a little bit of history was made at the football world cup in russia on saturday — the first use of the so—called video assistant referee. france were the beneficiaries, awarded a penalty in their match against australia. elsewhere, iceland continued their impressive form at recent international tournaments, holding argentina to a 1—1 draw. there were also wins for denmark and croatia, as the bbc‘s tim allman reports. ole, ole, ole! aussie, aussie! some fans have come a long way for this. many are bringing reminders from home. others aiming to win new recruits. that wonderful moment at the beginning of a tournament when anything seems possible.

we're headed for a 2—1 australia win. 2-0. 2—0, all right! we're hoping! australia 3—1, australia to win against the french. whatever the result, this match did seem a world cup first — the video assistant referee — var — awarding a penalty to france. these socceroos got a penalty of their own in the second half, making it 1—1. but paul pogba scored a late winner. the french were up and running. var seemed to be contagious. another spot kick this time awarded to peru. but you still have to put them in the back of the net. that miss proved crucial. yussuf poulsen,

sarah rainsford reports from moscow. in a video from the scene, the yellow taxi turns sharply from a queue of traffic and ploughs into the crowd on the pavement, scooping up and carrying several people along on its bonnet before crashing into a road sign. the driver then leaps out and sprints off, pursued by others in the crowd, including fans in football shirts. translation: there were mexicans, people were screaming. the only thing that stopped him is that he had crashed into the pillar, into the street sign. people who saw him, normal people, detained him. he started driving over people. people were everywhere, they were walking, there was absolutely no room. he was pulled out of the car and he started running. he jumped out and then the witnesses caught him. security is high here in russia, with the world cup under way and thousands of foreign fans visiting.

moscow's mayor has called what has happened close to red square "an unpleasant incident," and reports from two russian news agencies suggests the driver might have fallen asleep at the wheel and pressed the accelerator accidentally. according to their embassy, two mexicans are among those who were hurt, but not seriously. sarah rainsford, bbc news, moscow. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. at least seventeen people have been killed in a stampede at a nightclub outside the venezuelan capital caracas, after a tear gas canister was detonated. at least eight of the dead are children. the club was packed with students celebrating the end of the school year. the former boss of france telecom and six other members of his team are to be tried in connection with an alleged culture of harassment at the firm that's been linked to dozens of suicides. the former managers are accused of trying to force employees to leave in order to cut thousands of jobs. thailand's king has been granted full, personal ownership of royal assets thought to be worth at least $30 billion.

deal there was a arson attack on a shop on a property. it is a mattress business, the family live upstairs. it is six people of the same family we re it is six people of the same family were at least killed, including two children. what the neighbours described is that those who try to help to put out the fire were threatened by armed people who started this fire. the opposition even threatened not to take part in talks that are happening, to pull out. but eventually they decided to say that that is what they wanted to give up, the talks. it was an attack on the even with two months of violence, it was a attack that shocked nicaragua. the government and the opposition, they didn't seem to be able to really control this paramilitary militia, this squad behind most of the violence. surely

at some point, both groups have got to control those who are on the ground so that the violence doesn't escalate and doesn't continue? politically they are very split. this all started with a complaint about cuts to the pensions system and social security, it soon became and social security, it soon became a challenge against the government of daniel ortega, the former leader who has been in powerfor ii of daniel ortega, the former leader who has been in powerfor 11 years. many people think it is too long, that he should go. he is saying in the talks that the catholic church is mediating, he is saying that he is mediating, he is saying that he is not going to go. his term ends in 2021, he still has three years to go and will not accept earlier elections. both sides seem to be stuck on that. there were talks that fail before and unless there is a agreement, i think we will continue to see violence in nicaragua. thank you very much. greek prime minister alexis tsipras has survived a no—confidence

vote in parliament over a deal to end a decades—old dispute over the name of neighbouring macedonia. the macedonian leader agreed a deal to rename the country north macedonia, in exchange for greece stopping its block on the countryjoining the eu and nato. but the idea has met with fierce opposition in both countries, as andrew plant reports. protesters gathered in the greek capital, clashing with police outside parliament, as the prime minister survived a vote of no confidence inside. proving that ending the study seven year dispute will not be easy. —— seven year dispute. translation: the politicians have no right to do this. they are traitors, it is treason. this state is tarnishing

to face difficult weather. we started proceeding away towards spain, we were hit by 4m waves that were crashing over the deck. the spray was going over the bridge onto the decks on the aft part of the ship. these people are already so vulnerable and it's just putting a huge amount of strain on already extremely tired, vulnerable people who just survived a shipwreck. so not a great situation on board here. at the port in valencia, the red cross and medecins sans frontieres are preparing for aquarius' arrival, with more than 1000 volunteers on hand to help. translation: vulnerable people are travelling on aquarius and the italian vessels, including children and pregnant women. there is also a group of people who have suffered burns, some second—degree burns, due to the mixture of water and fuel. in general, medical teams are used to this kind of situation and the patients are stable. but it is clear that such

a long trip in such harsh conditions doesn't help. spain and france say europe has a humanitarian and legal duty to give those saved at sea safe landing. italy's new populist government, though, is continuing to push its tough line. but for these people, afterjourneys lasting weeks and maybe months, they are finally about to set foot in europe. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: shock and sadness in scotland and beyond. surveying the damage of the second fire to hit the world—renowned glasgow school of art. there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used by the ira was given.

