First, rugby, and the British And Irish Lions are making final preparations before their opening test match against the all blacks this weekend. Tulsen tollett, bbc sport centre. Shaping up as a big game . The three tests, the first one getting underway this weekend in auckland, that is where we can go now, Sports Correspondent katie joining us, go through some information, katie, peter 0 mahony, of the munster men, Captaining The Lions, in favour of Sam Warburton, taking his place on the bench, should we be surprised at the time only should we be surprised that Peter Omahony is captaining the team . Welcome to auckland, top of the sky town, what a murky day, the lines will be very happy if the weather stays like this for the big test of course on saturday. Sky tower. In answer to your question about peter 0mahony, Sam Warburton has been struggling for fitness on this tour. He has come in great game against the maoris, in the backline, taking the armband, we expected him to be captain for this one but it caps of what has been a fantastic year for caps of what has been a fantastic yearfor him. He has caps of what has been a fantastic year for him. He has come from nowhere, and relics tory, he was not even starting. Warm up to Jamie Heaslip that saw him going into the team. Man of the match performance against england, that has been the platform up until now, and he finds herself Captaining The Lions on the first test. Owen farrell, eyestrain, touch and for this one. He is fit again and will start at number ten, he has not played much rugby in the past week or so, but he is the best in News Position in europe. Warren gatland has faith that he can deliver. We were expecting that the bulk of the team that faced the maoris would be in the starting 15 for this test, but Warren Gatland, sprung for this test, but Warren Gatland, sprung a for this test, but Warren Gatland, sprung a few surprises for us, mostly in the backline, Liam Williams coming in at full back in place of leigh halfpenny, who hit 20 points against the maoris. Elliot daly comes in on the wing. Warren gatland s true to his word when he said there were opportunities available for those that could take them. That is a pacey backline. A lot of pace, probably the most attacking line up that Warren Gatland has named on this tour so far. Talking to the former fly half, all blacks fly half, Andrew Merton is, he thinks this team has a bit of anx is, he thinks this team has a bit of an x factor about it. Kieran read returns after being out since april with a broken thumb. Andrew mehrtens. That is a boost, out since april with a broken thumb, coming backin april with a broken thumb, coming back in to captain a side that could really use his experience. Sonny Bill Williams in the midfield, playing at centre, but the standout selection, on the wing, mika you arnie, 20 years old, he comes in to start in favour of the prolific julian survey, that will frighten some of the lions fans, that they have so much strength in depth, that they can leave out somebody like julia surveyor, and bring in somebody for only their third cap. Julian savea. I was going to point out eden park but it is lost in the missed, they have not lost their since 1994, before he was even born, that is what the lions are up against. Huge challenge, but there isa against. Huge challenge, but there is a feeling that that first test, it is when perhaps the all blacks, even though they have that Storming Victory against samoa, 78 0, they may be vulnerable, they will be battle hardened, we will find out soon, so much excitement over this one in auckland. Would not be the first time that it has been Misty In Eden Park in auckland. Akira ioane. 1994, about the year that i was born, i like to think. Eden park. A Career Playing Sport is what many young people dream of, and as part of womens sport week we sent former england goalkeeper Rachel Brown Finnis to meet a 16 year old female footballer who hopes to earn a living from the game. But as rachels been finding out, although there are increasing opportunities for girls, there can be more challenges than for boys. Womens football in england has never had it so good, in a couple of yea rs never had it so good, in a couple of years since i have hung up my gloves, we have seen the Women Super League attract record crowd, and clu bs league attract record crowd, and clubs like Manchester City mix it with the best in the world. For the next generation of girls, professional football is now a very real possibility. Just like liverpool ladiess new signing, emily ramsey, 16. Since i was six, seven, eight years old, i wanted to play football. People would say they wa nted play football. People would say they wanted to be a doctor or a policeman, i said, footballer. Increase in pay, increase in awareness, sponsorship, stuff like that. People have the opportunity to play football without having to have that career. If you train full time, how can you fit it in . I have had some fantastic memories here in the stadium and hopefully now, emily is ata stadium and hopefully now, emily is at a club that is fully integrated with the mens side, playing with some of the best players in the world, hopefully she can make some of our own. She did not have that opportunity at her previous club. Emily used to play the Manchester United but they are the only Premier League side without 18 for girls over16 league side without 18 for girls over 16 and the girls setup is separate from the club itself. Having a partnership where some of your players are part of a Charitable Foundation and are associated with a club not part of a clu b associated with a club not part of a club keeps them at arms length, they are not fully integrated into the club, whereas they are at others. If i was club, whereas they are at others. If iwas ina club, whereas they are at others. If i was in a position at influence, at Manchester United, i would look to make all teams feel more included as pa rt of make all teams feel more included as part of the club, and have a very strong identity. Iwould be making it very clear that there are opportunities around having a level Playing Field for women, having a Progression Route for excellent players being developed and doing a good job. We approached Manchester United to ask why they dont have a womens team, in a statement they told us for emily and her career, the move from Manchester United to liverpool could be ideal. I was there for eight years, at united, played all the