champions england are in sweden and can secure their place at euro 2025 of they avoid defeat tonight. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. gareth southgate has resigned as england manager, after the three as england manager, after the three lions�* defeat by spain in the euros final on sunday. he led the side for eight years, taking them to world cup quarter and semifinals and two european championship finals. but he never won a major trophy and says now is the time for change. our sports news correspondent natalie pirksjoins us live from wembley. natalie, an emotional statement released by gareth southgate — what more has he said? very emotional, coming clearly after an tournament that took its toll. he

said managing england has been the owner of his life. what stands out is how much he loves the players, the staff, the pride and privilege he felt leading a group of players he felt leading a group of players he says can win the trophy we all dream of. what is also significant is he talks about how england fans should understand the power that football has to drive positive change. he has had to tackle a lot of social issues in his time as manager including players taking the knee and waiting the rainbow armbands in support of the lgbtq community. he ended by thanking his backroom staff and fans calling them the best in the world and finish with thank you for everything. his legacy will be transforming the culture, playing a significant role developing players and england won just seven knockout games in 25 tournaments after 1966 and under gareth they won nine games. atjust

four tournaments, reaching the final of 20 02. a warming there are flashing images in this piece. eight years ago gareth southgate stepped into the void left unexpectedly by sam allardyce. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i said a few weeks ago some jobs are more difficult than others, some more difficult than others, some more complex, this is one of those. he proved this was not an impossible job. in 2018 this happened. england won theirfirst world job. in 2018 this happened. england won their first world cup penalty shoot—out. they would go out to croatia but southgate made fans

problem with the team again. these were the waistcoat years and southgate was the one. sport and football can _ southgate was the one. sport and football can really _ southgate was the one. sport and football can really bring _ southgate was the one. sport and | football can really bring connection for a country and it feels from what we are being told that is the case. england beat germany on their way to reaching the final against italy. southgate was on the brink of leaving england men to their first major trophy in 55 years, ending in heartbreak. his tactics were questioned and later his future. in the build—up to the qatar world cup england were humiliated by hungary. the reaction from the stands was poisonous and had a profound effect. two years on, after disappointing performances from his star—studded team at the euros, plastic beer cups were thrown at him. relations with the fans seemed strange to the point of breaking. the england bandwagon kept rolling. they are run to the

final got many back onside. sunday's defeat to spain in berlin would be southgate was my final act as england manager. in a statement today he said... it is time for a change and for a new chapter. there will be questions whether southgate has got the best from his talented team but the numbers tell a story. in eight years he took england to two finals and a semifinal. their most sustained period of tournament success could prove a tough act to follow. their fa said they hoped he would stay. he said he laid strong foundations for future success. the prince of wales treated as an england fan calling him an all—round class act. he said thank you for

creating a team that stands shoulder to shoulder with the worlds finest in 2024. to shoulder with the worlds finest in 202a. thank you for showing humility, compassion and leadership under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. the process for appointing southgate is now under way. the fa will hope that will be wrapped up before they start their nation's league campaign in september. if they have not they have an interim manager in mind. get ready for the speculation of who comes next. the fa will want the best for the job, that does not necessarily mean an england manager. unlike the past when managers had to stand here after being sacked or resigned, gareth southgate has got to do this entirely on his own terms after reaching a second successive final. whoever takes over has big shoes to fill but huge talent to work with.

the fa has confirmed the search for gareth southgate's replacement has already begun, and later in the programme we'll look at who might become england's next manager. a spanish court has confirmed that documents found on a body discovered in tenerife belonged to missing british teenagerjay slater, and that he most likely died due to a fall. a formal identification is yet to take place. 0ur reporter fiona trott is in the national parkjust north of masca in tenerife. fiona, what is the latest? like you say, this latest information really does lead us to believe that the body found here is that of jay slater, doesn't it? still waiting on course for the results of the postmortem examination and also formal identification. the high court see evidence so far suggests they had an accidentalfall. even down evidence so far suggests they had an accidental fall. even down to the area of the body was found is at the

