as they search for their suspect. this is a very big police search involving hertfordshire police and the metropolitan police and they are determined to find him. obviously there is a concern that the police do not know if he is still armed with a crossbow and they believe they may have, he may have other weapons as well and we are expecting an update from the police tonight. but around here just an enormous sense of shock and anguish at the deaths of those members of the family. peoplejust in mourning for these free of women. —— for these three beautiful women. the prime minister is due to have his first face—to—face meeting with us presidentjoe biden in the white house later. sir keir starmer travelled to the us overnight for a nato summit — where it's been announced that the first f—i6 fighterjets are being transferred to ukraine — to help kyiv counter russia's control of the skies. our political editor chris mason is travelling with the pm.

landing on the world stage. trail behind him, the red carpet in front. accompanied by his wife, victoria, a motorcade tojoin. ukraine on his mind, sleep to grab, people to meet. first up, the german chancellor, olaf scholz. grip and grin, this a few days to build personal relationships with the uk's closest allies. next stop the senate to meet senior us politicians, both democrat and republican. how might this town look next year after the us presidential election? prime minister, good morning. ukraine's president zelensky. how are you? nato wants its members to spend 2% of national income on defence. most, but not all manage it. the uk exceeds it. the new government is promising to boost defence spending to 2.5%, but not putting a time frame on it.

prime minister, is president zelensky reassured that he's getting the help that he needs? i've just had a very good meeting with president zelensky, where i made it absolutely clear that as far as the uk is concerned, the change of government makes no difference to the support that we will provide, and to use our opportunity here with our allies to make sure that that support is agreed. and to reinforce, in a sense as a message to putin, the resolve of nato — bigger now than it's ever been, more united than it's ever been, and absolutely clear—eyed about the threat of russian aggression. the uk will begin what's called a strategic defence review next week to work out what is needed for our security, and part of that will be about the money required too. but the review will take time. so what, weeks or months? no defence review, when it's

grappling with such problems, can be done in weeks, but it will be done properly, it will be done at pace, and it'll give us the foundations as a new government to lead britain into the future. they call this the family photo, and a first one for a new prime minister. those rosettes and election campaign speeches seem rather a while ago now. keir starmer heads to the white house next. and if you find all of this a bit dizzying, the speed of uk democracy, so do we and so do the prime minister and his team. this summit has been in the diary for months and was going to happen this week anyway so it has been into something of a diplomatic speed dating event for the prime minister and senior ministers accompanying him. and on that tour the ultimate date, a date at the white house. and that is what

is coming the other side of the football for the prime minister tonight. joe biden is facing growing pressure to drop his bid for re—election. the hollywood actor george clooney, a high—profile democrat, says the party would lose with biden as its candidate. our north america editor sarah smithjoins me. how significant is his intervention? i think it really matters not because george clooney is a celebrity but because he raises millions of dollars for democratic campaigns. he says in the new york times piece he wrote that he loves joe biden but fears that democrats will lose in november with his presence. then he says when he met joe biden three weeks ago at a glitzy fundraiser in la he did appear to be diminished and that the man he met then was the same man

that we all witnessed in that disastrous debate. that is very damaging as an insight from george clooney. another big name in the democratic party, nancy pelosi has also spoken out in a tv interview and seem to suggest that she thinks the president should change his mind and choose to step aside saying he needs to make a decision soon. i think it is telling where she chose to say that, on a breakfast show that the president is known to watch. the show that he himself called into on monday morning in fact. here she is speaking to an audience with that interview. the president of course is trying to rise above this hosting the nato summit, not yet enough voices have spoken out to demand that he steps aside but the clamour is growing and many more think he should who have not yet gone public. injust under two hours' time, england face the netherlands in the euros semi finals. if they win, it would be the first time england have reached a major final on foreign soil. their manager, gareth southgate —

has told them �*now is the chance to make history'. awaiting the winner in the final on sunday will be spain who beat france last night. well our sports editor dan roan is inside the stadium in dortmund — where anticipation is building? absolutely. it does not get much bigger than this. in the world cup of both 1990 and 2018 england progress to the semifinals and on both occasions they tasted defeat. but here this evening in dortmund gareth southgate and his side of the chance to make history and do what no other england men site have ever managed before, to reach the final of a major tournament overseas. standing in the way a dutch side that represents a formidable force both on and off the field as andy swiss reports. # long to reign over us, god save our king!

