6:33 pm
and speak to our sports editor, dan roan, ahead of england against belgium. dan, the big talking point, is that their are so many changes. ata at a combined 17 changes from the two managers? absolutely. both these teams have already qualified with two consecutive wins. qualification for the next stage of the world cup is not at stake here this evening. our cameraman will zoom in, because you can see england being put through their paces on the pitch before they get under way in 25 minutes against belgium. here is the team. onlyjordan pickford, john stones and ruben loftus—cheek keep their places in the starting line—up. so, jordan pickford, danny rose, john stones philjones, k
6:34 pm
hill, eric dier, jamie vardy, marcus rashford. the manager thinking he wa nts to rashford. the manager thinking he wants to preserve some of his front—line players for future battles. even harry kane is on the bench. the leading scorer in the tournament, the captain. he would wa nt to tournament, the captain. he would want to have started because he wa nts want to have started because he wants the chance for the golden boot. gareth southgate rings the changes. roberto martinez had made nine changes for belgium. that is what it tells you about this match, they can afford to lose, and maybe it is even better to lose. we can look at the team changes and think it is fabulous that some of those players who might not have thought they would get a game at the world cup, but is there are some extra thinking into this that if they lose some finish second, my word, and much easier path does open
6:35 pm
up word, and much easier path does open up at the world cup, despite what gareth southgate says. you are right. gareth southgate insisted that winning was better, maintaining the momentum, don't get too carried away with looking ahead. let's chew show you the route to the final if england were to get their if they finish top of this group by beating belgium this evening. they would play japan in the last belgium this evening. they would playjapan in the last 16. in the quarterfinals it would be switzerland or sweden. then russia, denmark, spain or croatia in the semifinals. that means that only two of the top ten teams in the world are on that side of the draw. let's switch to what would happen if england came runner—up in group g. it is tougher initially, then it gets easier. columbia first up, then
6:36 pm
the mighty brazil or mexico in the quarterfinals, then argentina, france or uruguay would await in the semifinals. you can see why some are saying not only can these teams afford to lose, it might be beneficial for them to lose. one word of caution, england haven't won a knockout game in a major tournament for 12 years, so for the fa ns to tournament for 12 years, so for the fans to start getting ahead of themselves and looking at their route to the final might seem to some a bit inappropriate but as you can hear, expectation is rising. the english fancy think there are going the way. dan, our sports editor in kaliningrad ahead of the match between belgium and england. you can listen to that on radio five live. let's get to the action.
6:37 pm
; needed to draw on all their strengths. the stands were packed with pride and passion, which filtered onto the pitch. sadio mane search the columbia, causing them all sorts of problems. have the video assistant referee not intervened he would won a penalty, but the referee changed his mind after watching replays. phil declared the tackle the best tackle of the tournament. the tottenham defender said columbia, but they needed someone to help them win to avoid them relying on other results. losing the last tournament's top scorerjames rodriguez was a bitter blow. a fully this man had brought his boots. he wouldn't have fared any worse than his countrymen. one word filtered through the pollen forbidding japan, the colombian fans celebrated as though their team had scored. that they could avoid any slip—ups, are draw would be enough
6:38 pm
for both sides to progress, but that wasn't the only ones senegal suffered. columbia didn't need a striker to ensure they would progress, the barcelona centre back yerry mina powered them through. senegal sent home thanks to the worst disciplinary record injapan, leaving the world cup about an african side in the last 16 since 1982. let's talk tojohn bennett, reporter who was there. let's start with senegal. tough on them. just a disciplinary record counting against them in the end. so heartbreaking for senegal. their manager, who has become a bit of a* at this world cup, put it all in perspective afterwards. he said we deserved to go through, but it is the laws of football, there is nothing we can do to change it. talking to some of the senegal journalists to change it. talking to some of the senegaljournalists here, they were
6:39 pm
