hello. this is bbc news with julian worricker. the headlines at 6.30pm: theresa may has been meeting tory backbenchers, some of whom have voiced anger at the election, which resulted in a hung parliament. mrs may is reported to have told them: "i got us into this mess and i'll get us out of it." the first secretary of state, damian green, confirms there could be a delay to the queen's speech, but denies that speculation about the date is evidence that the government is in chaos. we want to produce a substantial queen's speech. there's a huge amount of work to get on with, notjust the brexit negotiations which start next week but many other challenges that face us. the prime minister is still seeking a deal to support her minority government, the democratic unionists say they're still talking. we've had a positive engagement with the conservative party. those discussions continue and i am looking to forward going to london to meet with my parliamentary team.

the brexit secretary, david davis, says brexit talks will begin next week, despite the uncertainty of recent days, as he warns the uk will walk away from a bad deal. what happens if we don't get a deal? our argument is, under those circumstances you've got to be willing to walk away, right? you've got to plan for that even if you don't intend it. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first, a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news... before 7pm, we'll be speaking to a conservative backbencher about theresa may's meeting with the 1922 committee and just after 8pm we'll be hearing from charles walker — vice chairman of the committee. and in 100 days plus, we'll be looking ahead to donald trump's attorney general, jeff sessions testimony to a senate committee about his interactions with russian officials

during the election campaign. and we'll be discussing what next in the brexit process with the labour mp hilary benn, who was up until the general election, chair of the exiting the eu select committee. that's all ahead on bbc news. sport in a moment but let's get more on the fallout of the general election. at a meeting with her backbenchers this evening, theresa may has apologised for the tories‘ performance in the general election, saying: "i got us into this mess and i'll get us out of it". our chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster. what more is emerging? i've just come down the corridor where it was held, theresa may was enough for an hour and held, theresa may was enough for an hourand a held, theresa may was enough for an hour and a half, held, theresa may was enough for an hourand a half, it held, theresa may was enough for an hour and a half, it was a long meeting but they had a lot to talk about. she went in, made a speech and very much took responsibility for the election campaign. for what went wrong. one senior conservative

backbencher, when he came out of the meeting, said she had been contrite and genuine, but she was not on her knees. another said she was humble, and took it on the chin. they said she made a magnificent speech. i'm told there was no one who really had agoat told there was no one who really had a go at her, i think because she was very much taking responsibility for the whole thing. they covered a wide range of issues by the sounds of it. afterwards another former minister said to me that there was some anxiety about a deal with the dup, because of their socially conservative views, theresa may a p pa re ntly conservative views, theresa may apparently reassured tories mps that there was no way she was going to water down any equality laws. another issue they talked about was how they should generate more aspirational policies, how they should have had something to say, for example to public sector workers. they felt there was not enough about the economy or the nhs or education. really the messaging was completely wrong. she has clearly decided to take responsibility for all of that, she also said i will serve you as long

as you want me to. i think she does realise that her political destiny is not in her own hands, having said that, speaking to several mps coming out of better night, there is not the appetite at the moment to get rid of her, to have the chaos if you like, ofa rid of her, to have the chaos if you like, of a leadership contest. it does not mean that will not happen, but for now they seemed pretty happy to get behind and people said to me that the whole room was very supportive her. what does that say to you about the way the relationship might work in the coming weeks and months between theresa may and her cabinet, on the one hand, and those sitting behind one hand, and those sitting behind on the other, who of course she now depends on? to in power. we heard in the weekend, people like sir michael fallon saying he had been in to tell that things have to change. she has got rid of too close advisers, they we re got rid of too close advisers, they were accused of not consulting, not speaking to others. there was talk in the room to write about that disastrous social care policy,

disastrous social care policy, disastrous in the sense that it had not been talked about. it had not been consulted, tory mps did not know it was coming and then they we re know it was coming and then they were expected to go and spend it on the doorsteps. that's will not happen again, theresa may says, i think we will have a lot more of the cabinet being involved in what is going on. the liaison with backbenchers, there was a huge round of applause and cheering for gavin ba rwell. of applause and cheering for gavin barwell. he is a former conservative mp who lost his seat in croydon on thursday, he has been brought in as her chief of staff, he is a very popular figure her chief of staff, he is a very popularfigure among her chief of staff, he is a very popular figure among the tories, and they really hope that he will make sure there is a much better connection between the parliamentary party and downing street. thank you, vicky. now it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh woozencroft. coming up this evening... after winning the under 20s world cup do young footballers in england deserve to be given more chances to play? there's a tight match

between pakistan and sri lanka in cricket‘s champions trophy — find out who snatched the last spot in the semi—finals. and we have the latest on the british and irish lions as they prepare for their fourth match on the tour of new zealand. good evening — lots in store this evening but we start with english football's first world cup winners since 1966. yesterday england won the under 20s tournament with a 1—0 win over venezuela, to underline their quality on the biggest stage. if you missed it, here's a recap of how the final in south korea went. commentator: lewis has a chance, and

another one, and he has taken the second one! brilliant work! it's a brilliant effort. the referee does give a penalty for venezuela. it is kept out by woodman! england have won the under 20 world cup. the winning england team combined only played what amounts to around 12 games in the premier league last season... but they do have lots to offer... freddie woodman racked up the most first team minutes of any player in the squad last season — but they all came on loan at scottish premiership side kilmarnock. bournemouth‘s lewis cook

appeared most in the premier last season — he captained the side to triumph. ademola lookman was an 11 million pound signing for everton when he moved from charlton back injanuary — he's played eight games since going to the merseysiders. dominic solanke willjoin liverpool this summer after playing all of his youth football at chelsea — he was the tournament's best player... he's played once for chelsea's first team but did spend a season on loan in holland with vitesse arnhem. and dominic calvert—lewin has impressed in his 12 senior appearances for everton this season and as you saw he scored the decisive goal in the final. interestingly though, seven of the players who featured in the final did not play a single minute of premier league football last season. david unsworth is everton‘s under 23s coach — four of yesterday's 11 play for the club.

