trump will seize upon donald trump will seize upon that text, stop trump text, exchange by two fbi agents who went on to serve in the russian investigation. thank you. that's almost it from us for tonight. but before we go, we leave you with this special tribute to the 72 people who lost their lives following the grenfell tower fire, a year ago today. goodnight. i hear your voice every day... and i see your face when you're not there. at that moment, we felt like our hearts had broken. the most intelligent, wise and eloquent girl i ever knew. isaac made us very happy. he was my spitting image. he was my little man. there's a gaping hole in our hearts that can never be

filled, and it hurts. they were beautiful, glorious, wondrous years, filled with happiness, love and laughter. i adored her. i wanted to hug my dad, smell my dad, feel my dad, hold my dad. there will be two empty chairs on the table for every birthday, christmas and new year's. but they'll forever own a position in our hearts. hello this is sportsday i'm olly foster, live in moscow. it's been a great start for the hosts at the world cup. russia are the lowest ranked team in the tournament but they rise to the occasion and hit five past saudi arabia. russia on target, what about

england, we'll have the latest from the team camp, still four days away from their opening match. and i'm sarah mulkerrins, away from the world cup. anguish for 2011 champion rory mcilroy in high winds at the us open. he shoots a ten over par first round of 80 at shinnecock hills. and johanna konta continues her winning run on grass, with victory at the nottingham open hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm olly foster. one match down 63 to go and what a start for hosts, the luznikhi stadium is still [it up here behind me and russia lit up this world cup with a result that noone really saw coming. first we had an opening ceremony. robbie williams took

centre stage, vladimir putin gave a speech welcoming the world and promising a feast of football, his team came good on that thrashing saudi arabia 5—0. adan wild reports. after all the waiting, all be anticipating, this was finally rushed both of moment to welcome the world. but before the real entertainment, there was their real entertainer, robbie williams providing a little english swagger. make no mistake, this was russia's show. vladimir putin centrestage with the greetings. against saudi arabia, this was his nation's time to perform. pride can take a way. there is no shortage of that, the opening games opening moments, it seemed all of russia have been waiting for. with much talk of politics, this was no international

diplomacy. the world can't wait. the striker barely a quarter of the game gone injured, his race was run. so often gone injured, his race was run. so ofte n co m es gone injured, his race was run. so often comes opportunity, this was his replacement taking his 2—0 before half—time. in truth, saudi arabia offered little suggest they would interrupt this russian party. chances are scarce and never taken. the hosts meanwhile they were beginning to enjoy themselves, finding the space is gorrer a third, the passion of a nation. when it seemed things but barely gets much better, they came of gold they could barely be bettered. a goal worthy of russian football biggest day. fitting then that final moment again belongs to them. alexander what can you say? russia's world cup has begun and in some style. it couldn't have gone much better for the hosts in their opener, could it?

conor mcnamara was commentating on the match for bbc radio five live alongside former england international, dion dublin. that was quite again, what do you think of it? was not expecting it. the organisation of the russians and it physicality of the russians, the manager got it right, it might not get on you know they've got it right for the first match of 2018, saudi arabia, just looked at little bit out of their depth. they played really good football, they u nfortu nately really good football, they unfortunately overplayed in the wrong areas, they did not look organised. physically they looked very slight. yes, maybe a little bit out of that. the tests will get much harder much quickly for the russians because next up it egypt. if mo salah is fit to play that game, the defenders, they were never challenged for paste the night, they we re challenged for paste the night, they were never in the one—on—one. they would be against mo salah, do you think they would struggle and soirees when they play your about —— uruguay? i think there's possibly

more chinks in the armour of the russians, they weren't tested at all, everything in the final third saudi arabia tried to do, they obviously took the wrong decision or the russians squashed it. i can't believe some of the failures of the saudi arabians. this massive relief for the russians. in the past when they play the opening game, the whole thing never been beaten in the opening game of a world cup match and russia they have outdone themselves here. not only have they not been beaten, they have been saudi arabia by five goals and it's a storyline that's really kicks the atmosphere in russia at the very start of the world cup. fair to say the jury's still out on how good or bad this russia team is, not that their supporters here at the luzhniki stadium care. they're just delighted to see their team win. saudi arabia said he have uruguay next. the russians don't care how

bad saudi arabia were, let's hear from some of their fans now. amazing, impressive, full of energy. cheers. is very important to win and have a good start at the tournament. the russian team has not won the past eight games so we played did as good as saudi arabia maybe what we wa nt good as saudi arabia maybe what we want so hopefully now we will be out of the group, it's a good part to get some confidence. we will not win world cup but quarterfinal, we can go to quarterfinal i think. let's get a quick update from the england camp now. away from today's action england forward marcus rashford is expected to take a full part in england training tomorrow after missing yesterday's opening session and working separately from the main group today. he suffered a knock to the knee during a practise match at st george's park on monday. the england squad have been carrying on in their relaxed mood. chelsea defender gary cahill taking on charlie sale of the daily mail in a darts match earlier. a number of the players then went on to play some ten—pin bowling. kieran trippier is expected to start monday's match against tunisia

