it's a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity. i mean, i'm now 70, i probably won't get to see them again. and if england get to the final, then that's another bridge we'll have to cross come thursday. we'll need to get some more tickets. no wonder tickets are in demand. the last time england won a world cup semifinal was 1966, when they beat portugal. we all know what happened then. wednesday's opponents, croatia, who trained in moscow tonight, are aiming for their first—ever final, and could pose a real threat to england's dreams. this, for me, will be the first test they've had of people actually putting them under pressure and asking a lot of questions. notjust one or two, which they have had to deal with. basically, this could be a lot of chances, a lot of balls coming in the box, a lot of shots at pickford. this team will create. tomorrow, england will leave their training base and make their way to moscow for a date with destiny. when they return they could well be world up finalists forjust the second time in their country's history. for english football, these truly are momentous times. dan roan, bbc news, repino.

let's return to our main story... the resignation of borisjohnson as foreign secretary. huw‘s in westminster. huw... yes, 2a hours ago the two ministers with a major say in brexit were still in post. tonight, david davis and boris johnson are still in post. tonight, david davis and borisjohnson are no longer in government, having expressed their strong dislike of the brexit strategy. in mrjohnson‘s case that dislike asman expressed this evening in the strongest terms. how secure is mrs may? word is at leave the uk approach to the last phase of the brexit talks? laura kuenssberg is back. let's focus on the prime minister's own position. how do you read it? there are two competing theories. one is this day looks like

a complete fiasco. you have a group of d oze ns a complete fiasco. you have a group of dozens of tory rebels adamant privately they are going to do everything in their power to stop this chequers compromise brokered at the end of last week from going ahead. dark mutterings about threats of more ministers walking out. we don't know how committed they are to that. how seriously are they going to try to take any potential moves against theresa may. the competing theory is, well, this has been a very rocky day. but actually, theresa may may have waved goodbye quite cheered eater to have the big voices giving her a hard time. —— two of the big voices. never waste a crisis in politics, is the saying. she has ended up with a couple of more loyal to, who may be more pliable, who may make things easier in the coming days. she is still there tonight, very much so, which is not in complete control. there

are two big factors that will dictate what really happens. how will the european union react formally to the compromise she put on the table last week? if they are friendly and allowed to go forward, that would give her more authority. but also, again, what do the people who have left government today really planned to do? do they plan to provide leadership to those in the conservative party who are so disgruntled? the conservative party who are so disgruntled ? that could the conservative party who are so disgruntled? that could make life extremely difficult. it is no —— not allup to extremely difficult. it is no —— not all up to her. laura kuenssberg. that's all from westminster tonight. there'll be continuing coverage on the bbc news channel, and more analysis on newsnight on bbc two. but now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. area and

are a and stop and get the latest spot for in. business as usual is hard to find with nadal, federer all winning. the big names shown no sign of stopping. in pursuit of greatness is the slogan for wimbledon. three players with 60 grand slam titles between them on court today. the trophy itself was watching. take our eyes off roger federer and you could miss is set. the first run took him 16 minutes to win. at times federer seems to toy with his opponents. through in straight sets again and so through in straight sets again and so the next great please. after all

her years at wimbledon, for serena williams today there was a novelty, ship based new opponent in her match. evgeny orlov in the up was playing for the first time in a grand slam. 6—2 6—2 for serena today. both women are parents, it is hoping to be a working mum says cellino. here's djokovic with his three—year—old son. i wonder if stefa n three—year—old son. i wonder if stefan stayed up to watch dad win at 8:50pm tonight on court one. rafa nadal is through to the quarterfinals, the first time since 2011. in his straight sets win, he was personally and are suing greatness. if it is nadal versus

federer on sunday, it's met even rivalled the world cup final. the full england squad trained today including jamie vardy and jordan henderson who are still injury concerns ahead of the semifinal against croatia on wednesday. one game against the final —— until the final. they were knocked out by iceland only a few years ago. we knew we could only make amends for that moment he is at this world cup. nothing else would fix that. it has been a long process since then and we have learned from our mistakes. that is the most important thing. we have made things right and we have seen have made things right and we have seen the wider country has got behind us and happiness we have given out at the same time, it is fantastic to be a part it. tomorrow night at the same we will no one of the finalists. will it be france or

belgium? john bennett is in st petersburg for the semifinal. this is not just a petersburg for the semifinal. this is notjust a local derby in the geographical sense but full of stars who know each other very well. both squads are packed with english premier league talents. 13 premier league players combined. interestingly, one of the biggest stars did not train, and badly did not. the french was says all 23 of his players are fully fit. roberto martinez is riding the crest of a wave and after the win against brazil he changed the tactics and it worked to perfection. can you do again against france? i've been talking to a former team—mate of his, pat nevin. there rapid changes like whenever against japan. you his, pat nevin. there rapid changes like whenever againstjapan. you add on top of that, the game against

