and in tennis — roger federer crashes out of wimbledon after missing a match point in the third set against eighth seed kevin anderson. england has taken an early lead in its first world cup semifinalfor 28 years. kieran trippier‘s goal in the first five minutes puts this side ahead of any previous england world cup line up, including the team that won the tournament in 1966. under manager gareth southgate, the players appear ready to break any and all records that stand in their way. well this is how fans reacted to that keiran trippier of england scored the first goal from a free kick in the fifth minute if it continues as the first half

has proceeded who knows how wet he will be. that's an awful lot of beer and maybe one or two. going to be sticky by the end of the match. richard askham is in manchester with fans watching the game. was it as messy with you as it was at hyde park? 0h, was it as messy with you as it was at hyde park? oh, yes, you can imagine. 8000 fans here at the arena and they went absolutely crazy. he's and they went absolutely crazy. he's a local legend just a few miles away from manchester and as local pride here as well. what a fantastic goal as well, curled into the top corner after a foul. the fans almost saw england a double their lead with harry kane with a chance asjessica, half of this crowd will be a manchester united fan or thereabouts. everybody here is in

great spirits, croatia of chorus came into its a little bit. a few nerves overall but you can imagine it. beer went out to everybody cheering, that song the football is coming home. we shall see another 45 minutes ago at half—time here fingers crossed and everything is going to plan. everyone in a wonderful mood. thank you very much and we will talk to a little bit later. let's head over to southgate in north london where our it might as well be called gareth southgate. correspondent noel phillips is with fans at the aptly named southgate club. very exciting, people have taken their seats and again mr started again at the bar waiting for another goal. we don't want it to end here. those were the words of gareth southgate a little earlier today and people want england to go all the way to the finals and also what's interesting is throughout this world

cupa interesting is throughout this world cup a lot of attention has been on gareth southgate hence where we are in this venue here in north london. all the attention focused on gareth because of his fashion choice, he loves to wear waistcoats and they are a big deal and hence why i am wearing one. this man is also wearing one. this man is also wearing one. this man is also wearing one. terry the butler.m looks better on me than it does on you. terry, you've seen a few world cups, how does this compare to all the others? so far, i am so impressed with the quality of the team that we have got, and i'm impressed with southgate as a manager over a player. we can actually see the team are proud to be playing for england whereas with back him and the others they had

individual egos. they did not want to share on this. this is a squad where there are no big standout stars, everybody are on the same playing field. everybody is going along and taking it in stride. playing field. everybody is going along and taking it in stridem makes life easier. i like southgate asa makes life easier. i like southgate as a player, and he has come through and proven himself to him and all the players have done this country so the players have done this country so well to get to where they are at this moment. hopefully it finishes 2-0. what would it mean for you if gareth southgate and the lads make it to finals. i would probably be drunk for days. i'll be so pleased because i was 12 when england won the world cup in 66. for them to win

tonight and win against france sunday would be fantastic. would be the best birthday present. and the new waistcoat, obviously. that shows you how excited people are, a lot of expectation and pressure on the england manager gareth southgate. so far, it's remaining 1—0. england manager gareth southgate. so far, it's remaining 1-0. they're just kicking the ball around a little bit. stand up and give us a twirl, we might as well see what the viewers have to expect. 0n twirl, we might as well see what the viewers have to expect. on your feet. there you go. worth every penny. thank you so much. we had expended on that one. our sports news correspondent 0lly foster is in moscow. looking dapper without a waistcoat.

summarize, if you can that first half for us. it was a thing of beauty. dele alli had been fouled just outside the box and trippier has been lauded for his right foot, he is on the right when he was also free cake duty as well and he curled a sublime free kick into the top right—hand corner and that com pletely right—hand corner and that completely stunned to the croatians. england driving forward, raheem sterling going through the channels of harry kane outside a couple of times and forced a really good save and england might have put themselves to having zero out. it is felt that croatia forced a decent save out of jordan felt that croatia forced a decent save out ofjordan pickford and he has not had that much to do so far. little moment of drama towards

half—time, but actually the referee blew his whistle for half—time, the players were trudging off and use said hang about a minute, players were trudging off and use said hang abouta minute, my players were trudging off and use said hang about a minute, my video referees might have spotted something from england as they were defending a corner. wejust kind of tripped over his own feet under pressure from harry maguire. it remains one having zero but my word this is farfrom over. a0 minutes left to play in a little bit of injury time. mostly inside his dugout butjust urging the players to find their shape because this is such a dangerous croatian side, the croatian side might be fatigued as they have come through to penalty shoot out the knockout stages as opposed to england pop back up single one. they have several great players and a wonderful goalkeeper as well. croatia looking for their

