hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the moment french fans in paris saw their team score the goal, which saw them beat belgium and book their place in the world cup final. in thailand all 12 boys and their football coach are out of the cave. we'll have the story of a remarkable day. president trump is in europe for a nato summit, a trip to the uk and a meeting with vladimir putin. guess which one he thinks will go smoothest. frankly, putin might be the easiest of them all. who would think? donald trump says uk politics is in turmoil. theresa may tried to show otherwise today — sharing this picture of a cabinet meeting. but two big names were missing after they resigned over brexit — and two more senior conservatives have resigned today. and how did the dinosaurs get so back? and how did the
9:01 pm
dinosaurs get so big? paleantologists think they have the answer with the discovery of new fossils. france have booked their spot in the world cup final. just moments ago the team beat belgium in the first semi final clash in st petersburg. look at the celebrations. the excitement is that maximum let's bring in ali. olly foster, moscow. i was presenting the news, so for eve ryo ne i was presenting the news, so for everyone else in the game, what
9:02 pm
happened? we expected more goals. not the game we were hoping for, this is has just not the game we were hoping for, this is hasjust gotten better, they knocked out argentina and belgium with nine different goal scorers and they knocked off brazil, we thought that the one that would emerge and this will be the favourite to lift the world cup, but it was just the one goal in it was at half—time, for both keepers, that it was just from across a simple innocuous looking cross, from the corner and the french defender, does his head up to it, who was starting for the bell, is aerial prowess, he was mocking with a light touch, and that was it, the defender with the goal that ta kes the defender with the goal that takes france to their third world cup final. there were runners—up in 2006, going back 20 years when their
9:03 pm
writing midfield when they wanted, he is now the man orchestrating their mark through russia to the dugout. something very special for the water carrier because france is through to their third world cup finalfor belgium, through to their third world cup final for belgium, this through to their third world cup finalfor belgium, this golden generation, they've got that dreaded third—place playoff on saturday back in saint petersburg. don't go anywhere, because you want to talk about england and croatia. we heard from england's manager gareth southgate this afternoon. let's take a listen. we are we a re really we are really proud of the support that we are receiving. we have had the chance to make a difference, our supporters and countries have had a long—term of suffering in terms of football. we have been through some difficult moments recently, in terms of unity, and i think that sport has
9:04 pm
the power to do that in football in particular has the power to do that and so, for us, we can feel the energy and support from home and it isa energy and support from home and it is a very special feeling. it is a privilege for us. gareth southgate isn'tjust the manager, he's a one man campaign for waistcoasts. he wears one at every match match and the fans are following him. here are some of getting ready to journey from heathrow airport to moscow for the game. and their confidence in england's success is building. let's head back to 0lly. where is yours? i'm not going to wear one. it will be west waste the england players, theirfeeling get the first time in a long time,
9:05 pm
it is really engaging with their followers as well. there have been ticketing problems, we are not going to see many england fans inside 18,000 capacity stadium, but the england players do feel the millions that have gone behind them because they have exceeded all expectations, including their own. they did not see themselves getting in the first semifinal for years see themselves getting in the first semifinalfor years and see themselves getting in the first semifinal for years and now they're going to emulate the class of 1966 and what happened there and croatia about, yes they have been through two penalty shoot out, they've had an extra half hour of football in those weary legs, but they've got some world class players there is as well. when those two are in the centre of midfield, i thought the belgium were going to beat the french, i might have said that at some point during this tournament, of course, i'm going to say england
9:06 pm
are going to win, but it could be another tough night. why the game is playing out, we will try to keep you up—to—date that's a tip to the best story of the day many think. after 17 days, the boys are out of the cave — their football coach is out too — and so are all the divers who rescued them — these are the last four men who came out of the cave — they're thai navy seals. some new pictures havejust come into the newsroom. this is the moment all of the divers who've been involved in the rescue came out of the cave for the last time. (applause) this was the moment the rescue team found out everyone was safe.
