it is 7:00am in singapore, midnight in london and 2:00am in moscow, where it's been a day of surprises in the world cup. both of the tournament favourites, brazil and germany, have failed to win their opening matches. brazil were held to a 1—1 draw in their game against switzerland. but the biggest shock was a defeat by the defending champions germany, at the hands of mexico, 1—0. 0lly foster is in moscow, where he explained how the mexican fans have taken over. so colourful, their songs have been infectious, but it was game day on sunday, and they must have gone into that match at the stadium, a couple of miles south from us here with some trepidation, because germany

hadn't lost an opening match at a world cup since 1982. when they get into these tournaments, the germans just turn into this machine. they are the reigning champions, as well. but all is not well with germany. they have only won one of their six international friendlies leading up to this tournament. they have been trying different formations, and from the very off, mexico were so much the better team. and when they took the lead through hirving lozano, they richly deserved it. loza no lozano, they richly deserved it. lozano is being tipped for great things. he is 23 years old, he has just held psv eindhoven win the dutch league. he is magnificent, the tea m dutch league. he is magnificent, the team are magnificent and the german head coach admitted afterwards that they just weren't at the races, really, and they were vulnerable, he said they had got to bounce back and they need to put it all behind them. but those mexican fans in absolute dreamland, as you might imagine. and

the bbc caught up with a few of them afterwards. translation: it was a great match, a spectacular goal by lozano. happy mexico. we want more! yester! mexico played really, really good, with the lot of hart, like we say in mexico, sol good, with the lot of hart, like we say in mexico, so i think we will be champions. like, all of the world, come on! mexico! so very differing emotions, as you might imagine. have a look at some of those german fans 110w. a look at some of those german fans now. they are not used to it, some of them not even born the last time they lost an opening match of the world cup, going back to what the head coach said, their last 20 minutes they were all over mexico, pushing for that equaliser. they hit the post, they had a couple of good saves, some scrambles. lewis says they were jinxed, they will be much better next time. the other two

teams in theirgroup, better next time. the other two teams in their group, sweden and south korea, they are no pushovers at all. so could we be seeing the unthinkable? germany, the reigning champions, not getting out of a group? remember, that happened to spain at the last world cup. now, quite unlike germany, you said they have been losing the last couple of games they played recently, but brazil actually only had one loss out of 21 matches. there was the return of neymar, so expectations we re return of neymar, so expectations were high that the zeal could banish those really painful memories at the hands of germany. 7—1semi—final defeat on homestyle four years ago, so defeat on homestyle four years ago, so tell us about the disappointment at —— home soil. so tell us about the disappointment at -- home soil. yes, you would expect brazil to hit the ground running here in russia. neymar, their star running here in russia. neymar, theirstar man, running here in russia. neymar, their star man, back. running here in russia. neymar, theirstar man, back. he had running here in russia. neymar, their star man, back. he had that broken foot, he broke his back at the last world cup, had that broken foot a few months ago but he has been scoring in the pretournament

friendly, so he was their leading the line. and they took the lead against switzerland. coutinho, the barcelona forward, wonderful strike for him. he scored so many like it outside the box, curling his right foot into the top right—hand corner. but switzerland, you know, they are ranked in the top ten in the world, and they have only lost once in last 22. perhaps brazil sort of overlooked that, and zuba with a header equalised on the night in rostov, and the brazil coach, he said there was definitely a foul in there, it wasn't a good goalfor the swiss, so they have drawn that. so what that means in group b is that serbia are on top of the group on their sunday night in moscow —— group e. that is after their match against costa rica. they won that 1-0. against costa rica. they won that 1—0. alexander kolarov, that was an

excellent kick as well, so serbia top of that group. now that has blown wide open after what happened to brazil, just as germany's group is wide open as well. this world cup is wide open as well. this world cup is turning into one of the most unpredictable, and in it, that way, one of the most wonderful as well because we just do not know what is going to happen. so roll on monday. we will get more on the world cup a little later on newsday. before that, let's take a look at some of the day's other news. the first lady of the united states, melania trump, has called for an end to the policy of separating parents and children in families illegally entering the country from mexico. in a statement, her spokesperson said mrs trump hates seeing children separated from their parents, and hopes both sides can reach a successful immigration reform. it also said she believes in a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart. this rare intervention by mrs trump is likely to fuel a growing political row over the separations, as our correspondent in washington, chris buckler, explains. when you look at today, the

democrats have been done at the border, talking to people and looking at the immigration facilities, and they say what is being done is not humane. they say that zero tolerance makes zero cents, and they have found an unlikely back at in president trump's own wife, the first lady, melania trump, because she has released a statement that does chime with some of what president trump has been saying, in that she wants immigration reform that involves a compromise between republicans and democrats. but she goes further than that. in that, she says we need to bea that. in that, she says we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that govern sweetheart. and those final six words, a country that governs with heart, does suggest that she feels that perhaps this policy is not thinking about families, and is not

