might be. this is the fittest england squad there has ever been. and phil neville said he would not have taken this job on if he didn't believe they could win the world cup. england drew with usa in february on their home soil and in 2017 as well it was a goal from ellen white that separated the two sides and england beat the usa for the first time ever so the usa are not infallible and that's why this will be such an exciting match. it is predicted to be a sell—out crowd, 57,900 at the stadium. they have been getting it ready with the red, white and blue seat. the bankers have been on. fortunately they have been turned off because we were in danger of getting soaked! but the pictures looking fantastic and also the temperature has dropped. it was 37 degrees yesterday, fortunately it will be 26 so more comfortable playing conditions tonight. this is the pitch where lucy bronze plays her club football and has never lost here in two seasons. let's see if you can keep that going. thank you. the women's ashes starts today, a terrible start for the women. they are 43—4 after ten overs. the

papers. joe root raises many of the front covers. what do you reckon the mood is like in australia? phil mercer is in sydney for us. on the whole, i would say the australians, they don't like being beaten in any sport, but cricket runs deep, this rivalry. never before has australia lost a cricket world cup semi—final, but now they have. watching sport, especially international sport, can bea especially international sport, can be a bit of an issue in australia, given the time difference between edgbaston and here in eastern australia. the game would have been wrapping up at about 2am. many australian fans who did make it into work this morning could have been forgiven that it was all a bad dream, because the game would have finished too late for most of the newspapers to have splashed anything on their back page. safe to say online the commentary has been pretty downbeat here in australia. 1 news website saying that the australians had received a shellacking from england. now the postmortem begins. what could australia have done better? i think most australian fans agreeing with skippe

consecutive world cup semi—final. and although they face the favourites and reigning champions, manager phil neville is not concerned. i'm not worried about anything. i never do. never worry about the opposition. we concentrate a lot on what we can do, how we're going to try and win a game. and our strengths and our values and the style of play that we want to play is the most important thing. for the first time this formula one season someone other than a mercedes driver has won a grand prix. in austria, red bull's max verstappen took the lead from ferrari's charles leclerc with a couple of laps to go, but the move prompted a stewards investigation which took three hours to confirm victory. championship leader lewis hamilton failed to get on the podium for the first time this season, finishing fifth. caster semenya won the 800 metres at a diamond league meeting in california. it's the first time the south african has raced over the distance for almost 2 months. a ruling by world athletics forcing her to take hormone—suppressants has been temporarily overturned by a swiss court allowing he

the final which means meeting england tonight. phil neville using that cleverly a nd tonight. phil neville using that cleverly and saying, that is not something we would ever do. whether 01’ something we would ever do. whether or not the usa were aware it would cause a much fuss, we're not sure. the top player in the us team will be marked by lucy bronze. phil neville says that is simply one of the best defenders in the world. we will be bringing you all the buildup from lyon and catching up with what happened yesterday, a dramatic day at wimbledon. thank you so much. we're so looking forward to it. i think we have the weather now. she is having an interesting 2a hours. wimbledon and now in lyon. com pletely wimbledon and now in lyon. completely random, bumped into my dad at the station. and an incredible day at wimbledon where cori gauf, 15 bit venus williams stop what we're doing at the age of 15? listening to the news. not only was she brilliant on cot by the postmatch interview was sort of compose. she almost thanked venus williams at the net for being an inspiration. incredi

119 runs. they'll meet india or australia for a place in the final. england women's head coach phil neville has thanked the nation for the support given to his side during the world cup. a peak audience of 11.7 million watched their semi—final defeat to the usa on bbc1. that's a new record for women's football in the uk and now neville said it had really made a difference. i'd like to say on behalf of myself, the players and the whole of the fa of the support you have been playing that makes ending, the messages, the coverage back home, has been absolutely incredible. the support have been incredible. we have been inspired, we have been motivated, you have given us energy and the love and care and support you have given us has been amazing. there is another chance to get behind the line esses when they will behind the line esses when they will be playing third place against sweden. after the swedes lost their semi—final against the netherlands 1—0 in lyon. manchester united midfielder jackie groenen's goal in extra time saw the european champions through to sunday's final, whe

