4:09 pm
behind me, i am watching the game, which is why my eyes are popping up, but i was successful. i would not recommend emergency treatment in a foreign country, but if you do have it, make sure to have a tv series you can watch the world cup. 0k, we will leave you to your game and your stresses, perfect example of the dangers of being a world cup fan. thank you very much. 0ur sports news correspondent 0lly foster is in moscow. you are in one piece, but goodness me, i—0 you are in one piece, but goodness me, 1—0 up. england have 38 minutes to book a semifinal place here in moscow next wednesday evening against either the hosts, russia, or croatia, who play later in sochi. it is going to be a very nervous second half down in samara. i will show you how england
4:10 pm
took the lead, a wonderful first international goal from harry maguire. perhaps sweden were looking at the other harry, harry kane on six goals, but it was harry maguire with a powerful header which beat this swedish keeper. england pushing again to go 2—0 up. it looks like raheem sterling had another chance. raheem sterling had another chance. raheem sterling had another chance. raheem sterling had a wonderful chance before half—time. he was put through byjordan henderson and was one—on—one with the goalkeeper. these are live pictures on bbc one. you are seeing a replay of that chance at the back post that england had. it was raheem sterling. you tried for the spectacular, but look at it into the air. england still leading i—0. after half—time, sweden had a wonderful chance to equalise. marcus berg's header, another fantastic save. we saw saves from
4:11 pm
jordan pickford in the last 16, but it was that big live timekeeping out marcus berg han it was that big live timekeeping out marcus berghan keeping england in front. just over 35 minutes left to play. if england can keep a clean sheet, keep their shape, as they have done, it is not a spectacular game. the game will open. sweden having to go fred, semifinal is back in 1984. england looking for their first semifinal since 1990. -- 19 94. it will be first semifinal since 1990. —— 19 94. it will be nervous. you can say that again. you're watching bbc news. the prime minister has warned her cabinet she won't allow them to criticise the government's brexit policy in public following their collective agreement to back her plan for britain's future relationship with the eu. following a marathon 12—hour meeting of the cabinet at chequers yesterday, theresa may told ministers, it was their "duty" to agree a blueprint for brexit. the eu has said it will "assess the proposals to see if they are workable and realistic."
4:12 pm
here's our political correspondent, jessica parker. a grand setting to try and come up with a grand plan. yesterday, theresa may won cabinet's approval for her proposals on ourfuture relationship with the eu. some leave supporters will scorn it, cabinet brexiteers must sell it. the bit that has not been highlighted is what we agreed yesterday is that we would also step up no deal planning. we do not want that, we do not want no deal. the deal they do want has not yet been fully published but proposals include harmonisation with eu rules on goods to allow frictionless trade but parliament would have oversight. free movement would come to an end, a mobility framework takes its place, and there would be an independent trade policy for the uk. today conservative mps have been invited to hear more. a lot of questions. tory mps may be getting a brexit briefing from the chief whip today but it is monday when they are due to meet direct with
4:13 pm
the prime minister. the likely demand, detail. but even if backbench brexiteers end y, the cabinet's approval of the plans begs the question, who will the sceptics now rally around ? maybe this man. prominent brexiteerjacob rees—mogg was ready to air his concerns today. we need to know the details. as with eggs, an egg that is very softly boiled isn't boiled at all. a very soft brexit means we haven't left, we simply are a rule taker. that is not something that this country voted for. it's not what the prime minister promised. in the heat, the cabinet agreed and there is a danger that the mood could cool. but crucially the eu would need to warm to the proposals as well. it is a fudge, it is an attempt to placate both sides of the conservative party. it's now going to run into serious problems in the negotiations with the european union and i suspect that what lies behind it is that the hardliners will now blame europe for any mess that results. yesterday's marathon meeting
4:14 pm
did at least produce an appearance of unity and a plan. now the next test, will it stay the distance? i'm joined by our political correspondent nick eardley. what does she have to do now for brussels to agree and to convince the backbenchers as well? that is the backbenchers as well? that is the three key challenges. she has won over the cabinet, so it seems, she has told them, you have to get behind me on this, no talking out of line. the whip is they are, we have to continue. can ijust interrupts. england have scored again. 2—0. it is coming home! i think so... i think we will... there was so little
4:15 pm
hype before the tournament about this team! are you scottish? i have lived in england forfive this team! are you scottish? i have lived in england for five years. of course i support england! hear it is. it is another header. there was that? number 20? dele alli? dele alli! listened to that! thank you! 2-0. if alli! listened to that! thank you! 2—0. if you havejustjoined us. back to brexit. let me think about that... we have had this blueprint. we have the meeting of backbenchers, keep your eyes away from the newsroom... ! keep your eyes away from the newsroom. . .! the backbenchers on monday. yes, three key challenges to get this deal through. the first was to get the cabinet on board and she
4:16 pm
has done that or she thinks she has and she has told them to get behind her. she has to get the party on board and that might be slightly more challenging because we know some who are ardent brexiteers, more broadly some have been raising questions and jacob rees—mogg said there are still concerns that need to be tackled but they are waiting to be tackled but they are waiting to see those details, waiting to hear from the to see those details, waiting to hearfrom the prime minister on monday. europe is also welcoming more clarity from the uk on what it wa nts. more clarity from the uk on what it wants. that is what they have been calling on for some time. they want to see the detail before they can say this is workable and if it meets their standards. thank you very much for that. just to remind our viewers... ! for that. just to remind our viewers...! it is 2—0, england! that we re viewers...! it is 2—0, england! that were scored in the 58th minute. and you can follow this game on bbc one. the rest of the today...

