6:31 pm
evening. the police have released names and pictures. yes, while the six o'clock news was on air we were ina six o'clock news was on air we were in a briefing with mark rowley, the assista nt in a briefing with mark rowley, the assistant commissioner here, the man in charge of counterterrorism throughout the uk and during the briefing mark rowley gave us two pictures, one of which was khuram butt, the 27—year—old from pakistan, who lived in barking, who is believed to have been one of the two men who carried out the attack on saturday night and rachid redouane, a 30—year—old believed to be either from morocco or libya, who also lived in the barking area recently but spent five years in ireland at one point and had been married until recently to a 38—year—old woman. police are asking anyone who recognises their pictures, who knows anything about them, who knows what their recent movements have been, to come forward and help police with this investigation into how those seven people were killed on saturday night by being mowed down by a van and being stabbed with knives. mark
6:32 pm
rowley did say to us that at one point khuram butt had been investigated by police back in 2015. he had been part of an investigation then but there had been no evidence during that investigation to suggest he was planning this attack. mark rowley said looking back on the decisions that were made at the time when khuram butt was being investigated in 2015, he didn't think that any wrong decisions had been made, and so clearly that was a sufficiently separate investigation to this one to feel at this point that they didn't miss anything at that they didn't miss anything at that stage. he said there is a massive amount of investigation going on the still of these two men and the third man, their accomplice, police have not yet named because of international inquiries they are making, investigations involving their phones and digital media, what was found on their computers. mark rowley told us it was too early to
6:33 pm
say whether these men were part of some wider network. at the moment they concede these three men have worked together but they haven't spent enough time studying those phones and computers to work out if they are part of some wider network. the investigation continues apace. police have raided more addresses in east london today. they have. two more addresses in the early hours of this morning but interestingly no more arrests. in fact the number of people arrested still remains at 12, that's seven women and five men and of those 11 they were all arrested at one address. of the people arrested one woman and one man have 110w arrested one woman and one man have now been released. so we have ten people still in custody. if i'm frank with you i'm not sure they will all remain in custody. it looks to me as if the majority of those people arrested were arrested because they knew these men. in fa ct, because they knew these men. in fact, in particular they knew khuram butt, and so we will see if that
6:34 pm
really leads to anyone being held for any length of time, or being charged. masip forensic investigation still going on at the crime scene around london bridge, borough high street and borough market. counterterrorism investigations well—known for the detail with which they are carried out, every single fragment, drop of blood and photographed that could be taken, every bit of cctv that could be pored over the and if there is a trial or any clues in this attack as to how to prevent any further attacks. daniel sandford lies at new scotla nd attacks. daniel sandford lies at new scotland yard, thank you. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm katherine downes. a true professional and a great man — newcastle united pays tribute former midfielder cheick tiote, who's collapsed and died in training in china. he wasjust 30.

6:38 pm
rising star karen khachanov as he looked to reach yet another grand slam quarterfinal. and it was fairly straightforward for the world number one as he came through in straight sets — nick parrott reports. like an army andy murray appears to march on his stomach, bringing enough food to fuel a lengthy encounter against karen khachanov, but it looked like there would be plenty left over as he quickly got down to business. his 21—year—old opponent is being tipped for a big future. at six tall you would expect his game to be all about power, but it was his deft touch that challenged murray. however, one of the reasons there is more than 50 places in the rankings between them was clear to see. while murray's efforts, carers were few and far between karen khachanov‘s inexperience showed as he helped the world number one towards the first set. the britain isn't back to his best yet but when he stumbled he soon recovered. best yet but when he stumbled he soon recovered. 0n best yet but when he stumbled he soon recovered. 0n the occasions he was broken in the second and third sets he hit back immediately. a better opponent might have
6:39 pm