, phil neville would be a failure, phil neville would say. we have done our very best. we have not left anything in oui’ best. we have not left anything in our dressing room and i told them that be no tears, we should be proud. we touch the hearts of the nations back home and they have left everything on the foot field so i am happy. the usa put england under pressure from the start. christen press headed the defending champions in front after nine minutes. instead of wilting in the heat, england hit back. this ellen white's six goal of the tournament. things were looking up the tournament. things were looking up that there is no keeping america quite for long. another cross, another header another goal for alex morgan. england still had plenty of fight left in them. white in the heart of it all. england were awarded a penalty and a lifeline. it was time for the captain to step up but steph houghton failed to seize the moment. a heartbreaking and to an impressive tournament. england's weight for a major trophy goes on. an impressive tournament. england's weight for a major trophy

lifted reporting restrictions. phil mackie is following the case at birmingham crown court. yes, i have been following the case for three and a half years. i went on one of the three raids of operation fought as the operation became known in west bromwich. when the police raided an ordinary look terrors has to —— ordinary —looking terraced housing. the man who is pa rt terraced housing. the man who is part of the gang of polish criminals brought people over to this country with the promise of a job, nice accommodation and they were forced into menial work, terrible accommodation, and they had their wages are stolen from them. as you say, it is the biggest investigation of its kind, the first time we can report the story after reporting restrictions were lifted at birmingham crown court today. victims were made to live in rooms like this often without heating or light. the gang was made up heating or light. the gang was made up of three women and five men. these men were found guilty of modern slavery offences for the first time, the bbc can report that five others were convicted.

down here i want share with you. there is an interview about phil neville. this is one of those situations where they have taken a quote from the interview, saying that phil neville is not the best coach. that he made england a better side because of its almost a bit like a backhanded compliment. she is saying he admitted that tactically he may be needs to learn more but actually, he was to create relationships with players, fans, staff and he has really done that. that has helped to drive us on at the tournament and become a better team. ican the tournament and become a better team. i can tell you, the lionesses, they will be here. they will be here and we will see them and i‘m sure that of fans will be delighted to see them here at wimbledon. lucky them. how do you get into that royal box? it is what me and carol have tried to find out. 0h, box? it is what me and carol have tried to find out. oh, come on. i can‘t believe you haven‘t found out yet! every day we trifles of every day we try. i put carol in front of me, i hide behind her. still, no chance. i am concerned abo

stay in lyon and b in the final. the whole of the squad, and phil neville truly believed we could beat the usa, and not to do so was heartbreaking, especially after missing that penalty. it has taken the squad a couple of days but they have picked themselves up and they say that now they are galvanised and they are looking forward to salvaging something from this world cup, and going home with a medal in this third—place play—off. four yea rs this third—place play—off. four years ago england won bronze at the world cup in canada and several of the members of this current squad we re the members of this current squad were in that squad. they don't want to do worse than they did four years ago, and equally there were some women who were not in that squad four years ago who don't have a world cup medal. to go with something as tangible as a bronze medal would be a great achievement. it is always difficult to win a medal at a world cup, and phil neville has said that when this tournament is done, he wants to look back on it and know that england have played to the best of thei

, according to their manager phil neville. the lionesses lost their third successive semi—final at a major football tournament. let's cross live to lyon and speak to the bbc‘s sally nugent. watching that game last night as so many of us wear, it had everything, drama, moments of hope in moments of despair? anita, you absolutely are right. it did have a little bit of everything. when you look at the gulf that has been the historically between england and the usa, the usa area between england and the usa, the usa are a very strong team. it is getting more narrow, they are getting more narrow, they are getting closer together, the margins are narrow now. it is only a matter of time, i imagine, untilsomebody can get past the usa. but a dramatic night. 53,000 people packed into the stadium just over there here in lyon. millions watched from home as all the drama unfolded. this is our report from katie gornall. there was drama, there was hope, but for england it was a familiar story, yet again the world cup dream has ended in tears. "defeat in a semifinal would be a failure," phil neville had

