on bbc radio 5 live. in the other quarter—final, russia versus croatia kicks off at 7pm, with highlights on bbc one 10:25 tonight. theresa may appears to have faced down hardline critics of the european union in her cabinet to secure an agreement that will keep the uk closely aligned to brussels after brexit. the deal was struck at the end of 12 hours of talks at the prime minister's country residence, chequers. some leave supporters regard the plans as a sell out. with more details, here's our political correspondent, chris mason. you know you've had a long day when it's midsummer and when you set off home from work, it's dark. this was chequers, the prime minister's retreat in buckinghamshire

late last night. cabinet ministers met for 12 hours to discuss brexit and they agreed on a plan. a few hours before, at dusk, the reason may set out her proposals. we set out the collective position. the proposal will create a uk—eu free trade area which establishes a common rule book on industrial goods and agricultural products. this will maintain high standards but we will make ensure that no changes can take place without the approval of our parliament. as a result, we will avoid friction in trade, that will protectjobs and livelihoods, and also meet our commitment to northern ireland. the prime minister wants to see a facilitated customs arrangement that would remove the need for customs checks as if in a combined customs territory. freedom of movement will come to an end. and the government wants to be able to secure free trade deals with countries around the globe. but already, some leave supporters regard the plans as a sellout, fearing the uk will remain too close to the eu after brexit. and then there's the matter of how all of this goes down

with brussels. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. the thai boys who have been trapped in a cave for two weeks have written letters to their parents, saying "don't worry, we are all strong." the group's handwritten notes include requests for different types of food, and appeals not to be given lots of homework. in another letter, their coach, who took them into the complex, has apologised to their parents. let's talk to our correspondent, sophie long, who's at the rescue site. shejoins us live. she joins us live. what is the latest? we can joke about the letters, but this is a serious situation. it is. really sweet m essa 9 es situation. it is. really sweet messages from the boys last night. but time is critical. overnight we heard they connected an air pipe to make the equality better. oxygen

levels were dropping yesterday. they have been accompanied by navy seals and doctors and nurses which is bringing down the oxygen levels. the big fear at the moment is heavy rainfall is on its way. if that happens, water could rush in to the cave and push up levels. the worst case scenario is the boys are cut off again to be many things are happening to make sure it does not happen. dams have been built around the mountain to divert water. if that happens, the governor of the province says they do have an emergency plan in place to get the boys and their coach out of the caves if the water levels start rising quickly again. but the only way out of the cave at the moment is the way they came in. many of these boys cannot swim and none of them have diving experience. just as a reminder of how dangerous this operation can be, we had tragic news

yesterday a former navy seal, a very experienced diver, he lost his life try to make the treacherous journey back out of the cave having delivered oxygen to the boys. i think they do not want to move them at the moment but the conditions could soon change, which might force them to moving them. thank you very much indeed. live from thailand. a five hour journey one much indeed. live from thailand. a five hourjourney one way. a huge operation. police investigating the latest nerve agent poisoning in wiltshire say they've begun examining more than 1,300 hours of cctv footage. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess remain in a critical condition in hospital, after being taken ill a week ago. investigators believe the couple may have handled a contaminated object. members of a global team of researchers say they've reached an important milestone in the quest to design a vaccine that could protect people from hiv.

the trial, which appears in thejournal, "the lancet," involved 400 people. scientists acknowledge there are still huge challenges to overcome but say they are cautiously hopeful. almost all wildflower meadows in the uk have been lost since the 19305, according to conservationists. they say that the survival of nearly 1,400 species of insects that rely on meadow plants is at risk because of the decline. the department for rural affairs says it's committed to protecting wildlife as part of a 25—year plan. back to the world cup. the bar very between english and swedish rapporteur legends has ta ken between english and swedish rapporteur legends has taken social media. —— rivalry. zlatan ibrahimovic has sent this to his

english counterpart, david beckham. and david beckham replied. he said "when" england wins. .. and david beckham replied. he said "when" england wins... with all of the money of zlatan, do you think he has any ikea furniture? it was around nine o'clock last night when theresa may emerged from her all—day cabinet meeting at chequers, to say they'd agreed a brexit blueprint. the prime minister says that the uk has a new offer to put to european union negotiators. but it seems that it won't be the clean break that many brexiteers had argued for. let's get the thoughts of the liberal democrat leader sir vince cable, who supports remain, and the conservative mp nigel evans, who backed brexit. good morning to both of you. thank you for taking the time to talk to us. you for taking the time to talk to

