tributes have been paid to sven—goran eriksson who's died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. he was england's first foreign manager, and was seen at his peak as one of football's finest coaches. david beckham said he would be "forever grateful" for his decision to appoint him as england captain. prince william, who is head of the football association, called him a �*true gentleman of the game.�* andy swiss looks back at his life. he brought a swedish cool to english football. but behind that studious surface, sven—goran eriksson�*s reign was anything but dull. he had made his managerial name first with gothenburg, and then with the italian side lazio, but when england appointed him as kevin keegan�*s

replacement in 2000, it sparked a storm of controversy. england had never had a foreign coach before. but if the traditionalists were upset, eriksson was unflappable. if it's the most difficult job, i'm very happy. then it will be my biggest challenge so far in my life. and he soon silenced his critics on a famous night in munich. john motson: oh, this is getting better and better and better! - a 5—1 thrashing of germany, and suddenly eriksson seemed england's saviour. they qualified for the 2002 world cup in dramatic fashion. beckham! yes! he's done it! the feelgood factor was back, and eriksson was the architect. but qualification was followed by frustration. england were beaten in the quarterfinals by brazil, and his passive management style was under scrutiny. come the 2004 euros, it was the same story. 0h, he's put it miles over the bar. as england again went out

in the quarterfinals, the questions began to mount. by now, eriksson�*s private life was attracting headlines. his relationships with the italian lawyer nancy dallaglio, with the tv star ulrika johnsson, and with faria alam, an fa employee, which prompted turmoil at the organisation. and after he told an undercover reporter he'd consider quitting after the 2006 world cup, the fa announced he'd leave following the tournament. england went into it with high hopes, their team dubbed the "golden generation". but yet again, they crashed out in the quarterfinals, yet again, on penalties. eriksson later said it was the biggest disappointment of his career. i don't think england was ready to win a world cup in 2002. 2006? yes. england should have done better. and if you take all the defeats i had in my life, that was the hardest one.

after leaving the england job, eriksson spent a year at manchester city, followed by a string of other clubs. he was never short of offers. and after being diagnosed with cancer, the affection for him was plain to see. in march, the lifelong liverpool fan managed a legends team at anfield. one of his assistants that day remembers how poignant it was. what you see is what you get. the big successful manager. he got really emotional, you know, at the end of the game, you could see. you know, when we done the lap of honour, i was lucky enough to be by him, and again, he kept on saying, "this is so special." it was the fondest of farewells to a gracious man and to one of england's most ground—breaking managers. sven goran eriksson who's died at the age of 76. more than 80 residents have been evacuated from a block

of flats in east london — which was engulfed by fire. two people were taken to hospital. it is not yet known what caused the blaze, but the fire brigade said the building had a number of fire safety issues. according to a planning document, it was in the process of having cladding removed. helena wilkinson reports. this is the block of flats in east london, engulfed by flames at the peak of the devastating fire. more than 100 residents live here. most will have been asleep when it broke out. it must have been terrifying. the london fire brigade was called at 2:44 this morning. a major incident was declared with a huge emergency response. 45 fire engines were sent with 225 firefighters. the first of them were at the scene within five minutes of the call. residents have been describing the terrifying moment of what happened in the block of flats in the early hours of this morning. one woman, who is six months

pregnant, has told us that as they were making their way down the stairs, the smoke became heavier and everyone was coughing. she also said there was no warning and no fire alarm. other residents spoke of the terrifying situation. there was a lot of smoke, we couldn't breathe, and we managed to reach downstairs, and when we went in the hallway, in the hall, there was a firefighter that said, you know, just run across the other side of the building, basically. there was no alarm — we didn't hear any alarm. there is no sprinklers in that building at all. as red cross volunteers sorted clothing for people, a resident who was at work at the time said his 16—year—old son was inside the flat when the fire took hold. he tried to get himself through the window, and that's the fifth floor. so he got himself out through the window. luckily, the scaffolding, the scaffolding was there, so he jumped down on the scaffolding and i guess the fire guys put the ladder up and got him.