off their perch. england will also try to be the last one standing in lyon. phil neville‘s side arrived in the city with the weight of history on their shoulders, but it hardly seems a burden. this will be the biggest game of their careers and they are ready to embrace it. commentator: here is lucy bronze! what a goal. much depends on england‘s right back. lucy bronze was the talk of the tournament after her goal against norway. her manager described her as the best player in the world, and not for the first time. it is becoming like white noise now. i think he said it two weeks after i first met him, to be honest, that now people are talking to me about itand i am like, i know, he keeps saying it to me. it‘s getting a little bit annoying! he always wants to challenge me to be the best, to do the best, to do more — to do more and i think it brings the best out of me. england have reached the semifinals in three consecutive major tournaments. now they need to take that next step. standing in their way is a formidable opponent. the usa are the world‘s number one side, they

women's world cup. phil neville says he has been planning for this match since the day he took the job. —— usa. they are two of the best teams in the world, the united states with the firepower and in england's defence, the brilliance of lucy. it's a exciting time for me. i can't wait to go up against the best. after three days of talks, eu leaders have agreed the names that will fill the top posts in the eu institutions. we'll be live in brussels. the chinese government accuses protesters who ransacked the territory's parliament of trampling the rule of law. and happy birthday to the walkman as the portable music device hits middle age this week. welcome. i'm christian fraser in washington, david is in london. in one hour, england's lionesses will ta ke one hour, england's lionesses will take on the reigning champions team usa in the semifinals of the 2019 women's world cup in lyon. they are seen as the overwhelming favourites but this is an england side full of talent, perhaps peaking atjust the right time and in the most recent meeting between these two, it was too dashed to

who hand in their weapons will be compensated as phil mercer explains. dozens of people came to a racecourse in the south island city to hand in weapons that are now illegal. we are really proud of what we have achieved today. we have had 169 people come through today, we have had handed over 224 firearms, 217 parts, and $153,000 had been paid out to people handing over firearms. the engagement with the public from the firearms public in canterbury has been stunning. new zealand has been forced to change its attitudes to firearms. gun ownership has been high, but the mosque attack four months ago in christchurch prompted a ban on military—style semiautomatics. more than $130 million has been set aside to compensate owners of prohibited weapons. they have until december to hand them in. more than 250 buy—back events will be held across new zealand. some owners are complaining that the amount of compensation they will receive is inadequate. but in christchurch, there is an acceptance that gun owners must do the right thing. the law changed and i can understand, it makes everyone

want to take you back to a comment that phil neville said, talking about how nobody remembers a loser. how key has he beenin remembers a loser. how key has he been in building up the psyche of the team. i think he has been instrumental. they have smiles on their faces instrumental. they have smiles on theirfaces and instrumental. they have smiles on their faces and they seem to enjoy as much they can and he has instilled that into them for the past 18 months. people like we know now, they have been given something back to that team and they're reaping the rewards for it now and like i say, they can get the right result. ultimately though, a lot of experience in the us side. defence and attack whites, how do england look? and how key will this be?m is key in any game that you play, the players that are mobile and can get forward at the same time, both teams are going to go head—to—head with this because the americans, they are very strong as well, my physical and they'll be there for the 90 minutes, if not beyond that, within 30 minutes extra time, sign is going to come right

brought the scores level. phil neville at the coach is speaking, let's just listen in. phil neville at the coach is speaking, let'sjust listen in. she would do it that the way that she does, she will look forward to getting back to the hotel, she be upset and disappointed, but has been phenomenal and no blame should be attached to her. there is a bronze medal still to be played for, going into that match. that is football, thatis into that match. that is football, that is support and you've got to keep picking yourself up and we have a big game now on saturday, i have lost track of days. it will go again and will win that game. this team never gave up,. this is just one more week that we can add onto, it isjust incredible and she isa onto, it isjust incredible and she is a good player of the match, she saved us. she saved our buts today. this is such a great game for us and we made it to the final. how did that save change the momentum of this match? it was around the time marie knew we had to buckle down, we knew that they like that one touch to the ball and we just had to stick to the ba

