good job. I hope also in this coming Spending Review, a bit more money for Public Services generally. Extra 20,000 Police Officers borisjohnson has pledged to fund and i fully support. Officers borisjohnson has pledged to fund and i fully supportlj officers borisjohnson has pledged to fund and i fully support. I will not challenge you on any of those points you have mate, although some of your critics would. But some of the headroom point you made, the chancellor has said there wont be that kind of headroom if there is no deal brexit. Now borisjohnson, obviously if he becomes tory leader and Prime Minister, if certain things dont fall into place in terms of the eu cooperating in rewriting their withdrawal agreement, has pledged to the uk to agreement, has pledged to the uk to a no deal brexit, so therefore no headroom under those circumstances . The current 0br forecasts show the headroom in the next Financial Year of £25 billion. If there is no deal brexit we are into slightly more uncertain times. But firstly, the predictions people have made about what may happen if we leave the European Union or if we even vote to leave. They have turned out to be pessimistic and we were warned a few yea rs pessimistic and we were warned a few years ago that even if we voted to leave, they would be an immediate recession by christmas 2016 and half a Million People would be unemployed. Those forecasts turned out to be wrong and the economy has continued to grow, we have 45 year record low unemployment and wage is growing faster than inflation. I am cautious about listening to these pessimistic voices and as much as i love Philip Hammond, i think sometimes he does air on the pessimistic side. Would you endorse the van initially expensive line about Boris Johnson the van initially expensive line about borisjohnson delivered . The van initially expensive line about Boris Johnson delivered . He said provide the European Union are in good faith, which i hope they would, to take sensible steps, as we would, to take sensible steps, as we would, to take sensible steps, as we would, to protect the trade that flows across the english channel, i think the effect could be very substantially mitigated. It does depend on a certain amount of goodwill and pragmatism on the european side but im confident they will show that. They will end up damaging their own economies, as much as ours, if decided to behave ina sort much as ours, if decided to behave in a sort of unreasonable way. Thank you forjoining us. Thank you. Lets take a look at some more of todays headlines. A teenage boy has died after collapsing at an assault course in surrey. Police were called to beare green near dorking yesterday lunchtime, but the 14 year old had died at the scene. Officers say his death is being treated as unexplained. Landlords say a government plan to ban no fault evictions in england will backfire, as lower income tenants will find it harder to rent homes. Proposals to scrap section 21 notices would mean landlords could no longer evict tenants without a reason, after their fixed term tenancy period ended. But a landlords trade group says its members will be more choosey over lets. People will soon be able to use their mobile phones, without wifi, on part of the tube. A stretch of thejubilee line between westminster and canning town will be the first tunnel to be fitted with 4g technology. If popular, it will be rolled out across the rest of the Network Later this year. A lodger who raped and murdered a 13 Year Old Girl to stop herfrom exposing him as a sex abuser has been jailed for life. Stephen nicholson, aged 25, stabbed lucy mchugh at southampton 0utdoor Sports Centre last july. He was found guilty of murder and three charges of raping lucy following a trial at Winchester Crown court, and was ordered to spend at least 33 years in jail. 0ur correspondent james ingham is outside Winchester Crown court. Tell us more about what the judges had to say today . The judge described this as a pitiless and ferocious attack against a girl who she said was very vulnerable. She said it was an execution carried out after a year of sexual exploitation. Lucy mckee was just 13 years old. She was killed by a man who had been lodging in her familys she was killed by a man who had been lodging in herfamilys home. 25 year old Stephen Nicholson, who had raped her and had taken advantage of a crush, and infatuation this young girl had on him, cynically exploiting her, said thejudge. But when him, cynically exploiting her, said the judge. But when she threatened to reveal details of the sexual exploitation, thejudge to reveal details of the sexual exploitation, the judge said to reveal details of the sexual exploitation, thejudge said he simply had to get rid of her. He lowered her to a Sports Ground in woodland in southampton and he stabbed her repeatedly in the neck, leaving her to die amongst the trees. James, we learned other things about Stephen Nicholson today in court, that he had previous convictions . Yes, we did. Stephen nicholson had beenjailed twice while he was a young juvenile. He was a resident of the Childrens Home in southampton. 0n was a resident of the Childrens Home in southampton. On one occasion he had detained, or managed to corral various staff and also other children into a room. He held them at knife point, held a knife to the neck of a female worker in this Childrens Home. He had stolen around £1000 from a safe and taken a carand around £1000 from a safe and taken a car and driven that illegally obviously, because he was under age. He was detained and given training for two years after that. But when he was in a Young Offenders institute, he did a similar thing. He shut himself inside the servery of the institute and try to repeatedly stab a worker in that Young Offenders institute, who was luckily wearing full body armour, so he wasnt injured. We have heard this repeated violent past and we also heard during the trial, after Stephen Nicholson was arrested, he was jailed for 14 months after he revealed, after he refused to give his facebook password to police who was trying to investigate his Online Activity with lucy. It is a horrible case, james. Just listening to the details is very sobering. There is