8:30 pm
they're lining the streets and there's also a large crowd warming the party up at the end of the route at the plaza de cibeles, the traditional site of spanish celebrations over the years — the bus with the players setting off from the palace of moncloa after the squad were received by spanish prime minister pedro sanchez. the winning squad continuing the good times. meanwhile, england's euro 2024 finalists have arrived back on british soil. a low—key return for them into gloomy weather that seems to match the nation's mood following that heartbreaking loss to spain. it was a second successive defeat in the european championship final for gareth southgate�*s men. the england manager promised that he will address speculation over his future and whether he'd be
8:31 pm
interested in extending his current contract — which expires in december — but not straightaway. it's hard to reflect so soon after a defeat like this. of course, to take england to two finals is has never been done, but we came here to win and we did that. and spare a thought for this england supporter. this is dan thomas — who before the final — chose to get a tattoo that declared england were "euro 2024 winners". he insists he doesn't regret it and will "not cover it up". attentions now turn to england's women's side as they face sweden
8:32 pm
in gothenburg tomorrow. a draw in that match will be enough to see them qualify for next year's euros in switzerland. captain leah williamson was asked about her feelings when fans sing "it's coming home", given the lionesses won the tournament 2 years ago. obviously sometimes you need to distinguish between men's and women's in certain settings, we obviously know what we did, i think the country remembers, the country had a fantastic summer, as did we, and the boys has given us those as well, the final results, obviously in for finals, well, the final results, obviously in forfinals, one well, the final results, obviously in for finals, one trophy has actually landed back in england. and that's for both of us to keep striving for more. argentina have successfully defended their copa america title, beating colombia 1—0 in extra time to win the trophy for a record 16th time. the occasion though was marred by trouble outside the ground in miami with the kick—off delayed by 80 minutes. organisers said ticketless fans tried to get into the ground, causing chaos outside the hard rock stadium. there were clashes between fans and police officers and security.
8:33 pm
it was a night of mixed emotions for lionel messi — he left the field in tears in the second half after injuring himself running for the ball. the match went to extra time, the winning goal came in the 112th minute from substitute lautaro martinez. so messi got to lift the copa america trophy for a second time, captaining his country to their third major title in three years. finally, the odds of catching a home run at a baseball game are pretty slim, so you can imagine your chances of catching two. but not for this baseball fan, who was lucky enough to catch two home runs in the same game as the chicago cubs played the saint louis cardinals. he caught that christopher morel home run in the sixth inning, and repeated the trick in the eighth inning, again catching a morel home run. surely a once in a lifetime moment. and that's all the sport for now.
8:34 pm
i was just reflecting as we were hearing that, that picture and the two of them winning the trophy on the same night, who of course became the same night, who of course became the star of the show in germany, winning young player of the tournaments. in fact, winning young player of the tournaments. infact, i winning young player of the tournaments. in fact, i am seeing tonight, read oliver my screen. we are watching republican red in milwaukee. as we have been hearing, it has been quite the party in madrid today. why not? they played some fantastic football, didn't they? by a long shot, the best team in the tournament. they deserve it winners in the end. from europe to the americas where one team dominates. world champions, argentina, have retained their copa america title, beating colombia i—o. lautaro martinez struck the winner deep into extra time. they've won that tournament a record 16 times. although the focus in this tournament wasn't always on the pitch. there were the ugly scenes
8:35 pm
at the semifinal last week as the uruguay team waded into the stand to confront the colombia fans. and then the start of the final was delayed over an hour last night, with some distressing scenes around the stadium in miami. fans crushed on the barriers. organisers blamed ticketless fans who had tried to force their way in. for more, let's speak to south american football journalist, tim vickery. nice to see you. the uruguay manager who we all know from his time here in leeds. he's had some pretty harsh words over the organisation of the tournament, specifically about the lack of security on the conditions off the field at the stadiums that are normally used by the nfl teams. ijust are normally used by the nfl teams. i just wonder how are normally used by the nfl teams. ijust wonder how problematic, how embarrassing that becomes for a country that is about to stage the world cup. country that is about to stage the world cu -. , country that is about to stage the worldcu. , , ., . world cup. extremely problematic. the world cup _ world cup. extremely problematic. the world cup is _ world cup. extremely problematic. the world cup is a _ world cup. extremely problematic. the world cup is a fee _ world cup. extremely problematic. the world cup is a fee for - world cup. extremely problematic. the world cup is a fee for thing, i the world cup is a fee for thing, not south america's ua five. there will a be different level of
8:36 pm
