:00:13. > :00:15.Top of the agenda is the rights post-Brexit of EU citizens here,

:00:16. > :00:22.The talks come as Downing St said ministers will be warned to keep

:01:31. > :01:32.Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:33. > :01:34.The second round of formal talks on Britain's departure

:01:35. > :01:37.from the EU got under way this morning in Brussels.

:01:38. > :01:40.The Brexit Secretary David Davis said it was "time to get down

:01:41. > :01:44.to business", and that the priority was to decide the rights

:01:45. > :01:47.of British and EU citizens in each others countries.

:01:48. > :01:51.The EU says there has to be substantial progress on this

:01:52. > :01:54.and on a financial settlement and the issue of the Irish

:01:55. > :01:58.border before talks on trade can start.

:01:59. > :02:00.Meanwhile, Downing St has said the Prime Minister will remind

:02:01. > :02:02.colleagues of the need to keep Cabinet discussions

:02:03. > :02:04.private, after a series of leaks over the weekend.

:02:05. > :02:15.They have been getting into position for weeks. Even months. Finally, it

:02:16. > :02:22.is time to talk detail. And for now, they seem to be

:02:23. > :02:30.speaking each other's language. We will now delve into the... We need

:02:31. > :02:35.to examine and compare our respective positions, in order to

:02:36. > :02:40.make good progress. For us it is pont we make good progress, there

:02:41. > :02:44.there will be negotiations and identify the differences so that we

:02:45. > :02:47.can deal with them and identify the similarities so we can reinforce

:02:48. > :02:54.them, and now, it is time to get down to work, and make that

:02:55. > :02:56.successful negotiation. Mr Davis left soon afterwards,

:02:57. > :03:01.leaving much of that work to officials.

:03:02. > :03:04.This week, they will discuss the Northern Irish border which will

:03:05. > :03:09.become an external frontier of the European Union. Then there is the

:03:10. > :03:12.so-called Brexit bill. How to calculate what the UK owes for

:03:13. > :03:17.financial commitments made as a member. And citizens right, what

:03:18. > :03:21.will happen to EU nationals living in the UK and Brits abroad? That is

:03:22. > :03:27.what the Foreign Secretary emphasised at a meeting just round

:03:28. > :03:32.the corner. I am very pleased that negotiations are beginning and as

:03:33. > :03:38.you know, are very fair serious our has been put on the table by the UK

:03:39. > :03:44.Government about citizenship, the value we place on the 3.2 million EU

:03:45. > :03:47.citizens in our country, the very good offer I think we are making to

:03:48. > :03:51.them and the security they can have about their future and I hope very

:03:52. > :03:57.much that people will look at that offer in the spirit it deserves. It

:03:58. > :04:01.is a great offer. Questions about cabinet splits at

:04:02. > :04:04.home, they went unanswered. Union Jack has been taken down

:04:05. > :04:10.already, David Davis is heading home. The really hard work is taking

:04:11. > :04:15.place behind closed door, privately EU officials think the UK is moving

:04:16. > :04:20.closer to their position when it comes to money. There is still the

:04:21. > :04:24.big issue of whether the European Court of jous tips has a say over

:04:25. > :04:28.the lives of EU citizens living in the UK after Brexit. The European

:04:29. > :04:33.Commission tweeted this picture, not so subtle message, we have done our

:04:34. > :04:33.homework, what are you bringing to the table?

:04:34. > :04:39.And Adam Fleming is in Brussels for us now.

:04:40. > :04:44.Do we expect any great leaps forward? I have been cautioned not

:04:45. > :04:49.to, because the words that diplomats have been using with me over the

:04:50. > :04:53.last few days is clarification. Both sides, the EU and the Brits have

:04:54. > :04:57.swapped loads of position papers on a range of issues and this week an

:04:58. > :05:00.Barnesly is going to be about sitting down and asking questions

:05:01. > :05:06.about what did you mean when you wrote that? What do you expect on

:05:07. > :05:10.this clause or that bullet point, so no great leaps forward. We think.

