club at the beginning on day one of the wimbledon championships. everybody here is just about catching their breath, because in the last few moments, emma raducanu has done it, she missed last year's championships with wrist and ankle surgeries. the year before that she found yourself going out in the third round —— second round. she is safely through. was of andy murray? will he be there? more on him to come. today started with seven british players hoping to progress to the second round and with the story of the day so far, drew savage reports. so much to see on the first day at wimbledon, seven out of the 19th british men and women in first—round action were playing today. those on court 18 got to see the first. heather watson is 32. she has had back problems of late and struggled with her second serve against greet minnen. watson has loved playing at wimbledon. eight years ago she won the mixed doubles here. but on world
6:35 pm
drinking alone the belgian was the favoured and justify that tag. charlie broome was making his wimbledon debut at the age of 26 against something of a legend. he was a break—up in the second set against stanislas wawrinka, but the oldest player in the men's singles has three grand slam to his name and used all his experience, winning the big points when it counted to come through in straight sets. on court 16, 21—year—old arthur fery was very much worth watching. 11 days ago he was playing a challenger tournament, and here he was going two have in one up against it established top 100 player. grand slam tennyson flavour —— tennis is played over five sets. daniel l meyer came back to win last to stop so to emma raducanu. stepping out into the limelight. back on centre court,
6:36 pm
centre stage. raducanu had the backing of the wimbledon crowd but ekaterina alexandrova is blazing something of a trail for mixing women's tennis, just inside the top 100, coming from behind to tie—break. —— but renata zarazua is blazing. which raducanu dominated. she had six set points and only needed one of them. the second set seemed comparatively street forward. raducanu was always ahead, she got that crucial break of serve, her path to the second round opened up. just a question of serving out the match. and centre court got what he wanted. this first british victory of the day, and after all the injury problems, a smile on emma raducanu's face. drew savage, bbc news. and so emma raducanu in the end got thatjob done, i enjoyed by the king, captain, the former british
6:37 pm
number one. we were so busy watching that second set, just about got here on time, just to put that out there on the record, but we are here and we are catching our breath, and emma raducanu, that is a significant moment for her, especially bearing in mind she started today thinking she was going to play someone else? gap. it's never easy. you feel like itjust kind of disruption or rhythm a little bit. last night you have gone through the game plan on how to play ekaterina alexandrova with her team and in this morning she prepared, she would have still been thinking ekaterina alexandrova, but renata zarazua is a tough competitor, emma's performance was scrappy at times, but she was nervous, as you would expect because she was not here last year. this tournament means so much to her but she played a fantastic tie—break in the opening set and once she got that under her belt she was able to free up a little bit. they're still more to come from her. i think today after today, a huge sigh of relief,

weeks, so he did not come into this year's championships fully prepared oras year's championships fully prepared or as well as he would have liked, but he put up a good fight, managed to take a set off the dutch man, but it was again always going to be a tough ask give any preparation he had coming into this tournament. good news for lily miyazaki, she is through. i want to talk about the night you were on for the dvc, on commentary, and naomi osaka seeing off diane parry. hard to believe he was five years since osaka was last year. how impressed were you with her today? i year. how impressed were you with her toda ? ., , year. how impressed were you with hertoda ? , ,, her today? i was impressed with the start. she started _ her today? i was impressed with the start. she started like _ her today? i was impressed with the start. she started like a _ her today? i was impressed with the start. she started like a steam - start. she started like a steam train. she wrapped up that percent in 22 minutes, but there was a bit of a let down in the second, diane parry got back into the match and it was a real topsy—turvy affair. for the frenchwoman, unfortunate it was her serve that let her down, three double faults in that last game, but it is fantastic to see name osaka