england supporters are used to making themselves heard, but this one might be a struggle. it was a day dortmund turned orange. up to 100,000 netherlands fans descending on the city and marching to the stadium. england supporters definitely outnumbered, but not, they hope, outplayed. there are a lot more dutch supporters here than english supporters. yeah, but england's coming home! it's coming home! we're not going home. it's loud. it's very orange. you know southgate knows what we've got to do. we're ready. we're going to win. end of story. well, it feels like most of the netherlands has descended here on dortmund. thousands upon thousands of dutch fans. and they're hoping to end england's hopes. both are playing well, but look at the crowd. look at the crowd. we took over dortmund. i think england is going to win.

going to win the drinking battle, and we're going to win the football, and that's good for us. yeah! england might not have played their best here so far. here we go. trent takes the net off! but their win on penalties over switzerland proved their resilience. sheringham waits. and remember this? england last met the netherlands in a major tournament at euro �*96, where england won. and their star that day thinks they can win again. they haven't been brilliant yet, but what they've got in abundance is great team spirit and they've found a way to win. i'm sure that they can go up another gear or two. and they're probably going to have to, because the netherlands are a really good team. england's women, remember, won the euros two years ago, and they believe the men's team can now follow suit. we'll always back them all the way.

i'm english and i think they're going to win it, and hopefully they do. but i think all that matters in tournament football is win and progress. and that's what they've been doing. even at tough times, they've been finding ways to win. so can the three lions rise to the occasion? the netherlands might win the fans contest, but for england, winning that place in the final is all that matters. andy swiss, bbc news, dortmund. well, millions here are getting ready to watch the game too. danjohnson is with some fans in gloucestershire — and they're all looking very excited? this is thornbury town football club and a real grassroots place with lots of different age groups playing right from age six to 18. one of these places where you're reminded what the professional players do can really inspire the younger generations here. loads of energy and a real buzz about the place in training tonight. we will get some

predictions in a moment but first i've spoke to some players and the coach of north restored wanderers fc. it's been a slow start, i'll be honest. but i think we are building in confidence. so i think coming away from a perfect penalty shoot—out is going to do us really well in the next game. it's been one of those tournaments where we are not expecting at this time and we're kind quietlyjust taking it in. but i think england will surprise us. i'm hoping they can find the same sort of pace they had last time . but maybe a bit more attacking, a bit more positive. _ i think netherlands' defence are going to be a little more open, allow our attackers to really push forward and to make the most of it. i'm going to say 2—1. 2—1, england. i think we will win it. i think we've been really lucky with the path that we've got. i i think were going to do it, 2—nil.

in 90 minutes. you are confident? confident. i'm always confident. but, you know, that's being an england fan, isn't it? lots of confidence but the reality of how nervy it has been watching england. what do you reckon? fix, late england. what do you reckon? a late anthony gordon _ england. what do you reckon? a late anthony gordon goal— england. what do you reckon? a late anthony gordon goal wins _ england. what do you reckon? a late anthony gordon goal wins it - england. what do you reckon? a late anthony gordon goal wins it for - anthony gordon goal wins it for engiand~ — anthony gordon goal wins it for england. 1—0.| anthony gordon goal wins it for england- 1-0-— anthony gordon goal wins it for encland. 1-0. ~' , ., england. 1-0. i think it will be won one but we — england. 1-0. i think it will be won one but we will— england. 1-0. i think it will be won one but we will win _ england. 1-0. i think it will be won one but we will win 2-1_ england. 1-0. i think it will be won one but we will win 2-1 in - england. 1-0. i think it will be won one but we will win 2-1 in extra - one but we will win 2—1 in extra time _ one but we will win 2—1 in extra time i— one but we will win 2-1 in extra time. ~ , one but we will win 2-1 in extra time. ~' , ' ., time. i think it will be 2-1 england in normaltime. _ time. i think it will be 2-1 england in normal time. let's get - time. i think it will be 2-1 england in normal time. let's get a - time. i think it will be 2-1 england in normal time. let's get a sense | time. i think it will be 2-1 england i in normal time. let's get a sense of what the others _ in normal time. let's get a sense of what the others think. _ in normal time. let's get a sense of what the others think. what - in normal time. let's get a sense of what the others think. what do - in normal time. let's get a sense of what the others think. what do you | what the others think. what do you reckon, guys? cheering and applause let's return now to our sports editor dan roan. are they feeling confident there? england fans i think we'll believe,