:05:11. > :05:14.Although if there is any progress to be made, we will find out about it

:05:15. > :05:19.on Thursday, because David Davis, the Brexit secretary will be back

:05:20. > :05:23.here for a wrap up meeting with his opposite number Michel Barnier, and

:05:24. > :05:25.we expect, hoping that both men will do a press conference round

:05:26. > :05:28.lunchtime on Thursday, remember, this is just the start of the

:05:29. > :05:33.process. There is going to be further round of talks here in this

:05:34. > :05:37.building, in August, in September, and in October. And October is

:05:38. > :05:42.crunch time. Because it is at that point that Michel Barnier, the EU

:05:43. > :05:46.chief negotiator will decide whether sufficient progress has been made on

:05:47. > :05:51.the issues of citizens' rights and the Brexit bill, for him to

:05:52. > :05:54.recommend to other EU leaders that they open talks about the future

:05:55. > :05:58.relationship, hand is the really juicy stuff the British Government

:05:59. > :06:04.want to start talking about, because that is trade and cooperation in the

:06:05. > :06:08.future. In terms of the political shenanigans back home, the official,

:06:09. > :06:11.the politicians here are lapping it up, but remember, Michel Barnier is

:06:12. > :06:15.working to guidelines that were written for him by national leaders

:06:16. > :06:17.months and months ago, not over the weekend.

:06:18. > :06:24.Our assistant political editor Norman Smith is in Westminster.

:06:25. > :06:30.Norman, the political she Mangans, a series of leaks over the weekend and

:06:31. > :06:37.Downing Street is now going to call for the Cabinet colleagues to stop

:06:38. > :06:42.leaking. They are, but I suspect the prospect of that being heeded is

:06:43. > :06:46.small. This has become so personal, the briefing against the Chancellor

:06:47. > :06:49.directed at damaging him personally u so there is needle and edge in

:06:50. > :06:54.this, added to which the division over Brexit which are fuelling the

:06:55. > :06:58.leaks and the briefing war, are so profound. Bluntly, those round the

:06:59. > :07:04.Chancellor fearful that we are in no shape to leave the EU in 20 months

:07:05. > :07:08.type. Business in particular needs a breathing space to adapt, a

:07:09. > :07:12.transitional period of two years, maybe more than that. The

:07:13. > :07:18.Brexiteers, however, view that as a ruse, to try and delay Brexit, who

:07:19. > :07:25.know, indefinitely to say we are not ready, we need a bit more time.

:07:26. > :07:29.Time. And the other reason her plea for is not to succeed is she did it

:07:30. > :07:32.a few months ago when she said she would demand the mobile phone

:07:33. > :07:38.records of senior civil servants and ministers, she would want to see

:07:39. > :07:44.their e-mail record, and that had no impact and that is when she was at

:07:45. > :07:49.the prime of her power, so how much impact will this latest call have,

:07:50. > :07:54.given she is a diminished figure, so my sense is the leak, they will keep

:07:55. > :07:56.a springing from the Cabinet. Thank you.

:07:57. > :07:59.The Government has announced the first major contracts

:08:00. > :08:02.for the High Speed two rail line between London and Birmingham.

:08:03. > :08:04.Three British firms are among the companies chosen to build

:08:05. > :08:06.tunnels, bridges and embankments - at a cost of ?6.6 billion.

:08:07. > :08:09.The final route of the line north of Birmingham will

:08:10. > :08:10.be announced later, after years of disagreement,

:08:11. > :08:13.but the first trains aren't expected to run until 2026,

:08:14. > :08:29.HS2. Critics say it be the most expensive railway on the plea net.

:08:30. > :08:32.The Government says it is essential for the future of the UK's transport

:08:33. > :08:35.system and the economies of the Midlands and the north. Contracts

:08:36. > :08:40.have been awarded for the first phase of the project, between London

:08:41. > :08:44.and Birmingham. Those first contracts are worth more

:08:45. > :08:48.than ?6 billion. That, says the Government, will bring in 16,000

:08:49. > :08:53.jobs, but already six years in the planning the first trains won't be

:08:54. > :08:59.operational until 2026, by which time 300,000 passengers will be

:09:00. > :09:04.riding on the new network each day. Overcrowding and overcapacity on the

:09:05. > :09:08.existing network is why it backers say HS2 is essential. No

:09:09. > :09:11.contradiction says the Government it is spending billion on

:09:12. > :09:18.infrastructure at a time when public sector pay is still capped at 1%.

:09:19. > :09:22.We have a situation today, where the railways round cities are congested.