the cause of the fire is not yet known. work had been under way to remove noncompliant cladding on the flats, and there were already issues known to authorities. not far from the flats, a rest centre has been set up for residents unable to return to their homes. an extensive search and rescue operation took place following a simultaneous evacuation of the building, and i'm pleased to announce that everyone has been accounted for. this was a very dynamic and challenging incident, and we all know undoubtedly there will be concerns around the fire safety issues present within the building, which will form part of our report. at the scene, firefighters are still trying to contain the smoke billowing out. long ladders have been used to pour water on the top of the building.

locals have been told to keep their windows closed. the investigation into how the fire started will be the next step. that there weren't more injuries seems extraordinary. the devastating fire here has brought back building safety concerns to the spotlight. it is seven years since the grenfell tower fire, in which 72 people died. the public inquiry�*s report into that fire is due to be published next month. helena wilkinson, bbc news, east london. and around 70 firefighters responded to a fire at another tower block in east london this afternoon. the fire service said part of a flat and balcony in blackwall were alight — on the 25th floor of a as—story building. there were no reports of any injuries. the prime minister is expected to warn that his labour government has inherited notjust an economic black hole — but also a societal

black hole from the conservatives. sir keir starmer will make a policy speech in the rose garden at downing street on tuesday — he'll promise, among other things, to do the hard work needed to, as he will put it, root out 14 years of rot under previous administrations. but — he'll also warn that things will get worse before they get better. i asked our political correspondent ben wright what we were likely to hear — and why sir keir starmer would be saying it. we've got a good idea what the prime minister is going to say. as you mentioned, it will be in the garden of downing street, but the message will not be rosy. i think he will give a very bleak assessment of the state of the country that the new labour government has inherited. he'll talk about the rot, rubble and ruin that he says is all around for people to see and that it's going to take a very long time for this government to get on top of it. the setting, i think, of this speech is not accidental.

he wants to do this in the downing street garden because of course, that was where some of the lockdown breaking parties that happened during covid took place. it's where borisjohnson�*s former chief of staff, dominic cummings, had a press conference after he went off to barnard castle in the middle of lockdown. i think the prime minister deliberately wants to evoke that era and remind voters of it, as he promises to set out a government that will have fundamentally different priorities will be, in his words, a government of service. but the message will be, this is going to take a long time to to fix things. and it's a continuation of the theme that we heard from the chancellor, rachel reeves, when he when she made that statement in the house of commons just before the parliamentary recess, warning again that things are far worse than labour ministers could possibly have imagined, as she sketched out some of the cuts that the government are going to have to make to repair the public finances. she's warned, too, about the tax rises to come. so i think the prime minister is rolling the pitch ahead of the october budget. i was going to ask you what you make

of the timing of this. we're still in the summer holidays. certainly schools are still off. many people are still away. they're only just weeks still into their government. so why now? well, i think because before parliament comes back, he has the, you know, he has the agenda really to himself. and he has decided just to carve out the space to make the argument. and as i said, sort of set expectations ahead of what is going to be a very challenging autumn for the government. you know, the government is already facing some flak for its decision to end the universal element of the winter fuel allowance. you know, many, many pensioners across england and wales are going to lose their entitlement because rachel reeves needs to find the money, in part to pay for the pay settlements across the public sector the government announced just before recess. there is what the government claims is a £22 billion black hole to fill, and it needs to find the cash. but some labour mps over the course

of the summer have already said that they'd like the rachel reeves to think again. 0pposition parties are opposed to that. this is just one front of some of the challenges that the government is facing, which is why i think sir keir starmerfeels it is important at this stage to really just sort of set the story for what the government is trying to achieve, and people within number 10 know that they are aiming, you know, for a to commence a project and to complete a project that is going to take a very long time. and they know too, that voters�* trust in politicians is very low, that there is great disillusionment among the public in terms of what they feel politics can deliver and i think the feeling in downing street is that by being this candid and frank about how difficult it�*s going to be, how unpopular some of the choices are going to have to be, then they may have a bigger chance of bringing voters with them. russia has launched a major airattack on ukraine, firing around 200 missiles and drones at energy and water facilities, and killing at least 6 people. president zelensky again called on western allies to change their rules and let ukraine use their weapons to strike

