the bbc has been told that the first 50 people will be moved to a barge docked off the south coast of england later today. the barge is called the bibby stockholm — and it will be used to house up to 500 men while they await the outcome of their asylum applications. campaigners have expressed concern about the conditions on board, but the government insists the vessel is safe — and that it will help reduce the cost of placing migrants in hotels. dan johnson reports. government sources have suggested the first asylum seekers will be moved due to portland today to go on board the bibby stockholm, the accommodation barge that has been more cheer for the last few weeks will so far been emptied, there have been delays because of concerns about fire safety, other health and safety issues that occurred and had to be dealt with, but now sources are suggesting that everything is ready. and we know some asylum seekers have received letters telling them that they will be on the move today. so far no movement, we've not seen anyone leaving hotels are arriving here at the port. it is not actually possible to see the board from this position, but we have a cameras in other spots that should see if someone does manage to get aboard today. the government is under pressure to make this work. it has made a priority of putting a tougher line in place on immigration and stopping migrants crossing the channel on small boats. those dangerous journeys that have cost lives. this is part of the solution. reducing the hotel bill for housing asylum seekers, which currently runs at around £6 million a day, but there have been issues, there have been challenges, delays and controversy. it is hugely controversial, there have been protests here in portland against this and the impact it may have on the community and public services here on this island. there has been wider opposition about the sort of conditions that these asylum seekers face. a big test now of whether the government can actually deliver on its promises, plans and rhetoric and make this workable. the uk government has also said it will triple fines against employers and landlords who allow legal migrants work for them around rent their properties. firms who are found to have repeatedly employed illegal migrants could face fines of up to £60,000 per breach. the home office says opportunities for illegal working and renting are significant pull factors for illegal migration. immigration minister robertjenrick said the move would help to deter the dangerous channel crossings. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardley has more. the government's argument is that it's a significant part of the business models that help bring people to the uk on small boats. they are making a pretty big thing today of saying we think that cracking down on people working illegally or living in accommodation illegally will have an impact. so the two things the government are seeing today is one, yes, we will increase those fine significantly, to say to employers and landlords if you have someone illegally working for you are living in your accommodation then you could face financial ruin. the government also saying it is going to increase enforcement of these fines and make sure it is cracking down as much as possible on people who are breaking the law. so i think it's part of a wider messaging, we were talking earlier about the bibby stockholm and the government's plans to house some asylum seekers on barges. saying they willl throw the book at this issue and everything we can to reduce the amount of people coming into the uk and the big question is what impact will it have and will it fulfil rishi sunak�*s promise to stop the small boats? the world cup, we are into the second half as england face nigeria. part of the last 16. still goalless, the nigerians of course are 11 time african champions, but have never gone further than the quarterfinal stage at the world cup, meanwhile england did of course when euro 2022 last summer and are amongst the favourites to win the term in this year, especially with those big names like the usa and germany out. later, australia take on denmark in a game that is also proving ha rd to hard to predict. 0ur reporter emily brown who is in sheffield — at the england defender — millie bright's former football club. what

and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. newly released figures from the mortgage lender, halifax, says uk house prices have dropped for the fourth month in a row. they were down nought point three per cent between june and july. despite the falls, prices remain much higher than before the covid pandemic. the bank of england raised interest rates for the 14th time in a row, last week. the charity which helped quash andrew malkinson's rape conviction is calling for any deductions for prison living costs taken from compensation given to wrongly convicted people to be retrospectively reimbursed. the government said it would scrap the rule — which could have seen mr malkinson pay for his time in prison. the appeal charity wants this to be extended to all past prisoners. the nhs system for seriously ill people requiring care at home is struggling to provide sufficient support. families of people with complex medical needs are warning, despite a significant increase in spending on continuing healthcare — staff shortages and rising prices are making it increasingly difficult to find enough help. the government says it's putting billions of pounds into extra funding. the world scout jamboree in south korea will end early due to a typhoon warning, organisers have confirmed. it comes after the uk association relocated four and a half thousand members to hotels over safety concerns at the campsite. 