us. vince cable, starting with you. certainty and agreement among the cabinet. this is what you have been asking for. it is a temporary truce in the ward of the cabinet and conservative party. —— war. i believe this is a temporary fudge. david davis said this plan is unworkable. that is the brexit secretary himself. if i engaged in conspiracy theories i would believe the brexiteers signed up to it knowing perfectly well it would not be accepted by the eu. it is a brave attempt by the prime minister to get some sort of consensus. but there are so many some sort of consensus. but there are so many flaws in the proposal i suspect it will not get much further. sticking to the theme before the deal. nigel, talking about the state of the cabinet and theissue about the state of the cabinet and the issue of unity so largely criticised, is this now the end of

the rebellions? it has to be because pa rt the rebellions? it has to be because part of the deal that was reached last night was a great from the prime minister, theresa may, that if any in the cabinet step out of the line of collective responsibility, which is they all now agree to what was decided last night, they are out. that is a clear change in emphasis from the prime minister. she said the cabinet up until now have had the opportunity to say what they like, but last night was the crunch point for them to come together. and for me, as someone who supports brexit, i want to know what was said last night that made the infests a nd was said last night that made the infests and seven, borisjohnson and six of his chums who met the day before in the foreign office who have there own view about what the brexit deal should look like, that they have signed up to this. i need to know what was said. i will have that opportunity this morning when backbench conservative mps meet at downing street to meet the chief whip to put questions about the

detail we have yet to come onto. are you happy with what you heard so far about the deal, nigel?|j you happy with what you heard so far about the deal, nigel? i will be cheering louder the england tonight than the deal so far, but the devil is in the detail. i need to know what we will be able to do. independent trade deals with the us and america, it covers all aspects, it has to be comprehensive. and what about people from the eu coming into the uk, will we have the absolute ability to limit how many people come onto our shore? that is absolutely controlling our borders. as far as paying money into the eu, we have now been told as part of this deal that we will no longer be paying billions into the market when we have an £80 billion deficit. how much will we pay? lots of questions need to be answered. a huge step

board. vince cable is right. it is all over to michel barnier. this is all over to michel barnier. this is a spoke british deal. up until now, he said he will not accept that. —— bespoke. we will have to wait and see exactly what the view of brussels is going to be. i know we have the white paper coming out next week where we will have more detail on the bones of the skeleton that emerged last night, but we will. i suspect vince cable is more happier than i am today that is for certain. is that true? not especially. not particularly, it will leave the country in a fudge with an unsatisfactory brexit but nigel will be disappointed in the other brexiteers because his first point was a belief in a special trade deal with america. i have doubts about whether there is much in it anyway. one of the key points in the agreement as i understand it is we

retain european food standards, and the americans are keen to change these and use chlorinated chicken, beef hormones, gm foods and the rest of it so on one of the fundamental point is the brexiteers have been looking for, they're going to be seriously disappointed and conflict will break out again in the conservative party. that's one of the questions i want answered today, which is absolutely pertinent to the ability to do a comprehensive trade deal, would we have the ability to import whatever we decide to from the us food wise into the uk, as long as rules of origin are applied, so long as rules of origin are applied, so then we don't pass that food on to any of the eu 27? it is questions like that, that's where the detail lies. the detail will come but we needed a starting point, the public needed a starting point, the public needed a starting point, the public needed a starting point, a firm plan. vince cable, you're aware of how difficult it can be to get rebels, so to speak, to agree. how tricky do you

think this might have been? apologies to our viewers, we seem to have had some problems with technical issues. those gremlins! a shame, that was really interesting. we will try to get them back later. vince cable and nigel evans, the conservative party and the liberal democrats talking to us earlier about that deal that's been reached at chequers after a 12 hour meeting with the cabinet. theresa may saying she has a united cabinet at least with a brexit plan to put forward. but don't step out of and again! they both looked quite stoney faced with the freeze —— out of line. they both looked quite stoney faced with the freeze -- out of line. lots of people have plans today, lots of it revolving around the football, dragging a big tv into the garden to watch it. it will be quite hot again? that's the way to do it. hot and sunny against p more of the same.

