oh, no! he understood better than most the pressure england players are under, and so he stepped into the breach eight years ago to fill a void. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i think i said a few weeks ago that some jobs are more difficult than others, some are more complex, this is certainly one of those. true to his word, southgate and his 2018 waistcoat went on to prove it wasn't impossible to change the culture and the team and, briefly, england's feelings about penalties. at euro 2020, england beat germany on their way to reaching the final against italy, but that ended in heartbreak. 60 million armchairfans questioned his tactics and his future when england were humiliated 4—0 by hungary. the reaction from the stands was poisonous. fast—forward to these euros, and a star—studded team failed to sparkle. beer was thrown at him,
10:31 pm
relations seemed strained. but england's unexpected run to the final got many fans and pundits back onside. that defeat to spain though was 102 games and out. he leaves as england's most successful men's manager since 1966. to actually look at an england squad going into the tournament and actually believe, and i mean genuinely believe, that we are capable of winning it, rather than as an england fan or supporterjust generally hoping we can win it, i think he got himself definitely and most of the nation into that position, which is something that no other england manager has done. time for a new chapter, but who will write it? his are big boots to fill. natalie pirks, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz. iam i am pleased to say we have a nice day on the way tomorrow. thumbs up. just a few scattered faux at the clouds during the afternoon and
10:32 pm
perhaps one or two showers developing, but that's small beer compared to what we've had in the last few days. quite right now with clear skies. we had showers earlier in the north but they've cleared. tomorrow morning there might be some mist here and there the temperature is at 1a in london, about that in the north as well, so decent. quite humid and muggy and it will stay like that for the next few days. there is a weak weather front here, quite far away, just brushing ireland and perhaps in north—west scotland, so a bit more cloud here for the in amongst those scattered cumulus clouds, they might grow bigger and give brief showers, but around coastal areas we are talking coastal dry conditions. 0n around coastal areas we are talking coastal dry conditions. on thursday, this weather front makes more progressed east, so western errors could be overcast with some splits and spots around the temperatures by thursday widely in the mid 20s, especially in england. still up to
10:33 pm
20 also in scotland. this is the jet stream, which is sort of shifts to the north, allowing the hot air to spread in from spain, so that means we are going to get a brief spell of hot weather through friday and perhaps saturday trip is not a heat wave, is not long enough. but 30 is on the cards for the south—east and widely into the mid and perhaps upper 20s. scotland and northern ireland always a bit fresher. it's not good to last for very long because, by saturday, temperatures are lower but the humidity will be there for the there could be vicious storms on the way at the weekend. that's it. now on bbc one, let's join our colleagues for the news where you are. you're watching bbc news. hello, i'm catherine byaruhanga. the foreign office says it's supporting the families of two british men reported
10:34 pm
missing in sweden. there've been unconfirmed reports of two men being found shot dead in a burned—out car on an industrial estate in malmo. joining me now is our correspondent greg mckenzie for some more on this. you have been speaking to the police in sweden and the foreign office here. what more can you tell us? what i can tell you is this all comes as swedish police say that two men were found dead in a burned—out car on sunday afternoon in the malmo area of sweden. those deaths being investigated as a double murder. i spoke to one of the police spokespeople in sweden tonight, and he has told me that they are carrying out more forensic testing on these two individuals, the two men that were discovered in this car, but he says that this car had been rented from nearby neighbouring
10:35 pm
denmark, from a denmark airport, and it was only hours later that the car was discovered burned out with two individuals in that car and are deceased, dead, and double werder investigation launched. separately tonight, the foreign and commonwealth office, we approached them for comment, and they have said that they are assisting, supporting the families of two british men reported missing in sweden, and they go on to say, they are in touch with local authorities, go on to say, they are in touch with localauthorities, but go on to say, they are in touch with local authorities, but it would not be pressed on commenting on this double murder or indeed the identities of the suspected reddish nationals in sweden.— identities of the suspected reddish nationals in sweden. thank you very much, nationals in sweden. thank you very much. greg — nationals in sweden. thank you very much. greg -- _ nationals in sweden. thank you very much, greg -- suspected _ nationals in sweden. thank you very much, greg -- suspected british - much, greg —— suspected british nationals. that is greg mckenzie there. to the us now. on his return to the campaign trail in nevada, president biden has been calling for a ban on the type of gun that was used in the attack
10:36 pm
on his rival donald trump. we must stand against violence in america. join me in getting these weapons of war off the streets in america. , the assault weapons that have killed so many people, including children. it is time to outlaw them! i did it once and i will do it again. more now on the england manager gareth southgate resigning, just two days after england lost to spain in the euros final. in a statement, he said, "it's time for change, and for a new chapter." greg dyke is the former chairman of the english football association. he gave me his reaction to gareth southgate's resignation. i wasn't surprised. i think he would have stepped down even if they'd won the tournament. i think he nearly stepped down after the world cup and stayed on for another yearfor this tournament, but i think
10:37 pm
he'd have gone either way. he'd have gone either way. what do you think his legacy will be? 0h, he's brilliant. he's done a greatjob. i mean, we forget... you know, i'm an old bloke. you know, i can remember 50 years where we hardly won or got anywhere in any of the competitions, and this... you know, there were times when we didn't qualify, there were times when we didn't get through the prelims. and this time, for the last recent years, we've won... we've got to the final twice and we've got to the semifinal once in four years. what more do you want? and what do you think was the secret to his success, those successes that you mentioned there? oh, i think he came in determined to make it more like a club atmosphere, and that's what he achieved — you know, that players felt confident in him, they liked him, he liked them. he defended them.
