8:33 pm
for us as players as well and he's really took us to the next level, successful as him as he's done recently another semifinal coming is exactly what need and for that we're able to go out on the pitch and try to be at our best and personally i've got a lot to thank him for it james anderson is expecting an emotional week as he prepares to play his final game for england. now a1, the pace bowler will win his 188th test cap at lords on wednesday in the first test against west indies before his international retirement. his sole focus is adding to his 700 test wickets. the fact i will be playing my 188 test just shy of a0 two years old makes me the most proud of the fact i have committed to paying for this long and have just i have committed to playing for this long and have just tried to push myself to be the best i possibly can be. that is all i have ever done. i feel blessed to have been able

one who won all three in group stages without hit four passed georgia for the extra time against the hose germany before knocking them out to — one. the spanish have looked really, really good. the french not so good. didn't help that kylian mbappe broke his nose in the very first match of the tournament for that missed the next game. since he's come back he hasn't been back at his dynamic bass. he's been wearing this mask. the french coach todayit wearing this mask. the french coach today it was told by a journalist say look, it's really boring to play. he said look, where boring going watch something else for that we don't care. i5 going watch something else for that we don't care-— we don't care. is the that matter. you ask any _ we don't care. is the that matter. you ask any england _ we don't care. is the that matter. you ask any england fan - we don't care. is the that matter. you ask any england fan because| you ask any england fan because they've been having pretty torrid time of it watching england as well. that semifinal coming up on the wednesday. the french are not firing yet. the spanish do have a fair few players missing.

nice to hear luc shaw saying about carousel k, we love them. they get so much criticism. actually, he's done so well with them when you look at all the england managers in comparison. what can we expect from the netherlands?— the netherlands? against england? i think the netherlands _ the netherlands? against england? i think the netherlands will _ the netherlands? against england? i think the netherlands will be - the netherlands? against england? i think the netherlands will be hoping | think the netherlands will be hoping that england are still pretty flat because they haven't got going. so many question marks over pretty much every one of their squad for the bukayo saka played well. benevolence, you've got to remember that similarly to england they did not win their group but pretty poor in the group stages. they lost their last group match, they only scraped into the knockout stages, one of those best third place finishers. but they really do have young, exciting talents for them. they're quite late starters. it takes them a while to get going in the group stages. they looked great against romania but in the last 16 needed
8:38 pm
late goals for that. they left it fairly late in their quarterfinal under ronald cumin. but they are attacked and seem a lot more potent then england for that we will have to wait and see. that when his 50-50. it's a to wait and see. that when his 50—50. it's a tricky want to call. as is the spain— france which makes the last four a really interesting couple of days for us here. we've not a couple of days for us here. we've got a good _ couple of days for us here. we've got a good coople _ couple of days for us here. we've got a good couple of _ couple of days for us here. we've got a good couple of days - got a good couple of days of football coming out for the thank you so much. let's turn to the us — joe biden says it's time for questions about his candidacy for the us presidential election to end. in a letter published today to congressional democrats, mr biden said his party had onejob — to defeat donald trump. the us president's also made a surprise phone call to an american tv breakfast show to tell them he is not going anywhere. all of this comes amid ongoing questions over his fitness to stand in the upcoming election in november. from washington, our north america editor sarah smith. everybody!
8:39 pm
she sings. seeking salvation for his presidential campaign, joe biden started at a church in philadelphia yesterday. and followed up with a busy schedule of events, specifically designed to show he's got the stamina required for this election. my name'sjoe biden, i'mjill biden's husband. but as democrats come back to capitol hill today after a holiday break, its expected more of them will call forjoe biden to step aside. this morning, he sent a letter telling them he is not backing down, saying... and he called into a breakfast tv show to repeat the same message. and i'm not lost, and i haven't lost! i beat him last time. i'll beat him this time. and he dared any potential rivals to try to topple him. to any of those guys who don't think i should run, run against me. go ahead, announce for president. challenge me at the convention.
