Southwards as well, but the clear skies will continue through the rest of today across much of wales, the midlands, in towards east anglia and southern counties of england and the Channel Islands and temperatures up a little bit, one or two micro degrees warmer than yesterday, peaking at 26 celsius in the south east, mid 20s in the midlands, fresher around the coast but strong sunshine overhead. More cloud in northern england, Northern Ireland and southern scotland, the odd bright a break but lothian could see spots of rain or drizzle. Damn kissed conditions in northern scotland, particularly for the hebrides and highlands, more persistent rain the most damp conditions in northern scotland. Tonight, bringing a few splashes of rain into south east scotland initially but clearing away some of the persistent rain from northern scotland. A bit more cloud tonight in southern counties but generally long, clear spells and not quite as chilly as recent nights, most places double figure temperatures. Tomorrow, almost a repeat performance, many central and southern areas stay dry and sunny, a bit more cloud than today. Some brea ks bit more cloud than today. Some breaks in the cloud to the east of the pennines, county down and in eastern scotland so temperatures up a bit here but the cloud could produce the odd shower across northern england, Northern Ireland and still rather damp in the far north of scotland, where temperature is only 14 degrees, compared to 27 oi is only 14 degrees, compared to 27 or 28 is only 14 degrees, compared to 27 or28 in the is only 14 degrees, compared to 27 or 28 in the south east corner. 28 is 82 fahrenheit. The fresh air will be on its way southwards, friday night and into saturday behind the cold front, winds coming in from a more northerly direction. It means brighter weather across the northern half of the country but on our weather front, ive left it on here to track it southwards, a lot more cloud and the chance of some outbreaks of rain. Maybe well see oui outbreaks of rain. Maybe well see our first splashes of rain at wimbledon, not much around though, many places will be dry, but it will stop temperatures rising as much on saturday. A fresher feel on the eastern coast thanks to the breeze. Scotla nd eastern coast thanks to the breeze. Scotland and Northern Ireland may feel warmer. Light winds to take us into sunday, a fresh start, most places will be dry, apply cloud will bubble up and its across england and wales particularly central and eastern areas we could catch one or two micro showers. Temperatures, teams across the eastern coast, low 20s in the southwest and southern areas will warm up once again at the start of next week. A reminder of our main story this lunchtime. Patients lives are being put at risk because of delays treating them for sepsis. This baby is among the victims of the so called hidden killer. Thats all from the bbc news at one. Its goodbye from me. On bbc one we nowjoin the bbcs news teams where you are. Good afternoon. Its 1 30pm and heres your latest sports news. We have five british players in action on day four at wimbledon, so lets get straight over to the all england club. John watson is there for us. Whos carrying the hopes of the nation . The day has started well . Yes, particularfor harriet the day has started well . Yes, particular for harriet dart, who looks as though she is on the cusp booking her place in the next round. Lets take it over to court 12 for what could potentially be the conclusion of this match. She has never been to the third round of any slam before, so this would be a huge result for her. She is through now to the third round, we can bring you these pictures was up signing autographs as she heads off because she will be the talk of wimbledon with that brilliant result. It could set upa with that brilliant result. It could set up a potentially fascinating matchup in the next round where she looks set to play the world number one, ash party. On centre court, we could see another upset. We have Cameron Norrie playing the number seven seed, a former grand champion. Is serving to bring it back level. Having come through his first wimbledon whim, it will be some story if cameron could book his place in the next round. Johanna konta is a british ii and she faces her opponent a little later. She came through the first round in straight sets. Her opponent knocked out the naomi soccer a few weeks ago, sojahan out the naomi soccer a few weeks ago, so jahan accountable be hoping she can book a place in the third round as well. Spare a thought for jay clark who takes on Roger Federer later. Dan evans is also in action at the moment, and he looks to be on the cusp of wrapping up their second set at the moment. Dan evans is currently in that one at the moment. What a matchup that will be. That is the brits, but looking to later. Rafa nadal takes on nick kyrgios later and that one is interesting as theres a bit of history between the two, isnt there . There is indeed. The history goes back to 2014 when nick pete rafa nadal in one of his most famous victories for recently, when rafa nadal beat nick earlier this year in acapulco, he said that the player lacked respect and the response was that natal was super salty. Worth pointing out they are level pegging at three all currently. It will be fascinating when they take to centre court. They are last up. It is a bumper day at wimbledon. We have Serena Williams and andy murray in action today, with both rafael nadal and Roger Federer in action as well. Thank you.