same spot, we spoke to mountain rescuers three weeks ago. how close were they to finding the body and does this tell them more about how difficult research has been. you have seen the terrain, vegetation is thick, higher, slippery underfoot. there is something else happening in the ravine today. drone searches. these are not being carried out by the police, they are being carried out by volunteers. i charity the family have recruited you get a feeling while the police work continues and there are still a wait for the family, that is something out of their control and you get a feeling at least if they are recruiting volunteers it is information they can control and try and get more detail on about his latest movements. down in the ravine, where was the route that jay slater took? what else might have

been found to find some idea of why he was there after leaving a bar with two men in the early hours of the morning and coming up to the mountains?— donald trump has made his first public appearance since surviving an assassination attempt at a rally in pennsylvania on saturday. the former president appeared on stage at the republican national convention in milwaukee to cheers and rapturous applause from his supporters. he's now been officially confirmed as the party's candidate for the presidential election in november. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal was there. please welcome the next president of the united states, donald] trump. i with the visible sign of an assassination attempt, donald trump greeted the crowd defiantly, but he appeared subdued and emotional. earlier in the day, his sons arrived at the convention, the events of saturday still on their minds.

it was horrible. i'm sitting there watching with my children and, you know, my heart broke. my heart actually broke. it shouldn't have happened. the secret service agents on the ground did an unbelievable job, but it's heartbreaking. before nominating their own father, giving him enough delegates to be the presidential nominee. for the greatest president that's ever lived, and that's donald] trump. cheering. ..hereby declaring him the republican nominee. cheering. and there you have it. after all the controversy, the indictments and the conviction the republican party has officially nominated donald trump as their presidential candidate. and, as you can see, people are so elated. joe mullins was sat behind the trump family. that was amazing. it was one of the best experiences. i had tears in my eyes and i haven't cried like that since i lost my mother. as you can see, everybody here is happy right now, . everybody is rejuvenated right now,

and we're happy with the vp pick i from president trump. the vp — or vice president — is 39—year—old senatorjd vance. he found fame when his memoir about growing up in poverty became a netflix movie. but it's a dramatic u—turn for a man who was once "never trump." and i know you've been asked about this before, about past comments that you've made about donald trump. you've said, "i'm a never trump guy. "never liked him. "terrible candidate. "idiot if you voted for him." but in a new interview with fox news, he defended his comments. you literally said you texted a friend that trump is a cynical a—hole like nixon, who wouldn't be that bad and might even prove useful, and that he's america's hitler. what do you say to people that say, "well, wait a minute?" i was certainly sceptical i of donald trump in 2016, but president trump was a great. president and he changed my mind. i think he changed the minds . of a lot of americans, because,

again, he delivered that peace and prosperity. . if you go back to what i thought in 2016, another thing - that was going on, sean, . is i bought into the media's lies and distortions. after the assassination attempt, mr trump has called for unity. he is regularly accused of using violent language, but president biden's rhetoric has also been in the spotlight. in a new interview with nbc, he defended his recent comments that it was time to put trump in the bullseye. it was a mistake to use the word. i didn't say crosshairs. i meant bull's—eye. i meant focus on him. focus on what he's doing. president trump, president trump, how are you feeling? after donald trump lost his re—election four years ago, many republicans said it was time to move on from him. but nearly a decade after first getting to the top of the grand old party, it is now very much the party of donald trump. nomia iqbal, bbc news, wisconsin. 0ur north america correspondent nada tawfik is at the convention in milwaukee. nada, what does trump's choice ofjd vance tell us about his campaign strategy?

if we go back to 2016, donald trump was really trying to balance his ticket, trying to get evangelicals on board because he was a political newcomer with a selection of the indiana governor mike pence. fast forward eight years and that blog is firmly in his corner and a selection ofjd vance really shows he is doubling down on his america first agenda. jd vance in that fox interview said that trump told him when he called him that he thought he was the best guy to win midwestern key battleground states. i think donald trump is betting that jd vance will help win over white working—class voters in the so—called blue wall of michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, something he was able to do in 2016. trump is betting thatjd vance's biography as

