8:05 pm
overall mood here. it has been really good—natured and there have been swiss fans and england fans sitting side by side in all the bars and restaurants here and there has been no trouble and the city centre is of course full of these narrow streets and tall buildings and in theory it is a bit of a warren of streets with bars on every side and of course there is a lot of beer being drunk so they could potentially be trouble but it does not feel that way at all, there is not feel that way at all, there is no tension, it is excitement at the moment and enthusiasm for football and a huge amount ofjoy and relief for the england fans because i was speaking to fans before the game you were telling me they were very nervous and anxious about this game because of how england had been playing and because it means so much to english fans as it does to fans all over europe and now it is the turkish fans and the dutch who are filling up the bars here and there is a lot of bars to fill. find filling up the bars here and there is a lot of bars to fill.— is a lot of bars to fill. and u fans from all of _ is a lot of bars to fill. and u fans from all of these _ is a lot of bars to fill. and u fans from all of these different - from all of these different countries generally feel the tournament has been quite well organised and so has all the hospitality and the bars and

8:07 pm
dusseldorf don't actually have tickets and have not even try to get tickets and have not even try to get tickets because the stadium tickets are expensive, they have just tried to soak up the atmosphere in the bars and restaurants and street of the german city so a lot of people are planning on staying now for the semifinal, at the moment that vans like this did not think was coming. it's coming home! football is coming home! _ it's coming home! football is coming home! , ., ., , home! sorry for that, it is difficult — home! sorry for that, it is difficult to _ home! sorry for that, it is difficult to control - home! sorry for that, it is difficult to control what i home! sorry for that, it is - difficult to control what people say when they are so excited. find difficult to control what people say when they are so excited. and what earthly feelings _ when they are so excited. and what earthly feelings at _ when they are so excited. and what earthly feelings at the _ when they are so excited. and what earthly feelings at the moment - when they are so excited. and what earthly feelings at the moment of l earthly feelings at the moment of those german fans —— are the feelings? those german fans -- are the feelings?— those german fans -- are the feelinas? , ., , ., feelings? good question, it is of course a german _ feelings? good question, it is of course a german city _ feelings? good question, it is of course a german city and - feelings? good question, it is of course a german city and they i feelings? good question, it is of. course a german city and they were hoping they were favourites and they were doing so well and there has been quite a lot of chanting at the german team from english fans as
8:08 pm
they have gone out, chanting germany is going home and the germans have been pretty tolerant and there has certainly been no trouble but the rivalry between germany and england has deep, deep roots and it is still playing out here on the streets of germany in this tournament. great to see ou, germany in this tournament. great to see you. sarah. _ germany in this tournament. great to see you, sarah, and _ germany in this tournament. great to see you, sarah, and we _ germany in this tournament. great to see you, sarah, and we apologise - see you, sarah, and we apologise again for some of the fruity language around sarah at the moment but many excited england fans there as they are indeed here in england at the moment. and joe in wound has been with fans at a fans own in brixton. we are actors small team here at downing street on saturday night but it has been extremely tense gathering round and watching the penalties so just take is through how it has been as the penalties played out. i through how it has been as the penalties played out.— through how it has been as the penalties played out. i will start b sa in: penalties played out. i will start by saying it _ penalties played out. i will start by saying it has _ penalties played out. i will start by saying it has been _ penalties played out. i will start by saying it has been raining - penalties played out. i will start| by saying it has been raining and penalties played out. i will start -