China is warning the uk not to interfere in its Domestic Affairs after the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, repeated his warning about serious consequences if freedoms in hong kong are watered down. Tensions between the uk and china have been rising since mr hunt backed demonstrators during large pro democracy protests in the territory. Beijings ambassador in london has accused the uk of having a colonial mindset. Our correspondent, ben ando, sent us the latest on the growing diplomatic row from the Chinese Embassy in london. The situation is very tense. At the moment there seems to be no sign of that tension decreasing. We are used to the chinese being very circumspect, very nuanced in their approach to diplomatic language. Here they are being very clear. Their message is simply that britain should butt out. As far as theyre concerned, hong kong is a domestic issue. That is not how it is seen in westminster in the foreign office. For more than 150 years, hong kong was a british colony. It was returned to chinese rule in 1997, with the caveat that the people they would continue to enjoy some of the freedoms and Civil Liberties that they had become used to. Now its changes being proposed by beijing, particularly around extradition, that is causing all the problems. People in hong kong are worried that political dissidents could be more easily extradited to Mainland China than they have been in the past. That is what has caused these quite violent demonstrations. At the moment in hong kong it seems things have calmed down a little bit. Here though, the rhetoric remains high. Foreign secretaryjeremy hunt is continuing to say the chinese should respect the Civil Liberties. And in turn, the chinese are saying that it is really none britains business. One in ten people admitted to hospital in the uk is dependent on alcohol according to a new study. Researchers at Kings College london are calling for universal screening for alcohol related problems and more trained staff to offer support. Last year, the nhs announced plans to put care teams into the hospitals with the highest alcohol related admissions. Black and asian victims of sex abuse are staying silent forfear of bringing shame on their families. The Muslim Womens network believes the problem is endemic among south asian communities. The nspcc says its a hidden problem and widely unreported. Sabbiyah pervez has been speaking to one asian woman from rotherham who was raped as a child by one of her relatives. I didnt know what was happening. I knew that whatever was happening was something that i had been told i had to keep a secret. Zlakha admed was just five years old when her relative, who is now dead, began sexually abusing her. He repeatedly raped her over several years and on one occasion her mum walked in. We lived in a corner shop and we were in the storeroom, and there were sacks of grain and rice. He basically dumped me in a sack of grain or whatever it was so my head and shoulders were showing, and he was doing his belt up. My mum walked in at that moment so it became obvious what was going on. Her abuser is now dead but it has taken her 40 years to speak out about her abuse. We as a family never talked about it because, if at the age of five, they then shared with the family or the community what happened, i would become stigmatised as a child. That would follow me all through my life. She is not alone when it comes to the reaction of her family and not reporting her abuse to the police. Research gathered by Community Organisations and academics suggest there are multiple reasons why victims from ethnic minority communities dont disclose their experiences. Sometimes if they do share it with a parent or other adults, they may be silenced into keeping quiet because of the dishonour and shame it may bring to the family or community. Zlakha now runs a charity to help victims of abuse. They have recently developed workshops looking at sexual abuse within the home. She hopes communities will start to recognise the issue so more victims have the confidence to come forward. Sabbiyah pervez, bbc news. Hes been described as the most important scientific thinker in the world, and his work has led to what we understand about Climate Change today. Now James Lovelock is about to celebrate his 100th birthday. Mishal husain went to meet him. James lovelock is about to celebrate his 100th birthday. He is one of the worlds most influential environmental thinkers. Time is getting shorter, and if we go doing silly things like global warming, it gets even shorter still. I think that scientists are a bit like artists. In the 1960s, he was an eco pioneer who invented supersensitive testing devices which detected atmospheric pollutants. Nasa used his equipment to test for life on mars. When you put forward your views about what the search for life might look like, how was it received . It was received very roughly. In fact, the biologists complained to the management in nasa, said, what are you doing upsetting all these biologists . Nasas employing them at great expense, and here are you telling them that what theyre doing is a lot of rubbish. And so what would you do instead . His revolutionary gaia theory argues that life does more than adapt to the earth. It changes the earth to its own purposes. Today, he calls himself an engineer first, and is very proud of his inventions. So what is this . Thats a palladium transmodulator. Is this what you came up with at very short notice. Yes. When nasa sort of set you a challenge . Thats my life. The electron capture detector. It worked like a dream. It could analyse incredibly small quantities of certain compounds. His new book, novacene, argues that we are entering a new age, where Artificial Intelligence systems take over. Artificial intelligence, i reckon, will be 10,000 times faster in thinking than we are. Its a new form of life that evolved. And a new form of life that you think will, in the fullness of time, be much more intelligent than we are, and supersede us . Yes. If supersede is the right word. We are all necessary. So does all of this fit into the theory that youre best known for, the gaia hypothesis, that the earth is a self regulating entity . Is this the next stage of that, if you like . Yes, the earth is in a really in a rather dodgy position, looked at astronomically. I think we should just stop burning fossil fuel. I think its a crazy, daft, very dangerous thing to do, but we continue to do it, because theres so much money invested in it. They could have use Nuclear Energy quite safely, without worrying the planet at all. James lovelock, happy 100th birthday. Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you. In a moment, well have all the Business News, but first the headlines on bbc news bookmakers william hill are to shutdown nearly a third of their betting shops in the uk, putting 4500 jobs at risk. The Company Blames the governments clamp down on fixed odds betting machines. Jeremy hunt and borisjohnson have been challenged to prioritise the crisis in social care if they become breds next prime minister. Patients lives have been put at risk because of delays in treatment for sepsis, according to research from bbc news. In the Business News as weve heard, william hill plans to close 700 betting shops across the uk. Thats almost a third of its shops. It puts more than 4,500 jobs at risk. The firm says its making less money from fixed odds betting terminals after the maximum stake was cut to £2. The ticket reseller viagogo has been accused of not doing enough to overhaul the way it presents information on its website. Britains competition watchdog says it is now moving forward with Legal Proceedings for contempt of court against the website. The firm of well known fund manager Neil Woodford is planning redundancies after investors pulled billions of pounds from his flagship fund. The cuts are expected to affect a small number of support staff, rather than staff managing investments. Woodford Investment Management employs around 45 people. Sales of low emission cars in the uk have fallen for the first time in more than two years a grave concern, according to the society of motor manufacturers. The decline comes as overall sales of new cars continued to fall, dropping 4. 9 in june from the year before. We are joined now by motoring journalist maria mccarthy. Whats the main reason behind the drop in sales of electric and hybrid cars . Electric cars are doing really well. They have increased in their sales, but the plug in hybrids, they have dropped dramatically. That is linked to the fact that the government grant that used to exist has been withdrawn. Also, the grant for electric cars has been cut as well. The society of motor manner factories and traders have been saying it is too soon to start withdrawing these grants, people still need incentives to help them move still need incentives to help them m ove over still need incentives to help them move over to alternatively fuelled vehicles. I thought that was going to come up, about the grant. The department for transport has said that the grant supported the purchases of 180,000 new cars, or than £700 million spent and the focus is now on the cleanest zero emission models. That is the government line. How important is it to beef up the infrastructure for example, charging points . That is an issue at the moment. 80 of all electric car charging is done at home. For those people who live in terraced houses or in flats, you do need charge points available. The ratio that you are meant to have is one charge point for every ten cars. We are some distance off that at the moment. In terms of publicly available charge points, one of the problems as you have lots of Different CompaniesOffering Services so people have to have different apps on their phone and it can get quite confusing. One thing that would help if you can still have the Different Companies but if you could just have the one portal to go through and it would make things a lot easier in terms of managing your electric car charging. The other problem is that they are not all the same, you have got different charging points and different charging points and different charging points and different charging adapter is that you need for the model. The other thing i wanted to ask about is this government target, there is a debate in parliament, about ending the sale of new petrol cars. Is that still within grasp . The transport minister said he would reassess it in 2025, but i think it needs to be assessed earlier than that. It is about when we reach a tipping point. Perhaps then sales would accelerate. One key factor is happening now, with electric vehicles coming onto the second hand market so people can buy them for less money. As that happens, people see theirfamilies less money. As that happens, people see their families and friends take them up. There is nothing quite like. The government can say all it likes and the media can do so as well, but there is nothing quite like seeing someone you know in real life owning an electric vehicle and making that work to make it feel like it can work for you. Thank you. A look at the other top business stories. Deloitte has been fined £4. 2 million by the accounting watchdog and severely reprimanded. This is over its audit of sercos geografix division. That was after the outsourcing firm overcharged the government for contracts to electronically tag criminals. Just yesterday, serco itself was fined almost £23 million by the Serious Fraud office for fraud and false accounting. Primarks sales were hit by unseasonable weather in may in other words, it was too cold and too wet. Thats according to its owner, associated british foods.