a man has died in police custody after officers used cs spray to detain him. greater manchester police said the man was arrested by officers following an alleged domestic disturbance in 0ldham yesterday night. but the man, who was in his 30s, was found to be unresponsive in the back of the police van by the time he arrived at the custody station, a distance of roughly four miles. he was later pronounced dead in hospital. it's not just the football and tennis that are being celebrated today as people across the country are taking part in pride. these pictures were taken outside the bbc‘s headquarters here in london, near oxford street. thousands of people lined the streets to cheer on the processions which included steel drummers, party floats and soliders. —— soldiers. the events up and down the country are celebrating the lgbt community and will conintue over the next few weeks.
4:18 pm
the headlines on bbc news... england are leading sweden 2—0 in samara as they look to book their place in the world cup semi—finals. conservative brexiteers say they want more details about the plan for the uk's future relationship with the eu agreed by the cabinet yesterday. a group of 12 thai boys who've been trapped in a flooded cave for two weeks have written letters to their parents. away from the football, another shock at wimbledon as simona halep is out in the third round, losing to shih tzu way from thailand. rafa nadal is safely through to the last 16 and kyle edmund is next on centre court. the 12 boys trapped in a flooded cave system in thailand have sent handwritten letters to their families
4:19 pm
to reassure them they're well. their football coach — who is with them — also sent a note apologising to parents. the team was cut off when exploring the cave two weeks ago. sophie long reports. all—out preparations to bring the young footballers and their coach out of the cave are now under way, say those leading this rescue operation. one of the main priorities is still to reduce the water levels inside the cave, in the hope that they can bring the boy out without having to use full scuba gear. many of the boys can't swim. this rescue operation has always been a race against the clock, but now timing is more critical than ever. they say they want to get the boys out before their health deteriorates and before the heavy rain that is forecast, comes. the fear is that more water will rush into the cave, making conditions even worse than they were to begin with. the only way out of the cave remains the way they came in, but it is a dangerous passage. the tragic death of a former
4:20 pm
thai navy seal delivering air tanks to the cave yesterday underlined just how difficult this evacuation will be. translation: every cave diver volunteer team reaches their limit at chamber three. they cannot go further than that. such a rescue mission has never happened before on this planet. it requires both knowledge and skills of the cave diver. messages were brought out by divers overnight. one of them from the 25—year—old coach who led the boys in there. "i am really sorry," he said to their parents. and promised to do his best to look after them. "please don't worry," say notes from the young footballers. "we are all strong." 0thers requested their favourite foods and pleaded not to be given too much homework when they get out. letters have also been sent in from the boys' parents in the hope they will lift the boys' morale. to their coach they said, "we don't blame you." sophie long, bbc news, tham luang. 0ur correspondent dan johnson is following the rescue operation. it is always busy here, even late
4:21 pm
into the night. all this activity. in the last few minutes, soldiers have been putting up that green eating behind me, previously we could see further towards the entrance to the cave, when the divers and rescuers have got their makeshift base. that screen has been put up and we do not know that are significant, if there is going to be activity in the next few minutes. it is rumbling with thunder and we think it is about to rain. that could be heavy rain and the governor in charge of this operation did say that if there was heavy rain, that could raise the water level, putting the boys at risk and that would put into place an emergency rescue plan. they would speed up the rescue operation that is already proceeding. it may be that they are putting themselves on a footing, ready in case the rain comes and they need to move quickly. earlier
4:22 pm
today the rescuers said they had a weather window of about three or four days when it thought there would not be much rain and they would not be much rain and they would have a chance to train the boys further in swimming and using scuba gear so they could eventually come out. they thought that three or four day window was useful and the strength of the boys was at its optimum, now they have regained some of their strength over the last few days since they were discovered. the other option is to drill from above but the mountainous terrain around here means that is a really difficult, probably slow option. if there is going to be a quick end to this, it means the boys diving out but that is not without risk because one of the rescue team involved has already lost his life. already a contracts operation and things are going to start to move overnight, it will still take some time to get all 13 of the boys and their coach out of here. i'm not sure if you have details but in terms of the
4:23 pm
