the prince and princess of wales have tweeted, saying... "thank you for creating a team that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world's finest in 2024. thank you for showing humility, compassion, and true leadership, under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. and thank you for being an all—round class act. you should be incredibly proud of what you've achieved." in the last few moments we've had a statement from the uk prime minister sir keir starmer, who posted this on his social media.

that lengthy statement just that lengthy statementjust issued by the prime minister. 0ur sports correspondent, natalie pirks, is at wembley. natalie, the fa had hoped this wouldn't happen, but perhaps we were rather expecting it?— rather expecting it? yeah, think that's fair to _ rather expecting it? yeah, think that's fair to say _ rather expecting it? yeah, think that's fair to say and _ rather expecting it? yeah, think that's fair to say and i _ rather expecting it? yeah, think that's fair to say and i think - rather expecting it? yeah, think that's fair to say and i think you | that's fair to say and i think you can hearfrom some of that's fair to say and i think you can hear from some of the interviews he gave on sunday after that crushing defeat that he was talking in the past tense in many of them,

think he had made up his mind a long time ago. he often said he didn't want to overstay his welcome and there were some issues and moments during the euros were perhaps the fans were not quite with him, that has clearly ta ken fans were not quite with him, that has clearly taken its toll. he said it's been the honour of his life to play and manage england and said he has given it is all but it's time for a new chapter. what really stood out for me was the pride and a privilege that came oozing through it, how much love is cut for those players and how much pride he has felt in leading a group of players that he says can win the trophy we all dream of. what is also significant was that he talked about england fans now understanding the power of that figure has to drive positive change and you can see during his time how he was at the forefront of social issues, the team were taking the knee, they were wearing rainbow armbands for example ahead of the qatar world cup, and he has really driven that and had to answer some very difficult

questions. he ended with banking his backroom staff and england fans, calling them the best fans in the world and he finished with thank you, england, for everything. i think it is will be in transforming the culture of ink that were used to have players turn up on their clubs and only sit with the players they already knew, he has made england into almost a mini club in that sense and he has been really responsible for driving that change. but i think the key thing that england fans will take from his time is that since 1966, and 25 tournaments, they had only won seven knockout matches in just four —— and in just four tournaments under gareth southgate they won nine. there is the true story of gareth southgate's rain by kitty corner under warning that there are flashing images in this piece. they say when one door closes, another one happens. eight years ago gareth southgate

stepped into the void left unexpectedly by sam allardyce. england because my humiliation against iceland are still hung in the air and against iceland are still hung in the airand the against iceland are still hung in the air and the challenge facing this inexperienced international manager was huge. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i said a few weeks ago some jobs are more difficult than others, some more complex, this is one of those. true to his word, southgate went on to prove that this wasn't an impossible job. to prove that this wasn't an impossiblejob. he changed the culture and the team, and then in 2018, this happened. england won theirfirst 2018, this happened. england won their first world 2018, this happened. england won theirfirst world cup penalty shoot—out. they would go out in the semifinals to croatia but southgate had made fans following up with the team again. these were the waistcoat years and southgate was the one. sport, but football in particular can really bring connection for a country, and it feels somewhat we've been told in the bits we are seeing that that is the case. that been told in the bits we are seeing that that is the case.— been told in the bits we are seeing that that is the case. at euro 2020, en . land

that that is the case. at euro 2020, england beat _ that that is the case. at euro 2020, england beat germany _ that that is the case. at euro 2020, england beat germany on _ that that is the case. at euro 2020, england beat germany on their - that that is the case. at euro 2020, england beat germany on their way | that that is the case. at euro 2020, | england beat germany on their way to reaching the final against italy. southgate was on the brink of leading england to their first major trophy in 55 years, but it ended in heartbreak. his tactics were questioned and later his future, as in the build—up to the qatar world cup, england were humiliated 4—0 hungary. there —— the reaction from the stands with dell it was poisonous. after some disappointing performances at the euros, plastic beer cups were thrown at him. relations with the fans seemed strange to the point of breaking but the england bandwagon kept rolling in their run to the final godmane back onside. sunday's 2—1 defeat to spain in berlin would be the final breaking point. he said...

there will be questions as to whether southgate 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, the most sustained period of tournament success will stop that could prove a tough act to follow. well, the process for appointing his successor begins right now and the fa will of course want the best person for the job, that doesn't necessarily mean they will be english. the campaign gets underway injust eight weeks' english. the campaign gets underway in just eight weeks' time, in september. they want someone in place before that but the fa says there is a plan, an interim plan in place if they haven't. 60 million armchair managers have an opinion on the england manager, they have thrown plenty of names into the hat. jurgen klopp of course, he is currently on a career break, guardiola, his contract runs out in city at the end of next season.

eddie howe, he once called the england job the ultimate job, he eddie howe, he once called the england job the ultimatejob, he is the current newcastle boss and there are plenty of other managers who are currently without jobs or are plenty of other managers who are currently withoutjobs or posts. so for the next eight weeks, get used to this, it will be frenzied speculation from fans but i think one of the key things i will take from today is how glowing the people have spoken of gareth southgate. he was fantastic with the media and perhaps at times he may have been criticised by pundits and the media but he took it very well and he was always a joy, frankly, to deal with. so is interesting now that you are seeing lots of people coming out and praising him, the prime minister, the fa of course, prince william as we already mentioned, normally we are stood here at wembley dissecting what went wrong, but gareth southgate has been able to leave entirely on his own terms so whoever takes over has big shoes to fill and a huge talent pool to work with. natalie, thanks very much.

let's return to that breaking news confirmation that a body discovered in tenerife has been identified as the missing british teenagerjay slater. i want to take you to our live page, becausejust in slater. i want to take you to our live page, because just in the last few minutes, the first reaction from the family itself stop our hearts are broken, says jay slater�*s mother, speaking just in the moments after the confirmation coming from the courts in spain of her son's death, saying it is the worst news, ijust death, saying it is the worst news, i just cannot believe death, saying it is the worst news, ijust cannot believe this could happen to my beautiful boy. 0ur happen to my beautiful boy. our hearts are broken, she says. there is a lot more reaction and updates in terms of the searches and family friends talking, but the mother of jay slater there, her first comments, just to recap what we heard at the top of the hour from our reporter giving us the details

that had come from the court, saying that had come from the court, saying that the death was caused by trauma consistent with a fall in a rocky area. and using fingerprints as well to establish the identity of jay slater. so, that's the latest reaction coming in, do head to our live page, it is constantly being updated on the story as more details come in. we return now to the resignation of gareth southgate. let's speak now to the former the executive director of the football association, david davies. david, welcome to the programme. your reaction, first of all? i’m your reaction, first of all? i'm sad, matthew, _ your reaction, first of all? i'm sad, matthew, but _ your reaction, first of all? i'm sad, matthew, but i _ your reaction, first of all? in sad, matthew, but i can't say i'm shocked stop and i'm delighted that there are so many tributes from so many different sources about what gareth has achieved in eight years

and 102 matches. the right time to leave, for my part, i thought it might have been two years ago, but gareth, rightly, with the persuasion of my successors inside the fa, has stayed on to have one last go at this tournament, and you know what he's achieved above all else? he has brought the fans and the players back into being in love with the england national team. and that isn't easy to do. you are already talking quite rightly about who will be the successor, and the thing that people forget, and i've been involved in helping to choose a successor, is that hugely successful club managers do not necessarily end “p club managers do not necessarily end up as successful international managers, because it's a very, very differentjob. for example, you may play one game a month and in summer

months, no game at all, and then suddenly you have this intensity of tournament football. irate suddenly you have this intensity of tournament football.— tournament football. we will talk about successors _ tournament football. we will talk about successors in _ tournament football. we will talk about successors in a _ tournament football. we will talk about successors in a moment, l tournament football. we will talk l about successors in a moment, but you knew gareth as a player before he was a manager. what stood out for you in terms of his basic qualities? he is a thoroughly decent person. he has got a humility that isn't shared by everybody in a sport that is full of egos and all the rest of it. and he cared, and he learned all the way through his international career. people always remember the missed penalty in euro 96, that was agonising. awful, awful, awfulfor him and awfulfor the nation, but he went on to the world cup of 1998,

which also was agonising for everybody, and the euros in 2000, and then, you know, he went to another world cup, people forget that, he was injapan and nobody kicked a ball in anger but many will tell you he learned then an awful lot about the players who were not playing twice a week, were not in the intensity of being in the first team and were unlikely to get on. and he watched everything and he transferred that to his period as a manager. i transferred that to his period as a manauer. . w' transferred that to his period as a manauer. ., ., manager. i will ask you about chanauin manager. i will ask you about changing the _ manager. i will ask you about changing the culture - manager. i will ask you about changing the culture in - manager. i will ask you about changing the culture in a - manager. i will ask you about - changing the culture in a moment, but you have seen it at such close quarters, it really is one of the toughestjobs around, isn't it, in terms of the scrutiny and the criticism?— terms of the scrutiny and the criticism? , . , ., criticism? the scrutiny that might ardon criticism? the scrutiny that might pardon me- _ criticism? the scrutiny that might pardon me- i _ criticism? the scrutiny that might pardon me. i think— criticism? the scrutiny that might pardon me. i think that _ criticism? the scrutiny that might pardon me. i think that is - criticism? the scrutiny that might pardon me. i think that is the - criticism? the scrutiny that might pardon me. i think that is the big| pardon me. i think that is the big

thing. the scrutiny is so intense, particularly at these big tournaments, and the question is, how do you deal with that? most successful people in their lives do not have that level of scrutiny, and it can break people. and that's why i say that club managers have scrutiny, but not the same scrutiny that it scrutiny, but not the same scrutiny thatitis scrutiny, but not the same scrutiny that it is when the whole nation is behind you and relying on you, and thenis behind you and relying on you, and then is disappointed with you and then is disappointed with you and then can abuse you. and actually, this past month has been very typical of what an international manager's life can be like, that you have your downsides and return periods, and you're up period is, and the downs are very big ones. it's only a few weeks ago that people were throwing plastic cups at the person they are now praising so

highly. the person they are now praising so hiuhl . , , ., �* the person they are now praising so hiuhl. , , highly. yes, you're absolutely riaht, highly. yes, you're absolutely right. just _ highly. yes, you're absolutely right. just the _ highly. yes, you're absolutely right, just the way _ highly. yes, you're absolutely right, just the way it - highly. yes, you're absolutely right, just the way it can - highly. yes, you're absolutely right, just the way it can go . highly. yes, you're absolutely i right, just the way it can go from expectation, to the capturing, to what we saw in all the postmortems immediately after the game. just going back to his record, the faa put out what an interesting statistic, which was, we played 24 tournaments since 1966 or so before gareth we had only won seven knockout matches. in his four tournaments, we won nine. so that gives you an idea of the levels of success and the way he was able to lift england, except of course, he didn't get over the line, and that in the end can be critical.- didn't get over the line, and that in the end can be critical. look, he will be the — in the end can be critical. look, he will be the first _ in the end can be critical. look, he will be the first to _ in the end can be critical. look, he will be the first to admit _ in the end can be critical. look, he will be the first to admit that. - in the end can be critical. look, he will be the first to admit that. he l will be the first to admit that. he didn't get over the line, but he got very, very close to it, and the great thing is, i can remember strategic reviews and all the rest of them and looking into what we

should be doing at international level, and a big aim was to be as consistently successful as particularly the germans, tournament after tournament, getting to semifinals, getting to finals, and gareth has achieved that in a quite remarkable way. and as i say, he has brought the players, young players particularly, he had that great experience as an u21 manager, and brought some of those players to the senior team and built with them and has gone with the fans. a number of people used to patronise gareth and they said, you know, gareth southgate, typical fa person, rather too nice, and all that stuff. which is just so ridiculous too nice, and all that stuff. which isjust so ridiculous in too nice, and all that stuff. which is just so ridiculous in this day and age. isjust so ridiculous in this day and ate. ~ ., ., isjust so ridiculous in this day and ae. ~ ., ., ., and age. we are running out of time so 'ust and age. we are running out of time so just quickly. _ and age. we are running out of time so just quickly. he — and age. we are running out of time so just quickly, he talked _ and age. we are running out of time so just quickly, he talked about - so just quickly, he talked about potential successors, who would you

the resignation of gareth southgate. vaughan gething has quit as the first minister of wales, just four months into the job. he said he will "begin the process of stepping down as leader of the welsh labour party and recognised that "rebuilding and renewal" was "not possible" under his leadership. it comes after four welsh ministers resigned this morning — calling for the first minister to stand down. mr gething has come under criticism in recent months over a series of rows concerning donations he took while running to be welsh labour leader. let's take a listen to vaughan gething addressing the senedd a short time ago. i wanted to give power to those without a voice, to help to make our country a better place for all of us. that has always been my motivation. i campaigned to help create the senedd, clocking up 30 years of work to support wales's devolution journey.

years of work to support wales's devolutionjourney. this has been an incredibly difficult time for me and for my family. a growing assertion that some kind of wrongdoing has taken place has been pernicious, politically motivated and patently untrue. i have worked hard, follow the rules and done really difficult and demanding jobs for my country. in 11 years as a minister, i have never, ever made a decision for personal gain, have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial position stop my integrity matters. i have not compromised it. i regret that the burden of proof is no longer an important commodity in the language of our politics, and i do hope, for all our sakes, that that can change. i will now discuss with

the welsh executive of my party a timetable for the election of a new leader of welsh labour. i will then confirm a timetable to formally stand down as the first minister of my country. let's get more on how all this came about and speak to our wales political correspondent lucy vladev. this, why did it get to crunch point today, and in terms of reaction, take me through it.— today, and in terms of reaction, take me through it. well, people have not been _ take me through it. well, people have not been backwards - take me through it. well, people have not been backwards in - take me through it. well, people i have not been backwards in coming forwards about this. plaid cymru have set the chaos in labour in the past few months has been unthinkable, that has been echoed by the conservatives and the green party of have said that vaughan gething's resignation is long overdue. vaughan gething has only beenin overdue. vaughan gething has only been in charge here forfour months, elected on the 20th of march, but that short amount of time doesn't quite convey the amount of drama that's been going on. first of all

he had questions about a £200,000 donation made by a businessman who was convicted of environmental offences, and then we have had the issue of one of his ministers who was sacked for leaking messages to the press. vaughan gething said she had to go because she was the source of that leak, but the minister involved has said she was not the source of the information that got the press and in fact the news agency that published the story also said that she was not the source of that information. he did actually face a no—confidence vote as well last month, which he lost, but refused to stand down and actually, until relatively recently had the backing of the labour party, including keir starmer on his visit to wales. at the past few days, the tone has changed. 0ne to wales. at the past few days, the tone has changed. one of the other competitors for the post refused to give him his support during an

interview and today we have had four ministers resigning. so what happens now? and other contest is under way, as vaughan gething says he will step aside and let... as vaughan gething says he will step aside and let. . ._ aside and let... lucy, thank you for that. 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 donaldj 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. he was sat behind the tran family.