:09:23. > :09:26.Where there is not enough space for the freight service, if we are going

:09:27. > :09:30.to have the capacity we need for future we will have to get the

:09:31. > :09:32.express trains off those line, create more space in London,

:09:33. > :09:37.Birmingham, Manchester and more space to get freight off the roads

:09:38. > :09:40.and on to rail. Large swathes of woodland, farmland and some villages

:09:41. > :09:46.will have to make way for the new line. More controversially still

:09:47. > :09:49.expert says the Department for Transport has grossly underestimated

:09:50. > :09:53.the price. Some suggestions the first phase to Birmingham alone

:09:54. > :09:59.could double in cost from 23 billion, to almost ?48 billion.

:10:00. > :10:03.The cost is based on international best standards, and those standards

:10:04. > :10:07.do not apply to the problems we have in the UK, where we are building on

:10:08. > :10:13.a small congested island, full of property owning people in a

:10:14. > :10:16.democracy, and the costs of land take and come penisation is

:10:17. > :10:21.considerable. At such a price others say HS2 will

:10:22. > :10:27.be nothing more than a vanity project and there are better ways of

:10:28. > :10:31.spending public Monday. Lots of much smaller enterprise, they are not as

:10:32. > :10:34.grand, they don't grab the headline, they don't leave a legacy for the

:10:35. > :10:39.politicians who design them but there are all sorts of typically

:10:40. > :10:43.road projects that one much more valuable possible fob economy and

:10:44. > :10:48.that a colossal multi-billion pound new train line, which won't be fully

:10:49. > :10:52.operation alfor-15 years. This project has been mired in delayed

:10:53. > :10:57.and complications but later today the final routes of the northern

:10:58. > :11:00.branches to Manchester and Leeds are due to be announced including what

:11:01. > :11:01.could be a controversial path round Sheffield. Manufacture

:11:02. > :11:05.A man who's terminally ill is challenging the Government

:11:06. > :11:07.to try to overturn the ban on assisted dying.

:11:08. > :11:09.Noel Conway has motor neurone disease, and wants to be able

:11:10. > :11:12.to choose when and where he dies, without putting those who might help

:11:13. > :11:16.The law currently makes it illegal to help someone to die.

:11:17. > :11:19.Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh is at the Royal Courts

:11:20. > :11:34.Well, Noel Conway was too weak to come to court this morning buzz his

:11:35. > :11:38.lawyers say he is hoping to give evidence via videolink on Wednesday.

:11:39. > :11:44.At the heart of this case, whether or not the current law breaches his

:11:45. > :11:49.human rights, by preventing him from dying with dignity. Noel Conway

:11:50. > :11:57.increasingly relies on a ventilator to help his Bree. His chest muscles

:11:58. > :12:02.are gradually getting weaker. Once, fit and active motor neurone disease

:12:03. > :12:07.has rob him of the ability to walk, as the condition progresses his

:12:08. > :12:16.fears becoming entombed in his body. I will be quadriplegic. In fact I

:12:17. > :12:19.could be virtually cat tonic. I will be in conceivably a locked in

:12:20. > :12:24.syndrome. That, to me, would be a living hell.

:12:25. > :12:33.That prospect is just not one I can accept. This is an issue which

:12:34. > :12:38.polarised opinion, there were demonstrators representing both

:12:39. > :12:41.sides of the argument outside court. Inside, Mr Conway's legal team said

:12:42. > :12:46.the question of what is a dignified death was a matter for the

:12:47. > :12:50.individual, not the state. Under the Suicide Act, any doctor

:12:51. > :12:57.who helps Mr Conway to die would face up to 14 years in prison. The

:12:58. > :13:01.last major challenge to the law involved Tony Nicklinson who, unlike

:13:02. > :13:07.Mr Conway has not been diagnosed as terminally ill. Since then, MPs

:13:08. > :13:12.overwhelmingly rejected proposals to allow assisted dying. Supporters of

:13:13. > :13:17.the current law say it protects the weak and vulnerable. Parliament have

:13:18. > :13:20.rejected the change to the law on ten occasion on ground of public

:13:21. > :13:26.safety and the evidence from other jurisdictions shows that any change

:13:27. > :13:30.in the law to allow assisted suicide is unnecessary, and also dangerous,

:13:31. > :13:35.because it is uncontrollable. But Mr Conway says the law is

:13:36. > :13:41.broken. And condemns him to unimaginable suffering.