0ur correspondent in seoul, jean mackenzie, has been speaking to the chief executive of uk scouts — matt hyde. we are both disappointed and feel let down by the organisers, because we repeatedly raised some of these concerns before we went, during when we went, we were promised things were going to be put in place and they weren't. if you can imagine toilets that are being used by thousands and thousands of people that are not being cleaned with the regularity you'd expect, you can imagine the sort of things that people were seeing. it wasn't just that. it was actually the lack of soap as well. so again, it's the compounding impact of all these things together. but like all of these things, when you're put in a position where you have to make difficult decisions, there are choices. we have at this point had to make the difficult choice of investing our money to ensure that young people are safe. that is the right thing to do. and the board took that decision and stand by it 100% unanimously. what sort of sum are we talking about here? well, we're assessing that at the moment. but you can probably imagine you're dealing with, as i say, 4,500 people plus, times number of rooms, travel, food. we must be talking hundreds of thousands of pounds? yes, many. another week—long ban on an ongoing dispute over pay in the uk. 15 rail operating companies will be affected and hundreds of services could be cancelled. scientists at porton down — the uk's science and defence technology base — are taking on a new and, as yet, unidentified enemy. inside the laboratories, experts are preparing for what is known as disease x — or the next pandemic virus. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes was given rare access to the facility. the delicate task of protecting the nation's health. this is one of the laboratories at porton down, where scientists are analysing current threats — new variants of covid, for example — and trying to identify new ones. inside these purpose—built labs, more than 200 scientists working for the uk health security agency are helping to develop and test vaccines against a range of diseases. it's vital work to keep us all safe. we've got, in many respects, the toughestjob in the world, which is to protect health against infectious diseases and environmental hazards and it is tough because we know the risks of new and emerging infections, including those of pandemic potential, is increasing. we maintain a constant state of vigilance but what we also do here in our laboratories is the research to understand those threats. as and when they arrive, we are able to control them rapidly and effectively, before they have the kind of enormous impact on our lives that covid—19 did. for decades, scientists at porton down have been involved in medical research, as well as the work on chemical and biological warfare for which the centre is perhaps better known. file: the first apparatus in the world for growing antibiotics continuously. but the coronavirus pandemic presented a new and urgent challenge. during the pandemic, laboratories like this one played an absolutely vital role in assessing how effective the vaccines were in combating the coronavirus, and that work continues today. but as well as monitoring how effective existing vaccines are against new covid variants, the new vaccine development and evaluation centre is looking at emerging threats for which no vaccine yet exists. one of those is crimean—congo haemorrhagic fever, a virus that is spread by the bite of an infected tick and is fatal in about 30% of cases. a serious outbreak occurred in afghanistan in 2017 but the disease is widespread across africa, asia, the middle east and the balkans. changes to climate and the way we live mean viruses like this one could find a way to the uk. but equally, the next pandemic could be caused by a virus that has yet to be identified — what experts call disease x. well, covid, of course, is not a one—off. it's a pathogen that's arisen, but in a rising tide of risk. so, we have climate change, we've got mosquitoes, we've got ticks, we've got different habitats, we've got urbanisation with closeness between animals and humans, so this unit here is designed to try and get ahead of that curve, to identify the pathogens that may cause risk and then, to stop them before they do their harm. dangers known and unknown. these scientists will be working to make sure we are prepared for both. dominic hughes, bbc news, porton down. just an update on a and football game taking place at the moment, the women cut world cup, england, the lionesses are taking on nigeria's falcons, and england are now down to ten players after the forward lauren james was sent off with a red card. we understand the incident involved a yellow card initially for a bad tackle, and as laurenjames stood up she stamped on the nigerian, a nigerian player's back, so england now down to ten players. we are into the 86th, 88th minutes. we have some added time on that. this is what we've been seeing in the world cup, haven't we, some of the favourites really struggling and some are out of the tournament, so we are coming towards the end of england versus nigeria, we will let you know what happens next but england are down to ten players. an inquest due to begin today into the death of a 27—year—old man. his family believe was linked to mould in their privately rented home. luke brooks died from respiratory problems last year. the case will be heard by the same coroner who investigated the death of two—year—old awaab ishak, who died due to mould exposure in 2020. 