moscow later in the hour on bbc news, we will look ahead to the completed quarterfinal line—up in russia. good evening. england havejust beaten colombia in the last few minutes ina beaten colombia in the last few minutes in a dramatic penalty shoot out to secure themselves a place in the world cup quarterfinals. eric dier scored the winning penalty. england had been winning the match until colombia equalised in the dying minutes of injury time to force extra time and penalties. our sports editor dan roan has been watching the action in the spartak stadium in moscow. it has always felt like a defining
10:02 pm
moment for english football. manager gareth southgate had described it as the biggest match they have played for a decade. in truth, it felt like the most important game for a lot longer than that because of the context, england being in the doldrums for so many years and failing at major tournaments but also because of the event potential prize on offer with the draw opening up prize on offer with the draw opening upfor prize on offer with the draw opening up for them. never again perhaps would they have such a great opportunity to progress through the torment and make the final. they we re torment and make the final. they were the top ranked team in their side of the draw but that added pressure to this young side. tonight they would find outjust pressure to this young side. tonight they would find out just what they are made of. if ever there was a time for england to carve their own piece of history, it was now. the opportunity here in moscow monumental. but with their fans far outnumbered and their opponents dangerous, little seemed certain other than tension. with the team that began the english world cup restored, the chance was there to
10:03 pm
keep the dream alive, he in a stadium that was basically bogota. england started brightly. harry kane in search of a sixth goal of the competition. colombia living dangerously, wilmar barrios fortu nate to dangerously, wilmar barrios fortunate to stay on the pitch after this on jordan henderson. fortunate to stay on the pitch after this onjordan henderson. the needle continuing as the players walked off before half—time. england have been a handful at corners this tournament and so it proved once again, harry kane manhandled by carlos sanchez. once the prolonged protests past, there was only one man taking the penalty. harry kane, bang. this is how much it meant to be captain, as england took what they thought was a vital step towards the quarterfinals. now this young side had to show what they were made of. but just as it seemed they had to show what they were made of. butjust as it seemed they had hung on and with three minutes of injury time left, came desperate colombia's last gasp sucker punch. yerry mina's towering header rescuing his team to ta ke towering header rescuing his team to take it to extra time. england
10:04 pm
cruelly denied at the death. never had manager gareth southgate's words carried so much weight, but while his team responded well be goal they craved wouldn't come. danny rose's effort in the second period of extra time the closest they would got. this was to be decided in the way england's dread, penalties. the reason they dread them is because england are the worst team in the world officially when it comes to penalty shoot outs, but perhaps not any longer because england goalkeeperjordan pickford any longer because england goalkeeper jordan pickford with any longer because england goalkeeperjordan pickford with a heroic save that meant it all went down to eric dier, the tottenham hotspur midfielder with england's last penalty. both sides had missed one coming he kept his nerve, stepped up, and as you can see, he made no mistake with a decisive penalty. england winning 4—3 on penalties after the game ended after extra time 1—1. england had to dig so extra time 1—1. england had to dig so deep having conceded a last—gasp equaliser by colombia. they had all
10:05 pm
the momentum. it felt like a home match for colombia with very few england fancier. tonight, as we said earlier, we discovered how much metal this young england team had. it was hard to assess them coming into this match. they had won their first two games against pretty average opposition in tunisia and panama, but it was a weakened team against belgium. this was the first real challenge for the front—line players who had plenty of rest, were injury free. they thought they had enoughin injury free. they thought they had enough in normal time, but conceded. in the past you can't help but feel england's teams would have folded, it would have been too much to withhold, but when it mattered, england held their nerve and it will be the coming of age for players likejordan be the coming of age for players like jordan pickford and be the coming of age for players likejordan pickford and eric dier. and now it gets really exciting because they know they will play sweden in the quarterfinals, a match they can definitely win, no reason they can definitely win, no reason they can't. and then it will be either russia or croatia in the semifinals with a place in the world
10:06 pm