saying, that is our game, it is very physical, we put strong tackles in and we will always pick up cards. they feel what has happened to them is unfair, to go out because they had a couple more yellow cards in japan, it does belong there. many of them will point not to this game, but the game on sunday against japan. twice they lead againstjapan and twice japan came back to equalise. that was the moment when senegal could have booked their place in the last 16. as it was, tonight they suffered a huge amount of bad luck and a good call from colombia by yerry mina. the colombian fans were chanting his name behind you when we spoke in the last hour. there were quarterfinalists four years ago, columbia. big questions overjames rodriguez. he was unfit coming into the world cup and limped off in this match. the colombian fans of course
6:40 pm
extremely happy to progress. for the last two hours it has been simply a party here outside the stadium. every fa n party here outside the stadium. every fan i spoke to was catching their confidence about how far they could get in this world cup by the fa ct could get in this world cup by the fact that james rodriguez could get in this world cup by the fact thatjames rodriguez came off with what looked like a recurrence of the calf injury he brought into this tournament. i imported is a? in his last seven world cup games before tonight, six goals and four assists. he is the heartbeat of the team. they struggle to break down senegal today. a really good goal but it came from a set piece. by james rodriguez, the do like a bit of creativity and i could really count against them in the next stage. england could await in the next stage, of course. the injury to james rodriguez are massive negative ona james rodriguez are massive negative on a brilliant night for columbia. to the other group game. japan were heading home when they went behind to poland in volgograd,
6:41 pm
but when columbia scored against senegal, a 1—0 defeat for the the blue samurai sees them take their place on the knockout round. rhia chohan reports. it was the bulger grad arena's final appearance of this tournament. japan had won their last two meetings with poland, but today all that was needed was a draw. after a heavy defeat to columbia, poland had nothing to play for but pride. but good at polish sword stand on the way of the blues samurais? the game took a while to pick up. perhaps the 36 degrees heat in volgograd was to blame for the sluggish pace. you should newry have the first great strike, saved by lukasz fabianski, but it was this in the second half that threaten to send japan night. japan still had a chance to go
6:42 pm
through because they had fewer yellow card than senegal. the game slowed down even more, almost farcical. it is change from a board game toa farcical. it is change from a board game to a strange game, hasn't it? hgppy game to a strange game, hasn't it? happy to play at the time, japan became the first side in the world cup to go through on fair play. a risky waiting game. a risky waiting game. so here's confirmation of how group h looks. columbia top with six points, japan second with four points, senegal third, also with four points. japan claim that second spot because they picked up fewer bookings than senegal. it is the first time progress has been decided by that. for now, let's
6:43 pm
head to the bbc‘s sports centre and holly. thanks, olly. we stay with football as england's record goal—scorer says goodbye to the premier league, as everton confirmed they've reached an agreement for wayne rooney tojoin mls side dc united. he'll officially complete his move when the us mid—season transfer windown opens in july. there's no transfer fee, but the deal is worth £10 million, meaning he becomes the highest paid player in dc united's history. he leaves the premier league as its second highest goal—scorer with 208 goals, bettered only by alan shearer. tennis and fresh from downing andy murray at eastbourne yesterday british number one kyle edmund is battling for a place in the semi final where he's facing mikhail kukushkin. it's the first time these two have ever met on court, but edmund battled back from a break down to take the opening set 7—5. kukushkin of kazakhstan

6:46 pm
saying, they don't want to fight me. all you have to do is sign, and sort out those to comment that said were minuscule and everybody is happy. right now, joshua has to focus on arguably the toughest fight of his career so arguably the toughest fight of his career so far and the obvious banana skin that could even disrupt the undisputed fight. eddie hearn speaking during a press conference for another of his clients earlier, amir khan, who announced he's set to make his second appearance of 2018 against colombia 5 samuel second appearance of 2018 the former unified world champion stepped back into the ring for the first time in two years back in april, when he knocked out canadian phil logreco in just 39 seconds. his comeback will continue at the birmingham arena in september and the 31—year—old says he's happy to be back in the ring again so soon. i'm not taking this fight likely —— lightly. i need to win it in such a
