7:30 pm
125, four orfive expected in norwich and london. only 12 degrees in the far northwest of scotland with those very strong up to gale force winds. that is the trend we're going to see into next week. we will see warm aircoming going to see into next week. we will see warm air coming in from the south, but unfortunately it will turn and move across england and never reach scotland. so in scotland the temperatures will remain low into next week, say around 1a degrees there in aberdeen where it is far south in london, possibly as high as the high 20s. this is bbc news, our latest headlines. scotland's first minister has described the fire which gutted glasgow's school of art as "heartbreaking". the celebrated mackintosh building was being restored after another fire four years ago. we don't know what the structural damage is, the damage... so it's too early to say what will be required,
7:31 pm
but i can say absolutely that we will be there to help. the home secretary uses an exceptional power to release illegal cannabis oil to treat severely epileptic billy caldwell, after doctors said it was a "medical emergency". sinn fein delegates at a conference in belfast vote in favour of liberalising abortion law. now on bbc news, sportsday. hello, i'm olly foster live in moscow on the busy so far at the world cup, here's what's coming up on sportsday tonight. a costly miss from messi. iceland, making their world cup debut have stunned argentina. var and goal—line technology helps france get past australia but did the officials get it right?
7:32 pm
we'll also have the latest from the england camp, just two days out from their opening match. i'm hugh ferris, also coming up in the programme. england give up another lead to lose again in south africa. the defeat in the second test in bloemfontein is their fifth in a row. and andy murray's long—awaited comeback will be at queen's. he'll play his first match for nearly a year at the tournament next week. good evening, we've got four matches on the third day of world cup, three results are in. last night, all the football chat in the bars and restaurants in moscow was about that portugal and spain match, everyone raising
7:33 pm
a glass to the genius of cristiano ronaldo. today it was over to lionel messi and his argentina side here in the captial facing iceland making their world cup debut. —— capital. they splenic fans getting back from the stadium where iceland stunned argentina, getting a draw on their world cup debut. a nation of just draw on their world cup debut. a nation ofjust 300,000, and the captain all, would you believe it but lionel messier fluffing his chance from the spot to win the match for argentina. finished 1—1... joe lynskey reports. look down the line at this argentine generation, it's defined by an icon. just the presence of lionel massey makes them believe. but the argentine accusation is they rely on him, and the rest of their superstars don't step forward. so for sergio aguero,
7:34 pm
a moment to come out of the shadows. prolific in the premier league, this is his first world cup goal. but if so those... the other is iceland's approach, built on unity and the courage to go forward. they dared strike backjust three minutes later. keeping his nerve in the chaos was offered from boggess and, a cold—blooded finisher crafted in edinburgh. his boyhood club shared his nation's excitement. on this greatest stage, no minnow has faced argentina like this. the two—time champions would come again and forced a penalty. the moment seemed set up for lionel massey, but it brought a different story. denied by goalkeeper from the danish league, reaching for his own glory. and as the game slipped away from argentina, there was time for one more intervention.
7:35 pm
a keeper like his team, inspired. and proof that only at this competition can the smallest nation's spirit stop football's biggest power. what a result for iceland. the other two teams in group d are croatia and nigeria, our football reporter john bennett is there. how was that result received? it makes this group very interesting now. the fans are walking to the stadium behind me. it's a great atmosphere behind me. it's a great atmosphere behind me, with all the fans making really well. but opportunity knocks for both of these sides, nigeria and
7:36 pm
croatia. both of them potentially dark horses in this tournament with nigeria, you never know what you will get. they be argentina in a friendly back in november, great performance, then they came to england to play at wembley a few weeks ago. they were really disappointing at wembley stadium, 2-1, disappointing at wembley stadium, 2—1, they were awful in the first half. they have the type of team that if they can gel, they could go really far at the world cup here in russia. they haven't been past the group stages since france 1998 when they reached the semifinal. we will hear from they reached the semifinal. we will hearfrom one of they reached the semifinal. we will hear from one of the oldest players and a very young team, the youngest squad at the world cup. here is how they will approach this tournament. we like to control the game, we like to be aggressive. and if we do all this, we will have a great chance. yes, a few extremes players, young teen, not a lot of players were here in the last world cup.