way through, there was nowhere to go, you can see the difference here, playing with people who are better and older than me, that is how i am going to learn. At Manchester United i had been never the longest time, i was the oldest, it was not pushing me on. Liverpool will make me better. A number of her new team mates are off to the netherlands for the euros next summer, when it comes round next time, she will be 20, the age i was when i went to my first tournament asa when i went to my first tournament as a liverpool player. Perhaps she will do the same. Studio good luck to emily. How is this for a record. The most base jumps to emily. How is this for a record. The most basejumps in 24 to emily. How is this for a record. The most base jumps in 24 hours to emily. How is this for a record. The most basejumps in 24 hours by basejump the most basejumps in 24 hours by base jump enthusiasts miles daisher. He broke the record byjumping off a bridge at Snake River Canyon in idaho. The bridge was roughly 150 metres high, with Daisher Landing on a target on the bank of the river. He then made the treacherous climb back up the canyon to do it all again. Amazingly he climbed more than 9000 vertical metres to break the record. In israel, its the national day to remember whats known as the yemenite children affair, in which its claimed a thousand or more babies, most originally from yemen, disappeared. Now, there are hopes free dna tests might finally help unravel the fates of some of the missing children. Although many parents were told their infants had died, there are long standing suspicions that some were actually kidnapped and given tojewish couples whod come from europe. Yolande knell reports. Voiceover a traditional song, passed from leo, born in yemen, to her daughter. She also shares a painful past with many yemenite israelis. She believes that 50 years ago her baby was kidnapped and may have been illegally adopted. Hospital officials showed her nobody grave and the facts in these documents do not add up. No body. I want to find out where my daughter went, to make her know that i did not abandon her, that i loved her. I was tricked. In the late 1940s, tens of thousands of june was tricked. In the late 1940s, tens of thousands ofjune is people left yemen, joining a massive airlift to new state of israel. In tough condition, many children died, but in some cases, babies were adopted by israelis originally from europe, without proper consent. Jewish. Activists say there was ethnic discrimination and count several thousand suspicious cases over decades. The Authorities Say the number is far lower. Now parliament is looking into disturbing evidence of medical research after official archives were open. I meet a man whose dna tests prove that he was gemini, but he was brought up by a european couple. Yemenite. Gemini, but he was brought up by a european couple. Yemenite. Im the only dark person here. A few months ago, he found out that his biological mother had died. He got to meet his half siblings. This is my life, i accept it as it is. Some people say, you are very fortunate, some people say, maybe you lost a loving family. But i am happy that the circle was completed. I know now, my origin. Today, leo is giving a dna sample to be checked against a new database, her greatest hope is to find a missing daughter, and to shine light on a difficult chapter in the history of israel and her family. Leah. Stay with us on outside source, still to come we will have a bbc exclusive interview with the new leader of hong kong, who says she will not be able to guarantee Freedom Of Speech in the territory. Doctors say three quarters of babies who are stillborn or suffered brain damage during birth, could have had a different outcome if theyd received better care. The uk has the second worst Infant Mortality Rate in western europe, the only country with a higher rate is malta. Our social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan reports. We are not comparing ella her to maddy, but we will always wonder, we never saw her with open eyes. Ella and alfie never met their older sibling. Katie went to hospital for a planned induction. When she got there, the labour ward was full, and she was put in a side room. They checked and said i was about two centimetres but they had to wait for a bed to become available, and no bed became available until we found out that madison passed away. Staff at the hospital would not break katies waters in the side room, saying there was a risk of infection. For three days, they promised to find her a bed but didnt. At one point, she was not monitored for 15 hours. By the time a midwife did check, madison was dead. She should now be four years old. She has got a niece about the same age as maddie as well. It is tough for her seeing little mia going to school, her school uniform. We can see madison doing the same thing. The trust has apologised and said practices have changed, but madisonjackson is one of nine avoidable baby deaths at the trust over the period. The Health Secretary has ordered a review of here, but other hospitals are providing poor care. Hundreds of babies could be protected from harm, says the report, if services are improved. It is not a single factor that is going to cause a poor outcome, it is an accumulation of factors, and we have to look at the whole picture, you know, in a holistic way, in order to improve care, and that is what we are determined to do. A babys death leaves an indelible mark. Until the nhs fundamentally improves, too many families will experience that burning sense of injustice. Michael buchanan, bbc news, powys. Hello, im karin giannone, this is outside source. The Iraqi Military says so called Islamic State militants have blown up the grand Al Nuri Mosque in mosul. Its the historic landmark was where is leader Abubakr Al Baghdadi proclaimed a caliphate in 2014. In the next few hours, donald trump is going to hold a Campaign Style rally in cedar rapids, iowa. Some people may be wondering why he is doing this when he only won the election if you months ago, is this his comfort zone . It is, it is something he said after winning the election, that he would go back and visit people in some of those key swing states where he won. I went to a rally a few weeks after he won the election in ohio, he has also had a similar make America Great again rally in the State Of Pennsylvania and florida. This is the state where it all began, this is where they have the caucuses where