"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 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 bull's—eye. 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. now it's time for

a look at the weather. hello. 0vernight last night some eastern parts of england had about a half of months worth of rain you may have heard it or been cut in it. that rain has moved away as this area of low pressure moves into the north sea. it leaves behind a bit of sunshine here and there. temperatures are a bit disappointing for this ten year, 19 or 20 degrees. for the rest of the week, that is going to change because temperatures will be climbing. it may get to 30 degrees by the end of the week. the north—west will be much drier, as well. we had some slow—moving thundery showers affecting the north as we had read the afternoon. showers elsewhere will tend to fade away quickly. the once further north will take a bit longer to move out. it will be dry overnight, skies were clear and temperatures will be in

double figures. flag patches and plenty of sunshine to come and a decent day for tomorrow. temperatures rise and cloud will bubble up a little. there is a low risk of one or two showers around. 0n the whole, it will be dry. light winds will make it feel warmer, as well. temperature starting to pick up well. temperature starting to pick up tomorrow. getting into the low to mid 20s in the south—east of england for the first time this month. it's nothing startling, butjust shows you how cool it has been. towards the north—west, we are going to find some weather fronts pushing the north—west, we are going to find some weatherfronts pushing in occasionally. ahead of that we had this generally gentle breeze. there could be showers around on thursday which could be confined to scotland and northern ireland. scotland and wales will have sunshine developing. in the south—east of england there could be 27 or 28 degrees. it will

not be as warm as you move into scotland and northern ireland where there is a bit more cloud around on friday and perhaps a bit of rain 25 north—west. but in many parts it is going to be a dry day and friday. there will be more sunshine around. there will be more sunshine around. the warmth may push a bit more noise. the highest temperatures 29 or 30 degrees likely in the south—east. hello. let's return to the news that gareth southgate has resigned as the manager of england. his departure comes two days after england lost to spain in the euros final. days after england lost southgate said it was time for change. the football association said that southgate had transformed the england team over the last eight years and delivered unforgettable memories. gareth southgate led england to back—to—back finals of the euros, but fell at the final hurdle in both 2021 and 2024.

well, we've been getting reaction since the news broke. here's just a flavour from some of the people we've talked to reacting to the decision and considering southgate's legacy. not surprised, to be fair. i think, you know, gareth has had a really good stint, as you say, eight years. there's a lot of pressure on on him. and people forget their families. you know, the direct families have have to live through it, as well. and he's given it his all. he's done very well. he's got us to finals of competitions. and i think he realises that, you know, it's probably his time to go and give somebody else a chance. and he's done it in typical of gareth, you know, a very classy, direct way. you know, he's not messed around. he probably made his mind up as soon as the final whistle went or even before that, if they didn't win it. so yeah.

well done, gareth. and now the search starts. if you look back through history at the england team, they've very often bounced from... flip—flopped from one type of manager to another. they think that when a manager leaves, everything's wrong. they need to sort of rip it up and start again. go with the opposite approach. i think this time they need they need continuity. they need to build on what gareth southgate has done. because if you look at his ten years, eight years, he leaves with a really strong, positive legacy. i know he will get criticism for not winning tournaments, but we've talked previously about managers who have not had any kind of positive legacy. not even competed at tournaments, not won any sort of big knockout games. southgate has repeatedly done that. he's done a really good job. he's being sort of thanked and applauded on his way out of the building. and yeah, they need someone who can do the same and...

but just better. well, i will give gareth credit for is for making this - decision so quickly. he could have let it go- on fora couple of weeks and let the rumour mill keep going. but he decided pretty quickly that, you know, the time is up for him. i he probably knew during - the tournament, maybe even before the tournament, i that this would be his last. so i'm glad it's out of the way- and that we can now move forward. people give a level of respect and humility and grace to the job. you know, there was... the animosity between the england team and the media seemed to disappear with him. he brought along a group of young players who seemed to enjoy playing for their country again, and the fans seemed to take to him. i mean, they were underwhelmed by him at the start. but by the end, they wanted to wear his waistcoat, you know, and they really seemed to admire him. so i think he'll go down as one of the best english managers we've ever had. let's speak to the former fa ceo, mark palios now. welcome here to bbc news. he sort of

indicated even before the euros got going that he needed to win it. so were you surprised by today's announcement? i were you surprised by today's announcement?— were you surprised by today's announcement? , , ., , �* announcement? i supposed i wasn't sur - rised announcement? i supposed i wasn't surprised but — announcement? i supposed i wasn't surprised but it _ announcement? i supposed i wasn't surprised but it could _ announcement? i supposed i wasn't surprised but it could have - announcement? i supposed i wasn't surprised but it could have gone - surprised but it could have gone either way. surprised but it could have gone eitherway. i surprised but it could have gone either way. i heard a good comment on this which is that gareth has earned the right to make his own decision which means that the association should be behind and if you wanted to stay. equally if he decided he wanted to go he should do that. he did a fantasticjob while he was in post. what is one of the more difficult managerial positions in football. , ., ., in football. understatement of the ear! i in football. understatement of the year! i mean. _ in football. understatement of the year! i mean, before _ in football. understatement of the year! i mean, before southgate, l year! i mean, before southgate, there were some dark days for the fa. in terms of how he changed, what he changed, give me your assessment. what people have to do is look at

the successful production line of talented players coming through. of course, that is a major aspect to why we have improved from being a corder file why we have improved from being a corderfile —— record theirfinal team to a semifinal team. i know there is a lot of people at the fa who have contributed to that. we were looking at the spanish system and the french system and in 2007, we changed the coaching system. ten years later, it took ten years, we became the under 17 world champions. so i think people have to understand that there are football processes behind the scenes and that is one of the difficulties of bringing in a club managerfrom basically club centre... although it is changing,

manager leagues, individuals and processes are thrown out the window and you change again. what gareth bratt was a knowledge of the development teams. a knowledge of the development players, as well. they were able to transition more smoothly into the role.— smoothly into the role. yes. and et, smoothly into the role. yes. and yet. when _ smoothly into the role. yes. and yet. when you — smoothly into the role. yes. and yet, when you look— smoothly into the role. yes. and yet, when you look at _ smoothly into the role. yes. and yet, when you look at a - smoothly into the role. yes. and yet, when you look at a country. smoothly into the role. yes. and i yet, when you look at a country like spain, of course, winners on sunday, but they won the world cup in 2010 and this side they were able to renew with a new squad. what have they done that england had not been able to do? ~ ., , able to do? well, i think it is important — able to do? well, i think it is important to _ able to do? well, i think it is important to look— able to do? well, i think it is important to look at... - able to do? well, i think it isj important to look at... when able to do? well, i think it is - important to look at... when squads arrive, part of the difficulties of the job is that you don't have these players 20 47. they come from different clubs, centres, managers... if you are in a

transition period where are you moving from inexperienced to experienced players, then it is difficult really to see and move them into a coherent team instead of individuals. there is an element of timing and what we saw in the tournament. it was years before spain migrated from being a successful development team to actually winning the big things. i suppose the point i was making, though, is that they have started to win the big things with different teams. though have been able to replicate it time after time. i mean, the players love playing for him. you only have to see the reaction to the run—up to the

tournament and this reaction. that is a positive one hand but it can also be a negative. perhaps being too loyal, not flexible enough? i appreciate your point, but i think if i was to look at what i would want in terms of a culture around a team, at the end of the day you do have to do what your coach wants you to do on the pitch. yes, there should be challenging senior players to do that, so yes, i can appreciate that, but if i was to choose between one thing or another, i would choose the team that actually respected the manager and his team plasma coating. because today there is a lot of input. more thanjust because today there is a lot of input. more than just the manager's view. a lot of data is going into this process. view. a lot of data is going into this process-— view. a lot of data is going into this process. view. a lot of data is going into this rocess. ., ., , ., this process. there are millions of armchair managers _ this process. there are millions of armchair managers out _ this process. there are millions of armchair managers out there, - this process. there are millions of armchair managers out there, as l armchair managers out there, as

well, adding to the pressure. the mere thought because you know this from being there at the fa. tell me more about what you think they will be doing now as they hunt for a successor, whether they want a new english manager, the considerations... give me an idea of the various factors at play. i considerations. .. give me an idea of the various factors at play.— the various factors at play. i would think that first — the various factors at play. i would think that first of _ the various factors at play. i would think that first of all, _ the various factors at play. i would think that first of all, they - the various factors at play. i would think that first of all, they will - think that first of all, they will have a short rest. you always do. i think they would go for somebody who understands the process in the development squad is the way it goes through and understands it to the extent that there is a smooth transition whilst they wait for the more formal appointments. transition whilst they wait for the more formalappointments. it transition whilst they wait for the more formal appointments. it may be that, like southgate, they accelerate him into the position. but the big problem for them is when you look at football and successful club managers, and other industries,

you would look at somebody who has succeeded in a similarjob. well, i don't think the managerjob relates to the broaderjob at the england manager has. he has to go out and make sure that he has good relationships with all of the premier league clubs. understand their problem. 0k, a premier league manager can do that, but the answer is that there is nobody who has a perfect cv for swapping straight into thejob and perfect cv for swapping straight into the job and it is a balance between finding someone they feel has got the right interpersonal skills, because that is a massive part of the job, both in terms of management of the media and stakeholders, including other clubs and players who may come from clubs that have vendettas. so it is

quite... the interpersonal skills are massively important. quite. .. the interpersonal skills are massively important.- quite... the interpersonal skills are massively important. yes, it is such a multifaceted _ are massively important. yes, it is such a multifaceted job. _ are massively important. yes, it is such a multifaceted job. you - are massively important. yes, it is such a multifaceted job. you are i such a multifaceted job. you are absolutely right in terms of taking club players, there had been so many spats between england manager and other managers. we haven't seen that with gareth southgate. a final addition to the list that you made, he was also able to reconnect with fans. . . ., he was also able to reconnect with fans. ., ., ,, ., fans. yeah, and i think with all due resect to fans. yeah, and i think with all due respect to gareth, _ fans. yeah, and i think with all due respect to gareth, i _ fans. yeah, and i think with all due respect to gareth, i just think - fans. yeah, and i think with all due respect to gareth, i just think he i respect to gareth, ijust think he was a great choice by the fa at the time. he demands respect because he did hisjob with dignity. i think it was atrocious that fans threw beer at him. at the end of the day he is at him. at the end of the day he is a guy that demands respect. but also you have to understand that fans want a winning side and that is what he gave them. he gave them competitions that we haven't seen. he gave them a final any major

competition on foreign soil which, again, something we never done. so i think we moved under his tutelage and managership from being a quarterfinal team to a semifinal and now final team. of course, that increases the expectation with the... the situation now is worse than 20 years ago because we have moved away from the media and television and towards social media. laughter we have to leave it there. thank you so much for taking time to speak to us here. . ., so much for taking time to speak to us here. ., ,, i. so much for taking time to speak to us here-_ we _ so much for taking time to speak to us here._ we will - so much for taking time to speak to us here._ we will have i us here. thank you. we will have more reaction _ us here. thank you. we will have more reaction here _ us here. thank you. we will have more reaction here in _ us here. thank you. we will have more reaction here in the - us here. thank you. we will have j more reaction here in the coming minutes. we will talk to the fans�* association group in 15 minutes so we can hear from the horse's mouth in the next few minutes.

or a coach. getting the job is one thing. - i want to do the job successfully. england were terribly perceived before gareth southgate came in. no fight. no identity. no belief. this is surely as bad as it's ever been for england. there was no connection from the fans. _ we was almost like a laughing stock. gareth southgate has changed the narrative around the squad. he made all the players open up on the eve of the 2018 world cup. he basically humanised the england squad again. he tells you as it is, he tells you where you stand. that's the most you can ask for in a new manager. someone that's honest. gareth southgate is a man of huge principles. - if you've got a man at the top of the helm with his culture, his respect, his values, these guys are going to follow suit and they're going to love it. there was this bond.

it's almost like father—son or older brother. you can see the players love him. they all want to play for that man. i owe gareth so much. he's been immense for me personally. gareth is... he's been absolutely fantastic to each and every one of us. ifeel a big part of it. is he's been in our shoes. let me tell you, that was tough at the time. he's lived what we're living. gareth southgate's experience i as a player have been absolutely fundamental to his - success as a manager. he gives me a lot of confidence and i can trust him. i'm always grateful for that. you've got a guy here that will take the

fear out of you playing football. we've had some incredible nights over the last seven, eight years. the only reason i did the job when i took it on was to tryi and bring success to england as a nation, and to try- and improve english football. that whole concept of service to the nation is embedded in gareth southgate. you're talking to probably the most patriotic guy that i know. i when i took thisjob, i'd had three i years as a premier league manager. i've now had 100 internationals, some of the biggest games - in world football. you learn all the time from that. he's a very, very strong individual. far tougher than advertised. we all want to be loved, right? when you're doing something for your country and you're a proud englishman and you don't feel that back, and when all you read is criticism, it's hard.

he's invested into these boys, not just as footballers, - but as human beings. we've been on this journey together. we've helped change the perception of england, the culture of england. that's a team that wants to do everything possible for the man who's leading them. someday we'll define me for others. but it won't for myself. wasn't that fascinating? more on that here — wasn't that fascinating? more on that here with _ wasn't that fascinating? more on that here with the _ wasn't that fascinating? more on that here with the rest _ wasn't that fascinating? more on that here with the rest of- wasn't that fascinating? more on that here with the rest of the - that here with the rest of the headlines— that here with the rest of the headlines in— that here with the rest of the headlines injust _ that here with the rest of the headlines in just a _ that here with the rest of the headlines in just a moment i that here with the rest of thel headlines injust a moment or that here with the rest of the - headlines injust a moment or two. now for— headlines injust a moment or two. now for the — headlines injust a moment or two. now for the weather. _

the weather is leaving behind some showers the rest of the day. amateurs are a bit disappointing for the rest of the year, typically 19 or 20 degrees. for the rest of the week, that is going to change because temperatures will be climbing to perhaps up to 30 degrees and away from the north—west will be drier, as well. we have some slow—moving thundery showers moving in 20 end of the afternoon. those well tend to fade away quickly. the ones in the north will take longer to turn into the night c. skies were clear later and temperatures will be in the low 20s. as temperatures rise in the low 20s. as temperatures rise in the low 20s. as temperatures rise in the sunshine, cloud will bubble up in the sunshine, cloud will bubble up a little and there is just a low risk of one are two showers. 0n the

whole, it will be dry. with right when an sunshine, it will feel warmer. getting into the low to mid 20s tomorrow. this could be the first time this month. it shows you how cool it has been. we will see some weather fronts pushing how cool it has been. we will see some weatherfronts pushing into here occasionally. we have this gentle southerly breeze. there could be a few showers around confined to scotland or ireland with sunshine developing across england and wales which will give the temperature is a boost once again. in the south east of england, it could get to 28 degrees. it won't be as warm as you move into scotland and northern ireland. again, a bit more cloud around friday. perhaps a bit of rain towards the north—west. for many of us it is going to be a dry day on friday. there will be more sunshine

and that warmer air may push a bit more noise, at least into north—eastern parts of england. the highest temperature is 29 or 30 degrees likely in the south—east.

live from london, this is bbc news. a body found in tenerife has just been identified as british teenagerjay slater — a spanish court says he suffered multiple injuries consistent with a fall. "time for a new chapter" — the words of gareth southgate as he resigns as england manager. wales's first minister vaughan gething quits, afterfour of his ministers step down. and donald trump makes his first appearance since surviving an assassination attempt — to a rapturous crowd. hello and welcome to bbc news. the mother of the missing british

teenagerjay slater has said "our hearts are broken" after a spanish court confirmed that the body discovered in tenerife was that of the missing teenager. the body was found not far away from a house he'd been visiting, near the village of masca. it's almost a month since the 19—year—old disappeared after going to a music festival. the court said that the death was caused by trauma consistent with a fall in a rocky area. 0ur correspondent guy hedgecoe, who's in tenerife for us, gave me the latest from here. i'm outside the headquarters of the local police, who have been leading the search forjay slater over the last month. we do now have this confirmation from the judicial authorities here that the body that was found yesterday by the mountain rescue unit of the local police was indeed that of jay slater. what we've been told is that fingerprints were taken to confirm that it was jay slater.

also, the judicial authorities said that the cause of death from the tests that have been carried out so far showed that it was a multiple trauma caused by a fall in a rocky area. i should also add that documents that were found on the body, it was discovered yesterday, also belonged to jay slater, so everything was pointing to the fact that this was the missing 19—year—old, but now we do have confirmation of that. and nickjohnson gave us this update from jay slater�*s hometown of oswaldtwistle in lancashire. it's the news here that people had sort of been expecting over the past 24 hours or so, but perhaps they were maybe hoping it wouldn't come. for the past month or so since jay's disappearance, blue ribbons have been placed throughout the town. this is a small tight—knit community

between accrington and blackburn and it is something that everyone here at the moment is talking about, everyone here seems to know somebody who knows somebody who knows jay and his family. this church i'm outside is a bit of a focal point now for the community to come and pay their respects to jay but also to support his family. in the past hour or so, some floral tributes have been laid outside the church, and this evening the doors of the church will open and people will be able to come in and pay their respects. we spoke to the vicar of the building behind me a short while ago, he says that jay and his family are in his thoughts and he wants somewhere for people to come together and grieve. but people here also want to know how and why young jay went to tenerife and lost his life.

