issues using their cards. visa says it's investigating the cause of the disruption. the "pinball children" who suffer the instability of house and school changes while in care. in a moment it will be time for sportsday, but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. as a new prime minister takes over in spain, we'll be speaking to our correspondent in madrid about the corruption scandal that unseated mariano rajoy. has the cosmetics company lush overstepped the mark with a social media campaign highlighting the so called spy—cops scandal? and later, we'll be taking our nightly look at what's on tomorrow's front pages, with pr consultant and former conservative party communications director giles kenningham, and the political editor of the new statesman george eaton. that's all ahead on bbc news. now on bbc news, it's
6:31 pm
time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm azi farni. it's been a good day for england against pakistan, we'll be live at headingley on day one of the second test. gareth southgate defends raheen sterling over the controversy caused by his gun tattoo and tyson fury says it's been a tough road to his long awaited return to boxing. i was almost at the bottom of no return and i've been brought back andi return and i've been brought back and ijust return and i've been brought back and i just want to show to everyone that if i can do it anyone can do it because i'm no different to anybody else. because i'm no different to anybody else.
6:32 pm
hello and welcome to sportsday. thanks forjoining us. england have had the perfect start in the second test against pakistan, as they look to bounce back from their nine wicket defeat at lord's. stuart broad led the attack, with three wickets for 38 runs, as england the visitors out for 174 at headingly. patrick geary is there for us. it was exactly the start england needed. it was ben stokes was unavailable but they lost the toss so they must have taught what else can go wrong? they picked it up from from that is largely due to start they were given by stuart broad who bowled better than at lortsds, england caught far better than they did too, that was another problem, they dropped five catches in that previous test, a good start from stuart broad, the two wickets set the tone, because all the rest of the england pace
6:33 pm
attack chipped in, chris woakes, james anderson, all helped reduce pakistan to seven down for less than 100. it looked like they were going to be bowled out for less than 00 but khan kept pakistan competitive. 174-4 but khan kept pakistan competitive. 174—4 out in the end. england's turn to bat, a test of this fragile batting order. jennings recalled after being dropped last year, he did well for 29. he looked confident before he got out but he had set that platform and cook and root took them on. it was frustrating for england when cook was out for a6, they finished on 106 for two, despite that late frustrating wicket they will rashed it as a good day. they will hope that momentum carries through. how important is it, after the winter they have had they get a goodwin now? i think it is crucial
6:34 pm
as, this england team, since the start of the ashe last year have lost six of the eight tests they have played and they have been hammered ina have played and they have been hammered in a number, so no big surprise there was criticism of coach, the captain, half of the batting order so it was crucial ir—i think they got back into competition, in this series and backed up root‘s words with actions. he promised there would be a response, there has been but we are early in the test match. i think weather might play a part tomorrow. can england do better this time after that crushing defeat in the first test, england needed a good response. and former england batsman james taylor says today's play england will have been outstand, they needed bounce back sharpish and they needed bounce back sharpish and they have anderson three wicket, broad three wicket and woakes and curran picking up the final wicket,
6:35 pm
getting in on his debut, it is what england needed. pakistan have their partnership at the back end but england have done a good job, they bounced back after lord's, a poor display, they have done really good job. that poor display was largely down to the batsmen, what do they have to do to come back from that collapse? the batsmen low in confidence, they have been low in confidence, they have been low in confidence for over six months which isn't ideal but they are moved general, they have put him at the top, he is? good form, he is in good form in domestic cricket so hopefully he is going to get off to a good start, they need to set that platform, that is where they have struggled over the recent month, then letting the middle order build on that. englands or a record isn't great. they have lost six of the last eight including that big a—0 defeat to australia in the ashes, how much do they need the win now? desperately. it is notjust the
6:36 pm
