quite clear in their statements every time there has been an england game that the fans have been well behaved and there has been very little trouble and we saw one man being arrested in an england shirt a few hours before kick off but we weren't sure what was happening and certainly that hasn't been the 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. sarah rainsford there. stephen wall is a big england fan. so much so that when mum claire took their children out one day, stephen decorated his entire front room with england shirts. his son, hugo, loves it, his daughter florence, not so much. let's speak to stephen wall and his family of england fans to get their reaction. hello, everybody! hello! what was our hello, everybody! hello! what was your reaction _ hello, everybody! hello! what was your reaction during _ hello, everybody! hello! what was your reaction during the _ hello, everybody! hello! what was your reaction during the penalties? just nerves and it is a good job my wife is a nurse because my wife was __ my wife is a nurse because my wife was —— my heart was absolutely racing and i was a bag of nerves and when that last penalty went in the whole house went up, it was amazing. how

it's been another rain—affected day at wimbledon where arguably the biggest story was the late withdrawal of emma raducanu from the mixed doubles meaning that andy murray has played his final match at wimbledon. novak djokovic is very much 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 and is now two sets to one up. it is 4-4 it is 4—1; in the fourth set. 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 0stapenko next. last year's runner—up, ons jabeur was also knocked out, beaten by elina svitolina.

thanks so much, lizzie, we will see you throughout the evening with more from the euros but let's bring you back to the political drama that we have had today, or maybe not so much drama for sir keir starmer who did hold his first news conference and his first cabinet meeting. the development we had to bring you from the last few minutes or so it was that we had some more ministerial appointments and with me now is gary donohue. irate appointments and with me now is gary donohue. ~ . , . appointments and with me now is gary donohue. ~ ., , ., ., donohue. we are starting to get some of these ministers _ donohue. we are starting to get some of these ministers of _ donohue. we are starting to get some of these ministers of state, _ donohue. we are starting to get some of these ministers of state, the i of these ministers of state, the second level below the cabinets, importantjobs but not within the cabinet itself and some interesting names coming up here. jacqui smith, if you remember the tony blair and gordon brown government, she was the first everfemale home gordon brown government, she was the first ever female home secretary and left parliament in 2010 and went off into a broadcasting career and has been made a life peer in order to become an education minister and this suggests you want some of that old governing experience back and
9:13 pm
also douglas alexander left parliament in 2015 and he was another key member of the blair, brown years, the governing years up to 2010 and has been brought back as a business minister and a couple of other names, danjarvis has been brought back and ellie reeves, we know she is rachel reeves' sister, she has been brought in. yes. know she is rachel reeves' sister, she has been brought in.— she has been brought in. yes, the minister of— she has been brought in. yes, the minister of state _ she has been brought in. yes, the minister of state in _ she has been brought in. yes, the minister of state in the _ she has been brought in. yes, the minister of state in the cabinet i minister of state in the cabinet office and stay with us because we will be looking at what else is coming in the in tray for the prime minister. there was the first day at school vibe in downing this morning. is it good to be back? and excitement and pride from those now at the top of government. heading in for a cabinet meeting.
9:14 pm
levity, yes, but a sense of gravity and all this too. it was the honour and privilege of my life to be invited by his majesty the king yesterday to form a government. so what do you want from the new government? here are some folk in bury, in greater manchester. honesty. plain and simple honesty. i'd like every politician to do a professionaljob. priorities need to be - a massive increase in budgets and that is throughout . all the education sector. more focus on our borders, border control, another system, disabled people, i work with disabled adults. levelling up for the north. we are fed up of our tired trains. at lunchtime, a news conference from the new prime minister. good afternoon and thank you very much for coming.