brazil, big pressure and suddenly he adapts his full system which, the roberto i knew generally did not. the last time both sides met it finished 4—3. belgium has scored 1a goals, france have scored nine goals. this has the makings of a world cup classics. britain's geraint thomas is up to third overall in the tour de france. he guided the reigning champion chris froome and team sky to second place on the 22 mile stage. the belgian rider leads the race. chris froome is just rider leads the race. chris froome isjust one minute back in rider leads the race. chris froome is just one minute back in the 18. tanker the paper is now on the bbc news channel. our top story here and what might make the headlines here,

serena williams, roger federer and rafa nadal all safely through at wimbledon. see you later. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are dia chakravarty, who's the brexit editor at the daily telegraph, and dawn foster, who's a columnist for the guardian. let's bring you up to date with what is on the front pages so far. the financial times has more on the political turmoil caused by the resignations of borisjohnson and david davis. the telegraph has the same story. it says theresa may's leadership is in crisis following the high profile resignations. borisjohnson is on the front page of the metro as well — along with claims that the brexit dream is dying. the guardian says hardline brexiters have been warned to back the prime minister —

or risk handing over power to jeremy corbyn. the mirror reports borisjohnson is tipped to launch a leadership bid after deciding to ditch theresa may's cabinet. we have had news of a new foreign secretary, jeremy hunt. first time since the news —— he said britain will remain a confident and strong voice in the world. first i want to start by thanking my predecessor, borisjohnson, who has been one of the great driving forces of british foreign politics and as foreign secretary orchestrated a very important response to the attack on the skripals in salisbury amongst other very very important work. my principaljob at a time of massive importance for our country is to stand four square behind the prime minister

so that we can get through an agreement with european union based on what was agreed by the cabinet last week at chequers. a part of that is a strong, confident britain, a global britain which is why we have big events like the nato summit, president trump's visits, the western balkans summit, i will be very active in all of those. but most of all this is a time when the world is looking at us as a country, wondering what type of country will be in a post—brexit world. i want to say to them is britain is going to be a dependable ally, a country that stands up for the values that matter to the people of this country and will be a strong, confident voice in the world. first words from jeremy hunt. what a wiki has got. talk about a huge red box he will have to absorb tonight,

he has the balkans summit, he has the nato summit, years the visit of donald trump and the domestic uncertainty. let us start with the front page of the financial times. what do you make of the timing of their departures? obviously david davis winfred very late. it seems shambolic. he knew about the chequers deal on friday, you could have resigned then. there is talk about then deciding not to because they would have to walk to get a taxi home. then boris came well over 50 hours later. it makes you think that david davis could easily see he did it because he did not believe he could bring forward brexit in all honesty but boris just looks like he is chasing the leadership bid. she announced his resignation while he

was still writing the letter, trying to get the upper hand. what do you make of the david davis resignation, that was the front page this morning. i'm sure it kept you up late. yes, it did. was it expected? people had been expecting david davis to go for a little while because power had been taken out of his hands, you could even say since july last year but certainly since march this year. he has not been in charge of negotiating on our behalf and he secretary of state for getting us out of the eu. reports are that he and michel barnier were not even exchanging texts anymore so not even exchanging texts anymore so not even exchanging texts anymore so not even communicating. i think

david davis was my grievance, i can see where he is coming from, he has been sidelined by the prime minister. people are quick to blame the civil servant involved. it is politicians who run the civil serva nts politicians who run the civil servants and if they are not strong enough to direct the civil servants, it isa enough to direct the civil servants, it is a weak politician who hides behind the civil servants. he had been sidelined for some time now. speaking to his friends, he had had enough. i do not know why he did not go on trading but it was clear that this childish fear about leaving cards lying about taxi companies seems in bad taste. remember angela merkel... seems in bad taste. remember angela merkel. .. the seems in bad taste. remember angela merkel... the irish prime minister had also, i am not surprised he has gone. that brings us to the front

page of the metro newspaper describing boris is dropping a bombshell. he let of bombs afternoon. that is one view this as afternoon. that is one view this as a statesman—like decision by somebody who practices the word is singing from the same hymn sheet yet the words stuck in his throat, as he puts it. or the other view is he looked at the criticism of him on sunday in the newspapers, we expected winston churchill and instead we got neville chamberlain saw his pride was hurt. what do you think? i think boris realise this could be a good moment for him. if he stayed, he looked weak. as much as he is not a strong politician, he does have a way with words.