planning. and it will have to be of different level because we got lucky last night. it could've ended up really, really bad. we could have ended up at the news story of tragedy. it's that lesson that english football had to learn a few decades ago merely putting so many people together, restricted space of a stadium, and it in and of itself asa a stadium, and it in and of itself as a threat to their safety. the event organisation clearly very poon event organisation clearly very poor. it's almost as if it was organised as a kind of light entertainment event. a show by shakira at half—time. this is football. it goes deeper. this is the biggest thing, perhaps the biggest game in the history of colombian football. in the massive army of colombian travelling fans that wanted to be there one way or another. so not sealing off the perimeter, allowing far too many ticketless fans to get close to the stadium. many getting into the stadium. many getting into the stadium. and then the problems start. i'm going to enter a little
8:37 pm
bit into the realm of speculation here, but there is always room for a tension between the owners of the stadium in miami, a private company and the event, and what it appears has happened here is that after the invasion by quite a substantial number of ticketless fans, the stadium organisation, they are worried about some new people being in the stadium and may be being legally liable for what happens afterwards. so they shut the doors, meaning there is a build—up of fans outside the stadium in conditions of extreme heat. many people falling ill because of the extreme heat. so the message from the match organisers was continually kick off in 20 minutes, kick off in 30 minutes, kick off, meanwhile, the message from the stadium owners was stating that the match is delayed until further notice while we get all of the ticketless fans out of
8:38 pm
the stadium. that clearly wasn't viable. once they've got income at the most impossible to get them out. so in the end, i think after probably a fair amount of row behind the scenes about possible liability, the scenes about possible liability, the doors were opened and fans streamed in, meaning that many without tickets got in and some with tickets were not able to get in at all. so from an organisational point of view, this really wasn't a good advert for this, and a lot of lessons will have to be learned in two years' time. we lessons will have to be learned in two years' time-— lessons will have to be learned in two years' time. we all know in this country what _ two years' time. we all know in this country what the _ two years' time. we all know in this country what the ramifications - two years' time. we all know in this country what the ramifications of i country what the ramifications of that can be. we don't need reminding about what happened at hillsboro, and some of the scenes last night on the barriers were pretty distressing to watch. let's lighten the mood a little bit and talk about the football. the other things that is had to be said, is that football is getting boring. and i have to say, that with the expection of spain and
8:39 pm
spain aside come of euros have been pretty underwhelming for a lot of fans. has it been different in the coppa america? ida. fans. has it been different in the ceppa america?— fans. has it been different in the coppa america? no, not really. and here all roads _ coppa america? no, not really. and here all roads seem _ coppa america? no, not really. and here all roads seem to _ coppa america? no, not really. and here all roads seem to leave - here all roads seem to leave somewhere else, because he was very, very critical of the pitch, he said that other coaches were muzzled and threatened when they tried to criticise the pitch. two problems here. one is a lot of the stadiums are american football stadiums and the pitches are smaller than usual for this kind of occasion. considerably smaller. that means that it considerably smaller. that means thatitis considerably smaller. that means that it is less space on the field come it's harder to find space and there is going to be more friction. but also the quality of those pitches with the grass for football stadiums laid down three or four days before the game, and in very poor condition. so that made it difficult to play top class football. more problems, i think for the world cup in two years' time and there is another problem, which is excessive heat. this was played in
8:40 pm
conditions of excessive heat, a number of stadiums air—conditioned, but the training grounds not. some of the stadiums not. one of the standout moments just before half—time and one game, a linesman from guatemala collapsed because of the heat. you would expect them to be used high temperatures. it was too much for him. now that's especially a problem for the world cup in two years' time because the kick off times will be earlier in order to attract a mass european tv audience. so we come out of this hopefully having learned lessons there are some things that can be fixed, but that fierce summer sunshine in many places of the united states, that is something we are going to have to live with. tim. are going to have to live with. tim, thank ou are going to have to live with. tim, thank you very _ are going to have to live with. tim, thank you very much _ are going to have to live with. tim, thank you very much for _ are going to have to live with. tim, thank you very much for that. lessons to be learned over there in the united states ahead of the world cup 2026. looking forward to that already, aren't we, after last night. returning from spanish red to republican red, continuing to watch events in milwaukee, where we are
8:41 pm