cupfinal... yes, semifinals with a place in the world cup final... yes, that's right... at sta ke. cup final... yes, that's right... at stake. never before have england had a better chance of going all the way to the world cup final. a fantastic testa m e nt to to the world cup final. a fantastic testament to these players and manager gareth southgate, who you saw in the report urging his players on when normal time finished, asking them to dig deep. they were the better tea m them to dig deep. they were the better team in extra time as well, unlucky not to get a winner. so many times in the past england have failed at penalty shoot outs, so world cup after world cup... but this time the hoodoo has been broken. dan roan in moscow, thank you. the result has caused wild celebrations around the country. our correspondent chi chi izundu watched the game with fans in brighton. on brighton beach they watched into the setting sun. they lined the streets and the promenade to watch chance after chance after chance. the first half came and went, the
10:07 pm
air still heavy with tension. until... king kane. cheering from a ballet class in surrey to the cast of the royal opera house during the interval, england stopped to watch. and in the dying moments of injury time, came disappointment. groans from crowd 1-1 groans from crowd 1—1 after extra time, and then to penalties. jubilation, pandemonium and purejoy, penalties. jubilation, pandemonium and pure joy, the penalties. jubilation, pandemonium and purejoy, the penalty curse finally broken. studio: england now face sweden on saturday. tonight's other main story now and a woman who worked at the countess of chester hospital
10:08 pm
has been arrested on suspicion of murdering eight babies and attempting to murder another six. the healthcare worker was held as part of a long—running investigation into the high number of baby deaths in the neo natal unit at the hospital. police have not said if the arrested woman was a nurse oi’ doctor, but they have said that they're now widening their investigation to look at the deaths of other babies there. judith moritz reports. hospital managers called in the police, because they could not explain the unusual number of baby deaths and near death emergencies on the neonatal unit. now, the police investigation has been extended, focusing on what happened to 32 babies between early 2015 and the middle of the following year. this morning, a woman who is described as a health care professional, was arrested on suspicion of murdering eight babies and trying to kill another six. forensic searches began at a house in chester, which police have confirmed is related to their enquiry. a car was also searched and items taken away for examination.
10:09 pm
neighbours on the same street woke up to the scene. i got up to go to work about eight and they were all... the police were all there and i did not see many people, but they were there. and i came back about half 11 and there was more activity going on. i didn't know until we drove down this morning and saw the police cars. saw the police cordon and an unusual number of police cars, the forensic vans, and obviously it was something very, very serious. at the hospital, the medical director said that asking the police to look into this was not something we did lightly, but we need to do everything we can to understand what has happened here and get the answers we and the families so desperately want. in 2015, the countess of chester hospital had the highest number of neonatal deaths out of 43 trusts of a similar size. it stopped providing care for very premature infants injuly, 2016. now, it only looks after babies born
10:10 pm
after 32 weeks of pregnancy. managers say they are confident that the unit is safe to continue. the police say that they recognise the impact their investigation will now be having on staff and patients here, but most especially on the families of babies who died. the bbc has spoken to solicitors of two of the families who say they are reassured that the investigation is continuing and they hope it will provide the answers they so desperately wants. whoa judith moritz, thank you. rescuers in thailand are trying to work out how to free 12 boys and their football coach from the flooded caves where they've been trapped for more than 10 days. divers have been searching the complex cave network, in northern thailand, working in difficult conditions. where some sections are said to be too narrow for even scuba tanks to be worn. two british divers eventually found the children yesterday,
10:11 pm
stranded on a ledge nearly one kilometre — or half a mile underground. but there's no easy way to get them out. they will either have to learn to swim out using diving equipment or stay there for weeks — maybe months — until the floodwaters recede. our correspondent, jonathan head is there. there is a renewed sense of mission here now. for the first time in ten days, they know where the boys are and they know they are alive. a constant flow of divers moves in and out of the caves. they are stockpiling equipment and food supplies underground, preparing for what could be a long and difficult rescue. the boys were all members of a football team, coached by noppa rat ka nthawong. it was his assistant who went with them that day. translation: in my heart, all i could think about, for the last nine days, was, is there any way, anyone,
10:12 pm
who can somehow get those guys out? it fell to two british cave divers to find them. how many of you? 13? brilliant. this extraordinary video captures the momentjohn volanthen and rick stanton saw the missing children perched on a muddy ledge above the water. they left them, promising more help. we are coming. it's ok. many people are coming. we are the first. many people come. today, the children were visited by thai navy divers and had their first food and medical treatment. they are said to be in surprisingly good health. the two british men are among the world's most experienced and daring cave divers, a highly specialised field. in 2004, they made a record—breaking exploration into wookie hole in somerset, reaching new depths. their friend and photographer,