more starts to the day like this, which came in from a weather watcher in east yorks —— again. more hot sunshine for the rest of the weekend. all because of high pressure, oui’ weekend. all because of high pressure, ourfamiliarfriend, parked across the top of the country. underneath this, like winds today and lots of sunshine. mist and murk around in some places, especially for irish sea coast of wales, the south—west and the north—west as well and through the day, more cloud generally towards the far north west of scotland and western northern ireland, producing maybe some drizzle. this is how it looks at 3pm, from aberdeen to edinburgh to glasgow, lots of sunshine with temperatures into the mid—20s across wales and of course, england, where there will be plenty of football watching going on no doubt. highs of 31 or 32. the small chance of a shower in the south—east but most places will be fine, dry and sunny. we dived underneath the clouds in russia to look at the

forecast for samarra. overhead, patchy cloud but blue sky peak in through as well. temperatures around the kick—off, around 26 or 27. sunny skies. —— peking. a bit hot for the players. at wimbledon it will be hotter. highs of 30 or 31 with some patchy cloud in the sky, good spells of sunshine as well. the small chance of a shower, as i mentioned, in the south—east of england through the late afternoon but essentially this evening, plenty of sunshine. overnight, dry with clear skies. misty with western clothes. then we bring in this cloud in north—west scotla nd bring in this cloud in north—west scotland and northern ireland —— western coasts. ahead of it, humid air, temperatures overnight, 13 to 18. behind the frontal system as it edges its way in through tomorrow, we begin to get cooler air, only across the far north—west of the country, parts of north—west scotla nd country, parts of north—west scotland and northern ireland. this

band of cloud, you can hardly see any rain on it. another largely sunny day. patchy cloud, sunny spells. deep orange colours, those temperatures up to 30 for the likes of magister and birmingham. maybe 31 01’ of magister and birmingham. maybe 31 or 32 of magister and birmingham. maybe 31 or32 in of magister and birmingham. maybe 31 or 32 in london —— manchester. the cooler air will sink further south as we go on through the coming weeks. in cardiff and london, temperatures dipping a bit, but we keep hold of the sunshine and dry weather. little changing over the next few days, very little change for the foreseeable future actually. thanks very much, ben. we have managed to get vince cable and nigel evans back with us from college green. thanks for hanging around, gentlemen. sorry about those technical problems. good to get a final thought moving forward. what do you expect to happen next now theresa may is presenting a unified

cabinet? well, clearly, as i think we both ee, well, clearly, as i think we both agree, this has got to go forward to the european union. part of the problem is the proposition that's been put forward, it may well have temporary cabinet unity, but the brexit secratary himself has described it as an workable. it's difficult to see how the european union is going to accept an arrangement that is unworkable —— it's an workable. it does nothing for the 80% of the economy which is services. it provides a sticking point for the passage of goods. it isa point for the passage of goods. it is a fudge, nobody is happy. nigel is a fudge, nobody is happy. nigel is expressing the frustrations of the brexiteers, many people, like myself, who won close relations with the eu aren't happy either. theresa may has done her best but we have an

u nsatisfa ctory may has done her best but we have an unsatisfactory compromise by the sounds —— who want. nigel? you could call it miracle at chequers, the cabinet have come out with a unified line. that's good. we have briefings at downing street today and they will continue on monday for the mps that can't make today. the important thing at parliament is whether there's a majority to back this particular deal. luck, if borisjohnson supports it, david davis and liam fox and some of the others who are parched brexiteers within the cabinet, at least will give it a fairwind and cabinet, at least will give it a fair wind and have a look at the detail as it emerges later today and through the next four days —— arch brexiteers. it has to get through the parliamentary challenges and michel barnier. a long way to go before this is accepted as it is, but lots of concessions appeared to have been made for those on the remain side and there's only so much brexiteers would take i believe. i hope this isn't the starting point