deeper inside russia. nick beake has sent this report from ukraine. the first strikes came in the early hours, crudely curtailing a long weekend of ukrainian independence day celebrations. this missile just missed a power station near the capital, kyiv. the ukrainian defenders shot down what they could. "i got it", this soldier exclaims. but one in five missiles did get through. russia said it successfully targeted energy infrastructure. 0lha�*s brother was killed on the zaporizhzhia land he had farmed all his life. translation: i was very scared because of the explosion. - i was shaking. and then i saw him, and i couldn�*t recognise him. near the city of dnipro lives and livelihoods extinguished. president zelensky argued that a collective effort had protected israel from aerial attack and called

on western allies to do more to shoot down russian missiles and drones. translation: it was one - of the biggest combined strikes. more than 100 missiles of various types, and about 100 iranian drones. in various ukrainian regions we could have done more in order to protect life if aircraft of our european neighbours had worked together with our f—16 jets and air defence. the missiles also hit this region, sumy, which borders russia. it was from here the ukrainians launched their surprise incursion three weeks ago, going in and then seizing russian territory. that undoubtedly gave ukraine a big morale boost, but today has been a jolting, nationwide reminder of what russia is capable of. and the kremlin suggested more punishment for the recent incursion into russian soil was still to come. translation: such hostile

actions cannot remain - without an appropriate response. there will definitely be a response. but ukraine, under great pressure on the home front, is on the attack, sending its own drones into russia, hitting the city of saratov and urging the west to allow it to strike further and harder. nick beake, bbc news, in the sumy region, ukraine. the united nations says it�*s had to halt its humanitarian operations in gaza. it comes after the israeli military issued a new evacuation order of the area where aid workers were operating from. the un is the primary aid distributer inside the territory, which has been devastated by 10 months of war between israel and hamas. 0ur correspondentjon donnison has this update from jerusalem. the un is the primary supplier and distributor of much needed humanitarian aid in gaza tonight.

tonight, it had said it had had to suspend its operations because of safety concerns after an evacuation order in deir al balah, in the centre of the gaza strip from the israeli military. and that is where the un has its main command centre. it said its staff had had to evacuate quickly and that they�*d left their equipment behind. now, the un official stressed that un agencies would not be leaving gaza, but they were now looking for somewhere safe to operate and said those safe areas were constantly being squeezed. now israel, for its part, says it issues these evacuation orders to try to protect civilian lives in gaza. separately this evening, a hamas official has poured scorn on suggestions from the white house that progress is being made in ceasefire talks that are ongoing in cairo. he said, hamas was still refusing to take part, saying that israel had changed the terms of something that hamas agreed to back injuly.

so despite intense pressure from the united states in particular, no sign of any progress in those talks. health workers in the democratic republic of congo have told the bbc more than 70% of people being treated for mpox at their clinics are children under the age of 10. the bbc has been given exclusive access to two treatment centres in the eastern part of the country — the epicentre of the latest mpox outbreak. 0ur africa correspondent simijolaoso has this report, filmed inside the drc for the bbc by a local camera operator. a warning, viewers may find some images distressing from the start. toddler cries weary and in pain. two—year—old encima caught mpox from one of her five siblings, who have all had the disease. translation: this is - the first time i've seen it. when my child got sick, other parents told me it might be measles, but we started treating measles and failed.

this hospital in kavumu is in south kivu, the epicentre of this new mpox crisis. it has had 800 patients sincejune. more than 70% have been children. eight have died — all under the age of five. about 100 miles away, the spring in amani�*s step slowly returns after four days of free treatment at this centre in munigi near goma. like the hospital, three—quarters of patients here have been under the age of ten. health workers told the bbc they�*ve had up to ten new cases a day. the idp camps are overcrowded so you see children in the idp camps, they are always playing together, so they have time together. they don�*t really care about distance, social distance, they don�*t care about that. so they play together, they are always together. and you can also see, like, in the household, they even pass the night on the same bed.

you can find three, four, five children. so that means the transmission is really present on a daily basis. these camps, in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo, are crammed with millions who have been displaced because of an ongoing armed conflict — the perfect place for mpox to run rampant. charity workers are trying to get ahead by teaching people about symptoms, stigma and hygiene. the message resonates, but it does not suppress their fear. translation: if a person dies l in the house, we are not allowed to touch it with our bare hands. we should be provided with protective equipment so we can dispose of it. this disease has brought us a lot of fear. they hope the vaccinations will begin this week, with children first in line but the conflict will pose a challenge.

