where colombia beat senegal to reach the last 16. japan are also through. good evening. a london—based nurse has become the first british national to be convicted for modern slavery offences committed outside the uk. 51—year—old josephine iyamu has been found guilty of five counts of trafficking nigerian women to germany to work as prostitutes. she subjected them to ritualistic ceremonies before trafficking them and forced them to swear oaths to hand over money to her. fiona bruce has been speaking to one of her victims. josephine iyamu the moment she was arrested at heathrow airport in 2016. she was leading a double life — an agency nurse in hospitals

in london, but also a trafficker of girls for sex. known by her victims as madame sandra, she lived in bermondsey but also owned this house in benin city in nigeria, impossible to afford on just a nurse's salary. she was also a local politician there, ironically pledging to fight for women's rights. josephine iyamu was a calculated individual who used her status as a rich, influential lady in nigeria to traffic and exploit these women. one of the girls she trafficked into europe, we're calling her kiki, was just 21 when she left her baby behind and was taken to germany. she promised me that when i came to germany she would take care of me. i will not want for anything. she'll always be there for me. kiki met iyamu, or madame sandra, in benin city, the epicentre of trafficking of girls in nigeria, enticed to risk the dangerous crossing to europe by poverty

and by lies they're told about the success of girls who've gone before them. kiki worked in this brothel, sleeping with up to 15 men every day, with madame sandra constantly pressurising her for money. so, what was daily life like for you in germany? it was not easy. i always start from two o'clock in the afternoon to six o'clock in the morning. she will call me to say she needed money. she doesn't know if i have enough to eat. she does not care about me. she only wants money, money. back in nigeria, kiki was told she would have to pay back 38,000 euros to get to europe. she had no idea how much that was and that it meant she would become a slave. i thought it was a small sum of money but when i got here i realised it was very big. kiki was trapped. she was told she had to pay it back 1000 euros a month. that was on top of her

rent for a single room. i had to pay 120 euros rent every day, but if i didn't work, i didn't have the money to pay. you had to pay how much? 120 euros a day? yes. that is a lot. every day. you'd have had to earn over 50,000 euros a year, which is about £43,000 a year. i mean, that's a huge amount of money. you'd never have been able to pay it back. i have to pay it. if not, they said i had to go, so i'll have nowhere to stay. josephine iyamu's sentence will be handed down at a later date. but what about kiki's future? she'd like to stay in germany. 0nce you'd finished working for madame sandra, what were your hopes for life in germany? that i could train as a hairdresser. and you'd like to do that in germany? that's what i would like to do. but she may not get the chance. kiki may well be deported back home. and, after all she's been through,

back to where she started — living in poverty in nigeria with only dreams of a better life. fiona bruce, bbc news. one of the first firefighters to enter grenfell tower has been describing the moment he realised the blaze was spreading outside the building. charles batterbee thought he'd extinguished the flames in the flat where it started. but when he looked outside, he said it "rained fire" as burning debris fell from the building. tom symonds reports from the grenfell tower inquiry. his report contains images of the fire which some may find distressing. early morning on the 14th ofjune 20 17. firefighters charles batterbee and daniel brown, loaded with gay, are heading up grenfell tower. the fire is just are heading up grenfell tower. the fire isjust a glow in are heading up grenfell tower. the fire is just a glow in the kitchen window of flat 16. —— loaded with

gear. it was black with smoke. then they briefly opened the kitchen door to blast water at the fire. charles batterbee said it was unprecedented. when that initial water went in, the change in temperature that hits me, i've never experienced anything like that in training or operationally. really? yeah. they put it out, but then he looked out of the window. really? yeah. they put it out, but then he looked out of the windowm just rained fire. it isjumping multiple floors, notjust one or two windows and frames that have failed. it's lots, and it was getting worse. the cladding. daniel brown went to fight the flames. i'm hanging onto danny by the strap, he's got a hose, which weighs a lot, and he's got a hose outside the window. he's lent right outside that window and i'm

holding on for dear and digging my hips into the counter so that we don't both go together, and i've got my left hand on my radio and, whilst he was hitting it, it was getting worse. low on air for their breathing gear, they finally retreated. i looked up at the side of the tower and... i'll never get over that shock. it was like a war zone, he said. within two hours, the advice to stay put had been abandoned. callers were now being advised to get out, if they could. but we didn't stop, we kept on with oui’ but we didn't stop, we kept on with our efforts. yeah, so... and it wasn't the first fire to spread up the outside of a tower. lakanal