for a negotiation but an endpoint, and let's move on. it's about time we heard from michel barnier and the european union as to what is acceptable. gentlemen, away from brexit, another huge event today, the world cup. nigel, i know you are welsh, how will you be watching the world cup today? i will be watching it here and doing some domestic stuff in battersea at my brother's house, i will be watching it there. i'm a welshman but i will be screaming for an england victory today and my prediction is 2—0 to england. sur vince cable? i will be watching it and i think england but on penalties against white not penalties! thank you for the technical —— again. —— thank you for your time technical —— again. —— thank you for yourtime and technical —— again. —— thank you for your time and sorry for the chemical difficulties. the most abiding memory until

recently of gareth southgate would have been this moment. barry davies commentating as gareth failed to score in a penalty shootout against germany that saw england go out of euro 96 in the semifinals. but after the win on tuesday night against colombia, maybe, these will be the images that we will associate with a man who's been known as football's mr nice guy. a redemption story, 22 years in the making. there's a bromance going on there! mike's with someone who's known the england manager throughout that time. sartorially doffing his cap to gareth southgate as well? the southgate waistcoat, shirt and combination tie. in the queue outside wimbledon with someone who has been through thick and thin with gareth southgate, david davis, executive director of the fa when

gareth missed the penalty. what has made him the man he is today and eve ryo ne made him the man he is today and everyone is wearing a waistcoat in tribute of him. when i think about it, he has learned lessons, his own lessons from his own england experience. yes, in 96, as you referred to, but i think of the world cup of 2002 when he went to japan and didn't play. i look at pictures the other day of us paying a visit to a buddhist temple with a few players who weren't playing very much. david james was one and gareth southgate was another, he volunteered to come. he's also learned lessons from his own club experience. he's learned from other sports, by his own admission, and he's been the great beneficiary of that fantastic place at st george's park in staffordshire, which has changed the way football is developed in this country. we see him as an intelligent man, very calm and measured. but what is

he like, how angry can he get in the dressing room when it comes to really motivating those players? they all know... he has proved that nice guys do win. he's highly intelligent. he's not a rabble—rouser in my experience, although he is capable of it! by his owi'i although he is capable of it! by his own admission he will say, yes, everything is perceived to have gone well in this world cup, but actually certain things were bound not to have bombs so well behind—the—scenes. but the key thing is he learns from experience —— have gone so well. has confidence in his owi'i gone so well. has confidence in his own ability, which he has always had. i rememberahead of euro own ability, which he has always had. i remember ahead of euro 96 when we have the problems with the players off the pitch and the dentist's chair and the rest of it, coming back we had 22 players in the squad a week before the tournament

and only two would speak to the media. one was alan sugar and the other one was gareth southgate. he has learned the lessons we have learned. he has learned a key thing, he won the battle to develop and understand mental health and the issues of mental health —— alan shearer. you have players at the world cup, one is 19, another of whom is 32, 30 three. now, frankly, keeping those players concentrated oi'i keeping those players concentrated on the job in hand with relaxation ofan on the job in hand with relaxation of an unspecified period time, because you don't know how long you will be there for —— 32. because you don't know how long you will be there for -- 32. does he show it's not an impossiblejob, as we saw in that documentary, because he came through the under 21s?|j we saw in that documentary, because he came through the under 21s? i was involved in that programme, some believe it's not an impossible job but it's not a job for everyone. some managers by their own admission, kevin keegan was one, who said frankly, these long gaps

between games, it's not for me, i'd preferred to be a club manager. gareth, quite by chance, because of the events around south —— sam alla rdyce, the events around south —— sam allardyce, he has landed hisjob earlier than he would have expected in his career. he's had good fortune but he has this fantastic chance. i believe the football can come home but maybe via paris or brussels, and maybe, as greg dykes, it could be 2022 or 2026 for england realise their young potential. it's a great opportunity, but is it too soon for these youngsters? i agree, qatar, in 2022, in novemberand december, could be the big chance for the english. but as we found in 2002, with sven goran eriksson, england we nt with sven goran eriksson, england went to the quarter—final, took the lead against brazil and still lost. by lead against brazil and still lost. by 2006, we went to a quarter—final