7:37 pm
but i think this might be a very good thing for us, because these players have something to prove, they want to show the world what they can do. brilliant atmosphere, i think the fa ns brilliant atmosphere, i think the fans will really enjoy being in this city when they play belgian here at the stadium in the enclave which is about 1200 km from moscow. as for nigeria, the good news for them is that all their bonus rows that plagued their tournament four years ago are over. they nearly went on strike before the second round match against france four years ago, i was following the story back then. it was a toxic atmosphere in the group, but this time around all the bonuses have been paid up front, so all the nigerian players have the money in their bank account. it should be a fantastic match, a lot of good attacking players on show. the
7:38 pm
former woolford player, and of course mario mandzukic for croatia. kick off very soon, group d is wide open. thank you very much. john will keep us updated on that match that kicks off in the next 20 minutes or so. lets get to the first match of the day now, it was in kazan, france against australia in group c we knew that there would be some var controversy somewhere as the technology is used dembele as well. they rode their luck against australia and the soccer ruse, they relied a lot on technology. but pretty controversial because did the officials actually get it right? : mcnamara is here, as
7:39 pm
was dion dublin. we had our very first var result of the cup. france had been australia by 2—1, but we haven't heard the end of this deal. what's your view on the council decision? the first call was it wasn't a penalty, i saw the var shots and thought it wasn't too sure. really difficult for the officials. at this stage of the game, it had been 0—0. france needed something to go to their weight because australia have been organised in defending against them. i love the australians and their defence, their organisation. a little bit of sprinkling from dish of quality from the french was too much for them. australia's goal deflected, one of her friends,
7:40 pm
much for them. australia's goal deflected, one of herfriends, it came back out again after hitting the crossbar. all goals talking points of own. why did he put his hand in the air? i don't know, and i thought to myself at the end, this is not australia's day—to—day. thought to myself at the end, this is not australia's day-to-day. other teams in this group, peru and denmark, and france will have to up their gear to make sure they go on and win this group, but they're off toa and win this group, but they're off to a winning start, having been australia 2—1. to a winning start, having been australia 2-1. he mentioned peru and denmark, that match finished in the last 45 minutes, and christian eriksen's denmark came out on top 1-0, but eriksen's denmark came out on top 1—0, but they were pushing their luck as well. they also saw there down in saran scott, a tiny host city, some var technology being used, not particularly swiftly. this was the main talking point in the first half. the peruvian was fouled
7:41 pm
in the penalty box, and the referee plato —— waved play on. in an age for them to pull the game back, they had a look at the var and gave the penalty, but cueva's penalty sailed over the bar. there was another penalty missed that sailed over the bar, so he was fouled, he waved play on the referee, but they have looked at the var and given that penalty, and absolutely terrible penalty, flying high over the bar. the match was decided in the second half, denmark put through by a lovely ball by christian eriksen. 1— 02 the danes in the end. ending upjust behind france after that win, but peru in theirfirst —— winning their
7:42 pm
first cup since 1982. they had so many chances to win it, kasper schmeichel, the danish keeper pulled off several good saves. when we come back, we'll go live to the england tea m back, we'll go live to the england team camp. but for now, let's catch up team camp. but for now, let's catch up with all the rest of today's sports news at this with you ferris. let's go to hugh now back in the studio with a round—up of the day's sport away from the world cup. we'll start in bloemfontein where england suffered a fifth defeat in a row for the first time in four years. losing the second test against south africa by 23 points to 12. and it came in familiar fashion, as james burford reports. eddiejones is looking for his team to sing from the same hymn sheet, but in bloemfontein, these south african players are rock stars. england's made the fastest of starts last week, and went on to lose. they hoped this would not meet more of the same as mike brown touchdown within the first ten minutes.
7:43 pm
but that was not the only trick up there steve. how about this for a bit ofjuggling from brown? finding the ace in the hole, or the space on the wing asjohnny may did his best to spoil the party. it would not be long before south africa got going. step forward, no, strike forward. they started to folks england down. one penalty try later, in england's disciplinary downfall certainly responsible for south africa's points all. nathan hughes the pantomime villain of this occasion. the last laugh belongs to south africa today, this is england's longest losing streak since 2004. ireland won a thrilling second test against australia to level their series at 1—1. their 26—21 victory in melbourne was their first test win in the country for 39 years. the wallabies were 1—0 up after beating the six nations champions in brisbane last week. and were leading injust the second minute today, but ireland fought back with 16 points from jonny sexton. and prop tai furlong touching down to score the crucial try. the decider is next week in sydney.
