with bars and at every single bar and restaurant here there is a huge screen and they are packed with fans and for the england game, packed with english and swiss fans, and the mood here was amazing. i mean, it was heart—stopping and terrifying and excruciating at times but in the end this entire river bank exploded with beer flying everywhere and fans on the tables singing and chanting. stephen wall is a big england fan. so much so that when his wife, 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. well earlier my colleague lucy hockings caught up with the wall family and she asked them how the family coped during the penalties. just nerves, and the only thing i can say is it is a good job my wife is a nurse because 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 absolutely amazing. how did your dog react, florence, that you are holding there? he's saying hello! he's saying hello?

what's his name? eddie! what's been the reaction to where you are sitting right now, all of those england shirts? is everyone a fan? yes. no! no, we are, yeah. we have made tonight, as always, my amazing wife, claire, hugo, and florence and my oldest brother, justin, have made an appearance today and my mother and father—in—law and two camera shy people who are my brother and sister—in—law who don't want to be on. did you have any doubts when it went to penalties or where you completely to penalties or were you completely confident in the boys and in pickford? i was absolutely confident and i think we will go on and win the whole thing. there is this different mindset now with the england players. they have a winning mentality and i know it can be frustrating

at times for fans that they don't see this attacking—style football that everyone wants, but we are getting the job done and we are winning games and we have progressed now to wednesday night where we will play either turkey or the netherlands on wednesday night and i am really excited and i really believe it will come home this time. and hugo, who is your favourite player? saka or bellingham. sa ka today, yeah. i agree with you, hugo, actually, it is a bit of a toss up but i would have to go saka's way because i am an arsenal fan. wasn't that strike tonight magnificent? it was an absolutely amazing goal and we are the opposite end — we are birmingham city fans, so bellingham has a close place in our heart but tonight it was all about bukayo saka and he kept his cool throughout and i was so pleased he's scored and i was so pleased he scored that penalty, especially after what happened in the last euros and he was just

aboslutely brilliant and a good, mature head on a young player. the third goal wall family of the west midlands and after tonight those shirts will be on the wall a bit longer. —— the wall family. england will play the netherlands in wednesday's semifinal in dortmund after they came from behind to beat turkey 2—1. two second—half goals from stefan de vri and liverpool's cody gakpo helped the dutch to victory after turkey earlier took a first half lead with samit akaidin. now to our other main story tonight. 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, after chairing his first cabinet meeting. here's our political editor chris mason. is this the day you dreamt of, deputy prime minister? - there was a first—day—at—school vibe in downing street this morning. is it quite something. to have the red folder? is it good to be back?

an excitement and pride from those now at the top of government, heading in for a cabinet meeting. levity, yes, but a sense of the gravity of 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. just plain and simple honesty. and i'd like every politician to do a professionaljob. the priorities — there needs 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 — i work with disabled adults. levelling up for the north. really, we are a bit 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. yesterday, the work of change began. we're a changed labour party and yesterday we started the work of changing the country. you've said that change can't be delivered by flicking a switch, but plenty of people might want lots of switches flicked pretty quickly. and so i wonder how soon you can actually 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 and

shoe—mending 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. a third of them should definitely be there. there is another third in the middle which probably shouldn't be there but they need some other kind of state support, a lot of them have massive mental health issues, they've 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 his minister's words explicitly but didn't distance himself from the sentiment either. the prison minister has huge experience here and has invested a huge amount over many years in relation to prisons, and that is why i wanted to make that appointment. we do need to be clear about the way in which we use prisons. we need to get away from the fact that for so many people that come out of prison, they are back in prison relatively quickly afterwards. that is a massive problem.