against, lost on penalties, etc. you've got to take your chance when it comes. maybe this is the big chance. a prediction? i think we will win today. i suspect we will win on penalties. 0h, will win today. i suspect we will win on penalties. oh, no! get behind that armchair! who knows where we will be. russia or croatia. then we can dream, can't we? we can, david. thank you very much indeed. you haven't got a tent to pack away?” haven't. kyle edmund will be hoping it doesn't go to penalties because he might have to play around the same time, can he watch it with his swedish coach in charge? who knows. if they watch it they will certainly be bickering about it. we will be back with mike in about two minutes. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello. this is breakfast, with rogerjohnson and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: millions of people are expected to stop what they're doing this

afternoon, to watch england take on sweden in the world cup quarter—finals. manager, gareth southgate, says his players want to make history. if they win, a match against russia or croatia will be all that stands between them and the final. theresa may appears to have faced down hardline critics of the european union in her cabinet, to secure an agreement that will keep the uk closely aligned to brussels after brexit. in a letter to conservative mps last night, the prime minister said she expected full support from her ministers. some leave supporters regard the plans as a sell—out. the thai boys who have been trapped in a cave for two weeks have written letters to their parents, saying "don't worry, we are all strong." in another letter, their coach, who took them into the complex, has apologised to their parents. emergency workers have now set up an air supply line to the group. police investigating the latest nerve agent poisoning in wiltshire say they've begun examining more than 1,300 hours of cctv footage. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess remain in a critical condition in hospital, after being taken ill a week ago. investigators believe the couple may

have handled a contaminated object. members of a global team of researchers say they've reached an important milestone in the quest to design a vaccine that could protect people from hiv. the trial, which appears in the journal "the lancet," involved 400 people. scientists acknowledge there are still huge challenges to overcome but say they are cautiously hopeful. almost all wildflower meadows in the uk have been lost since the 19305, according to conservationists. they say that the survival of nearly 1,400 species of insects that rely on meadow plants is at risk because of the decline. the department for rural affairs says it's committed to protecting wildlife as part of a 25 year plan. back to the football.

could this one suggest that football is indeed coming home? this guide dog pup, vesta, seems to think so. the labrador puppy predicts an england win, as you can see it prefers the cross of st george over the flag of sweden. ido i do not think the puppy is the bad thing. ijust don't think it knows what's going on. if he goes with that, i am what's going on. if he goes with that, iam happy what's going on. if he goes with that, i am happy to go with it. you do not need to think about the football at all, mike. the puppy has told us england will win. what else is going on? so much is going on. yelling! you are not even swedish. i

am not. why are you dressed like this? it is my stag do. fantastic. you just joined the this? it is my stag do. fantastic. you justjoined the queue. i will let you join it. you have the vintage tennis racquet. are you confident you will notjinx the english result? i did not think about. if you get into the grounds at wimbledon, where will you watch the game? we will head off early and go back to the village then go back to the game later. and does he watched the match? kyle edmund, many fans. also talking about the football. people are guaranteed to get into court number two. the queue is moving. a great atmosphere.

hundreds camping out. you can see it all from the camera in the sky to be looked at the scale of it. the tents had to be packed up by 7am so eve ryo ne had to be packed up by 7am so everyone could formally get into queues. a fantastic scene and atmosphere to be it is actually hotter here i think than in samara today. 500 miles east of moscow. england are playing sweden at 3pm. that is where we can find our very own dan walker in samara. you probably cannot see it but i am wearing the gareth southgate waistcoat. i can see it. wearing the gareth southgate waistcoat. ican see it. iwondered if it was inspired by gareth southgate. we will hear from gareth soon. a gorgeous wimbledon morning

here as well. a massive match coming up here as well. a massive match coming up with england and sweden. trying to reach the semifinals of the world cup for the first time in 28 years. england fans cannot sleep. hopefully the players got a good sleep. they ta ke the players got a good sleep. they take on sweden in samara. you can watch it live on bbc one from three. first, gareth southgate. we came into this tournament has the least experienced team one of the teams in it, but we are an improving side and want to make a run history. and we have already... the first

knockout win in ten years. the first win ina knockout win in ten years. the first win in a penalty shootout, a first england. the highest number of goals scored in an individual game so we wa nt scored in an individual game so we want keep making history. that is gareth southgate speaking to former english player alex scott. just as excited this morning. sweden, they did really well qualified. they beat italy in a world cup play—off to get here. three clean sheets in this tournament already. defensively they are so compact and organised and ha rd to are so compact and organised and hard to break down. then i look at the players england have, dele alli, marcus rashford, harry kane, we need to use that ordination. from the previous game watching sweden, they allow you to have the channel. if we can do that with england, hopefully