9:07 pm
9:08 pm
private sector, and supporting one another. the community has been providing this moral support, we accomplished a mission that was deemed by many to be impossible. it was the first time in the world. it isa was the first time in the world. it is a pride of team thailand. the mission was made possible by team thailand. the boys are now in quarantine and have only been able to see their families through glass. that's because doctors are worried they may have picked up infections while in the cave. and as each boy was transported to hospital they were cheered on their way. (applause) the boys have been given a special invite by fifa to go and watch the world cup final in russia — but unfortunately will still be in hospital for another week. but look at this tweet
9:09 pm
from manchester united— saying "we would love to welcome the team from wild boars football club and their rescuers to old trafford this coming season." here's the moment the bbc‘s jonathan head told the boy's chief coach — so not the one who was in the cave with them — about the invite. from manchester united. they want you and the boys to go to old trafford. real, this is from manchester united. i want to show you some ‘behind the scenes‘ photos that have emerged. dozens of professional divers from thailand and around the world, and hundreds of volunteers were involved in this rescue, and it was understandably exhausting. these photos are the proof. they were tweeted by the entertainment account, ‘happy sharing by d.k.s.' you can see members of the rescue team sleeping in the mud.
9:10 pm
for this man — even a moment's shut eye against a rock is better than nothing. and here — a volunteer gives one of the rescuers a free hair cut at the cave mouth. the bbc‘s fergus walsh has been lookeing at how the rescue teams managed to pull such a daring rescue mission off. here's his report. heroes all, the 90 divers who took part in the search and rescue, including thai navy seals, british cave divers and other international experts. it has gripped the world's attention. the british cave rescue council said seven of its divers had been part of the cave rescue team helping to bring the boys out. they've done something that i think we all thought was barely possible, you know, and they have pulled it off. the challenge, getting the 12 boys and their coach to swim 2.5 miles through these narrow
9:11 pm
and flooded caves to safety. it began 17 days ago when the boys and their coach went missing. they had gone to write their names on the walls of the cave. a huge international rescue operation began. they were alone for nine days until found by two british cave divers. this was the moment. 0njuly the 6th, a former thai navy seals died while returning through the caves, underlining how perilous the rescue would be. then, on sunday, the first four boys were rescued. each was accompanied by two expert divers for the five hours or more trek through the flooded sections, they were strapped underneath one of the divers. but in the narrowest part, just 38 centimetres, they had to
9:12 pm
squeeze through alone with their air tank in front of them. at home in brighton, the mother of an elite diver listening again to the moment her son and another british diver discovered the missing thai boys. i'm very proud of him. john is a very kind, modest person and i knew that they would do a good job and i kept my fingers crossed for both of them. all the thai navy seals and the international divers are safely out. mission accomplished before the monsoon rains will flood the caves for months to come. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come. donald trump has arrived in belgium — it's at the start of a trip that will see him visit nato, the uk and meet vladimir putin.
9:13 pm
this comes after two people were poisoned attending a public meeting where officials answered questions about the investigation so far. and being in touch with contamination as we invite advice, if he had been in a place where you might have been in an area with low—level contamination,, where you might have been in an area with low—level contamination, , if you become ill with this stuff from
9:14 pm
actually contacting a significant amount, it's within six to 12 hours, but yet to be in touch with the that is the moment france went up against belgium and they never relinquished their lead. it has left china for germany after eight years of unofficial detention, he had been under effective house arrest since the late husband won the prize in 2010. horrific accounts of gang rape, throats being slit and mass
9:15 pm
shootings are described in the latest united nations report on south sudan. the un blames the violence on government and allied forces. south sudan's army said it had not yet received the report, and therefore could not comment. bbc world service. hollywood star george clooney has received minor injuries in scooter crash in sardinia. the 57 year old's scooter was hit by a car that failed to stop — causing him to slamming into its windshield. clooney was taken to hospital, but is now recovering at home. look who's arrived in europe. here's donald trump air force one arriving in belgium. donald trump is in town for the latest nato summit. that's tomorrow. then on thursday the president goes onto the uk. before on monday — meeting vladimir putin in helsinki. just before you think this is just another diplomatic round—robin — there may be a lot more to this. former us ambassador to israel daniel shapiro says
9:16 pm
his argument is that the current international order rests on the alliance of europe and america. and that is under severe pressure. doanld tusk is one of the most senior figures at the eu. he knows this. he also read out that message at a news conference with the nato secretary general — and then added this. first of all, america, appreciate your allies.