in the last hour or so, we've had a statement from the uk prime minister, sir keir starmer, who posted this on his social media. natalie pirks is at wembley with the latest. i think it's fair to say and i think we can hearfrom some of i think it's fair to say and i think we can hear from some of the interviews he gave on sunday after that crushing defeat that he was talking in the past tense in many of them. i think he had made up his mind a long time ago, he had often said he didn't want to overstay his welcome, and there were some issues and moments during the euro where perhaps the fans were not quite with him and that has clearly taken its toll. he said it's been the honour of his life to play and manage england and said he has given it his all but it's time for a new chapter. what stood out for me in the press release was the pride and privilege

that came cruising through it, how much love he's got for those players and how much pride he has dealt leading a group of players that he says can win the trophy we all dream of. what is also significant as he talked about understanding power football has drive positive change and you can see during the time has been with england how he was at the forefront of social issues. that team were taking the knee, they were wearing rainbow armbands for example, in support of the lgbtq community ahead of the qatar world cup and he has really driven that and had to answer some very difficult questions. and he ended with thanking as backroom staff and england fans, calling them the best fans in the world, and he finished with, thank you, england for everything. i think his legacy will be transforming the culture of england, where you used to have players turning up from their clubs and only sitting with the players they already knew. he has made england in most into a mini club in that sense and he's brought in a lot

of players and been responsible for driving that change. but i think the key thing that england fans will take from his time is that since 1966, in 25 tournaments, they had only won seven knockout matches. in just four tournaments under circuit, they won nine including reaching successive back—to—back finals. here is the true story of gareth southgate's rain by our sports responded katie goranov. they say when one door closes, another one opens. eight years ago gareth southgate stepped into the void left unexpectedly by sam allardyce. england's humiliation against iceland still hung in the air and the challenge facing this inexperienced international manager was huge. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i said a few weeks ago some jobs are more difficult than others, some more complex, this is one of those. true to his word, southgate went on to prove that this wasn't an impossible job. he changed the culture and the team,

and then in 2018, this happened. england won their first world cup penalty shoot—out. they would go out in the semifinals to croatia, but southgate had made fans fall in love with the team again. these were the waistcoat years, and southgate was the one. sport, but football in particular, can really bring connection for a country, and it feels, from what we've been told and the little bits we've been told and the little bits we are seeing, but that's the case. at euro 2020, england beat germany on their way to reaching the final against italy. southgate was on the brink of leading england to their first major trophy in 55 years, but it ended in heartbreak. his tactics were questioned and later his future, as in the build—up to the qatar world cup, england were humiliated 4—0 by hungary. the reaction from the stands was poisonous. it had a profound effect. two years

on, after some disappointing performances at the euros, plastic beer cups were thrown at him. relations with the fans seemed strained to the point of breaking, but the england bandwagon kept rolling and their run to the final got many back onside. sunday's 2—1 defeat to spain in berlin would be his final act as manager. he said... there will be questions as to whether southgate 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. that could prove a tough act to follow. the process for appointing his

successor begins right now. it does not necessarily _ successor begins right now. it does not necessarily mean _ successor begins right now. it does not necessarily mean they - successor begins right now. it does not necessarily mean they will - successor begins right now. it does not necessarily mean they will be i not necessarily mean they will be english, the campaign gets under way just eight weeks' time for the nations league, they want to in place before that by the fa says there is a plan, interim plan if they haven't. 60 million armchair managers have an opinion on the england manager, they have thrown plenty of names into the hat, jurgen klopp the former liverpool boss, who is currently on a career break, pep guardiola, his contract runs out with manchester city at the end of next season, eddie howe, he once called the england job the ultimate job, he is the current newcastle boss, there are plenty of english managers who are currently without jobs, thomas tuchel, mauricio pochettino, so for the next eight 88 weeks, get used to this frenzied speculation. 0ne weeks, get used to this frenzied speculation. one of the key thing is i will take away is how have spoken of gareth southgate, he's been fantastic with the media and if

perhaps at times he was criticised by pundits and the media, he took it very well and he was always a joy, frankly, to deal with. so it is interesting now that we are seeing lots of people coming out and praising him. the prime minister, the fa of course, prince william, normally we are still here at wembley in the bowels of wembley dissecting what went wrong. gareth southgate has been able to entirely leave dictated on his terms, so whoever takes over as very big shoes to fill and a huge talent pool to work with. malcolm clarke is chair of the football supporters association. hejoins me now. the line is a slightly dodgy but let us hope it lasts! as a fan, your reaction to the news we had today. i'm disappointed, to be honest, because — i'm disappointed, to be honest, because i— i'm disappointed, to be honest, because i think his record on the field _ because i think his record on the field and — because i think his record on the field and in — because i think his record on the field and in tournaments has been excellent — field and in tournaments has been excellent. as your reporter said, he's _ excellent. as your reporter said, he's been — excellent. as your reporter said, he's been a _ excellent. as your reporter said, he's been a bit of a role model to everyone. — he's been a bit of a role model to everyone, he has created a club

england — everyone, he has created a club england spirit, the players have greatly— england spirit, the players have greatly respected him, and he's been a good _ greatly respected him, and he's been a good example and some of the social— a good example and some of the social issues. so i'm personally sorry, — social issues. so i'm personally sorry, but— social issues. so i'm personally sorry, but there will certainly be a lot of— sorry, but there will certainly be a lot of our— sorry, but there will certainly be a lot of our members who will probably take a _ lot of our members who will probably take a different view and think that the team _ take a different view and think that the team could have played more exciting _ the team could have played more exciting football, and that it is the right— exciting football, and that it is the right decision that he's made. i will the right decision that he's made. will come the right decision that he's made. i will come back to that point in a moment but plenty of contributors have talked about how he also changed the culture of the squad, but also reconnected with fans, did you feel that as a fan?— you feel that as a fan? yes, i did. but i you feel that as a fan? yes, i did. but i think— you feel that as a fan? yes, i did. but i think he — you feel that as a fan? yes, i did. but i think he comes _ you feel that as a fan? yes, i did. but i think he comes across - you feel that as a fan? yes, i did. but i think he comes across as . you feel that as a fan? yes, i did. but i think he comes across as a i but i think he comes across as a very— but i think he comes across as a very decent human being... am terribly sorry, we can say that the line has cut out. i'm going to

give up on that line, because it comes and goes, apologies for that, there was malcolm kirk, chair of the footballer so —— football supporters association. perhaps we can go back to him later. apologies for that. so the thoughts there from some of the fans to go together with all the pundits that we've been hearing from through the last little while. there is of course a lot of coverage on our live page, with so much reaction that there has been since that announcement was made, and of course now the fa looking for that successor, they have said they had contingency plans that they have now put into action, but of course their next game comes on september the 2nd so they don't have long. more on that a little later. vaughan gething has quit as the first minister of wales, just four months into the job. he said he will "begin the process of stepping down as leader of the welsh labour party and recognised that "rebuilding and renewal" was "not possible" under his leadership. it comes after four welsh ministers resigned this morning —

calling for the first minister to stand down. mr gething has come under criticism in recent months over a series of rows concerning donations he took while running to be welsh labour leader. let's take a listen to vaughan gething addressing the senedd a short time ago. i wanted to give power to those without a voice, to help to make our country a better place for all of us. that has always been my motivation. i campaigned to help create the senedd, clocking up 30 years of work to support wales's devolution journey. this has been an incredibly difficult time for me and for my family. a growing assertion that some kind of wrongdoing has taken place has been pernicious, politically motivated and patently untrue. i have worked hard, followed the rules and done really difficult

and demanding jobs for my country. in 11 years as a minister, i have never, ever made a decision for personal gain, have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial position. my integrity matters. i have not compromised it. i regret that the burden of proof is no longer an important commodity in the language of our politics, and i do hope, for all our sakes, that that can change. i will now discuss with the welsh executive of my party a timetable for the election of a new leader of welsh labour. i will then confirm a timetable to formally stand down as the first minister of my country. 0ur news correspondent lucy vladev is in cardiff for us and gave us this update.

well, people have not been backwards in coming forwards about this. plaid cymru have said that chaos in labour in the past few months has been unforgivable, that has been echoed by the conservatives and the green party have said that vaughan gething's resignation is long overdue. vaughan gething has only beenin overdue. vaughan gething has only been in charge here forfour months, elected on the 20th of march, but that short amount of time doesn't quite convey the amount of drama that's been going on. first of all we had questions about a £200,000 donation made by a businessman who was convicted of environmental offences, then we have had the issue offences, then we have had the issue of hannah blythyn, she was a minister who was sacked for leaking messages to the press. vaughan gething said she had to go because she was the source of that league. however, hannah blythyn has said she was not the source of the information they got to the press. in fact, the news agency that originally published the story also said that she was not the source of

that information. he did actually face a no—confidence vote as well last month. he lost that no—confidence vote refused to stand down and actually until relatively recently had the backing of the labour party, including keir starmer on his visit to wales. but in the past few days, the tone has changed. gary myles was running against him in the leadership contest, refused to give vaughan gething his support during an itv interview and today, we've had four ministers resigned. so what happens now? another leadership contest is under way as vaughan gething says he will step aside and let the future continue. 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, although didn't speak, at the republican national convention in milwaukee. there was rapturous applause and cheers 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 donaldj 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 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've never... "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 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 bull's—eye. 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. joining me now from the conference in milwaukee is the bbc�*s sumi somaskanda. let's start with donald trump, first of all. give me an idea, because you were there, what was it like being in the arena when he arrived in the reception he got? you in the arena when he arrived in the reception he got?— in the arena when he arrived in the reception he got? you know, i think the way you — reception he got? you know, i think the way you described _ reception he got? you know, i think the way you described it _ reception he got? you know, i think the way you described it as - the way you described it as rapturous applause was absolutely apt and it really was an emotional moment. to give you an idea, our booth for the bbc is just above the vip section so we could look down and see donald trump seated there with his family members and some of his closest allies and you could see

tears in the eyes of his family members, it really was remarkable, it took a while for people to sit back down again. i think what was especially interesting to observe was just how subdued president trump himself seemed to stop kelly and conway, one of his allies, was talking to media last night and said he looks like a man who knows that he looks like a man who knows that he has a second lease on life and indeed donald trump itself has talked about the fact that he realises that bullet was just inches away from causing real damage, and i think what was really interesting to watch as well is just how he was seated next to his vice president, jd vance, who is really the next generation of the party, and it did appear that trump could really feel the weight of the moment and saw all of his fans and supporters and the delegates cheering him on, it is quite a moment to behold. talking about that pic _ quite a moment to behold. talking about that pic for _ quite a moment to behold. talking about that pic for the _ quite a moment to behold. talking about that pic for the vice - about that pic for the vice president, johnny me more about that

in terms of what he brings to the ticket, how he widens support, does he widens support odyssey has dutchman has just gone for somebody totally loyal? dutchman has 'ust gone for somebody totall lo al? ., ,, dutchman has 'ust gone for somebody totauy royal?— totally loyal? perhaps both. ithink ou could totally loyal? perhaps both. ithink you could say _ totally loyal? perhaps both. ithink you could say he — totally loyal? perhaps both. ithink you could say he widen _ totally loyal? perhaps both. ithink you could say he widen support i totally loyal? perhaps both. ithink you could say he widen support in l you could say he widen support in the fact that he is young, his 39, a senator from the fact that he is young, his 39, a senatorfrom 0hio. the fact that he is young, his 39, a senatorfrom ohio. ohio is now a reliably republican state but it is in the midwest, and the midwest is an important region for the republicans where you do have battleground states like wisconsin or michigan, were donald trump would certainly like to win in november, but when it comes to policy, jd vance very much echoes donald trump's policies and what would be interesting for international listeners and viewers and world leaders is thatjd vance's towards allies and rivals marred mark some alarm. we know he has been very critical of support for ukraine, he said he believes the war is not winnable for ukraine and that ukraine must cede territory. he has

also said china is the us's base threat and the us should be redirecting much of its military aid to taiwan to protect against any sort of future invasion from china. by sort of future invasion from china. by coming back to your point, i think what donald trump probably saw injd vance is someone who very much will follow along with his policies and also represent the next generation of his movement, making america great again and that is something he will want to secure going forward. i something he will want to secure going forward-— going forward. i 'ust a final question h going forward. i 'ust a final question about i going forward. ijust a final question about joe - going forward. ijust a final question about joe biden, l going forward. ijust a final i question about joe biden, that it going forward. ijust a final - question about joe biden, that it he question aboutjoe biden, that it he gave on nbc, has all the talk about replacing him being put to bed or does is to have the potential in the coming days and weeks to flare up again? i coming days and weeks to flare up auain? . , coming days and weeks to flare up atain? ., , ., coming days and weeks to flare up auain? ., , again? i was having exactly the conversation _ again? i was having exactly the conversation with _ again? i was having exactly the conversation with some - again? i was having exactly the conversation with some other. conversation with some other journalists here last night. it seems that the conversation is somewhat being put to bed, many democrats believe this is not the moment specifically after the

assassination attempt on saturday to talk about replacing joe biden, but those conversations are still happening, certainly. the democrats have said they will hold a virtual roll call, some of your viewers might have seen the roll call where each state announces their candidates. they are expected to do a virtual roll call earlier... later this week. _ a virtual roll call earlier... later this week, excuse _ a virtual roll call earlier... later this week, excuse me, - a virtual roll call earlier... later this week, excuse me, that i a virtual roll call earlier... later i this week, excuse me, that would cement president biden's candidacy but some democrats are saying it is too early, we want to have a discussion about it at the convention. that being said, president biden seemed very clear in his interview that this conversation is going to be put to bed and he is not stepping aside and it will be increasingly difficult as time goes on for democrats to make the case otherwise. thanks very much indeed, we will talk again in the coming hours. but catch up with the weather.

hello there. 0vernight last night, some eastern parts of england had about half a month's worth of rain. you may well have heard it or been caught in it, but that rain has moved away as this area of low pressure is pushing away into the north sea. it's leaving behind a few showers through the rest of the day, and whilst there's a bit of sunshine here and there, temperatures are still a little disappointing for the time of year, typically 19 or 20 degrees, but through the rest of the week that's going to change because temperatures are going to be climbing perhaps up as high as 30 degrees by the end of the week. and away from the far northwest. and away from the far northwest, it is going to be much drier as well. but we've got some heavy, slow moving, perhaps thundery showers affecting eastern scotland and north east england as we head to the end of the afternoon. the odd shower elsewhere, but those will tend to fade away fairly quickly. the ones further north will take a little longer to move out into the north sea, but it's turning dry overnight. skies will clear.

temperatures are still going to be in double figures, a few short lived mist and fog patches, but plenty of sunshine to come and a pretty decent day for tomorrow. as temperatures rise in the sunshine, the cloud will bubble up a little and there's just a low risk of one or two showers around, but on the whole it will be dry. and with those light winds and in the sunshine, it's going to feel warmer as well. temperatures are starting to pick up during tomorrow. getting into the low to mid 20s, could make 25 in the south east of england for the first time this month. it's nothing startling butjust shows you how cool it's been. but towards the north west we are going to find some weather fronts pushing in here occasionally, but it's ahead of that, though, we've got this gentle southerly breeze that's helping to lift the temperatures in the sunshine. could be one or two showers around on thursday, these becoming more confined to scotland and northern ireland. more in the way of sunshine developing across england and wales. and that'll give the temperatures a boost once again. so in the south east of england, we could make 27 or even 28 degrees here. it's not going to be as warm as you move into scotland and northern ireland, where again, there's a bit more cloud around on friday, perhaps a bit of rain towards the far north west,

but for many parts it's going to be a dry day on friday, there'll be more sunshine around and if anything, that warmer air may push a little bit further north, at least into northeastern parts of england. the highest temperatures 29 or 30 degrees likely in the south east.

this is bbc news, the headlines: a body found in tenerife has been identified as british teenager, jay slater. a spanish court says he suffered multiple injuries consistent with a fall �*time for a new chapter�* — the words of gareth southgate as he resigns as england manager. wales's first minister vaughan gething quits, afterfour of his ministers step down. cheering and donald trump makes his first appearance since surviving an assassination attempt to a rapturous crowd. let's go back to the news that gareth southgate has resigned

as the manager of england. his departure comes two days after england lost to spain in the euros final. southgate said, it was time for change. the football association said that southgate had transformed the england team over the last eight years and delivered unforgettable memories. gareth southgate led england to back—to—back finals of the euros, but fell in the final hurdle in both 2021 and 2024. the prince and princess of wales have tweeted, saying — thank you for creating a team that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world's finest in 2024. thank you for showing humility, compassion, and true leadership, under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. and thank you for being an all—round class act. david davies, the former executive director of the football association and he gave me his assesment of today's resignation and what will happen next. i can't say i'm shocked. and i'm delighted that there are so many tributes from so many different sources about what gareth has achieved in eight years and 102 matches.

the right time to leave, for my part, i thought it might have been two years ago, but gareth, rightly, with the persuasion of my successors, our successors inside the fa, has stayed on to have one last go at this tournament. and you know what he's achieved above all else? he has brought the fans and the players back into being in love with the england national team. and that isn't easy to do. you are already talking, quite rightly, about who will be the successor, and the thing that people forget, and i've been involved in helping to choose a successor, is that hugely successful club managers do not necessarily end up as successful international managers because it's a very, very differentjob.