first world cup final. 20 years since they made their world cup and have the semi finals when they should have beat the french in 98, the french going on to win that. it was the french who are waiting for the winters here. that final in four days' time. striking when you look at the statistics, looking at every positive we can find. 0ne at the statistics, looking at every positive we can find. one more goal now many even managed in 1966, year england one. they're up to 12 now and at the moment they're emulating those names from 1990. paul gascoyne, gary linacre, david platz. that was a magnificent team that got knocked out in 90 on penalties by

germany. if england can talk this out for another 35 or a0 minutes than their names will be rich and very large along the sides of charlton, hearst, alan ball, gordon banks, styles, and then have to go wa nt to banks, styles, and then have to go want to be even more famous and actually win it as well, but this is the kind of territory that we are in right now with this england team. just visit the harry kane a crunched again by croatians, they're putting in some meaty tax at the moment. england are standing up to them, and they are leading 1—0. they are less than a0 minutes away from a world cup final. still time for a touch of harry in the night. well, we can now speak to our correspondent , chris slegg,

who's in hyde park in central london with 30,000 fans. the three lions has worked everyone into a further —— fervor. straight through from kick off to get that early goal. this place absolutely erupted, the beers were thrown sky high as we have seen since the weekend those pictures we have seen all of the country fans chucking their beers into the air unable to cover and just how close england are toa cover and just how close england are to a place in the world cup final. a lot of cautious optimism before kick—off and that remains the case. give way now to bullish believe that england really might just give way now to bullish believe that england really mightjust do this. it seems ridiculous to say that, and if there were of course heads in their hands when harry kane missed

that double chance and to have given england breathing space would have meant so much. another 35 minutes at least plus injury time. nervous moments and certainly a belief now seeping in that england mightjust make it to their first world cup final for 52 years. thank you very much. we will hear for all of them a little later in the programme as we approach a full—time in that match. let's move other stories. donald trump has quarrelled publicly with the german chancellor, angela merkel, over levels of defence spending and alleged russian influence over germany. the two are attending the nato summit in brussels. president trump then following which mr trump will then visit the uk before travelling to helsinki for one—on—one talks with president putin of russia. mr trump said it was totally inappropriate for germany to pay russia billions of dollars for oil and gas while failing to spend sufficient money on defence. 0ur europe editor katya adler reports on a tense opening

to this year's nato summit. such careful choreography. not showy, but precise. disciplined detail at this opening ceremony for the nato summit. nato boasts that it's in control and ready to take on modern—day threat. cybercrime, cross—border terror. concerns about russia. but there's one big element here that nato can't control, donald trump. the man who openly scolds his allies, who speaks warmly of the presidents of russia and north korea, and who clearly wants to upend the workings of this decades—old alliance. newsreel: the north atlantic defence committee composed of the 12 atlantic pact nations, meets for the first time... nato, the north atlantic alliance, was set up to guarantee european security after the horrors of world war ii. thank you. the united states has always been the groups most powerful member.

but donald trump now demands european countries pay their way. you know, we're protecting germany, we're protecting france, we're protecting everybody and yet we're paying a lot of money to protect. i think it's very unfair to our country, it's very unfair to our tax payers. then this astonishing, blistering attack on nato ally germany, for its plan to build a pipeline with russia. but germany is totally controlled by russia. because they will be getting from 60 to 70% of their energy from russia and i think that's very inappropriate. for her part, the german chancellor was mentally prepared today for a ding—dong with donald trump. he has attacked her before over trade and nato spending and now her country's admittedly controversial energy deals with russia. water off a duck‘s back, was the subtext of her response. germany makes its own decisions and decides its own politics, she said.

so is nato, the cornerstone of european security, falling apart before our eyes? n ot exa ctly. the us is more involved than ever in nato missions and donald trump blows hot as well as cold when it comes to the alliance. beset by problems at home, the prime minister came here determined not to trip up. at least when it came to president trump. we're announcing today that we will be deploying an additional aao personnel to nato's resolute support mission in afghanistan and i think that shows when nato calls, the uk is one of the first to step up. the right honourable theresa may... just for good measure, theresa may also underlined that the uk was paying its way when it comes to military spending. nato leaders are off now for dinner where they will keep talking and possibly arguing. a big question donald trump's allies have for him is about his one—to—one meeting with russian president vladimir putin next week. katya adler, bbc news, brussels. general sir richard barrons