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've just got to take our time, - figure out what the situation is. are you up to the challenge? i'm sure it will be quite a difficultjob. 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 yet 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 we will be soon and we will be moving in soon. the address is very familiar but for him and for the rest of us, much that is new to get used to. chris mason, bbc news, westminster. this evening the prime minister has announced several new ministerial appointments.

the former home secretary jacqui smith has been made a life peer and has become education minister. the former cabinet minister douglas alexander has become a minister in the department for business and trade. the mp ellie reeves has been appointed minister without portfolio in the cabinet office and labour party chair. danjarvis becomes a minister of state in the home office. and bothjim macmahon and matthew pennycook have become ministers of state in the department for levelling up, housing and communities. let's speak to our correspondent gary o'donoghue who is in westminster. some very well known names in the list, really. fix, some very well known names in the list, reall . �* . some very well known names in the list, really-— list, really. a real blast from the ast and list, really. a real blast from the past and jacqui _ list, really. a real blast from the past and jacqui smith _ list, really. a real blast from the past and jacqui smith left - past and jacqui smith left parliament in 2010 and the first female home secretary and a number ofjobs including the department for

education where she is going now and she is being given a life peerage so she is being given a life peerage so she can come back and serve after being in the podcast world for a few years or so and we didn't see that one coming and douglas alexander was a stall what of the blair and brown era and various cabinetjobs that he held and he lost his seat in 2015 and has been trying to get back since for the past nine years and he has come back in scotland with labour's revival there but he has not gone straight back into the cabinets put into a minister of state role which is the second tier down below the cabinet and i think a sign that sir keir starmer ones to p"°p up sign that sir keir starmer ones to prop up some of the second tierjobs with people who have experience and there is experience in the cabinet when you look at yvette cooper, ed miliband and david lammy and people like that but perhaps at that second tear down, he wants to bring in some people who have been around the block, as it were. find people who have been around the block, as it were.— people who have been around the

block, as it were. and another thing we have learnt _ block, as it were. and another thing we have learnt tonight, _ block, as it were. and another thing we have learnt tonight, this - we have learnt tonight, this government is taking further measures to bring an end to the rwanda asylum programme. yes. measures to bring an end to the rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know— rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is _ rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is that _ rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is that there - rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is that there are - rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is that there are a i think we know is that there are a couple of people who are still in detention pending removal to rwanda under the old government's regime and we understand from home office sources that those two people will be bailed in the coming days and there were a group of people, just over a couple of hundred, were bailed before the election but there are two people still in detention who will be bailed so again, it is sort of unpicking that process, that rwanda process that we know labour promised to do, regularising the position of the people who were going to be part of that programme and putting them through the standard asylum process and potential removal process that existed before the rwanda idea came along so you can see the various building blocks of rwanda have been taken away and i think the question

will be, is there still many to be paid? how much money will they have to cough up for contracts and things like that? that are still not clear at the moment.— like that? that are still not clear at the moment. ., ~ , ., , . at the moment. thank you very much, gary donohue — at the moment. thank you very much, gary donohue in _ at the moment. thank you very much, gary donohue in westminster. - gaza's health ministry says at least 16 people have been killed and more than 50 injured in an insraeli 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 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. 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 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 a0%. 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 and taken a great step forward. joe biden has insisted he is the best person to beat donald trump in november's us 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? 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 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. more now on our top story — england have just secured a place in the euro semi—finals, beating switzerland on penalties. after a late equaliser from bukayo saka, and a stalemate in extra time, it was five goals

forfive in penalties, and victory in gareth southgate's 100th game as england manager. earlier, i spoke with football journalist frida fagerlund and expert in swiss football craig king, to talk about that result. i asked whether the england performance met their expectations. i thought england played better than what they had done previously during the tournament. at least as good as they did in the first half against serbia, in the first game, but at the same time, it wasn't the best we've seen from england. the three at the back certainly improved things, i thought, at the back certainly improved things, ithought, especially at the back certainly improved things, i thought, especially phil foden who seemed way more comfortable playing a bit more centrally and that opened up space for bukayo saka as well to thrive in, but this england team, yes, they are through to in other semifinal, it is gareth southgate's third in