harry kane is on the end of it as they crossed into the box. you make it sound so easy. people wanted you to do so well be does that make difference? it does. you have momentum behind you and the whole country behind you sparing you on. you do not want to let anyone down. and then the pressure, playing for england. but these guys, the england team, they are embracing the pressure. we want to see the emotion and the passion when you are wearing your national shirt. seeing england get past columbia on penalties, and just a reminder, that is the first time england ever won a world cup penalty shootout. they had been in three and failed every time. what difference does that make mentally for them? it could go to penalties again. this group is displaying confidence. not arrogance, confidence. not arrogance, confidence and belief. i think some

other previous english teams have been scared to talk about it. what is wrong with saying you want to win the world cup. you dream about it from when you start playing as a child. in the relationship with the players and the manager. you have been involved in the game. do you think there is a better bond between coach and manager and players then you have seen in other world cups?” think what gareth southgate has tapped into is the person first in the player, understanding the person and you can understand what you will get from them, including emotions. that is the connection gareth southgate has with this group of players. he previously worked in youth age groups. we will see some quarter—finals in a moment. what is interesting is this world cup has thrown up so many surprises. there will be no argentina, though germany, no brazil for the will be no argentina, though germany, no brazilfor the first

has been unbelievable. that makes a massive difference to us as a team. jordan henderson, the only man who missed a penalty to england the other day. he hopes it will go the same way. we will show you how the other quarter—finals panned out. france saw of uruguay. one of the favourites for the tournaments. we will see anthony griezmann's moment. they looked really strong, france. they looked really strong, france. they have been improving every single game, slowly. in the last game at like the shackles were off. we have seen different styles and combinations. what a talent on the world stage. that is what we love. we need to see players like that inspiring young children who want to play football to bite you have

a lwa ys play football to bite you have always said we have not seen the best of brazil. yesterday, belgium blew them away. kevin de bruyne a good one of the best goals we have seenin good one of the best goals we have seen in the world cup. they were to eden hazard as well. it's like they had weapons all over the pitch. brazil could not handle that. fra nzell ta ke brazil could not handle that. franzell take on belgium indeed. either england or sweden taking on russia. just a reminder, you can see the indian quarter—final against sweden. live on the bbc. kick off at three o'clock. we will be joined by rio ferdinand, jurgen klopp, and alan shearer to be no waistcoats. back to you. there are no waistcoats. so much

focus on the football before kyle edmund's massive match. we hope the matches with angelique kerber and others take a long time before kyle edmund takes centre stage. what a day for the british number one. the british number one's playing in his first ever third round match here, and he won't have it easy. he's playing the three—time champion, novak djokovic, on centre court. he may well be playing at the same time that england take on sweden in russia, causing a friendly rivalry between edmund and his swedish coach, fredrik rosengren. whilst lots of the games big stars have found the first week something of a struggle here at wimbledon, roger federer‘s still on for a record equaliing ninth title. he swept aside germany's jan—lennard struff in straight sets to cruise into round 4.

as does the seven—time champion, serena williams. she passed herfirst proper test at this years tournament by beating france's kristina mladenovic. not such good news for sister venus though, who was beaten in her third—round match. england's cricketers have levelled their t20 series with india to set up a decider in bristol on sunday. eoin morgan's side won by 5 wickets in cardiff. chaseing down 149 to win, david willey hit the winning runs. such a busy sporting weekend, amongst all the tennis and the football there's also the small matter of the british grand prix. lewis hamilton is going for a fifth win in a row at silverstone, but his championship rival sebastian vettel set the pace in yesterday's second practice session. qualifying starts this afternoon. the tour de france also

starts later today and as britain's chris froome goes for a record—equalling fifth tour title he's received a mixed reception from the home supporters. froome's anti—doping case was dropped by cycling's governing body last week. so, this huge weekend, unprecedented weekend of sport. football fans coming here to watch the tennis. you we re coming here to watch the tennis. you were at the japan belgium game in russia and you came straight to wimbledon? we are here to see nishikori. will you keep an eye on the football or don't you care? we will keep supporting. who are you supporting? belgium and england. they could meet in the final! you should go to court to cover back to naga and roger. the atmosphere is fantastic —— court