:13:42. > :13:45.This case is going to go on all week and we are likely to get a judgment

:13:46. > :13:50.not until October, and then on such a key issue, this may well go all

:13:51. > :13:56.the way to the Supreme Court. Thank you.

:13:57. > :13:58.An American neurologist who's offered to carry out a new therapy

:13:59. > :14:00.on the terminally ill baby, Charlie Gard, has met

:14:01. > :14:04.He is also expected to examine Charlie over the next

:14:05. > :14:06.two days and to meet other medical specialists.

:14:07. > :14:08.Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital believe

:14:09. > :14:10.the treatment won't work, and that Charlie's life support

:14:11. > :14:23.For the parents of baby Charlie Gard, a great deal is riding on the

:14:24. > :14:28.visit of this man. Dr Michio Hirano. A lauded neurologist from the US. He

:14:29. > :14:31.has offered to carry out experimental treatment which he says

:14:32. > :14:35.could improve Charlie's life chances. Much of Charlie Gard's

:14:36. > :14:41.short life has been spent in intensive care. He has a rare

:14:42. > :14:44.genetic condition, and experts say he should be allowed to die in

:14:45. > :14:49.dignity. But after a lengthy legal battle,

:14:50. > :14:54.Charlie's parents hope that decision can thousand be reversed. Dr Michio

:14:55. > :14:58.Hirano and another physician arrived this morning and were met by the

:14:59. > :15:00.medical director, they have been given an honorary contract which

:15:01. > :15:05.gives them full status to examine Charlie Gard. They will also have

:15:06. > :15:08.access to his medical records, and all of the hospitals clinical

:15:09. > :15:13.facilities. So the key thing that the doctors will be looking for

:15:14. > :15:17.today is to ensure that they have absorbed all of the information from

:15:18. > :15:24.the historical notes round this patient, but also, carried out a

:15:25. > :15:27.physical examination themselves to find the signs of his neurology and

:15:28. > :15:30.understand exactly his status at the current time.

:15:31. > :15:32.Dr National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children --

:15:33. > :15:35.National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children -- Michio

:15:36. > :15:38.Hirano's assessment is to be completed in two day, the findings

:15:39. > :15:40.will be passed to the judge who will decide whether there is hope for

:15:41. > :15:52.Charlie yet. In the past few minutes, Stephen

:15:53. > :15:59.Hough has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for the manslaughter and

:16:00. > :16:04.rate of a 15-year-old girl in 1976. Her body was found by three children

:16:05. > :16:08.playing hide and Seek. Matthew Richards is at court. This is an

:16:09. > :16:14.attack that happened more than 40 years ago. What was said in court?

:16:15. > :16:18.The judge acknowledged this was a very unusual case. Stephen Hough was

:16:19. > :16:23.convicted last week of the red and manslaughter of Janet have as well

:16:24. > :16:29.as a serious assault against. Today he was sentenced to 12 years in

:16:30. > :16:34.prison. Back in 1976, Janet, was 15 years old. She disappeared in

:16:35. > :16:39.January after going to be Leisure Centre. She died after a brutal

:16:40. > :16:43.sexual assault. Although he was questioned at the time, it was

:16:44. > :16:46.another teenager, Noel Jones, who was jailed for manslaughter. He

:16:47. > :16:50.always protested his innocence. Questions are being asked about how

:16:51. > :16:53.he came to be the centre of police investigations. Stephen Hough may

:16:54. > :17:00.have thought he got away with his crime. But he gave a DNA sample to

:17:01. > :17:06.police in 2017. That was traced to samples taken from Janet's body. He

:17:07. > :17:11.was taken to trial. Janet Commons's family were in court to hear the

:17:12. > :17:13.sentencing. They have lost none of the pain they

:17:14. > :17:15.feel. Matthew, thank you. A second round of talks in Brussels

:17:16. > :17:22.on the UK's departure from the EU - the Brexit Secretary says it's time