yes. it's no doubt this is among the biggest moments the national team has faced in its history. after all, gareth southgate's side have not found these euros easy. it was only a couple of weeks ago he was booed off the field by some england supporters. the team were producing lacklustre displays are not delivering the attacking, entertaining football many fans will have hoped for coming into this tournament, and yet here they are, one step from making history for the side. there is no doubt the dutch represent formidable opposition but they don't have the experience that england do of such a stage. it is the third time in six seasons england have been in the semifinals of a major tournament, and of course he now faces a potential legacy defining few days. when here this evening and they will have a shot at glory in the final on sunday, but lose and it may well be that he is destined to always be seen as the

nearly man of english football, a man who progressed the team but was not quite able to get them over the line. berlin beckons, it's a huge occasion but england fans and their players will believe it can be done. a nervous night ahead, thank you. our top story this evening. a strong start for england in the cricket, with fast bowler coming up on bbc news: rybkahina's into the semi—finals of wimbledon and wasted no time in getting there. the champion from two years ago took just over an hour to beat elina svitolina on centre court. former pupil eze ahead of the semifinal tonight. for the second time since the start of the conflict, civilians in gaza city are being told to leave their homes and head south. the israeli army has been dropping

thousands of leaflets telling more than a quarter of a million people that gaza city remains a dangerous combat zone and they should leave. in southern gaza, at least 29 palestinians have been killed and dozens more wounded in an israeli air strike on a camp for displaced people outside a school. gaza's hamas—run health ministry said the strike had hit next to the gate of a school east of the city of khan younis. fergal keane has the story. there are distressing images in his report. the women of the house of abu abed. they have lost a brother. mohammed was 27, trained to teach special needs children, and about to be married. translation: he was going out

to call his fiancee. _ next week, the borders will open and he could go see her. hejoked, "goodbye, gaza, goodbye." they were playing football nearby when the missile struck. they ran to help. the israeli military says it was targeting a hamas member allegedly involved in the october 7th massacres. in the process, they killed 29 people, many of them women and children. dozens more were wounded. they've been bombed, displaced — from one fragile refuge to another. there are the wounds of war.

and there is what they have seen and what cannot be unremembered. they are connected by ties of family and of suffering. they lean in to stop the child struggling as shrapnel is removed from his head. pure chance the direction of the blast saved this infant. and this young man whose mother is pushed beyond endurance. "this is enough," she says. "this is enough." the israel defence forces say they're reviewing the circumstances of the airstrike. in al—awda, the mortuaries are crowded, but not all of the dead here are named. on this shroud, the words say simply "a woman".