with officials and soldiers. the two sides were fighting each otherjust a few days ago. the unprecedented development was due to a three—day ceasefire declared for the muslim religious festival of eid. in some places, soldiers were hugging taliban fighters and exchanging eid greetings. dozens of unarmed taliban fighters also entered the capital city, kabul. the interior minister, wais ahmad barmak, met taliban fighters briefly, an almost unthinkable encounter a few days ago. but the taliban says it is only temporary. translation: we don't have a problem with afghan police and afghan forces. we fight because there are foreigners in our country. there are americans in our country. we fight americans if we see them now, and we will fight them after the ceasefire has finished. the truth has been widely observed in most parts of afghanistan,

but the ceasefire was marred by a suicide attack in nangarhar province. despite the breach, the afghan president, ashraf ghani, wants the ceasefire to continue. translation: i have ordered afghan security and defence forces to extend the ceasefire from monday, the fourth day of eid. more details of the ceasefire will be shared with the nation soon. i also urge the taliban to extend their ceasefire. the war—weary afghans want an end to the cycle of violence. for the moment, the temporary ceasefire has raised hopes of permanent peace. students from a school in the us state of florida which saw one of the worst ever

shootings in the country have begun a national tour aimed at advocating gun law reform. 17 people died when a former student attacked the marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland. campaigners have now embarked on a bus tour to try to register young people to vote for and advocate tougher laws on gun control. parkland students! how are you doing, chicago? isaid, how y'all doing, chicago? isaid, how y'all doing, chicago? isaid, how y'all doing, chicago? all of your voices come ina doing, chicago? all of your voices come in a matter where you come from, your community, your economic background, matter. your voices are strong and in this movement every single voice, no matter where it comes from, matters. it is not good

enough to vote for a candidate just because they have a d next to their name. i will repeat that. it is not good enough to vote for a candidate just because they have a d next to their name. the students of parklands deserve better. the students of chicago deserve better. and the students across america deserve better. seeing the parkland students up there, that was really, like, it showed me how much i care about this, actually, and seeing kids like this, that they had to go through this in school, it is sad and horrible, so, yeah. joining me now live from chicago is reporter for the washington post, mark guarino, who has been speaking to students at the rally. mark, first things first. why have they chosen chicago to start this campaign? well, chicago u nfortu nately has campaign? well, chicago unfortunately has developed a bad reputation for gun violence in two parts of the city, the south side

and the west side. so the students made a connection with a lot of the stu d e nts made a connection with a lot of the students on both those sides of the city to talk about shared trauma with gun violence. isn't chicago also one of those places that opponents of gun control laws say already has strict gun control, yet the shootings still keep continuing? that's right. there are many different factors for that. one fact that was discussed today among stu d e nts that was discussed today among students and is often talked about with law enforcement here is guns coming overfrom the indiana border. so purchases that are made right across the border are brought in, sold on the street, and so essentially bypassing state, and local laws. you have a chance to speak to the students. did they tell you? it was really incredible. the stu d e nts you? it was really incredible. the students from florida were really spending a lot of time with the stu d e nts spending a lot of time with the students from chicago. what they

talked about was what they had in common. these are two communities which at first glance would seem to have nothing in common. but actually, they sort of talked about their shared experiences dealing with gun violence. the chicago stu d e nts with gun violence. the chicago students talking about how it is something that is sort of an everyday currency. it is something thatis everyday currency. it is something that is happening on the street. the stu d e nts that is happening on the street. the students in florida are talking about something happening in their school. so different circumstances, but they are the same age, they are talking about is the same dramatic feelings and tensions that they feel when just wanting to go to class. when you say that at first glance it appears they have nothing in common, thatis appears they have nothing in common, that is because the florida students are largely from affluent backgrounds, and in chicago, the south side is much poorer, and there are those stereotypes. from here across the pond it seems as though this movement by the parkland