:17:23. > :17:26.to get down to business. And still to come, could

:17:27. > :17:29.the wild cat be back? After more than a thousand years

:17:30. > :17:32.of extinction in the UK, a campaign to see the return

:17:33. > :17:37.of the lynx. Coming up in sport, England

:17:38. > :17:39.goalkeeper Joe Hart is set to have a medical at West Ham today,

:17:40. > :17:43.ahead of his season-long loan One of President Trump's key

:17:44. > :17:58.election pledges last year, was a promise to send millions

:17:59. > :18:02.of illegal immigrants The BBC's Panorama programme has

:18:03. > :18:05.been investigating how the President has been putting his controversial

:18:06. > :18:07.deportation plans into action. Hilary Anderson has been

:18:08. > :18:10.to California to meet families who've been split by immigration

:18:11. > :18:14.arrests, and to talk to the children of detained parents left

:18:15. > :18:20.to fend for themselves. One morning in May,

:18:21. > :18:24.when they were getting ready for school in their home

:18:25. > :18:26.in San Diego, California, border patrol officers came

:18:27. > :18:31.and arrested both of their parents. They just came up to my mum

:18:32. > :18:34.and told her she was arrested Their parents, Rosenda

:18:35. > :18:42.and Francisco Duarte Snr, have been living in America

:18:43. > :18:46.illegally the 21 years. Border patrol initially

:18:47. > :18:50.suspected them of involvement in international human trafficking,

:18:51. > :18:54.but later dropped the accusation. The Duarte parents run

:18:55. > :18:58.a small ice cream business The first night alone,

:18:59. > :19:02.the children all moved their beds Francisco, the older brother, now

:19:03. > :19:09.does his best to run the household. The border guards knew

:19:10. > :19:12.they were leaving a teenager They just asked me,

:19:13. > :19:15.are you Francisco? They said, OK, you can

:19:16. > :19:21.take care of them. So they just left you here

:19:22. > :19:24.with all the family? President Trump came to office

:19:25. > :19:28.on a promise to prioritise TRUMP: We have some bad hombres here

:19:29. > :19:38.and we are going to get them out. In his first 100 days,

:19:39. > :19:41.41,000 illegals or suspected Most were criminals,

:19:42. > :19:47.but there was a massive spike in people like the Duartes

:19:48. > :19:49.being arrested, non-criminals President Trump's supporters

:19:50. > :19:54.say the administration Nobody wants families split

:19:55. > :20:01.and the way to ensure that, if you are a family,

:20:02. > :20:04.is to not come to this Sometimes the sins of the father

:20:05. > :20:09.are visited upon the sons, and that's unfortunate,

:20:10. > :20:11.but the Government didn't The Duartes went to see their

:20:12. > :20:18.parents in the immigrant detention Their mother has since been released

:20:19. > :20:23.on bail, but both parents still face possible deportation,

:21:05. > :21:12.the pleasure of a Wimbledon final will be replaced by flying

:21:13. > :21:17.the flag in Poland. It's a visit that's already

:23:03. > :23:05.at Wimbledon for He beat Croatia's Marin

:23:06. > :23:10.Cilic in straight sets. It's Federer's 19th Grand Slam title

:23:11. > :23:13.- and his second since returning from a six-month break earlier this

:23:14. > :23:15.year, following a knee injury. He's been speaking to our sports

:23:16. > :23:31.correspondent, Joe Wilson. He describes this Wimbledon title as

:23:32. > :23:36.beyond his wildest dreams. Monday morning, fresh as a daisy,

:23:37. > :23:40.interviews to do. The Roger Federer, the champion's routine is serenely

:23:41. > :23:44.familiar. Sunday night he did the champions dinner. He looked like

:23:45. > :23:49.James Bond. Nobody does it better. Well, no man at Wimbledon. This was

:23:50. > :23:54.the eighth time. And what he achieved this year was to overtake

:23:55. > :23:59.the seven men's titles of Pete Sampras, a player who inspired him.

:24:00. > :24:03.That makes it personal. He will always be my hero, not because I

:24:04. > :24:09.have surpassed him at Wimbledon. That doesn't change anything for me.

:24:10. > :24:14.Pete still is my guide. After our match in 2001, I wanted to surpass

:24:15. > :24:19.him. I never thought it would be possible in my wildest dreams. If

:24:20. > :24:27.the fans were happy for me again yesterday, it was another incredible

:24:28. > :24:32.day. It is the fortnight went on in Britain, we get to feel close to

:24:33. > :24:34.Federer. Yes, he is just a tennis player, but sometimes sports

:24:35. > :24:40.stretches the perception of what is humanly possible. At 35, Roger

:24:41. > :24:43.Federer is only interested in winning the big matches these days.