on a day when all paths seem to lead to the graves. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. going back now to our main story tonight and the manhunt after a woman and her two daughters were killed in their home last night. our correspondentjoins us now with an update. we havejust had correspondentjoins us now with an update. we have just had this e—mail from the police in the last few seconds saying that they had found kyle clifford, the suspect. they say, a man wanted in connection with a triple murder in or she has been traced following an extensive search. kyle clifford was found in the enfield area by offices this afternoon. he is receiving medical treatment having been found with injuries. they add no shots were fired by police. so that comes after

a dramatic afternoon where police surrounded a cemetery in enfield, and police later on this afternoon that was the focus, and it appears that was the focus, and it appears that after this triple killing here in bushey and this big manhunt for kyle clifford, the police now say that they have found him and he is in custody where he is receiving medical treatment and then he will be in custody. in a statement, detective inspectorjustinejenkins said, the investigation is moving at a fast and formal pace and the identification of the victims is yet to take place. the suspect has been located and nobody else is being sought in connection with this investigation at the time. they had the premature naming of potential victims has caused great upsets of the family but also say they have had an overwhelming number of calls

and would like to express our gratitude to members of the public who contacted us. so that is the breaking news this evening, that the suspect for this triple murder has been found. lucy manning with the latest, thank you. at wimbledon, the seven—time champion, novak djokovic, is through to the semi finals of wimbledon without hitting a ball, after his opponent alex de minaur pulled out through injury. and the 2022 champion elena rybakina is also through. it tookjust 62 minutes for her to beat ukrainan elina svitolina in straight sets. after 21 years, and a career unmatched in success, james anderson began his last test match for england today. it was a poignant occasion for him, but in the end the day belonged to another fast bowler. england dismissed west indies forjust 121 and ended the day 154 for 3 in reply.

from lord's, joe wilson reports. maybe james anderson didn't want any fuss. well, of course, this test began as his occasion. lord's was full of his admirers and his family. when he walked from the pavilion, his wife, parents and daughters were there to ring the bell to begin his final test match. and we're off. anderson opened the bowling and met some resolute west indies batting. mikyle louis representing saint kitts and nevis. a proud moment. enter gus atkinson. for him, it's all beginning. atkinson bowled with pace and accuracy throughout. west indies' batting light on experience, short on practice, predictably struggled. seven wickets on his debut. gus atkinson can look back on this day with pride, even if he plays for another 21 years. well, there was time forjames anderson. jayden seales lbw, test wicket 701. the relevant part, anderson would insist, west indies 121 all out.

england were soon racing along in reply, as they always do these days. ollie pope and zak crawley setting the pace. england aiming for a dominant position already. sport is always moving quick. that's why james anderson's career is so exceptional. england are already planning for the next ashes in 18 months' time. the bowler who can help them, they believe, is gus atkinson. seven wickets and counting. joe wilson, bbc news at lord's. in 2007, argentina's star footballer lionel messi posed for photos with a baby as part of a charity photoshoot. but little did anyone know that that baby would also become a footballer. the baby is now 16 years old — he's called lamine yamal, and last night he made history when he scored for spain in the euros semi final. from madrid, guy hedgecoe has more.

spain is dreaming again. 12 years after last lifting the european championship trophy, the men's team has reached the final. and the player everyone is talking about is 16—year—old lamine yamal. his 21st minute wonder goal levelled the result against france and made him the youngest goal scorer in the tournament's history. the 16—year—old! the barcelona winger�*s electric performance helped spain then take the lead. we started screaming. we were really happy and, yes, very excited. that's crazy that he's16 years old and i'm like, uh, - trying to remember, _ "what was i doing at 16 years old?" many are now saying he was destined for greatness after this photo emerged of the player as a baby being held by lionel messi. translation: i don't know if i am an icon or not. - i just try to help my team, and that's what i did today. lamine yamal was born in catalonia, but his father is moroccan and his mother is from equatorial guinea. and increasing numbers of players like yamal represent the country's

multicultural reality. yamal turns 17 on saturday, the day before the final. spanish fans are now hoping he will give them something to celebrate. translation: i don't know if i am an icon or not. - guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. from next week visitors to buckingham palace will be able to peer through the net curtains on to the mall for the first time. you won't however be allowed to step onto the narrow balcony — that is for the royal family only — at national events, royal weddings and coronations. almost 6,000 tickets to visit the newly restored east wing of the palace sold out within hours of going on sale in april. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. it's going to get warmer next week, you just told me. i had a quick
