11:01 pm
wire ending in a nail—biting penalty shoot—out. our sports editor dan rowen reports from the dusseldorf there was a real sense that england would have to raise their game for them to beat the best team they face to at the zeros in switzerland. many predicted a tight affair and so improved. having comparatively close to going home last weekend, could england now capitalise on their reprieve and finally flourish at the zeros. having switched formation they tried to be more positive again. switzerland, with few chances they created lead to more frustration. in a cagey first half, principal threat bukayo saka finding his team—mates before it is to make him to his rescue, this was had never gone beyond a quarterfinal in a major

tournament but was that was about to change? a stunned england heading out. suddenly behind and with a quarter of an hour left, manager gareth southgate immediately had run the changes but it was that man who had delivered when it mattered most. this, what it meant to those who feared they were going home. faced with extra time again in his 100th match in charge, southgate group on all of his experience and his team went in search of a winter. every ball closely contested. harry kane replaced after this. amid nerve shredding tension the audacious

11:07 pm
gareth southgate gets when anything with this side but now three to a third semifinal in four major tournaments. no other england boss can match that kind of consistency. yes, at times, they are laboured, but no doubt there is a resilience to his team as well and if they can beat the netherlands in the semifinal in dortmund on wednesday night, they will have the chance to play in a first ever final in a first ever overseas tournament. stephen walt is a big england fan, so much so that 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. 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. it's good that my wife is a nurse because _ just nerves. it's good that my wife is a nurse because my _ just nerves. it's good that my wife is a nurse because my heart - just nerves. it's good that my wife is a nurse because my heart was l is a nurse because my heart was racing i was a bag of nerves and

who kept his cool throughout and i was so pleased he scored that penalty is pushed up happened in the last year, i thought he was absolutely brilliant. a good mature head on a young player. england will play the netherlands in wednesday's semi—final 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 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.
11:11 pm
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? it's good to be back. an excitement and pride from those now at the top of government. heading in for a cabinet meeting. laughter 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 the king, 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 needs to be a massive increase in budgets. and that's throughout all of the education sector. more focus on our borders and border control and other systems. _ um, disabled. i work with disabled adults.
11:12 pm
levelling up for the north. really, we're 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've already seen demonstrates that. not least the appointment yesterday of patrick vallance and james timpson. two individuals who are associated with change and delivery.
11:13 pm
sir patrick vallance used to be the government's chief scientific adviser. we're addicted to punishment... 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's going to go up to 100,000 pretty soon. a third of them should definitely be there. there's 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 got mental, massive mental health issues. they've been in prison, in and out of prison, all their lives. and then there's another third, and there's 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's why i wanted to make that appointment. we do need to be clear about the way
11:14 pm
in which we use prisons. we need to get away from the fact that for so many people who come out of prison, they're 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... are you going to be the next tory party leader? no announcements. we've just got to take our time. we've got to figure out what the situation is. are you up to the challenge? i'm sure it'll be quite a difficultjob. it's been a really bad result. there's no two ways about it. back in number 10, that sense of novelty. have you unpacked yet? have you 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'm yet to discover. and no, we're not unpacked quite yet. but we will be soon and we'll 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.
11:15 pm
one of the firstjobs for any new prime minister is speaking with foreign leaders. downing street released this photo of sir keir starmer speaking to world leaders last night. and in the last few hours, sir keir posted a video on his instagram page of his first conversation with the us president, joe biden. let's take a listen. 0k, thank you. mr prime minister, congratulations, _ 0k, thank you. mr prime minister, congratulations, what _ 0k, thank you. mr prime minister, congratulations, what a _ 0k, thank you. mr prime minister, congratulations, what a hell - 0k, thank you. mr prime minister, congratulations, what a hell of - 0k, thank you. mr prime minister, congratulations, what a hell of a i congratulations, what a hell of a victory — congratulations, what a hell of a victo . . ~ congratulations, what a hell of a victo . ., ,, i. congratulations, what a hell of a victo . . ~' ~ congratulations, what a hell of a victo . . ~ , congratulations, what a hell of a victo . ., ,, ~ , ., victory. thank you mr president that has been a long _ victory. thank you mr president that has been a long night _ victory. thank you mr president that has been a long night and _ victory. thank you mr president that has been a long night and day - victory. thank you mr president that has been a long night and day i've i has been a long night and day i've been busy appointing my cabinet during the course of the afternoon so thank you very much for your congratulations and fortuitously, we will see each other next week. i'm very much looking forward to seeing