:24:44. > :24:49.His greatest triumph is the ability to manage his body. So what does the

:24:50. > :24:54.target now? There is a temptation to throw himself back into the schedule

:24:55. > :24:58.of chasing tournaments around the world, to be ranked world number one

:24:59. > :25:05.again. But is that significant? Even Federer doesn't insure. May be

:25:06. > :25:09.become world number one at least one more time in my career, or a goal to

:25:10. > :25:17.finish the year as world number one. For me, it makes no difference being

:25:18. > :25:20.number one for a week or year end. I have to have a bit of a meeting and

:25:21. > :25:24.discussion with my team about that in the coming week. As four more

:25:25. > :25:31.grand slam titles, Federer says there are no goals. What the

:25:32. > :25:32.appreciated at the weekend was an hour out of the public eye with his

:25:33. > :25:34.family. Joe Wilson, BBC News. England's cricketers face an uphill

:25:35. > :25:37.struggle on day four of the second test against South Africa

:25:38. > :25:39.at Trent Bridge. Set a target of 474 to win,

:25:40. > :25:46.they lost early wickets. At lunch there were 79-4. Here is

:25:47. > :26:00.Patrick Geary. Test cricket is the waiting game.

:26:01. > :26:03.England's task was to stay out there, hang around. Keaton Jennings

:26:04. > :26:08.managed less than ten minutes. Two long days lay ahead. South Africa

:26:09. > :26:12.were so far in front that wickets took on more value than once. So

:26:13. > :26:16.when the umpire gave Barry -- Gary Ballance not out, they gambled with

:26:17. > :26:22.their last review. Check the technology. Everything on red. Lbw,

:26:23. > :26:26.ride. The situation calls for a strange skill in sport, the ability

:26:27. > :26:31.to do nothing. Alastair Cook is an expert. He is a throwback to a more

:26:32. > :26:39.patient age. He holds on until he knows it is safe, then scores. He

:26:40. > :26:43.makes it seem far easier than it is. After all, look what happened to his

:26:44. > :26:48.successor, Joe Root, officially the second best test batsman in the

:26:49. > :26:53.world. Three down, more than 400 behind, but Cook kept going. While

:26:54. > :26:58.he was out there, that was still half full. A couple of minutes

:26:59. > :27:04.before lunch, and fate intervened. England cracked. They must have

:27:05. > :27:10.coped without the great survivor. Few other Englishmen have showed

:27:11. > :27:13.they can handle the weight. Patrick Geary, BBC News. Oscar-winning actor

:27:14. > :27:17.Martin Landau has died at the age of 89. He first found fame in the

:27:18. > :27:22.Alfred Hitchcock film North by Northwest. He featured in a number

:27:23. > :27:27.of big-screen blockbusters during his 60s and the TV series, Mission

:27:30. > :27:31.It's more than a thousand years since the lynx

:27:32. > :27:34.became extinct in the UK, but campaigners hope a decision

:27:35. > :27:39.An application being considered by Natural England could see

:27:40. > :27:40.the wild cats released into Kielder Forest

:27:41. > :27:46.But the return of a major predator is worrying farmers.

:27:47. > :27:59.Last lynx in Britain was killed for its first 1300 years ago. The

:28:00. > :28:06.application going into Natural England today would see them return.

:28:07. > :28:10.Between six and ten released in Kielder Forest in Northumberland.

:28:11. > :28:13.This is a huge conservation milestone. The first licence ever

:28:14. > :28:23.submitted to release lynx on a trial basis to the UK. That is actually

:28:24. > :28:28.how big is real life lynx is. Paul O'Donohoe you from the lynx trust

:28:29. > :28:30.has been doing a consultation, talking, listening, explaining.

:28:31. > :28:36.These children have some big questions. Are lynx dangerous to

:28:37. > :28:42.people? They live all over the world. A healthy wild lynx has

:28:43. > :28:46.never, ever, ever attacked a human anywhere in the world. They may not

:28:47. > :28:56.hurt people, but lynx our expert hunters. Their main prey? Dear. Dear

:28:57. > :29:04.Andre Gray 's -- overgrazed. There's very little around. Not many places

:29:05. > :29:10.for small mammals and birds. Lynx are needed to balance the ecosystem.