8:40 pm
it will take more than this, though, to erase the memories of that disastrous debate performance. um, dealing with everything we have to do with... uh, look... if... ..we finally beat medicare. in a primetime interview with abc news on friday, he said he didn't need to take a cognitive test and that no one could persuade him to stand down as a candidate. none of my people said i should leave the race. but if they do? well, it's like... we're not going to do that. you're sure? well, yeah, i'm sure! look, i mean, if the lord almighty came down and said, "joe, get out of the race," i would get out of the race, but the lord almighty�*s not coming down. vice president kamala harris has been steadfastly loyal, as those who want mr biden to step down are uniting around the idea that she should be the one to take over. no one can force him out of the race, but many will keep trying to persuade him to go.
8:41 pm
the new prime minister sir keir starmer has finished a whistlestop tour of all four nations of the uk. after visiting scotland yesterday, he spent the morning in belfast meeting political leaders before travelling to cardiff to meet wales' first minister. he's also been meeting his party's new mps, who've been arriving in westminster as to begin their careers in parliament. meanwhile, rachel reeves has made her first speech as chancellor, confirming she will bring back mandatory house building targets and loosen planning rules in england to encourage the building of new homes. speaking to business leaders at the treasury ms reeves said economic growth would be "labour's national mission". 0ur economics editor faisal islam reports. britain's biggest wind farm is currently this one in scotland just outside glasgow. the new government has just lifted the ban on a new onshore wind like this in england and fast tracked their approval.
8:42 pm
part of this planning revolution will also reintroduce mandatory targets for house—building and allow more flexible use of the green belt for development. hello, you all right? lovely to see you. and all that was announced to key business investors. gathered at the treasury to hear the new chancellor's plans for growth and targets for 1.5 million new homes. how prepared are we to make the hard choices and face down the vested interests? how willing, even, to risk short—term political pain to fix britain's foundations? in history, we've only ever had this level of house—building when the state has been involved. are you relying too much on the people behind me from the private sector? we need the private sector to build homes. we are not going to be in the business of building those homes directly. if this big bang of planning reform works, we will see hundreds of new wind turbines, hundreds of thousands of new homes built across the country every year. and they are notjust expecting
8:43 pm
there to be political flashpoints locally, they are essentially saying, "bring it on," they want to demonstrate to investors that they are willing to take some political pain in order to give them certainty to boost british growth. house builders were, unsurprisingly, supportive. that all looks good for the industry, but they have to deliver. we have had over ten years of under delivery, and there is such a backlog. the green belt is areas of countryside mainly around major cities that restrict their growth in terms of house—building and industry, most clearly seen in london and between liverpool, manchester and leeds. labour's plans are designed still to concentrate development in existing brownfield areas, but to release land in some more mixed areas that they have termed gray belt. high growth oxford and cambridge, for example, might no longer be severely restricted. campaigners are sceptical. the area's research shows that there are enough brownfield sites to deliver 1.2 million
8:44 pm
homes already, so... so they don't need to go on the green belt? well, we don't think so, no. new cabinet ministers are often spotted in high vis. and hard hats. the government wants spades in the ground across the country and quickly. faisal islam, bbc news. poltiical correspondent harry farley joins me now from westminster. sir keir starmer talked a lot about hitting the ground running in his press conference. his team have been very busy over the last few days. they talk so much throughout the campaign about growth and today we heard rachel reeves plan. we campaign about growth and today we heard rachel reeves plan.— heard rachel reeves plan. we did. much of the _ heard rachel reeves plan. we did. much of the plant _ heard rachel reeves plan. we did. much of the plant rests _ heard rachel reeves plan. we did. much of the plant rests on - heard rachel reeves plan. we did. much of the plant rests on what. much of the plant rests on what faisal was talking about their house—building and infrastructure building and changing the planning laws around how you get those things done to try to speed development, construction across the uk. 0ne done to try to speed development, construction across the uk. one of the challenging things i think labour will run into, which we
8:45 pm