9:17 pm
after all, you don't have that many. and, the europe spends more on your defence, because everyone respects and allied that is well prepared and equipped. money is important, general solidarity is even more important. donald trump was asked for his response before he boarded air force one. well, we do have a lot of allies, but we cannot be ticketed vantage up. we are being taken advantage of by the european union. and we lost $151 billion last year on trade, and on top of that, we spend at least 70% tomato and frankly, it helps them a lot more that helps us. so we'll what happens. have heard this
9:18 pm
message from donald trump many times before, so what leverage what we have with these nato members would have with these nato members would have not been listening to his advice on previous occasions? he's banking on embarrassing them further and he's also been linking defence in nato spending with trade. another tweet in the last hour or so, the european union makes it impossible for companies to do business in europe, the us has $151 billion trade deficit and then they want us to happily defend them through nato and nicely pay for. thatjust does not work. he's banking on embarrassing them, it is not the first american president to talk about the european countries putting more into nato, but it's the way he's doing it and it's almost his sole focus when it comes to nato. but that has angered european countries. it is not for the us the style of how to spend our money. they do spend less on defence, but it means they can put more into
9:19 pm
welfare programmes and social programmes and they believe that is their prerogative. but clearly, donald trump feels that this is the art of the deal, that this is the way to get us to pay up. but he could be counterproductive, because all those european leaders who have, by the way, said that they do commit to paying more tomato over a period of time, they also have to answer to their own public. so this could be, to some critics, counterproductive in the way that he is trying to humiliate european leaders in this way. a couple of other things to mention, president trump is moving on to the uk, there are still have a meeting with that will include a meeting wityh theresa may at chequers and tea with the queen at windsor castle. he will then head north to ayrshire in scotland, where it is reported he will stay at his golf club in turnberry. i'm hoping he will be as that's where i'll be across the weekend. then it's on to finland, for a meeting
9:20 pm
with vladimir putin in helsinki. president trump was quite dismissive about that meeting before he left. soi so i have nato, i had the uk which is in somewhat turmoil, and i have putin. frankly, putin may be the easiest one of them all. but donald tusk, who we saw earlier, is clearly very concerned about the us president's relaxed attitude towards russia, and his hostility towards nato. europe was first to respond to the us when they were attacked and called for solidarity after 9/11. european soldiers have been fighting, shoulder to shoulder with american soldiers in afghanistan. 870 brave the europeans made
9:21 pm
sacrifices including soldiers from my homeland, poland. here mr president, please remember about this tomorrow when we meet the nato summit, but above all, when you need a president putin in helsinki. it is a lwa ys a president putin in helsinki. it is always with knowing who is your friend and who is your strategic problem. ifi if i made a list of all the things president trump could rest up vladimir putin, it would be a long list. but what does the white house he is the priority of the summit? when it comes to donald trump, as is on the meetings of the north korean leader as well, it is much more about personality, it's about a commitment to go for it, it's about showing bravado. and building a relationship. what worries a lot of
9:22 pm
critics is that the substance has not been there in these types of summits and they‘ re not been there in these types of summits and they're worried about it again when it comes to vladimir putin. and when it comes to all of next week, there are people here who are genuinely worried about how dangerous the situation is, it meaning allies in trying to get close to the latimer pruden, and someone over the the us drinks and snacks giant pepsico has unveiled its latest numbers, but what's interesting here is how eating habits are changing. it's soda sales in north america continued to fall, down 0.9%. salty snacks are up, though. its frito—lay division, which makes crips and snacks like doritos, saw sales soar by 4.3%. kim gittleson is in new york. could this mean pepsi might one day
9:23 pm
abandon its drinks business? right, so we are supposed to make edit there where quite mercurial when it comes our eating habits. then as presenting a significant challenge, drinks businesses, pepsi being one of them mountain dew, gatorade and the rest of the day that bridges, beverages, and as result, the company has been struggling a little bit because they're sort of, what do we do? we know that our core beverage businesses suffering, apparently soda sales the united states have hit a 30 year low this year, and as presenting the big challenges. and at the same time, they still want to consume salty snacks. so he said in a conference call, they are now maniacally focused in ensuring that
9:24 pm