four tournaments but at the same time, this wasn't the most entertaining game. iliiuiiiiii time, this wasn't the most entertaining game. time, this wasn't the most entertainin: tame. ., entertaining game. will come back to that in a moment _ entertaining game. will come back to that in a moment every _ entertaining game. will come back to that in a moment every may. - entertaining game. will come back to that in a moment every may. craig, l that in a moment every may. craig, or did you make of the match? this was unbeaten in this calendar year and really made england work for its right to the end, didn't they? —— de suisse unbeaten. right to the end, didn't they? -- de suisse unbeaten.— right to the end, didn't they? -- de suisse unbeaten. that's what they've done throughout _ suisse unbeaten. that's what they've done throughout this _ suisse unbeaten. that's what they've done throughout this tournament - suisse unbeaten. that's what they've | done throughout this tournament and they it _ done throughout this tournament and they it again here and everybody out today— they it again here and everybody out today could turn up and give a big performance but it is a sore want to take because they did absolutely everything and to lose in that fashion, _ everything and to lose in that fashion, it could appoint the other way and _ fashion, it could appoint the other way and history would have been made but ultimately it wasn't to be but they brought the country together and everyone can be proud of their performance. did and everyone can be proud of their performance-— and everyone can be proud of their performance. did you expect it to go all the way to _ performance. did you expect it to go all the way to penalties? _ performance. did you expect it to go all the way to penalties? i _ performance. did you expect it to go all the way to penalties? i thought i all the way to penalties? i thought it would be — all the way to penalties? i thought it would be a _ all the way to penalties? i thought it would be a tight _ all the way to penalties? i thought it would be a tight game _ all the way to penalties? i thought it would be a tight game and - all the way to penalties? i thought it would be a tight game and extraj it would be a tight game and extra time and _ it would be a tight game and extra time and penalties were always something that could happen but when switzerland scored there was some relief _ switzerland scored there was some relief that — switzerland scored there was some relief that they could see it out but that —

leading 2—1 against turkey and the game is almost over and it is extra time and how much do you think england would prefer to be meeting turkey rather than the netherlands? yes, i think so and i think if switzerland had gone through it would _ switzerland had gone through it would have been the ideal choice as well so _ would have been the ideal choice as well so you'd rather turkey but there _ well so you'd rather turkey but there has— well so you'd rather turkey but there has been so many surprises in this tournament so i don't think there _ this tournament so i don't think there is— this tournament so i don't think there is any easy game any more. reader, _ there is any easy game any more. reader, this— there is any easy game any more. reader, this was gareth southgate's 100 much as the national coach. how much did he need a win? if england had not won tonight, what might it have meant for him as mac it probably would have been his last game as an england manager and i think he is feeling the pressure and he definitely said so at the press conference and he got slightly annoyed when he received questions about why england aren't more entertaining and he was basically saying, i've taken this team to a

third semifinals, what more could you ask for? this is how you win tournaments. and i completely understand that style of his arguments but at the same time, people don't want to be bored for 120 minutes, they want to see entertaining football and may be england aren't to delivering that but yes, they are through to another semifinal. ., ., ,, semifinal. football “ournalists s - eakin . semifinal. football “ournalists speaking to h semifinal. football “ournalists speaking to us _ semifinal. footballjournalists speaking to us earlier - semifinal. footballjournalists speaking to us earlier there. l a quick look at the front pages of tomorrow's papers here in the uk. the observer leads with a picture of the prime minister's new cabinet, quoting him as saying, "it's time to deliver." the sunday express headlines the scrapping of the rwanda plan, saying it is "dead and buried". the mail on sunday warns that the prime minister plans on closer ties with the eu in a "retreat" of the current brexit deal. the sunday telegraph says an ally of former prime minister tony blair is being brought in

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. winds 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 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 — 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 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. but the run—up to next weekend looks like it will stay unsettled thanks to low pressure. pretty disappointing temperatures forjuly. take care.