people can first vote, the president did not win the iowa caucus, but he did win the state in the election in november. Looking at the headlines, the Approval Rating for the president are not great but when you speak with the crowds, and there is a queue of people snaking around the large convention building, you really see the passion that the president still has, in many of the swing states in which he won. I have met people who have come from states as far away as new york, several states away, on the east coast. I have met people who have come from chicago, one woman slept on the sidewalk here last night, got here at 6pm. This is how committed people are. Feels like we are back in campaign territory, reminding me of the rallies where you felt enthusiasm and passion for president trump. How much of a boost as what happened in georgia overnight, with the republican win in that Congressional Election despite the democrats throwing everything at it, how much of a boost has that been for donald trump . Huge boost for him, it was a very close victory, given that in the Congressional Election in november, tom price, who had to vacate the seat in georgia because he was given a post in the trump cabinet, won by 23 points. Nonetheless, till a victory despite it being the most expensive house race in us history. That is something we can expect resident trump to be talking about tonight, sending a view tweets about it, congratulations to the new representative down in georgia. When i have been talking to people in georgia, that has not been much of a focus. People here have been talking about how passionate they are for the president , the conversation around russia and Russian Investigation seems to have dominated things and clouded the achievements of president trump. Thank you very much forjoining us. Hong kong is about to get a new leader, 20 years after the British Colony was handed back to china. The Chief Executive leg, next week will be sworn into office by the chinese president. Her predecessors have been accused of being beijing puppets. Carrie lam has been speaking with our china editor. This was intended as a year of democratic election, that has not happened. 7 Million People in hong kong, 1200 only get the opportunity to vote, and you won the votes of 777. Only get the opportunity to vote, and you won the votes of 777m only get the opportunity to vote, and you won the votes of 777. It is not a question of a number, the question is about legitimacy. Perception is important. But to say that i am just a puppet, i won this election because of probe ageing forces, that is sort of a failure to acknowledge what i have done in hong kong over the last 36 years. We are a varied through free society and we respect people expressing their views freely and orderly. We are a very free society. This call for independence, for self determination, if the Chinese Parliament were to say that freedom of expression in hong kong did not cover calls for independence, what would be your position on that . think hong kong is an inseparable pa rt of think hong kong is an inseparable part of the peoples republic of china. What have other hong kong citizens. If they disagree, what if they wanted to call for independence . It is in its pression of personal opinion, everyone could have a view, but whether that expressing a view constitutes an offence. . Expressing a view constitutes an offence. . Then we expressing a view constitutes an offence. . Then we have to look at what the law says. We have to get what the law says. We have to get what the law says. Can you promised the people of hong kong that never in your Tenure Will Somebody go to jailfor in your Tenure Will Somebody go to jail for calling in your Tenure Will Somebody go to jailfor calling for in your Tenure Will Somebody go to jail for calling for autonomy, self determination, or independence . What i can promise the people of hong kong is that we will abide by the rule of law. Said that is a no, you cannot make the promise. How can you cannot make the promise. How can you promised when you do not know the situation. You do not know the legislation in hong kong, and to give a sort of perpetual situation answer. Give a sort of perpetual situation answer. That is not a very fair question to ask. What it comes down to, at the end of the day, the relationship between hong kong and the mainland. Here is one thing that seems to have concerned many people in hong kong, the disappearance of hong kong publishers at the end of 2015, to appear in prison cells inside mainland china. The disappearance earlier this year of a chinese businessman who has com pletely chinese businessman who has completely vanished, disappeared from the streets of hong kong. If that kind of thing ok . From the streets of hong kong. If that kind of thing 0k . The Hong Kong Police force has been working on the case and trying to collect evidence, unfortunately, without the cooperation of the people involved. It is not possible. Do you think it is possible that those hong kong citizens are afraid to speak up about what happened to them, is that about what happened to them, is that a possibility . I dont know, i dont know but of course i always have this to say to people who have fears and worries, they have to trust the rule of law. How many hong kong citizens need to disappear before we draw conclusions about what might be happening to them . draw conclusions about what might be happening to them . I think that is not a happening to them . I think that is nota fair happening to them . I think that is not a fair question, if there are worries, of interference into hong kong affairs, which comes under a high degree of autonomy, then the Chief Executive has to reflect those sentiments and speak up on the half of the people. Would it be fair to imagine you might have a conversation with the president which goes, these make sure no Security Services from the Mainland Operate Undercover On Hong Kong soil, would you be having that conversation . I would be honoured to have a conversation with the president , on occasions, hopefully on the 1st ofjuly. Thank you very much forjoining us.

That was done at the expense of some fundamental ways of running a business. He has been forced out after several investors pressured him saying he had to do this for the good of the company. He has finally taken that step. People have been remarking that this possibly reflects a wider culture in Silicon Valley of things not going quite right .