particularly kind to children. also making news today: the taliban have said they are ending a ceasefire which was agreed with the afghan government to coincide with the eid festival. they say the truce will end on sunday evening, despite afghanistan's president, ashraf ghani, unilaterally offering to extend the ceasefire, which was due to end on wednesday, by another ten days, though afghan security forces will be allowed to return fire if they come under attack. at least 20 people have been injured ina gun at least 20 people have been injured in a gun attack in an in the american state of newjersey. 0ne in a gun attack in an in the american state of newjersey. one of the suspects were shot dead, another attacker is in custody, and a teenager in a critical condition. the wife of a cambodian prince and former prime minister has been killed in a car accident. princess 0uk phalla was travelling with her husband, prince norodom ranariddh, when they were involved in a head—on collision with a taxi. the prince is seriously injured but is expected to recover.

he is half—brother to the current king, and leads a political party that is contesting next month's general election. this video of an electric car on fire in los angeles has prompted its manufacturer, tesla, to launch an investigation. the footage was filmed by the actress mary mccormack, whose husband had pulled to the side of the road after two passers—by alerted him to the flames coming from his vehicle. no—one was hurt, but it is not yet known what caused the car to catch fire. now to europe, and a boat that has found itself at the centre of an international row over migration has finally been allowed to dock. the aquarius, which rescued more than 600 african migrants from the mediterranean, has arrived in spain. earlier, italy and malta had refused to let it dock, forcing the ship on a long journey. damian grammaticas reports. from the aquarius, the first sight

this morning of spain. its week—long odyssey 1,000 miles across the mediterranean atan end. finally in valencia was a port prepared to welcome the ship. it was a moment ofjoy for those on board. they had been rescued from the seas off libya, but because of them, italy and malta had turned the aquarius away. 0nly spain stepped in, saying countries should provide those in distress a safe haven. by taking in this boat, spain's new socialist government wants to show that a new type of migration policy for europe is possible, one where you can both control your borders and respect human rights. italy did provide two coastguard vessels to help the aquarius transport the 630 people to spain. but it was valencia's mayor who offered the ship sanctuary,

and so defused a crisis for europe. he describes the rejection by italy and malta of those rescued at sea as inhumane. translation: they don't respect human rights. they are decisions that don't respect international agreements about which ports to use after a rescue, and these are decisions which, if we allow them to happen, would turn the mediterranean sea into a mass grave. the people who spain took in today, seeking refuge or opportunity in europe, are from more than two dozen countries. among their number, 80 women and 100 children, some making the risky journey with families, but many unaccompanied. spain will now give them all free medical care and a 45—day permit to stay while they lodge asylum claims. but italy says it will continue to prevent all private rescue boats from using its ports. right—wing ivan duque hasjust won

the colombian fiercely contested presidency, beating ex—guerrilla gustavo petro. this is the first election since the historic peace deal with farc rebels. colombians had a stark choice between the business—friendly ivan duque, a newcomer to politics, and leftist gustavo petro. katy watson has been watching the count in bogota. 99.5% of the vote has been counted, and ivan duque has nearly 54% of the vote, with petro at 42%. this is a clear win for ivan duque. he is expected to come out on stage and celebrate that win. he is another right—wing president in a politically conservative country, but mr petro put up a good fight. it is the first time that left president has done so well. it seems that since the peace deal in 2016 left—wing politics has become a bit

more acceptable, with the less violence associated with it. they have done enough, certainly, to win the presidency today. what does it mean for that peace agreement? because ivan duque has had some strong feelings about it. he has set along the campaign that he wants to make changes, especially when it comes tojustice. make changes, especially when it comes to justice. there make changes, especially when it comes tojustice. there is make changes, especially when it comes to justice. there is a feeling here in colombia that the former guerillas were... they were too lenient with former guerillas. they we re lenient with former guerillas. they were allowed to return to politics. he wants to make sure victims are thought about a bit more. that is what he says. they will be discussions about how much you can roll back, and certainly in colombia no one wants to move back, they want to move forward. there is a divided over how they do that and looking to address the concerns of the victims has been a big part of this debate in the campaign. you are watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: addicted to games. the world health organization recognises gaming disorder as a medical condition.

