does. right back for slovenia does. come the half—time whistle, there were jeers from some fans. after the break, a change. 19—year—old kobbie mainoo was brought on, and england started to some pressure. slovenia were starting to scramble but england still couldn't find a way through. time for another fresh face, a first euros appearance for coal palmer, but still no breakthrough. a shot from declan rice flashed wide, as england searched desperately for a goal. but it was all to no avail, as slovenia held on for a goalless draw. delight for a goalless draw. delight for them, for a goalless draw. delight forthem, but for a goalless draw. delight for them, but for england, another is display and another difficult night. they might be through to the last 16 but they know they will need to find some form there, and fast. andy swiss, bbc news. well, you saw the likes of john stones and jordan pickford applauding the fans there. some booed them. plastic cups were also thrown onto the pitch.

the england manager gareth southgate says he's happy to take supporters�* stick, instead of the players. i stick, instead of the players. understand it. i'm no�* to i understand it. i'm not going to back away from it. the most important thing here is that the supporters stay with the team. i understand the sort of narrative towards me, and, you know, that is betterfor the team than it being towards them. but it is creating an unusual environment to operate in. i have not seen any other team qualify and receive similar. so this is what it all means for group c. denmark serbia was also a drab 0—0 draw so denmark and slovenia join england in the last 16. denmark and slovenia, see

there, played three, drew three. slovenia, would you believe, have never actually won a game at the euros. denmark finished ahead of slovenia by having a better head—to—head record in qualifying. as for england, top of the group, one win, two draws, two goals and not a lot to excite, and in a week where their comments have caused as much attention as the players, just what did the pundits make of this latest display? i of this latest display? 1 think, for me, you of this latest display? i think, for me, you know, a number of players stood out, foden in particular played really well, but it is again building those relationships, and feeling like you have freedom to go and express yourself. ifeel like freedom to go and express yourself. i feel like for the last couple of days, they are holding back —— last couple of games, but we want them to express themselves and have fun and be the best version of themselves as this england team, that's what fans want, so hopefully this was a much improved performance from the last game against denmark, and hopefully we will see it again

in the last 16. i hopefully we will see it again in the last 16.— hopefully we will see it again in the last 16. i suppose from the outside _ in the last 16. i suppose from the outside we _ in the last 16. i suppose from the outside we are _ in the last 16. i suppose from the outside we are looking i in the last 16. i suppose from the outside we are looking in | the outside we are looking in and saying he has not figured out yet, the best team, those relationships you are asking about, ellen, so how would that make you feel as a player in that situation?— that situation? they will be aware of — that situation? they will be aware of it, _ that situation? they will be aware of it, there - that situation? they will be aware of it, there is - that situation? they will be aware of it, there is no - aware of it, there is no getting _ aware of it, there is no getting away from it. i think the reaction has not been great to the _ the reaction has not been great to the first two games but i really — to the first two games but i really got the impression they believe — really got the impression they believe this was going to be a performance tonight. and it wasn't _ performance tonight. and it wasn't. especially the first halt — wasn't. especially the first half. but we are saying we are looking — half. but we are saying we are looking for a bit of personality and people looking for it _ personality and people looking for it and i did feel like the second _ for it and i did feel like the second half of few people would 'ust second half of few people would just like — second half of few people would just like you know what, give me the — just like you know what, give me the ball, i'm going to make it happen _ me the ball, i'm going to make it happen. they didn't make it happen— it happen. they didn't make it happen which is the key thing but at — happen which is the key thing but at least people were saying we have — but at least people were saying we have nothing to lose here, we have nothing to lose here, we are — we have nothing to lose here, we are a — we have nothing to lose here, we are a good team, this team is sitting — we are a good team, this team is sitting in, i will try and hurt _ is sitting in, i will try and hurt them. so you've heard from the manager. you've heard from the ex—players. but what did the fans make of it? it is all the build—up, we build up and then there are so many options and we don't take it.—