6:47 pm
good style that the boxing world will know i am back with the big bang. i'm not herejust to get equipped with an ankle one. i want to wina equipped with an ankle one. i want to win a world title again, but, world champion again. that's what's in my eyes. that's what's in my eyes. triple paralympic champion ollie hynd was left devastated when he was told he would have to be reclassified due to new ipc rules introduced earlier this year. it forced him to miss the commonwealth games this year and left him considering his future in swimming. despite the decision being overturned this week, the 23—year—old says the episode left him in a very "low place." charlie slater has been to meet him. triple paralympic champion ollie hynd was left devastated it felt like everything had been taken away from me. if you are not ina great taken away from me. if you are not in a great mental space, that can be a really dangerous place to be. ollie hynd had been a shining light of paralympic sport. he has won the
6:48 pm
lot and been an exemplary athlete and, just like that, his world came crashing down. there has been a fair amount of controversy around reclassification and the committee has said they want to look at everybody and just check that they are in the right categories. ollie hynd was one, the defending commonwealth champion, who got reclassified and isn't racing here. we we re reclassified and isn't racing here. we were due to be classified in copenhagen, which was about six weeks before the commonwealth games. we went to copenhagen expecting that everything would be the same and as it has been for eight years of my career, but unfortunately, i went through the process and i was reclassified to an s nines, which meant i would be swimming against less impaired swimmers. temp two has neuromuscular myopathy, it is a degenerative condition that will not
6:49 pm
improve. the decision by the ipc knocked him for six. there were days when i didn't want to get out of bed, ididn‘t when i didn't want to get out of bed, i didn't really want to be around people. iappreciate bed, i didn't really want to be around people. i appreciate that classification is a really, really difficult thing and it is difficult to get right and i appreciate that there has to be a system in place so that everyone is on a level playing field, but there needs to be i guess policies in place, whether it is from the governing bodies that support the athletes. the ipc has said it is constantly striving to improve the experience for athletes through experiences like this. ollie knight faces reclassification again. these things make you stronger and i'm determined to come back, whether it is i'm determined to come back, whether itiss i'm determined to come back, whether it is s nine. i have realised that things can be taken away from you in a heartbeat so enjoy it while it is
6:50 pm
there, take opportunities while you can. i will give it everything for the next two years and whatever will be will be. i am fully determined to give it another go because i am here to win gold medals still. from one lead to another, let's go back to moscow were ollie foster is there for us. what is the latest? we are looking ahead to the match in kaliningrad then the path will be set. we will know who is playing who in the last 16. so many fantastic matches to look forward to. france against argentina kicks things off. another match we are looking forward to is on monday, mexico against brazil. tomorrow is mexico's day of the dead national holiday and they have so much to celebrate as they played a big part in locking germany
6:51 pm
out of this world cup. what about their coach? yesterday, mexico'sjuan carlos osorio steered his team into the knock—out stages — but much of his early years were actually spent as a student in england — liverpool in fact where he lived just outside the melwood training base. from there, the columbian‘s career took him to manchester city, the united states and brazil — but as richard askam reports it was his time in liverpool that set him on his way in the game. mexico have the lead! a colombian steering mexico's success. juan carlos osorio is one of the outstanding cultures of the world cup, but his door into football management owes a lot to the window that overlooks liverpool's training ground. the bed went across the window there and he would like and definitely saw anybody night with any definitely saw anybody night with a ny clear definitely saw anybody night with any clear he would be right up. we
6:52 pm