the world's first woman cosmonaut. what do you think of the russian woman in space? i think it's a wonderful achievement and i think we might be able to persuade the wife, it would be a good idea, if i could, to get her to go up there for a little while. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. i'm kasia madera in london. our top stories: day four of the world cup. the title—holders, germany, have suffered a shock defeat in their first match against mexico. she "hates to see children separated from theirfamilies." america's first lady has spoken out about a controversial practice at the us border. take a look at this street in taiwan, and also this view, which appears to be the same street, but it's actually a miniature model, created in perfect detail by artist hank cheng. he's also made models of his own childhood bedroom, and claims that if he doesn't show anything lifesize,

of the diet for the people of hong kong. it's long been seen as a healthy food. but the recent discovery that tiny particles of plastic waste floating around in the sea are now contaminating fish has thrown that into question. 0ur correspondent, stephen mcdonell, went to find out what effect it was having on what hong kong's residents are eating. it makes me question... it makes me question... i have started to eat less and less seafood, especially fish. in hong kong, people of

cooking up seafood and fish. it is an integral part of living in the city. now it seems they could also be eating something else when they bite into theirfish, little bits of plastic. hong kong is a densely populated city. we are super close to the ocean. everything we have been using asa ocean. everything we have been using as a relatively high potential to go into the ocean, the river, or a training system. here at the beach, you do not have to be a brilliant scientist to see the nature of the problem, all of this plastic rubbish is going back out into the ocean. it is going back out into the ocean. it is not just magically is going back out into the ocean. it

is notjust magically disappearing, smallerfish are is notjust magically disappearing, smaller fish are eating it, is notjust magically disappearing, smallerfish are eating it, bigger fish are eating them, and around and around it goes on the food chain. we are also very concerned about this, so we are are also very concerned about this, so we are doing studies and extending options. so, i have heard about the research, now, do i trust that fish? i know some people will think i would just see the plastic and avoid it. the trouble is, some of it is so small as to not be visible to the naked

eye, so you might be seeing invisible pieces of plastic without even knowing about it. —— eating. gaming has become one of the most popular pasttimes, but it seems it may not be good for everyone. for the first time, the world health organisation has acknowledged a medical condition, which it is calling gaming disorder. it's creating guidelines for diagnosing people who have developed problems, including addiction, based around electronic games. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, reports. you could be fighting dragons or you could be taking out a terrorist force, anything you want to do, save a princess or become a blue hedgehog running at the speed of sound. it's crazy. starwars and gaming, and you put them into the one thing and it's absolutely amazing how you can be any character. you can be a stormtrooper, you can be a rebel, and you can be absolutely anything and do whatever you want, and you can change your character. from angry birds and candy crush to the latest craze, fortnite, industry figures suggest over 37 million britons have

played an electronic game in the past six months. whether on pcs, consoles or mobiles, digital technology has made games widely accessible and generally cheap. and for some, it's notjust a form of entertainment, but a lucrative career. by building a vast following on social media platforms, some gamers can make millions of pounds annually. 0n sites such as twitch, hundreds of gamers live—stream their experience, often while talking live to their followers. i've got some ideas in my head, i've got some ideas. it's a digital universe largely beyond the view of many parents. there are professional players out there now. under the pseudonym tommyt999, ross thompson is building a brand and following. how do people make money these days out of gaming? the basics are just kind of like the ad revenue that you receive from your videos or your content, and then you've got the likes of sponsorships, donations from kind of like the community, then there's also opportunities to have deals with brands. but for some, gaming can become a distraction and an addiction.

australian, neil robertson, became snooker world champion in 2010, but away from the green cloth he immersed himself in gaming. the thing is you don't realise it's 12 or 1a hours, you know, itjust goes, like boom, the blink of an eye. i was heavily addicted, i've no doubt about that. i denied it for many years, saying i really need it when i travel away, it's so important, whereas i wasn't sort of really confronting the real issue itself. now, the world health organization has created a new classification. gaming disorderfor digital or video gaming now officially has three characteristics. impaired control in gaming, prioritising gaming over other interests and daily activities, and an escalation in gaming despite the negative consequences. to be diagnosed, such behaviour needs to be of sufficient severity for at least a year.

the royal college of psychiatrists says while there is no epidemic of gaming disorder, for a small number gaming can be a problem when online friendships become stronger and more real to them than real life ones. that's a crucial moment when the gamer begins to in a way overvalue the online activity, and i would say that soon afterfamilies begin to notice an absence and an emotional disconnect with the rest of the activities that once were so enjoyable. the gaming industry takes a different view. jo twist, the ceo of the games trade body, said we are concerned to see gaming disorder still contained in the latest version of the classification, despite significant opposition from the medical and scientific community. new technology means millions

of gamers are today immersing themselves in virtual worlds. most do so without causing harm to themselves or others, but for a growing number gaming is an addiction like any other. amol rajan, bbc news. you have been watching newsday. stay with us. and before we go, let's take a look at these pictures. the beautiful game. the excitement of mexico, celebrating victory over germany at the world cup. they lost all three previous meetings with germany. you can seejust all three previous meetings with germany. you can see just how much this win means to those fans who travelled all the way to moscow to support them. goodbye for now. after a fairly cloudy weekend, some