10:38 pm
he never criticised. and it was much more... and that was his intention when he came in, was to create a club atmosphere. and i have to ask, if you were still in charge at the fa, what kind of a manager would you be looking for to replace him? well, first of all, you've got to make the decision — do you want an english manager? which would be preferable, but there are not that many english managers now in the premier league, so it's quite difficult. i think you'd get the specialists in this field to draw you up a shortlist and see how many want thejob, because, i mean, it's very different from running a club team. it's very different from, you know, being with your players week in, week out. i mean, you're with them for relatively short periods of time. and who would be on your...? and that's why he was so successful, really, because he made them feel like they were part of something.
10:39 pm
the king and queen are continuing their tour of the channel islands with a visit to guernsey. 0ur senior royal correspondent daniela relph reports. the royal arrival meant an extra bank holiday for guernsey and thousands came out to see the first visit from a reigning monarch in almost 20 years. there was a special outdoor sitting of the guernsey parliament. the king's speech, a nod to the island's past. this area holds special meaning for many reasons, as it is very close to where the liberating troops were so eagerly welcomed by the populace in 1945, as they freed the islands from wartime occupation. surfing off guernsey during the 19705, as prince of wales, the king has been to the island several times before. but today, as sovereign, there was a hint of holiday mood, a chance to get a taste of guernsey.
10:40 pm
this visit has been short but important. the message is, the king is back in business, with plans now for a busy autumn schedule. royal honours don'tjust get bestowed on human beings. meet tamsin, an eight—year—old golden guernsey goat. today, her rare breed got special recognition. they are now royal golden guernseys. daniela relph, bbc news, st peter port. 20 years ago, the mabu forest in mozambique was a secret to all but the locals. that was until satellite images revealed it to a british explorer and ecologist, who spotted a mysterious dark green patch of land. a subsequent expedition found the forest and identified it as the largest single block of rainforest in southern africa. 0ur environment correspondent jonah fisher was given exclusive access to film there.
10:41 pm
a forest on top of a mountain, almost entirely untouched by humans. welcome to eden. welcome to mabu forest. this is about as good as it gets. we joined professor bayliss and a team of scientists as they head to the centre of mabu forest. three hours now, and this is absolutely brutal — going through streams, climbing over boulders. and...it looks like we're probably not going to get to the camp until after dark. and that's just the first step towards getting into the middle of this forest. one of the reasons why mabu is so special is because it's effectively a land island, a high altitude forest surrounded by the lowlands of mozambique. for the last 20 years, professorjulian bayliss has been trying to get mabu protected, by proving just how
10:42 pm
exceptional it is. the poppy is named after my daughter. so, this one is named after my daughter. several dozen new species have been found so far. among the discoveries, new species of chameleon, snake and bat. in the stream just outside our tents, erica has caught a freshwater catfish. i think that it's something new for science and i hope that we have a new species for this area. it's very exciting! amazing, amazing! the dung beetle expert is certainly unique. he thinks he's found more than 15 new species on mabu. he puts it down to the quality of his bait. basically, i'm using my faeces
10:43 pm
as a bait to attract _ dung beetles in the forest. so all over this part of the forest, there are probably dung beetles smelling your poo, thinking, "it's lunch—time!" that's correct! the scientists' hard work does appear to be paying off. they mozambique authorities have told us they've now decided to protect mabu. we've now arrived at the end goal. this is a conservation success story. kept hidden for so long, thanks to science, mabu's secrets should live on. jonah fisher, bbc news, in northern mozambique. a man who uses a computer to speak has finally met the voice donor who helped him have the same accent as his family and friends. daniel challis, who has cerebral palsy, appealed for a volunteer from walsall — and eli lane offered to help.
10:44 pm
but because eli was based in new york at the time, the pair had never met in person, until now. meganjones has the story. i can't wait. i am so excited. it will be strange hearing eli, because it is now my voice. but it will be awesome. in 2022, i helped dan launch his appeal on his local west midlands bbc radio station. this is eli lane. mr and mrs dursley of number 4, i privet drive, were proud to say. that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. _ how did that one make you feel? happy. he wanted to find a new voice for his communication device which sounded a bit more like his family and less robotic. eli lane, whose voice was chosen, has been thousands of miles away at drama school in new york, but he wanted to make this special journey. i don't think anyjourneyl
10:45 pm
would have been too far. i'm really excited to meet him. i think it will be great. i don't know how i'll react. hello, mate. how are you doing? eli, i can never thank you enough for giving me a voice. i promise to use it for good and always make my voice heard. so how was that for you? it was brilliant. it was so fun and i exciting to see dan. and, yeah, it was great. and i wasjust so, so thrilled. what was it like hearing your voice but dan speaking it? really, like, odd but brilliant! it might take some getting used to. dan's mum sarah has now joined the excitement, and eli has come here today with his mum claire and dad stuart. so we want both families to meet, so let's bring them in. hiya.
10:46 pm