going to be a serious case review, isnt there . Yes there is. In fact, that has already begun. He would expect that in a serious incident like this. What came out during the trial is that concerns were raised about lucys home life on a number of occasions. She had spoken to friends about having an older boyfriend, she named as stephen. She said she had become pregnant, but this wasnt true. Some of the School Friends had the courage to go to their teachers and lucy had been at two different schools. Those teachers had done the right thing, passed on their concerns to southampton social services, who had investigated. They had been to interview lucys mother and had concluded there was nothing to worry about. Thejudge concluded there was nothing to worry about. The judge said today, concluded there was nothing to worry about. Thejudge said today, a huge question remains about why social workers to that conclusion when these concerns were raised with them on two separate occasions. Clearly, Southampton City Council have said they will not make any comment at they will not make any comment at the moment but this will be the subject of the serious case review. Lessons could well be learned. We arejust lessons could well be learned. We are just losing the lessons could well be learned. We arejust losing the line, lessons could well be learned. We are just losing the line, jane so thank you forjoining us from winchester. The bbc and itv have revealed more details about their newjoint Subscription Service britbox. Britbox aims to provide the biggest collection of british content available on any streaming service as well as new commissions for british Production Companies specifically created for the platform. Launching in the final three months of the year, programmes confirmed for the site include gentleman jack and broadchurch. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba explained more about the service. It is very important for both the bbc and itv obviously, streaming is how an enormous proportion of the population is going to want to access the kind of programmes they wa nt to access the kind of programmes they want to see rather than in a linear fashion. Also, we have seen netflix leading the way in how popular that can be. So other services have got to keep up. There are some risks, because even though there is a huge appetite for quality, british content out there amongst the british public, they have got to look at the price, £5 99 is about the same as the basic, basic Netflix Subscription you can get and slightly less than the basic Amazon Prime Video in. But over the next 12 months, we will see some big players entering that streaming market. You are going to have people like disney, with their disney plus service with spin offs from the immensely popular star wars and marvel universe and other products and we will see apple launching their own streaming service with huge figures like stephen spielberg, jj abrams, the director. 0prah winfrey involved in making content for that. So it is going to be a huge challenge over the next few yea rs huge challenge over the next few years for all of the services to carve out their little bit of the market, because suddenly we are being flooded with so many Different Streaming Services on individual Subscription Services as well as the bbc licence fee. The headlines on bbc news Public Sector workers are set to receive above inflation pay rises costing the government £2 billion. 17 people have been injured, some seriously, in a car cruise crash in stevenage. The home secretary calls on public leaders to moderate their language in order to stop the spread of poisonous ideologies. Whether its almond, soy or coconut, it seems more people are ditching cows milk for plant based products with many citing concerns over health, ethics and the environment. A quarter of british people are now drinking non dairy milk, according to a survey of 2,000 people by the Market Research firm mintel. 16 to 24 year olds are the biggest users of non dairy milk thats 33 . But despite this, plant based milks still only make up just 4 of the milk market, with the majority of milk sales last year being for cows milk. Well earlier our reporter rick kelsey told me more about this trend. It is always interesting to see a Consumer Trend predominantly driven by under 25 year olds, which is having a wider effect on the rest of the market. Whether you are seeing is about a third of under 25 year olds actually choosing to have oats, rice or soy or almond milk instead of cows milk. 33 are drinking them regularly. It is important to say, when we look at this as a wider percentage, it is only 4 of the entire milk market. 96 of people are still having cows milk. But what it is doing, it is having a knock on effect to the greater population so a quarter of british people now over all are drinking non dairy milks. That is a significant shift. But there is only a small proportion of the milk market, as it were and then people are giving a variety of reasons, notjust one reason . That is pretty clear. Health is the first reason people are giving up and why they are making this shift. You can debate that all day, when you take cows milk out of your system and have a pla nt based alternative, is it a good thing . We can talk about that all day. What is more clear is when we talk about the environment and we can see on this chart, when it comes to cows milk there is an enormous difference in the impact on the environment. This comes in three main reasons. The emissions of cows, land use and water use. If you look at these different milks we see growing, oats, rice and soy milk, to a lesser extent, almond milk because the almond milk takes an enormous amount of water to produce. That is the second reason what was clearly what people are saying is why they are making this shift is because they have concerns that dairy farming is not good for the environment. Is at the environmental health, or are there other reasons as well . There are other reasons as well but they are predominantly what people are saying. It is important to note, the change in how we consume milk is not simply down to how we just go to the shop and drink it. A lot of these people who are going