capitalised on the wobble but murray's hungerfor capitalised on the wobble but murray's hunger for his 29th grand slam quarterfinal proved too strong. staright after his win, murray paid tribute to the victims of the weekend's terror attacks in london. this is what he said. the terrible tragedy in london. we had also in manchester only six or seven days ago, paris has also had some problems in the last year or two. iam some problems in the last year or two. i am sure everyone would join me in sharing our thoughts and prayers with everyone who has been affected by this. applause it is obviously something that has affected large parts of europe and all over the world. and obviously we
6:40 pm
wa nt all over the world. and obviously we want things to keep getting better andi want things to keep getting better and i appreciate everyone still coming out to support the tennis, creating a fantastic atmosphere and i'm grateful i can come out and perform in front of you. some considered words from the world number one. so murray through to another quarterfinal and this man will be his next opponent — eighth seed kei nishikori ofjapan. nishikori beat spain's fernando verdasco, despite losing the first set 6—0. he now faces murray in a repeat of their quarterfinal at last year's us open which nishikori won. former champion stan wawrinka is also in murray's half of the draw and he advanced to the last eight with a straight—sets defeat of gael monfils. seventh seed marin cilic is next for wawrinka. fifth seed and one of the favourites for the title elena svitolina came back from 5—2 in the deciding set before beating croatian qualifier petra martic 7—5 in one of the women's singles matches of the tournament so far. svitolina plays simona halep the third seed in the last eight. this is how simona halep went
6:41 pm
through. she is playing svitolina next. halep beat carla suarez navarro of spain in straight sets losing just two games in the process. she is the highest seed left in the women's singles, so favourite to take the title at roland garros this year. on to rugby union. british and irish lions warren gatland has named an entirely different starting 15 for the second match of the tour of new zealand. the lions face the blues in auckland on wednesday. wales hooker ken 0wens will captain the side. fellow welshmen rhys webb and dan biggar are the half—backs, with the england pair of maro itoje and courtney lawes in the second row. there's also a start for james haskell at flanker. there are eight all blacks in the blues side. we are going to have to create momentum gained on game and improve deep into the test match. 15 new
6:42 pm
quys deep into the test match. 15 new guys starting with an opportunity to put our hands up to obviously raise the standards week on week and game on game so the standards week on week and game on game so that is what we will need to do to beat the all blacks in three orfour to do to beat the all blacks in three or four weeks' time. we've got to make sure we match fire with fire in terms of our approach to the game and i think the fact that we would have been here for a week on wednesday, settled into new zealand, understanding what's coming and how difficult the task will be, i think will put us and prepare us a lot better for wednesday. the lions are not the only side out on tour because gregor townsend ta kes on tour because gregor townsend takes charge of scotland's rugby union side for the first time on saturday. they face familiar six nations foes italy in the unfamiliar surrounds of singapore. both nations are in south east asia as they prepare for summer tours of australia and fiji. it'll be the first major international rugby union match in the region and townsend is confident his squad can impress. we are fortunate with the group of
6:43 pm
players that we have. they work hard, they have got a lot of confidence over the last couple of seasons and they are desperate to build on that. looking ahead to this tour, playing in the singapore against italy is a great test for us. against italy is a great test for us. going along to sydney, and fiji, they are two cracking fixtures. cricket continued at the 0val today as the champions trophy match between australia and bangladesh went ahead despite saturday's terror attack in london. australia bowled out bangladesh for 182 and are now hoping that the rain stays away from south london as ben croucher reports. defeat for either australia or bangladesh would leave them on the brink of champions trophy extinction, if you believe the forecast neither of them will get the opportunity to win today. with a shortened game looming australia had to get a move on and promptly at a sluggish bangladesh three down but tamim iqbal fresh from sluggish bangladesh three down but tamim iqbalfresh from a century against england was bludgeoning his
6:44 pm
way towards three figures once more delivering a shower of sixes towards the spectators who had to take other. but down came the drizzle and with it bangladesh's innings which began to fizzle out. tamim iqbal out for 95, and a further three wickets fell for just a solitary wrong—headed, 182 all out. australia had done what was expected, but the weather then did the same. it didn't last too long as australia could at least get their chase under way but with more rain expected they may not get a chance to finish it. ben croucher, bbc news. that rain really causing problems. they have just come off again. australia 83—1 in the 16th over, 20 overs will count as a completed match with australia well ahead of the run rate at the moment. it looks like the weather will thwart the rest of the match so we will keep you updated through the rest of the programme and into the evening. so rain at the 0val and the forecast isn't great for cardiff tomorrow where england play new zealand. joe wilson has been wading through the puddles and looks ahead to a game which if england win,