someone who rose from poverty to serve as a marine, and ivy league graduate, to run a successful business, that all of that will resonate. they said jd vance's north star wars america and he would fight for the working class. donald trump sees him as a fighter who will defend him vigorously in this race, all ingredients, he thinks, for success. nada tawfik, thank you. the first minister of wales vaughan gething has announced that he's standing down just four months into the job. his decision comes after a dramatic morning, as four members of his government resigned, demanding that he leave office. last month, mr gething lost a confidence vote in the senedd, but decided to stay on in the role. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan is in cardiff. tomos, remind us first why vaughan gething's labour colleagues wanted him to quit? really, when he went forward to be

welsh labour leader, during that campaign towards the end of the campaign, there was a story that he had accepted £200,000 towards his leadership campaign and then he won leadership campaign and then he won leadership and became first minister and the controversy has never really gone away. it created a divide within welsh labour that has never really healed and subsequently since then, further issues have arose within the political scene in wales that have increased the pressure in that have increased the pressure in that divide within welsh labour. he sacked a former cabinet member for allegedly leaking messages to a news website, something she denies, he says there was evidence to show it was there. subsequently the news website that ran the story says it was not her and that actually gave him that information. that led to the cooperation agreement between welsh labour and plaid cymru breaking down then we had no—confidence vote a that he lost at the start of the general election campaign. he did not have to stand down because it was a non—binding vote but he stayed on. this morning

was the final straw when ministers and the council general resigned and earlier he read out a statement here in the senedd. it has been an extraordinary honour to do— it has been an extraordinary honour to do this _ it has been an extraordinary honour to do thisjob it has been an extraordinary honour to do this job forjust a few short months — to do this job forjust a few short months to _ to do this job forjust a few short months. to see the dedication of the public— months. to see the dedication of the public service of our civil servants and the _ public service of our civil servants and the dedication to civility from the welsh — and the dedication to civility from the welsh public. to see the election— the welsh public. to see the election of a new labour government in westminster and the fresh hope that that _ in westminster and the fresh hope that that brings for wales. what ha--ens that that brings for wales. what happens next? _ that that brings for wales. what happens next? of _ that that brings for wales. what happens next? of course, - that that brings for wales. wiat happens next? of course, labour will need to set out a timeline for bringing in a new welsh labour microlitre and possibly a new first minister, but because of the divide it will not be a crowning of a new welsh labour leader. who will go for it? jeremy miles, you would have thought, the leadership campaign contender against vaughan gething, but it will be a difficult road

ahead for welsh labour and unless the other members in the southern could agree that there could be a snap senedd election. the time is 13:17. our top story this afternoon... gareth southgate resigns as england manager, saying it's time for change, and a new chapter. and former strictly contestant zara mcdermott says watching videos of her training with graziano di prima is distressing, in her first statement since he left the show. coming up on bbc news: killian mbappe has been presented in front of real madrid fans at the bernabeu stadium following his free transfer from paris saint—germain. the largest piece of rainforest in southern africa is going to become a conservation area after dozens of new species of animals were found living there. it means the mabu forest in northern mozambique will be protected from harmful human activites like mining and logging.

0ur environment correspondent jonah fisherjoined the latest expedition to see some of its hidden gems. welcome to eden. welcome to the centre of mabu forest. this is about as good as it gets. there are still places on earth that humans have hardly touched. the forest is in excellent condition. the water is crystal clear. mabu forest is one of them. protected by mozambique's many wars, and its remote location, this place was, for a long time, only known to locals. then, 20 years ago, a mysterious dark green patch was spotted on satellite images by explorer and ecologist professorjulian bayliss. oh, my god! i mean, what have we discovered here? when he went to check it out on the ground, he couldn't believe his eyes. we found the largest rainforest in southern africa. what came next was a race against time to reveal mabu's secrets, in the hope that it would

lead to the forest being protected. we joined professor bayliss and a team of scientists on their latest expedition — looking for new species in the very heart of mabu. one of the reasons why mabu is so special is because it's effectively a land island — a high altitude forest surrounded by the lowlands of mozambique. and what that means for the creatures who live here is that they've evolved separately from other populations, making many of them unique. there it is. 0k, wait. so far, more than 25 new species have been found and formally described... come here. don't go away. ..including at least ten of professor bayliss's favourite — butterflies. bayliss ipoppiana. poppy's the name of my daughter, so this one is named after my daughter. it was like four metres up in a small vine.