9:15 pm
yesterday, the work of change began. we're a changed labour party and yesterday we started the work of changing the country. you said the change can't be delivered by flicking a switch but plenty of people might want lots of switches flicked pretty quickly. i wonder how soon you can start delivering concrete change. i'm restless for change and i think and hope that what you have already seen demonstrates that. not least the appointment yesterday of patrick vallance and james timpson, two individuals who are associated with change and delivery. sir patrick vallance used to be the government's chief scientific adviser. james timpson of the high street key cutting business is known for hiring ex—offenders and had this to say recently on those who end up injail. we have 85,000 people in prison, it will go up to 100,000 pretty soon. one third of them should definitely be there.
9:16 pm
there is another third in the middle which probably shouldn't be there but they need some other kind of state support, many of them with massive mental health issues, been in and out of prison all their lives. another third, a large proportion of women, prison is a disaster for them. the prime minister didn't endorse these words explicitly but didn't distance himself from the sentiment either. we need to get away from the fact that for so many people out of prison, they are back in prison relatively quickly afterwards. that is a massive problem and that is why i was very pleased to putjames into post, someone who hasn'tjust talked the talk but also walked the walk. meanwhile, conservatives are pondering what the future looks like this weekend and a recurring question. will you be the next tory party leader? no announcements, . we're taking ourtime.
9:17 pm
it has been a really bad result. there is no two ways about it. back in number ten, that sense of novelty. have you unpacked yer and found your way around? i've got a basic understanding of the rooms i've used so far here and that's good but there are plenty of hidden places i have yet to discover and no, we're not unpacked quite yet but will be soon and will be moving in soon. and never mind filling the sock drawer and finding the garden, there's a football match to think about. gary is still with me now. chris just reflecting their on the fact that the new prime minister hasn't unpacked and i'm sure he hasn't had time in the last few hours and i'm sure he has been watching the match and he has had a busy schedule and is a big football fan as well. what is a big football fan as well. what is up next for sir keir starmer? he will is up next for sir keir starmer? he: will complete his government as we have seen this evening with some more ministerial appointments and then he is heading to work for a big
9:18 pm
tour of the nations of the uk, up to scotland where labour did so well getting those seats back the use to hold in scotland, over to northern ireland and wales and back to england and then later on tuesday, it is his first big international trip to the nato meeting in washington and really i think to try and cement what is, after all, britain's most important international relationship, to find a way of working with the buy white house but also to think about what could happen in four months' time if donald trump wins the presidency. —— thejoe biden white house. in donald trump wins the presidency. -- the joe biden white house.— the joe biden white house. in terms of ukraine? — the joe biden white house. in terms of ukraine? i— the joe biden white house. in terms of ukraine? i think _ the joe biden white house. in terms of ukraine? i think he _ the joe biden white house. in terms of ukraine? i think he is _ the joe biden white house. in terms of ukraine? i think he is reiterated l of ukraine? i think he is reiterated that today and _ of ukraine? i think he is reiterated that today and there _ of ukraine? i think he is reiterated that today and there was - of ukraine? i think he is reiterated that today and there was very i of ukraine? i think he is reiterated| that today and there was very little daylight between labour and the proceeding government in terms of ukraine but the question is where the money will come from and they are committed to 2.5% of national

9:22 pm
good to see we're at 40% of women in the house and i do think it will have a really positive impact on legislation and it is good to have women around the table when you are drafting legislation on a lot of issues that have been in the shadows for a long time that are disproportionately affecting women will actually be able to come out into the open so things like affordable childcare in the nhs and aduu affordable childcare in the nhs and adult social care which we are disproportionately women work and pay and conditions are important in that and things like education, a lot of women take the brunt of the mental admen around their children's schooling and things like mental health will come to the fore and thatis health will come to the fore and that is a good thing and in the corporate world it is shown that having women around the table is better outcome so it is a win, win situation. �* g , , , , ., , situation. and jess phillips has soken a situation. and jess phillips has spoken a lot —

9:28 pm
and eastern areas, but as we head into part two of the weekend it is going to be a similar story, starting off with sunny spells and then showers will develop. some of them could be heavy and thundery through the afternoon. it's all courtesy of this area of low pressure, which has brought wet and windy weather to southern and eastern areas. that's continuing to push off into the north sea as we head through this evening and overnight. many of the showers fade away tonight, clearerskies. but showers will return across southern and western areas during the early hours. so, where we have clear skies, temperatures in single digits. 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 morning 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's 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. monday, this is a bit pessimistic. it will start dry with plenty
9:29 pm
of sunshine, before cloud thickens up later in the day with some patchy rain. so, as we head three sunday night, most of the showers fade away, with a slightly cooler air mass in place, light winds, clear skies. it's going to turn quite chilly with temperatures widespread into single digits. 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 into 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've 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, it looks like it should be dry with quite a bit of sunshine around.