currently on the roll call. the delegates announcing their support for donald trump, and just the last half hour, a fairly colour for all event, as you see, different states in different uniforms, that sort of thing, currently north dakota, 29 delegates for donald trump. let's bring sumi back and because you've been talking to rami jackson, who many will know because he was the former white house physician, and our republican congressman in texas. but the interesting thing here is that his nephew was in the family and friends section in pittsburgh at the weekend. and friends section in pittsburgh at the weekend-— the weekend. that's right. his nehew the weekend. that's right. his nephew was — the weekend. that's right. his nephew was sitting _ the weekend. that's right. his nephew was sitting in - the weekend. that's right. his nephew was sitting in that - the weekend. that's right. his| nephew was sitting in that very front row, that first front few rose and she told us that his nephew actually was grazed by a bullet on his neck and said that his nephew didn't realise at first what had
8:42 pm
happened. he had fallen to the floor because of the commotion, and when he stood up again, somebody had told him behind him that his neck was bleeding. he then went to the medical tent and was treated there. unfortunately, saw the gentleman who lost his life, so rami jackson was telling us that his nephew, i9 lost his life, so rami jackson was telling us that his nephew, 19 years old, is doing fine, but of course it was a traumatic experience. it was interesting to talk to rami jackson, as you said, a close ally of president trump. he was in bedminster newjersey with president trump right after the assassination attempt. he flew here to milwaukee with president trump as well. we asked him how he's doing and he said he's in great spirits. he said that the president is going to focus on that message of unity that we keep hearing about when he delivers his speech at the convention. we asked him if there are concerns about more violence after what we saw on saturday. here is part of our conversation stopper well, i think danger probably peaked
8:43 pm
before this happens, to be honest with you. hopefully this has opened people's eyes. and it's not as dangerous as people's eyes. and it's not as dangerou— people's eyes. and it's not as dancerou , ., , dangerous as it was before this happened- _ dangerous as it was before this happened. that _ dangerous as it was before this happened. that is _ dangerous as it was before this happened. that is my - dangerous as it was before this happened. that is my hope. i dangerous as it was before this - happened. that is my hope. honestly, i'm happened. that is my hope. honestly, l'rn not— happened. that is my hope. honestly, i'm not being, you know, like i said. _ i'm not being, you know, like i said. this — i'm not being, you know, like i said, this has happened on both sides_ said, this has happened on both sides to — said, this has happened on both sides to some extent, but the perfect — sides to some extent, but the perfect example, on the left, in places— perfect example, on the left, in places like morning joe, joe scarborough, people like that, i watch _ scarborough, people like that, i watch that on occasion and they refer— watch that on occasion and they refer to — watch that on occasion and they refer to people that go to trump rallies_ refer to people that go to trump rallies as — refer to people that go to trump rallies as extremists and as domestic terrorists. so much as called _ domestic terrorists. so much as called them nazis and referred to trump _ called them nazis and referred to trump as— called them nazis and referred to trump as hitler. that's kind of stuff _ trump as hitler. that's kind of stuff has — trump as hitler. that's kind of stuff has to stop because there are people _ stuff has to stop because there are people out — stuff has to stop because there are people out there that are psychologically not right and unbalanced and they hear these kinds of things— unbalanced and they hear these kinds of things and it can encourage them to do— of things and it can encourage them to do something like what we saw with the _ to do something like what we saw with the assassination attempt. would — with the assassination attempt. would you call them members of your own party to not use extreme language? as we have also seen from republicans. i language? as we have also seen from republicans-— republicans. i think it is ok to oint out republicans. i think it is ok to point out how— republicans. i think it is ok to point out how extreme - republicans. i think it is ok to point out how extreme some i republicans. i think it is ok to l point out how extreme some of republicans. i think it is ok to i point out how extreme some of the policies _ point out how extreme some of the policies are, but, you know, ithink we should — policies are, but, you know, ithink we should do— policies are, but, you know, ithink

8:46 pm
nominee as well, that is something we are going to look forward to to see what the former president has to say when he is on stage. it is see what the former president has to say when he is on stage.— say when he is on stage. it is going to be something, _ say when he is on stage. it is going to be something, metaphorically i to be something, metaphorically speaking they will be putting his arms around him. you can already tell from listening to ramijackson. the question is whether he can pivot and appeal to those voters, those independent swing voters that he needs to win over in suburbs there in milwaukee which have walked away from moraga and away from trump �*s arm. we will continue to check in with you through the course of the evening. thank you very much for that. let's focus on some of the bay�*s other news. police in spain say that human remains have been found on the island of tenerife near to where the british teenager — jay slater — went missing. the 19—year—old, from lancashire, has not been seen since he disappeared last month. formal indentification of those remains has yet to take place — but spanish police say that "all evidence suggests" they are those of jay slater. the teenager was on holiday on tenerife and had been at a music festival on the island.