simijolaoso, bbc news. we�*ll bring you tomorrow�*s newspaper front pages in a moment, but before that — one of the world�*s biggest street parties had its big day today in west london — the notting hill carnival. it�*s a celebration of caribbean culture dating back six decades. 0ur correspondent vincent mcaviney was there. adults day at notting hill carnival is all about showtime, as musicians and performers make their way through the streets of west london to celebrate caribbean culture and heritage. after months of preparations, sewing and bedazzling costumes, this group of family and friends can�*t wait to wow the parade judges. it takes a lot of time and a good team and it takes a lot of patience because you do this for one day. we try to put everything into it to make sure it comes

out the way we wanted. i love being a caribbean woman and this is my heritage - and i scream it loud and proud. celebrating with family and friends, celebrating our culture, being able to be who we are. proud black women. it�*s estimated roughly one million people are enjoying the notting hill carnival today, packing the streets of west london, and they�*ve been enjoying the colourful costumes, caribbean music and spectacular floats. we spoke to some who have travelled from far and wide to enjoy it. i�*m from brazil. i�*m really happy i�*m here. it�*s really, really beautiful and amazing to see that samba is cool here. yeah, it�*s really, really good. i'm from rio, so carnival is very important for me, for my culture. so, it's the first time i'm here in notting hill carnival and i'm enjoying a lot. around 7,000 police officers are patrolling this year�*s event. the met have condemned several violent incidents, which saw three attendees stabbed on sunday, but have praised

the community spirit of the vast majority celebrating. we�*ve come all the way from blackpool up in the north. it�*s really well policed. there�*s plenty of security. it�*s very, very safe. and if you�*re not one for crowds, there are areas that you can go that aren�*t quite as crowded. but if you want to really get the feel for it, you�*ve got to really get stuck in. if you�*re tempted, you�*ve got a year to prepare your costume and routine for the next carnival. vincent mcivanney, bbc london. the met police have issued an update about security at the carnival — saying that 145 arrests were made — bringing the total since sunday to 249. 41 weapons were seized, including two firearms. they say that one person was stabbed during the day — but they did not suffer life threatening injuries. and police have added that one of the arrests was of a man wanted in connection with an attempted murder in hackey injuly — who was detained after being spotted in the crowd. now could 0asis be planning a reunion? the gallagher brothers have been ramping up speculation on social media that an announcement

could be made tomorrow. formed in 1991, the britpop band rose to fame with hits such as wonderwall and don�*t look back in anger. here�*s noor nanji. this cryptic post on x late last night... # you gotta roll with it # you gotta take your time... # ..fuelled the rumours that an 0asis reunion could finally be announced tomorrow. # slip inside the eye of your mind... # gigs in their hometown, manchester, as well as ten nights in london, are rumoured to be on the cards as well as a glastonbury headline slot. # today is gonna be the day # that they�*re gonna throw it back to you... # it�*s exactly 30 years since the gallagher brothers shot to fame as britpop ruled the airwaves. # i don�*t believe that anybody feels the way i do # about you now... #

but they also had a fractious relationship. after a fight in 2009, noel left the band. # backbeat, the word is on the street # that the fire in your heart is out... # so, what�*s the story here? they�*ve already had the glory — seven albums, eight number one singles. why do this now? after the decades of going at each other with cricket bats and fire extinguishers, it's extraordinary that they seem to be getting along better. and maybe money is an incentive here. you know, tickets are expected to be costing more than £100 at heaton park and wembley stadium, should this go ahead. so maybe they're just...they can put aside their differences to fill their coffers. whatever the motivation, fans in manchester are delighted and are not shy of showing it. i�*m not going to sleep tonight. i am so excited. but there�*s still an element of doubt that i�*m like, please don�*t be just another record relaunch or something. i�*m desperate for them to come back together. i've seen them both separately this year as well. incredible, incredible.