8:09 pm
by saying it has been raining and my shirt is completely wet and the bear went in the air as the england penalties went in one after another and it was an astonishing series of penalties and getting pretty loud here at some points but i will tell you what, the mood was extraordinary, itjust erupted and it almost felt like england had won the tournament at some point. irate the tournament at some point. we seem to have lostjoe the tournament at some point. we seem to have lost joe and the tournament at some point. we seem to have lostjoe and it was difficult to hear him as well, you can hear the music, but you could see he was any drenched church because the beer went flying and we had some comments from bukayo saka, one of the main players in the tournament, of course scoring that goal to equalise with switzerland and he said he would put it up there and he said he would put it up there and it was really special how he performed and we know what happened the last time he was in a penalty shoot out and he said a chance came and i took it and i am proud of
8:10 pm
myself for that, so that is the comments from bukayo saka speaking just a few moments ago so england are through after winning the vote on penalties against switzerland and we will be back with some of the fans throughout the day and we will certainly have more on the euro is in our sports bulletin coming out in just a few minutes' time. —— against switzerland 5—3. but first here in downing street today, sir keir starmer has said his party's landslide victory in the election has provided a clear mandate for change in all four nations of the uk, but that changing the country would not be an overnight exercise. he was speaking at his first press conference as prime minister, held after chairing his first cabinet meeting. the final seat in the general election has been declared, with the liberal democrats winning inverness, skye and west ross—shire. the result was announced just a view minutes ago. the winner, the liberal democrat angus macdonald, spoke after his victory announced. spoke after his victory
8:11 pm
was announced. i worked cohesively with government ministers to get funding into the highlands and i was a hard—working mp who was always available to help. the independent mpjeremy corbyn has called on the government to suspend all arms trade to israel. he was speaking in london at a protest calling for a ceasefire in gaza. labour lost five seats to independent candidates — including jeremy corbyn — who campaigned on gaza. our reporter holly ellyatt asked mr corbyn about what he expected from the newly—elected government. the government has just had its first cabinet meeting this morning. this is a great opportunity to say, we will now demand a complete and unconditional ceasefire in gaza and we will suspend all arms trade to israel and demand the withdrawal of israel from gaza and the west
8:12 pm
bank. this would be a great start for the government. how confident are you that there will be a change in policy direction? well, i think the labour party needs to reflect very carefully on the results of this election. whilst there is a huge increase in the number of labour mps, and that obviously is very welcome, the issue is that the overall vote for the labour party barely went up on 2019 and in many constituencies, there was a substantial depression of the labour vote because of people refusing to support labour because of gaza. joining me now is independent mp for dewsbury and batley — iqbal mohamed. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news and congratulations. how much of your support came from voters who are angry and frustrated at labour�*s position on the war in gaza? goad
8:13 pm

(13mm evening, thank you very much for having me and ijust want evening, thank you very much for having me and i just want to congratulate the england team for reaching the semifinals. go england. the support for independent officials started in the may elections, where dewsbury and batley elected five independent candidates against labour, and that momentum and that distress and frustration at labour's position and also the behaviour of the tories in government regarding the atrocities in gaza did filter through into the poles. and it was across all communities. it wasn'tjust poles. and it was across all communities. it wasn't just any muslim communities. we did much door knocking on the non—muslim areas and anybody with a human heart couldn't fail to be moved by the images that are streamed live daily from gaza.