8:47 pm
he then went to a house several miles away. the body has been found near the village of masca— where he was last seen . police say he may have suffered an accident or fall as our correspondent danny savage reports. this is the area of tenerife where jay slater was last seen alive. mountainous terrain where he'd ended up at an airbnb after a night out. it's not farfrom here where human remains have now been found, along with his clothes and possessions. jay was 19 years old, and had been holidaying with friends when he vanished last month. a huge search was launched for him by the authorities on the island. drones were sent into the air to assist mountain rescue teams, but the official search was eventually called off when no trace of him was found. they now believe he could have fallen in the steep, inaccessible area where a body has now been discovered. these pictures have just been
8:48 pm
released of a deep deserted gorge where rescuers found who they believe to be jay. a statement from the civil guard on tenerife today says, "all indications indicate that it could be the young british man jay was from oswaldtwistle, here in lancashire, and ever since he went missing, people have been tying blue ribbons to lamp posts and fences in public places to show that people here were keeping him and his family in their thoughts. they were, of course, hoping for a much happier outcome than the one we now appear to be facing. i've known him. i grew up around here all my life, so everyone knows everyone around here like so, yeah, it's a shame it is. it's bad, you know? everyone wants him home. it's everyone wants an answer, don't they? i think it's hit the community hard around here because obviously he's a well, he's a local lad and he's well known. i feel sorry for the family for going through this and i owe every effort. people going over, especially
8:49 pm
our local fire service, going over to find him, it must have hit... it's hit hard. like so many young people, jay headed to tenerife for the nightlife. his disappearance led to some disturbing conspiracy theories, but his body was found near where his mobile was last used, when he called friends to say he was walking the many miles back to his resort. danny savage, bbc news. plenty more and that story on the bbc website.
8:50 pm
scientists have made a lunar discovery — they have idenfitied a cave on the surface of the moon which they think could be an ideal location for a base. it's at least 100 metres deep, and researchers say it could help them establish a permanent human presence on the moon.
8:51 pm
any extended mission to the moon will need to consider how astronauts can be protected from the sun's radiation, extreme temperatures, and the weather in space. underground they might have a better environment to work in. professor lorenzo bruzzone was part of the team at the university of trento in italy that found this cave using radar to scan a vast plain that is visible from earth, the so called sea of tranquility. thank you very much. we think that... the past history of the moon was that there was volcanic activity and after the consolidation of the lava, there were some parts of the flow of lava that created this empty tube. this is something that we

8:55 pm
focus on the convention in milwaukee and, of course, expecting an appearance from former president trump who will be on stage with his pick for vice president. don't miss it. hello there. we should see some improvements in the weather later this week, but we've started the week with cloud and rain, and it's already been a very wet july for some eastern parts of england. loftus really stands out. we've had more than twice the normal rainfall. in contrast to here in western scotland, where there's only been 20% of normal rainfall, and it's generally been drier in the west and wetter in the east. but this area of low pressure has been trudging northwards, bringing these outbreaks of rain northwards. we may well see the rain turning heavy and possibly even thundery for a while as it moves its way further north across england and wales. it should turn drier in the south later in the night, and further north in scotland,
8:56 pm
there will still be some showers around as well. but with more cloud around tonight, it is going to be a bit warmer than it was last night — 13 or ia degrees. but we start tomorrow with this cloud and rain in wales and parts of northern england, that should get drawn away, and it will brighten up in many places. but there will be some showers as well, some pokey ones developing over the pennines through the midlands, and the risk of some thundery downpours in eastern scotland and the northeast of england. those temperatures not that exciting really. 18—19 degrees, i think, quite widely so still a little on the cool side. but that low pressure is taking the rain away, the showers that follow will fade during tomorrow evening, and we'll start to see higher pressure approaching the uk. there are still some weather fronts lingering out in the atlantic that will eventually arrive in the far northwest, and ahead of that, the odd shower is possible in western scotland over the pennines and north wales. but on the whole — a drier day, some sunshine, light winds, getting a bit warmer. nothing too startling, but an improvement on what we've seen 23, maybe 2a, in some eastern parts of england. now we do have some weather fronts to bring some rain into the northwest on thursday, but ahead of that, we're drawing up
8:57 pm
some warmer air on that gentle southerly breeze. it does mean the highest temperatures are going to be across more southeastern parts of the uk, where we could reach 25 degrees for the first time this month. that just shows you how cool it's been. temperatures could get even higher, i think, on friday for southeastern parts, but then it cools down into the weekend as we start to see that rain moving down further from the northwest.
8:58 pm