10:13 pm
martin farr, talked about their achievement in thailand. do you know what i feel? emotional about it now. but then, wow. you think, this is fantastic. those boys have had a hard nine, ten days underground. and now they have got the best guys there. so, john and rick, you know, they are calm, they are very collected. they are very organised, extremely disciplined and consummate professionals. it is not clear yet how the boys can be brought out. the thai authorities are pumping as much water as they can from the caves. but more rain is on the way. and jonathan joins us from outside the cave network in northern thailand now. are they making any progress on how
10:14 pm
they can get these children out? not that we have heard. they have got a real dilemma on their hands because, as you know, how difficult it was to get to the boys, the most advanced diving experts in the world struggle to get there. no one is taking on the idea of bringing these still very hungry and sikh boys back through narrow tunnels, who have had no diving experience and some of them cannot even swim, likely. it will be an enormous challenge. we are at the start of the rainy season, are at the start of the rainy season, so are at the start of the rainy season, so the mountain could absorb more water levels, and the water levels could rise to a point where they can't stay where they are. they are trying ideas like full face masks, easier to wearfor are trying ideas like full face masks, easier to wear for beginners. they are not yet at a decision. i think they will explore both options. they are putting large amounts of food down there in case they are stuck down a long time. they are also bringing in equipment and planning to train them in diving
10:15 pm
in case they have to bring them out quickly. at this stage we do not know which way the authorities will go and they can't know until the boys recover and they build up their strength. a man known as nick, who alleged there was a paedophile ring at the heart of westminster, has been charged with perverting the course of justice. his claims led to an 18 month inquiry by the met police which was closed without anyone being charged. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, is outside scotland yard. june, what more can you tell us? the allegations made by this man, nick, led to a £2.5 million investigation at scotland yard and initially the head of that enquiry described his claims as credible and true. nick claimed that when he was younger he was the victim of an alleged paedophile ring and he named alleged paedophile ring and he named a prominent figures and under investigation, was the former chief of the defence staff, lord bramble,
10:16 pm
lord brittan, who served as a cabinet minister and a former mp, harvey proctor. no one was charged and lord britain did not live long enough to know he would not face charges. now nick has been charged and he is facing 12 counts are perverting the course ofjustice, making false allegations and falsely claiming compensation. thank you. a quick look at some of tonight's other stories.. more than two thirds of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people avoid holding hands in public — that's according to a survey of more than 100 thousand people. the government's produced a 75—point plan to improve the lives of lgbt people in response to the survey. the bbc has improved its gender pay gap, reducing the average from 10.7 percent down to 8.4 percent. the representation of women in senior leadership has also marginally improved, according to new figures. it follows months of criticism following last year's salary disclosures. the corporation says it hopes to eradicate the gender pay gap completely by 2020. the number of people dying as a result of taking drugs
10:17 pm
in scotland is at its highest since records began more than 20 years ago. new figures show that there were 934 drug related deaths in 2017, that's an increase of 8 per cent on the previous year. the number of deaths caused by drugs has more than doubled since 2007. our scotland editor sarah smith has this report. used needles and fixing gear — the sharp end of a drug epidemic. scots are now five times more likely to die from drugs than in a road traffic accident. and glasgow is the worst. if you want to understand the scale of the drug problem in glasgow, just come down here. we're right in the middle of the city centre, and yet you can see all of the paraphernalia that shows just how many people are down here shooting up every day. heroin is cheap, plentiful and often contaminated. do you worry about overdosing?
10:18 pm
no. so when you're taking heroin, do you sometimes not care whether or not it kills you? no, i don't care. don't care. nobody round abouts me cares either. that's desperate. i know it's desperate, so what on earth can i do? 18 people a week are dying in scotland. so most drug users know people who have died. derek's flatmate overdosed four months ago. found him in his bed, still in the same position i'd left him in in the morning. he was completely blue, you know what i mean? it wasn't a nice sight to ever see. so you actually found him dead from a drug overdose? ifound him, yeah, yeah. it was a horrid, horrid thing to see, and i've seen people die and that, but never seen anybody... it's really horrid to see a friend like that. anybody can die from drugs. even myself, when i tend to take them. but i try to stay away from them, but it's hard.