9:32 pm
cheering england fans go wild as gareth southgate's men beat switzerland on penalities to make it through to the last four of the euros in germany. keir starmer holds his first news conference as prime minister — saying tough decisions need to be made soon. he confirms he'll ditch the previous government's plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda. the gaza health ministry says at least 16 people have been killed and dozens injured in an air strike on a school sheltering displaced people in nuseirat in central gaza. the israeli army says it was targeting militants in the area. the winner of iran's presidential election, masoud pezeshkian, tells supporters their votes have given hope to a dissatisfied society. mr pezeshkian, a reformist, defeated his hardline conservative opponent by a comfortable margin on friday. hello, i'm martine croxall — let's go back to downing street and my colleague, lucy hockings.
9:33 pm
welcome back to downing street, where it's been a busy day for the new prime minister keir starmer. we saw an early goal from turkey in the other_ we saw an early goal from turkey in the other quarterfinal of the day against — the other quarterfinal of the day against the netherlands. but the netherlands _ against the netherlands. but the netherlands have _ against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just _ against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. against the netherlands. but the i netherlands have just equalised. so against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. so they against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. so they are against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. so they are drawn against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. so they are drawn now against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. so they are drawn now at against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. so they are drawn now at 1—1. against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. so they are drawn now at 1—1. if against the netherlands. but the netherlands have just equalised. so they are drawn now at 1—1. if this goes to extra time, that will be a clean sweep, that means every quarterfinal will have gone to extra time. very tense for all of the fans watching right across europe. we will keep you up—to—date from that match which is happening in berlin. let's return here to downing street. keir starmer has continued to make a number of ministerial appointments after they were's landslide victory. many of the smaller parties have been celebrating electoral success, including the green party, which saw its number of mps
9:34 pm
increase from one to four. the party held on to brighton pavilion and won in bristol central, north herefordshire and in waveney valley — from where alex dunlop reports. adrian ramsay has just made history. the eastern region's first green member of parliament. it's such an exciting morning! and hasn't it been a great campaign to be part of? so what do voters here make of their new mp? very excited. did you vote green? idid indeed. i voted labour, but i do wish i'd voted green. oh, why�*s that? i think it's great that they've got in here. i really do think it's a good idea. even though you voted labour? yeah. you voted green? yes.