, including mississippi. phil bryant is mississippi's governor. you've announced that your goal is to end abortion in mississippi. why? because we think it is murder. we think that it is an innocent life. children are being torn apart in the womb, their skulls are being crushed. this is a horrific way to die. i think america is going to wake up one day. this is infanticide. i think the people of the state of mississippi are very much pro—life. they would like to try to end abortion here. and we'll see what the supreme court says about that at some point in the future. america's supreme court granted women the right to abortion in a landmark 1973 case. roe v wade, as it's known, restricted the right of individual states to ban abortion. the new southern abortion bans ? most under legal dispute ? are a direct challenge to the supreme court ruling. the whole idea here is to change the current law. the reason that these bans are being enacted is the states want to force the issue in the supreme court. this is what they want more than anything. they want the court to change the legal sta

africa for the bronze, a match, as tracy's brother phil knows all too well, nobody wants to play. in cycling, defending champion geraint thomas lost to julian alaphilippe on stage 14 at the tour to france, with just alaphilippe on stage 14 at the tour to france, withjust over alaphilippe on stage 14 at the tour to france, with just over half a mile to go on the iconic mountain, thibaut pinot won the stage, and julian alaphilippe finished seven seconds ahead of geraint thomas to extend his lead. australia declared on 420 end today's women's ashes test match. england recovered to 199 — six, but with one day of the test left, i draw is the most likely outcome. england having lost 31—day matches already. she says she is in the best form of her life, and it was an impressive win for laura muir, who romped home in the ladies'1,500m. she was the favourite, after faith kipyegon withdrew from the race. i'm just going to sit and use my strength, i thought, and many of the girls run fast times over longer distances, andi fast times over longer distances, and i knew that it was my range and

, phil mackie, has been following the case at birmingham crown court. and we learnt today that this is a problem that is hidden in plain sight. there are cases of this going on almost everywhere in the uk where people are being exploited, forced to work long hours and menialjobs and their wages stolen off them as was the case with these mostly polish men who were traffic to the uk and full still live in appalling accommodation, mostly around west bromwich. i actually went on one of the first operations as part of what became known as operation fraud. backin became known as operation fraud. back in 2015 to an ordinary terraced house in west bromwich were men were found to be living in appalling conditions upstairs while a member of the gang were living with his family downstairs. he was jailed for three years today, he got the lower sentence three years today, he got the lower sentence because three years today, he got the lower sentence because he pleaded guilty. the maximum sentence of 11 years went to a man who failed to turn up to court, so he was sentenced in his absence and a warran

reach the semis. well, one england team, of course, got that far this summer, coached by phil neville — his sister tracey leads england's netballers. she's leaving after this world cup to start a family, but she believes her departure comes at the perfect time. if someone said to me, what would be your ideal scenario to win a gold medal? you think, i want the whole stadium full of red and white, but more importantly i want to do this with the team, and i think that at the moment i feel that we've got a massive tick box on all them characteristics of being able to come out of his tournament with a win. these athletes now have a major platform to build a legacy for the sport. england's captain is relishing the opportunity. to be able to lift the world cup on home soil, in front of friends and family, supporters, young boys, young girls, just everyone who has followed us on this journey up until this point, would just be monumental. this morning, australia began as they mean to go on, thrashing northern ireland 88—21! — a reminder, if england needed one, that diamonds thriv

starts on bbc two at 11am. england head coach phil neville says his team have to win bronze and end the women's world cup ona high bronze and end the women's world cup on a high despite being sick of losing semifinals. they were beaten by the usa in the last four. england play sweden this afternoon. 0bviously play sweden this afternoon. obviously this isn't where england wa nted obviously this isn't where england wanted to be, but they have to go out on a positive note according to phil neville. they didn't want to come back here to nice but they wa nted come back here to nice but they wanted to stay in lyon and play in the final. the squad and phil neville truly believe they could have beaten the usa and stay there and got to the final but it wasn't to be. it was such heartbreaking scenes at the final whistle, especially after that crucial penalty miss as well. england losing out to the best team in the world, no shame in that. it might have taken them a little while but they say they've picked themselves up and are ready to salvage something from the world cup in this third—place pl