10:19 pm
the scottish government promised a new drug strategy months ago. they admit that current services are not meeting the extensive need. that's why we are determined to look at how our strategy is currently working and where it's failing to deliver for individuals and make changes. graham bigley, a father of three, is one of the 934 people who died last year. he overdosed on heroin. his aunt tries to help bereaved families overcome the stigma that other people attach to drug deaths. he's an addict, they're worthless anyway. so they don't matter. but they do matter, because he's a dad. he's a son, he's a nephew. so he does matter. without a new, radical strategy, the fear is that drug deaths in scotland will continue to increase. a terrible problem getting even worse. sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. the prime minister's revised plan
10:20 pm
for post—brexit customs arrangements has begun to circulate among ministers and officials. it's the latest attempt to reach a compromise in the cabinet, which remains deeply divided ahead of friday's crucial meeting at chequers — theresa may's country retreat. but details of the plan have already been dismissed by prominent brexiteers. our deputy political editor, john pienaar is in westminister, john... well, theresa may's latest plan will not please ha rd—line well, theresa may's latest plan will not please hard—line brexiteer ministers or mps who are suspicious of what they call, brexit in name only. the plan as i understand that would mean seeking a single market deal but it would not be called that on trade and goods and farm products and animal products and food as well. that would eliminate border checks and tariffs and extra
10:21 pm
bureaucracy but it would mean sticking to eu laws and standards, recognising the authority of the european court in some form and perhaps allowing preferential access to eu citizens wanting to come to this country. there would be freedom to go out, for britain to go out and seek trade deals around the world and it would—be tariff refunds when the terms were agreed with the countries. that is the plan, but will it fly? will brexiteer cabinet ministers seek to change the plan now and in the days leading to the special cabinet meeting at chequers on friday? will it simply be dismissed out of hand by brussels? questions still remain but for now on either side of this debate, it has now become a test of nerve. thank you. the death of a nine year old girl in london 5 years ago may
10:22 pm
be linked to illegally high levels of air pollution — according to new evidence revealed to the bbc. ella kissi—debrah lived right next to a main road in south london. she died after an asthma attack in 2013. air pollution is believed to contribute to 40,000 deaths in the uk every year but no direct link has ever been made with an individual case. now lawyers are asking for her inquest to be reopened. claire marshall reports. and another says bear! this is ella playing with her mum's phone. she coughs. this little cough, an early sign. a few months later she was rushed to hospital unable to breathe. she had developed acute asthma. she suffered three years of repeated attacks before dying at the age of nine. ella lived just 25 metres from the south circular, one of the most polluted roads in london. her brother also has asthma. the family now walks to school along quieter roads. at the time, rosamund wasn't told about the dangers of air pollution.
10:23 pm
before she passed away, i probably resuscitated her between 20 and 30 times. yes, you know they are breathing it in, but you really do not know what damage it is doing. you don't know until it's happened. she wasn't born with asthma. revealed exclusively to the bbc today is medical evidence that could result in air pollution going on a death certificate for the first time. exhaust fumes contain harmful particles and chemicals such as nitrogen dioxide. according to professor stephen holgate's expert report, there was a striking association between ella's emergency hospital admissions and recorded spikes in air pollution. he said there was the real prospect that without unlawful levels of air pollution, ella would not have died. the air that everyone's breathing here, whether they are walking around or in their cars, is so polluted that it breaks european union laws. and it was this bad for the whole period that ella was ill. human rights lawyerjocelyn cockburn
10:24 pm
is appealing to the attorney general to reopen the inquest into ella's death. the uk needs to start complying with the law. this case, i hope, is another piece of the puzzle which will push the government towards decisive action. inspired by ella, community volunteers close to where she died in south—east london are now gathering as much data as they can. we'll just leave that there for 2—4 weeks, and then we'll send it off to the laboratory. it's shocking, you know. i walk my kids along here everyday to school, and i'm just conscious all the time that they are breathing this in. my son has got asthma. i've got asthma. something needs to be done about it. during ella's lifetime, no one made the link between her asthma and air pollution. the attorney general is now reviewing the new evidence. claire marshall, bbc news, south—east london. there are not enough people