for example, you may play one game a month and in some months, no game at all, and then suddenly you have this intensity of tournament football. you rolled 70 points into one answer. we will talk about successors in a moment, but you knew gareth as a player before he was a manager. what stood out for you in terms of his basic qualities? he is a thoroughly decent person. he has got a humility that isn't shared by everybody in a sport that is full of egos and all the rest of it. and he cared, and he learnt all the way through his international career. people always remember the missed penalty in euro 96 and that was agonising. awful, awful, awfulfor him and awfulfor the nation, but he went on to the world cup of 1998, which also was agonising for

everybody, and the euros in 2000, and then, you know, he went to another world cup, people forget that, he was injapan and nobody kicked a ball in anger. that was 2002. but many will tell you he learned then an awful lot about the players who were not playing twice a week, were not in the intensity of being in the first 11 and were unlikely to get on. and he watched everything and he transferred that to his period as a manager. i will ask you about changing the culture in a moment, but you have seen it at such close quarters, it really is one of the toughestjobs around, isn't it, in terms of the scrutiny and the criticism and the flack?

the scrutiny... i think that is the big thing. the scrutiny is so intense, particularly at these big and the question is, how do you deal with that? most successful people in their lives do not have that level of scrutiny, and it can break people. and that's why i say, yes, club managers have scrutiny, but not the same scrutiny that it is when the whole nation is behind you and relying on you, and then is disappointed with you and there have been so many tributes over the last few hours. i there have been so many tributes over the last few hours.— over the last few hours. i was sad to hear that _ over the last few hours. i was sad to hear that gareth _ over the last few hours. i was sad to hear that gareth has _ over the last few hours. i was sad to hear that gareth has decided i over the last few hours. i was sad | to hear that gareth has decided to id to hear that gareth has decided to go because he has left a really good legacy~ _ go because he has left a really good legacy. whoever picks up that has .ot legacy. whoever picks up that has got a _ legacy. whoever picks up that has got a fantastic platform to build on there _ got a fantastic platform to build on there he — got a fantastic platform to build on there. he has brought so much to not

they say three strikes and you're out and he is out. apologies. we were trying to hear a fan's perspective. we had politicians and captains. hopefully we'll hear from a fan in the future. head to the website for updated reactions for you and on the bbc app, as well. sorry about that. let's turn to events in the us and return to the republican national convention. jd vance was picked as donald trump's running mate for us vice president. his comments about politics here have sparked criticism after he said the uk under labour could become the first truly islamist country with nuclear weapons. he made the remarks

while at the national conservatism conference in washington dc last week. let's take a listen: i have to beat up on the uk, just one additional thing. i was talking with a friend recently and we were talking about one of the big dangers is in the world of course is nuclear proliferation. of course, the biden administration doesn't care about it. and i was talking about, what is the first truly islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon? we were like, maybe it's iran, maybe pakistan already kind of counts. and then we sort finally decided, maybe it's actually the uk since labour just took over. laughter and applause that is the pick for the vice president. let's speak to our political correspondent ben wright. what has the reaction been from labour on this? well, the clip as you heard speaks for itself. he was ripping in front of a domestic audience saying it in a jokey way. butjd vance did describe the uk as islamist under

labour. labour is in government and i thought it was interesting that the deputy prime minister tried very hard to defuse or smother any prospect of a row and bust up with the man who could be the next vice president of the united states. it was said that she the characterisation thatjd vance made was not recognised and that he has said a lot of frilly things in the past and she looks forward to meeting them if they win. i think some of the strongest criticism is from the conservatives. the party spokesmen said that he disagrees with the remarks and that they are offensive to the labour party. interesting reaction ever in

westminster. thank you very much. police police in thailand say that people were found dead. the investigation is now focusing on the use of a toxic substance. the prime minister has ordered an investigation. a czech billionaire who wants to take over royal mail has told the bbc letters will still be delivered 6 days a week anywhere in the uk for the same price, for as long as he's alive. daniel kretinsky�*s three point six billion pound bid still requires government approval. unions says they have a number of 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. it is czech billionaire daniel k etinsky. why should he be trusted with such a historic asset? of course there is a great responsibility that comes from such a name and tradition and the importance of the company. but the answer for me was simple because i truly believe that we can help now and contribute and play a vital role which will be very important in the history of royal mail. royal mail is losing money, letter volumes are declining and its part in the parcels business has plummeted. daniel k etinsky has committed in writing to commit to the royal service for at least five years. he also made this promise -

i'm alive i and dedicated to this. i'm sure anyone who would be my successor understands. why not put that in writing? there are two different things. unconditionally, royal mail is going to be the mail service in the uk unconditionally forever. unions have misgivings about the proposed deal. i can think of any other country in the world that would hand i over the entire postal service i to overseas equity investment. we believe that there has to be a different answer that gives ai different direction to the company. there have been no compulsory redundancies predicted, but he says his plan could lead to a brighterfuture. we need this shift to be successful. if we are there we will have no problems because the sky is blue and it is blue for everybody.

the unions cannot stop this deal but the government can and will have the last word later this year. the tv star zara mcdermott has said she was involved in incidents in the strictly come dancing's training room that she now finds incredibly distressing to watch back, following the news that her dance partner graziano di prima has left the show. on saturday, the bbc confirmed that di prima was no longer a part of the line—up of professional dancers for the upcoming series. he said he deeply regrets the events leading up to his departure and acknowledged that his intense passion and determination to win might have affected his training regime. with me is entertainment culture correspondent lizo mzimba. tell us more. yes. this has been ttoin on tell us more. yes. this has been going on for— tell us more. yes. this has been going on for a — tell us more. yes. this has been going on for a few _ tell us more. yes. this has been going on for a few days - tell us more. yes. this has been going on for a few days now. i tell us more. yes. this has been going on for a few days now. we | tell us more. yes. this has been i going on for a few days now. we got the statement this morning from zara mcdermott shedding more light on what was going on. she wasn't absolutely specific, but she did refer to those incidents that she

i know this guy inside out. there's a real intellectual, intelligent man there with a beautiful humanity. gareth, congratulations on your appointment. must be a great honour for you to be the name of the new england manager. yeah, i'm extremely proud myself, my family, everybody _ that has helped me on myjourney within football as a player- or a coach. getting the job is one thing. i i want to do the job successfully. england were terribly perceived before gareth southgate came in. no fight. no identity. no belief. this is surely as bad as it's ever been for england! there was no connection from the fans. we was almost like a laughing stock. gareth southgate has changed

the narrative around the squad. he made all the players open up on the eve of the 2018 world cup. he basically humanised the england squad again. he tells you as it is, he tells you where you stand. that's the most you can ask for in a new manager. someone that's honest. gareth southgate is a man of huge principles. if you've got a man at the top of the helm with his culture, his respect, his values, these guys are going to follow suit and they're going to love it. there was this bond. it's almost like father—son or older brother—younger brother. you can see the players love him. they all want to play for that man. i owe gareth so much. he's been immense for me personally. gareth is... he's been absolutely fantastic to each and every one of us. i feel a big part of it. is he's been in our shoes.

let me tell you, that was tough at the time. he's lived what we're living. gareth southgate's experience as a player have been absolutely fundamental to his success as a manager. he gives me a lot of confidence and i can trust him. i'm always grateful for that. you've got a guy here that will take the fear out of you playing football. we've had some incredible nights over the last seven, eight years. the only reason i did the job when i took it on was to tryi and bring success to england as a nation, and to try- and improve english football. that whole concept of service to the nation is embedded in gareth southgate.

you're talking to probably the most patriotic guy that i know. i when i took thisjob, i'd had three i years as a premier league manager. i've now had 100 internationals, some of the biggest games i in world football. you learn all the time from that. he's a very, very strong individual. far tougher than advertised. we all want to be loved, right? when you're doing something i for your country and you're a proud englishman and you don't feel that back, and when all you read - is criticism, it's hard. he's invested into these boys, notjust as footballers, but as human beings. we've been on this journey together. we've helped change the perception of england, the culture of england. that's a team that wants to do everything possible for the man who's leading them.

sunday will define me for others. but it won't for myself. wasn't that fascinating? some of the voices... head to the website. there is so much reaction. we have been getting reactions on the programme. i want to give you a flavour of some of the people that we have been talking to over the hours about the decision and the legacy. he has done very well and people forget about the families. they

forget about the families. they forget the families are involved. i think he realises that it is properly has time to go and give somebody else a chance. he has done it in a typical way for gareth, classy and direct. he probably made his mind up as soon as the final whistle. perhaps even before that. well done, gareth. now the search starts. iiii well done, gareth. now the search starts. , ., well done, gareth. now the search starts. i. well done, gareth. now the search starts. . ,, well done, gareth. now the search starts. ., starts. if you look back through histo , starts. if you look back through history. the _ starts. if you look back through history, the england _ starts. if you look back through history, the england team i starts. if you look back through | history, the england team often starts. if you look back through i history, the england team often flip flops from _ history, the england team often flip flops from one type of manager to another _ flops from one type of manager to another. when a manager leave, they think everyone is wrong and they have _ think everyone is wrong and they have to _ think everyone is wrong and they have to rip — think everyone is wrong and they have to rip it up. they had to go with— have to rip it up. they had to go with the — have to rip it up. they had to go with the opposite approach. i think this time _ with the opposite approach. i think this time they need continuity. i think— this time they need continuity. i think they— this time they need continuity. i think they need to build and white gareth— think they need to build and white gareth southgate has done because if you look— gareth southgate has done because if you look at— gareth southgate has done because if you look at his ten years, he leaves with a _ you look at his ten years, he leaves with a very— you look at his ten years, he leaves with a very strong, positive legacy. he gets _ with a very strong, positive legacy. he gets criticism for not winning tournaments, but we talked previously about managers who have

that is going to change because temperatures will be climbing to perhaps up to 30 degrees and away from the north—west will be drier, as well. we have some heavy, slow—moving thundery showers moving towards the afternoon. those well tend to fade away quickly. the ones in the north will take longer to turn into the north sea. skies were clear later and temperatures will be in the low 205. as temperatures rise in the sunshine, cloud will bubble up a little and there is just a low risk of one are two showers. on the whole, it will be dry. with those light winds and sunshine, it will feel warmer, as well. temperatures will pick up tomorrow getting into the low to mid 205. it could be for the first time this month. nothing startling, but it just shows you how cool it has been. we will see some weather

fronts pushing into here occasionally. we have this gentle southerly breeze. there could be a few showers around confined to scotland or ireland with sunshine developing across england and wales which will give the temperatures a boost once again. in the south east of england, it could get to 28 degrees. it won't be as warm as you move into scotland and northern ireland. again, a bit more cloud around friday. perhaps a bit of rain towards the far north—west. for many parts, it is going to be a dry day on friday. there will be more sunshine and that warmer air may push a bit more north, at least into north—eastern parts of england. the highest temperature is 29 or 30 degrees likely in the south—east.

live from london, this is bbc news. a body found in tenerife has been identified as british teenagerjay slater. a spanish court says he suffered multiple injuries consistent with a fall. "time for a new chapter" — the words of gareth southgate as he resigns as england manager. wales's first minister, vaughan gething, quits afterfour of his ministers step down. caowo: fight! fight! fight! and donald trump makes his first appearance since surviving an assassination attempt — to a rapturous crowd. the mother of the missing british teenagerjay slater has said "our hearts are broken" after a spanish court

confirmed that the body discovered in tenerife was that of the missing teenager. the body was found not far away from a house he'd been visiting, near the village of masca. it's almost a month since the i9—year—old disappeared after going to a music festival. the court said that the death was caused by trauma consistent with a fall in a rocky area. 0ur correspondent guy hedgecoe, who's in tenerife, gave me the latest from there. i'm outside the headquarters of the local police, who have been leading the search forjay slater over the last month. we do now have this confirmation from the judicial authorities here that the body that was found yesterday by the mountain rescue unit of the local police was indeed that of jay slater. what we've been told

is that fingerprint tests were carried out to confirm that it was jay slater. also, the judicial authorities said that the cause of death from the tests that have been carried out so far showed that it was a multiple trauma caused by a fall in a rocky area. i should also add that documents that were found on the body, that was discovered yesterday, also belonged to jay slater, so everything was pointing to the fact that this was the missing i9—year—old, but now we do have confirmation of that. and nickjohnson gave us this update from jay slater�*s hometown of in lancashire. it's the news here that people had sort of been expecting over the past 24 hours or so, but which perhaps they were maybe hoping it wouldn't come. for the past month or so since jay's disappearance, blue ribbons have been placed throughout the town.

this is a small tight—knit community between accrington and blackburn and it is something that everyone here at the moment is talking about, everyone here seems to know somebody who knows somebody who knows jay and his family. this church i'm outside is a bit of a focal point now for the community to come and pay their respects to jay but also to support his family. in the past hour or so, some floral tributes have been laid outside the church, and this evening the doors of the church will open and people will be able to come in and pay their respects. we spoke to the vicar of the building behind me a short while ago, he says that jay and his family are in his thoughts and he wants somewhere for people to come together and grieve. but people here also want to know how and why young jay went to tenerife and lost his life.

nickjohnson. gareth southgate has resigned as the manager of england. his departure comes two days after england lost to spain in the euros final. southgate said it was time for change. the football association said that southgate had "transformed" the england team over the last eight years and delivered unforgettable memories. gareth southgate led england to back—to—back finals of the euros — but fell in the final hurdle in both 2021 and 202a. the prince and princess of wales have tweeted, saying, "thank you for creating a team that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world's finest in 202a. thank you for showing humility, compassion, and true leadership, under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. and thank you for being an all—round class act. this afternoon, the prime minister, sir keir starmer, has posted this on his social media.

natalie pirks has been giving us the latest from wembley. i asked her if the fa had been hoping he would stay but rather hoping he would stay but rather hoping he would go. i hoping he would stay but rather hoping he would go.— hoping he would stay but rather hoping he would go. i think he can hear from some _ hoping he would go. i think he can hear from some of _ hoping he would go. i think he can hear from some of the _ hoping he would go. i think he can hear from some of the interviews | hoping he would go. i think he can| hear from some of the interviews a given sunday after that crushing defeat that he was talking in the past tense in many of them. i think he had made up his mind a long time ago. he had often said he didn't want to overstay his welcome and there were some issues and moments during the euros when perhaps the fans were not quite with him and that has clearly taken its toll. he said it's been the honour of his life to play and manage england and said he's given it his all but it's time for a new chapter. what stood out for me in the press release was the pride and the privilege that came sort of losing out, how much love his call for those players and

how much pride he spelt leading a group of players that he says can win the trophy we all dream of. what is also significant as he talked about england fans now understanding the power football has to drive positive change, and you can see during the time he has been with england how he was at the forefront of social issues, that team were taking the knee, they were wearing rainbow armbands for example in support of the lgbtq community ahead of the qatar world cup and he really has driven that and has had to answer some difficult questions. and he ended with thanking his backroom staff and england fans, calling them the best fans in the world and he finished with, thank you, england, for everything. i think his legacy will be in transforming a culture of england where we used to have players turning up from their clubs and only sitting with the players they already knew, he has made england into almost a mini club in that sense and he's brought through a lot of players and has been responsible for driving that change. but i think the key thing england fans will take from his time is that

since 1966, in 25 tournaments, they had only won seven knockout matches. in just four tournaments under southgate, they won nine including reaching successive back back—to—back finals. he is the true story and the story of gareth southgate's rain by katie gornall, and a warning there are flashing images in this piece. they say when one door closes, another one opens. this one happened almost by accident. eight years ago gareth southgate stepped into the void left unexpectedly by sam allardyce. england's humiliation against iceland still hung in the air and the challenge facing this inexperienced international manager was huge. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i said a few weeks ago some jobs are more difficult than others, some more complex — this is one of those. true to his word, southgate went on to prove that this wasn't an impossible job. he changed the culture and the team, and then in 2018, this happened. england won their first

world cup penalty shoot—out. they would go out in the semifinals to croatia, but southgate had made fans fall in love with the team again. these were the waistcoat years, and southgate was the one. sport, but football in particular, can really bring connection for a country, and it feels, from what we've been told and the little bits we are seeing, but that's the case. that that's the case. at euro 2020, england beat germany on their way to reaching the final against italy. southgate was on the brink of leading england to their first major trophy in 55 years, but it ended in heartbreak. his tactics were questioned and later his future, as in the build—up to the qatar world cup, england were humiliated 4—0 by hungary. the reaction from the stands was poisonous. it had a profound effect. two years on, after some disappointing performances at the euros, plastic beer cups were thrown at him.