their beverage business is in the recovery mode, they're going to spend more on advertising to try to compete with arrival and not give up the drinks business desk yet, even though many americans seem to no longer want those sugary sodas. they will carry on advertising the unhealthy sugar drinks and not come up unhealthy sugar drinks and not come up with some healthier alternatives? they have tried. they bought various brands, but they have not done very well and as a result, they sort of stolen market away from them pepsi and mountain dew and they're not selling point as well, they're doubling down, sugar—free gatorade and help consumers buy it. the boss of airbus has come out supporting theresa may's latest brexit plan tom enders says the "government is going in the right direction" and that the eu should be similarly pragmatic. 0ne economist assessing
9:25 pm
what's changed. they were threatening production, threatening to pull out from their plans in north wales and in bristol, and they were very much trying to strong—arm the government into dropping the brexit plan. so he is right to come out and say that this isa right to come out and say that this is a step in the right direction. if not, then he would really be questioning his motives. theresa may cannot go any further in these negotiations. that clip cut off a bit short. see you in a of minutes. hello, the weather has cooled down a
9:26 pm
bit in the uk. very dramatic and extreme weather elsewhere around the world. here we are in the west pacific, not follow from taiwan. this is a very strong type phone —— not far. making landfall on wednesday. dangerous winds here, very heavy rain. for the north, that is probably going to be pushed towards him north ofjapan is probably going to be pushed towards him north of japan at the moment, because of this powerful typhoon. there's more rain to come here. more downpour to come across indochina. some outbreaks here, looks very unsettling, thunderstorms are likely in bangkok, some in beijing as well. and also some for
9:27 pm
your shema. now this area of cloud cool storm chris, it is going to become a weak hurricane, it's gathering a bit of hurricane. this isa gathering a bit of hurricane. this is a thundercloud which is going to brings some heavy rain and thunderstorms as well, it's a monsoon in the southwest of the us and it is the downdraft that gives those dust storms nearly zero visibility. it is more heavy showers around here on wednesday. elsewhere across the deep south, that area of rain, that's hurricane moving northward at sea. so this is the long—range forecast, as you can see there's more sunshine in toronto and new york, but there is also more storms in phoenix that could does more damage as well. now here we are
9:28 pm
in pakistan and we have some monsoon rains in the north of the country, destroy elsewhere. but elsewhere —— dry elsewhere. we have some heavy rain warnings, and this ran in europe can be quite heavy, moving away from germany and the tendency is to push this rain more towards the north east of europe, allowing the north east of europe, allowing the heat to build and through the mediterranean it's going to look dry. it has cooled down a touch, but over the next few days that temperatures are set to rise again. by temperatures are set to rise again. by the weekend, there'll be some sunny spells with a few hit in this heavy showers. —— hit and miss. hello, i'm ros atkins,
9:29 pm
this is 0utside source. cheering the moment french fans in paris watched their team score the goal, which saw them beat belgium and book their place in the world cup final. cheering . all 12 boys and their football coach are out of the cave. president trump is in europe for a nato summit, a trip to the uk and a meeting with vladimir putin. guess which one he thinks will go smoothest? frankly putin may be the easiest of all, who would think? who would think? donald trump says uk politics is in turmoil. theresa may tried to show otherwise today, sharing this picture of a cabinet meeting. but two big names were missing after they resigned over brexit, and two more senior conservatives
9:30 pm
have resigned today. and how did the dinosaurs get so big? throw screen we can plug into all the feeds coming through bbc newsroom. this is what reuters is throwing us from the centre of paris of the moment. thousands of people gathering, lots of people in football shirts, their absolute thrill because france has beaten belgium, and they will be back in another majorfile. belgium, and they will be back in another major file. i belgium, and they will be back in another majorfile. i remember a few yea rs another majorfile. i remember a few years back at the euros hosted by
9:31 pm
france, everyone in paris expected france, everyone in paris expected france to beat portugal, but ronaldo and his colleagues had other ideas. france now has a chance to put that right. whoever wins croatia against england in the other semi, france will be the favourites to win the world cup. but this is water under the bridge until we talk about that. just astonishing to come in via reuters from paris. we will keep an eye on that. let's talk about british politics. here's theresa may tweeting earlier. "productive cabinet meeting this morning, looking ahead to a busy week." the message might be business as usual, but of course it's not. two men who aren't in that photo are david davis and borisjohnson, who both resigned from the cabinet yesterday and both did so but severely criticising the prime minister's approach to brexit. quite a few different pieces of video to show you. there's the new brexit secretary, dominic raab, arriving