team, it is joe desperately. it is notjust the team, it isjoe root and captain, trevor bayliss at coach. joe, what would do him the world of good, because he leads from the front, he is inexperienced, he has had a tough year, he needs to get a big 100. he has had a tough year, he needs to get a big 100. the england manager gareth southgate has defended raheem sterling over the controversy caused by his new tattoo. the manchester city midfielder came under fire after posting a picture of himself training with the tattoo of a gun on his leg visible. but southgate says sterling shouldn't be hounded over something which is a personal choice, as david ornstein reports. england's past to the world cup has been smooth. but with the tournament 110w been smooth. but with the tournament now fast approaching, the scrutiny has intensified. this week raheem sterling moved to defend himself after revealing a tattoo of an assault rifle on his right leg. amid criticism from anti—gun
6:37 pm
campaigners sterling say the artwork had a deeper meaning that his father was shot dead when the player was just two—year—old, and he made a promise never to touch a gun in his life. he understands how some people have perceived the tattoo, but in my view a tattoo is like any work of art, it isa a tattoo is like any work of art, it is a very individual meaning, he is not somebody that supports or wants to promote guns. this is a youthful england squad. the household names of the past are gone, so too perhaps the shackles of press conference tournament failures. and it is here at team hotel that they are trying to relax. before taking centre stage at wembley tomorrow, in the first of two warm—up games. then in only two weeks' time, they will be flying the flag in russia. the nation you know, will be behind us no the nation you know, will be behind us no matter what. the group of lads we have got now, it is high profile
6:38 pm
group, you know, talent in the group, you know, talent in the group, and you know, ithink group, you know, talent in the group, and you know, i think we have a good chance of going far this career. the focus is clear. to succeed where so many have fallen short, expectations may be low, but spirits are high, as england attempt to close in on football's greatest prize. we're less than two weeks away from the start of the world cup finals, and as we build up to the tournament here on sportsday we'll be taking an in depth look at some of the issues facing the teams and nations competing in russia. yesterday we heard from the iceland camp, today we go to the other debutants at this year's finals — the central american nation of panama, who are alongside belgium and england in group g. joe lynskey has more. panama's pa nama's reward for panama's reward for reach this world cup is group stage clash with england but the central americans qualification story is perhaps the
6:39 pm
most remarkable. of this summer a tournament. it is a nation of barely four million people thatjoins the world's two great oceans but panama would have to negotiate past surrounding nations with massive resources to make this summer's finals and going into the final round of matches they were just about still in touch with the top three place, that seal a world cup place but they needed two unlikely result, the americans had to loose against trinidad while panama had to beat costa rica but in football you can never rule anything out. think you see all of the things that happen that night, nobody is going to pick up the script. then the goal. how can you describe that? goal! goal! idon't goal. how can you describe that? goal! goal! i don't know what happened, i just lost goal! goal! i don't know what happened, ijust lost it. goal! goal! they did it. beautiful.
6:40 pm
you couldn't write it. famous for a a8 mile stretch of water way, this world cup will be a footballing fairy tale for panama, and a lot of their success is due to an englishman who had been a community officer at millwall. . englishman who had been a community officerat millwall. . i englishman who had been a community officer at millwall. . i was born in panama, left very early, and we went to live in london and after working all three years at millwall, my dad said have you thought about coming to panama, there is is a lot of potential here, they are very raw, i don't think there is any shame to say it is a third world country compared to a developed country, football has progressed, you know, the players are getting fed which never happened after each training session, we have bib, we have balls, we have a training ground, you know, you have that. so it has come a long way. obviously with england losing to iceland, do you think it would be a bigger upset if panama were to beat
6:41 pm
england? 0h bigger upset if panama were to beat england? oh yes. definitely. iceland had one or two, three players who played in the premier league, they have players playing abroad at a good level. this would be the biggest shock. no big team, like belgium or england wants to play in a world cup teams like panama, if england do not get a good result against panama it will be a major shock, that is putting more pressure on mr southgate. we can get odds at eigg as 20—1 for panama to win that match and 2,000—1 for them to win the world cup. they are such rank outsiders and this man torres has become their poster boy after scores offing that goal but at 32 he is hardly a rising star and he
6:42 pm