relations with the fans seemed strained to the point of breaking, but the england bandwagon kept rolling and their run to the final got many back onside. sunday's 2—1 defeat to spain in berlin would be his final act as manager. in a statement, he said... there will be questions as to whether southgate 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. that could prove a tough act to follow. the process for appointing his successor begins right now. the fa will want the best person for the job but that doesn't necessarily mean they will be english. their

nations league campaign gets underway injust eight nations league campaign gets underway in just eight weeks, in september. they want someone in place before that but the fa says there is a plan, an interim plan in place if they haven't. 60 million armchair managers have an opinion on the england manager, they have thrown plenty of names into the hat. jurgen klopp the former liverpool boss, he is currently on a career break. pep guardiola, his contract runs out with manchester city at the end of next season, so next year. eddie howe, he once called the england job the ultimate job, he eddie howe, he once called the england job the ultimatejob, he is the current newcastle boss. there are plenty of glitch managers who currently are without jobs without posts, thomas tuchel and mauricio pochettino, so for the next eight weeks, get used to this frenzied speculation from fans but one of the key thing is i will take with me todayis key thing is i will take with me today is how glowing the people have spoken of gareth southgate. he was fantastic with the media and if perhaps at times he was criticised by pundits and the media, he took a very well and he was always a joy,

frankly, to deal with. so, it's interesting now that you are seeing lots of people coming out and praising him. the prime minister, the fa of course, prince william as you mention, normally we are still here at wembley in the bowels of wembley dissecting what went wrong. gareth southgate has been able to entirely leave dictated on his terms, so whoever takes over from him has very big shoes to fill a huge talent pool to work with. earlier i spoke to the former fa ceo, mark palios. and i started by asking him whether he was surprised gareth southgate stepped down. gareth has earned the right to make his own decision. itjust means the job is therefore him, the fa will follow behind should he want to stay but equally if he decided that it was time for him to go, then it's up to him to do that and he will go with everybody because mike blessing because he did a fantasticjob while he was in post. it was probably one of the more difficult managerial positions in football.—

positions in football. that's -robabl positions in football. that's probably the _ positions in football. that's i probably the understatement positions in football. that's - probably the understatement of the year. but before southgate, there were some pretty dark days for the fa, so in terms of how he changed, what he changed, give me your assessment. i what he changed, give me your assessment.— what he changed, give me your assessment. ~ ., , ., , ., assessment. i think what people have to do is to look _ assessment. i think what people have to do is to look at _ assessment. i think what people have to do is to look at the _ assessment. i think what people have to do is to look at the successful - to do is to look at the successful sort of production line of talented players that are coming through, and of course that is a major aspect to why we have improved from being basically a quarterfinal team to a semifinal and final team in these major tournaments. that has happened over a long, long time and i know there are a lot of people at the fa who have contributed to that stop you are looking at the spanish system and the french system with trevor brooking etc, and in 2007 we change the coaching system, or the fa changed the coaching system. it took ten years on their wake of the under 17 world champions and the under 17 world champions and the under 20 world champions. sol

under 17 world champions and the under 20 world champions. so i think people have to understand that there are a football processes behind the scenes, that is one of the difficulties are bringing in a club managerfrom basically difficulties are bringing in a club manager from basically the club scenarios, which although it is changing, they tend to have what i call unicorn managers, there are individuals thrown out the window and they change again to do what gareth brought was a knowledge of the development teams beneath the main team and the development players as well, and was therefore able to transition more smoothly into the role. find able to transition more smoothly into the role.— into the role. and yet, when you look at a country _ into the role. and yet, when you look at a country like _ into the role. and yet, when you look at a country like spain, - into the role. and yet, when you look at a country like spain, of l look at a country like spain, of course winners on sunday, they won the world cup back in 2010 and this side, they were completely able to renew with completely new squads, so what have they done that england have not been able to do? itidbit. what have they done that england have not been able to do?- have not been able to do? well, i think it's important _

have not been able to do? well, i think it's important to _ have not been able to do? well, i think it's important to look- have not been able to do? well, i think it's important to look at,, i think it's important to look at,, when squads arrive, part of the job, part of the difficulty of the job is that you don't have these players 24/7, that you don't have these players 21w, they come from different clubs and different coaching setups, different managers etc and you don't have them 24/7 so if you're a transition period where you are moving from experienced players to more inexperienced players in the balance is slightly wrong, it's difficult really to see if you have got the time to move them into a cogent team rather than just a squad of talented individuals. i think there is an element of timing and what we saw in the tournament stop with the likes of spain, it was years before they migrated from being a successful development team, willing development competitions, to actually winning the big things. i suppose the point i was making is that they have started now to win the big things, 2 euros, one world cup, with different teams so they

have been able to replicate it time after time and still england wait to get over the line. players loved playing for him, you will have to see the reaction in the run—up to the tournament, during and after this announcement. that is clearly on 100 positive, but it also can be a negative, can it not, in terms of being too loyal, not flexible enough, some of the criticism we heard during the tournament? i appreciate your point, but i think if i was to look at what i would want in terms of a culture around the team, i would have a team culture. and at the end of the day, you have to do what your coach wants you have to do what your coach wants you to do on the pitch. yes, there should be challenges and that is the senior players potentially to do that so i can appreciate that but i'm not sure if i was to choose between one thing or the other that i choose a team that actually respected the manager and his teams. today of course there is a lot of

input, more thanjust today of course there is a lot of input, more than just the manager's view. it is a coach, there is a team of coaches underneath him at a loss of coaches underneath him at a loss of data going into all of this process. of data going into all of this rocess. �* of data going into all of this rocess. ~ ., , ., process. and of course there are millions of— process. and of course there are millions of armchair _ process. and of course there are millions of armchair managers . process. and of course there are i millions of armchair managers out there as well. they all add to the pressure. give me your thoughts because you will know this from being there at the fa, tell me more about what you think they will be doing now as they hunt for a successor, whether they are wedded to having an english manager, the sorts of considerations about culture, continuation, changing it, give me an idea of the various factors at play. i give me an idea of the various factors at play-— give me an idea of the various factors at play. i think that first of all they _ factors at play. i think that first of all they will _ factors at play. i think that first of all they will have _ factors at play. i think that first of all they will have a _ factors at play. i think that first of all they will have a short - factors at play. i think that first| of all they will have a short list, you always have a shortlist. i think if i was a betting man i would go for somebody who understands the process and the development squad and the way it goes through and understands that to the extent that there is a smooth transition whilst they wait for the more formal

appointment, and it may be, as they did with southgate, they may accelerate them into the position. but the big problem for them is that if you are looking at club football and successful club managers, in other industries you would look at somebody who has succeeded in a similarjob. well, i don't think a club manager'sjob really looks at the broader correlates to the broader job the broader correlates to the broaderjob spec that the broader correlates to the broader job spec that the the broader correlates to the broaderjob spec that the england manager has. for example he has to go out and make sure that he has good relationships with all of the premier league clubs from whom he is taking players, he understands their problems. a premier league manager can do that, but the answer is there is nobody who has a perfect cv that will slot straight into the job and it's a balance between people who impress, who they feel have got the right interpersonal skills, because that's a massive part of the job,

both in terms of management of the media, but management of all the stakeholders including other clubs and management of players, who may come from clubs where there are vendettas between the players etc, but the interpersonal skills are massively important in this job. yes, it is such a multifaceted job, you're right, in terms of drawing reference to taking club players, in the past there have been it certainly spats between an england manager and club manager, as we remember those sorts of days and we haven't seen that with gareth southgate. a final addition to the list you've made, he was also again able to reconnect, wasn't he, with fans? , . ~ able to reconnect, wasn't he, with fans? , ., ~ ., fans? yes, and i think with all due resect fans? yes, and i think with all due respect to — fans? yes, and i think with all due respect to gareth, _ fans? yes, and i think with all due respect to gareth, i _ fans? yes, and i think with all due respect to gareth, i just _ fans? yes, and i think with all due respect to gareth, i just think - fans? yes, and i think with all due respect to gareth, i just think it i respect to gareth, ijust think it was a great choice by the fa at the time, he demands respect because he does everything with dignity and he doesn't respond... i mean, ithink it was atrocious, i think everybody does, in terms of the fans throwing

beer at him. at the end of the day, he is a guy who demands respect, but also you have to understand that fans really want a winning side and that's what he gave them, he gave them progress in competitions that we haven't seen. to give them a final in a major competition, just sack to the world cup on foreign soil, which again is something we have never done. —— coming second in the world cup. so i think we have moved under his tutelage and managership from being a quarterfinal team to a semifinal and now a final team. the quarterfinal team to a semifinal and now a final team.— quarterfinal team to a semifinal and now a final team. the former fa ceo. that interview — now a final team. the former fa ceo. that interview and _ now a final team. the former fa ceo. that interview and many _ now a final team. the former fa ceo. that interview and many others - that interview and many others available on the bbc website on the live page, there has been an absolute avalanche of reaction since the news broke late this morning. so do head there and also on the bbc app do head there and also on the bbc app there is a lot of really fascinating detail available. vaughan gething has quit

as the first minister of wales, just four months into the job. he said he will "begin the process of stepping down as leader of the welsh labour party and recognised that "rebuilding and renewal" was "not possible" under his leadership. it comes after four welsh ministers resigned this morning — calling for the first minister to stand down. mr gething has come under criticism in recent months over a series of rows concerning donations he took while running to be welsh labour leader. let's take a listen to vaughan gething addressing the senedd a short time ago. i wanted to give power to those without a voice, to help to make our country a better place for all of us. that has always been my motivation. i campaigned to help create the senedd, clocking up 30 years of work to support wales's devolution journey. this has been an incredibly difficult time for me and for my family.

a growing assertion that some kind of wrongdoing has taken place has been pernicious, politically motivated and patently untrue. i have worked hard, followed the rules and done really difficult and demanding jobs for my country. in 11 years as a minister, i have never, ever made a decision for personal gain, have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial position. my integrity matters. i have not compromised it. i regret that the burden of proof is no longer an important commodity in the language of our politics, and i do hope, for all our sakes, that that can change. i will now discuss with the welsh executive of my party a timetable for the election of a new leader of welsh labour.

i will then confirm a timetable to formally stand down as the first minister of my country. 0ur news correspondent lucy vladev is in cardiff for us and gave us this update. well, people have not been backwards in coming forwards about this. plaid cymru have said that chaos in labour in the past few months has been unforgivable, that has been echoed by the conservatives, and the green party have said that vaughan gething's resignation is long overdue. vaughan gething has only been in charge here for four months, elected on the 20th of march, but that short amount of time doesn't quite convey the amount of drama that's been going on. first of all we had questions about a £200,000 donation made by a businessman who was convicted of environmental offences, then we have had the issue of hannah blythyn — she was a minister who was sacked for leaking messages to the press. vaughan gething said she had to go because she was

the source of that leak. however, hannah blythyn has said she was not the source of the information that got to the press. in fact, the news agency that originally published the story also said that she was not the source of that information. he did actually face a no—confidence vote as well last month. he lost that no—confidence vote but refused to stand down and actually until relatively recently had the backing of the labour party, including keir starmer on his visit to wales. but in the past few days, the tone has changed. jeremy miles, who was running against him in the leadership contest, refused to give vaughan gething his support during an itv interview and today, we've had four ministers resign. so what happens now? another leadership contest is under way as vaughan gething says he will step aside and let the future continue.

are still a little disappointing for the time of year, typically 19 or 20 degrees, but through the rest of the week that's going to change because temperatures are going to be climbing perhaps up as high as 30 degrees by the end of the week. and away from the far northwest, it is going to be much drier as well. but we've got some heavy, slow moving, perhaps thundery showers affecting eastern scotland and north east england as we head to the end of the afternoon. the odd shower elsewhere, but those will tend to fade away fairly quickly. the ones further north will take a little longer to move out into the north sea, but it's turning dry overnight. skies will clear. temperatures are still going to be in double figures, a few short lived mist and fog patches, but plenty of sunshine to come and a pretty decent day for tomorrow. as temperatures rise in the sunshine, the cloud will bubble up a little and there's just a low risk of one or two showers around, but on the whole it will be dry. and with those light winds and in the sunshine, it's going to feel warmer as well. temperatures are starting to pick up during tomorrow. getting into the low to mid 205, could make 25 in the south east of england for the first

time this month. it's nothing startling butjust shows you how cool it's been. but towards the north west we are going to find some weather fronts pushing in here occasionally, but it's ahead of that, though, we've got this gentle southerly breeze that's helping to lift the temperatures in the sunshine. could be one or two showers around on thursday, these becoming more confined to scotland and northern ireland. more in the way of sunshine developing across england and wales. and that'll give the temperatures a boost once again. so in the south east of england, we could make 27 or even 28 degrees here. it's not going to be as warm as you move into scotland and northern ireland, where again, there's a bit more cloud around on friday, perhaps a bit of rain towards the far north west, but for many parts it's going to be a dry day on friday, there'll be more sunshine around and if anything, that warmer air may push a little bit further north, at least into northeastern parts of england. the highest temperatures, 29 or 30 degrees likely in the south east.

this is bbc news. the headlines: a body found in tenerife has been identified as british teenager, jay slater. a spanish court says he suffered multiple injuries consistent with a fall 'time for a new chapter�* — the words of gareth southgate as he resigns as england manager.

wales's first minister vaughan gething quits, afterfour of his ministers step down. cheering and donald trump makes his first appearance since surviving an assassination attempt to a rapturous crowd. hello. let's stay with that final headline. 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, although didn't speak, at the republican national convention in milwaukee. there was rapturous applause and cheers from his supporters. he's now been officially confirmed as the party's candidate for the presidential election in november. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal was there. please welcome the next president of

the united states, donald] trump. i cheering 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, i 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 i president and he changed my mind. i think he changed the minds i of a lot of americans, because, again, he delivered that peace and prosperity. i if you go back to what i thought in 2016, another thing - that was going on, sean, i 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 bull's—eye. 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. joining me now from the conference in milwaukee is the bbc�*s sumi somaskanda. she is there. we were talking before about the events of last night. what are we expecting today at the convention? i are we expecting today at the convention?— are we expecting today at the convention? , :, ., convention? i will tell you that we 'ust heard convention? i will tell you that we just heard from _ convention? i will tell you that we just heard from donald _ convention? i will tell you that we just heard from donald trump's i convention? i will tell you that we i just heard from donald trump's team. they held a press conference. they said that he will return to the convention centre tonight to listening to some of the speech is once again. he will be here about 9pm local time. once again. he will be here about 9pm localtime. he once again. he will be here about 9pm local time. he said that those dramatic images that we just start will be similar but unique. not exactly sure what that means, but we can expect again rapturous applause and welcome for donald trump. we will also see the theme of day two of the convention is make america

safe again. that is a reference to both immigration and crime. immigration is one of the central points of the republican's platform. if you look at paul's, especially in swing states, they say that immigration is one of the most important issues. —— if you look at paul's. donald trump made immigration the central theme and said he would build a border wall. he said that he and his team would deport millions of immigrants if he were to come into the white house again in november. what we can also expect to see our speeches from some of his surrogates and also from two people running against him in the primaries. that is florida governor ron desantis and former south carolina candidate nikki haley. they were both critical of him but now they have said that they are closing

ranks. they said that they will speak tonight about the need for republicans to come together to beat joe biden. remarkable, matthew, to see how solidified that support is right never donald trump. yes. let's turn to his vice _ right never donald trump. yes. let's turn to his vice president _ right never donald trump. yes. let's turn to his vice president pick. i turn to his vice president pick. what had delegates made at that? because he could have gone to others that would have perhaps dragged in key sectors of the public but he chose jd vance. key sectors of the public but he chosejd vance. what key sectors of the public but he chose jd vance. what are key sectors of the public but he chosejd vance. what are people making of the? the chose jd vance. what are people making of the?— chose jd vance. what are people making of the? the people we have soken to making of the? the people we have spoken to here _ making of the? the people we have spoken to here at _ making of the? the people we have spoken to here at the _ making of the? the people we have spoken to here at the bbc- making of the? the people we have spoken to here at the bbc have i making of the? the people we have| spoken to here at the bbc have said that they are very supportive ofjd vance and that he has a great pick. he is described as many people including congress that he is the face of a populist movement in the us. across the board we have heard really positive things aboutjd vance. in fact one of the senators we spoke to yesterday from wisconsin