out and buying the milk are still using cows milk when it comes to cooking. Why are they doing that . There is an explosion in plant based milk when it comes to marketing, especially towards young people but they might be having a cup of tea or coffee when they come to work and using milk from the fridge at work. I think what is relevant to note is that is the type of milk we are consuming. But also the way we can get our milk is changing. We have seen a return to the traditional milkman or woman delivering milk to our doorstep. My mum called me Old Fashioned when she saw i had an old milk bottle in my fridge. I said mum, this is changing and that is because of Single Use Plastics and how we get our milk to the door. The apollo 11 mission to the moon, which has its 50th anniversary this week, took around 400,000 people to achieve it. That included engineers, scientists and other technicians. Whats not well known is that up to 30 british engineers were also brought in to help the project succeed. They included everyone from people who helped train Neil Armstrong to designing the fuel cells on the saturn 5 rocket. Duncan kennedy reports. They had the world behind them and the moon in front. Liftoff. As easy as a, b, c for armstrong, buzz and collins well not really. It took 400,000 people to make this happen. Including british engineers. It consumes hydrogen and oxygen to water and produces electrical energy. Like francis tom bacon. At Cambridge University he developed the first Hydrogen Oxygen fuel cell that provided power, heat and clean water to apollo 11. His colleagues recall a gentleman engineer. He was always terribly polite. He would ask you what your interests were and if they had any bearing on the fuel cell, he was deeply interested. But if they didnt, he switched off. Britain had its own Rocket Programme from the 1950s. Missiles like blue streak and black arrow were tested here on the isle of wight. But when the blue streak and other projects were cancelled here, and the Arrow Programme cancelled in canada, that meant highly skilled, british engineers had to go somewhere else and where did many of them end up . Well its thought between 20 and 30 of them went to work for nasa on the moon space programme. With the laser reflector in the background. One of them was keith wright from dorset. He helped create the main experiments carried out on the moon. This is buzz aldrin carrying keiths equipment. The aim to measure vibrations on the lunar surface. What was it like to be, in effect, a part of history, apollo 11 . When we actually landed, we alljumped, we did it then again, as soon as we heard theyd deployed the experiments, it was great, it was our part done and it worked. 0ther british engineers on apollo 11 did everything from helping redesign this contraption after Neil Armstrong had to make this ejection from it during training, to creating the Mission Control centre itself. The giant leap to the moon may have been made wearing american boots, but some of the small steps had a british footprint as well. Duncan kennedy, bbc news. Wildlife experts say the uk could be experiencing a once in a decade wildlife phenomenon this year, with a mass influx of painted lady butterflies. The species is a common sight but about once every ten years, there is a painted lady summer when millions arrive en masse. Were being asked to help record numbers from today as part of an annual survey by the Butterfly Conservation society. Richard fox is from the charity. Everyone loves to see butterflies, of course, they are a quintessential part of the british summer, bringing colour and movement to our gardens. But Big Butterfly count is a chance for everyone to get involved, spent 15 minutes outdoors in your garden come spend 15 minutes outdoors in your garden come in the countryside, walking the dog, literally anyone can take part, in any sunny place, counted the butterflies you see in any sunny place, count the butterflies you see and submit those sightings. This is the tenth year of Big Butterfly count, and it has grown from 10,000 people in the first year, it has grown hugely, around 100,000 people took part across the uk last year, so, it is by far the biggest count of butterflies anywhere in the world. Not only is a great opportunity for people to take time out of their busy daily lives. Sadly, things are gloomy for british butterflies, three quarters of species have declined. That includes the common butterflies we asked people to look out for as part of the Big Butterfly count, species like the small tortoiseshell, a beautiful colourful butterfly, people might see on their buddleia bushes, numbers have declined by three quarters since the 1970s. And other common butterflies are on the decline. Some species are doing really well. The painted lady that we mentioned as an example of that, we get these big infulxes from time to time of painted ladies, it looks like this year could be a good yearfor them. Photographers from far and wide have been flocking to the welsh coast at night, to capture a spectacular phenomenon. Bioluminscent plankton is appearing to make the sea off anglesey glow a bright blue. Bioluminescence describes the light that some living creatures, such as fireflies and jellyfish, emit from their cells. Photographer Kris Williams has been all around the welsh coast capturing the spectacle since 2016. The bioluminescent plankton watch Wales Facebook group now has more than 6,000 members. Well bring you all the weather in a moment. First, just to let you know whats happening this evening on bbc news. We have a special programme on the liberal democrat leadership contest where the two candidates, jo swinson and ed davey, will go head to head at 7 00 this evening.

My my garden hasnt seen a lot of rain in recent weeks. But pulses of rain is working across england and wales. Across scotland, bar a few showers in decent weather. But to the west of Northern Ireland, england and wales, we have thicker cloud lining up wales, we have thicker cloud lining up to bring thicker pulses of rain. The rain will turn right at times and heavy at times, but it looks 01 56 46,872 2147483052 35 08,749 like the weather will turn 2147483052 35 08,749 4294966103 13 29,430 increasingly