8:14 pm
mr mohammed, what is your plant now? will you join with these other independent mps, perhaps to bring forward a bill with mac independent mps, perhaps to bring forward a bill with ma- forward a bill with mac absolutely, the lan forward a bill with mac absolutely, the [an to forward a bill with mac absolutely, the plan to serve _ forward a bill with mac absolutely, the plan to serve dewsbury - forward a bill with mac absolutely, the plan to serve dewsbury and i the plan to serve dewsbury and batley is to work with any and all like—minded mps on all the policies that benefit our constituency, our country or people around the world, especially in gaza, so we will hope to work together notjust especially in gaza, so we will hope to work together not just with the independence but with like—minded mps from labour, the conservatives and other parties. find mps from labour, the conservatives and other parties.— and other parties. and what would ou call and other parties. and what would you call for — and other parties. and what would you call for in _ and other parties. and what would you call for in that _ and other parties. and what would you call for in that bill, _ and other parties. and what would you call for in that bill, mr- you call for in that bill, mr mohammed? i you call for in that bill, mr mohammed?— you call for in that bill, mr mohammed? ~ i. , , you call for in that bill, mr mohammed? ~ , , ., mohammed? i think you 'ust played a cli from mohammed? i think you 'ust played a clip from jeremy h mohammed? i think you 'ust played a clip from jeremy corbyn,j_ mohammed? i think you just played a clip from jeremy corbyn, so _ mohammed? i think you just played a clip from jeremy corbyn, so we - mohammed? i think you just played a clip from jeremy corbyn, so we need l clip from jeremy corbyn, so we need an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and an immediate opening of borders for humanitarian aid and a rebuilding programme and urgent talks to find a peaceful settlement between israel and palestine and also we should release the legal
8:15 pm
advice that was obtained by the conservative government regarding arms sales to israel and ensure that britain is fully compliant with international and british law. mr mohammed, i think we may have lost you there but thank you very much forjoining us. independent mp iqbal mohamed. as sir keir settles into his new role, his first major meeting on the international stage will come just next week, with a trip to a summit of nato leaders in washington dc. let's talk about what the prime minister and the new foreign secretary, david lammy, will be hoping to achieve with with britain's global partners. joining me now sophia gaston, head of foreign policy at policy exchange. sophia, what do you think their first priority will be? this sophia, what do you think their first priority will be?— first priority will be? as you mentioned, _ first priority will be? as you mentioned, i— first priority will be? as you mentioned, i think - first priority will be? as you mentioned, i think the - first priority will be? as you | mentioned, i think the nato first priority will be? as you - mentioned, i think the nato summit next week is the first thing in the
8:16 pm
injury. that said, david lammy has alreadyjumped on a plane and headed down to germany and he has been a meeting that with a foreign minister and that is an interesting choice as his first trip because of course it took quite a long time for rishi sunak as prime down to germany which i think had raised a few eyebrows given how important that relationship is. —— the first thing in the in tray. both the conservatives and labour promised new defence treaties in their manifesto but of course the nato summit next week, the stakes could not be higher and the situation in ukraine is at its most perilous position since the russian invasion in 2022, and of course there is the ongoing questions about the united states' future commitment to that conflict and the looming election so this summit is being held in washington there, just ahead of the republican national convention, so i
8:17 pm
think it is going to be quite a feed rail atmosphere, and it'll be a really big test for sir keir starmer to show his statesman—like chops on the world stage and whether or not he really can be helping to persuade other european allies to step up their defence spending.- their defence spending. indeed, labour their defence spending. indeed, labour had _ their defence spending. indeed, labour had committed - their defence spending. indeed, labour had committed 2.596 - their defence spending. indeed, labour had committed 2.596 but| their defence spending. indeed, - labour had committed 2.596 but they labour had committed 2.5% but they haven't put a date on that, sophia. do you think it is important that they do that to show their commitment?— they do that to show their commitment? , ~ commitment? yes, i think there will be an x of dictation _ commitment? yes, i think there will be an x of dictation that _ commitment? yes, i think there will be an x of dictation that they - commitment? yes, i think there will be an x of dictation that they start . be an x of dictation that they start to set out a road map for getting there pretty quickly —— there will be an expectation. i think it is fair to say that while the conservatives had sort ofjumped ahead on that one in terms of their commitment, some of their sons to get to that 2.5%, there were a few question marks around that so i think the question is what a credible plan looks like. —— some of the sums. and how expeditious that
8:18 pm