the majority of them have been in this club since they were about ten or 11 and they have come up the ranks together. so they are a really tight—knit group. they are very, very talented, but they are humble as well. they are desperate to be a part of what's going on at this football club. it is important that our young players represent their countries and experience different challenges away from the club as well. we're notjust trying to produce top footballers on the pitch, off the pitch as well, it's important that they buy into everything that we do here. all these players are humble players. they're great lads. and obviously with bright futures. what they have given themselves a great platform to be successful. no other team, no other england team has ever done what they have done and achieved so they've given themselves the exposure to get opportunities in the first team and then all our lads who have been involved have already played in our first team

and when they have had that opportunity, you know and when they get more opportunities, they've got to take them. you've got this let them fly and you've got to see whether they're good enough and any top manager now in the premier league has to be very brave when you're talking about pitching in a young player. knowing when the time is right. so, what we need to do is keep these boys in the system as long as we can because it's getting more difficult every year for them to come through. england manager gareth southgate says his under—pressure goalkeeper joe hart won't play in tomorrow's friendly against france. hart was criticised for his performance in the draw against scotland at the weekend but southgate says he was always planning to try out the other goalkeepers in his squad against the french. it was never my intention to play him during this game. tom heaton. the game, and jack butland will play the second half. for different

reasons, tom has had an outstanding season. we have two maintain the squad environment that people feel involved in, that goalkeeping situation, you need to give players opportunities, gametime. if you look at their team and the depth of the french team, they are not short for players in any position. they are definitely one of the best teams in the world, and thatis the best teams in the world, and that is exciting to go and play against. we want to play against the best teams, as the manager said, even funny games. it is a friendly but it's against the great french team and one that we are looking forward to the challenge. —— even a friendly games. i'm definitely looking forward to and i'm sure the re st of looking forward to and i'm sure the rest of the boys are as well. england striker harry kane will keep the captain's armband for tomorrow night's friendly against france. kane was made skipper for the world cup qualifier against scotland on saturday, scoring a stoppage—time equaliser in their 2—2 draw. domestically, the former leeds and swansea manager garry monk says he's targeting an immediate return

to the premier league with his new club middlesbrough. monk hasjoined boro after leaving leeds united following the break—down of talks with the club's new owner. middlesbrough were relegated after a disappointing season in the premier league but monk thinks they can bounce back. i signed three years, and i would like to make it the first attempt, but you know as well as me, with the experience of the sleek, how difficult it is to do that. you saw last season that the three teams that came down, only one managed to make it back. the season gone by, it's difficult for the teams that come now to make it back. that shows how competitive and difficult this leaguers. one thing, this club is it's ready, and it will be determined in the ambition from all of us, that will be to try and bounce back at the first time. a winding—up order petition against leyton orient has been dismissed. the club's lawyer told the judge that all debts had been paid, so orient survive —

although they'll start next season in the national league, after finishing bottom of league two. fans are still worried for the future, saying they want owner francesco becchetti out. emma jones has more. a second trip to the high court for leyton orient and their fans are just a few months. in march, their owner francesco bocelli had asked for more time to pay the creditors who backed a winding—up petition. today thejudge who backed a winding—up petition. today the judge was told those debts had been paid. bittersweet news for the o ‘s supporters who know their clu b the o ‘s supporters who know their club has been safe for now, but is still in a sorry state under their current owner. a years, it's come to guess. it's that bad that we have just had to relegations in the last few years. that's not the worst case scenario, to relegations, it's not a case of on the pitch that matters now, we just want a football club to

support. we still have a club so we re support. we still have a club so were grateful for that. we want a new owner to comment, because in three years, francesco has destroyed the club. not the heart, but the clu b the club. not the heart, but the club at the moment. we fight another day. orient fans now hope that the cathy ta kes day. orient fans now hope that the cathy takes this opportunity to sell the club, and there is an interested buyer. we believe there is one party thatis buyer. we believe there is one party that is interested, but mr francesco seems to be difficult to get rid of. we wa nt seems to be difficult to get rid of. we want to sell this club quickly and urgently, then all you can finish well next season. with more people owed money, there could be more trips to the high court. there are still £700,000 worth of creditors outstanding, that remain on that list, to be paid. the club has nine junior professionals, no senior professionals, currently no access to a training ground, it has fio access to a training ground, it has no shirts or training equipment. and preseason starts next week. in what

remain uncertain times, these fans simply say they want their club back. emma jones, bbc news. now to cricket, where there was a battle in cardiff today as sri lanka and pakistan fought it out for a place in the semi—finals. england, bangladesh and india are already through but who willjoin them...? after a three wicket win in the last few minutes, pakistan will be joining them. in cardiff, they are used matches to go down to the wire. this was effectively knockout cricket in south wales, a subcontinental cider. while pakistan brought the colour, it seems sri lanka had the craft. their innings started briskly but trouble was coming. pakistan's bowlers bursting into life. swing deliveries and swooping catchers saw them skittled through the middle order. sri lanka posted just 236, a

generous target. pakistan started
