wimbledon today. it has been great forjoanna contact. she has made the start she wanted to against the russian earlier today. it just start she wanted to against the russian earlier today. itjust ended a few minutes ago. but she did not make it easy for herself. she started very strong in the opening set, to control over the young russian. johanna konta looked composed, but in the second set she really struggled. her opponent winning three games in a row at one point which did it to a tie—break. johanna konta found herform again during the tie—break, but she blew four set points in a row. eventually she managed to edge it over her russian opponent, taking it 7—6 in the end the tie—breaker. perhaps not as composed or strong as she wanted to start the campaign, last year she
1:37 pm
reached the semifinals at wimbledon, so reached the semifinals at wimbledon, so she be hoping to repeat that impressive performance. she's not the only british player. kyle edmund has started, you can see him in action, against alex bolt. he has gone one set up. a lot of pressure on kyle edmund, with andy murray missing. a lot of people with high hopes for him. he reached the third round of the us open and the french 0pen round of the us open and the french open and got through to the semifinals of the australian open in january. a lot of people looking for the british number one to do well here this year. and i must say, the world cup is not quite missing altogether here, if you look around the crowd, look out for some england shirts. a lot of people showing their support for the brits and the england team in russia. thank you, a

1:39 pm
news breaking and that they had got through to the children which was wonderful. wonderful news the children had been found but it must have been worrying for you watching those stages, as every day went by, thinking about your son and the operation. the weather has not helped at all. when they went up the mountain and started to drill, they seemed pretty certain they were on track and that was how they got in higher up the mountain. yes, i mean, if you are mother you know what it is like to worry about your children, no matter how old you are a. 0nes, always am. children, no matter how old you are a. ones, always am. how does it feel that your boy is going to effectively be held as a hero across the world, and here's your boy? how was that feeling? it is a feeling of pride, but tojohn it isjust an
1:40 pm
everyday job. pride, but tojohn it isjust an everydayjob. he is quite a private person. you as a family are quite private as well. this must come as a shock that there is so much interest in the family here. well, yes, it is the first time i have had television cameras in the house are anything like that, it happens to everyone else but not to use. i am just delighted for them all and hopefully get the children out safely. what do you think you will say to him when he comes home? what on earth can you say to somebody having been through such an extraordinary...? say to somebody having been through such an extraordinary. . . ? probably just give him a big hug and cry. jill volanthen, the just give him a big hug and cry. jill vola nthen, the mother of just give him a big hug and cry. jill volanthen, the mother of one of two british divers who found the group in northern thailand. martyn farr, a fellow cave diver and friend of rick stanton and john volanthen told us why the thai authorities selected them for the rescue effort.
1:41 pm
john, unfortunately, was cold to a coal—mining incident here in south wales, a few years before that in 2014, rick and john were called to a major incident in france, where they attempted to recover a french cave diver. in 2004, rick was responsible for rescuing a party of british cavers from a flooded cave in mexico. to these guys have got a tremendous track record, they are very efficient, extremely competent and they exemplify the utmost professionalism. that was martin talking about his friends after those remarkable scenes yesterday. the group are
1:42 pm
still trapped in people on the ground are trying to make the decision of how and when to get them out. we will keep you up—to—date. a roman catholic archbishop in australia has been sentenced to 12 months house arrest for covering up child sexual abuse. the archbishop of adelaide, philip wilson, remained silent as a magistrate delivered the decision not to send him to jail. hywel griffith reports. will you now resign? refusing to repent, philip wilson stayed silent as he arrived at court. appointed by the pope, he has so far clung onto his title as archbishop of adelaide, while stepping aside from his duties. he broke the law in 2004 by refusing to report child abuse, disclosed to him decades ago. his 12 month detention order means he will not go to jail but may have to wear an electronic tag instead. but abuse survivors want him sacked. how on earth can someone who has
1:43 pm
been convicted of knowing that children were being abused by a catholic priest remain the archbishop of adelaide? peter was a ten—year—old altar boy when he was sexually abused. the priest at his church, james fletcher, told him he needed to be punished. a few years later, peter confided in philip wilson, telling him exactly what had happened, but the archbishop did nothing and the priest was able to abuse again. i hit rock bottom, knowing that the guilt that i carried and so forth, if i had persevered with wilson or if wilson had done something, then that poor boy who may not have been abused. because the abuser could have been stopped if other wilson had acted? stopped if father wilson had acted? yes, definitely.