can be when there are such difficult domestic pressures. i think it will really be important for labour early on to get control of that narrative and stop that a zero sum framing from becoming a really live debates because the reality is we are going to need to step up. i think there are a lot of experts you would agree that even 2.5% won't be enough so the question really comes back to how you drive that growth so we have the money to spend on defence and security at a time when we really needed. ,., ., ., , ., ., , needed. good to get your thoughts, so - hia, needed. good to get your thoughts, sophia. thank— needed. good to get your thoughts, sophia, thank you _ needed. good to get your thoughts, sophia, thank you for _ needed. good to get your thoughts, sophia, thank you forjoining - needed. good to get your thoughts, sophia, thank you forjoining us. - sophia, thank you forjoining us. that is all up for an hour from downing street and we will keep across all the latest developments for you but now it is time to talk more about one of the big stories of the night and cross over to our sports centre with lizzie and i can guess what you are starting with. no offence but it is —— does not take a genius to know i'm starting with the
8:19 pm
euros but who will england play in the semifinals? the winner of this match between turkey and the netherlands will play against england and the match is currently goalless but they are playing at a frenetic pace of one feels something will happen soon at the olympic stadium there but goalless at the moment and the winner of the match will face england in the semifinals after they beat switzerland on penalties in dusseldorf. after a goalless first half, switzerland took the lead with just 15 minutes to go through breel embolo. england were heading out at that stage but five minutes later bukayo saka drew england level with a fine finish which took the match into extra time. it went to penalties and manuel akanji missed for switzerland to hand england the advantage which they never relinquished. trent alexander—arnold scored england's fifth and final penalty to seal passage into the last four. history was made at silverstone today where for the first time ever, it was a british one,
8:20 pm
two, three in qualifying for the british grand prix. george russell will start on pole ahead of lewis hamilton, and lando norris was third fastest. lewis hamilton was leading as the third and final session drew to a close. it's a venue where he's taken pole seven times and won on eight occasions. but he was pipped to pole by team—mate russell for a mercedes one—two. that is george russell. championship leader max verstappen was fourth after a mistake in the gravel. what a feeling, what a feeling. at the start of this year, i couldn't even dreamt of being on pole here so this is just mega and even dreamt of being on pole here so this isjust mega and it even dreamt of being on pole here so this is just mega and it is down to all of these fans as well who give us so much energy so thank you so much for that. it's been another rain—affected day at wimbledon where arguably the biggest story was the late withdrawal of emma raducanu match at wimbledon. novak djokovic is very much
8:21 pm
still active at this year's tournament and is in third round action against australia's alexei popyrin, although the seven—time champion isn't having things all his own way against the australian. popyrin took the first set 6—4 but the seven—time champion fought back to level the match at one set apiece. they're into the third set now. djokovic is a break up. in the women's singles, world number one iga swiatek�*s wait for a wimbledon title goes on after she was beaten by yulia putintseva. swiatek took the first set six games to three but putintseva won the next two for the loss ofjust three games to storm into the fourth round for the first time in her career. the kazakhstani player will face jelena ostapenko next. last year's runner up, ons jabeur was also knocked out, beaten by elina svitolina. biniam girmay has strengthened his grip on the sprinters�* greenjersey at the tour de france after winning stage 8. only last week, the eritrean became the first black african to win a stage at the tour and he's followed that with a second victory today, in another bunch sprint. slovenia's tadej pogacar retains
8:22 pm
the overall leader's yellowjersey. and on a busy day of rugby union internationals, england narrowly missed out on beating the all blacks in new zealand for the first time in over two decades. they lost 16—15 in dunedin. wales, meanwhile, lost 25—16 in australia to drop outside the world's top ten — and their lowest ever position in world rankings. south africa made it three wins from three for the southern hemisphere as the world champions beat ireland 27—20. france and argentina started 15 minutes ago — it's scoreless. scotland play canada later to wrap up the day's matches. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much, lizzie. gaza's health ministry says at least 16 people have been killed and dozens injured in a strike on a school sheltering displaced people in al—nuseirat in central gaza. eyewitnesses told the bbc that the strike struck the upper floors of the school
8:23 pm
near a crowded market. the israeli army says it was targeting militants in the area and trying to minimise harm to civilians. hopes had been rising in the past few days for a ceasefire that has been gaining momentum. our correspondent sebastian usher has more from jerusalem. scenes of the dead and wounded being rushed to hospital once again in gaza. this time, people are being taken from a school in the centre of gaza in a refugee camp, nuseirat refugee camp, which was hit. around 7,000 displaced people were taking refuge there. these scenes are still being repeated across the whole of gaza. up in gaza city in the north, a battle has been raging in one district there, where israeli forces have been battling against hamas and other palestinian armed factions, while right down in the south in rafah, the israeli military operation is still continuing there. and just a few days ago, to the east of khan younis, hundreds of thousands of palestinians were told that they had to evacuate.