is one of the signatories to an advert in the times today, which says president trump's criticism of the amount european countries spend on their own defence needs to be answered. nor does the uk escape criticism. thank you for being with us here on bbc news. went regard donald trump asa bbc news. went regard donald trump as a bull in bowl and a china shop. he wisely said nothing but leaving aside the way he touches himself is there merit in his argument? he is only saying what political leaders have been saying for a long time which as we all buy into collective security in the us is paying much more than its fair share, and it wa nts to more than its fair share, and it wants to put that right. in terms of how we figure we have heard from the government including the defence

secretary that britain is spending ever more on defence and we are meeting the nato commitment. ever more on defence and we are meeting the nato commitmentm ever more on defence and we are meeting the nato commitment. it was agreed that wales summit when we we re agreed that wales summit when we were the hosts david cameron, and it might be left with the oppression there's nothing left to worry about. this good news and bad news, we are spending around 2% of gdp so we are holding up ourend spending around 2% of gdp so we are holding up our end of the rule but we are at the bottom end of the slide which is lasted 25 years since the cold war. we have been able to ta ke the cold war. we have been able to take a risk with our defence budget has gotten smaller and hollowed out and less effective and less technology. that did not matter for a really long time. now it really matters because the way the world has turned up. we have to ask ourselves some hard questions about how much we want to spend to defend our homeland. the armed forces are not able to do that in the way that they need to. it's going to cost us to look that more money to do it right. your advert is pretty blunt.

because rebuilding our hollowed out and key front—line capabilities. you only need to rebuild them if they are, as you only need to rebuild them if they are, as you say hollowed out. that's are, as you say hollowed out. that's a pretty damning criticism. it is, it's not new and we should be absolutely clear we can explain why we are where we are because for many yea rs we are where we are because for many years after the cold war we really did not need to fear as an existential level the safety of the uk but now we do have to worry about how people can threaten us and this is partly because of the way war is fought changes and technology has moved on and method has moved on. people who we are not on good terms with can really hurt us and we need to do better. what did you make of tropopause the criticism of germany suggesting that its energy dependency, which after all is also about security, it is energy dependency makes it vulnerable to russia and it needs to change that? i don't think it's a surprise that

germany carries some vulnerability to the knots of gas it gets from russia, that means that if russia we re russia, that means that if russia were to turn it off germany would have serious problems in particular with the winter, but germany is not reliant on russia. it has run its armed forces down and a lot of what it has is not ready to go to war, they need to spend more money. although submarines are out of service, the condition of their ta nks service, the condition of their tanks is poor, frankly the condition of their personnel is not its best. and people are using broom handles a of guns. that's not true everywhere but it does not paint an attractive picture and as part of our defence of western europe. they have demobilized its armed forces because they have not felt the need to do any different. not even germany will have to do things differently and it will have to spend more money, and you cannot spend this in a rush, you have to spend wisely on different technology. the fact is right now germany is not holding up its end of the bargain in the way that most of

us the bargain in the way that most of us would like it too. for britain is an interesting letter which was lea ked an interesting letter which was leaked as these things are from james madison to the us defence secretary saying if britain does not act soon on this question it will be to france that america looks for its key d efe nce to france that america looks for its key defence decisions with looking at western europe, how worried should we be beyond just a question of pride, because our pride would be ha rd of pride, because our pride would be hard but in practical terms should we be worried? we should be worried because by a very long distance a net beneficiary of the relationship with the united states armed forces. we get a lot of help and information from them. we should not want to jeopardise that because it would cost us a fortune to try and replace it. we don't want to see ourselves ina it. we don't want to see ourselves in a competition with france, we wa nt to in a competition with france, we want to see ourselves as the two european partners most minded to make their way in the world when it becomes necessary. briefly, what should be the rarities if we want to

begin turning this around? the immediate priority is spend about two and a half billion pounds a to stabilise the defence programme and whilst it's being stabilised stop and have a proper strategic think about defence in the 21st century. thank you very much for being with us thank you very much for being with us this evening. the headlines on bbc news. fans in hyde park — and across the uk — go wild, after england's tripper scores a stunning goal in the first five minutes of their semifinal match with croatia. consternation at nato headquarters as us president donald trump says allies must increase spending on defence. it comes after he also said germany was being ‘totally controlled' by russia. new pictures emerge of the operation to rescue 12 boys and their football coach from caves in thailand — it's been revealed they were heavily sedated to stop them panicking. there has been some drama in

wimbledon as well. to tell us all about it is will perry. let's start with the world cup because the semi final against croatia into the second half of the stadium in moscow and as you just heard a good leading bya and as you just heard a good leading by a goal. temporary free kick in the fifth minute. trippier target just outside and dipping over the wall to give gareth southgate's side the perfect start. harry kane has also come close. two crucial touches to him make it. over an hour played him the winner will take on france in sunday's world cup final. a big shock at wimbledon today as john mentioned the eight times champion roger federer out after losing in five sets to kevin anderson at the quarterfinal stage. more is