7:44 pm
so confirmation of ireland's win, and england's defeat. while later wales play argentina in santa fe. and overnight it's the usa against scotland. england have been beaten them by 30 runs... the english batsmen scored 342-8 in runs... the english batsmen scored 342—8 in their 50 overs, a record against australia. patrick yeary reports. 11 australians took to the field hoping to thwart men in blue, where the french footballer die—cut bollards. .. not what you face jason roy upfront, capable of the long—range spectacular. he went from
7:45 pm
0-197 long—range spectacular. he went from 0—197 balls, controlled acceleration. he went —— made 20 work before encountering a sharp pain. captain tim's solve one problem, butjust pain. captain tim's solve one problem, but just butland pain. captain tim's solve one problem, butjust butland is always finding innovative solutions. want to get started, there's no stopping them. against australia, to the chase, a chance for england to strip back and expose any flaws in the aussie order, batting uncovered. five wickets fell before shaun marsh decided there was only one way out of this. he smashed a century. a remarkable effort, but he had to ta ke remarkable effort, but he had to take one risk too many against liam plunkett. england's match, and so far their series. scotland's reply just
7:46 pm
scotland's replyjust159—5, scotland's reply just 159—5, not nearly enough, ireland winning by 46 runs. play got under way two hours late in st lucia after a row over ball tampering in the test between west indies and sri lanka. west indies were awarded five penalty runs after sri lanka initially refused to take the field for the third day. they were protesting the umpires' decision to change the ball. the tourists' captain dinesh chandimal eventually led his team out. before arguing with the match referee. and walking off again. but play has now resumed with west indies chasing sri lanka's first innings total of 253. world number one dustin johnson will tee off atjust after 8pm this evening for his final round of the us open. at the beginning of the day, he had a four shot lead at shinnecock hills. but we've had a remarkable moment in the last half hour. we know many players have been strugglig with the difficulty of this course in new york state. it seems to have got to even one of the most experienced players in the field. look at this, phil mickelson chasing after his ball and hitting it back towards the hole as it was about to roll down off the green.
7:47 pm
it gets him a two shot penalty, and it's understood he could decide to withdraw from the tournament. andy murray will play for the first time in almost a year when he makes his comeback from hip surgery at queen's next week. the three time grand slam winner will make his long awaited return to the court after having the operation injanuary. and coming through a training session yesterday. he'll play nick krygios in the first round. which will be his first competitive match since wimbledon last year. and in the semi—finals of the nottingham open. british number one johanna konta is currently one set up against defending champion donna vekic, with play suspended due to rain. the croat caused an upset in last year's final, where she beat konta after recovering from a set down. but today, a dominant looking konta currently leads 6—2, taking the first set in under half an hour at the blustery nottingham tennis centre. the winner will face australian number one ashleigh barty in the final, who beat naomi osaka in straight
7:48 pm
sets during their semifinal. denmark's amalie dideriksen won stage four of the women's tour of great britain. while coryn rivera of america retained the overall lead with just one stage to go of the race. dideriksen sprinted to victory at the end of the 130 kilometre stage into worcester. marianne vos was third. which helped her narrow the gap to rivera. whose advantage is now 14 seconds. britain's dani rowe is third overall. the race concludes tomorrow in colwyn bay. jorge lorenzo has claimed his first motogp pole position for ducati in qualifying for the catalan grand prix in barcelona. the spaniard recorded his first win with his team last time out in italy. and his run of form continued as he beat reigning champion marc marquez by six—hundredths of a second. cal crutchlow‘s hopes took a tumble on the penultimate corner. and the briton will start from tenth on the grid. if you've spent the entire day
7:49 pm
watching football, ollie from masco still has more to come. so no reason to. we love people watching here in moscow, just off our balcony in the shadow of saint basil's cathedral. quite a few icelandic fans back in the centre of town and after that amazing draw against argentina. i'm sure we will still see them out all little bit later. high time we get to the england team campjust outside saint petersburg, dan rowan is there. that evening, we understand that gareth southgate has given his chosen 11 a tap on the shoulder today's out, letting them know they will start against tunisia. a lot of chat about this, is ita tunisia. a lot of chat about this, is it a good or bad thing? would players prefer to know in advance? the risk is that it leaks out and
7:50 pm
everybody knows, including the opposition? that's the downside, although you may remember bob —— rob green said recently that he did not like it back in 2010, left until a couple of hours until that first match against the united states to let him know that be starting for his country. it depends on the player, some would like more notice than that, and when it comes to gareth southgate you're absolutely right. all the players know where they stand because he has informed them of who will be in the starting level for the massive opening match on monday night against tunisia. there is a risk if you name aside that early, it leaked out two or three days ago when it appeared the training session england held here was watched by certain members of the media, and the tomb was widely
7:51 pm
reported it was unlikely to change much from that. some big decisions made by the likes of whichjordan henderson, ashley young appears to have won the battle over danny rose. fabian delph was the man offered up to the media here at a press conference. he will not be expected to be part of this the mica that starting 11. he spoke a little bit about the atmosphere in the squad. we are a close bunch, but once training starts its fiery and spicy, the intensity is there. people are not afraid to dig people up. nothing is ever personal, that's what i found with this squad, and if somebody has got something to say, as long as it's constructive criticism, people take it on the chin. england's preparations