house, 2009. daniel brown said that despite that the training for high—rise fires wasn't great. he'll give more evidence to the grenfell tower enquiry tomorrow. british intelligence agents knew about and tolerated hundreds of cases in which prisoners were tortured or mistreated by the americans or other allies after 9/11, according to a new report by mps. the intelligence and security committee said it was "beyond doubt" that the uk knew about us behaviour, and it described the americans' treatment of detainees as "inexcusable". 0ur security correspondent, gordon corera, joins me now. gordon, this report sounds really damning. i think it's one of the most damning reports we've ever seen from the oversight body that holds britain's spiced account. the context was after 9/11, when there was huge pressure to gather intelligence and prevent more attacks, and it was clear that, for the us, the gloves came off but

britain was slow to realise what its closest ally was doing, even as some british officers reported from the field what they were seeing. but also i think this report reveals they were more complicit in some of these activities than we previously understood. in 13 cases, they witnessed mistreatment, in two cases, they were party to it. in hundreds of cases, they were providing questions when they suspected somebody was being mistreated and in some cases they offered to pa pal mistreated and in some cases they offered to papal rendition. that is when you fly a detainee to another country with the expectation they may be mistreated. —— they offered to pay for rendition. but the oversight committee felt they didn't get to the bottom of it, because they were not allowed to question some of the intelligence officers directly involved, only the heads of the agencies were allowed to speak to them, and that has led to calls from campaign groups and the former justice secretary, ken clarke, for a judge let enquiry to look at this. around 100 soldiers have arrived

in greater manchester to help firefighters tackle a moorland blaze that has been burning for four days. fire brigade leaders say they fear it could last for weeks because of the continuing hot weather. the troops from the 11th battalion, royal regiment of scotland have been helping put out the flames. there are seven square miles of moorland near saddleworth which have been smouldering with pockets of fire since sunday. judith moritz reports. in the battle between blaze and firefighter, there isn't yet a winner. belching and burning, fire has overwhelmed this land, but the effort has just stepped up. has overwhelmed this land, but the effort hasjust stepped up. more boots on the ground. the army arrived this morning tojoin boots on the ground. the army arrived this morning to join the fight. troops given masks, handed hoses and put straight to work. we got 60 guys split across the area, working with the pious avis —— fire service at a ratio of four to one. it's a warm day but we are well

prepared with enough water and sun cream and guys prepared with enough water and sun cream and guys are prepared with enough water and sun cream and guys are enjoying the job. to getan cream and guys are enjoying the job. to get an idea of the scale of the task, took a ride to the top of the moor with a crew from bolton. it's very difficult, because it's clearly hot conditions, very smoky conditions, and up where we are right on top of the hill, the water supply is very limited. these firefighters are making continual journeys from ground level to take water to pumps higher up. this really is the fire front line. it's very hot up here, and you can see how smoky it is, and getting water to this level is like bringing buckets up a hillside on an industrial scale. this scene is repeated across this more land. —— moorland. it's one of six places where they are fighting the fire. there is help from the air, too. with no rain forecast, this is the

next best thing, helicopters dumping water collected from nearby reservoirs. water collected from nearby reservoirs . ci’ews water collected from nearby reservoirs. crews have also come from as far as gloucestershire, with specialist equipment to cope with the peat puling these fires. fire gets deep inside it and they might call off the surface but it travels through the peat. they have a high pressure jet which gets deep within the peat. they will work until nightfall and be back again at first light, using everything in their power, both high—tech and low, to beat this fire for good. this evening, as the fire continues to burn on that piece of moorland behind me and the crews carry on working in high temperatures, a fresh challenge in the last couple of hours, news of a fire right on the other side of greater manchester, windsor hill north of bolton, where 60 firefighters from manchester and lancashire are tackling a new blaze. for a city

which has a reputation for being very rainy day across greater manchester this evening, frankly, they are praying for a downpour. thank you, judith. our top story this evening: a british nurse is found guilty of trafficking nigerian women. it's a legal first for such a crime committed outside the uk. coming up, i'll be live in kaliningrad, where england take on belgium in less than an hour, looking for their third successive world cup win. coming up in the next 15 minutes on bbc news, i will be live in moscow with sportsday and a full round—up from the world cup including japan's progress to the knockout round despite their defeat to poland, and it could be england next. england are preparing for theirfinal group game in the world cup, as they take on belgium this evening.