creditable ten. roger federer has not graced court number one at wimbledon for three years. if unfamiliarity with an issue it did not show up early on. after 26 minutes the first set was over, and federer looked in full control. looks can be deceiving, and kevin anderson won the next three games become in the first player to break federer potluck served at wimbledon with 85 attempts. they reinvigorated the defending champion who forced a tie—breaker and then went to set up. anderson was still fighting, though and he started playing shots his opponent would have been proud of. and then saved a match point before taking the third set in trademark style. all the momentum was now with the eighth seed and he made it count taking the match to a deciding set. the two then helped serve for an

incredible 22 games before federer could hold no more. anderson could and in doing so knocked out the eight time champion and an incredible comeback. it is kept on telling myself, you know, i have to keep believing and adjust to it saying today was going to be my day because you really need that mindset taking the court again somebody like roger. if you go out there with doubts or unsure of what is going to happen like nab did in the first set, it's not going to be going your way. as a matter of that ijust kept telling myself this is going to be my day. give all and obviously very ecstatic to get through that. novak djokovic book his place in the semi finals. he reached his first grand slam semi finals since 2015. it

feels great to be in the last four of the slam. i have been building, it's looking like and it felt like it's looking like and it felt like it was getting better as matches and time went on. i feel like i'm peeking at the right moment, but the first time in the semi finals, i've been here before but i will try to enjoy this victory. live pictures from bbc two right now, rafael nadal is onset. hoping to win wimbledon for a third time. this one has gone toa for a third time. this one has gone to a fifth set as you can see. he has the crucial break in that fed said. that would going right to the wire of record number one we lost the level and he's not little now he's leading. john isner by two sets to one. is in or up five games to three. a good match, you can keep up

with those. 16 stages to go to the tour de france, but we have not seen a lot of major contenders yet. the world champion sprinted to victory on stage five and chris froome survived the minor problem with his bike, he's up from 18th overall to 15. 57 seconds off the lead, they'll up 15. 57 seconds off the lead, they'll up like greg keeps the lead. he finished seventh today and they held off the field for his second stage win of the year. the reason why was posted there, sean, croatia have just equalised against england in the world cup semi final. came across the six yard box so 1—1 with across the six yard box so 1—1 with a round 70 minutes played. we will have more for you and the latest from moscow sports day. see you then. he just from moscow sports day. see you then. hejust rubs it in. ithinki better say thank you. we will see

you later. the first pictures have emerged of the 12 thai boys rescued from flooded caves along with their football coach. they're all now being treated in hospital. new information has been released which reveals just how complex the rescue operation had become. it's been confirmed that the boys were heavily sedated, ahead of the rescue effort, to prevent them panicking in the dark, narrow, passageways, some of which were underwater. 0ur correspondent lucy williamson reports. these are the luckiest boys in thailand. still weak, still in quarantine, these pictures the first we've seen since a rescue diver filmed them huddled together in the cave. their schoolboy poses for the camera hiding the miracle that they are here at all. what happened here at the cave over the past two weeks inspired horror, then awe, and now curiosity. a dozen boys who couldn't dive or even swim, trapped two miles inside the cave. rescuers said the biggest risk was that they would simply panic. so how did they get them out?

the incredible story of their rescue from tham luang is onlyjust emerging. this is the first footage of the mission itself. each boy wrapped in a special kind of stretcher and carried along by hand. in parts of the cave where it was impossible to stand, rescuers built a complex system of pulleys to transport them out. and where it was flooded, scuba divers strapped the children underneath them and carried them through. a feat described by one rescuer as superhuman. several sources have told the bbc the boys were sedated during the journey. watch his arm. not unusual for normal mountain rescues, experts say, but much riskier with children and scuba diving conditions. you have to be real. we think that our plan is perfect. we try and try and try. we test and test and test.