to cue, my first time here, and it has not rained! i have probably jinxed it. place to going on on the outside courts. a few more stories to share with you, but for now, back to share with you, but for now, back to cu faras. many thanks. ——' many thanks. —— ' hugh ferris. away from wimbledon, the dust is still settling on an ultimately successful but still unconvincing england performance at the european championship. late goals from jude bellingham and harry kane meant they woke up today with a quarterfinal with switzerland on saturday awaiting them, but still a lot of questions too. our reporter alex howell is with the england camp today in erfurt. alex, some of those questions surround bellingham and what happened after the goal keith gordon? ., �* , happened after the goal keith gordon? . �*, .,, happened after the goal keith gordon? . �*, ., happened after the goal keith gordon? . �* , ., ., gordon? that's right most of uefa have opened _ gordon? that's right most of uefa have opened an _ gordon? that's right most of uefa have opened an investigation - gordon? that's right most of uefa have opened an investigation into| have opened an investigation into jude bellingham, specifically the ethics and disciplinary inspector for what they call a potential
6:44 pm
violation of the basic rules of decent conduct. so basically, that's the celebration bellingham did after he scored that overhead kick which took the game to extra time. he has done it before, something similar, for real madrid also england in march and he actually interact with a post on social media, saying it was not towards the slovakian team but it was an inside joke between close friends, but if he is found guilty, he could face a suspension, fine or both. that to come, no doubt, with questions very much around his participation, should the answer come back before the end of the tournament, but questions i mentioned about the way that england played, if not necessarily about the squad itself being galvanised by what they achieve last night? definitely, and i was at training today, got to see the players out on the pitch, and the mood was good. there was some fa staff backroom members saying they thought their
6:45 pm
trip was going to be over before that goal went in an the 95th minute. there weren't too many of the players out on the pitch images nine outfield players and only conor gallagher who played in that game last night, but we did get to speak to england goalkeeperjordan pickford, and i asked him what it was like, what the message was inside the cheney room after that dramatic win. —— in the changing room. to be fair, it was about getting over the line and showing that resilience and that mentality i keep digging about. that is tournament football. this is my fourth major now, so you learn a lot from the past. and i think that is what we can take into these next games. that was jordan pickford, that wasjordan pickford, speaking about the next game, and although there were not many of those players on the pitch of there could be potentially a couple of those starting in that next game stop england centre back marc guehi picked up his second elkhart of the tournament, so he will not be
6:46 pm
available, so could mean one of ezri konsa, lewis dunk orjoe gomez coming, and also luke shaw continues to build his fitness up. he has not featured for england in this tournament, has not played for manchester united since february, but it gives gareth southgate to —— make ahead of that quarterfinal. big decisions indeed. alex howell in erfurt, thank you very much indeed. two teams that were expected to win their groups but didn't are playing each other in the last 16 of the european championship. their surprising finish in the previous stage is why france and belgium are meeting this early in the knockout rounds. with five minutes to go, it looked like france have found a winner in dusseldorf. the substitute rental: milani, it has been given as eight younger tongan own goal. the french side potentially looking to book a quarterfinal onto portugal or slovenia who meet a little bit later on, there were only a few minutes
6:47 pm
left —— randal kolo muani the substitute. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. in the copa america, venezuela beatjamaica 3—0 to finish top of group b and set up a quarterfinal with canada, while ecuador drew 0—0 with mexico to finish second and play defending champions argentina in the quarters. england's mary earps has become the highest paid women's goalkeeper in world football — after her move to paris saint—germain was confirmed. she was a free agent after leaving manchester united when he contract expired this summer. aston villa have completed the signing of ross barkley from luton town for an undisclosed fee. villa have also signed thejuventus pair of samuel iling—junior and enzo barrenechea from juventus, a day after douglas luiz signed forjuventus from villa. and brentford have completed a club—record £30 million move to sign striker igor thiago from club brugge. he becomes brentford's first brazilian player and joins after agreeing the move in february ahead of the summer.