stu d e nts this movement by the parkland students is different from any other gun control advocacy movement we have seen in the past. would that be correct? hard to say. one of the reasons is obviously that they are kids, but they are really making an effort to make it, i am actually a talent for right now outside chicago, and one of the students, one of the things they talk about is about keeping it pure, by which they mean making sure that the speakers and the organisers are just the students. so it is the best of what you think about a grassroots movement, they are trying to keep it grassroots. like any grassroots movement, it grows organically. i think that is what makes it very different. we are hearing voices and stories and perspectives that we typically do not hear from those of the groups you have mentioned. thank you very much. mark why renault of the washington post, with some shoe leather reporting in chicago. —— mark guarino. friday night's fire at the glasgow school of art has

been described as heartbreaking by scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon. she was surveying the extensive damage caused by the blaze which broke out late last night in the mackintosh building. it was being restored after another fire four years ago. our correspondent alexandra mackenzie reports. a sight no—one imagined they would never see again. glasgow's cherished mackintosh building was engulfed in flames for a second time. as the fire took hold in the early hours of this morning, thick smoke could be seen from miles around. as the fire rapidly spread, some local residents were evacuated from their homes and businesses. more than 60 firefighters have been tackling this major blaze for several hours, and it now looks as if the flames have spread to a second building. it had indeed spread, to the nearby campus nightclub, and the 02 abc music venue. more resources were drafted in from across scotland,

and at its height, 120 firefighters fought to save these buildings. as dawn broke and the smoke subsided, the remains of the mackintosh building began to emerge. the extent of the damage was far worse than from the fire four years ago. we are working on all fronts, we are working on four different parts of the building, and the main operation at the moment is trying to extinguish the fire completely within both the school of art and adjacent buildings. affectionately known as the mac, the grade a listed building was completed in 1909. considered to be charles rennie mackintosh's masterpiece, it can be seen here in its former glory. but four years ago, fire ripped through the library. valuable archives and original furniture and fittings, designed by mackintosh, were reduced to blackened rubble. the building was being restored

and was due to reopen next year. as scotland's first minister paid tribute to firefighters this afternoon, that looked increasingly unlikely. 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 the speedy response of the fire service, and for that i am immensely grateful to all of them. investigation teams will now begin their painstaking work to find out why such a devastating fire broke out on this historic site for a second time. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm at nkem ifejika. on saturday, the weather was a little hit and miss

across the north. we had some downpours and thunderstorms. we are not expecting that on sunday. however, sunday is expected to be a cloudy day across much of the country. it may remain overcast right through the afternoon and into the evening across some western areas with a bit of light rain or drizzle. through the early hours, you can see the clear skies across some parts of the uk and as a result, quite chilly in rural spots. but this cloud will be over us on sunday but at least it won't be pouring with rain. through the early hours, you can see the clearer skies across eastern and northern areas. towards the west, we have the encroaching crowd, carried by an atlantic breeze. temperatures in the south first thing will be around 13 degrees, cooler in scotland, possibly as low as four degrees first thing in the morning. it starts off quite bright across eastern counties but quickly the clouds will increase. around some of the coastal areas, thick cloud and drizzle at times but also a few glimmers of brightness. however, the best chance of sunshine, i think, on sunday, across northern and eastern parts of scotland. aberdeen getting up to 19 celsius.

that is how it will end on sunday. cloudy. here's a quick look at the pollen levels, you can see they are pretty high across england but with the winds coming in off the atlantic, just moderate levels across the west of the uk. as we go through monday and tuesday, we will progressively see the weather systems moving towards the north. still, some weather fronts slicing across the northern half of the uk. the trend will be for warmer air to start wafting in from the south so temperatures are expected to gradually rise across the southern half of the uk through the week. monday starts of sunny across eastern and southern areas. we have the weather fronts moving into scotland, northern ireland and the north—west. there will be a bit of rain here. low pressure to the north. look at the weather in the south. lots of sunshine and temperatures

getting into the mid—20s. as we go through tuesday and wednesday, the temperatures are expected to rise even further. the warmth, as it comes in from the south, doesn't quite reach scotland or northern ireland. it turns and ends up in continental europe. the temperatures are only expected to rise across the southern half of the uk. the mid—high 20s in london but in aberdeen, temperatures will be closer to the teens. that is the latest from me. bye bye. this is bbc news, the headlines. at the world cup in russia, iceland has held off football giants argentina to secure a draw. the argentine star player lionel messi failed to score from the penalty spot. police in moscow are questioning a man after a taxi veered into pedestrians near red square, injuring eight people. some of those hurt were mexican football fans visiting the city for the world cup. there's been fresh violence in nicaragua just a day after the governent and opposition called a ceasefire.

eight people died on saturday, including six members of one family whose home was burned down at dawn. there've been protests in greece after prime minister alexis tsipras survived a no—confidence vote brought by the opposition after he struck a controversial deal over the renaming of neighbouring macedonia.