11:17 pm
in the home office. and — bothjim macmahon and matthew pennycook have become ministers of state in the department for levelling up, housing and communities. 0ur political correspondent, gary 0'donoghue gave me his reaction to the former home secretary's appointment. real bass from the plast being brought back she left parliament in 2010 a former home secretary, first female home secretary, first female home secretary —— fast from the past. holding manyjobs including in the education department putting her in the house of lords giving her a life. so that she can come back and serve after having being in the podcasting and journalism world after the last 1a years ago. quite an extraordinary moment. we did not see that one coming. douglas alexander, again, has been a stalwart of the blair— brown era, various cabinetjobs he held, left his seat in 2015 and has been trying to get ever since for the last nine years and he is compact this time in
11:18 pm
scotland with the labour revival there and has not caught streets of there and has not caught streets of the cabinet but has gone to a minister of state role which is the second tear down low the cabinet and i think it is a sign that perhaps mr keir starmer wants to prop up some of those second tierjobs with people who have some experience and there is experience in the cabinet when you look at yvette cooper and ed miliband and david lammy of people like that, but perhaps at that second tear down he wants to bring two people in who have been around the block, as it were. the other thing _ around the block, as it were. the other thing we — around the block, as it were. the other thing we have learned tonight is that this new government is taking further measures to bring an end to the rwanda asylum programme. i think what 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. we understand from home office sources the those two people 0ffice sources the those two people are going to be bailed in the coming
11:19 pm
days. there were a group of people just over 100 that were built before the election, but there were still two people in detention that will be bailed. so he is unpacking that process, the rwanda process that we note labour promise to do, regular lysing the position of people who were going to be part of that programme and putting through the standard asylum and removal process that existed before the rwanda idea came along. seek and see the various building blocks of one to have been taken away. the question i think will be, how much is still money to be paid, how much will they have to cough up for contracts and things like that. that is still not clear at the moment. the final general election result is in — and the liberal democrats have taken the seat of inverness, skye and west rosshire from the snp. angus macdonald was
11:20 pm
elected with a majority of over 2,000 votes, after several recounts — taking the total number of seats for the lib dems to 72. 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 is 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. 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 were taking refuge there. these scenes are still being repeated across the whole of gaza. up in gaza city in the north,
11:21 pm
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,
11:22 pm
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. 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 boxesh 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
11:23 pm
of iran on their victory. you have completed the work and taken a great step forward. us presidentjoe biden has insisted he is the best person to beat donald trump in november's presidential election, despite further calls from democrats for him to withdraw. in his first tv interview since the debate with mr trump, mr biden dismissed the idea that he should undergo a cognitive test. here's peter bowes. | mr president, do you want to talk| about your message in wisconsin? on a mission to prove himself, that he can still do the job of president and win the election. joe biden is in damage control mode after that disastrous debate performance against donald trump. here he is at a rally in wisconsin. again, answering the question everyone is asking. "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 the unease amongst fellow democrats in washington is palpable. five members of the house of representatives have called on mr biden to step aside.
11:24 pm
the latest to come forward is angie craig, a member from the state of minnesota. the president needs to get out there and show the american people that he's up to it. that was four days ago. now, she says he has to go. explaining in a statement that she didn't believe that the president could effectively campaign and win against donald trump. mr president, thank you for doing this. i thank you for having me. in his exclusive interview with abc's george stephanopoulos, the president again blamed his stumbling debate performance on a bad cold. 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. he said it wasn't necessary.
11:25 pm
every day i have tests, everything i do. you know, not only am i campaigning, but i'm running the world. he warned of dire consequences if donald trump were to win the election, and insisted he was the most qualified candidate to stop the former president. and if you stay in and trump i is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass. how will you feel in january? ifeel, as long as i gave it my all and i did the goodest job as i know i can do, that's what this is about. mr biden added that only the lord almighty could convince him to abandon his bid for a second term in the white house. peter bowes, bbc news. now to tennis, and andy murray's wimbledon career is over — as emma raducanu this afternoon pulled out of today's mixed doubles. joe wilson reports. all week, wimbledon has been dominated by goodwill for andy murray. tributes, thank youse, farewells, he wanted to play tennis.
11:26 pm
there was defeat in the men's doubles. i want to play forever. i love the sport. it has given me... it has given me so much. taught me loads of lessons over the years i can use in the rest of my life. but, i don't want to stop. when he left the court then we believed he would be back. he had asked emma raducanu to plate mixed doubles. she had expressed her excitement but as she continues and the women signals, she said today stiffness in her wrist would not allow her to compete in the mixed. what andy murray is left with here is the respect of everyone. even wimbledon's greatest ever meant stripping. we wimbledon's greatest ever meant stri in. ~ ., wimbledon's greatest ever meant stri--in~.~ ., . ., , stripping. we love the game equally, so much and — stripping. we love the game equally, so much and would _ stripping. we love the game equally, so much and would love _ stripping. we love the game equally, so much and would love to _ stripping. we love the game equally, so much and would love to do - stripping. we love the game equally, so much and would love to do it i so much and would love to do it foreven — so much and would love to do it forever. you said that on court and i shared _ forever. you said that on court and i shared that— forever. you said that on court and i shared that opinion completely. i think_ i shared that opinion completely. i think you — i shared that opinion completely. i think you will see once he's on the other— think you will see once he's on the other side — think you will see once he's on the other side actually what a great decision— other side actually what a great decision it probably will be for his

11:28 pm
but i think we'll see another clump working into wales and southwest england as we head into the first part of sunday. now, sunday is overall the better of the two days of the weekend, many of us will start off with some sunshine first thing in the morning — but we'll have those showers from the word go across wales and western england, and through the day, those showers push eastwards. it is always across england and wales that the heaviest downpours are likely to be, with some hail and thunder mixed in, and, to a degree, northern ireland seeing heavy downpours, too. in scotland, there will still be showers, but they perhaps won't be quite as heavy as the ones we've seen over the last 21l hours. now monday's forecast, it's another pretty unsettled day — again, starting off on a promising note, many areas will start the day dry and sunny. but showers will develop across northern areas of the uk, and it looks like we'll see another area of rain start to work into the southwest, so that could affect southwest england and parts of southern wales, as well. the area of rain is associated with this next area of low pressure, which pushes its way northwards across the country very slowly
11:29 pm