6:48 pm
staying with the premier league, and new west ham manager julen lopetegui insists they will stick by lucas paqueta after he was charged with spot—fixing offences in four separate matches. paqueta has denied the charge. we know that he and his family... in this moment. but i like when i see him in the last match smiling, because he is enjoying to play football, he plays very well football, he plays very well football, and only to say we are his family. he has his family here in england, our club is his family. of course, we are waiting and looking to see him in the pitch playing with
6:49 pm
us. stage three of the tour de france was the longest of this year's race, and the riders certainly took it easy on the first part of the 230 kilometres into turin. when the pace finally picked up, it was biniam germai who crossed the line first — the eritrean taking the bunch sprint ahead of fernando gaviria and arnaud de lee, becoming the first black african to claim a stage win at the race. ecuadorian richard carapaz took the overall leader's yellowjersey from overnight leader tadej pogacar. james anderson will take up a role as bowling mentor in the england set up when he retires from test cricket next week. the 41—year—old is the most successful pace bowler in the history of test cricket and will end his international playing career following the first test against against west indies after england told him they want to move on. anderson is currently playing county cricket with lancashire, although he hasn't bowled yet after day two of their match was washed out. when we spoke tojimmy initially, we did not say, this is what you are going to have to do, we gave him the
6:50 pm
option. it is something he is keen to do as well for some as we speak, and he has not done loads and loads of it, but he has got, what, no question about his knowledge and experience within bowling, and it's been something that when we asked him, he was keen to do. and then we have got a great opportunity in the rest of the summer to find outjust how much he enjoys it or doesn't enjoy it, really. someone likejimmy anderson, i think, enjoy it, really. someone likejimmy anderson, ithink, is enjoy it, really. someone likejimmy anderson, i think, is going to have lots of options for and was tricky would be lucky if he stays in our game. —— english cricket would be lucky if he stays in our game. nine more athletes had their places confirmed for the paris olympics today, with team gb naming those who'll compete in the skateboarding and archery. more details on who is making the teams on our bbc support website. the taekwondo team will be without three—time world champion bianca cook, who says she's "devastated" after being overlooked. despite claiming bronze at the last two olympics,
6:51 pm
emerging talent rebecca mcgowan was revealed as britain's heavyweight fighter for paris. cook had requested a fight—off against her rival but said no. cook has spoken exclusively to nick hope. commentator: bianca walton wins the gold, l the three—time world champion. under her maiden name, she became the most successful heavyweight tae kwon do fighter in british history. but bianca cook will not add to her record medal hall this summer. —— but bianca cook will not add to her record —— medal haul this summer. i'm just absolutely devastated. i didn't think it was ever going to be like this. i was always going for my last olympics in paris and everyone knows how i always wanted to turn them two medals that i have into a shiny, nice gold one. and i'm grieving a little bit. it's like a loss that i didn't think that i would ever feel. gb taekwondo selectors opted for rival rebecca mcgowan, who actually attained the women's heavyweight place for team gb at paris 2024 via her world ranking of fourth last year.
6:52 pm
cook had slipped from first to seventh at that stage after a prolonged absence through injury. do you feel that you're in a physical position to go there and challenge? yeah. like, i always believe in myself. with fighting as well, it's about that one day, it's about mentally how tough you are, and i thought i deserved a fight—off for the chance to be selected. the history that i've done for the sport, obviously the weight that i'm in, i dominated for a long time, for a lot of years, and unfortunately i didn't get that opportunity and it feels like it's been cut too short. in a statement, gb taekwondo has told the bbc cook was not denied a fight—off, but they believed that the selection process could be concluded without the need for one. it adds, "the olympic selection panel felt confident rebecca mcgowan was in a better position
6:53 pm
than bianca cook to contribute to winning the best set of medals for team gb." shock selections are nothing new to the cook family, though. her husband, aaron, was controversially overlooked for london 2012. it's, like, opened a can of worms. it wasn't just about him, it was about me as well, who's his wife now. so...i'm getting, actually, more upset about that. but i am not a bitter person. i wish everyone from team gb teakwondo all the best in the upcoming olympics. obviously, i wish i was there, but i genuinely mean it and i hope they go out there and absolutely smash it because it is a sport that i'm proud to be a part of. that's the kind of person and character that i am. bianca cook speaking to nick hope. another selection controversy. and athlete alastair chalmers has said yesterday transformed from being "the worst day"
6:54 pm
of his life to "the best". the favourite and defending champion from guernsey was competing in the olympic 400 metres hurdles qualifiers in manchester and was initially disqualified for a false start, but almost two hours later, officials upheld his appeal after they agreed with chalmers�* claims of noise at the start line. he ran a personal best to win a fifth consecutive british title and qualify for the paris olympics. talking about paris, they will be pretty happy at the moment because france have made it through to the quarterfinals of euro 202a. he finished 1—0 against belgium. it has been credited to an known goal, but perhaps randal kolo muani will be happy to accept that winning goal for france —— and own goal. the last 16 tomorrow moves into its final day. we have had the first day of wimbledon, so why don't we spend the rest of the programme in the company of captain —— of chetan?