0ur north of england correspondent, fiona trott, reports. he had plans. he's never going to experience love. he's never going to have children. i've got a great grandchild on the way and he's not going to see it. we've shouted from the top of the mountain, haven't we? nothing. nobody�*s helped us — no—one. what is life like for you at the moment? oh, god. nightmare. absolute nightmare. afraid of the house they were living in. shouldn't be doing that. it's all wet. we first visited jimmy and patsy about three months ago. it's where luke died. they believe all this killed him. it started, he said, "mum, my chest feels a bit bit sore." i said, "right," i said, "we'll keep an eye on it." and he progressively got worse, to the point where he could hardly breathe. two days after, dead, gone. mould was everywhere, it was even on their clothes. caused by nine years of disrepair, they believe, and constant leaks. second leak. you can see it's going down the walls. i was stood here, i was doing sandwiches for my son. next minute, i felt the drip and the next minute i got a shower. every time they go in the shower, that leaks. that's dangerous, that. i'm frightened of one of them getting electrocuted up there. there's wires there. what has the landlord done about it? nothing. "i'll get it sorted." everything's knackered in here. waste of space, man. this is luke's room. where was the mould? all around the windows. it's ridiculous. it's freezing cold. when mould forms across here, my mind starts racing and then i start thinking about him and ijust can't stop crying. he was my rock, my best mate. beautiful lad. why couldn't they just sort it out? why couldn't they just fix it? i'd have looked after it. nine years of hell we've had, nine years of hell. surviving the cold. surviving this, surviving that. it shouldn't be about surviving. i've not had a life, me and my husband, or my family. it's just been this house. "what are we going to do? what can... how can we do...? get out of here. what can we do?" you know what i mean? i've tried. this all feels quite familiar because the hearing into luke's death is being held by the same coroner and in the same court as the awaab ishak inquest, the little toddler who died from mould exposure in his home. and at that inquest, we heard there was concern about this automatic assumption that in houses like these across the uk, it's tenants and their lifestyles that are to blame. and patsy and jimmy have told us they did everything. they said they even used mould treatment themselves. they played their part, they say, and they want this inquest to find out if their landlords and other authorities played their part, too. we've approached the landlord for comment but haven't yet had a response. meanwhile, both the department for levelling up housing and communities and 0ldham council expressed their deepest condolences and said they were unable to discuss the case until the inquest was over. jimmy and patsy have now moved. hi, patsy, how are you doing? all right. oh, wow. it's very different, isn't it? it's warm and it even smells different. clea n. no mould. you all right? you look well. hi,jimmy. you all right? yeah. how do you feel? better. the last time you said, "living." you're not living, you're surviving. yeah, i were surviving, we weren't living lives. we were surviving, that was it. do you feel you've got your life back? definitely, yeah. patsy and jimmy say their grief is compounded by their need for answers. they hope the inquest will help them heal. i'm just moving on. i'm moving on. i'm going to try. it's not going to be easy. fiona trott, bbc news 0ldham. local time in australia, 7:25. in the evening. just want to show you pictures of fans arriving at the stadium in sydney because the horse will be facing denmark shortly in the last 16, a reminder of a match which is into its dying minutes, england playing nigeria, the score is 0—0, england have lost one player, sent off initially for a yellow card for a bad tackle but a red card after it was ruled and confirmed on vr that she stamped on the back of a nigerian player, so now down to ten players, and we will be bringing you the latest on that. one of the world's longest serving leaders... ..hun sen of cambodia, has handed over power to his son, hun manet who has been appointed prime minister by cambodia's king. hun sen made the announcement days after a landslide election victory. it ends his decades—long reign. analysts say stability was established — but democracy was stifled — under his rule. 0ur south east asia correspondent jonathan head sent this update. hun sen's eldest son hun manet is now the new prime