6:45 pm
will put them into the semi—finals. here we are at a cricket ground in cardiff but no cricketers, just some groundsman anson covers, gloomy, never mind, press on, opportunity for some indoor exercise for england's cricketers today in a very competitive format going on, ben stokes taking full part in it, he's been pain—free for several days, we are told. stokes was one of several england players who are staying in london over the weekend. with the attack there and threat of terrorism of this tournament has been a co nsta nt of this tournament has been a constant topic of conversation, we know that. eoin morgan, the captain, you may remember, back end of last year, decided he wouldn't go to bangladesh for security reasons. making those judgment is part and parcel of a modern cricketer‘s life, but as with this champions trophy morgan is sure it should go on. but as with this champions trophy morgan is sure it should go onlj feel it's huge. 0bviously terrorist activity happens for one reason and
6:46 pm
it's to obstruct people's everyday way of life, and for us to go about this tournament as if everything is 0k, although it is not quite, i think is very important. new zealand may think they have been harshly treated by the weather already in this tournament. match abandoned against australia when new zealand we re against australia when new zealand were ina against australia when new zealand were in a strong position, two years ago they walloped england in the world cup, but england are a different proposition in 50 over cricket right now, as new zealand will acknowledge. it is very much a new look england side over the last couple of years and it has worked very well for them. couple of years and it has worked very well forthem. similar couple of years and it has worked very well for them. similar band of —— brand of batting to what we have developed over the last couple of yea rs developed over the last couple of years and it will be an exciting game with everyone looking forward to it. england have looked up to new zealand's cricketers in the last few yea rs. zealand's cricketers in the last few years. look up in cardiff and you will see some sunshine, if you are optimistic. 0urfingers remain
6:47 pm
crossed! 0nto football now. england's women play in the european championships in the netherlands this summer — with high expectations of what they can achieve. jo currie has spent the day with manager mark sampson and his squad. it's been two months since mark sampson named his squad for the summer's neurosis. since then all of his players have come through the season without picking up a major injury, chelsea won the spring series title but were pushed all the way. so now having seen how his players performed in the season does mark sampson have any regrets about naming his squad so early? absolutely not, we've been really pleased with the way the players have performed, the level of ability we have seen them display has been really pleasing for me as a manager and we have a good balance with how many games the players have played but also they have got some good rest time as well. we always want this group to turn up tough, as in playing regular football but also reasonably fresh and we have got that balance just about right. huge respect to the managers of the club,
6:48 pm
they have done fantastically well, should be an exciting competition which went down as always to the last day. they will arrive tough, confident and ready to go. this weekend the lionesses are away in switzerland in the first of their two pretournament friendlies and then take on denmark on the 1st of july and after that it is on to holland where we will aim to become the first england football team to win the european championships. joey carbery, bbc news, wembley. now it's not every day that an england football team reaches the semifinal of the world cup but that's exactly what their under—20s side have done today — their 1—0 win over mexico in south korea means they are through to the last four — as vicki—jane edwards reports. it's been 2a years since the young lions have progressed to the semifinals of the world cup but this side have the potential to end that barren run. however, it was mexico that dominated the first half with only the fingertips of freddie woodman keeping england on level terms. the second half was a very
6:49 pm
different story, though. new liverpool signing dominic solanke took just two liverpool signing dominic solanke tookjust two minutes to give england the lead. this was the cue for a whole host of chances, first a spot of penalty area pinball. then tottenham'sjosh spot of penalty area pinball. then tottenham's josh 0nomah was just inches away from doubling the lead. it wasn't to be josh 0nomah‘s inches away from doubling the lead. it wasn't to bejosh 0nomah‘s night. this seemingly innocuous challenge brought a second yellow and left england hanging on as mexico came close more than once to force extra time. but the young lions held on and made it through to play