said that he liked all three people who are front and side who could have been the vice presidential pick. after, of course, he was supportive of the ohio senator as the vice presidential nominee. jd vance represents youth. he is 39 years old and also someone from the midwest, and ohio senator. so he is important for winning the battleground states in the rust belt. 90 he also repeats donald trump's policy and both domestic and foreign policy. delegates have been telling u5 that they think he will be the best candidate for m. some telling us that they think he will be the best candidate for m. some of the comments _ be the best candidate for m. some of the comments he _ be the best candidate for m. some of the comments he made _ be the best candidate for m. some of the comments he made pre-2016 i be the best candidate for m. some of| the comments he made pre-2016 that the comments he made pre—2016 that night he likened him to hitler. it is a truth that so many people at

different stages who have been critical of trump have totally fallen into line.— critical of trump have totally fallen into line. absolutely. i found it so — fallen into line. absolutely. i found it so interesting i fallen into line. absolutely. i found it so interesting that i fallen into line. absolutely. i | found it so interesting that jd found it so interesting thatjd vance has been asked about this multiple times and he has said yes, i or clapper, but donald trump has convinced me and i change my mind. also, nikki haley who was now on board with champ mack during the primaries —— trump during the primaries. that political transformation forjd vance is remarkable. we saw the clip that he owned up for the comments he made and said listen, this is the person we can win with and i fully support donald trump's palaces. he is certainly not the only one who has made that transformation. another senator from made that transformation. another senatorfrom florida had also gone against donald trump as a

presidential nominee where he called donald trump a conman. now a different time for him. he has donald trump's biggest defenders. thank you very much. we will get more later. let's stay with that because jd vance's comments about politics here have sparked criticism after he said the uk under labour could become the first truly islamist country with nuclear weapons. he made the remarks while at the national conservatism conference in washington dc last week. let's take a listen: by the way, i have to beat up on the uk, just one additional thing. i was talking with a friend recently and we were talking about one of the big dangers is in the world of course is nuclear proliferation. of course, the biden administration doesn't care about it. and i was talking about, what is the first truly islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon? we were like, maybe it's iran,

maybe pakistan already kind of of counts. and then we sort finally decided, maybe it's actually the uk since labour just took over. laughter and applause his comments from last week. they have been viewed and watched in westminster. our political correspondent ben wright has more on the reaction from the labour government. he was ripping in front of a domestic audience saying it in a jokey way. a labour government. i think if labour was in in government they would come down on those comments ferociously hard. but the deputy prime minister angela rayner tried very hard to defuse or smother any prospect of a row and bust up with the man who could be the next vice president of the united states. angela rayner said that she the

characterisation thatjd vance made she has not recognised. she says she looks forward to meeting him if the republicans win. i think some of the strongest criticism is from the conservatives. the party spokesmen said that he disagrees with the remarks and that they are offensive to the labour party. that is then right. with me is ali milani, national chair at labour muslim network. what is your reaction to hearing that clip? i what is your reaction to hearing that cli - ? ~' . , ., . that clip? i think white jd vance has said is _ that clip? i think white jd vance has said is ignorant, _ that clip? i think white jd vance has said is ignorant, idiotic- that clip? i think white jd vance has said is ignorant, idiotic and | has said is ignorant, idiotic and racist. it is very important that we call out is for what it is and that

west so it is important that the labour government or any other government stand up and call it what it is which is blatant islamaphobia and an attack on our country. let's not forget, the beginning of his sentence was let's be on the uk for a bit. our government and politics should have the courage to stand up and say that we will not tolerate racism is. a, and say that we will not tolerate racism is. : :, . :, and say that we will not tolerate racism is. : :, _, :, :, ., racism is. a former college roommate of jd racism is. a former college roommate ofjd vance — racism is. a former college roommate ofjd vance has _ racism is. a former college roommate ofjd vance has told _ racism is. a former college roommate ofjd vance has told the _ racism is. a former college roommate ofjd vance has told the press - racism is. a former college roommate ofjd vance has told the press today i ofjd vance has told the press today is that what makes the vice president candidate different is that he carries on a lot of anger. that is what his roommate said. it is interesting because he got in a spat with donald trump years ago. goes back to when i am saying, political strategy. goes back to when i am saying, politicalstrategy. it goes back to when i am saying, political strategy. it is not something that was set out of turn. this is being said by major

politicians across the west. attacking muslim are seen as acceptable. this is seen as a vote winner. that is the problem here because what these comments do is put every single muslim in america, the uk and across the western world at risk. we have seen my son is killed on the streets and violence in musk. if there is no repercussion that mac —— in masks. ihe in musk. if there is no repercussion that mac -- in masks.— in musk. if there is no repercussion that mac -- in masks. the events of the weekend — that mac -- in masks. the events of the weekend the _ that mac -- in masks. the events of the weekend the neck _ that mac -- in masks. the events of the weekend the neck environmentsj the weekend the neck environments create consequences. i the weekend the neck environments create consequences.— create consequences. i think what the weekend _ create consequences. i think what the weekend shows _ create consequences. i think what the weekend shows and _ create consequences. i think what the weekend shows and the i create consequences. i think what i the weekend shows and the appalling political violence that president shaw carl former president trump was subject to shows the violence of subject to shows the violence of subject to. if you see the level of

security that keir starmer has to use. carl politics at a volatile moment. people need to stand up and speak. while muslims are being attacked across the west i would urge politicians to stand up and call out this racism for what it is. thank you very much for coming in. now let's return to the story we were covering a while ago with that breaking development. the bbc has said that they will be taking additional steps to strengthen support and the strictly come dancing programme. we were telling you earlier tv star zara mcdermott has said she was involved in incidents

in the strictly come dancing training room that she now finds incredibly distressing to watch back, following the news that her dance partner graziano di prima has left the show. on saturday, the bbc confirmed that di prima was no longer a part of the line—up of professional dancers for the upcoming series. he said he deeply regrets the events leading up to his departure and acknowledged that his intense passion and determination to win might have affected his training regime. let's get more with our cultural reporter. tell us more about this additional update please. we had 'ust had additional update please. we had just had this _ additional update please. we had just had this statement _ additional update please. we had just had this statement in - additional update please. we had just had this statement in the i additional update please. we had| just had this statement in the last few minutes from the bbc regarding welfare for strictly come dancing. the bbc said that concerns have arisen in recent months specifically regarding training and rehearsals. to adjust that, it said it is introducing a number of measures. it will play a member of production

staff in all rehearsals, a chaperone. there are also going to be to new dedicated welfare producers on the show. as you say, this follows complaints that have arisen about the behaviour of two former professional dancers during training. earliertoday former professional dancers during training. earlier today we were bringing you that news of zara mcdermott who was a participant on the show last year. she has posted a statement on the show saying that so much of her strictly come dancing experience had been a dream come true. everything she could dream of. but her experience in the training room had been very different and there were videos of particular incidents which were incredibly distressing to watch. she said that she was originally fearing a public backlash if she opened up but now she has gained the strength to face the spheres and opened up and speak

to bbc managers about what she has gone through. zara mcdermott appeared last year partner with graziano di prima and last year's series. today was said that no complaints were made against him going that serious. however, they said a rehearsal did ask him to be more considerate with his training. but as we understand the matter was resolved at the time to every�*s satisfaction. on saturday, the bbc confirmed that graziano di prima will not be taking part in this year's show. he has previously rejected allegations that his behaviour was in any way abusive or threatening, and says that he is cooperating fully with the bbc investigation. it all comes after giovanni pernice left the show with

allegations of threatening behaviour. the bbc has insisted that they have robust duty of care protocols. they have robust duty of care protocols-— they have robust duty of care rotocols. :. ~' , :, , : protocols. thank you very much. it is for 50 pm- _ gareth southgate has resigned as the manager of england. his departure comes two days after england lost to spain in the euros final. southgate said, it was time for change. the football association said that southgate had transformed the england team over the last eight years and delivered unforgettable memories. gareth southgate led england to back—to—back finals of the euros, but fell in the final hurdle in both 2021 and 2024. former england striker debbie day, one of the original lionesses reacted to the news about southgate's resignation. i'm sad to hear that gareth's decided to to go because he's left a really good legacy. and whoever picks up that has got a fantastic platform

on which to build on now. he's brought so much to not just to the men's game, but a lot to the women's game, as well. he was incredibly supportive of the women's lionesses and right through right down to grassroots level. so inclusive. he totally believed in diversity and equality. and ijust hope whoever they bring in carry on with that. it was interesting because we've heard in so many tributes, people talking about how he changed the culture, how he made people want to play for england again, how he connected with the fans, how he sort of built that squad mentality and so many of those traits. you could say exactly the same with the lionesses, couldn't you? absolutely. you know, he was very supportive of serena. he was also very supportive of phil neville before serena and he, you know, he... what is it? he says football is football no matter who kicks a ball. so, that kind of tells

you what you know, goes through gareth southgate is pretty much like a stick of rock. um, and... he's humble. he's a quiet kind of guy. but he communicates so, so effectively. and he's got very high level of emotional intelligence. you mentioned sarina wiegman. i was fascinated because in the various talk about successes, i saw her name being mentioned and people were making the point. she has won tournaments for more than one country, notjust england. she is known to the fa. they like the culture she has brought in. would you like to see her being considered realistically for thisjob? well, that's the point, isn't it? would she be considered realistically, i don't know, um, personally on a selfish level, i hope she stays with the lionesses because she's hugely successful.

could she do the job? absolutely. no doubt about it. and if we're going down the line of diversity and all inclusivity, then why not? debbie day talking to me a little wild believe while ago. southgate had 102 games in charge during his eight—year reign. ahead of sunday's final, in which england were beaten by spain — some of those closest to him spoke about what he'd brought to the england job. let's take a look. i know this guy inside out. there's a real intellectual, intelligent man there with a beautiful humanity. gareth, congratulations on your appointment. must be a great honour for you to be the name of the

new england manager. yeah, i'm extremely proud myself, my family, everybody _ that has helped me on myjourney within football as a player- or a coach. getting the job is one thing. i i want to do the job successfully. england were terribly perceived before gareth southgate came in. no fight. no identity. no belief. this is surely as bad as it's ever been for england! there was no connection from the fans. we was almost like a laughing stock. gareth southgate has changed the narrative around the squad. he made all the players open up on the eve of the 2018 world cup. he basically humanised the england squad again. he tells you as it is, he tells you where you stand. that's the most you can ask for in a new manager. someone that's honest. gareth southgate is a man of huge principles.

if you've got a man at the top of the helm with his culture, his respect, his values, these guys are going to follow suit and they're going to love it. there was this bond. it's almost like father—son or older brother—younger brother. you can see the players love him. they all want to play for that man. i owe gareth so much. he's been immense for me personally. gareth is... he's been absolutely fantastic to each and every one of us. i feel a big part of it. is he's been in our shoes. let me tell you, that was tough at the time. he's lived what we're living. gareth southgate's experience as a player have been absolutely fundamental to his success as a manager. he gives me a lot of confidence and i can trust him.

i'm always grateful for that. you've got a guy here that will take the fear out of you playing football. we've had some incredible nights over the last seven, eight years. the only reason i did the job when i took it on was to tryi and bring success to england as a nation, and to try- and improve english football. that whole concept of service to the nation is embedded in gareth southgate. you're talking to probably the most patriotic guy that i know. i when i took thisjob, i'd had three i years as a premier league manager. i've now had 100 internationals, some of the biggest games i in world football. you learn all the time from that. he's a very, very strong individual. far tougher than advertised.

we all want to be loved, right? when you're doing something i for your country and you're a proud englishman and you don't feel that back, and when all you read - is criticism, it's hard. it's hard. he's invested into these boys, notjust as footballers, but as human beings. we've been on this journey together. we've helped change the perception of england, the culture of england. that's a team that wants to do everything possible for the man who's leading them. sunday will define me for others. but it won't for myself. hello there.

things have brightened up. once the storms that are coming will move on overnight, the weather will become warmer and drier. that is mainly because we are going to replace low pressure with high pressure that is moving in from the south—west which will bring with it a rise in temperatures. still some heavy showers this evening across north—east england and scotland. showers elsewhere will fade away more quickly. skies will clear as it becomes dry overnight and temperatures will be around ten or ii temperatures will be around ten or 11 degrees. heading into tomorrow, though, a sunny start and temperatures will rise quickly leading to cloud development. a risk or one to make light showers. on the whole, it should be dry and with

sunshine featured feel warmer and be a few degrees higher than what we saw today. we could reach 25 degrees on wednesday afternoon. it is not particularly impressive for this time of year, but it will get higher later in the week. this is going to bring cloud and patchy rain. that will bring us higher temperatures. with this weather front, it will bring cloud all the way down through to the sea with england and well seeing more in the way of sunshine and the temperatures continuing to rise and reaching 27 degrees in the south of england. it will not be as warm as that in northern ireland or scotland. rain will be confined to the far north—west and will brighten up the far north—west and will brighten up maybe. it is england and wales where we will will see the dryer weather and the temperatures will

rise. the warmth may push towards the north with higher timbers in the south east. unfortunately, it looks like things will change over the weekend. it is wet weather and a drop in the temperatures. live from london. this is bbc news. a body found in tenerife has been identified as british teenagerjay slater, a spanish court says he suffered multiple injuries consistent with a fall. lam i am reporting from tenerife where the local authorities have confirmed that the body found yesterday is that the body found yesterday is that of the british teenagerjay slater.

let's speak to reporter guy hedgecoe, who's in tenerife for us. just tell us more about what the authorities have actually said. well, the body of course it was found yesterday by mountain rescue police officers. they say that the time they believe this was the body of jay slater because of where it was located. today, we were told that the documents found on the body belonged to jay slater. and then we received information from the judicial authorities, confirming that it was jay slater. and that was due to a forensic investigation that had been taken place. for example, the fingerprints on the body or those of jay slater. and they also said that the cause of death had been multiple trauma caused by a

fall into rocky terrain. so, that is confirmed that it was indeed to jay slater. this was something that was apparent yesterday when the body was found. bind apparent yesterday when the body was found. : g :. , apparent yesterday when the body was found. : i, ,, ., �*, apparent yesterday when the body was found. : ,, :, �*, :, apparent yesterday when the body was found. : ,,., �*, :, found. and jay slater's mother has been talking _ found. and jay slater's mother has been talking about _ found. and jay slater's mother has been talking about the _ found. and jay slater's mother has been talking about the absolute i been talking about the absolute heartbreak after this news was confirmed and every aspect of this has been so difficult, the search went on for such a long time with so many difficulties, didn't it? yes. many difficulties, didn't it? yes, the search _ many difficulties, didn't it? yes, the search has _ many difficulties, didn't it? yes, the search has gone _ many difficulties, didn't it? yes, the search has gone on - many difficulties, didn't it? yes, the search has gone on for- many difficulties, didn't it? i9: the search has gone on for almost a month. the terrain where jay slater went missing is very difficult to search, that was always a problem for the police who were carrying out that search. they used drones and helicopters and sniffer dogs to look for him. one of the big problems with the fact that there were all these chasms and gorges and cliffs, thick vegetation as well. and that has all impeded the search and that

has all impeded the search and that has really explained why it took so long to find the body. there were people who felt that there was not enough effort made to find him. but i think the police feel that there was a simple explanation, the terrain was so difficult. but of course, now, the search is finally over. :. ~' course, now, the search is finally over. ., ~ , :, course, now, the search is finally over. :, ~ , :, y course, now, the search is finally over. ., ~ , . gareth southgate has resigned as the manager of england. his departure comes two days after england lost to spain in the euros final. southgate said it was time for change. the football association said that southgate had 'transformed' the england team over the last eight years and delivered unforgettable memories. gareth southgate led england to back—to—back finals of the euros — but fell in the final hurdle in both 2021 and 2024. the prince and princess of wales have tweeted saying thank you for creating a team that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world's finest in 2024. thank you for showing humility,

compassion, and true leadership, under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. and thank you for being an all—round class act. you should be incredibly proud of what you've achieved. this report from katie gornall. they say when one door closes, another one opens. this one happened almost by accident. eight years ago gareth southgate stepped into the void left unexpectedly by sam allardyce. england's humiliation against iceland still hung in the air and the challenge facing this inexperienced international manager was huge. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i think i said a few weeks ago some jobs are more difficult than others, some more complex, this is certainly one of those. true to his word, southgate went on to prove that this wasn't an impossible job. he changed the culture and the team. and then in 2018, this happened. england won their first world cup penalty shoot—out. they would go out in the semi—finals to croatia, but southgate had