:29:11. > :29:15.Not according to sheep farmers, who say that deer are not a problem and

:29:16. > :29:20.lynx would be a threat. Think it is an absolutely stupid idea. For a

:29:21. > :29:25.predator that has not been in this country for a thousand years, to be

:29:26. > :29:33.released where it is going to cause damage to viable business. As far as

:29:34. > :29:39.I am concerned, the lynx will go for the easy target, which will be sheep

:29:40. > :29:45.and lamb. Opinion here is divided. In the local pub, Mike Brown is

:29:46. > :29:49.thinking about his business. One estimate says the lynx could bring

:29:50. > :29:54.in ?30 million a year in extra tourism. It is the most rural

:29:55. > :29:58.village in England, so we need as many tourists as we can get. We rely

:29:59. > :30:05.on tourist trade. That is 99% of the trade we take. We'll Kielder Forest

:30:06. > :30:09.become the land of the lynx? The decision is now in the hands of

:30:10. > :30:13.Natural England. If they say yes, experts predict they could -- there

:30:14. > :30:19.could eventually be as many as 400 lynx in forest across the UK. Graham

:30:20. > :30:25.Satchell, BBC News, Kielder Forest. Now the weather.

:30:26. > :30:29.We have got some very warm weather, if not hot weather, to come for the

:30:30. > :30:35.of this week. Temperatures surging into the high 20s, if not the low

:30:36. > :30:38.30s. We'll see some thunderstorms breaking out Tuesday night,

:30:39. > :30:43.Wednesday. Things will get cooler and fresher towards the end of the

:30:44. > :30:50.week. It is a glorious day today. Plenty of sunshine. Peter Pan has

:30:51. > :30:54.been out. He was in the Gower. Clear skies for the most part. I'd heard

:30:55. > :30:58.making the sunshine hazy. Some of that is affecting southern part of

:30:59. > :31:01.England. Across the north-west, we have got a weather front bringing

:31:02. > :31:08.cloudy skies into Scotland. Underneath that cloud, skies look

:31:09. > :31:12.rather like this. A few passing showers. That is the exception. The

:31:13. > :31:15.cloud will continue to break-up across the Western Isles and the

:31:16. > :31:24.Highlands of Scotland. Maybe Orkney as well. Most of us will end the day

:31:25. > :31:28.sunny. Temperature wise, 28 degrees in the sunshine. 82 Fahrenheit the

:31:29. > :31:33.warmest spot around the Greater London area. Overnight tonight we

:31:34. > :31:37.keep those clear skies. For the most part, temperatures will fall away.

:31:38. > :31:44.Not too uncomfortable a night. However, in southern England and

:31:45. > :31:48.southern Wales, temperatures 17 to 18 degrees, perhaps too warm for a

:31:49. > :31:51.good night's sleep. On Tuesday, an area of high pressure will move its

:31:52. > :31:56.position. That will change the winds little bit. Cooler winds affecting

:31:57. > :32:01.north-east England, eastern Scotland. Temperatures are few

:32:02. > :32:07.degrees lower. Warm air in western Scotland. Highs of 25 degrees in

:32:08. > :32:11.Glasgow. Temperatures peaking in the upper 20s in the warmer spots. As we

:32:12. > :32:13.had through the evening time and overnight, thunderstorms will start

:32:14. > :32:18.to work away across the English Channel. Some of those purposefully

:32:19. > :32:22.Channel Islands before working into southern England, Wales, driving

:32:23. > :32:27.north into East Anglia. The amount of rain we see will vary a lot from

:32:28. > :32:32.these storms from place to place. The storms will move north. There

:32:33. > :32:36.could be some areas that get a lot of rain in a few hours. Localised

:32:37. > :32:42.flooding is a possibility. It will feel humid as well for Wednesday.

:32:43. > :32:46.Temperatures peaking at 30 Celsius. That is the hottest day we will see

:32:47. > :32:49.in this current warm spell. Things will turn cooler and fresher towards

:32:50. > :32:55.the end of the week as Atlantic air moves in from the West. Temperatures

:32:56. > :33:00.getting close to normal. 22 degrees for London. On the cool side in the

:33:01. > :33:01.Northwest. This weather only with us for the next few days.

:33:02. > :33:02.Thank you. A reminder of our main