there have also been new species of snakes, bats, crabs and chameleons. nadzikambia baylissi. it's a chameleon which is only found on mount mabu. in a stream just by our tents, erica thinks she's found a new freshwater catfish. i hope that we have a new species for this area. it's very exciting. amazing. you guys, are you sure you don't want to...? this is unique. meet the dung beetle specialist. hold on, hold on. i want to put on my gloves. he thinks he's found more than 15 new species on mabu and puts it down to the quality of his bait. basically, i'm using my faeces to... as a bait, to attract dung beetles here in the forest. so all over this part of the forest, there are probably dung beetles smelling your poo, thinking... that's correct! ..it�*s lunchtime. that's correct. no, i think this time around, maybe, is brunch.

when we speak to the mozambique authorities, there's more good news. they confirm for the first time that all the new discoveries have convinced them to turn mabu into a conservation area. for professor bayliss, it will mark the end of a two decade—long journey. we've now arrived at the end goal of protecting this forest. this is a conservation success story. kept hidden for so long, thanks to science, mabu's secrets should live on. jonah fisher, bbc news in northern mozambique. you can watch jonah's full expedition in "mabu, saving the secret forest" available on bbc iplayer now. now, a quick update on a story we brought you a few moments ago. a court in the canary islands has now confirmed that the body found in tenerife is that of missing british manjay slater, after identifying him from fingerprints.

they added that his death was most likely caused by an accidental fall in a rocky area. almost1 million children in the uk don't have a proper bed of their own to sleep in — according to research from the charity barnardo's. in hartlepool, teachers are working to provide 10,000 beds for children who are struggling to concentrate in lessons because they're not getting enough rest. lauren moss reports. packed up and ready to be delivered across the tees valley to families without a bed. head teacher mark tilling is part of a team that's raised money to buy 10,000 new beds for children turning up to school sleep deprived and exhausted. the idea is that if, for any reason, a child has not got a bed, we want to provide it and it could be the bed is broken, it needs replaced and theyjust haven't got the finances at the time. it could be that they've fled from domestic violence. it could be they've moved into the area and they haven't got any furniture. we just want to help. so these bunk mattresses

are a little bit thinner. mr tillings joined forces with leeds—based charity zarach, set up by mum and teacher bex wilson, to tackle bed poverty. there are many reasons families might not have enough beds. bex says some have to choose between paying to heat their homes, put food on the table or buy or replace a bed to sleep in. children sleeping on cushions in a bath. children sleeping in rooms... ina bath? yeah. a 14—year—old who'd been on a beanbag for six months. and, you know, some really difficult, hard situations with desperate parents to do better for their children. but caught in circumstances and crisis thatjust mean it's beyond their control. according to latest figures, a5 million children in the uk were living in poverty — what's defined as growing up in households with an income that's 40% below the national average after housing costs. 11%, orjust over1 in 10 children had to share a bed or sleep on the floor last year.

that's more than 890,000 children. the new labour government's under pressure to scrap the two child policy that prevents parents from receiving benefits forfurther children born after 2017, but quick fixes for struggling families are a challenge. i child poverty is an issue for us, i and we're absolutely appalled that children haven't got beds to sleep in at night — you know, this is the 215t century. this shouldn't be the situation. for bex and other teachers, building a strong foundation for a betterfuture is something so many depend on. lauren moss, bbc news. the tv presenter zara mcdermott has said watching videos of her time training with graziano di prima for strictly come dancing has been "incredibly distressing." he isn't taking part this year, and said he "deeply regrets" the events leading up to his departure from the programme. another of the show�*s professionals, giovanni pernice, is also out of the upcoming series as the bbc investigates his teaching methods.