players who have generated so much hope. the coach, phil neville has been giving his reaction. my players give me everything. we said before the game, we wanted to leave our hearts and soul on that pitch and we did. we gave everything. we have gone toto with the best team in the world. —— toe to toe. we went down to ten men and probably just ran toe to toe. we went down to ten men and probablyjust ran out of steam. around 50,000 fans packed the stadium here in lyon. i can tell you the atmosphere was absolutely incredible and there have been parties in pubs and restaurants across many parts of the uk, watching the game this evening but, of course, a lot of the celebrations people were hoping to have now turn to sadness and sorrow is have been drowned as a result of the loss. short of being in lyon itself, this was one of the best places to watch the action, battersea park in south london, where the crowd lived through every twist and turn of the game. everyone jumped up and was cheering, really excited, it was great. it was great, yeah, it's a beautiful venue, perfect place to

during his defeat to the american tennys sandgren. phil neville described england's third place playoff at the world cup as nonsense. and the players were pretty crestfallen afterwards too. they lost to sweden in nice after going 2—0 down in the first 22 minutes. sofia jakobsson getting the second. england rallied later in the first half and got a goal thanks to fran kirby. and their comeback would have been complete were it not for another intervention from the var. just like in the semi final against the usa.

sweden in the third—place play—off. head coach phil neville says his team want to end the women's world cup on a high with the lionesses looking to match their best finish at a world cup after coming third in canada in 2015. we want to win this game. i want to send a message to my players that this game is important. we do — we do have certain positions that we will need to freshen up in but my players know, they are under no illusions that this game is one we want to win. we want to go away from this world cup with something to show for the hard work we have put in but also, six wins, one defeat sounds better than five wins and two defeats, so i want to be laying on a sunbed next week happy that we have finished the tournament well and not finished on two defeats. paul pogba wants to leave manchester united — that's according to his agent. —— and you can lie on your sofa today and watch it. today, we have the last two matches of the group stage of the cricket world cup, with sri lanka taking on india at headingley and australia—south africa at old trafford. unsurprising

news, phil neville says england reaching tonight's semifinal at the women's world cup is not an achievement and only winning the tournament can be considered that. they face the holders usa in lyon. it's make or break tonight for england's lionesses as they take on the usa for a place in the women's world cup final. a crowd of more than 50,000 is expected at the game in lyon with millions more watching on television. clive myrie is in lyon for us. this is a huge game but also a massive game for english football. they are trying to become the first senior side to reach the final of a major tournament since 1966. the usa tea m major tournament since 1966. the usa team in the hoteljust over there are the world number one. they are the defending champions. they go into the game as massive favourites, but, and a big but, there is a sense of self belief in the english side, with the coach phil neville saying he would consider it a failure if the team do not progress tonight. we can get the latest now. the ancient sport of water jousting is a french tradition. it is about keeping calm,

. phil nevels england side at the world cup right now. that's correct, perfect bank on point for that one. loads happening away from the all england club today. let's start with the women's world cup, where england's tournament has come to a disappointing end with a 2—1 defeat to sweden in the 3rd/4th place play—off match in nice. we can cross to jane dougall now, who is pitchside for us. and jane it's the game nobody wants to really play in but still one the lionesses won't be happy about losing? i think they will be devastated, they came to the torment wanting to win but as a stadion and peed, so had their dreams because they came forth in a tournament which they we re forth in a tournament which they were aware of the favourites to win, but the fact of the matter is they we re but the fact of the matter is they were just not that today against a very tight site, and the fact for the first 20 minutes sweden were all over england and the princeton goal came, eight minutes and, come like the captain had to go off because she had something in her ear and eye she had something

first well cut many had played in. it is different for phil neville's squad now. he has been saying they wanted it to be america, they want the challenge and they are excited, they don't feel nervous and they are ready. it is about beating they are ready. it is about beating the best, if you win the world cup and get to the final you want to know you have played all the teams and deserve it. last time we played america was in march and we drew 22. we have beaten them in 2000 and 1710—macro in the same tournament. we are getting closer to it and the girls believe today there is a wonderful opportunity. they have a different mental strength, the americans because three times world champion, 0lympic winners as well. it is something we are still learning but today is the chance for england women to put themselves there and they know they have got there and they know they have got the support of the nation. so many people will be tuning in and people in the pubs to watch it on the big screens back home to support them. that will filter through to the players and give them extra motivation.