6:55 pm

6:56 pm
out and women to last year. he has become world number one, won the australian open, been the most informative player this year. he is playing yannick handfmann and you can see him a game away from taking the second set if he can do it. to contenders here trying to win wimbledon for the first time. this is what our president last year, battling through the first round, and he got and went all the way. tomorrow, they were so much to come. all the uncertainty around andy murray. we should have some liberty. he looks to say farewell in the singles at least to the all in club. we should see the british men's number one jack the ripper playing. we should see novak djokovic trying to win ae record equalling eight when would entitle. we will see iga swiatek too. but that is a wrap from day one at wimbledon from me and the team. good night.
6:57 pm
hello there. we've seen a good deal of cloud heading our way today, bringing with it some rain here and there as well. and, really, through the rest of this week, it's very changeable. not particularly what we'd expect at this time of the year — cloud, some rain at times, mainly in the west, a cooler breeze keeping temperatures below average as well. and it's notjust on the cooler side here in the uk. you can see from the temperature anomaly map, we've got the cooler blues across many parts of europe. the hotter weather is more across eastern areas and temperatures may build a bit across iberia. but our weather is going to be coming in from the atlantic, which is why western areas will see most of the rain. we've had this band of cloud here on this weather front. it's been taking some rain eastwards today, mainly affecting the northern half of the uk. that weather front will be weakening overnight tonight, taking some thicker cloud, more across eastern and for a while southern parts of england, with a little rain here and there but not very much. clearer skies will follow towards the north—west,
6:58 pm
in scotland and northern ireland, and here, we could see temperatures perhaps in rural areas as low as seven or eight degrees. temperatures will be higher where we've got that cloud across eastern parts of england. in the morning, it could still produce a little light rain or drizzle here and there. elsewhere, there'll be some sunshine for a while, cloud will bubble up. we'll see more showers breaking out across the northern half of the uk, perhaps merging into longer spells of rain in the afternoon in western scotland and later into northern ireland. and that will limit the temperatures here to around about 16 degrees, but could make 20 again across southern england and south wales. and it shouldn't feel too bad here. but we've got more weather systems coming in from the atlantic overnight and into wednesday, stronger winds behind that as well. now, that's going to leave us with quite a messy picture, i think, on wednesday — a lot of cloud, some rain from time to time, nothing particularly heavy or prolonged. and for scotland and northern ireland, it'll be followed by some sunshine and some showers as well. and again, those temperatures reaching 16, 17, possibly 18 degrees. but that's a little below average, certainly for this time of the year.
6:59 pm
low pressure running to the north of the uk will bring some stronger winds on thursday. the next system may well bring some rain into england and wales, the southern half of the uk. the position of that rain could change, but essentially, through the week, it's still rather mixed weather. temperatures are disappointing for the time of year. there'll be some sunshine in between the cloud and the rain.
7:00 pm
hi there — i'm azadeh. hello — i'm calum. the general election is less than 72 hours away. and if this is the first election you're voting in, stick with us — we'll bring you the key things you need to know and answer your questions. it's just gone 7 o'clock — and we're live across bbc news's socials, bbc three and the bbc news channel. so, in just three days, your vote, along with millions of others, will decide which political party gets to govern. and that political party's leader will become prime minister, and they'll get to move into number 10 downing street. but rather than you directly voting for who you think should be pm, you'll be voting to choose your local mp. there are 650 across the uk. the party with the most mps gets
7:01 pm
to make their leader the pm.