our culture reporter, noor nanji, can tell us more. noor, what has zara mcdermott said about the way she was treated? sara mcdermott has posted a statement on instagram today, in it she said her experiences on strictly come dancing were everything she could have dreamt of but she said inside the training room her experiences were very different and she said there were videos of particular incidents that were extremely distressing to watch. she said she feared a public backlash if she spoke up and said she had gained the strength to face those fears and was now speaking up about her experiences. now, she appeared on the show last year with graziano di prima and she was last year's series and a source today said no complaints were made about his behaviour during that time. they did

say that a producer who attended a rehearsal asked him to be more considerate with his training, but they said that matter was resolved at the time to everyone's satisfaction. 0n at the time to everyone's satisfaction. on saturday the bbc confirmed he would not be taking part in this year's show. he has previously rejected allegations that his behaviour was abusive or threatening and said he is cooperating fully with the bbc�*s investigation. noor nanji, thank you. the new government has launched what it is calling "�*a root and branch review of the armed forces'. the strategic defence review is due to deliver its findings in the first half of next year. it will be overseen by the defence secretary, john healey, seen here on the left, and led by one of his predecessors, lord robertson, on the right, who has warned of what he described as the �*deadly quartet�* of china, russia, iran and north korea. all 11 water companies in england and wales will now be included in a major investigation by the regulator 0fwat, into whether sewage treatment works are polluting the environment.

it was opened in november 2021 looking atjust seven companies, but all will now be in its scope. the high court is hearing two legal challenges over controversial plans to open a new deep coal mine at whitehaven in cumbria. the new government has said the permission should be quashed. but the mine�*s developer, west cumbria mining, says it�*ll continue to fight against the challenges. a czech billionaire who wants to take over royal mail has told the bbc letters will still be delivered six days a week anywhere in the uk for the same price, for "as long as he�*s alive." daniel kretinsky�*s £3.6 billion bid still requires government approval. unions says they have grave concerns about it. he�*s been speaking exclusively to our business editor simonjack. things have changed a bit in the 500 years since royal mail was founded by henry viii. this is the man who wants to be the new owner, czech billionaire daniel kretinsky. so why should he be trusted

with such an historic and important asset? of course, in a way you can be paralysed by the great responsibility that comes from such a tradition, from such a name, from the importance of the company. but the answer for me was simple, because i truly believe that we can help now, and that we can contribute and we can play our little role, which can, however, be very important in the history of royal mail. royal mail is losing money, letter volumes are declining, and its market share in the profitable parcels business has plummeted. mr kretinsky has committed in writing to keep the one—price—goes—anywhere universal service for at least five years, but also made this personal promise. as long as i�*m alive, i completely exclude this, and i�*m sure that anybody who would be my successor would absolutely understand this. so why not put that in writing? because there are two different things. one thing is what is

clearly your commitment, and i say this as an absolutely clear, unconditional commitment — royal mail is going to be the provider of universal service obligation in the uk, unconditionally, and i would say forever. unions have grave misgivings about the proposed deal. i can't think of any other country in the world that would just hand over its entire postal service to an overseas equity investor. we believe that there needs to be a different answer that gives workers and customers a greater say over the future direction of the company. mr kretinsky has guaranteed no compulsory redundancies, but only until next year. but he insists his plan can help secure jobs and a brighter future. unions do understand as well that we are on the same ship, and that we need this ship to be successful. and if we are there, we don�*t have any real problems to deal with, because the sky is blue and it�*s blue for everybody. the unions can�*t stop this deal, but the government can, and will have the last word later this year. simon jack, bbc news.

the king and queen are continuing their tour of the channel islands with a visit to guernsey. they�*re attending a special sitting of the island�*s parliament, and giving a royal title to a local breed of goat. 0ur senior royal correspondent daniela relph is in st peter port. daniela, it�*s been a while since guernsey had a visit from a reigning monarch? that�*s right, almost 20 years since a reigning monarch visited guernsey. in the channel islands there is always a little light rivalry between jersey and guernsey, always a little light rivalry betweenjersey and guernsey, but i have to say guernsey has totally won when it comes to the weather. after the downpours onjersey when it comes to the weather. after the downpours on jersey yesterday, when the king and queen arrived today percent came out. their first engagement was the special sitting of the states of deliberation, the guernsey parliament. guernsey has its own government, laws and judiciary and the king presided over