it's ok. and you've got the best team so you have to believe them. leaving from chiang rai airport tonight, the british cave diver who starred in a rescue denied he was a hero. it's not like that. if you could do the same for someone else's child, you would. i hope. but what most people see when they look at the rescuers and the boys is the most incredible show of courage from one, from the other, incredible trust. lucy williamson, bbc news, chiang rai. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. police the weather has been playing today. a crossing of the wells dry weather was sunny spells coming in for most. a different story for the north and west we have seen bitter clouds of the day and that's going to stay with us overnight. parts of scotla nd to stay with us overnight. parts of scotland northern ireland going to bring a few patches of light rain on

and off. many of us having a dry night into burger is probable overnight 11 to 1a degrees angle a bit warmer than match in cardiff with lows of 17. tomorrow quite a bit of clout to store the date we will see sunny spells coming through in the best of these across england and wales. however as we head for the afternoon we're going to see a line of heavy infantry showers form stretching from galloway into western parts of england and wales as well. with no showers comes the risk of some pretty heavy rain, some of the showers will turn thundery in nature as for the two mergers go with a bit more sunshine around it will be a little bit warmer with highs reaching 26 in london. celebrating after england, scored in the first five minutes of the semifinal match with croatia croatia

scored to make it one nail. and across the uk — celebrated after england's tripper scores in the first five minutes of their semi—final match we're protecting germany, we're protecting france, where protecting everybody, and yet we're paying a lot of money to protect. i think it's very unfair to our country, it's very unfair to our taxpayers. new pictures emerge of the operation to rescue 12 boys and their football coach from caves in thailand — it's been revealed they were heavily sedated to stop them panicking. a company that offers pregnant women and new parents health advice and gifts, faces a fine of £1a0,000 from the uk's data watchdog for illegally sharing more than a million people's personal data with the labour party. and in tennis — roger federer crashes out of wimbledon after missing a match point in the third set against eighth seed kevin anderson. it is game on in moscow at englands world cup semi final intuit

i , these are the pictures we're going to ta ke , these are the pictures we're going to take a look at the live pictures now, as slightly more subdued mood in the last five minutes or so, last six minutes, because england's lead which held out, disappeared and is now one nail, after, this is the scene in bristol, a summer evening across the uk, it all was euphoric in the first half, while at the half—time, we will see the crowds in manchester as well, they are mesmerized by what they are seeing an increasingly tense. these are pictures of little earlier, they have less than 15 minutes left in

the second half, on the injury time thatis the second half, on the injury time that is still to be played. and the score is england one, croatia one, that second croatian goal. it percent will change in the mood?l lot cheers and disappointment when croatia scored, everybody watching the game. if there is a goal while i am talking to you, you may not be able to hear me because of this another goal from croatia, you'll see the look of disappointment on peoples faces. but let's remember how significant today is, the last animated as far was back in 1990. that's when margaret thatcher was prime minister that's when elton john was number one in the charts. the people are hoping that the

people of england can unite and join people of england can unite and join people together but this really special moment and i'm going to try to talk to a few friends who, big world cup fans, they have been following england pretty much all their lives and you remember, 1966 very well. tell me how this game comparison which are watching right now. it's very similar to the game against portugal when england took the lead and why the top players of the lead and why the top players of the time, equalised and eventually england came through with a winning goal. it's a very similar game to that, can go either way. and if we fast—forwa rd that, can go either way. and if we fast—forward to 1990, they were in italy obviously planning. when you look back and see how that game was, are you giving a feeling that this game could potentially end of that same way? no, because then we were

not able to win the end of the shoot out, now i think we can. that is the difference. we lost to germany and it goes the extra time in germany want. that's 20 years,. germany one on penalties, that was the only difference and the result of the game. they were good enough to win. we have broken that penalty play. that penalty curse is gone, we can live again happily, this will not happen, if it goes to penalties, we will win this hyping. happen, if it goes to penalties, we will win this hypinglj happen, if it goes to penalties, we will win this hyping. i love the optimism. but i decide to say, it does not work out but england could potentially... reed england overachieved in this world cup no

one ever expected england to get into the semifinals, despite all of the talk, it was never expected. and they can still overachieved, but he can hold his head up high, they have done better than they were expected of this young new team. this is a young and inexperienced team that done tremendously well and have united and are working well and for the first time, and 25 years, england, going into the world cup, attacking, not defensive, not, it is attacking, not defensive, not, it is a huge difference. 17 players on the england squad, the last world cup game. so it is quite shrinking, it is quite incredible does watching the game. there are all pundits,

they are comrades on the sidelines. it isa they are comrades on the sidelines. it is a huge difference, whether we win or lose, we have done outstandingly well and it's fantastic, a good team that really made it exciting, and we look forward to the european cup in two is times, and will do well there as well. still a long way to go, you get a sense that people are still confident, they're still optimistic that england can do it and make it to the finals, i can tell you, that england did attempt to score a few months ago, but they missed. england did attempt to score a few months ago, but they missedlj england did attempt to score a few months ago, but they missed. i tell you what, you and your friends, depending on the outcome, we may have to come back to you since you mentioned, we will see how it goes. thank you very much. facebook is to be fined 500 thousand pounds