had a great admiration for gerard houllier. juan carlos came to the city to complete a ph.d. alice part of that watched everton train but could not get the same access to liverpool. the next best thing was the view from the mcmanus‘s upstairs window, and they kindly agreed to let him move in. he was lovely, just a gentleman, slotted right in. he just warmed to him, and that is the way he got on with everyone. while he was here he got to know people at liverpool, everton, but united. 20 yea rs later liverpool, everton, but united. 20 years later it is a friendship that remains as strong as years later it is a friendship that remains as strong as ever, as years later it is a friendship that remains as strong as ever, as this call from tom shows just before the start of the world cup. hey, they're an excavation might you taught me everything! look he is here? hi, mary! the family, all staunch evertonians, by the way, remember trips to the pub to watch the ball
6:53 pm
as an education. he would sit down, get his pen site. you would concentrate on the game. he would ta ke concentrate on the game. he would take copious notes as he watched the game. that was one of the christmas is here. one carlos has also spent a number of christmases with the mcmanus family and dobson whenever he can. the last time was just a couple of months ago.|j he can. the last time was just a couple of months ago. i recognise that voice! he storms in, where is everybody?! he just comes in like a whirlwind, you know? at mexico continued to go down a storm in russia, you can be sure of the mcmanus family will be looking on with great pride. we are so proud of him. that sums it up. fantastic stuff. some mexico's success in part made in liverpool. when i said it was the mexican day of the dead
6:54 pm
national holiday tomorrow, i mean that mexico house, a big fan festival place for the mexican fans to do their thing, they are holding an mini day of the dead festival and holiday tomorrow, which should be fun. which should be fun. well, many fans around the world are still in shock at germany's dismal exit from the tournament yesterday. the defeat against south korea shocked everyone. former captain lothar mathaus said it was no less than they deserved. everybody makes mistakes. it starts from the coach, to the players. many players did not perform well. i think we missed the team spirit. everything that was good four years ago in brazil was going bad in russia. for this, the team is now on the plane on the way to germany and
6:55 pm
i think this is what they have to get out of this weak performance that they had during the world cup. let's back to the match in kaliningrad. england are singing the national anthem right now. what if you are english and you are in belgium? now, it's a tricky time to be english in belgium so spare a thought perhaps for theresa may. she's there for a meeting of european leaders and belgium's prime minister, charles michel, decided to present her with a gift — an eden hazard shirt. she took the gesture in good humour. not sure who most of the heads of state will be rooting for! i'm sure they all want to keep england in, rather than going out! kick off in the next few minutes. lots of changes for england and belgium. 17 in all. we thought we
6:56 pm
would leave you this evening with a bit of a golden memory from italia 90, the last time england play belgium at a world cup. it was david platt's goal that put england through to the quarterfinals. it is goodbye for now. chipped in and volley down! it is there by david flats! england have done it in the last minute of extra time! temperatures have once again been soaring across the country. no change for tomorrow. another hot day on the way. this is what it is looking like this evening.
6:57 pm
temperatures still in the mid—20s in the lowlands of scotland at ten o'clock at night. that doesn't happen very often in this part of the world. tonight, it will turn cloudy again, particularly on the north sea coasts, we will see temperatures between 8—11d. tomorrow sta rts temperatures between 8—11d. tomorrow starts fairly cloudy across the eastern counties, then the sun will once again. temperatures will rocket through the day out west and north, but though the south—eastern parts of the country will remain quite a bit cooler. we are talking around the high teens in newcastle, 21 in norwich, but still in the high 20s in many western and northern areas. the hot weather is here to stay across the southern half of the uk, but in the north it is turning that little bit less hot. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me.
6:58 pm
you're watching beyond one hundred days. a watershed moment for the european union, the german chancellor says europe's response to the migrant crisis will determine the union's fate. it is a highly charged debate, deep enough to make brexit a secondary issue at this two day summit. at home angela merkel is under severe pressure. unless they agree a common migration plan at this summit, her interior minister is threatening to close germany's border. but there are also deep concerns over worsening relations with the united states. at midnight the eu reciprocates, imposing new tarrifs on a whole list of american imports. meanwhile, theresa may has been pointing to some successes in the brexit
6:59 pm
negotiations, but at dinner tonight she will be pressed to get on with it. time, says the eu, is not on her side.