plays club football in the mls. we can see the other players are at the back end of their careers, including their top scorer, he plays domestic football in peru. having said that panama have a is very experienced manager who is leading his third different nation to a world cup final but for this team being in russia is ground—breaking enough and if they pick up even one victory, it will be some achievement. if they pick up even one victory, it will be some achievement. now, he's the favourite to succeed zinedine zidane at real madrid and tottenham boss mauricio pochettino is in spain. but he isn't in the capital, instead he's in barcelona where he used to manage espanyol. the argentinian is there to promote a book. and despite pledging his allegiance to tottenham with a five year contract extension last week, listen to what he says about the real rumours. i ince all the rumours around the world, but that is our life, that is thatis
6:43 pm
world, but that is our life, that is that is the sport that we chose to stay, that is the passion that relates to everyone, look, i am so happy, iam relates to everyone, look, i am so happy, i am so excited, i sign a new contract ten days ago, what is going to happen tomorrow? i don't i don't know. stay with us — coming up later in the programme. tyson fury tells us he can beat every big name in the heavyweight division — including anthonyjoshua and deontay wilder. and we hear from three—time world champion asbel kiprop as he bids to clear his name. over at the french open in paris, novak djokovic came through a gruelling four—hour match against spanish 13th seed roberto bautista agut to reach the last 16. he lost his first set of the tournament so far and broke his first racket of the week too, after what was at times a frustrating match for him. but he's through to face fernando verdasco in the fourth
6:44 pm
round, after the spaniard beat fourth seed grigor dimitrov. while the women's fourth seed elina svitolina's also out. the epsom festival started today with "the oaks", the feature race for ladies day, won by forever together. the two—day event is the biggest annual gathering of people in surrey, culminating in tomorrow's derby — the world's greatest flat race. sara orchard has more. oks day at epsom. the festival sta rts oks day at epsom. the festival starts with ladies' day with plenty of race goers arriving hours in advance. meanwhile many stars of the show enjoyed a cooling bath behind the scene, and after recent heavily vain they would be in for a tough work out. never stop watcher the weather we were glad to avoid the
6:45 pm
showers yesterday because the racecourse would have taken it but it would have been softer ground, and in flat—racing terms it is soft enough as soft, good to soft places. the derby festival is the largest gathering of people in surrey, and after those highly publicised outbreak of violence at goodwood and ascot, there is a big focus on how this event is conducting its security and policing. our planning for the derby festival takes months and months and we work with police to make sure we have the right level of security measures in place, visitors to the racecourse will see a highly visible security presence, search property comes in place, sniffer dogs, amnesty bins. today's feature race was won by forever together trained by aiden o'brien and immediately thoughts will be on the derby, still considered the world's greatest flat race and it is o'brian's horse that remains the
6:46 pm
odds on favourite, a derby win would ta ke odds on favourite, a derby win would take the horse one step closer to winning british racing tripping crown. winning british racing tripping crown. the former world heavyweight champion tyson fury says he can beat any of the current champions in the division, including anthonyjoshua and deontay wilder. fury returns to the ring next weekend, more than two years since his last fight, when he defeated wladimir klitschko for the unified title in dusseldorf. and he's admitted that it's been a tough time out of the ring. it is not a secret i suffered mental health problem, depression and haul that stuff. i hit the drink quite heavily, and you know, it is all sweeter coming bark, some times in live you have to witness what it is like to be down and depressed and not ina like to be down and depressed and not in a good place to realise you have got it good. to being to normality is excellent for me, i joan life so much better the second time round, i feel like
6:47 pm
joan life so much better the second time round, ifeel like i have been given a second chance in life. boxing is like being married, it is never easy, you have to work at it. i have been married to the game for a long time. it is a long time. and we fell out of love for a while but i have learned to live her again and iam i have learned to live her again and i am madly in love with her again, when you are madly in love with somebody or something you do it best, don you. in the time you have been out, you have been in the papers a lot still, do you feel like controversy follows you round ?|j think so. i think i'm just like, mr accident prone, everything follows me where ever i go. i like to take positives out of negative, these days i know that life ain't going to be great every day, but we look forward to the good times and i look forward to the good times and i look forward to the good times and i look forward to them now. the second time round is going to be better than the first time, because before everything in my life went smooth, there was no hiccups along the way,