by the information commissioner, the maximum fine possible for misuse of data in the uk. the regulator has been investigating how the details of tens of millions of users ended up in the hands of the political consultancy cambridge analytica. concern has also been raised about political parties buying personal information from so—called ‘data brokers'. the fine is modest compared with previous sanctions against facebook, as our technology corrspondent rory cellan—jones explains. personal data, a vital weapon in election campaigns now the commissioner has found that is being misused in the social media giant is facing a record fine. the data of 87 million facebook users was harvested by now the political consultancy, that half £1 million fine for allowing that to happen will hardly make a dent in the social media giant's profits, but the watchdog says that penalty is still significant. it sends a very strong message to facebook and other online

platforms about what is expected of them and the regulator will step and with sanctions. this report shows just how much of our data can potentially be in—depth used for political purposes. it's notjust about your facebook details, every time you interact with a federal credit agency, read and mother and baby, your data could be sold to a political party. the information commissioner is planning to find her diary, a service, of passing the data of 1 diary, a service, of passing the data of1 million people to the labour party. the company says it does not agree with the regulator's findings, they insist that they have done nothing wrong. it suggest that the party has behaved unlawfully, the party has behaved unlawfully, the political parties have been contacted the political parties have been co nta cted by the political parties have been contacted by information commissioners and asked to review their policies. they're also looking into the leave the eu was founded by aaron banks, may have used data from its insurance business for political

purposes. this inquiry has some way to run. police in wiltshire say they've begun speaking to charlie rowley, one of the victims of the novichok poisoning, who's regained consciousness and is no longer in a critical condition. officers say they spoke briefly to him in salisbury district hospital. over a 100 counter—terrorism detectives are trying to establish the source of the nerve agent contamination. mr rowley‘s partner, dawn sturgess, died on sunday. 0ur correspondentjen smith has been following developments outside os salisbury district hospital. we now know that charlie rowley is in a serious in the hospital behind me. he has been speaking, we don't know the detail but he has been saying. but it says that what take a few days for him to regain his memory and be able to focus on the questions that are being asked. because of course, what he can tell the police can be very crucial to this investigation. they believe that it is something that he handled along with his partner, that led to their poisoning and hope that it could shed light

into the investigation of the poisoning of sergei skripal and his daughter in march. it is still a big police operation here in salisbury, we drove through the city earlier. 0utside queen elizabeth gardens, where don and charlie last visited before taking ill, police presence and cordons, but the police have now told us that they're focusing on one particular area of the park. the assistant commissioner said that the information charlie could give them can narrow their search dramatically. and as i've said, it's been a huge police operation that is now being recognised by the uk government today which is announced that the police will receive a two and a half million pounds grant to help cover the cost that they have incurred, which brings the total that they've received over £a million. but of course, the focus is now on charlie rowley who was on charlie rowley who is conscious, we have been told he is speaking. whatever he can tell detectives can seriously progress

this investigation. for the second time the bbc has revealed salary details of some of its presenters but it said the figures do not yet fully reflect some pay changes which won't filter through until next year's list. the match of the day presenter gary lineker has overtaken chris evans as the best—paid person on the list the highest—earning woman is claudia winkleman. some prominent names are not on the list because they work for bbc studios which has been classed as a commercial entity since last year, as our correspondent david sillito explains. it's been a year of protest and lobbying, for many of the women presenters. they were outraged when the bbc was forced to come clean about its pay deals and revealed just how much more its top male stars were earning. 12 months on, they have not revealed that the £700,000 dropped by rounded third,

john humphrey's publicly reported salary is falling around £600,000 to £a0,000, and the number of women being paid over £200,000 is doubled. last year men outnumbered women on this list, three to one. when told that the situation is closer to 60 — a0 and the goals make it 50—50 with them next year or so. but the highest—paid stars are all men. these things take time, especially when you're dealing with people who are the voices and faces of the bbc to millions of people. these things ta ke to millions of people. these things take time. but we have to also an sure that we're making real progress. replacing the world cup... now the highest—paid star on one million. highest—paid woman, test daily, doesn't appear at all because like many actors and presenters is paid by an independent firm with the

bbc‘s private production art. but explained by bbc names don't appear. but amongst viewers in cardiff, there was another concern.” but amongst viewers in cardiff, there was another concern. i just think it's far too much to be paid for what they do. if you trust what they say a know it they say, that's what the money to do the job. who is worth that much money? so some progress on the gender gap, but the bbc women campaigning for equal pay for there is still a long way to go. 0ver recent weeks firefighters across the uk have been struggling to deal with wildfires, especially on moorland in greater manchester and lancashire. but what's the impact of these fires on the air we breathe? scientists are now taking to the skies to try assess what sort of pollution these sort of fires are causing. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill reports. ravaged peatland is still burning, two weeks after the wildfire on saddleworth moor started. and with forecasts suggesting that this summer could