9:35 pm
what made you do that? because i think we need around this area. as votes were counted in the new waveney valley seat, early talk was that it could be tight, but a glance at the green piles rising above the blue ones gave a hint of what was to come. adrian philip ramsey, the green party, 20,467. you're not going to be a green flash in the pan. you really think you'll build on this? it's 20 years since we won our first green councillors in suffolk and norfolk. we've built on that year. one year since then, east anglia is leading the way. so it's about consistent growth that the green party has got. even as a teenage schoolboy, adrian ramsay bared his political teeth challenging a former home secretary. a brilliant, pragmatic new form of politics to fit the global society of the 21st century for everyone's benefit. he went on to become a norwich city green councillor at just 21, before tilting for parliament twice in 2005 and 2010. today, third time lucky for the co—leader of the green party. one reason why the greens did so well is that they have dozens of local councillors and they control mid suffolk council, and that in turn means that they can call on an army of volunteers to knock on doors
9:36 pm
and get out the vote. in fact, not lost on the defeated conservative candidate. we saw the huge amount of resources the greens were pouring into the seat. _ sometimes my five or six volunteers against 100, 150 of them, _ huge amount of natural resource poured in. i frankly, we couldn't- compete on the doorstep. but watching mr ramsay on walkabout today, it appears many here did want a change from blue to green. the question is, will this be a political interregnum or will this green king enjoy a long reign? alex dunlop, bbc news. one of the four seats won by the greens was the seat of north herefordshire where they overturned a majority of over 25,000 from the conservatives who had held the seat since 2001. ellie chowns is the new mp there. shejoined me earlier and told me more about how she achieved her victory and what role farmers played in it. yes, it is a big swing, isn't it? and we had been working really, really hard for that for many years,
9:37 pm
building the strength of green support within herefordshire — and particularly north herefordshire. and your question particularly about farmers — i mean, farming is obviously a super—important part of our economy, our culture here in north herefordshire. i live on a farm myself. and, you know, there's sometimes a little bit of a misconception that all farmers are conservative or that there's a conflict somehow between voting green and being a farmer or being supportive of farming. and that couldn't be further from the truth. the green party absolutely recognises the importance of agriculture and, indeed, we want to see more support forfarmers. in fact, there's a really, really positive shift in the whole country — and particularly in herefordshire — towards more nature—friendly farming, sometimes called regenerative farming, away from some of the more damaging aspects of conventional farming operations. and recognising that ultimately farming and food and all of us depend on the health of the soil.
9:38 pm
so i think there's a great deal of common ground between greens and farmers. so, ellie, what will be different for your constituents now with you as their mp? well, i think it's a constituency that's had the same mp for 23 years. and i think what i've offered on the campaign trail and i will continue to offer as the mp is a very energetic, very engaged, very positive and enthusiastic and community—rooted approach to being the mp. so i think people can look forward to being represented in a more energetic way, i would say, in westminster. i put that into practice right at the start. i've been out and about in my new constituency over the past couple of days. i've just been touring around the four key market towns within my constituency — just today — meeting voters and collecting casework. in fact, people already coming up to me in the street with the issues they'd like me to take forward. so i think that's hopefully
9:39 pm
going to be the key change that people will see, and it certainly seems to be very much commented on and remarked upon positively by people within north herefordshire. and briefly, ellie, how big a challenge is it going to be and how much of a commitment have you made to tackling pollution in the river wye? it's a really big challenge and it's a really big issue for me. it's one of the top three issues that i focused on my campaign that i focused on in my campaign and one of the top three issues that i'll be working on in parliament. in the river wye, the wye catchment, the key issue here is agricultural pollution, which is diffuse pollution — pollution coming off the land in all sorts of places. so we really need to work closely together with farmers to tackle that. a key factor has been the very large, over—large expansion of the industrial poultry industry within the catchment, and that's something i'm very keen to work to tackle. we need a water protection zone for the river wye and we need the environment agency to have more
9:40 pm
funding and teeth to actually enforce the pollution rules that we've got. so i look forward to working with all of the mps covering the whole catchment to push that agenda forward as soon as i hit the ground in westminster on monday. one of the big issues in the election campaign was immigration. we have some breaking news to bring you from the new government, saying that the two remaining people who have been put in detention pending removal to rwanda are going to be bailed in the coming days. the home office has revealed that a further 218 people were released on bail during the election campaign under the previous government. the home office under the conservative government had refused to confirm the number of people who were actually detained to head to rwanda in what remains unclear still is how many people are on bail in total. what we heard from keir starmer today at his very first news conference, he told journalists
9:41 pm
there that they were buying this game was dead and buried before it had even started. we can now confirm the government saying the two remaining people that had been put in detention pending removal to rwanda will be bailed in the coming days. the independent mpjeremy corbyn has called on the labour 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 bank." this would be a great start for the government. how confident are you that there will be a change
9:42 pm
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. and in your own constituency, how much of your own right election do you put down to your stance on issues like this?— you put down to your stance on issues like this? well, it is always hard to say _ issues like this? well, it is always hard to say exactly _ issues like this? well, it is always hard to say exactly what - issues like this? well, it is always hard to say exactly what it - issues like this? well, it is always hard to say exactly what it is i issues like this? well, it is always hard to say exactly what it is that| hard to say exactly what it is that motivates people to vote, and i have been the mp therefore a very long time so i know a lot of people. they are also very well aware of my stance on gaza, on palestine, on antiracism and issues of social justice. but i certainly got a lot

9:44 pm
is happening in the middle east today and rejoin martine croxall in the studio. gaza's health ministry says at least 16 people have been killed and dozens injured in an israeli air 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 near a crowded market. the israeli army says it is was targeting militants in the area and trying minimise harm to civilians. hopes had been rising in the past few days for a ceasefire that has been gaining momentum. 0ur 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
9:45 pm
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. 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.