minister, although he has to go before parliament to have his new government confirmed in the next couple of weeks but that is a formality as well because the ruling party, which is very much hun sen's own vehicle, completely dominates parliament after an election in which the main opposition was actually banned from contesting it. so the new prime minister is a much younger face, a different generation, little—known — has been very prominent in the cambodian army and western educated, unlike his father, who came up through the crucible of a revolution, a very different background, but not tested in politics. has really only been active in politics in the last year so nobody knows what kind of prime minister he is going to be but i think the hope is that this a gradual transition and does not create any dramatic changes and that hun sen's son gets a chance to bed down. it is a difficult thing to do, hun sen has so dominated the country in these last 38 years, come to almost personalise politics, sits at the centre of a web of complex alliances with other powerfulfigures, all of whom are ambitious, and has very skilfully played one off against the other, bought them off as well. cambodia has lots of challenges, and economy very dependent on international demand, there is quality, environmental destruction, massive corruption, all things that will challenge this new untested man in charge of the country. extra time at the england nigeria match. stay with us here on bbc news. as we head towards the middle of the working week, it looks like things will warm up but it will not last terribly long because overnight thursday into friday a cold front sweeps across us, bringing rain and fresher conditions. today we have high—pressure — weather fronts waiting in the wings to come our way a bit later in the day, more particularly to wales & the south—west. a fair bit of sunshine, lots of dry weather around this afternoon, some scattered showers the odd sharp one, the heaviest of which across northern scotland and the clouds thickening up with light rain and patchy drizzle coming into south—west england and south west wales. top temperature is about 21. the cloud and rain will push in through the course of this evening and overnight, heading northwards and racers, quite a bit of a fog in the coast and hills, but to the north of that, for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, clear skies picking up across the north—east. and feeling muggy we have got the cloud and patchy light rain and drizzle. through the course of tomorrow that would drift further eastwards, break up later in the day but for some largely dry day with sunshine, a few showers in the far north—east where it will also be windy. through the evening, the rain continues to drift over towards the east and you can see this line of cloud here. this weather front, a fairly weak affair, but high—pressure starts to build in. you can see it coming your way. on wednesday itself we have this weak temperatures in cloud, possibly the odd shower out of it, could see some breaks, but to the north and east of it, better conditions and sunshine but quite one day across the far north—east of scotland and wednesday you can see the jet stream is to the north of us, a more typical position in a british summer and we are pulling in all this warm air from the near continent,

the bbc has been told that the first 50 people will be moved to a barge docked off the south coast of england later today. the barge is called the bibby stockholm — and it will be used to house up to 500 men while they await the outcome of their asylum applications. campaigners have expressed concern about the conditions on board, but the government insists the vessel is safe — and that it will help reduce the cost of placing migrants in hotels. dan johnson reports. government sources have suggested the first asylum seekers will be moved due to portland today to go on board the bibby stockholm, the accommodation barge that has been more cheer for the last few weeks will so far been emptied, there have been delays because of concerns about fire safety, other health and safety issues that occurred and had to be dealt with, but now sources are suggesting that everything is ready. and we know some asylum seekers have received letters telling them that they will be on the move today. so far no movement, we've not seen anyone leaving hotels are arriving here at the port. it is not actually possible to see the board from this position, but we have a cameras in other spots that should see if someone does manage to get aboard today. the government is under pressure to make this work. it has made a priority of putting a tougher line in place on immigration and stopping migrants crossing the channel on small boats. those dangerous journeys that have cost lives. this is part of the solution. reducing the hotel bill for housing asylum seekers, which currently runs at around £6 million a day, but there have been issues, there have been challenges, delays and controversy. it is hugely controversial, there have been protests here in portland against this and the impact it may have on the community and public services here on this island. there has been wider opposition about the sort of conditions that these asylum seekers face. a big test now of whether the government can actually deliver on its promises, plans and rhetoric and make this workable. the uk government has also said it will triple fines against employers and landlords who allow legal migrants work for them around rent their properties. firms who are found to have repeatedly employed illegal migrants could face fines of up to £60,000 per breach. the home office says opportunities for illegal working and renting are significant pull factors for illegal migration. immigration minister robertjenrick said the move would help to deter the dangerous channel crossings. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardley has more. the government's argument is that it's a significant part of the business models that help bring people to the uk on small boats. they are making a pretty big thing today of saying we think that cracking down on people working illegally or living in accommodation illegally will have an impact. so the two things the government are seeing today is one, yes, we will increase those fine significantly, to say to employers and landlords if you have someone illegally working for you are living in your accommodation then you could face financial ruin. the government also saying it is going to increase enforcement of these fines and make sure it is cracking down as much as possible on people who are breaking the law. so i think it's part of a wider messaging, we were talking earlier about the bibby stockholm and the government's plans to house some asylum seekers on barges. saying they willl throw the book at this issue and everything we can to reduce the amount of people coming into the uk and the big question is what impact will it have and will it fulfil rishi sunak�*s promise to stop the small boats? the world cup, we are into the second half as england face nigeria. part of the last 16. still goalless, the nigerians of course are 11 time african champions, but have never gone further than the quarterfinal stage at the world cup, meanwhile england did of course when euro 2022 last summer and are amongst the favourites to win the term in this year, especially with those big names like the usa and germany out. later, australia take on denmark in a game that is also proving ha rd to hard to predict. 0ur reporter emily brown who is in sheffield — at the england defender — millie bright's former football club. what

chelsea and is now captaining the lionesses. i've been told she is keen to stick to her roots, has come back you quite a few times and met her former coaches and some of the current players and we can

and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. newly released figures from the mortgage lender, halifax, says uk house prices have dropped for the fourth month in a row. they were down nought point three per cent between june and july. despite the falls, prices remain much higher than before the covid pandemic. the bank of england raised interest rates for the 14th time in a row, last week. the charity which helped quash andrew malkinson's rape conviction is calling for any deductions for prison living costs taken from compensation given to wrongly convicted people to be retrospectively reimbursed. the government said it would scrap the rule — which could have seen mr malkinson pay for his time in prison. the appeal charity wants this to be extended to all past prisoners. the nhs system for seriously ill people requiring care at home is struggling to provide sufficient support. families of people with complex medical needs are warning, despite a significant increase in spending on continuing healthcare — staff shortages and rising prices are making it increasingly difficult to find enough help. the government says it's putting billions of pounds into extra funding. the world scout jamboree in south korea will end early due to a typhoon warning, organisers have confirmed. it comes after the uk association relocated four and a half thousand members to hotels over safety concerns at the campsite. 0ur correspondent in seoul, jean mackenzie, has been speaking to the chief executive of uk scouts — matt hyde. we are both disappointed and feel let down by the organisers, because we repeatedly raised some of these concerns before we went, during when we went, we were promised things were going to be put in place and they weren't. if you can imagine toilets that are being used by thousands and thousands of people that are not being cleaned with the regularity you'd expect, you can imagine the sort of things that people were seeing. it wasn't just that. it was actually the lack of soap as well. so again, it's the compounding impact of all these things together. but like all of these things, when you're put in a position where you have to make difficult decisions, there are choices. we have at this point had to make the difficult choice of investing our money to ensure that young people are safe. that is the right thing to do. and the board took that decision and stand by it 100% unanimously. what sort of sum are we talking about here? well, we're assessing that at the moment. but you can probably imagine you're dealing with, as i say, 4,500 people plus, times number of rooms, travel, food. we must be talking hundreds of thousands of pounds? yes, many. another week—long ban on an ongoing dispute over pay in the uk. 15 rail operating companies will be affected and hundreds of services could be cancelled. scientists at porton down — the uk's science and defence technology base — are taking on a new and, as yet, unidentified enemy. inside the laboratories, experts are preparing for what is known as disease x — or the next pandemic virus. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes was given rare access to the facility. the delicate task of protecting the nation's health. this is one of the laboratories at porton down, where scientists are analysing current threats — new variants of covid, for example — and trying to identify new ones. inside these purpose—built labs, more than 200 scientists working for the uk health security agency are helping to develop and test vaccines against a range of diseases. it's vital work to keep us all safe. we've got, in many respects, the toughestjob in the world, which is to protect health against infectious diseases and environmental hazards and it is tough because we know the risks of new and emerging infections, including those of pandemic potential, is increasing. we maintain a constant state of vigilance but what we also do here in our laboratories is the research to understand those threats. as and when they arrive, we are able to control them rapidly and effectively, before they have the kind of enormous impact on our lives that covid—19 did. for decades, scientists at porton down have been involved in medical research, as well as the work on chemical and biological warfare for which the centre is perhaps better known. file: the first apparatus in the world for growing antibiotics continuously. but the coronavirus pandemic presented a new and urgent challenge. during the pandemic, laboratories like this one played an absolutely vital role in assessing how effective the vaccines were in combating the coronavirus, and that work continues today. but as well as monitoring how effective existing vaccines are against new covid variants, the new vaccine development and evaluation centre is looking at emerging threats for which no vaccine yet exists. one of those is crimean—congo haemorrhagic fever, a virus that is spread by the bite of an infected tick and is fatal in about 30% of cases. a serious outbreak occurred in afghanistan in 2017 but the disease is widespread across africa, asia, the middle east and the balkans. changes to climate and the way we live mean viruses like this one could find a way to the uk. but equally, the next pandemic could be caused by a virus that has yet to be identified — what experts call disease x. well, covid, of course, is not a one—off. it's a pathogen that's arisen, but in a rising tide of risk. so, we have climate change, we've got mosquitoes, we've got ticks, we've got different habitats, we've got urbanisation with closeness between animals and humans, so this unit here is designed to try and get ahead of that curve, to identify the pathogens that may cause risk and then, to stop them before they do their harm. dangers known and unknown. these scientists will be working to make sure we are prepared for both. dominic hughes, bbc news, porton down. just an update on a and football game taking place at the moment, the women cut world cup, england, the lionesses are taking on nigeria's falcons, and england are now down to ten players after the forward lauren james was sent off with a red card. we understand the incident involved a yellow card initially for a bad tackle, and as laurenjames stood up she stamped on the nigerian, a nigerian player's back, so england now down to ten players. we are into the 86th, 88th minutes. we have some added time on that. this is what we've been seeing in the world cup, haven't we, some of the favourites really struggling and some are out of the tournament, so we are coming towards the end of england versus nigeria, we will let you know what happens next but england are down to ten players. an inquest due to begin today into the death of a 27—year—old man. his family believe was linked to mould in their privately rented home. luke brooks died from respiratory problems last year. the case will be heard by the same coroner who investigated the death of two—year—old awaab ishak, who died due to mould exposure in 2020. 0ur north of england correspondent, fiona trott, reports. he had plans. he's never going to experience love. he's never going to have children. i've got a great grandchild on the way and he's not going to see it. we've shouted from the top of the mountain, haven't we? nothing. nobody�*s helped us — no—one. what is life like for you at the moment? oh, god. nightmare. absolute nightmare. afraid of the house they were living in. shouldn't be doing that. it's all wet. we first visited jimmy and patsy about three months ago. it's where luke died. they believe all this killed him. it started, he said, "mum, my chest feels a bit bit sore." i said, "right," i said, "we'll keep an eye on it." and he progressively got worse, to the point where he could hardly breathe. two days after, dead, gone. mould was everywhere, it was even on their clothes. caused by nine years of disrepair, they believe, and constant leaks. second leak. you can see it's going down the walls. i was stood here, i was doing sandwiches for my son. next minute, i felt the drip and the next minute i got a shower. every time they go in