9:32 pm
for that cabinet meeting. and jeremy hunt is the new foreign secretary. later in the day, mrs may hosted a summit in london on the western balkans, it's a measure of how things are, that the western balkans may have seemed like the easier subject to take on today. as well as brexit, bear in mind donald trump arrives in the uk on thursday. here's what he had to say. about the uk leg of his trip. but the uk certainly has... they have a lot of things going on. have you talked to theresa may since boris johnson left? i have not, no i have not. but borisjohnson is a friend of mine, he's been very, very nice to me, very supportive. and i maybe will speak to him when i get over there. i like boris johnson,
9:33 pm
i've always liked him. should theresa may remain in power? well, that's up to the people. i get along with her very well, we have a very good relationship. that's certainly up to the people, not up to me. a few things to complicate things there, if donald trump speaks to the foreign secretary before things play out. i'm looking forward to seeing it president trump not only at the nato summit, which is coming up the next couple of days, but obviously when he comes to the united kingdom at the end of the week. there is much rusted discuss, the special relationship we have at the us is our longest and deepest defence and security relationship, so we'll be talking about those issues. also talking about those issues. also talking about those issues. also talking about trade issues, as we know there are particular issues between the eu and united states because of the trade tariffs, when
9:34 pm
he imposed those tariffs on steel and aluminium. and the eu responded. but we will be talking positively about how we can continue to work together in our special relationship for the good of people living in the uk and the united states, and actually for the wider good, because thatis actually for the wider good, because that is what our relationship has helped to underpin, the security of europe and more widely. a number of ways we could illustrate the pressure being exerted on theresa may. this graphic is one. out of theresa may's original cabinet members from 2017, eight have gone for one reason or another. huge posts having to be located for one reason or another. but she still has some supporters, one is sir michael fallon. they have cleared the air now. the rest of the cabinet are completely behind the plan, and i think what the resignations have done is demonstrated that there is no alternative.
9:35 pm
there is no other plan when it comes to the trade, the manufactured goods, the food that we send to europe. there is no other plan, we have to have as smooth access is possible to that existing home market. whatever new opportunities to want to pursue around the rest of the world, we have to have access to the european market. and to have that market, we have to pay for it. today we've had the resignation of two conservative party vice chairs. "you may well not have heard of them but it's warning from disgruntled tories that they are capable of continuing to inflict damage on the pm unless she changes tack". and the change of tack they want is away from the approach to brexit that the cabinet agreed to on friday. joining me now live from westminster is bbc political correspondent, iain watson. where to start with all this? let's
9:36 pm
start with the status of the checkers plan. is it still in place, and what could the more hardline brexiteers do to derail it? it is still in place, and downing street are making it clear they do not wish to compromise on it. the tension comes from some of these people who might be willing to support it if this is the government's final position, meaning no further compromises but brussels, but they are not sure that'll be the case, and the prime minister in eight questions and duncan smith. there are those who are opposed to it completely, they think she is too close to the eu. the question is, what can they do about a? we could still see a drip of smaller resignations, to conservative vice—chairman don today. the
9:37 pm
government's praise the plan will be out on thursday, some otherjunior ministers do not like that, that would put some pressure on the prime minister. what has also been talked about behind the scenes by long—standing league campaigners is whether they can try to get the prime minister to change her mind by taking a step in the next few weeks to not support the government's on brexit legislation on customs and trade in the next few weeks. they may tied to change the policy. if they fail to do that, the question is how many of them will be willing to vote with the opposition to vote down some of the key things in the government's programme unless and until the prime minister changes her mind. so she has certainly survived the fall initially from the checkers, but she is not... up pressure will be applied to her in a number of different ways. there's also some for people, brexiteers,
9:38 pm