both sides are already through to the knock—out stage. but a defeat for england, which would mean them finishing second in their group, could mean an easier route through the competition. 0ur sports editor, dan roan, is in kaliningrad. as you say, both england and belgium have won their opening two matches in russia 2018, so qualification for the next round is not on the line here in kaliningrad this evening. that explains why both sides have rung the changes, eight for england, including the tournament leading goal—scorer and five, england captain harry kane, who is rested. he starts from the bench. nine changes for belgium is both managers look to preserve their players for future battles down the line. having said that, this day matters. both teams are tied on points and goal difference, so what happens here this evening will determine their future world cup campaigns. the crunch match in kaliningrad had

turned into something of a carnival. with their teams already safely through to the next round, both sets of fans could enjoy the party safe in the knowledge their world cups would not end here. but while the tension has lifted, so has expectation. there is no team we should fear, we should go all the way. i think they could quite easily go to the wire. we've got the momentum, with the belief. it's something england hasn't had in the past. why not? we can win this world cup. just 30 miles from the polish border, this russian conclave was pinpointed as a potential flash point, with dfa selling out its ticket allocation for the first time in the tournament, but the atmosphere here has pleased the authorities. so far the planning and preparation has gone really well and i think it's important to stress this has been to years of cooperation and planning with the russian authorities, particularly on the police to police links that are working and proving themselves really well. with two wins out of two including this record victory of the panama on sunday, england

manager gareth southgate has urged his team to maintain momentum and the players certainly aren't getting carried away. if you look too far ahead you can get in trouble in football so i think the best thing for us to do is focus on one game at a time and i think that's what we are doing. england now know that if they top group g they will face japan in the next round after they qualified despite being beaten today by poland. but then it gets tougher, the might of brazil could wait in the quarterfinals with heavyweights like france, portugal and argentina in the semi. four of the world's top teams lurking in this side of the draw. but if england finish runner—up in the group, they will play colombia who beat senegal this afternoon in samarra. the route to the final then appears easier, with a quarterfinal against switzerland or sweden, and beatable teams among the potential semifinal opponents. the players arrived here tonight knowing this was a game they could afford to lose, but in a world cup of surprises,

predicting anything beyond that is a dangerous game. here, excited england fans have been gathering all afternoon to watch tonight's game. sima kotecha is in walsall in the west midlands at a cricket club which has sold hundreds of tickets. yes, it is getting louder and busier here. there is plenty of excitement here. there is plenty of excitement here this evening but also a sense of trepidation. they are facing a tough team this evening. you can hear them celebrating. you might not believe it but they are slightly nervous. i had some fans saying to meet belgium is a tough team, can they actually do it as jamaat and this conversation about england doing better. if they don't win tonight and face an easy aside, that's not what these fans are rooting for. they want england to win and continue with the momentum

it is already established. the kick—off is at 7pm, not long to go and these fans can't wait. theresa may — who's in brussels for the latest eu summit — has said both the uk and the eu want to work towards a brexit deal "at a faster pace". she's due to brief eu leaders over dinner on the progress of talks. but, for the other 27 members, it's migration not brexit, that's their main focus, with germany's leader warning it could be a make or break issue for the eu. 0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg, reports. everyone's talking. buongiorno, tutti, buon lavoro. but is anyone really listening? it's the eighth time theresa may's had to walk this summit red carpet. but the cabinet at home still at odds over how life outside the eu should be. the prime minister arrives here knowing very well she has to move faster. both sides are keen to continue that work at a faster pace than we have done up till now. and certainly we would welcome that.

but can you really say it is going well when two years on you have european leaders saying britain has to get its act together? at every stage, last december and in march, we have come to agreements with the european union on the issues on which we discussed and agreed we will be talking about. now, we will be bringing the cabinet together within the next week. she hopes so, but with so many cabinet disputes at home, do they really believe she can up the speed? i do understand that it is difficult to come to agreements within her cabinet and within the uk parliament, but she has to. the problem is, to whom should we listen? are you worried about the lack of progress on brexit? yes. why? i don't have to lecture theresa may, but i would like britain to make clear their positions. we cannot go on to live with a split cabinet. they have to say what they want and we respond to that. and hear this

from the leader who is closest to the brexit problem that's hardest to solve. we're two years telling people that it can't be cherry picking. it can't be cake and eat it. so it needs to understand that we're a union of 27 member states, 500 million people. we have laws and rules and principles and they can't be changed for any one country, even a great country like britain. and any relationship that exists in the future between the eu and the uk isn't going to be one of absolute equals. 0uch. this is not a friendly competition. a lot more than world cup football strips are up for grabs. the future of our trade, migration, the irish border — it's all up for discussion, but not today. the eu has bigger problems on their mind with the migration crisis. yet the union does not want to budge. they believe they have the stronger game. it feels familiar now for theresa may to arrive here in brussels and be told, "get on with it," by her fellow european leaders. remember, this was meant to be the summit

when the deal was nearly there. that's far from a situation. time is now running short. the prime minister says she's optimistic that the uk is lonely and frustrated in the brussels routine. she needs to make a deal with her colleagues at home to find more useful friends around the eu table. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. as we heard earlier, for european leaders the real focus of the summit is what to do about migration. 0ur europe editor katya adler is in brussels. angela merkel has suggested this could be the beginning of the unravelling of the eu — could it? you would think that eurosceptics would quite like the idea of the unravelling of the european union but it is the passionate europhiles like angela merkel and the french

president emmanuel macron who are sounding alarm bells. they know that the european union won't crumble overnight but they want to shock squabbling eu leaders to work better together. you will remember the height of the migrant crisis in 2015 when so many height of the migrant crisis in 2015 when so many were height of the migrant crisis in 2015 when so many were crossing fields and motorways. since then eu leaders have made a good show of european disunity rather than working together. you have had split between the poorer countries like italy and greece where most migrant boats are arriving, and the richer countries like germany and sweden where most migrants want to end up. right now in this summer, the number of arrivals by smuggler those is very much down. but it continues to rage, it will be an uncomfortable discussion. angela merkel is more at risk of political demise short—term.