we don't take it. boring, isn't it? gareth — we don't take it. boring, isn't it? gareth southgate - we don't take it. boring, isn't it? gareth southgate has - we don't take it. boring, isn'tl it? gareth southgate has been blacked — it? gareth southgate has been blacked out, everyone knows how to play— blacked out, everyone knows how to play him. going backwards in time _ to play him. going backwards in time go— to play him. going backwards in time. go forward, let's attack. i've watched all of our game so far, i've watched all of our game so far. they— i've watched all of our game so far. they are _ i've watched all of our game so far, they are all— i've watched all of our game so far, they are all the _ i've watched all of our game so far, they are all the same, - far, they are all the same, hone — far, they are all the same, none of— far, they are all the same, none of them _ far, they are all the same, none of them are - far, they are all the same, none of them are exciting. far, they are all the same, i none of them are exciting. i -et none of them are exciting. i get more _ none of them are exciting. i get more enjoyment- none of them are exciting. i. get more enjoyment watching other— get more enjoyment watching other teams _ get more enjoyment watching otherteams.

teams. france finished second in their group, after a 1—1 draw with poland. kylian mbappe — wearing a mask for his injured nose — opening the scoring from the penalty spot. robert lewandowski saw a penalty saved, but it was retaken and he made no mistake second time around but ultimately poland will be heading home early. the second group phase at the men's t20 world cup is already decided and what a story this is. afghanistan all—rounder rashid khan says it's an unbelievable feeling to reach the semi—finals for the first time in their history by beating bangladesh, and in doing so knocking out the 2021 champions, australia. our sports correspondentjoe wilson has the story. ona rainy on a rainy night in st vincent, afghanistan's men reached a new level. they might be surprised if we are still surprised. they keep finding, producing such talented players, like faisal

had very key, the leading wicket paper in this tournament. now veen ul—haq is close behind. he took four wickets as they chased a rain adjusted total. rashid khan is adjusted total. rashid khan is a global bowling superstar. afghanistan's captain, and afg hanistan�*s captain, and still only afghanistan's captain, and still only 25. bangladesh were all out nine runs short of their victory target, a nervy, staring, inspiring win.- their victory target, a nervy, staring, inspiring win. yes, i think the _ staring, inspiring win. yes, i think the cricket _ staring, inspiring win. yes, i think the cricket we - staring, inspiring win. yes, i think the cricket we have - think the cricket we have played in the whole tournament so far, i think we deserved to be in the semis, and the way everyone took the responsibility of getting into the game and performing best for the team. so i don't know how i can describe my feeling, but yes, it is a massive achievement for us as a team and a nation. he achievement for us as a team and a nation.— and a nation. he is the reaction _ and a nation. he is the reaction in _ and a nation. he is the | reaction in afghanistan. and a nation. he is the - reaction in afghanistan. the national team is based in the uae, but the significance is felt here. this man describe hisjoy this man describe his joy that for the first time afghanistan

have reached the world semifinals after beating bangladesh. we are very proud, he says. the cricket gave afghans a great deal of happiness. well, that is clear, but do you see any women here? when the taliban returned to power, afghanistan's women's power, afg hanistan's women's cricket power, afghanistan's women's cricket is fled for their lives. cricket allows the men's team to achieve all theirs. the absence of women's cricket in afghanistan is a clear breach of the sport's own rules. progress, even this progress, comes in that context. joe wilson for bbc news. rugby union next, and england head to new zealand this week, and arguably the toughest challenge in world rugby, they have never won a series against the all blacks in new zealand, and it's been over 20 years since they won a test there. they play in dunedin on the 6th ofjuly and in auckland a week later. if we arejust in if we are just in all of what the all blacks are we're not going to be on the right headspace to go out and beat

them and that is our intention, to go over there and beat the all blacks in new zealand. we are excited to go there and try and do that. we have so much respect for what they do. at the same time, we can't sit back and paid too much respect for that. we have to go and make sure we assert ourselves in the way we want to. and if you want more sports news, why not head over to the bbc sport website sport app? until next time — thanks for watching. see you again soon. hello, there. scotla nd scotland and northern ireland saw the warmest day of the year so far. seven celsius in parts