bring more wildfires in the uk and across europe, these researchers are taking to the smoky sky. this airborne laboratory, a converted passenger plane fitted with an instrument that sucks in samples of our atmosphere is heading into the smoke to work out what wildfires mean for the air that we breathe. we look at live data from the aircraft to identify when we think we're going through a plume and when we think we are in a plume, we hit a button and that takes a sample of airfrom outside the aircraft which we collect for analysis way down the line. entire ecosystems have been wiped out in two major fires that are still burning in the north of england. incidents that the fire service has described some of the worst it has ever seen. you can see the fire is still smouldering away. the saddleworth moor fire started on the 2ath ofjune and you can still see it burning, the peatland is definitely burning and a lot of people are wondering why this fire has become so big when there are controlled burns on moorland

and peatland reasonably frequently. one of the reasons is this peatland is so degraded, historic air pollution meant that the moss which contained so much moisture was killed by acid rain and that means this peatland has really dried out. so with the drought conditions and a lot of very dry heather, it gives a lot of fuel for this fire which is why it has become so huge. on board, the instruments reveal a spike in methane, a greenhouse gas and air pollutant carbon monoxide. back on the ground, the team will work out the smoke's exact chemical make up. potentially, if these types of fires are going to happen more often in a changing climate and potentially a drier climate in the uk, we need to understand what is being emitted from them and therefore how that's going to affect the atmosphere going into the future. it is our mission to capture this pollution as it drifts into our towns and cities. the headlines on bbc news.

go wild, after england's tripper scores a stunning goal in the first five minutes of their semi—final match with croatia. consternation at nato headquarters as us president donald trump says allies must increase spending on defence. it comes after he also said germany was being ‘totally controlled' by russia. new pictures emerge of the operation to rescue 12 boys and their football coach from caves in thailand — it's been revealed they were heavily sedated to stop them panicking. japan's prime minster has been visiting flood hit areas — as the region's death toll, reaches 179 with another 70 people still missing. torrential rains triggered landslides and floods in central and western japan. more than 8 and a half million people have been ordered to evacuate their homes. its the worst weather disaster the country has seen, since 1982. when the scale of the flooding

became clear, he cancelled the planned abroad. he went to see this natural disaster for himself. he visited a shelter, people had been washed out of their homes. the prime minister promised that everything they needed to rebuild lives. the government has put aside extra money, it pledged to make sure they get it quickly. the emotion of the ordeal told in the voices of some of them that he met. the clean—up has not begun, keep old sorting to the items they can be saved, and to those that must be discarded. it co nsta nt those that must be discarded. it constant reminder of more carefree times. somehow, the floodwaters left this miniature horse stranded on the roof, he fell off but was unharmed.

japan's worst flood in decades is blamed on climate change. japan is one of the best prepared countries in the world when it comes to disaster risk production and response, they are extremely well—prepared, so the magnitude of the casualties of receding now come really a n the casualties of receding now come really an indication ofjust how big into how extreme this was. why make nearly 200 people have died and hundreds of homes are without clean water, others have no power. japan has detailed plans that come with earthquakes, but it has done far less for flooding, and when is we are approaching the end of the

semi final, since the scene, eerily quiet as the tension increases, people hoping against hope that england pulls it off in the spinal couple of minutes. extra time. and we also see the picture in bristol, much of the same with a very subdued, other people's radios or perhaps their phone for, listening to the commentary and their eyes transfixed by those giant screens. and that is the end of bullet time, feed the crowd relaxes and see what now follows, penalties at the end of it. let's see if we can hear some

reaction to that full—time result as the team organises itself to begin. let's see if we can talk to our correspondents, who is in moscow, so it's all over but not quite. no, we have been here before, haven't we, extra time against colombia and the last six games, very straightforward. and sweden, we knew that this croatia's site was dangerous. perhaps they had a full sense of security after he put away that wonderful free kick after just five minutes. he has been lauded for weeks here in russia, how he stepped into this wide roll, many people say that his delivery is up there with david beckham, that was his first international goal and it is a wonderful free international goal and it is a wonderfulfree kick, international goal and it is a wonderful free kick, but international goal and it is a wonderfulfree kick, but something galvanised croatia at half—time, and