the shower, that leaks. that's dangerous, that. i'm frightened of one of them getting electrocuted up there. there's wires there. what has the landlord done about it? nothing. "i'll get it sorted." everything's knackered in here. waste of space, man. this is luke's room. where was the mould? all around the windows. it's ridiculous. it's freezing cold. when mould forms across here, my mind starts racing and then i start thinking about him and ijust can't stop crying. he was my rock, my best mate. beautiful lad. why couldn't they just sort it out? why couldn't they just fix it? i'd have looked after it. nine years of hell we've had, nine years of hell. surviving the cold. surviving this, surviving that. it shouldn't be about surviving. i've not had a life, me and my husband, or my family. it's just been this house. "what are we going to do? what can... how can we do...? get out of here. what can we do?" you know what i mean? i've tried. this all feels quite familiar because the hearing into luke's death is being held by the same coroner and in the same court as the awaab ishak inquest, the little toddler who died from mould exposure in his home. and at that inquest, we heard there was concern about this automatic assumption that in houses like these across the uk, it's tenants and their lifestyles that are to blame. and patsy and jimmy have told us they did everything. they said they even used mould treatment themselves. they played their part, they say, and they want this inquest to find out if their landlords and other authorities played their part, too. we've approached the landlord for comment but haven't yet had a response. meanwhile, both the department for levelling up housing and communities and 0ldham council expressed their deepest condolences and said they were unable to discuss the case until the inquest was over. jimmy and patsy have now moved. hi, patsy, how are you doing? all right. oh, wow. it's very different, isn't it? it's warm and it even smells different. clea n. no mould. you all right? you look well. hi,jimmy. you all right? yeah. how do you feel? better. the last time you said, "living." you're not living, you're surviving. yeah, i were surviving, we weren't living lives. we were surviving, that was it. do you feel you've got your life back? definitely, yeah. patsy and jimmy say their grief is compounded by their need for answers. they hope the inquest will help them heal. i'm just moving on. i'm moving on. i'm going to try. it's not going to be easy. fiona trott, bbc news 0ldham. local time in australia, 7:25. in the evening. just want to show you pictures of fans arriving at the stadium in sydney because the horse will be facing denmark shortly in the last 16, a reminder of a match which is into its dying minutes, england playing nigeria, the score is 0—0, england have lost one player, sent off initially for a yellow card for a bad tackle but a red card after it was ruled and confirmed on vr that she stamped on the back of a nigerian player, so now down to ten players, and we will be bringing you the latest on that. one of the world's longest serving leaders... ..hun sen of cambodia, has handed over power to his son, hun manet who has been appointed prime minister by cambodia's king. hun sen made the announcement days after a landslide election victory. it ends his decades—long reign. analysts say stability was established — but democracy was stifled — under his rule. 0ur south east asia correspondent jonathan head sent this update. hun sen's eldest son hun manet is now the new prime minister, although he has to go before parliament to have his new government confirmed in the next couple of weeks but that is a formality as well because the ruling party, which is very much hun sen's own vehicle, completely dominates parliament after an election in which the main opposition was actually banned from contesting it. so the new prime minister is a much younger face, a different generation, little—known — has been very prominent in the cambodian army and western educated, unlike his father, who came up through the crucible of a revolution, a very different background, but not tested in politics. has really only been active in politics in the last year so nobody knows what kind of prime minister he is going to be but i think the hope is that this a gradual transition and does not create any dramatic changes and that hun sen's son gets a chance to bed down. it is a difficult thing to do, hun sen has so dominated the country in these last 38 years, come to almost personalise politics, sits at the centre of a web of complex alliances with other powerfulfigures, all of whom are ambitious, and has very skilfully played one off against the other, bought them off as well. cambodia has lots of challenges, and economy very dependent on international demand, there is quality, environmental destruction, massive corruption, all things that will challenge this new untested man in charge of the country. extra time at the england nigeria match. stay with us here on bbc news. as we head towards the middle of the working week, it looks like things will warm up but it will not last terribly long because overnight thursday into friday a cold front sweeps across us, bringing rain and fresher conditions. today we have high—pressure — weather fronts waiting in the wings to