who's. .. " still on. phone went off. i went," who's... still on. phone went off. i went," who's. .. ". alice still on. phone went off. i went," who's... ". alice got still on. phone went off. i went," who's. .. ". alice got inhaled. he's doing such a phenomenally confusing level. what kind of madness drives somebody to make art that you cannot see? micro- scientists can't explain how he does it. i don't think it would be possible to make willard's sculptures making a machine. incredible, isn't it? and joining us now is micro—sculptor, willard wigan. welcome. you saw the pictures of them looking through the microscopes. i looked at one of these boxes with a needle and ididn't one of these boxes with a needle and i didn't think there was anything in there. what got you into it? it started when i was five, my mother saw me making furniture forehands. she was overwhelmed with what she saw —— for

ands. she said, if i want to get bigger, get smaller —— ants. the smaller my work, the bigger my name. she said it would be like throwing a grain of sand into the sea and creating a tidal wave of wonder and interest all over the world. your mum has helped you get driven forward. you are autistic. that's correct. that's a condition you had at school that wasn't necessarily receive well or treated? it wasn't, they used you as an example of failure if you couldn't speu example of failure if you couldn't spell or read, it was a learning difference. a blessing in disguise, though, because if i didn't have the condition i wouldn't be where i am today. my work is an inspiration to everybody. it's like getting a small key and opening a door as big as mount everest. how does autism affect what you do? you have to be so focused. one of the contributors said what kind of madness drives you to this in the documentary? it's a

nice madness, my mum said, let it become a bad habit. i don't enjoy doing this work, it drives me insane, it's a nightmare but a dream when i finish and the pleasure is people like yourself seeing it. you make a good living doing it? i didn't do it for the money, it was my mother telling me when i made stuff it's not small enough. i put two camels in the eye of the needle and then she said it wasn't enough, i put nine in and she still said it wasn't enough and now ican do still said it wasn't enough and now i can do 22! i can carve smaller than a i can do 22! i can carve smaller thana human i can do 22! i can carve smaller than a human embryo, beyond all comprehension. we will have a look at some of the sculptures you have made. can you explain, when you are creating something like that, that's in the eye of the needle, what do you use to paint, you have to paint the violin and the fretwork of the violin? the violin is made

separately, all 3—dimensional, violin? the violin is made separately, all3—dimensional, it has strings on it. that's made from a broken dinner plate. people think it is real, they can't believe it is done by hand. carved from a grain of sand and the letters are made from a broken dinner plate. how do you keep a steady hand? it is so small and you make the tools yourself, how do uk—based eddie hearn?” you make the tools yourself, how do uk-based eddie hearn? i can slow down my heartbeat, i can become a dead man working —— —— how do you make it so small. why do uni to slow down your heart rate? the pulse in your finger down your heart rate? the pulse in yourfinger can be down your heart rate? the pulse in your finger can be detrimental to your finger can be detrimental to your work. one tiny movement can cause a problem. i have learned to control my nervous system. it's like putting a pin through a bubble without bursting it. you use acupuncture needles and an eyelash

to paint? broken shards of diamond. you can see the sculpture but it's only when you see it under the microscope you can see the details. cani microscope you can see the details. can i pick you up on something, you're not 61? i'm 61. you look far too good for 61. it's all about holding your breath and thinking england are going to win the world cup, which we will! you will be coming back in a couple of hours and you have plans if england win the world cup, we will let the viewers know about that later. thank you. the super small: world's tiniest is on channel 4 tomorrow at 10pm. i'm going to hold my breath and you can introduce ben, it might stop the ageing process! here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. i struggle to get a thread through the eye of the needle so that is impressive! if you like warmth, this weekend is