9:46 pm
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. sebastien asher injerusalem. iran's new president, reformist masoud pezeshkian, has thanked the country's supreme 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". the run—off election was forced because no candidate secured a majority in the first round — which saw a historically low voter turnout of 40%. it was called after president ebrahim raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in may. 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
9:47 pm
and taken a great step forward. let's turn to the us — wherejoe biden has insisted he is the best person to beat donald trump in november's presidential election, despite further calls from fellow democrats for him to withdraw. in his first tv interview since his debate with mr trump, mr biden dismissed the idea that he should take a cognitive test. here's peter bowes. | mr president, do you want to talk| about your message in wisconsin? can you still beat trump? "yes," replied the president as he boarded air force one to rally democratic voters in the state of wisconsin. haunted by his disastrous debate performance against donald trump, joe biden still has to convince many of his supporters that he's fit enough to serve a second term. the crowd at this campaign rally was enthusiastic enough, but the president felt he had to say it again. "what'sjoe going to do?
9:48 pm
is he going to stay in the race?" crowd: yes! is he going to drop out? what's he going to do?" well, here's my answer — i am running and going to win again. cheering a rousing reception here, but what about the rest of the country? several members of congress, including one democratic senator, have called for the president to pull out of the race. shortly after the rally, mr biden sat down for an exclusive interview with abc news' george stephanopoulos, who pressed the president on what had gone wrong during the debate, why he'd been so exhausted. because i was sick — i was feeling terrible. matter of fact, the docs with me, i asked if they did a covid test because we were trying to figure out what was wrong. they did a test to see whether or not i had some infection, you know, a virus. i didn't, ijust had a really bad cold. and did you ever watch the debate afterwards? i don't think i did, no. the president was asked whether he'd take a cognitive test and release the results to the american people. he said it wasn't necessary. i have a cognitive test every single day. every day i have that
9:49 pm
test, everything i do. you know, not only am i campaigning, but i'm running the world. and that's not... it sounds like hyperbole, but we are the central nation in the world. madeleine albright was right. and every single day — for example, today, before i came out here, i'm on the phone with the prime minister of... i know i shouldn't get into detail, but with netanyahu, i'm on the phone with the new prime minister of england. mr biden cast doubt on the opinion polls that suggest he's trailing behind donald trump. he said he didn't think anyone was more qualified or better than him to win the race. but this interview is unlikely to silence the president's democratic critics, who want him to call it a day. peter bowes, bbc news. england have this evening secured a place in the euro semifinals, beating switzerland on penalties. after a late equaliser from bukayo saka, and a stalemate in extra time, it was five goals
9:50 pm

into party with the weekend into part two of 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 through the afternoon. it's all courtesy of this area of low pressure, which has brought wet and windy weather to southern and eastern areas. that's continuing to push off into the north sea as we head through this evening and overnight. many of the showers fade away tonight, clearerskies. but showers will return across southern and western areas during the early hours. so, where we have clear skies, temperatures in single digits. 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's 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. monday, this is a bit pessimistic.

it will start dry with plenty of sunshine before cloud thickens up later in the day with some patchy rain. so, as we had through sunday night, most of the showers fade away, with a slightly cooler air mass in place, light winds, clear skies. it's 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 into 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've 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, it looks like it should be dry