and he's been talking up the credentials of his spurs team mate harry kane as captain. a bit of bowling going on as well. his captain of course, a team—mate, harry kane what does he make of his captain? begin the on and off the field, professional, even off the field just speaking to him one—to—one, he's a great person, he's there to help you individually or as a group, not a bad person at all. never going

to say anything nasty about his club team—mate. red state tomorrow, coming back from red square. it's home for the entirety of the people world cup. pledged to look forward to tomorrow. we are both egypt against uruguay and morocco against iran and portugal against spain. what kind of status spain after sacking their manager yesterday. that's all from the stadium, it looks wonderful but that it? we have a final there onjuly the 15th, there onjuly a final there onjuly the 15th, there on july the 15th, a final there onjuly the 15th, there onjuly the 15th, zero? back to sarah mulkerrins back at the bbc sports centre with the rest of the day's sports news. it's been a day of wildly mixed fortunes in high winds on the opening day of the us open at shinnecock hills. rory mcilroy said he was confident before the start of the championship, but he fell victim to those very testing windy conditions, he shot a ten over par first round of 80. leading the way for the british players was ian poulter, who shot a one under par 69, to take a share of the clubhouse lead. world number one dustin johnson is going nicely, this for a birdie on the 11th moved him to three

under, but he's since dropped a shot, joint lead on the course with russell henley. british number one johanna konta says she feels fortunate to have beaten compatriot heather watson in straight sets at the nottingham open. konta was taken to a tie break in the second set and it took an hour and 39 minutes to get past watson, who's currently ranked 69 places lower. konta will face da—lila jaku—povic from slovenia in the quarter final. in rugby union, flanker brad shields will make his first international start for england, as they aim to level their three match series with south africa this weekend. that means former captain chris robshaw won't be taking part, he's been left out of the squad entirely. new zealand—born shields was fast—tracked into the squad by head coach eddiejones and he made his debut off the bench in the first test.

danny cipriani is a replacement for the match in bloemfontein on saturday, and in line for his first cap in three years. ellis jenkins will start at blindside flanker for wales as one of five changes for the second test with argentina on saturday. there are also starts for scrum—half aled davies, hooker ryan elias, and tight head tomas francis. owen watkin replaces the injured hadleigh parkes. wales lead the series 1—0. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. with me are katy balls, political correspondent at the spectator and joe watts, political editor at the independent. most of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro reports on the tube driver who stopped his train above a vigil for the victims of the grenfell tower fire. he says it was to honour a friend killed in the disaster. under the headline "welfa re shambles" the i reports that universal credit, the flagship benefit brought in to save taxpayers money,now costs four times more than originally planned to administer. the express leads on one family's call to scrap hospital parking charges in england which they blame for their father's death. the mirror claims a primary school

in theresa may's maidenhead constituency is so cash—strapped it is asking parents for toilet roll. the times reports on accusations by some bbc presenters that the corporation threw "them under a bus" by switching them on to the staff payroll in a move that leaves them facing higher taxes. the telegraph claims the prime minister is set give the nhs a four billion pounds boost, funded by borrowing, taxation and a brexit dividend. the guardian says theresa may is heading for a fresh showdown with conservative rebels after they rejected a government, drafted amendment to the eu withdrawal bill. the ft says the consumer goods group, unilever, is ‘extremely‘ unlikely to remain in the ftse 100 once it consolidates its headquarters to the netherlands.

just a flavour of the front pages as they come into us. let's go through them right now. and katie, why don't you get off, we have seen a very moving day of tributes ready on this anniversary of the grenville disaster. but days was particular the poignant i suppose because it was one individual making his own special tribute and quite an unusual tribute in a sense. yes, i think perhaps the passengers were surprised as well. this is a tube driver, who stopped the tube he was driving and on one of the bridges. and that few but very near where the grenville tower is and where the fire was. and the attribute there, i'm the reason being was that his close friend lost their life in the fire. so that was a personal tribute andi fire. so that was a personal tribute and i think it's one of many today right now i think there is a silent

march going on through the area and there are still lots of questions probably more questions than answers about what happened. it's touching to see the communities coming together at least and what has been aan together at least and what has been a an awful situation. a lot of anger it's fair to say as well as grief. yes there is, the whole weird green for grenfell yes there is, the whole weird green for g re nfell tower yes there is, the whole weird green for grenfell tower is about keeping the story alive and making sure that