he says she has to come back from the summit with workable eu solutions or will start pushing back migrants from germany's borders. thank you. the duke of cambridge has visited some ofjerusalem's most sacred religious sites on the final day of his tour of the middle east. prince william spent time at the temple mount and the western wall, where he followed the tradition of placing a prayer in a crack in the wall. he also paid a visit to the final resting place of his great—grandmother, princess alice. it's been a scorcher of a day. all four nations of the uk have hit 30 degrees celsius for the first time in five years. 0ur scotland correspondent is on the firth of clyde for us. yes, this open—air swimming pool looks like it's been one of the busiest destinations in scotland today. just

looking across to the hills of argyle on the other side of the forth people have been enjoying these temperatures. glasgowjust down the coast from where i am was 31.6, a little bit below wales, and it is unlikely to reach the record temperature for scotland set in 1893, but no doubt the people here are not too worried about that. just hoping the sun will last until the weekend. james, thank you. it's always been described as the caring profession, but how much have things changed in nursing since the birth of the nhs? 88—year—old ethel armstrong began her nursing career as a cadet back in 19118. she met up with 20—year—old grace stephenson, who started her nurse training in london last year. the women swapped stories of the nhs past and present during a visit to county durham and darlington nhs foundation trust. what was your first day like?

0njuly 5th 19118, i walked through the oak doors with shiny shoes. you were very much a newcomer, and felt very alone as a student. you know you were very much regarded as a gofer. you know, you do this, you do all the jobs that nobody else wanted to do. what was your first day like, grace? i walked in to a welcoming ward that was nurse—led, that had lots of nurses who had all been in my place. what kind of thing would you have worn on your first day? did you still have a uniform? yes, yes. you had a uniform and that uniform was inspected before you actually went in to any of the rooms. i think the uniform is still very important. very important. it still identifies you. but i think that the uniform has gone through an awful lot of changes. yeah, yeah.

and this kind of idea that now we work with a lot of, like, infection control teams. we got rid of the buckles for uniforms, and now it's reallyjust... in most places, it'sjust a tunic and trousers. yes. what was the relationship like with doctors? you were very lucky if they even acknowledged that you existed. as you got more senior, they might ask your opinion. but nine times out of ten, it had to be led by the consultant. what is the most exciting thing that you've seen in technology since you've been...? i think that the way that we use technology to find earlier signs of things i think is incredible. there were no ultrasounds, no scanning techniques. your equipment went into your pocket, and that was a pen, and your notebook and a steel ruler. if you could give me any piece of advice, what advice would you give me

going into the future? stay thirsty. and drink in whatever is offered to you. you can never collect too much when it comes for caring for a patient. that's what my life has been about for 70 years. that's former nhs nurse ethel armstrong speaking to trainee nurse grace stephenson. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. another glorious day, it's almost becoming routine. it is, but i'm sure this heat is taking its toll on some people. it was the hottest day of the year so far, 33 degrees here in the north—west of wales. a very colourful picture the north—east coast of england, temperatures not quite so high here but a lovely evening in store. more cloud

developing in the north sea and that will push inland on the breeze from the east across central and eastern england but also the north—east of scotla nd england but also the north—east of scotland where temperatures will be lower and more comfortable for sleeping. where you start grey and misty, those temperatures will be slower to rise but we should see the cloud turning off and retreating back to the north sea coast. there will be at greater risk of keeping some of that cloud from time to time. elsewhere you can see the heat, temperatures highest of all further west. in northern ireland reaching 30 degrees, so too west wales. we still have high pressure this weekend, that's what is bringing this dry and hot, sunny weather. we could see some rain later in the week around biscay pushing to the south—west but generally speaking we are still

drawing ourairfrom generally speaking we are still drawing our airfrom the near continent and that will keep the heat going across most parts of the uk. saturday if you are up early, a bit grey and misty but it shouldn't be long before that breaks up and it is wall—to—wall sunshine. temperatures widely into the high 20s. the winds will be stronger for the second half of the weekend and we have a chance of a shower perhaps to the south—west and wales, but most to the south—west and wales, but m ost pla ces to the south—west and wales, but most places will be dry and sunny. thank you. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me.