has been injured and phil neville told a story about her today. he said that when he got given the job, he got a text m essa g e when he got given the job, he got a text message and he wasn't sure who it was from. it was from karen and it was from. it was from karen and it said. i'm going to the world cup. and he thought, bit cheeky but he said he liked it and was impressed by how well she played for club and then after that, they bonded and of course she has got so much experience and that is one of the things she has got to this world cup. she has helped to natural younger players and bring them through. this is the fourth world cup and she has also played for great britain in the 2012 olympics without hundred and 43 caps. she has given everything for her country physically and mentally. she has been well documented to have suffered from depression for a number of years. and she said that shejust number of years. and she said that she just felt she had no number of years. and she said that shejust felt she had no more left in the tank and shall announce full retirement from internati

. there is phil neville, he has made four changes to the line—up since the semifinal and this is live on bbc one. tomorrow it is the turn of the netherlands versus the united states where the final takes place. kick—off is at four o'clock and coverage starts on bbc one. emergency crews in southern california are tackling a number of fires and gas leaks after the state was hit with its biggest earthquake in more than 20 years. the epicentre of the quake, which had a magnitude of 7.1, was near the city of ridgecrest, about 150 miles north—east of los angeles. angus crawford's report contains some flashing images. oh, my god. fear and shock. two quakes in two days. this one, 7.1 on the richter scale, the largest for 20 years. nerves stretched to the limit. go, go, go! panic is infectious. 8:21am here on the air, we are experiencing... and very public. i think we need to get under the desk. 0k, we're going to go to break. will be right back. wow. in hollywood, tourists weren't sure what to make of it. everything's moving, and the chandelier was shaking, and the kids were saying, it's an

home from the world cup empty handed. the head coach phil neville questioned the need for a bronze medal match, describing it as a "nonsense game". sweden won 2—1. jane dougall reports. nice is where england's world cup campaign began, and it's here theirjourney will end. still the chance of a medal, but the lionesses had to get past the gold and blue of sweden, which proved difficult. 0n the attack from the start, a cross blocked by alex greenwood unwittingly set up kosovare asllani. commentator: 1—0 to sweden. england were looking exposed at the back. a pass to sofia jakobsson, who was left free to shoot. it's a terrific finish. the lionesses looked like they had wilted in the heat. but then jill scott fought through midfield and found fran kirby. kirby! 2-1. 0n fire now, top goal—scorer ellen white chested the ball down and thought she'd put them level. 2-2! but it was the referee who looked again. handball, and just as in the semifinal, var denied white an equaliser. it then fell to lucy bronze for a last chance, but a superb clearance by the sweden defender and the lione

the media about the match. and her manager phil neville has repeated that she is the best player in the world. she was asked if that put any more pressure on her going into tomorrow's match. it is lovely that he has so much belief and confidence in me, but for me personally, i don't see it as a pressure because i don't see it as a pressure because i don't feel like i am there yet. am still striving to be better, still striving to be a better player. every day. i want to be better than the day before, then the game that i had previously. and i continue to that, i know he says i am a player that, i know he says i am a player that if he sets me a challenge i will go on to complete the challenge as soon as possible. a lovely compliment to receive although i don't fully believe it. very modest from lucy bronze. how british offer. but also in contrast, members of the american team have been described as being arrogant. 0ne american team have been described as being arrogant. one of their players said they were the best first and second team in the whole of the world. of course, they had t

match england wanted to be playing in but phil neville says they have to finish the women's world cup on a high despite being "sick" of losing semi—finals. they were beaten by the defending champions usa in the last four and england play sweden this afternoon in the third—place play—off. jane dougall‘s in nice for us. the england squad did not want to be here playing for a third place. of course they wanted to be in lyon, fighting in the world cup final for the trophy, but after the devastating loss against the usa, they have to salvage something from this world cup. they play against sweden in the third placed player. some of the members of the squad would in canada in 2015 when they w011 would in canada in 2015 when they won a bronze medal, —— were not in canada, so for them to wind a bronze medal would be something to be very proud of. those who were there four yea rs proud of. those who were there four years ago want to do just as well as they did back then. going into the match she would say england are the favourites, but sweden are a very strong squad, not much sepa