made fans fall in love with the team again. these were the waistcoat years, and southgate was the one. sport and football in particular can really bring connection for a country and it feels from what we are being told and the little bits we're seeing that that is the case. at euro 2020 england beat germany on their way to reaching the final against italy. southgate was on the brink of leading england men to their first major trophy in 55 years. it ended in heartbreak. his tactics were questioned, and later his future, as in the build—up to the qatar world cup england were humiliated 4—0 by hungary. the reaction from the stands was poisonous and had a profound effect. two years on, after some disappointing performances from his star—studded team at the euros, plastic beer cups were thrown at him. relations with the fans seemed strained to the point of breaking. but the england bandwagon kept rolling and their run to the final

got many back onside. sunday's 2—1 defeat to spain in berlin would be southgate's final act as england manager. in a statement today he said, "as a proud englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for england and to manage england. it has meant everything to me, and i've given it my all, but it's time for a change and for a new chapter." there will be questions whether southgate 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. that could prove a tough act to follow. katie gornall, bbc news. we can speak now to the former england manager, sam allardyce. welcome here to the programme, your reaction when you heard this news? i wasjust surprised, i think that reaction when you heard this news? i was just surprised, i think that the pressure builds, the years go by

being the england manager. after eight years being the third longest serving managerfor england, it is a particularly long. for any manager that manages at international level. i think that he has done his very best, i think that the team has proven that and the record has proven that and the record has proven that. even though criticism has been sent his way on many occasions in these finals. that is not unusual for being the manager of england, of course, whoever it might be. it is one of those jobs where on one hand it is the most honourable job you can get, and on the other hand you have to have pretty strong skin to actually cope with what follows. i think he has done brilliant from that point of view. he has always kept his nerve, he has never lost control, to be honest with you. even though some criticism has come his way, and his track record proves he has been exceptionally good, let's face it. i

will come back to the record in the performances and everything we have seenin performances and everything we have seen in this tournament in a moment or two, seen in this tournament in a moment ortwo, but seen in this tournament in a moment or two, but you made the point about being england manager. you of course, a short tenure. butjust give me a sense of what that bubble is like. it seems to the outside world to be one of the toughest gigs you can get. it world to be one of the toughest gigs you can get-— you can get. it was a short bit of time, you can get. it was a short bit of time. but _ you can get. it was a short bit of time. but the — you can get. it was a short bit of time, but the intrusion - you can get. it was a short bit of time, but the intrusion was i you can get. it was a short bit of - time, but the intrusion was massive. i think that is one of the things that you must become accustomed to, no matter where you go, wherever you stay, whatever you do. if it is not the press or the media, it is somebody or at one of the public trying to get a picture or something like that. it becomes quite difficult to actually be able to enjoy an evening with your family. you have to accept that, it goes with the territory. but like i said, you know, over the period of time, actually put in that position is a great honour. i think that everybody or anybody that gets up that

position from now should see it through, because it is one of the bestjobs through, because it is one of the best jobs you through, because it is one of the bestjobs you can get if you are an englishman. find best jobs you can get if you are an englishman-— best jobs you can get if you are an englishman. best jobs you can get if you are an enalishman. �* ., ., , englishman. and gareth southgate has actuall said englishman. and gareth southgate has actually said that, _ englishman. and gareth southgate has actually said that, i _ englishman. and gareth southgate has actually said that, i will _ englishman. and gareth southgate has actually said that, i will come - englishman. and gareth southgate has actually said that, i will come onto - actually said that, i will come onto actually said that, i will come onto a successor in the moment. but in terms of that record that we were talking about, what have you made of the performances in this tournament, because they struggled at times. and you had fans throwing glasses of beer at the manager, as he went to try to apply... did you understand that sort of response from fans, from the media, from others? what did you make of when you thought that? . , did you make of when you thought that? i , , , did you make of when you thought that? i, i, did you make of when you thought that? a, i, that? criticised, yes, you get criticised- — that? criticised, yes, you get criticised. i— that? criticised, yes, you get criticised. i mean, _ that? criticised, yes, you get criticised. i mean, i- that? criticised, yes, you get criticised. i mean, ifelt- that? criticised, yes, you get criticised. i mean, i felt that| that? criticised, yes, you get - criticised. i mean, i felt that when criticised. i mean, ifelt that when somebody asked my opinion i said if it was me, i would have made different changes and different sort of earlier, i would've tried to get the team to move the ball quicker.

that was constructive criticism from me. some of the other criticism obviously was perhaps went a bit beyond. obviously, dealing with all of that is difficult. if you're listening to it all, if you can hear it all, you have to try and blank yourself off from that because it can impeach yourjudgment. it is the england team, it is the england job, the bottom line is at the end of the day it is about winning, and they got through to the final. we would have all like them to have played much better football, have all like them to have played much betterfootball, but that have all like them to have played much better football, but that did not happen and he still got there, it shows a lot of resilience. and from the staff. they were outplayed, i think, in the final. spain were the better team. so, that is no real reflection on gareth southgate, it is just the players on spain were better, the players on england on that day. better, the players on england on that da . , , better, the players on england on thatda. , , a, that day. yes, but 2 euros finals, a world cup —

fascinating, _ was the only thing. it is fascinating, looking - was the only thing. it is fascinating, looking at. was the only thing. it is i fascinating, looking at the was the only thing. it is fascinating, looking at the quality of the squad, it gives people hope going forward. in terms of, you played with him and you have watched him over the recent years managing. it is a toughjob, as i was talking to sam about. what do you think his standout qualities are? i just to sam about. what do you think his standout qualities are?— standout qualities are? i 'ust think he is... standout qualities are? i 'ust think he is. .. rhe — standout qualities are? i 'ust think he is... the way h standout qualities are? i 'ust think he is... the way that _ standout qualities are? i 'ust think he is... the way that he _ standout qualities are? i just think he is... the way that he handled i he is... the way that he handled everything. there was no break in his character. no significant break. yes, he was happy or unhappy, but it was not like he was breaking down or losing control, in a positive way. when he sent his message out, when he stepped down, he mentioned the people who were working with him. i think as well the fa have to be congratulated in what has happened over the last seven or eight years. because gareth was at the head of something which had fundamentally changed within the fa structure. everyone working in the back rooms if you like, from fees he owes to the technical assistance and whoever. they were all putting their

shift into it make england or give england the best chance to be in the best place. i think gareth, with the criticism and all euphoria from one moment to another, he kept his character about him and his control about him, i thought he was a fantastic tournament. he kept his decisions the right way. and was ever so close to actually going all the way. ever so close to actually going all the wa . 1 , ., ever so close to actually going all thewa .1 , . , ., . the way. just a couple of final questions. — the way. just a couple of final questions. i— the way. just a couple of final questions, iwill— the way. just a couple of final questions, i will ask- the way. just a couple of final questions, i will ask you - the way. just a couple of final| questions, i will ask you about the way. just a couple of final - questions, i will ask you about who you think perhaps should replace him. at the players loved playing for him, just about every single one, you canjust see it from for him, just about every single one, you can just see it from the words they chose. but do you think he was ruthless enough at the key moments? i he was ruthless enough at the key moments? ., ., he was ruthless enough at the key moments? . . , , moments? i am laughing, because there is always _ moments? i am laughing, because there is always a _ moments? i am laughing, because there is always a negative - moments? i am laughing, because there is always a negative spin - there is always a negative spin because we did not win a tournament. we got to the finals, and in particular i think one in berlin. there were three very good moments where we could have equalise. had it not been for defending, tackling

ollie watkins, things which on another day, i know it is easy to say, on another day they work out. this is after we have come back from i-o. had this is after we have come back from i—o. had things gone slightly differently for us than we might have different conversation right now. he did not buckle to the pressure that he had to play a certain system of the time, certain players which he had not been playing before. he was getting things right. and the fine margins ultimately, against the best team in european championship history in spain, they won every game. we lost to the best team, it is not like we ended up getting beat by somebody who had half a decent tournament, we lost to the best team. sometimes, especially as a sports person, you have to say if you are going to get beaten by the best and you have to accept that. beaten by the best and you have to accept that-— accept that. those are the fine mar: ins accept that. those are the fine margins and — accept that. those are the fine margins and top _ accept that. those are the fine margins and top class - accept that. those are the fine margins and top class port. . accept that. those are the fine margins and top class port. al accept that. those are the fine - margins and top class port. a final thought, you heard sam allardyce talking about who he would like to see his england manager, who would you like to see replace him? i had not thought _ you like to see replace him? i had not thought about _ you like to see replace him? i had not thought about it _ you like to see replace him? i i—c not thought about it before you like to see replace him? i “i—c not thought about it before because i did not know what gareth was going to do and i did not want to start

time. now, let's turn away to that news that we brought you in the last hour, the bbc have said they will be taking additional steps to strengthen welfare and support on the programme strictly come dancing. after complaints during training and rehearsals. one contestant said she was involved in an instant which he now finds incredible distressing to watch back. her dance partner has left the show. on saturday the bbc confirmed that he was no longer a part of the line—up, he said he deeply regrets the events leading up to his departure and acknowledged that his intense passion and determination to win might have affected his training or gene. our reporter gave me this update.

the bbc said that concerns have arisen in recent months specifically regarding training and rehearsal. it is introducing a number of measures. it will put a member of strictly production staff in all future rehearsals, a chaperone. there are also going to be two new dedicated welfare producers on the show and they also talked about future further training being introduced as well. as you say, all of this follows complaints that have arisen about the behaviour of two former professional dancers during training. earliertoday, we professional dancers during training. earlier today, we were bringing you that news as you say of zara, a participant on the show last year. she had posted a statement this morning on instagram and in it she said that so much of her experience had been a dream come true, everything that she could have tramped out. but she said that her experience inside the training room had been very different. she said there were videos of particular incidents which were incredibly

distressing, she said, to watch. she said that she feared originally, she was fearing a public backlash if she opened up. she says that she has now gained the strength to face those fears and to open up and to speak to bbc managers about what she says that she has gone through. now, she appears on the show last year. she was partnered with this man on last year's series. today a bbc source told us that no complaints were made against him during that series, however they did say a producer who attended our rehearsal did ask him to be more considerate with his training. as we understand, that matter was resolved at the time to everyone's satisfaction. on saturday, the bbc confirmed that graziano would not be taking part in this year's show. he has rejected allegations that his behaviour was abusive or threatening and he says he is cooperating fully with the bbc

for investigation. it all comes off to another professional, former professional dancer, who has also left the show. that followed reports about his teaching methods. he has also rejected any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour. and as i say, the bbc has all along insisted that it does have robust duty of care protocols. vaughan gething has quit as the first minister of wales, just four months into the job. he said he will begin the process of stepping down as leader of the welsh labour party and recognised that rebuilding and renewal was "not possible" under his leadership. it comes after four welsh ministers resigned this morning, calling for the first minister to stand down. mr gething has come under criticism in recent months over a series of rows concerning donations he took while running to be welsh labour leader. let's take a listen to vaughan gething addressing the senedd a short time ago. i wanted to give power to those without a voice. to help to make our country a better

place for all of us. that has always been my motivation. i campaigned to help create the senedd, clock at 30 years of work to support wales's devolution journey. this has been an incredibly difficult time for me, and for my family. a growing assertion of some kind of wrongdoing has taken place has been pernicious, politically motivated, and patently untrue. i have worked hard, followed the rules, and done really difficult and demanding jobs for my country. in 11 years as a minister, i have never, ever, made a decision for personal gain. i have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial position. my integrity matters. i have not compromised it.

i regret that the burden of proof is no longer an important commodity in the language of our politics. and i do hope for all of our sakes that that can change. i will now discuss with the welsh executive of my party a timetable for the election of a new leader of wales labour. i will then confirm a timetable to formally stand down as the first minister of my country. for more on how all this came about and let's speak to our news correspondent lucy vladev. lucy, take me through the reaction and why has this a blown up in the way it has today?— and why has this a blown up in the way it has today? yes. this has been a very dramatic— way it has today? yes. this has been a very dramatic day _ way it has today? yes. this has been a very dramatic day here _ way it has today? yes. this has been a very dramatic day here in _ way it has today? yes. this has been a very dramatic day here in wales. i a very dramatic day here in wales. that is echoed by the quite dramatic responses we have had today. the chaos of labour in the past few months has been unforgivable, that was echoed by the conservatives, the

green party saying it was long overdue for vaughan gething to resign. vaughan gething, the shortest ever serving first minister after just four months. shortest ever serving first minister afterjust four months. in that short amount of time perhaps is not quite convey the amount of drama we have had in that time. first of all, there were controversy questions asked about a £200,000 a donation by asked about a £200,000 a donation by a businessman who was found to have been convicted environmental offences, and then there is the issue of hannah bly then. she was sacked as a minister by vaughan gething for leaking text messages to the press. vaughan gething said because she was the source of that leak, she had to go. hannah has said that she did not leak that information, in fact, the publication came out not so long ago saying that she was not the source of their information. that controversy led to a no—confidence vote in vaughan gething last month, which he lost. but decided to stay on. up until a few days ago, he

actually had pretty wide support from the labour party, including the now prime minister keir starmer. but something has shifted in the tone in the past few days. jeremy miles, who was up against vaughan gething during the last leadership contest, refusing during an interview to back him and show his support. and then today those four resignations. by lunchtime today, vaughan gething was gone. what happens now? well, another leadership contest is due. we do not have a timeline for that, we do not have hats in the ring yet. but we have heard that we may get a new welsh first minister by autumn. thank you very much for the latest there from cardiff, let's switch to there from cardiff, let's switch to the us. 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 — although didn't speak — at the republican national convention in milwaukee. there was rapturous applause and cheers from his supporters. he's now been officially confirmed as the party's candidate

for the presidential election in november. let's go live to wisconsin. give an idea of viewers watching what it was like being in that hall for the first public appearance? hello, it reall was first public appearance? hello, it really was a _ first public appearance? hello, it really was a very _ first public appearance? hello, it really was a very unique - first public appearance? hello, it really was a very unique a - first public appearance? hello, it i really was a very unique a moment. you have to say that donald trump made this incredible entrance, he was standing in the wings with the cameras following him the entire time. this convention centre is actually a basketball arena, it is huge, you have huge screens everywhere and cameras following his everywhere and cameras following his every movement. and you have donald trump standing there looking subdued, as we have said, perhaps even emotional, if you will. he appeared to get choked up when he heard people chanting his name. he walks through the crowd, waving and raising his fists. you heard if you chance go up through the crowd, of course, usa and trump but also the word fight. it is interesting

because that appears to have become something of a slogan now for donald trump supporters. when he has stood up trump supporters. when he has stood up on that stage after the assassination attempt on saturday, he raised his fist and we saw him do that again and now we keep hearing these chance among delegates who we spoke to a fight, fight, fight. we heard that go up through the crowd. he took his seat then, just behind us, he took a seat with his family member surrounding him. us, he took a seat with his family membersurrounding him. his son in tears and you really got the feeling that everybody had so anticipated that everybody had so anticipated that moment of seeing the former president again for the first time since that assassination attempt. and even with that bandage dear it was a joyous moment, i would say, for so many people. that is something we have heard reflected this morning on the floor. you something we have heard reflected this morning on the floor.— this morning on the floor. you are tellin: this morning on the floor. you are telling me — this morning on the floor. you are telling me the _ this morning on the floor. you are telling me the last _ this morning on the floor. you are telling me the last time _ this morning on the floor. you are telling me the last time we - this morning on the floor. you are telling me the last time we spoke | telling me the last time we spoke that you are expecting to see donald trump on the floor again a little later. we had last night the name of that vice president paik, what is

the thinking, this strategy, behind the thinking, this strategy, behind the man they have gone for? it is very interesting. _ the man they have gone for? it is very interesting. jd _ the man they have gone for? it 3 very interesting. jd vance first and foremost is very loyal to donald trump. he is 39—year—old senator from the state of ohio, a military veteran. many of our viewers will remember or might know that he wrote his memoir, hillbilly elegy, and again fame through that it was made into a movie. it described a blue—collar upbringing and rise to success, american dream. i think what donald trump is trying to do in this pic is to tap into that precisely. but also the midwest, the rust belt. these are states that are crucially important to donald trump, ohio itself is considered republican. but michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, these are states that are critical on the path to presidency. jd vance is a very secure pic for donald trump. it is also important to say that he is 39