for the initial draft of the government's draft —— document to be published, because they think that will look very different from what was agreed at checkers. they believe david davis was planning something different, and it has to be something they can rally around as an alternative. all the things going on at the moment, not quite clear yet how it will play out. thank you. yesterday i showed you these historic pictures. these are the eritrean and ethiopian leaders signing a declaration to end a state of war between their countries that has lasted 20 years. today, we're seeing some immediate consequences. "families speak after 20 years as ethiopia restores phones to eritrea." also, ethiopian airlines says flights will resume daily to asmara, the eritrean capital. and ethiopia has officially
9:39 pm
requested that the united nations lift sanctions against eritrea. this conflict goes back to a civil war fought between 1988—2000, in which 80,000 people were killed. a un—brokered peace deal awarded disputed territories like the town of badme to eritrea. ethiopia had always refused to implement that arrangement, until now. in this article by the bbc‘s africa editor fergal keane, fergal argues this is largely due to ethiopia's new prime minister. i asked nancy kacungira if she agreed this was the case. it certainly is. we are talking about a conflict that has lasted two decades and appears to be coming to an end in a matter of days. and this
9:40 pm
is not really the first we're hearing of a possible and to the ethiopia — eritrea conflict. there have been talks behind—the—scenes, we know the us special envoy was having talks with the ep at —— ethiopia and eritrea. ethiopia's ruling party last year also said they will change relations. but this has come as a bit of a shock, the speed and enthusiasm with which this new leader has taken up this responsibility to say that things must change now. so he is definitely... he has changed things around quickly. but what is his political calculation? because he will be thinking about how this plays back within ethiopian politics. how has he calculated that this is now a potentially popular move? he has really stood on a platform of reform. that's what he stands for, that's what people expect from him. in every way he is
9:41 pm
challenging the status quo, and that is what he has done since he took office. he has released political prisoners, condemned the state's on treatment of prisoners. this is the first time that people will be able to fly between ethiopia and eritrea. just today, this was the first time that phone relations were opened between the two countries. so this is adding to his narrative that he is adding to his narrative that he is about reform and expecting that back home, that daredevil welbeck him. he is serious about his word and he will do for ethiopia but he is doing for the relations with eritrea as well. eritrea is sometimes referred to as africa's north korea. why do some people make that connection? eritrea has been isolated for a very long time. part of that is self—imposed. we know that sanctions were placed on eritrea, and this was at the behest of ethiopia, who accused eritrea of playing a destabilising role in
9:42 pm
harbouring terrorists and extremists. so that has really played to this narrative of eritrea's not playing well with others, so to speak. this is obviously good news for eritrea and ethiopia, but more broadly about africa, can we talk about having ramifications beyond the two countries? absolutely, this is sending a huge message across the continent. a lot of people be latching on to how this is a very young leader, the youngest leader in the continent at 42 years of age. he comes from a community that is seen as marginalised in ethiopian politics for the most part. so he is really sending a message here that the only thing that changed his leadership. and for a lot of africans, they will be looking at that as wanting more from their leaders. the same will happen in eritrea, it will be quite difficult to continue with business as usual when you have a neighbour doing the kinds of things he is doing next—door. so this is certainly a very positive message to of people across the continent. says nancy from bbc africa. the
9:43 pm
death toll injapan is over 150, over 50 others are missing. we'll look into the weather that has caused this. the former foreign secretary lord carrington, the last surviving minister to have held office under winston churchill, has died aged 99. his domestic political career was ended by the invasion of the falkland islands. lord carrington resigned because his department had failed to predict that argentina would invade. carolyn quinn looks back at his life. like many of his generation, peter carrington's political views were coloured by his experiences in the second world war. from the age of 19—25, one had the second world war. you lost one a big chunk of your life. 0n the other hand, it was an experience, which of course i don't think anybody who hadn't been in that
9:44 pm
period of time would understand. an hereditary peer, he served as defence secretary under edward heath. when the conservatives returned to power, margaret thatcher appointed him foreign secretary. he chaired the lancaster house talks in 1979, which ended the guerrilla war in rhodesia and paved the way for multiracial elections in the new zimbabwe. the invasion of the falklands in 1982 highlighted failures in the foreign office. it was blamed for ignoring warnings of argentine intentions. by the time the british task force left to liberate the islands, lord carrington had resigned as foreign secretary. he spent four years as nato's secretary—general before in his 70s, taking on the role of the eu mediator in a disintegrating yugoslavia. he travelled extensively in the balkans to negotiate cease—fires and seek a settlement.