when he came in with all the fog was a fairly when he came in with all the fog was afairly high when he came in with all the fog was a fairly high boot, kyle was trying to make it clear with this said, but he scored the equaliser, england just lost their way and i think we saw there was the lack of experience, a sense of panic, england have got on average 13 less caps or something like that for man than croatia, and privacy felt that croatia's experience came to the forefront, yet the follow—up, an open goal practically to make it 2-1, open goal practically to make it 2—1, there was a substitution for england coming off sterling, but he wasted a couple of opportunities to not make the ball stick when his team—mates found amount, we are now going into extra time, 30 minutes and a possible penalty for the chance to play in a world cup final infour chance to play in a world cup final in four days' time here in moscow, against the french, i'm just looking

at my monitor now and he is very is commonly does calling his players around ina commonly does calling his players around in a huddle and my word, he really has to get them to settle, because for something like it 20 to 25 minute period, they completely lost the shape. this is the moment where the two preternatural calming spirit, the no drama, no panic nature can really come into its own. they are all listening intently, though i'm not sure they can hear insight that cauldron of the stadium, he has a very short period of time now to get his ideas across, just get them playing with some kind of shape and for each other, that has gone them so far in russia for the last three or four weeks to get to this point on the brink of something truly historic. their first world cup final since 1966,

and they were just 20 minutes away from that until that goal went in and that is clearly raising at the croatian tales, they are such a good team, 20 years ago they made their debut, the got to the semifinals then, they know that france is waiting for them in the final, this is their motivation, because they feel they should have beaten france and the semi final 20 years ago when france went on to win it, so they wa nt to france went on to win it, so they want to get their revenge and they've got some wonderful players. and also, the one who scored the equaliser. england has their work cut out for them but southgate, just going to the motions, speaking to his players individually to try and get his message across. revenge is a dish served cold, but one thing, looking at the two teams as they we re looking at the two teams as they

were performing this evening, which struck me. is it england have an advantage apart from this enthusiasm? this advantage apart from this enthusiasm ? this useful desire advantage apart from this enthusiasm? this useful desire not to let any obstacles stand in their way. the energy, they still look like they've got something in the tank. and croatia are going into the third period of extra time in a row, because they came through extra time on penalties, the same against the hosts, russia just a few days ago, the croatians came straight from there, still a bit of a march on the england team by basing themselves here, but they have been training here, but they have been training here with really high intensity, knowing that they will press go the distance yet again, as they will for another half an hour and perhaps penalties as well, but we are just about to get started on extra time. it's of our radio five live if you wa nt to it's of our radio five live if you want to listen. thank you as ever for that very fascinating summary of

the match and indeed of the kind of mindset that beat two teams have. that's go to southgate. you have agedin that's go to southgate. you have aged in the past 20 minutes if you don't mind me saying. the atmosphere is we have to keep going. there's a lot of momentum, a lot of optimism, people believe that england can go the long way and bring it home. it's worth mentioning, they're very nervous and they do not want this fairy tale to be over. this does get these opinions. what is your reaction so far? i reckon we're going to win and we're going to take, it's coming home. definitely. you make you been watching all night, you're a little emotional it

means absolutely everything. please, england. do it for me. and johnny, you're still optimistic. you believe we can do this quin optimistic? we're going to win at! we're going to score another goal! no problem! england! that is the answer. they're still optimistic. they are not giving upjust still optimistic. they are not giving up just yet. still optimistic. they are not giving upjust yet. and suddenly still optimistic. they are not giving up just yet. and suddenly the yea rs giving up just yet. and suddenly the years i've fallen off of you. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. well, at least the weather has been playing ball today, we have had plenty of dry weather with some sunny spells coming in for most. a different story on the west, thicker

cloud to the day and that is going to stay with us overnight, two parts of scotla nd to stay with us overnight, two parts of scotland and northern ireland, continuing to bring some patches of light rain. many of us having a dry night, comfortable overnight, 11 to 14 night, comfortable overnight, 11 to 1a degrees, perhaps a little bit warmer than that, tomorrow has quite a bit of flour, but was it some sunny spells coming through, across england and wales, but as we had to the afternoon, we're going to see some heavy showers, and western parts of england and wales as well. with the showers comes the risk of some pretty heavy rain, some of the showers will be happy. it'll be a little warmer as he reached 26 for london. well this is tense.

england and croatia are into extra time in the world cup semi final. kieran trippier gave england the lead with a free kick — beore perisic equalised for croatia, with a brilliant aerial finish at the back post. and this is how that second goal went down in zagreb. both sides well matched, it's hard to call. we're heading through the first half of the true time and we know what comes at the end of that extra half an hour if the team to still level. perranporth beach in cornwall. hyde park in london. everyone looking tends. nottingham castle in the east midlands. and manchester — castlefield bowl in the city centre.