operation, you said this is complex, ican hear operation, you said this is complex, i can hear chatter about chamber three. why it is so problematic for the rescue team. what can you tell us? yes, that is the covering mirrors to the boys are, where the rescue mirrors to the boys are, where the rescu e tea m mirrors to the boys are, where the rescue team can set an intermediate base. it is deep inside the cave but it is the last point the drivers can put all their extra equipment and supplies because each diver needs three tanks of oxygen just to reach the point where the boys are so bad as the toughest bit, getting the boys back to covering three and once they have made it through the narrowest pa rt is, they have made it through the narrowest part is, they have navigated the worst bit. but that is tricky, a journey that takes five or six hours in total to get to the cave entrance or professional with experience. these boys will certainly not be rushed and of the water is not rising and there is no immediate risk, we think the rescu e rs immediate risk, we think the rescuers will take as much time as
4:24 pm
they can because the will boys be in such an unfamiliar environment, having to use skills they only have learned in the last couple of days. these are the toughest diving conditions for very much scuba diving beginners, boys who cannot even some, some of them. this will bea even some, some of them. this will be a long journey out and be assumed they will be guided by divers individually and it will take a long time for all 13 to make it to the entrance. we're not even sure if that will begin tonight. that was danjohnson. police investigating the latest nerve agent poisoning in wiltshire are trawling through more than 1300 hours of cctv footage. dawn sturgess and charlie rowley remain in a critical condition in salisbury district hospital, after being taken ill a week ago. investigators believe the couple may have handled a contaminated object containing the potentially deadly novichok. police say it's likely the investigation will take months to complete. i spoke with our correspondent, alison freeman, who's in amesbury, a short time ago. we have seen quite a lot of comings
4:25 pm
and goings in amesbury today. a few hours ago police joined by fire crews and ambulance crews who are here to support them as they continue on examining that address where those two people who fell ill two weeks ago today were found, just behind me on the estate behind me. police today have said that this investigation into what happened to dawn sturgess and charles rowley is likely to last for several months. they fell ill last saturday with symptoms similar to those suffered by sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia, who were poisoned in nearby salisbury back in march. officers say what they are doing now is scouring 1300 hours of cctv footage as they try and work out the movements of the couple that have been most recently poisoned. last night they revealed more details about where they had been on friday and saturday of last week from the youth hostel, sorry,
4:26 pm
from the hostel where dawn sturgess lives through to the centre of salisbury and then to here in amesbury where they both fell ill at the weekend. the atmosphere here is one of sort of appreciation of what the emergency services are doing. we have seen little boys coming along and giving policemen lollies to encourage them and keep them up in this extremely hot weather. we do know there are 100 counterterrorism officers who are working on this case now and it seems that they are pretty much facing looking for a needle in a haystack as they try and work out what the item was this couple had handled and where they found it. that was alison freeman reporting from amesbury. at least 38 people have been killed and nearly 50 others are missing after heavy rain caused landslides in japan. the torrential downpours have forced more than 1.5 million people to be evacuated from their homes in western and central areas of the country. and now japan's meteorological agency is forecasting record amounts of rain over the next few days.
4:27 pm
joanna jolly reports. it's been decades since the central and western areas of japan have seen rainfall as intense as this. vast areas in the main island of honshu have been inundated with muddy water as rivers have burst their banks. many of those killed have fallen into and been swept away by the fast flowing floods. hundreds of homes have been destroyed and factories have been forced to halt production. this is a mountainous area and the authorities have warned against the threat of mudslides, which have already claimed several lives. japan's infrastructure has also suffered as roads have crumbled and rail lines have been broken in half. 50,000 police officers, firefighters and members of the defence forces have been deployed to rescue those cut—off or flooded out of homes. officials have told the public to be vigilant against further danger from landslides, rising rivers and strong winds. translation: heavy rain will continue in the area for western
4:28 pm
to eastern japan. and it will be historic torrential rainfall, which could be the heaviest rain ever recorded. forecasters say it looks likely that the heavy rains will continue throughout the weekend. joanna jolly, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. the weekend has had a very warm start in places with plenty of sunshine and more to come from any of us tomorrow. the odd shower developing in kent and they will fade away this evening and plenty of evening sunshine and overnight, clear spells and the cloud increasing for north west scotland with rain and drizzle later. not as cool as last night in scotland and temperatures dropping close to freezing but double figures for tonight and elsewhere around 12—16. humid so tough for the sleeping. tomorrow, plenty of sunshine to