haven't heard much detail about is they've reimpose housing targets, mandatory local councils with that that was in place before. rishi sunak to describe it but before he scrapped it local councils had mandatory targets and the problem was they often didn't hit them. there is a question as to how they will force or cajole or encourage to hit those housing targets when in the past there haven't been willing to do so for the particularly because labour now has control whether at a council level or a parliamentary level on many areas where there are concerns about house—building for the areas around cities that where they want to protect their green spaces. rachel reeves the chancellor today said that she was willing to take those tough decisions and willing to face down vested interests. i think that will be an interesting debate, not just with opponents more generally
8:46 pm
house—building, notjust with the conservatives but also with labour councils and also labour mps. i think that some of the fight still to come on that question of building, whether that's infrastructure or housing. there's been a lot — infrastructure or housing. there's been a lot of new _ infrastructure or housing. there's been a lot of new faces _ infrastructure or housing. there's been a lot of new faces today - infrastructure or housing. there'sj been a lot of new faces today and west minister. what's the mood built like they are? are you giving help to find their way? is like they are? are you giving help to find their way?— like they are? are you giving help to find their way? is very different from what is _ to find their way? is very different from what is normally _ to find their way? is very different from what is normally like. - to find their way? is very different from what is normally like. the i to find their way? is very different. from what is normally like. the mood off in west minister is quite tense, it's by nature an adversarial debate debating place where it's based around argument and confrontation. not so today. we saw hundreds of new mps turning up, getting their past, getting an e—mail login, finding their way around, trying to work out who to be friends with and often getting lost. also i suppose the flip side we saw a number of mps, tobias ellwood, the former

8:48 pm
cameron has resigned. he's no longer the shadow foreign secretary. the other name to quit is richard holden, chair of the consent to eight conservative party. he has oversight of part of the campaign, the figurehead in many ways of that campaign. given that it went so badly for the conservatives perhaps not a surprise that he has resigned as well. 0ther not a surprise that he has resigned as well. other names have largely stayed in their places. jeremy hunt has been shadow chancellor, james cleverly to shadow. so many former cabinet ministers lost their seats at the general election for the chemie badenoch who held her seat has moved from business to shadowing angela rayner in housing and local government. a few changes. this is an interim shadow cabinet because we're expecting in the coming weeks possibly months that conservative leadership race to get under way and for the conservatives to choose their next leader who will be the

8:57 pm
sunshine around at times. the sunshine best across northern england through today, but there will be more rain to come and that's courtesy of this deep area of low pressure just spinning these weather fronts northwards through tonight. there's some really quite muggy, humid—feeling air towards the south of it as well, but some heavy downpours of rain through the night, especially across the moors of the south west, moving across into north wales, the north midlands and northern england in time for tomorrow morning. mild and muggy towards the south — 13—14 celsius — but a lot chillier further north, where we'll keep the clear skies across much of scotland. lows here around 6—8 celsius, perhaps, for some. so that low pressure continues to move very slowly further northwards as we head through tuesday, the humid—feeling areas towards the south of it. the heavy rain will push into northern england, eventually curl around into northern ireland, southern—central areas of scotland, as we head through the second half of the day and eventually into eastern scotland, where it's going to be really quite relentless. but northern scotland stays dry. to the south of these fronts, some sunny spells, a lot of cloud around.
8:58 pm
watch out for a few showers, particularly where we do get the sunshine, but here, temperatures will peak at 20—22 celsius. the air is mild and muggy. and if we take a look at wednesday, then you can see we've got this brisk north—easterly wind blowing. it'sjust blowing more rain. it's going to be really quite relentless across many parts of eastern northern scotland as we head through wednesday. and the rainfall totals will really start to rack up. further south, yes, a few showers, but also some bright and some sunny spells appearing between those cloud layers and temperatures will get as high as 20—21 celsius again. the low pressure pulls away from the north sea as we head through thursday. this occlusion sinks further southwards, introducing clouds, some showers, but there's more heavy rain approaching again from the south and that is going to affect southern areas of england, perhaps east anglia, south east england as we head through friday. we'll also draw down more of a north—easterly wind, so temperatures are likely to drop again by the time we get to the end of the working week. bye—bye for now.