8:24 pm
all of this shows that fighting is still continuing in gaza. it underlines the urgency, as momentum is building once again towards a resumption of ceasefire talks, and talks to finally secure the release of all remaining hostages in gaza, dead or alive. hamas gave its response to the latest proposal, which was presented by president biden several weeks ago. it appears to be a positive response. it may even have finally overcome what's been the main stumbling block, the demand by hamas that there must be a permanent ceasefire before any movement forward. we will still have to see if israel, the israeli government, can accept that and make perhaps some concession itself about its demand that it must be able to continue fighting, if necessary, after any ceasefire. sebastian usher in jerusalem. iran's new president, reformist massoud pezeshkian, has thanked the country's supreme
8:25 pm
leader for his election. in his first speech, he said if it wasn't for ayatollah ali khamenei, his name would have not so easily come out of the ballot boxes. speaking a short while ago, masoud pezeshkian hailed his victory as a step forward for the country. translation: congratulations - to the knowledgeable and dear people of iran on their victory. you have completed the work and taken a great step forward. much more on the election of a ron's new president on the bbc website and the bbc news app. stay with us here in the hours ahead, with much more reaction to england's winner against switzerland in the euros 202a. —— iran's new president. hello, there. conditions did improve somewhat through this afternoon with increasing amounts of sunshine, particularly across southern and eastern areas, but as we head
8:26 pm
into party with the weekend it is going to be a similar story, starting off on sunny spells and then showers will develop. some of them could be heavy and thundery for the afternoon. and thundery through the afternoon. it is all courtesy of this area of low pressure, which has brought wet and windy weather to southern and eastern areas. that is continuing to push off into the north sea as we head through this evening and overnight. many of the showers fade away tonight, clearerskies. the showers will return across southern and western areas during the early hours. so, where we have clear skies, temperatures in single digits and where we have more cloud, more breeze across the south with the showers, then we're looking at 10—12 c. so sunday starts off bright, brighter than what we had on saturday morning. some sunshine before showers get going late onwards, and into the afternoon these will tend to become widespread — form bands as well. and some of them could be heavy and thundery. but a few areas could escape them altogether and stay dry. wind is a bit lighter, too, so it should feel a touch warmer, but still disappointing temperatures for this time of year. mid to high teens. so sunday, then, expect a heavy shower to move through the wimbledon area.
8:27 pm
monday, this is a bit pessimistic. it will start dry, plenty of sunshine before cloud thickens up later in the day with some patchy rain. so, as we had three sunday night, most of the showers fade away, with a slightly cooler air mass in place, light winds, clear skies. it is going to turn quite chilly with temperatures widespread into single digits. even in towns and cities. out of towns, we're looking at low single figures, so a chilly start to monday. however, it will be chilly but bright. widespread sunshine around, light winds. through the day, showers will develop across central and northern areas, and then towards the end of the day this new area of low pressure will push in to the south to bring thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. so a pretty decent day, i think, before this low starts to move up from the south. we could see temperatures touching 20 degrees. that area of low pressure continues to move north across the uk during tuesday and wednesday. towards the end of the week, though, we have got high pressure toppling in from the west. that should settle things down. and i think as we head into next weekend and the following week,
8:28 pm
it looks like it should be dry with quite a bit of sunshine around. but the run—up to next weekend looks like it will stay unsettled thanks to low pressure. pretty disappointing temperatures forjuly. take care.