both different, different concerts completely, but together, you know... best believe i'll be there. and obviously with noel getting a bit of a divorce, maybe? - he might need the money. he's got to do it- before us old guys are 60 and we can actually still stand up in a field. - # is it my imagination # or have i finally found something worth living for? # is it definite or is it maybe? all will become clear tomorrow. noor nanji, bbc news. we will bring you the latest as there is any kind of announcement. let�*s take a quick look through tomorrow�*s newspaper front pages. starting with the times, which has a photo of the former england football manager, sven goran eriksson, who passed away yesterday. and the lead text story is a claim that police officers have almost entirely given up on pursuing shoplifters, despite record numbers of the thefts. the daily telegraph also has a picture of sven. it also looks at crime figures — saying that police community resolutions mean that many violent

criminals — including some sex offenders — do not get a criminal record, because they are allowed instead to apologise to their victims. the daily mirror rephrases a sven goran eriksson quote — "don�*t be sorry, smile, it�*s been fantastic." another picture of sven on the front page of the guardian. it also claims there has been what is says is a �*staggering�* rise in anxiety among children — triggered at least in part by living through the pandemic and the lockdowns. more sven on the daily express. it leads on nigel farage warning of shocks to come in the labour budget. the daily mail also looks at the government�*s potential spending plans — saying there may be cuts to military training to fund pay rises. the �*i�* has a headline — safety fears at a large british care provider, which is owned by kuwait and which has been given almost £500 million in public funds. now, let�*s take a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. still very unsettled

across the north and the west of the uk at times. more wet and windy weather to come here, but also some sunshine in the forecast and some late summer warmth, too, especially for southern and eastern areas of england. now through the night, this front has been tracking southwards and eastwards. on tuesday morning it�*s still bringing heavy downpours of rain for northern ireland, western scotland, some of that rain falling on already saturated ground, particularly across dumfries and galloway. so heavy downpours still here, windy up through these irish sea coast, but it�*s breezy wherever you are. a dry start to the day though for england and wales and very mild, particularly across northern ireland. now, on tuesday that front continues to slip further southwards and eastwards, the rain turning lighter and more patchy. behind the front things will dry out and brighten up. there�*ll be some sunny spells and some showers. the front, by the time we get to the afternoon, is draped down from north—west england, wales and south—west england, so cloudy with outbreaks

of rain here but ahead of the front there�*ll be a lot of sunshine and the highest of the temperatures mid 20s perhaps, but also possibly 20 or 21 degrees in parts of aberdeenshire. now, the position of the front could change on tuesday into wednesday, it�*s moving very slowly as it bumps into the area of high pressure almost stalls. it�*s just a narrow band of cloud, really, as we head through wednesday, stretching down from, say, north yorkshire, through wales and into south west england. behind it sunny spells but also some more heavy showers pushing eastwards from parts of western scotland and northern ireland. again, more sunshine across many parts of east anglia, south east england. temperatures here could get to 27 or 28 celsius, perhaps, but wednesday does look as if it�*s going to be the warmest day of the week, because after that front clears on thursday, we draw in more of a westerly wind. so we�*re getting that fresher atlantic air back again, and there will be a drop in temperature, but still a lot of dry weather to come in the forecast.

again, some more showers affecting parts of north—west england, northern ireland and western scotland in particular, pushing eastwards, but further south it is a mostly dry story, but temperatures are lower across the board, generally 16 to 23 celsius, north to south. then a ridge of high pressure may well build in as we head through thursday and friday, keeping things largely dry into the weekend and feeling a touch warmer.

welcome to hardtalk from rome. i�*m stephen sackur. across europe, political parties once regarded as too far right to get a sniff of political power are now winning elections, or getting mighty close. but what happens when they do achieve national office?

well, the best case study in western europe right now is here in italy, where prime minister giorgia meloni�*s far—right coalition has been in power for almost two years. my guest today is nicola procaccini, a meloni confidante who is a member of the european parliament. how is far—right rule changing italy? nicola procaccini, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for your invitation. it�*s great to have you on the programme. now, your party, brothers of italy, led by giorgia meloni, has been in power here in italy for almost two years now. would you say that power and responsibility have moderated the ambitions of your party?