our sports correspondant, natalie pirks, is at wembley. natalie, gareth southgate has stepped down. what happens next? well, we haven�*t had this for eight years. now there is a frenzied speculation that will start about who takes over. just eight weeks now before the next mega campaign begins in the nation�*s league in september. they will want someone to be in place before that but they say they have an interim plan if they haven�*t fulfilled the role yet by that point. they didn�*t want him to go, did they, the fa? and they very much hope that he stayed. but i think it was very obvious on sunday night from the way he was talking sometimes in past tense in interviews that the writing really was on the wall. they want the best person for the job, the was on the wall. they want the best person for thejob, the fa. that doesn�*t necessarily mean that it will be an english manager. pep guardiola has been linked just by

fans, who are desperate of course for him, his contract runs out next summer with manchester city. jurgen klopp, we know he is available in the fact that he is in a career break. they might be interested in talking to him, fans certainly are, if you speak to england fans. eddie howe once called the england job the ultimatejob. thomas howe once called the england job the ultimate job. thomas tuchel, howe once called the england job the ultimatejob. thomas tuchel, graham pot are available. frank lampard is available. having said that he made the impossiblejob possible, many people would be knocking the fa�*s door down for a job like this. gareth southgate has made england united again. a fantastic group of players has come through and he believes they can win a trophy. i am sure there will be plenty of managers today thinking, yeah, i would be up for thatjob. eight years in charge, 102 matches, two finals reached. what will his legacy be?

well, i think the obvious thing when you look at it in terms of the games one because before gareth, i think we can talk about bg, before gareth and aeg, after gareth. there had been 25 tournaments were only won the knockout matches. and then in gareth in charge there were nine knockout chances one. that will be his legacy he has change the culture in england from players who used to rock up and stick with their teams that they played with at club level to now creating a club at england. he has also brought lots of players through and really help the development of players. i think eight years in charge, he�*s done an absolute fantasticjob. but like you said, i think it is time for a new chapter. said, i think it is time for a new chater. . ~ said, i think it is time for a new chater. ., ~ i. , said, i think it is time for a new chater. . ~ ,, , . with euro 2024 already fading into the background, attention is fully on next year�*s women�*s euros in switzerland as the first phase of qualifying draws to a close tonight. all four home nations are in action with defending champions england

in gothenburg to face sweden. sarina wiegman�*s side will book their spot at the finals if they avoid defeat but they won�*t play for anything but a win. we�*re never playing a match to draw. we play a match to win. and even, like... what ijust said, when we win the game, we might even top the group, too. and of course we�*re dependant on france and everyone expects france to win. but you never know what happens in football. so we�*re approaching this game to win, and then we�*ll see what happens in the game, what we need to do. 0ur sport�*s correspondent katie gornall is in gothenburg ahead of tonight�*s match with sweden. lionesses captain leah williamson spoke of the importance of getting the job of qualification tonight. england are all business, katie. they are indeed, you are right. they are desperate to get the job done and book their place in switzerland next year and avoid those play—offs. not least, this is something that lia williams in spoken about, because it gives them more time to

defend further —— prepare for the defence of their title. theyjust need a point. if they want to finish as one of the top two sides of the group to go through automatically. sweden are tough opposition. they are ranked sixth in the world, they are ranked sixth in the world, they are a physical side, well—organised, tough to break down. when the two sides played each other back in april, it finished 1—1 and sweden actually have the best chance to win game. sarina wiegman want to see an improved performance from the one they had at wembley. england have found this qualification campaign a challenge. they really, really difficult group that also includes france the world number two side in ireland that qualified for the last world cup so there have been no easy games for them. having said that, theirform has been farfrom perfect. they have lacked a ruthless streak at times. struggling to put teams away. and they have struggled

to really be tight in defence at times too so if they do want an improved performance. if you want to look at the positives, look no further than the france game last month when they beat france 2—1, it changed the whole complexion of the group and it meant qualification is in their hands going into this final game. they will want to draw on that performance from last month and get the job performance from last month and get thejob done here. might make thank you, katie. scotland take on serbia at firhill later. they�*ve already booked their place in the qualifying play—offs. but there�*s still an incentive to finish top of the group. these games also affect the women�*s nations league. and scotland could go back into the top tier of that competition with a win. wales also go into their final qualifier top of the group and they�*re playing kosovo, a team who have lost all five games so far. so a point in llanelli this evening will take them into the top tier of the nations league, too. while also helping their playoff draw for euro 2025. and finally, northern ireland need