7:52 pm
continue here on the gulf of finland coast, where they have now been for five days. they will train for the —— tomorrow morning before making the thousand mile journey from here via saint petersburg airport, where they will have to acclimatize quickly. there is some question as to whether they should have trained their to get prepared for the blisteringly hot temperatures the city is expecting right now, much warmer than here where the climate is similarto warmer than here where the climate is similar to the conditions they will then —— have been used to back him. the big build—up begins for that titanic battle. today's you are not a battle that england can take lightly —— tunisia. gareth southgate will impress upon his players the need for them to be focused and take nothing for granted. but the atmosphere in this camp is extremely
7:53 pm
relaxed, we arrived here yesterday. usually england builds up to tournaments with massive crises or injuries or dramas, but not this time. they are a youth —— youthful squad who seems delighted to be here. let's see how they get on on monday night. many thanks to you. our sports editor there at the england team camp many miles from here. we've had four penalties today on the third day of the world cup, two of them have been scored, two of them have been missed. mike bushel went to meet a master penalty taker, and the art of taking that 12 yard spot kick. face—to—face with the best penalty taker the game has ever seen in this showdown at 12 yards. and all his professional career, he's missed one of 49 penalties. but even though i didn't stand a chance, he wasn't
7:54 pm
brave enough to look me in the eye. it went the right way a mac until i realise why. i never like to make eye co nta ct realise why. i never like to make eye contact with the goalkeeper at all, i wanted to give him no clues. my all, i wanted to give him no clues. my focus would be on the ball or just above the ball so i could see what the goalkeeper but doctor was doing. for me, this alone didn't make much difference. oh no. you need to get the angle, not this angle. the run up is quite slow, just before the ball, you can accelerate into it and get the speed on the ball. practise your technique side footing the ball accurately. there we go! matt believes that like me, the current young england side would
7:55 pm
have learned from the past, and the nightmares of penalty shoot out defeats like the one era southgate was part of in 1996. you have to work really ha rd was part of in 1996. you have to work really hard on dismissing all the negative thoughts that go do your head when you stack up to step up your head when you stack up to step up to take the penalty. i used to imagine the crowd erupting when i scored the penalty. yeah! i've been relegated to the position of ball boy as the youngsters here learn from the best penalty taker of all time. strike is argued as you can with the inside of your foot. —— as ha rd with the inside of your foot. —— as hard as you can. sending the keeper the wrong way! there you go.“ hard as you can. sending the keeper the wrong way! there you go. if this is the future, penalty playing will surely be the scourge of previous generations. that sends them the wrong way! you have to always look
7:56 pm
at where you're going to look at where you go. and where you're going, then you can shoot down the goalkeeper. still full of confidence by little haunted by the past. had he think england will do for them to penalty shoot out? terrible. terrible? this is where you need to start, this is his age you need to train people to get good at penalties. one-year-old ruben sent oui’ penalties. one-year-old ruben sent our goalkeeper the wrong way. hope you're watching, kanon coe. easy as pie, isn't it? i'm sure harry kind —— harry kane and coke were watching, let's hope it doesn't boil down to penalties in the like is knockout stage. let's reflect on a match yesterday in group a, egypt, moe cella didn't have any part in that match against uruguay. he had to watch from the bench while his egypt team mates
7:57 pm
lost 1—0 to uruguay. however, the squad did their best to lift his spirits singing happy birthday to him when he was presented with this massive birthday cake in the team hotel. he was the golden boot winner in the premier league, a fantastic season for liverpool. i hope he shared that ta ke for liverpool. i hope he shared that take around a bit, otherwise i'm not sure he would be fit to face the russians in their next group a match next week. we will have updates on the nigeria croatia game that'sjust about to kick—off in: ingratitude on bbc news, but from us here at sportsday, that's it from us for 110w. well, as forecast today we had some showers and one
7:58 pm
or two thunderstorms. for example, in manchester. how about tomorrow? tomorrow is going to be quite a cloudy day across the uk, pretty much for the morning onwards. and most of are going to end up with a cloudy afternoon, not an awful of sunshine on the way. in fact, you can see all the cloud just to the west of us right now. with that, comes a bit of rain. most of that rain, however, is point to fizzle away by the time it reaches us. tonight fairly cool, particularly in scotland. in some rural spots it will be down to 4 degrees. in the south, typically, around 10—13. here's tomorrow, the cloud comes in off the atlantic, on a feral breeze as well, a westerly wind. there will be a bit of a drizzle arount some of the coasts there, maybe the southwest of england, maybe wales, northern ireland too. if there will be any sunshine tomorrow, it's most likely across northeastern and eastern scotland, and possibly closer to the north sea coast. and then, over the next few days, it looks like in the south it will be warming up quite significantly.
7:59 pm
this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 8... the home secretary uses ‘exceptional powers' to allow doctors to treat severely epileptic billy caldwell with illegal cannabis oil. the home office can no longer play a role, in fact play any role, in the administration of medication for sick children in our country. no other family should have to go through this sort of ordeal. a second devastating fire in four years at the glasgow school of art has caused extensive damage. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, praised the response of the emergency services. the most important thing today is that we are not mourning loss of life and we should not forget that. that is down to the skill and