pretty impressive. this was earlier in the scottish highlands. mostly dry with lots of hot sunshine. what we've had for the last couple of weeks. high pressure in place over the top of the british isles, the winds will be light, lots of sunshine to go through the day. mist and murk for some of these irish sea coastal areas, the small chance of a shower later in the far south—east and more cloud developing in parts of northern ireland and western scotland. that might bring the odd spot of drizzle later but in eastern and southern scotland, aberdeen into edinburgh and glasgow, it is looking good. more cloud into the western side of northern ireland with some drizzle across wales and england, lots of football watching going on this afternoon, sunny skies for the most part. 31 or 32. may be a small chance of a shower. we go under the cloud to the samara arena. this is the sky overhead. patchy cloud but

blue sky and sunshine as well. temperatures at 3pm around 26 or 27. ba rely temperatures at 3pm around 26 or 27. barely any wind, quite hot for the players. hotter still at wimbledon, closer to home, temperatures around 29 or 30 through the afternoon with some patchy cloud and good spells of sunshine as well. then we had through this evening and overnight, the small risk of a shower in the south—east, any developing will fade away then lots of dry weather and clear spells. this band of cloud into the north—west of scotland and northern ireland overnight bringing the odd spot of drizzle perhaps. with that, warm and muggy, overnight lows around 13. i mentioned this weather front, behind lows around 13. i mentioned this weatherfront, behind that lows around 13. i mentioned this weather front, behind that as it slides into western areas tomorrow, we will get some cooler air. only really in the far north—west of the country. this is the weather front, the band of cloud with some rain on it but to the south—east of that,

for much of northern ireland, southern scotland and much of england and wales, a dry and sunny day, lots of sunshine, real warmth, temperatures in the south—east 31 or 32. cooler the further north and west you are. next week, no great surprise, mainly dry with sunny spells but for a time, turning a bit cooler. that's all for now. ever since england won their penalty shootout against colombia on tuesday, fans have dared to dream that football's coming home. the 1996 anthem by skinner and baddiel has been reinvented by many supporters for the digital age. one fan, film and tv composer nick harvey, took to twitter to collaborate with other musicians to create a social media version of the song. let's take a look. it's coming home, it's coming home,

it's coming. football's coming home. footballs coming home. it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming. football's coming home. three lions ona shirt, football's coming home. three lions on a shirt, jules renege still gleaming. 30 years of hurt. never stopped me dreaming. it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming. football's coming home. it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming. football's coming home. something quite classical about

that, isn't there? creator nick harvey's here now, along with mhairi grealis and sam fuller, who also star in the video. good morning, nice to see you. thank you for coming in. the song is obvious, where did you get the idea to pull this disparate orchestra together? i was feeling euphoric after the penalty shootout and i thought it would be nice to video myself playing the accompaniment and then on twitter with the caption twitter band assembled, hoping other musicians and vocalists would reply, singing along or playing along to my initial video and i didn't know it would take off as it did —— assemble. sam, how did youjump in? i've known it for a while because we do the same job and i've followed him fora do the same job and i've followed him for a while and i saw this antics on twitter. —— known nick. england are doing well and there's something nice with the country together with everyone together.“

that how you got involved, the music? i work in theatre but i have sung my whole life. i will sing at the opening of an envelope. i couldn't resist it. i was the first respond, which was really surprising. with a different style to the song as well. an interesting take. almost as if she didn't know the original tune. take. almost as if she didn't know the originaltune. i'm sure take. almost as if she didn't know the original tune. i'm sure that's meant to be a compliment. how rude! you are friends i'm assuming now. we had never met before, they were totally random strangers, as are most of the people who contributed. even though you do the same kind of work? we've got the same job but i've never met him before, we met la st i've never met him before, we met last night. how strange. david baddiel got in touch, he saw it on twitter and he said well done.” baddiel got in touch, he saw it on twitter and he said well done. i was trying to persuade him to add this

vocals to the melee. been there, done that! i think our version is better than the original anyway! where does this go, after england beat sweden of course today, where next? we have a stadium tour lined up next? we have a stadium tour lined upfor next? we have a stadium tour lined up for 2019. numerous brits will be coming out... you don't need a stadium tour, you reached more people than could get in a stadium on social media. you have the keyboard and everything here. let's do it. we've got 30 seconds. is there a microphone? let me turn it on. let's do it. this is it, guys! our first on. let's do it. this is it, guys! ourfirst ever gig! no rehearsals, here we go! it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming! football's coming home, it's coming