10:25 pm
with disabilities working as doctors because of ‘unacceptable barriers' in training and that needs to change — according to the general medical council. it says only 3 percent of doctors have a declared disability, compared to 20 percent of people nationally. nikki fox has been to meet two doctors with the same disability. at st george's hospital there is an emergency on the ward. hannah is one of the first to get there. she has got ehlers—danlos syndrome, which means she has got chronic pain and dislocates easily. as a junior doctor, she has got this far partly thanks to a string of great bosses who have been open to the idea of flexible working and making a few adjustments. a lot of the time, you don't really know what you're going to need in place until you try doing the job and it is like, ok, i cannot reach that or there are stairs up to that. i think most impracticalities, if you work them out as you go, and that does rely on your team
10:26 pm
to be quite supportive and quite understanding. there aren't that many disabled doctors like hannah and in fact it is estimated that there are around 3%, a figure the general medical council wants to improve, but it is notjust about getting those numbers up, it is about the experience many doctors have and they are not all as positive as hannah's. kelly has the exact same disability as hannah, but she has had a much tougher time of it. you can tell in consultations that people are questioning you based on the fact that they can see that you are in a wheelchair. kelly had to spend time out of training because she could not find a placement she could physically access and has struggled to get a job as a salaried gp, because she is unable to do home visits. she feels the extra support she has needed to help with her disability just has not been there. after years of going through without support, for the response to be, i am sorry, there isn't anybody, it really does make you feel let down.
10:27 pm
it really does. if you look about, you can say, yeah, there is probably more we can do, but what we are trying to do is change that conversation now and actually, if we are more open in the first place to recruiting disabled people to become doctors, then we can start to see what can be achieved. now a new consultation will seek views from across the medical profession. it is hoped tapping disabled talent will help reduce the shortfall of doctors and improve the experiences for patients who themselves have a disability. nikki fox, bbc news. the royal airforce officially celebrates its centenary next week with a service at westminster abbey, and a huge fly—past over buckingham palace. 100 aircraft will take part in the biggest display ever seen over the capital. and today was their final rehearsal in the skies over lincolnshire, as i've been finding out. they've been planning this for months.
10:28 pm
today, raf cranwell in lincolnshire stood in for buckingham palace, as some of the aircraft taking part in the fly—past next tuesday carried out their final preparations. right, that's on. g—pants on. the biggest formation will be the typhoons. 22 fastjet pilots will be taking to the skies, and they took me along as they practised. this has never been done before. we've never put this many typhoons into the same piece of sky, especially not for a fly—past over london. we're really excited about it. we've practised for this for a long time. we've prepared, the plans are all in place. the typhoons will be just one element of this huge fly—past. but theirjob will be one of the trickiest to accomplish. precision and timing will be everything. to keep their formation a surprise, we headed out over the north sea. as these jets roar over buckingham palace, the royalfamily
10:29 pm
will be watching from the balcony. the mall will be packed with thousands of people, there to see dozens of aircraft spanning much of the raf‘s history. if they can pull it off, it will be quite a sight. that was extraordinary, being up there with so many typhoons. have you ever seen anything like it? no, never. 27 years of serving in her majesty's royal air force, i've never flown in a formation that big before. but on the day, station commander mike baulkwill won't be flying the typhoon. he has chosen history over speed, opting to fly one of the last world war ii hurricanes. it's old school navigation in this. there's no gps. it's a map and stopwatch. it's full—on for all of us, but it will be good fun. he will be flying wing—to—wing with spitfires, a lancaster and a dakota in what will be the raf‘s centrepiece for its centenary year. the biggest fly—past london has ever seen. and that fly—past will be take place next tuesday at 1pm.
10:30 pm
there'll be full coverage on the bbc. let's go back to moscow after a night of extraordinary drama. england are through to the world cup quarter finals. dan roan is there. sophie, for so long as england's record when it comes to penalties has been something of a joke with six shoot out defeats stretching back to 1990 in major tournaments. tonight, finale that run came to an end. here is the skipper, harry kane. so proud of the lads. we had to dig deep, we were so unlucky to concede that last—minute goal. we we re concede that last—minute goal. we were hit too hard