a win against bosnia to make sure of second place which would improve their draw for the playoffs in october. they go into the game at windsor park level on points with their opponents. french superstar kylian mbappe has been officially presented as a real madrid player in front of thousands of fans at the santiago santiago bernabeu. the 25 year old has joined the reigning champions league winners on a free transfer after his contract expired at paris saint—germain where he spent seven seasons. mbappe will wear the number nine shirt. brian harman has admitted that he was reluctant to hand back his claretjug ahead of the open golf which starts on thursday. the defending champion performed his ceremonial duties yesterday a year on from securing his first major at hoylake revealing his reluctance was driven partly because the claretjug turns out to be good notjust for red wine.

idrank i drank some unusually expensive wine. this is the coolest trophy in all of sports so i think it�*s deserving of all of the pageantry that is involved. that�*s it for now. keep up on the latest on gareth southgate on the bbc sport website and app. bamboo, which started being added to uk gardens about 20 years ago, is now causing huge damage to homes and buildings. the body was discovered not far from a house the authority saying his death was from multiple traumas in the mountainous area where his remains were found.— the mountainous area where his remains were found. joining me from tenerife is ourspain

documents found on the body that was discovered yesterday also were documents that belong to jay slater. so everything was already pointing to that notion that this was jay slater�*s body. that information, the forensic information obviously confirms that.— forensic information obviously confirmsthat. ., , confirms that. can you 'ust remind us of how this h confirms that. can you 'ust remind us of how this came _ confirms that. can you just remind us of how this came about? - confirms that. can you just remind us of how this came about? how l confirms that. can you just remind | us of how this came about? howjay slater was in the situation in the first place?— first place? well, this goes back almost a month, _ first place? well, this goes back almost a month, june _ first place? well, this goes back almost a month, june 17 - first place? well, this goes back almost a month, june 17 when i first place? well, this goes back. almost a month, june 17 when jay almost a month, june 17 whenjay slater went to a music festival on the island. he came back from the festival, went to the airbnb accommodation where he was staying, this is in the north—western corner of the island. quite a rural,

mountainous area of the island. he went back there and the last time he was seen was on monday the 17th of junein was seen was on monday the 17th of june in the morning. he was seen by a woman who was trying to give him directions, explaining to him time that bus was going to leave from nearby his accommodation. he obviously didn�*t take that bus and he went off walking. and that was when people lost track of him. now, he did make some phone calls, at least one or two phone calls around that time. for example, he made a phone call to a friend at some point that morning to say that his battery on his phone was extremely low, down to 1% and that he had cut his leg on some vegetation and he didn�*t have any water. he seemed to be in some trouble. and that was the last trace

of him. phone signals from around that time that the police had. and then he disappeared. so that was the circumstances of his disappearance injune circumstances of his disappearance in june 17. we circumstances of his disappearance injune17. we are now almost a month after that. but this was an area of tenerife which was quite secluded, parts of it, a rural area. and that�*s where the search for him was taking place. and that's where the search for him was taking place-— was taking place. tella is a bit more about — was taking place. tella is a bit more about that _ was taking place. tella is a bit more about that search - was taking place. tella is a bit more about that search on - was taking place. tella is a bitj more about that search on the was taking place. tella is a bit - more about that search on the kind of terrain that the rescuers would have been trying to find him in and also, there was some suggestion that the search ended and then resumed. can you tell us more about that? well, the search began almost

immediately as soon as his friends and family alerted the authorities. the civil guard which is the police force which is present in rural areas in spain for example in tenerife. they are charged with those tasks of searching for missing people. they started to coordinate the search and it was fire services and other rescue services as well looking for him in the area around the little town where he had been staying and where the airbnb was in the north—west of the island. they started the search in the area. the problem with that search was the terrain. it�*s an area of tenerife which is extremely rocky, there are lots of cliffs, gorges, a lot of