1:44 pm
the church is accused of systematically concealing abuse around the world. so far, the pope has accepted three resignations. the court heard that wilson had refused to come forward because of his unflinching loyalty to the catholic church. he had shown no contrition. failing to report abuse is an offence in this part of australia, but in many parts of the world it is not against the law. after avoiding prison, philip wilson was able to walk from court. the catholic church says it wants to support abuse survivors, but has refused to condemn one of its own. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. a female health worker is arrested on suspicion of murdering eight babies — and attempting to kill six others at the countess of chester hospital. rescue workers in thailand are trying to work out how to bring 12 boys and their football coach out
1:45 pm
of a cave system where they've been trapped for ten days. england prepare to take on colombia tonight in moscow for a place in the world cup quarter final. i'm maryam moshiri — in the business news... a warning over brexit from a major business organisation. the british chambers of commerce has published a list of what it calls 23 "real—world" questions that it wa nts urgently a nswered. the list covers subjects including vat, tariffs, customs and regulations. the uk construction sector picked up injune, according to the latest study. more work in the residential sector and an acceleration in commercial building was behind the rise. it was the third month in a row that the sector grew after contracting in march big pay deals to bosses and investors by water companies have damaged customer trust,
1:46 pm
according to the regulator 0fwat. it's published new rules that will force firms to explain how bosses pay is linked to performance and to prioritise customers' interests. it comes as the bosses of several water firms prepare to be quizzed by mps. a major business organisation has warned the therea may that firms are running out of patience over the lack of progress in the brexit talks. the british chambers of commerce has published a list of 23 "real—world" questions that it says urgently need answers as the uk's eu exit approaches. the list covers subjects including vat, tariffs, customs and regulations. joining us now with more on this is mike spicer, director of research and economics, british chambers of commerce. thanks forjoining us. tell me what 23 real—world questions means. thanks forjoining us. tell me what 23 real-world questions means. this is what brexit means for business,
1:47 pm
not some kind of high political model, it is a series of answers to basic questions. if i am a business, willingly to pay vat on goods at the point of import, when i need to register my business in every country on the continent of i want to conduct services they are? fundamentally, if i have products being developed or in the pipeline, doi being developed or in the pipeline, do i need to find a testing house on the continent instead of the uk so that we can have the correct testing and recognition of those tests? these are basic questions that businesses do not have to think about in their everyday lives, but will have to think about in a post—brexit world, and that is why we're asking the government to provide clarity on it at this crucial point in the brexitjourney. it would be fair to say that until we know exactly which direction these discussions are the government cannot quite get into the nitty—gritty of things, can it? cannot quite get into the nitty-gritty of things, can it? but
1:48 pm
the nitty—gritty is where businesses wa nt the nitty—gritty is where businesses want them to go. we haven't had any guidelines guidance from government departments on how to plan for brexit in different scenarios and outcomes. are less than nine months away from exiting the eu, and that isa away from exiting the eu, and that is a very short window for businesses to make major changes to their business models. if they are having to pay additional tax on goods, for instance, they will have two hold more working capital, if they need to switch the place where they need to switch the place where they test their products to supply on the continent, they may have to queue up for that. so, we are at a crucial point, just nine months away from brexit and most of the basic questions that businesses need a nswe i’s questions that businesses need a nswers to questions that businesses need answers to ourjust not answered. so, what kind of brexit do businesses that are talking to you wa nt to businesses that are talking to you want to see? first and foremost, they want there to be a deal of some kind. when we surveyed our members on this question, just after the
1:49 pm
last general election, only 2% of oui’ last general election, only 2% of our membership of the two and a half thousand businesses we surveyed at that time wanted to see no deal as a desirable outcome. did as a diversity of views and opinions as to the nature of any final post—brexit deal, but what everyone is agreed upon as whatever the future, we need to have some clarity over what it looks like as soon as possible so we can plan for it. thank you very much indeed. some of the other business stories... us regulators will investigate the global mining company, glencore — asking it to provide documents and records related to its business in nigeria, the democratic republic of congo and venezuela. it's investigating whether glencore broke us money laundering laws. the trump administration says it doesn't want one of the world's biggest phone carriers, china mobile, to provide telecom services within the us, blaming national security concerns. state—owned china mobile applied to the us federal communications commission for a licence to do so in 2011. but the us department of commerce has recommended

1:53 pm
# it's coming, football's coming home! # it's coming home... we've just spoken to some england fans, how was it? it was passionate. it was passion, it was nice to find them, when they started it felt good. it felt good to be amongst england fans. there weren't enough this year. walking through the red square, we then bump into some colombian fans, and so they then throw on their own colombian shirts. you don't get this sort of dancing with the english fans. you get salsa, colombia. colombia! having brought both england and columbia shirts, whoever wins, they will have the right shirt to wear the next day. there will be more after two o'clock on the build—up. around the world millions of people scrape together a living from the rubbish the rest of us throw away. scavenging sell—able waste from open—air dumps is dirty and dangerous work, but for many it is the onlyjob they know. but in morocco, a community of waste pickers have built an alternative