At the moment, 4 of its £1 billion stock market investment is in such firms. The trust is the biggest Conservation Charity in europe. It wants to invest in green start ups and shares that benefited nature and the environment. Thats all the Business News. A mans been killed in a volcanic eruption on the italian island of stromboli. He was out hiking and was hit by a falling stone. The eruption was unexpected and started fires on the small mediterranean island, just north of sicily. Rebecca hartmann reports. Ash and smoke rising in the air, just moments after the volcanic explosion on stromboli. The mushroom shaped cloud grew larger until it soon filled the sky above the small island. Witnesses say they heard a loud boom and saw streams of red, hot lava running towards the village of ginostra. One male hiker died after being hit by a falling stone, while others were injured. Many tourists threw themselves into the sea for safety. The volcano, nicknamed the lighthouse of the mediterranean, is one of the most active on the planet and has been under a regular state of eruption since 1932. But experts arent entirely sure what caused this explosion. Its probably to do with the accumulation of a large amount of gas, deep in the volcanic system, which is then released in one great big bubble and that rises up and pushes all of the magma out in one go. Rescue services say the eruption started fires on the western side of the island. Firefighters even sent a plane to drop water on the flames below. Just 500 people live on the island and it relies heavily on tourists, many of whom climb the 924 metre summit to peer into its crater something volcano enthusiasts are likely to keep doing despite the obvious dangers. Rebecca hartmann, bbc news. Cuba is feeling the economic effects of the Trump Administrations latest sanctions tourism especially. Since the announcement from washington that american cruise ships would once again be banned from visiting the island, noticeably fewer tourists are making the trip. From havana, will grant. It was a fitting metaphor. When the empress of the seas pulled out of havanas port last month, it marked the definitive end of the obama policy of engagement with cuba. Under the Trump Administration, it will be the last us ship to dock on the island for the foreseeable future. It is all in stark contrast to the jubilant scenes three years ago. In may 2016, i travelled amid the excitement and celebration on the edonia, the first cruise ship in 50 years to make the short trip across the straits. It is now estimated that hundreds of thousands of tickets to cuba will go unused, hitting the Tourism Industry hard, particularly tour guides and taxi drivers. Translation i think it is pretty unjust because honestly the problems the Us Government have with the government of cuba shouldnt mean that we have to suffer the consequences. Translation i am against this policy because people should be free to visit whatever country they like. Restaurant owners will be hurt too notjust by the cancellation of cruise ships but also tighter rules on us visitors in general. This restaurant once entertained president obama during happier times. Translation we are at about 2096 capacity at the moment. Just six tables were occupied yesterday and im one of the fortunate ons, people know us because we were visited by president obama during his visit. There are other restaurants that have not had a single visitor recently. There can be fewer better symbols than the changing policy than this. Days ago, there were us cruise ships in the port, now there is the russian navy. The Trump Administrations squeeze on cuba is intended to hurt it where it will feel it most, in its nascent Tourism Industry. The stated reason . To punish the island for its support for venezuela. Cubans had hoped the friendship under obama would last. Instead, the Trump Administration is determined to cut the island off any way it can, including by sea. Will grant, bbc news, havana. Now its time for a look at the weather. More blue sky and warm weather for much of england and wales. Outbreaks of rainfor much of england and wales. Outbreaks of rain for the highlands, up to 25 01 of rain for the highlands, up to 25 or 26 across some southern parts of england. Here tonight it stays lightly clear, somehow cloud drifting across, but not having an impact on the weather. A breeze blowing across scotland and Northern Ireland from the north west. That will ease off the rain for a time, then more coming in into tomorrow morning. Lots of sunshine overhead but with more high cloud in southern areas. The cloud sits in place for the northern half of the uk with more rain for the northern half of scotland. That breeze picks up even more. Camp just between 12 and 14 in the far north, up to 28 in the south east. Still pleasant enough in the sunshine, just one or two isolated showers for england and wales. Hello, youre watching afternoon live. Today at 2 william hill blames new restrictions on fixed odds betting for its plans to close hundreds of shops but critics say problem gambling had to be tackled. I think william hill should be apologising both to the staff brought in for this racket and to all the punters, many of whom have gambling debts, lost theirjobs, broke up their own families.