thick vegetation. if you wander off a pass in that area, it�*s very easy to see how you might run into trouble. 0n the one hand, it could make it very easy for someone to run into trouble but it also makes it difficult for people who are searching for someone who has gone missing as well. police from the very start were underlining how difficult it was to carry out the search. in those conditions because they were looking down ravines, for example, trying to see if there was a body at the bottom. they say they were using all the means at their disposal which included sniffer dogs and drones and even helicopters at one point. so it was a difficult search, that was very clear from the start. you mention the fact that the

search appeared to end at one point. that was on june the search appeared to end at one point. that was onjune the 30th. the authorities said that they were calling off the search even though the investigation itself remained open, the case remains open. so, in theoryj slater was no longer being looked for by authorities and that surprised people they felt that the search should carry on. but the authorities were still looking for him after that and they had been looking for him in the two weeks since the search was supposedly called off. the feeling is that the authorities took that decision because they were trying to lower the profile of this case which has received so much attention particularly in the uk and they were trying to discourage people from, for example, travelling over from the uk or other countries and trying

to get involved in the search. people with online presence who were doing that. and the police intended to carry on the search but they wanted to keep other people away from it. ~ . ., wanted to keep other people away from it. ~ .., . ~ from it. ok. we will come back to ou from it. ok. we will come back to you shortly- _ from it. ok. we will come back to you shortly- but _ from it. ok. we will come back to you shortly. but let's _ from it. ok. we will come back to you shortly. but let'sjust - from it. ok. we will come back to you shortly. but let'sjust move i from it. ok. we will come back to | you shortly. but let'sjust move on you shortly. but let�*s just move on to our correspondent who is injay slater�*s home in lancashire. can you just tell us how the local community has reacted to this news?— has reacted to this news? well, it's the news that _ has reacted to this news? well, it's the news that everyone _ has reacted to this news? well, it's the news that everyone had - has reacted to this news? well, it's the news that everyone had sort . has reacted to this news? well, it's the news that everyone had sort of| the news that everyone had sort of been expecting over the past 2a hours but nevertheless, the formal confirmation has come as a shock. this is a very small close—knit community, a small town sandwiched between blackburn and upington, it�*s the sort of place where everyone knows everyone else. i arrived

still in tenerife, is that correct? yes, that�*s right. the family ofjay slater has been out here since the search for him began. his father and mother and older brother had been out here and they remain out here, we understand that they are in close contact with the local authorities as the whole process has taken place. first of all... now the administration for the identification of the body was found. the forensic process is still not clear what phase that is out. we know that the preliminary forensic results showing that this is the body of jay slater. for example and the cause of death. but i think in the cause of death. but i think in the forensic examination, the results of it, they could be further

results of it, they could be further results that come out. i am told that they could be some kind of investigation from the uk as well. we don�*t how long the family are expected to remain out here but seemingly now that we have got to this stage with the finding of the body, there will be a certain amount of administration but after that you would think that the family would be able to return home.— able to return home. thank you very much. able to return home. thank you very much- let's — able to return home. thank you very much- let'sjust _ able to return home. thank you very much. let'sjust briefly _ able to return home. thank you very much. let'sjust briefly go _ able to return home. thank you very much. let'sjust briefly go back - able to return home. thank you very much. let'sjust briefly go back to i much. let�*s just briefly go back to nick forfinal thoughts. as much. let�*s just briefly go back to nick for final thoughts. as you can say, this is the worst news of this community was wanting to her and they have paid amusing tributes to jay slater. they have paid amusing tributes to ja slater. , ., , , they have paid amusing tributes to ja slater. , . , , ~ jay slater. they have, yes. we exect jay slater. they have, yes. we expect more — jay slater. they have, yes. we expect more of— jay slater. they have, yes. we expect more of those - jay slater. they have, yes. we expect more of those tributes | jay slater. they have, yes. we i expect more of those tributes to come in here at the church tonight. the building at the front of the church, there is a single lit candle stood next to a framed photograph of jay slater who is there with a big