9:45 pm
but pauses in the complex and savage civil war were brief. in 1994, he mediated in a quarrel between the anc and the zulu inkatha party, which threatened to delay racial elections in south africa. a natural diplomat, it was the last of many services to his country and to peacemaking in a long time. —— in a long lifetime. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story. cheering the moment french fans in paris saw their team score the goal, which saw them beat belgium and book their place in the world cup final. they will play croatia or england in the world cup final. the death toll of flooding in western japan has passed 150. another 67 people are still missing.
9:46 pm
these are the latest pictures we have of the rescue mission. this is a residential area of hiroshima, where teams are trying to dig through the mud to find survivors. this is now japan's worst weather disaster for over 35 years. the 0kayama and hiroshima regions have been born this brunt of this with two million people being displaced in the last week. more than 200,000 people are still without running water. and while this is all happening, temperatures are reaching over 30 degrees. if we look at what's happening across the northern hemisphere this summer, some areas are seeing extreme heat, and others, above average rainfall. here's the un weather agency. as we always say, no specific event can be attributed to climate change. but what we're seeing is consistent

with climate change scenarios. extreme heat, consistent heat, persistent heat, and heavy precipitation. japan is one of the best prepared countries in the world, when it comes to disaster risk reduction, disaster response. they are supremely well prepared, and so the magnitude of the casualties of the destruction we're seeing now really is an indication of just how seeing now really is an indication ofjust how big and how extreme this was, and how heavy the rainfall was in sucha was, and how heavy the rainfall was in such a short period of time. here's an update from our correspondent, lisa hampele. as the death toll in western japan continues to rise, thousands of emergency workers have joined continues to rise, thousands of emergency workers havejoined in, helping with recovery effort. it's been the worst flooding in more than three decades, and dozens of people are still missing. this man thinks the clean—up will take at least six months. he has no money and hopes

his insurance will pay up. rescue workers are struggling to restore utilities. power supplies are down, and hundreds of thousands of people are without water. this man has lived in the area for 80 years, but has never seen floods like this. industrial production has been hard hit. workers at this riverside factory a re hit. workers at this riverside factory are having to destroy damaged stock. company potters think it will take a month to return to normal output. tens of thousands of people are living in emergency shelters in temperatures up to 33 celsius. this president is staying here for now because his home has been flooded up to the second floor. he says he can't go back because there's no electricity, no water, and no gas. for him and many others, places like this will be their home for some time to come.

turning back to one of the bigger stories of last month. the us government has failed to reunite all the children under five who were separated from their parents at the us—mexico border. the deadline was imposed by a federaljudge. these are some of pictures of children who have been held in detention under president donald trump's zero—tolerance policy on the border. president trump then signed an executive order ending something that he'd started. more than 2,300 children were split up from their families. their parents were taken into custody with the authorities saying they'd be prosecuted for illegally crossing the border. some of them say they are seeking asylum, which ought to mean their claim should be heard. 102 of the childen are under the age of five, media reports say so far less than half of them have been reunited with their parents.
9:50 pm
that of course leaves over 2,000 other children, many of whom still wait to see their parents. earlier president trump talked about the missed deadline. i have a solution! tell people not to come to our country illegally! that's the solution! don't come to our country illegally! , like other people do, come illegally! of course the point mr trump's many critics point out here is that children don't choose where they go, adults do. nada tawfik, new york. are there any consequences of the deadline being passed ? are there any consequences of the deadline being passed? the federal judge has said this is a firm deadline, not aspirational goals, and the government will face penalties if they do not reunite the
9:51 pm
children. and in this lawsuit brought by the aclu, the federal judge had the government give a very detailed list of all the 102 children and what efforts they are making to reunite them. they say four have been reunited with their families, 3a others will be by the end of the deadline. but they said that they have logistical impediments for the other cases, and they also cited in some instances that parents had criminal records, they had issues with reuniting children with them who are in criminal custody, or some of the adults they travelled with what other parents. the aclu has said that this is a problem of the government's making, that these children are stranded here because of the government's policies, and in some case of the government has not even tried to reach the parents who we re even tried to reach the parents who were deported to try to reunite them. and it has said that the government is making this very burdensome to finish all of these cases so children can get back to theirfamilies. cases so children can get back to their families. let's come back to