of aberdeenshire but compare that to tuesday afternoon's temperatures within the same areas, just 12, 13 celsius again for eastern scotland, so quite the drop there, and that cooling drop will continue from the north and the west, as we head through the next couple of days or so. some showers around at times, the heat and humidity last longest across england and wales but again that will be gone by the time we get to the end of the day on thursday, and you can just see this cooler feeling air on wednesday shown in lighter colours, that will threaten its way further southwards and eastwards. quite a muqqy' southwards and eastwards. quite a muggy, warm start on wednesday morning for most of us. we will have seen plenty of low cloud rolling into north sea facing coasts, that's running back towards the coast as we head through the afternoon, so burning back. sunshine and showers for scotland. a fine day for most in northern ireland, closing over later, of course we keep the heat and humidity, the sunshine across much of england and wales, temperatures in the mid to high 20s, locally

perhaps 30 degrees. but here's our cold front is trailing down from this area of low pressure that will bring the fresh feeling air for all, that will bring the fresh feeling airfor all, and that will bring the fresh feeling air for all, and that will be pushing further eastwards, as we head through thursday. ratherwindy thursday. rather windy conditions for thursday. ratherwindy conditions for much of the day across scotland and far north island —— for northern ireland. it will take most of the day for that cooler feeling air to filter into south—east england and east anglia, so temperatures here probably still in the mid 20s, at least. but that cold front pushes further eastwards to the near continent. low pressure remains across the far north of the uk, so across northern areas of scotland, we are likely to see some further outbreaks of rain as we had through friday, a much fresher feel through the course of the morning. if you showers out to the north and the west but further south, it is looking largely dry and there still will be some sunshine around as well. and of course it is still warm in the sunshine at this time of year, so it will help to lift the temperature somewhat. but generally the high teens, the

low 20s in celsius, much closer now to the seasonal average. into the weekend, and not a lot is set to change, but these weather fronts could just start to graze central areas of the uk, bringing some outbreaks of rain perhaps across northern ireland, northern wales and into northern england for a time. to the north of that front, we are likely to see a few showers but some sunny spells to the south is probably looking mostly dry, and again sunshine will help to boost the temperature somewhat. the low 20s temperature somewhat. the low 205 i temperature somewhat. the low 20s i think for many towards the south, and coolerfurther north, and it is the same sort of thing on sunday, really. low pressure still towards the north, so some showers here, but largely dry further south and of course there will be some sunny spells around, as well. generally, temperatures between 16 and 23 celsius, north to south. let's take a look at the following week, then. we've still got these westerly winds, so the air won't be particularly warm, still rather unsettled too, with areas of low pressure moving in from the north and the west so tending to be wet in the north—west and a little

dried towards the south and east. we could perhaps seven areas see a lot of dry weather as we had through the week. there will be some sunshine and at times but always watch out for some showers. temperatures, of course, much lower than they were to start the week. bye—bye for now.

live from washington, this is bbc news. julian assange appears in court on a remote us territory and pleads guilty to an espionage charge. dramatic images in kenya. at least five people were killed during protest over a controversial tax bill. and the us surgeon general declares gun violence a public health crisis. hello. welcome to bbc news.

i'm sumi somaskanda. after a 1a—year legal battle, the founder of wikileaks, julian assange, is now one step closer to becoming a free man. in the past few hours, mr assange arrived at a court in a remote us territory in the western pacific after being released from a british prison. there he pleaded guilty to a single charge of espionage, as part of a deal with us authorities to secure his release, allowing him to return to his native australia. the 52—year—old was charged by us officials in 2010 for leaking a vast amount of secret us military information from the wars in iraq and afghanistan. here's his wife stella assange, reacting to the news of her husband's release. when we met, he was under house arrest, it will be the first time that i get to see him as a fully free man and i was just, when i was speaking to him, said, well, we can walk, go for a walk and they will be no restrictions, no curfew, all this is so alien.