years old, he is seen as a young luminary of the right—wing populist movement in the us, that he represents the future of make america great again. in a way, donald trump is cementing his legacy. we know that he wants to win another term in office, that would be a second. withjd vance we would know that his vision and movement would be moved forward. aha, know that his vision and movement would be moved forward.— would be moved forward. a final thouuht would be moved forward. a final thought about _ would be moved forward. a final thought about joe _ would be moved forward. a final thought about joe biden, - would be moved forward. a final thought about joe biden, he - would be moved forward. a final thought about joe biden, he hasi thought aboutjoe biden, he has given another sit down interview with nbc. there were a couple of awkward exchanges. has the climber gone quiet for a replacement or simply been paused? —— the climber gone quiet. it simply been paused? -- the climber one cuiet. ., simply been paused? -- the climber gone quiet-— gone quiet. it has been paused. we have 'ust gone quiet. it has been paused. we have just had _ gone quiet. it has been paused. we have just had a _ gone quiet. it has been paused. we have just had a report _ gone quiet. it has been paused. we have just had a report come - gone quiet. it has been paused. we have just had a report come out - have just had a report come out saying that there is now this renewed insurgency on capitol hill with democrats and members of congress. they have written a letter saying that they do not want the democratic national committee to move ahead with something called a

virtual roll call vote. essentially, what this is is we saw yesterday here the roll call vote is where the delegates officially nominate their candidate. here it was donald trump. the democrats have said they on friday want to do this virtually, what that would do is steal president biden in as their candidate before the convention even takes place in august. now you have democrats on capitol hill saying cold on a minute, we have that convention, we wanted to be a competitive process. indeed, it looks like that fight continues, battle continues. president biden, certainly from his perspective says this is over, i am the candidate. but it it appears this question is not going away anytime soon. thank ou ve not going away anytime soon. thank you very much- _ let's pause from all of that. let's catch up with the sports. there's only really one place to

start! there's only one place to start and england manager gareth southgate has resigned two days after defeat by spain in the 2024 european championship final. southgate took the job on a permanent basis in november 2016 and managed his country for 102 games over almost eight years — taking them to a world cup semifinal and two european championship finals. he's the only manager bar sir alf ramsey to lead the england men's team into a major tournament final. so, with southgate now gone, who could be set to replace him? former chief football writer for the times, henry winter, for the times, henry winter, gave us his assessment earlier. the football association has to choose whether they want to go home or whether they really just want the person who they see is the best to look beyond the passport. being realistic, if they're going for the latter, pochettino, who has worked with young players, very popular and

with young players, very popular and with the media, he would be an obvious choice. i hear about pep guardiola and jurgen klopp. i think that would just be amazing if they actually considered it. of the english candidates, the best individual is eddie howell, because of his experience —— howe. i imagine if they take a little bit of time to get the right person, they will be asked to do the interim in the first game will be in dublin. that will be an interesting reaction. obviously, graham potter, he would absolutely be a. attention will switch to the women's european championship in the next half an hour. qualification is up for grabs and there are 25 group matches to be played on tuesday night. defending champions england just need to avoid defeat in their match against sweden in gothenburg to qualify for euro 2025. sarina wiegman's side also have a bit of a safety net in that

were sweden to win, the lionesses would still enter the play—offs instead. 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. scotland, meanwhile, take on serbia. 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 — they're taking on kosovo at parc y scarlets in llanelli. the kosovans have lost all five games so far, so even a draw this evening for wales would see them into the top tier of the nations league as well, while also helping their playoff draw for euro 2025.

northern ireland need a win against bosnia to make sure of second place in their group, which would improve their draw for the play—offs in october. they go into the game at windsor park level on points with their opponents. tiger woods returns to action at the open this week, with the is—time major champion facing questions about his future at the top level of golf. the american is set to compete in all four majors of the calendar year for the first time since 2019, with his schedule being hampered by injury in recent seasons. i've been training a lot better. we've — i've been training a lot better. we've been— i've been training a lot better. we've been busting _ i've been training a lot better. we've been busting up- i've been training a lot better. we've been busting up prettyl i've been training a lot better. - we've been busting up pretty hard in the gym. _ we've been busting up pretty hard in the gym. which — we've been busting up pretty hard in the gym. which has _ we've been busting up pretty hard in the gym, which has been _ we've been busting up pretty hard in the gym, which has been good. - we've been busting up pretty hard in the gym, which has been good. i'vel the gym, which has been good. i've been _ the gym, which has been good. i've been feeling — the gym, which has been good. i've been feeling better— the gym, which has been good. i've been feeling better to _ the gym, which has been good. i've been feeling better to do _ the gym, which has been good. i've been feeling better to do such - been feeling better to do such things. — been feeling better to do such things. and _ been feeling better to do such things. and it— been feeling better to do such things, and it translates. - been feeling better to do such| things, and it translates. can't quite — things, and it translates. can't quite stay— things, and it translates. can't quite stay out _ things, and it translates. can't quite stay out there _ things, and it translates. can't quite stay out there on - things, and it translates. can't quite stay out there on there i things, and it translates. can'ti quite stay out there on there as long _ quite stay out there on there as long as — quite stay out there on there as long as i — quite stay out there on there as long as i like. _ quite stay out there on there as long as i like, but _ quite stay out there on there as long as i like, but i've - quite stay out there on there as long as i like, but i've managed quite stay out there on there as i long as i like, but i've managed to do more _ long as i like, but i've managed to do more this— long as i like, but i've managed to do more this year. _ and that's all the sport for now. back to you, matthew. thanks so much. let's get more now on gareth

southgate's resignation, two days after england lost to spain in the euros final. we can speak now to the former chair of the english fa, david bernstein. thank you, david, for being here. the current fa said that southgate had transformed the england team. do you share that assessment? i england team. do you share that assessment?— england team. do you share that assessment? i think that's there. i think he's done _ assessment? i think that's there. i think he's done a _ assessment? i think that's there. i think he's done a really _ assessment? i think that's there. i think he's done a really good - assessment? i think that's there. i think he's done a really good job i assessment? i think that's there. i | think he's done a really good job -- think he's done a really good job —— thatis think he's done a really good job —— that is fair. i think the team has come on and clearly, we haven't delivered the final hurdle, but with two finals and a semifinal... also, i think we've made good step forward, but there's another not to go. i think spain showed us what thatjump involves. thea;r go. i think spain showed us what thatjump involves.— go. i think spain showed us what thatjump involves. they did, and of course, thatjump involves. they did, and of course. they — thatjump involves. they did, and of course. they won — thatjump involves. they did, and of course, they won the _ thatjump involves. they did, and of course, they won the euros - thatjump involves. they did, and of course, they won the euros a while l course, they won the euros a while ago. they then won the world cup. so, they have been able to do this repeatedly. what you think is the

difference between where we are and perhaps where they have actually come from and now are delivering? that's such a difficult question. if i knew the answer, i said the fa would take... i knew the answer, i said the fa would take. . .— would take... laughter we have _ would take... laughter we have a _ would take... laughter we have a lot _ would take... laughter we have a lot of - would take... laughter l we have a lot of obviously, would take... laughter - we have a lot of obviously, the academy system _ we have a lot of obviously, the academy system and _ we have a lot of obviously, the academy system and so - we have a lot of obviously, the academy system and so on, i academy system and so on, produced some very, very good players. i wonder sometimes if they are... a very high standard in part because they're playing with any fine internationals. —— with money. —— many. that's an incredible strong squad. when they come together, it doesn't quite seem to work the same way. whether that's tactics,

confidence, the weight of history — i don't know. but you look at spain, who as you say have produced a site after side, who as you say have produced a site afterside, playing who as you say have produced a site after side, playing with huge confidence. i think in this tournament we had moments and we recovered very well. jude bellingham was outstanding for me. we didn't play consistently well as the spaniards did.— play consistently well as the saniards did. , . , . ,, spaniards did. yes, and perhaps in revious spaniards did. yes, and perhaps in previous tournaments, _ spaniards did. yes, and perhaps in previous tournaments, we - spaniards did. yes, and perhaps in previous tournaments, we played l previous tournaments, we played better consistently. tell me about the process that now the fa will be activating in the search for a new manager. activating in the search for a new mana . er. activating in the search for a new manauer. , ,,. . , activating in the search for a new manatel’, , ,,. ., ,., manager. the process changes over time, and manager. the process changes over time. and each _ manager. the process changes over time, and each group _ manager. the process changes over time, and each group of _ manager. the process changes over time, and each group of executives| time, and each group of executives and the chief executive will do it differently. my personal view is that we need to identify a candidate that we need to identify a candidate that you really want and go for that

person. i think on occasions, we attempted to interview various people and play the field and it doesn't really work. it sort of leaks, people know what's going on. it puts huge pressure on everybody. it puts huge pressure on everybody. i think they need to sort out who their favourite candidate is i think they need to sort out who theirfavourite candidate is in someone they can expect to accept an offer and go for the person. that’s offer and go for the person. that's a really interesting _ offer and go for the person. that's a really interesting insight. - offer and go for the person. that's a really interesting insight. you i a really interesting insight. you don't think, with all of these names that are flying around — eddie howe, graham potter, jurgen klopp — you graham potter, jurgen klopp - you don't think they graham potter, jurgen klopp — you don't think they should perhaps talk to all of them? you think zero in on one and stick with that?— one and stick with that? you're deahnu one and stick with that? you're dealing with — one and stick with that? you're dealing with a _ one and stick with that? you're dealing with a very _ one and stick with that? you're dealing with a very high - one and stick with that? you're| dealing with a very high profile, very experienced people of huge demand. i'm not sure that some of them would actually be very happy about being part of a recruitment

process. this is something very special. so, no, ithink it's process. this is something very special. so, no, i think it's about standing possible candidates, but i personally think the fa need to work out which are those. whether it's an english manager or someone who's in a job at the moment, look at 20 or 30 criteria that are relevant here and sort out all and all who is their favourite candidate. what is their favourite candidate. what is the quality. _ their favourite candidate. what is the quality, though, _ their favourite candidate. what is the quality, though, that - their favourite candidate. what is the quality, though, that you - their favourite candidate. what is the quality, though, that you are | the quality, though, that you are looking for? are you looking to take on the culture, change the culture, stick with the culture? what is it that the fa needs to zero in on? i think they have made great strides under garris, but i think we need to take it on a stage further, and i

think don't change the culture. it's working very well —— gareth under. we need to build on that culture and develop at much greater level of confidence. it generally doesn't play very much... they came back extremely well two or three times, but on the whole, they play slowly in the spanish were the best side in the tournament. this is not an easy job. i the tournament. this is not an easy 'ob. ., , the tournament. this is not an easy 'ob. . , . ~' the tournament. this is not an easy 'ob. . , . ~ ., the tournament. this is not an easy 'ob. ., . ,, ., the tournament. this is not an easy 'ob. . ,, ., , job. i was talking to david davis, and he listed _ job. i was talking to david davis, and he listed all _ job. i was talking to david davis, and he listed all the _ job. i was talking to david davis, and he listed all the different - and he listed all the different qualities — dealing with media, dealing with clubs, and i could keep going on. in terms of what we heard, sam alla rdyce

going on. in terms of what we heard, sam allardyce said he thought it had to be an english manager. are you wedded to a thought like that or would you throw the wider? i would throw the pool _ would you throw the wider? i would throw the pool wider. _ would you throw the wider? i would throw the poolwider. i— would you throw the wider? i would throw the pool wider. i think - would you throw the wider? i would throw the pool wider. i think the i throw the pool wider. i think the best manager, if these english, that's great. that would be a great benefit. i know how we go for if we could get it, but that would be jurgen klopp. i thinkjurgen klopp meets every requirement. he's incredibly charismatic, he's brave, his experience, he's played for the very top players, worked with, he's had success at his club. and i think he would... he's got that sort of confidence and positivity that i think the english site needs on top of other qualities. he is who i

it will be really hurting him at the moment that they haven't managed to win a trophy, a tournament. i think once the dust settles, he will be enormously proud of what he's done over the years. enormously proud of what he's done over the years-— over the years. you've known him a ve lona over the years. you've known him a very long time- _ over the years. you've known him a very long time. just _ over the years. you've known him a very long time. just give _ over the years. you've known him a very long time. just give me - over the years. you've known him a very long time. just give me a i over the years. you've known him a | very long time. just give me a sense of the man because he has brought to the squad huge resilience. would you say that was one of the attributes that he has? he say that was one of the attributes that he has?— that he has? he has enormous resilience- _ that he has? he has enormous resilience. you _ that he has? he has enormous resilience. you don't _ that he has? he has enormous resilience. you don't get i that he has? he has enormous resilience. you don't get to i that he has? he has enormous resilience. you don't get to be| that he has? he has enormous. resilience. you don't get to be a professional footballer, you resilience. you don't get to be a professionalfootballer, you don't get to be an england footballer, you get to be an england footballer, you get to be in england manager without having enormous resilience. he absently has that. he will manage this next few weeks very well —— he absolutely has that. it won't be easy, but he'll manage it. i think he's brought that to the side, he's also brought in emotional intelligence, a modern leadership to it. ithink intelligence, a modern leadership to it. i think he's modernised the england national team set up. i

end, you are feeling it. he will have managed in a dignified manner, as he did, but it's impossible not to just take that a little as a human being. i think sometimes, you may sense as a leader that the mood is changing. i compare it to being the prime minister or a top politician. the very things that people love you for, they start to throw at you as things turn. it's very rare those jobs that is on their own terms. in respects, some it has finished on his own terms, but maybe not in the way they wanted to. he but maybe not in the way they wanted to. , ., but maybe not in the way they wanted to. , . , . _ to. he started the statement by sa in: it to. he started the statement by saying it was — to. he started the statement by saying it was an _ to. he started the statement by saying it was an absolute - to. he started the statement by i saying it was an absolute honour, and of course he was a great player before that. when you guys were 15 at crystal palace, did you talk about careers, england, all that? hate about careers, england, all that? we did, about careers, england, all that? 2 did, we use to get the trains to

are looking for a seventh individual who was part of the group booking. the investigation is also looking into whether a toxic substance was used. the prime minister has ordered an investigation. with me is our reporterje seung lee for some clarity on this. i gave some of the details, butjust go through more of what actually happened. in go through more of what actually ha ened. . , go through more of what actually ha ened. ., ., , happened. in the last few hours, the thai prime minister _ happened. in the last few hours, the thai prime minister and _ happened. in the last few hours, the thai prime minister and police i thai prime minister and police officials have held a conference where they found these six bodies. as you mentioned, the thailand police found what they called suspicious substances in these glasses. they were found in the room and the dna from the glasses match to those who died in the room. they are saying they are not ruling out anything because the cause of the death and the motives are very unclear. it still developing. the

doors were locked from inside, so police are suspecting that this could have been an insidejob. but as ijust said, it's very unclear at the moment. there were total seven people who made the bookings and they were able to find that five of those seven, five people checked into this hotel and six bodies were found. one of those bodies did not match the bookings, so out of those... it's very unclear in the death and the autopsy will have to establish how these people died. there were three women and men. the prime minister has been seen, i gather, that he's ordered investigation. they are all significant.— investigation. they are all significant. investigation. they are all sian1ificant. , ., , significant. just hours after they soke, significant. just hours after they

and temperatures will dip away to around 10 or 11 degrees — a few short—lived mist and fog patches in western areas. heading into tomorrow, though, on the whole, a sunny start and a lovely day on the way. temperatures will rise quickly. that will lead to some cloud development, and there's just the risk of one or two light showers, but on the whole, it should be dry and with light winds and some sunshine. it's going to feel a lot warmer and temperatures are going to be a few degrees higher than what we saw today — we could actually reach 25 degrees on wednesday afternoon for the first time this month. on wednesday afternoon 25 is not particularly impressive for this time of the year, but we're going to find temperatures getting higher than that later on in the week. there is a weather front in the northwest that's going to bring some cloud and some patchy rain, but ahead of that, we're drawing in southerly breezes, bringing us these higher temperatures. with that weather front, we've got this cloud across scotland, northern ireland,

through the irish sea, with most of the showers, england and wales seeing more in the way of sunshine again. those temperatures continuing to rise, reaching 27 degrees, actually, in the south east of england. and northern ireland, and there'll still be more cloud here, at least to start with on friday. any rain becoming confined to the walls of far northwest may well brighten up. but again, it's across england and wales where we'll see the drier weather with more sunshine and those temperatures continuing to rise. the warmth may push a little bit further north, but the highest temperatures, 29 or 30 degrees, are likely in the southeast. is it going to last?

today at 6pm... a day of resignations — two days after england's defeat at the euros final, gareth southgate quits as manager. and anything england can do, wales can do, too. the welsh first minister, vaughan gething, has announced his resignation as well. also tonight... spanish police confirm the human remains found in tenerife are those of the missing teenagerjay slater. his mother says, "our hearts are broken." bandaged, unbowed and back to business — as donald trump names his presidential running mate. and the bbc responds to continuing controversy around strictly come dancing, pledging that celebrity contestants will now be chaperoned during rehearsals. and coming up on bbc news, what next