that later on in the week, thank you very much. let's learn about new fossils that have been found, and which may explain why some dinosaurs became so big. scientists found four skeletons in the northwest of argentina. and helen briggs can explain what they've taught us. we're all fascinated by dinosaurs, and one of the big things that fascinates people is that they are massive, they've grown to massive proportions. we don't have animals that big any more, so how did they get so big? and this is much earlier than we thought we had, in terms of gigantic dinosaurs. if you think of massive dinosaurs, you think of longnecked and long tails, four legs, great huge things. this was approaching that in proportion, but came much earlier in the evolutionary history. so it's changing what we know about the
9:53 pm
evolution of dinosaurs. and what do we know about what was driving the evolution? whited evolutionary process create these beasts? that's a really good question. they had this niche to move into other things that have gone extinct, they can get really big. and they did this in different ways. this earlier dinosaur, which was discovered and what is now argentina, was then this massive supercontinent, seem to have these massive growth spurts. they conceived in the bones that it had these massive growth spurts all the time, and it also had lungs a bit like birdlike lungs that gave it enough oxygen to keep it cool. so something in the biology, the anatomy of these dinosaurs allowed them to grow into these giants, which is never —— has never really been repeated on land. see you tomorrow. tuesday was a little less stifling

for many, partly because the humidity dropped and partly because we had more of a breeze. we lose both of those in the coming few days. compared with a 31 on monday, 26 on tuesday, temperatures will start to steadily recover over the next few days. we've had plenty of sunshine anyways despite the dip in temperature during the day on tuesday. we also had some appreciable rain, nearly an inch apart —— across parts of scotland. bringing potentially the first appreciable rain in a three weeks. still for the western side of scotland, eastern scotland, the bulk of england and wales, they will have a decent day once again. plenty of zip —— sunshine, possibly a wrote a
9:55 pm
shower. temperatures 2425 degrees. the process continues —— 24—25d. temperatures continue to rise, there may just be enough temperatures continue to rise, there mayjust be enough energy and atmosphere to sparked a few showers. again are temperatures are 1—2d above wednesday, the he is climbing and we're losing the breeze, and the humidity will start to lose by. still have that ridge of high pressure holding on by friday, but again, we're starting to set the scene for some sharper showers and potentially a few more of them on friday as the heat builds again. so so you will notice is showers will be heavy and sundry as temperatures start to get towards the high 20s. exceptin start to get towards the high 20s. except in the northern west where it looks wet and —— nice and dry. but you can see a sign of change, that
9:56 pm
low pressure will close in in the northwest uk into the weekend. high pressure for most of us, increasingly hot weather. but for parts of northern ireland and scotland, it will be a bit breezy or, cloutier and wetter at times, particularly saturday. temperatures will be down here in the teens, but we could get towards 30 degrees on saturday and sunday, because that weather front is fairly weak before it starts moving south on sunday. perhaps the focus for a few showers, but most of those will be in the north and west. so you can see that temperature contrast towards wimbledon on sunday. what about beyond sunday? someone said let me show you why. a tropical storm, tropical storm chris will be putting some energy into the atlantic weather, and it's some energy into the atlantic weather, and its expected to track from the east coast of the united states across the now. it's debatable as to whether it's going to end up. it is days on the cold

side of ourjet stream, it will sit to the northwest of the uk, giving showery weather for a time. but if it sits closer he will give a couple of cooler, wetter and breezy or days. the other scenario is able and towards spain. pulling in some hotter southeasterly winds across the uk. see you could get hotter still as we head into next week. evenif still as we head into next week. even if it does go to the northwest, it's likely that temperatures will stay above where they should be this time of year. but clearly there is some uncertainty, the models are certainly differing in their opinions. we will keep you updated. sunny spells with a few hit in this heavy showers. —— hit and miss. tonight at 10: a remarkable rescue brings out all 12 boys and their football coach, who'd been trapped in a flooded cave in thailand. cheering

the rescue mission captured global attention. the last of the group was rescued 17 days after they went missing. officials say the group is likely to stay in quarantine, away from their families, because of the risk of infection. rescue teams were praised for bringing the boys out through tunnels, which narrowed to just 15 inches at one point. translation: we completed a mission that was deemed by many as impossible. it was the first time in the world. we'll have the story of the rescue, and we'll be asking how soon the group can be reunited with theirfamilies. also tonight...
